b Coburn has declined the United
States senatorship offered him
by Governor Hoch and the place has
been offered A. w. Benson of Ottawa.
Mr.. Coburn IS principal reason for
declining the place seemed to be his
reluctance to give up the work which
he has been doing as secretary of the
board Of agriculture for thirteen
years. Asked for his reasons tonight,
he said:
.tFor eight years have successfully
evaded any duty which would require
me to go to, the Copeland hotel and
hang around with the politicians. Such
work is absolutely foreign and repudi-
ative to me. / am party man and am
willing to do what can for the party,
but I would be expected to be over
there tonight doing things for the good
Of the party and accepting the judg-
ment Of a lot of men whom I do not
know, but who believe should do this
or that for the party's sake. I am toe
old to begin to learn the political game
and I am not going into it. I am salts

PURGING ITALY -
OF ANARCHISTS

Rome, June 1O.-Orders have
been issued last night to the au-
thorities of all the italian cities
to arrest the next forty eight hours,
all known anarchists, who are to
be detained in custody until after
June "a, on which date the king
will lay the cornerstone Of the new
mammoth Ancona cathedral. "a
It was reported early yesterday
that the trip contemplated by his
majesty had been abandoned be-
cause Of the discovery of several
anarchistic plots, and the arrest at
Ancona of certain anarchists and
the discovery of considerable anar-
chistic literature showing an at
tempt was to be made to kill the
king. The king has therefore re-
considered his plans. An order for
wholesale arrests was issued.
Attention is also to be directed
to the foreign anarchists, and all
foreigners found within the bor-
ders of Italy are to be deported
unless they can show absolutely
that they are not affiliated with
any anarchistic set. W. d.
Ever since the attempt made on
the life of King Alfonso and Queen
| Victoria the italian authorities
have been very active in locating
all anarchists and the leaders of
the "reds' are being continually
Swallowed.
Many have been arrested on
technical charges and in several in
stances the offenders have been
railroaded to prison after perfunct-
