GREAT POWERS IN TERROR
UNIFORM LAWS FOR SUPPRES
.sION OF ANARCHY BEING
AGlTATED.

washington, June lZ.-COnCOfd OF
action among the powers against an
archists and anarchism is now under
consideration at this capital and in
the chancellories of Europe. An in
ternational conference, at which this
subject will be discussed and meas.
ures taken, uniform in all countries,
to suppress anarchy, has been sug.
gested, and it would surprise no one
who has followed recent develop
ments if President Roosevelt took the
initiative in the matter
The attempt of Morales on the life
of Alfonso and his bride in Madrid
has been followed by spasm of ter
ror in monarchical Europe, and Ger
tain representatives of Old World
governments stationed in this coun-
try, express the belief that the out
rage was conceived by anarchists in
the United States.
Hunt for Morales Pals.
1t Is not known whether their be-
lief is based upon suspicion or actual
facts. But it is known that the
American authorities have been told
by foreign consular officials that the
Spain to ascertain the identity of
Morales confederates will eventually
lead to the shores of this country.
No tangible movement for assem-
bling an international conference on
the subject of anarchy has yet been
started, but the suggestion has been
made, discussed by responsible Off
cials here, and the belief prevails that
1t will take form and substance be-
fore many months have passed.
Running Down "Reds."
Special agents of the secret service
and officials of the United States i'm.
migration bureau are constantly en-
gagged in the work of running down
anarchists or keeping suspects under
surveillance A few weeks ago a
complaint was made by the Italian
consul at Baltimore that group OF
reds" had arrived in that city, and
the suggestion was made that they
should be watched. An inquiry was
instituted and it was discovered that
the consul had sounded false alarm.
Information has just been received,
however, showing that the group the
consul had in mind had not reached
this country, but that they were about
to sail from Europe. The group in
question is expected to arrive at New
York or Baltimore in a few days, and
it will be given return passage on
the same vessel that brings it here
Roosevelt May Take Lead.
The present immigration laws ap.
pear to be inadequate in dealing with
anarchists who present themselves
for admission at American ports.
The proposal for an international
conference on anarchy comes in the
main from foreign quarters, where, it
is believed, good results would follow
If President Roosevelt took the first
step in the direction of such a confer
ence. What the president thinks of
the project, or whether he has given
1t any consideration, is not known
The probabilities are that in the near
future the subject will be taken up
with the executive through diplomatic
channels.
Pope Closely Guarded.
Rome, June 12.-Pope Plus yester.
day went to St. Peters for the beati-
fication of the Venerable Bonaventure
of Barcelona. Thousands of persons
were admitted to the basilica on tick
cts. There was some fear felt for the
safety of the pope, in view of rumor
having been spread that three French
anarchists intended to make an at
tempt on his life. The police took
energetic measures to see that there
was no breach of the peace, and the
ceremony passed of with no untow-
ard incident. b.
