Of the United States, b. appropriate res
olutions. called upon Congress to define
anarchy. The assassination Of President
Mckinley, which occurred at a period of
the country's prosperity. and at a time
when that statesman had attained the
zenith of his greatness. was startling
and shocking deed and awakened the
heads Of the police TO a realization be-
yond doubt that there exists in this
country ~ element antagonistic TO the
state which renders and receives aid
from a like element abroad.
Congress had been asked to provide a
law and penalty against these classes.
70 establish a national bureau of Grim
inal identification, and this year foreign
heads Of police gladly and broadly ex-
pressed themselves ready and willing to
join witIathose Of the United States in
efforts to stay the progress OF the dis
ease.
He said that during the last session
Of Congress a bill was introduced in
both branches. and favoTably reported
by the judiciary Committee Of the House
CT Representatives, which provided for
the establishment OF Bureau of Grim
inaI Identification IN connection with
the Department of Justice in Washing
ton, at an annual expenditure Of about

pointment of a superintendent and as
