DISCOVERED BY
BRAZILIAN POLICE
WAS THE ANARcHIsTIc PLOT Tc
DESTROY AMERICAN
FLEET.
HARBOR OF RIO JANlERO
SELECTED FOR THE DEED
pastardIy Scheme Was Conceived In
Europe-IndividuaI Named Jane Fed.
her Of Petropolis, Understood to Be
the Leader.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. zo.-The Brazilian
police have discovered an anarchistic
plot here having az its object the
destruction of part of the American
fleet now lying in the harbor. The
conspiracy, while centering in Rio
Janeiro and Petropolis, has ramifica-
tions In Sac Paulo and Minas Geras.
An individual named Jane Fedher,
who resided in Petropolis, was the
chief conspirator here, although 1t Is
understood that foreign anarchists are
deeply involved in the plot.
Fedher is believed to have fed to
Sac Paulo. and the police, who know
him, have been sent to that place for
the purpose of apprehending him.
One of the detectives. who was well
acquainted with Fedher, having served
on the police force at Petropolis for
some time. returned from that place
after having made Investigations
there. and had a long conference with
the chief of police of Rio Janiero.
The latter gave It out later that the
Sac Paulo police are on the track of
the archconspirator and expect 10 ar
rest him soon.
IN an Official note the chief of police
says:
Some time before the arrival of the
An erican fleet at Rio Janeiro the Bra
lillian government received from
Washington and Paris information
ihat anarchists of different nationali-
ties intended TO damage one or several
of the shius of the American fleet. The
names and addresses of the conspira-
tols were indicated by information
which the police had received pre-
viously from France and Germany.
The police Of this district are working
with the police Of San Paulo and
Minas Geras. and I am sure every pre-
caution will be exercised and the most
rigorous vigilance observed both on
land and at sea to prevent any injury
peing done"
The chief Of police after having
made this official statement, said thar
he did not feel he should go into any
further details with regard to the con-
spiracy. but he authorized the state
ment that the plot was organized by
Fedher, and he added that the people
Of the United States could rest easy.
as all OF the conspirators had taken
refuge in the interor.
AS yet the people Of Brazil are ig.
norant of the details Of the plot to do
injury to the visitors. although there
has been some slight inkling Of the
matter.
The impression which the exposure
OF this plot will create here will be a
profound one, because II Is the first
anarchistic conspiracy that has ever
been known IN Brazil. The police OF
San Paulo have sent word that they
are on the track OF the malefactors
who. they declare. will not be allowed
to come to Rio Janiero.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Rr Adm. Pills
bury said that no advices were re

SCHOOL CHILDREN VIII MoNEY.
One Pupil in New York Acted as the
Family Bank.

Where do school children get all
the money they take to SCHOOL," was
asked a New York teacher who was
worrying over the frequent thefts
from the pupils in her room.
I don't know" she said. "The stu
alton is puzzling. It is a fact that
almost every child brings money to
school. Many of them have only
cent to buy doughnut or a stick OF
candy, but others carry surprisingly
large sums. Not long ago the charges
OF theft were so frequent in my room
that tried to stop this universal
carrying Of money. l asked the moth
ers not to give their children money
during school hours. except in cases
where 1t was really needed to buy
luncheon. Many of them promised to
cut on the allowance, but the small
coins continued to circulate just the
same. A few mothers declared that
they gave the children money for safe
keeping. / learned that one girl in
my class came to school day after day
with from $40 to $50 pinned in her
clothes. The father spent everything
he could lay his hands on, and as the
little girls garments were the only
place where he could never find the
money she was converted into the
family bank"
The plan seemed to work. so far as
the spendthrift father was concerned.
but it worried the teacher.
