PLAN RO0SEVELTS DEATH
Anarchists on Three Different Occa-
sions Assign Assnssins to
Kill President.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-Mrs. Lena Dox-
heimer has related a story Of anarchist
plotting against the life of President
Roosevelt.
According to her there have been in the
last fourteen months three persons as
signed to the task of removing the presi-
dent. One Of these, a Frenchman named
Melov, she pursuaded to leave for Paris,
but he put hin self in the way of death.
by street car. to spare his relatives from
regarding him as a suicide.
Next, the assassin's task was assigned 10
a man named Mueller, living in Avenue B,
this city, who a few days later died OF
poison, self administered. The last of the
three was a Mrs. Schroeder of Harlem,
who also ended her life by means of poison.
Mrs Doxheimer asserts that among the
plotters were several millionaires. Her
conception of what constitutes a million
aire is indicated by her statement that
these men "owned houses"
Mrs. Doxheimer says that recently she
has left the anarchist society and
Joined the Methodist church at Hoboken
which has brought her under suspicion by
her former associates who have followed
her and her husband from place to place,
so that they have required the protection
of detectives. She is supposed to be mad.

The seizure was followed by a scarce
the Voerwaert's office for the manuscript
Of the article in question, which was a
column in length and contained what pur-
ported to be details of the Italian police
investigation into the charges made.
The Berlin police during the visit
forced the desks of several members OF
the reichstag, among them being Herr
BebeTs This. the Voerwaerts aver, is con-
trary to the constitution and will be a
matter to be taken up later.
An acquaintance of Herr Krupp says
the latter has been aware since July
that a malicious story was in circulation
and added that II was the result of a con-
spiracy OF Capri hotelkeepers, where the
great gunmaker has a residence, and
who, supposing him to be about to build a
modern hotel on the island, determined to
drive him from the place.
What began as a project to make Capri
distasteful to him developed into a
scheme OF blackmail which he has thus
far ignored
The Voerwaerts was perhaps misled but
Herr Krupp designs taking immediate
steps toward legal vindication.

With this panegyrlc Major General Chat

at tonights banquet at the Union League
club.
The hero of Ell Caney and General
Lloyd Wheaton, conquercr OF the Moros,
had met for the first time since they
parted in the jungles af Luzon, and, nm
abeshed by the presenTs OF The 45o guests.
they had shown the warmth of a soldiers
greeting.
Wheaton had been invited to sit with
the guest OF honor at the speakers table,
but modesty made him late. General Chat
fee saw him first as he treaded his way
among the tables. He arose, and, reach
ing across the table, beckoned him to
approach.
General Wheaton made his way around

blushed modestly through his beard and
dropped his head to hide the tears that

What they said was drowned in cheers,
and General Wheaton sat down within
