TEN DOLLARS A
Day To MURDER
M|LL|0NA|RES

PittsburG Sept. 2l.-Ten dollars a day is
the wage promised to men who will vol
unteer TO murder Pittsburg's millionaires
and burn their homes.
To obtain volunteers a notice was post
ed Yesterday afternoon the fence sur
rounding the old Cathedral site. now own
ed by III. c. Frick.
The appeal for blood was posted direct
ly opposite the Frick building on Fifth
avenue and within sight OF the windows
OF the Union National bank. Fricks big
financial institution.
1t attracted thousands of persons, who
blocked traffic on the street before they
were dispersed by the police.
Within Is minutes after the notice had
been torn away, Captain of Detectives
McGough made search through the
Rogues' Gallery and picked out photo
graphs OF a dozen Anarchists for inspec-
ton by the detectives.
Roger O'Mara, who, II is reported. Is
paid $4,000 year TO keep track OF Alex
ander Berkman, the anarchist who tried
to assassinate III. c. Frick, also disap-
peared from his office and is believed to
be busy looking for the man who posted
the notice.
Before the police arrived the crowd had
torn the notice to pieces, and John Roach,
detective, obtained only portions OF II.
Joined together It read as follows:
Anarchists notice-Murder the rich and
burn their homes. Too long have the
working people or this city been trampled
on by the rich. How easy IT is for them
to enjoy wine, women and song when
they grind out the lives of the poor TO add
to their riches. How easy II is for them to
buy flowers and enjoy themselves by sac
rificing mems lives. John with us and re-
dress your wrongs. We have suffered too
long. We want agents to murder the rich
and burn their homes. Wages $40 day.
II you are the right kind of a man go to
the corner OF Wood street and Fifth ave-
nue. and a man will give you the proper
sign"
The notice was typewritten on plain
white paper. The spelling was good and
the work evidently had been done by an
expert in typewriting, as the spacing and
alignments were perfect.
Last night the detectives doing street
duty along Wood street and Fifth avenue
were re-enforced by several policemen

We have heard from all the cities and
most OF the towns and II is strong for
our candidate. More particularly is the
sentiment strong in the towns where the
Bartlett managers were making large
claims The remaining caucuses on Tues
day will, according TO present conditions
be more decisive than ever and we expect
TO get 2So out OF the 293 delegates that re-
main TO be elected / still adhere to my
claim that we will have an overwhelming
number OF delegates for Mr.. Whitney.
There is room enough for all the Demo-
Gratis IN the Whitney ranks and now is
the time to make 1t unanimous.
