TO KILL PRESIDENT.


AlIeSeu AuECu1btD.
New York, Nov. 1s-Mrs. Lena Dox-
heimer, who says that until she became .
member of the First M. r. Church at HO.
boken. two years ago, she was asao.
ciated with an anarchistic society OF thae
place, and whose mental balance is quesa
toned is reported to have related to
the Mothers Club and the pastor OF her
church, a story of alleged anarchist plot
tings against the life Of President Roose-
Welt.
According to Mrcs Doxheimer, there has
been in the last fourteen months three
persons assigned to the tast of 'remov-
ing the President. One Of these, Q
Frenchman named Mellow, she says, she
persuaded to return to Paris, where he
was killed by street car. She processes
to believe that he put himself in the way
of death in order to spare his relatives
the humiliation of regarding him as Q
suicide
Next. according to Mrs. Doxheimer. the
assassin's task was assigned to a man
named Mueiled. living in Avenue B. this
city. who few days later died of poison
ing self-administered, The last of the
three designed for the murderous word.
Mrs fDoxheimer alleges was a Mira.
Schroeder Of Harlem. who also ended her
life by means of poison.
Mrs. Doxheimer asserts that among the
plotters were several milionaires. Her
conception of what constitutes million
aire Is indicated by her statement that
these men owned houses" Mrs. Dox-
heimer says that recently she had been
under suspicion Of her former anarchistic
associates and that they have followed
her and her husband from place to place
so that they have required the protection
of detectives
The Rev. Charles L. Meade, Mrs, Dox-
heimer's pastor, will make no statement
regarding the s0-called confession.

following call for the meeting:
A Unique Call.
do YOU wish to add ten thousand peo-
pie to the population of Montgomery dur
ing the next two years?
do YOU wish to free Montgomery from
the bondage OF a cne-crop agricultural
community?
DO you wish Montgomery to enter
aggressively upon a field of industrial ac-
tivity?
IF so, come and hear about it at the
special called meeting of the Association
Tuesday night"
Chairman Nathan Lobman OF the So
letting Committee, reported that some
of the subcommittee had done excellent
work. All of the committees had been
out and collected some money. Up to
this time he said 1900 had been sub
scrlbed He then appealed to those pres
ent TO see that the money was raised
as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Leopold Strauss urged the members
TO have a heart to heart talk and devise
some means to get the $4,000 for the fac
tory.
Secretary L. Gilbert then read letters
received by him from the stove factory
managers. The letters expressed the
pleasure Of the management at the dis
match with which the Association had
taken I'D the work of raising the money.
One Of the letters stated that towns and
cities from all over the United States

President hice, factories that will bring
people here, factories that employ men,
men who will have families to support
in Montgomery"
Mr. Rice cited as examples why Mont
gomery should have factories. the pros
perity of manufacturing towns and cities
he had visited.
Professional Man Talks.
Mr.. Fred 8. Ball said that the subject
seemed one for business men. but
although a professional man, he knew
that the bringing Of the stove factory to
Montgomery meant much to the city. Mr..
Ball said that to get good results. the
pattern of others who have already
achieved success must be adopted. Mont
gomery. he said. has been going along
in the same old way so long. the citizens
have become narrow minded and pessimis-
tic. They needed factories and the
hustlng life of manufacturing towns in
stilled in them to make them broad
minded
Those who have given" said Mr.. Ball.
must double their subscriptions-those
who have not given must give to the ex-
tent of their means"
Secretary Gilbert said Montgomery has
now the opportunity to get good start
to develop manufacturing interests. II
the stove factory could be brought to
Montgomery others would follow and
thousands Of dollars would be brought to
the city.
Mr.. F p. Glass. Secretary and Treas
urer of The Advertiser Company said
that his was a new voice in the councils
of the Commercial and Industrial Asso-
citation. but he was glad to speak on such
a subject. All old towns, said Mr.. Glass,
are afflicted by having some of their rich
men close-fisted The young men should
be looked after by the committee. and
those who are able to give small sums
should do so.
MONTGOMERY has capital, brains, loca-
ton. a river and good water" continued
Mr.. Glass. land she will have the factory
as soon as she wants to have it"
A Convincing Example.
To show how valuable an enterprise a
stove factory is, and that it can be built
up in a city apart from the iron and
coal region, Mr.. Glass read from recent
issue Of The Nashville American this
statement concerning a similar enterprise
In that city:

Co. Is the concern that does the business

discredited Iowa politician. whom the
President made Collector of Customs at
New York and Southern manager OF po-

This is the discovery: In nearly every
Southern State where the lily white move
ment was making progress and the negro
was being eliminated, there was secret
hostility to the President. Negro leaders
In the South, especially Booker Wash

had some experience with the Republican

that the President had more genuine
