"Bloody Easter" Also
Promised

From the shadows of Central park
comes a story which predicts a bloody
Easter for the world.
An Angeleno. who does not wish his
name used in connection with the
disclosure on account of good and
serious reasons, said yesterday:
81 was sitting on a. bench In Central
park last October when two men took
seats on the bench back of me, tree
preventing their noticing me. 1 over
heard their talking about Forthcoming
events of import in Europe and in fact
all over the world.
"They told of plots being formed
to do away with rulers of Europe.
"They spoke, one in German. the
other in Polish.
"They told, during the course OF
their conversation, which was carried
on in subdued tones, of plot to make
away with the German kaiser during
his forthcoming visit to London. And
you remember, there was disturbance
in London during the kaisers visit, and
Scotland Yard was kept busy for a
time.
Predictions Are Carried Out
"They also foretold of events tc
transpire in Portugal and Spain, and
you remember how a plot against the
king of Spain was just nipped in the
bud, while the plot against the king
of Portugal was carried out success
fully.
mot only that, but they predicted
the carrying out of a plot against
prominent government men in the
United States-but not the president.
"What made me speak of this to a
newspaper man is that they said thai
they looked for a bloody Easter as
they called it. / do not know whether
that applies to Europe only, or also tC
America. At one time was so worked
UP about the matter, when l found
that their predictions concerning plots
against the kaiser, the king of Spain
and the king of Portugal, and so forth
were true, that 1 thought 1 would try
to send President Roosevelt word. But
upon second thought, / remembered
they had said no plot was intended
against him.
Roosevelt and Francis Joseph Safe
$50 he is in no danger except from
some crazy assassin. In that respect
Roosevelt is as safe as the emperor Of
Austria, whose democratic spirit has
endeared him to his people so that he
also is safe from any but a madman.
"And then l felt sure that not much
attention would be paid to my story
which I could not prove.
81 am looking forward to Easter
with feeling of dread of what new:
of massacre or assassination may
break forth at that time as result Of
the anarchists, because firmly believe
that those men knew what they were
talking about. Their manners, theil
voices and furthermore the sequence
of events, proved the seriousness o.
their discussion there in the darkness
of the park"

this deterioration cannot be compen'

That IL has been changed from 10y

brought about this change Is unques-

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX,

This spring season has been re-
markable for high winds. Those who
live on seacoasts realize the fact
more keenly than city denizens.
Whenever the combination or wind
and waves makes splendid pictures
for the eye and orchestral music for
the ear, one with any imagination
must think OF the peril which attends
the lives OF thousands OF men whose
occupation is with the sea.
There Is comparatively little danger
connected with our great ocean lin.
ers; no more than with our railroad
systems. and not as much as is 10 be
encountered in any automobile drive
with the average mechanic al the
wheel.
But the sea is traversed continually
by small vessels, craft which bring
and carry merchandise; sailing ves-
sells do an active business on the sea,
and whaling ships still go forth To
dangerous battle with the monsters %
the deep.
Besides these men, whose mark II
Ia TO live upon the ocean at all times
of year and face ell kinds OF weather,
there Is the large organization of life
savers composed OF the bravest, most
daring and self-sacrihcing men of the
world, for there is no other element
so terrible TO encounter as an angry
sea.
Almost Daily They Face Death.
1t is only now and then We read CT
what these men do but where one
great occasion makes public their
splendid courage in saving the lives
imperilled by some notable situation
OF danger. there are hundreds OF oc'
casions arising every week where
these heroes run the risk OF death.
because OF seeming danger TO one an
known individual, or the possible
peril OF small craft.
The continual strain under which
the life savers live breaks down their
