PLOT 70 KILL KAISER FoILED
Three Supposed Anarchists Are Under
Arrest at Breslau.

Berlin. Sept. 11.-According to the
Tageblatt, the kaiser has just been
saved from being made the victim OF
an anarchist plot by the vigilance OF
the police who arrested at Breslau
three foreigners, who had been COM
missioned by the international terrorist
during the military maneuvers which
he is now attending in Silesfa.
The prisoners are an Italian named
Matacci or Maccini, an Austrian known
as F'liegner or Friedling, and Pole
named Landesberg or Landenberger.
Matacci was expelled from Italy two
years ago, since when he has assoc1-
ated with Russian terrorists at Geneva.
He shared in the recent outrages in
Poland
The three arrived at Breslau at diff
ferent times. They We're watched by
detectives for several days. including
four which the Kaiser sent there on the
eve Of the maneuvers. when the most
elaborate precautions were taken to
protect him.

to be known as more dangerous than
others who are reported to have been
arrested or expelled from the country;
A dozen police entered the house
which was their rendezvous on Posener
street yesterday. They had hard
fight to capture the desperadoes, who
savagely resisted with knives and dag

in the house establish the fact that the

HEAT MENAcEs MAGAZINES.
Changes to Be Made in Battle Ships
Louisiana and Minnesota.

Washington. Sept. 12.-Overheated
magazines of the battle ships Mime
sofa and Louisiana are giving concern
to officers Of the different bureaus
which have to deal with the problems
of the internal arrangements OF naval
buildings.
These magazines are overheated by
the steam pipes which conduct steam
from the boilers to the steering engine.
The pipes are covered with noncon-
ductible material, but even so they
make the compartments too warm for
ammunition which must be stored IN
them to make the ships complete fight
ing machines.
To remedy the present condition the
steam pipes will have to be carrier
thru different parts of the ship from
the magazines or air spaces VIII nave
to be constructed between the pipes
and TIE magazine chambers. These
changes can be made at any time anu
will not necessarily interfere with the
use of the Louisiana to take the presl-
dent to Panama.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE,
Clarence T.. Eaton, of Tacoma, Will
Seek to Remove Public Preju-
dice Against Belief.

1t is quite evident that all the re-
ligious denominations are broaden
ing out in their views and theories
of salvation. Many evidences of this
are to be noted in the daily press,
and in the pulpit discussions.
Anent the coming of Christian
Science lecturer to Salem 1t will be
interesting to note what Methodist
clergyman said upon such an occa-
sion recently. At Fort Collins, Col,
Rev. Geo. p. Avery, pastor of the
local NJ. f. church. introduced the
lecturer, and in doing so said he
would put away any prejudice he
might have against Christian Sci
ence, and respectfully urged all his
hearers to do the same. The speak
er of the evening could not have
been given a more cordial or kindly
introduction than the Rev. Mr.. Av-
cry gave him.
The lecture in Salem is to be at
the opera house next Friday evening
by Clarence e. Eaton. of Tacoma.
His lecture is for the purpose OF
further removing public prejudice,
and giving his hearers correct In
terpretation of what Christian Sci
ence means and stands for. The
lecture will be given under the aus
plces of the local Christian Scien-
lists, and will be free to the public.
