TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY.
by the House judiciary COM
mittec in Congress.

Washington, Feb. S.-Chairman Ray,
of the house committee on judiciary,
Friday presented the report on the bill
for the protection of the president
and the suppression of crime against
the government. The report states
that the committee has carefully con-
sidered the many anti-anarchist meas
ures and has sought to present wise,
conservative constitutional and effect
i've measure.
The purposes of the bill are summed
up as follows:
First prevent resistance to and protect
the president and vice president of the
United States and those by daw in the line
of succession to that high office; second,
protect the ministers and ambassadors OF
foreign governments accredited to and
within the United States; third, prevent
the open and deliberate approval of GER
tain crimes and also certain unlawful
teachings which. if permitted, are calcu-
lated and intended to breed lawlessness
and crime against and eliminate in the
destruction of the governments; fourth,
prevent the coming to or naturalization
in this country of those who teach or en-
terrain such pernicious doctrines; fifth,
prevent conspiracies in the United States
to murder the rulers of other civilized ma
tions; sixth, provide adequate and uniform
punishments for these offenses wherever
committed All the offenses against gov
eminent and intended to impair or over
throw the government of the United
States"
The report makes an Ella borate pres
entation of the powers of congress to
deal with the subject; the need of shut
ting out the lawless who seek our
shores, and the care the committee has
exercised not to trench upon legitimate
freedom of speech aud of the press.
