WAR ON ANARCHIST PAPERS.
POstOfRce Department VIII Begin
Campaign Tomorrow.

campaign IOmOrfOW.
WASHINGTON. June 3O.-A cru
SADIE which will probably result in
the suppression of all anarchist papers
and periodicals, with the exception OF
those devoted to purely philosophlc
anarchism, will be commenced tomor-
row by Postmaster General Meyer.
A thorough investigation of all papers
suspected of violent tendencies will
be made by postal officials and 1t is
possible that few socialistic sheets
may fall under the ban of official dis
pleasure.
Following the order denying the
use of the mails to a Patterson anar-
chist paper, Mr.. Meyer instructed the
Third Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral to formulate an order pro-
viding that papers of an anarchistic
or socialistic character, printed in a
foreign language, would be required
to print with 1t a translation In Eng
lish of any matter that was incen-
dairy or advocated anarchy. An ex-
animation of the law, however, dis
closed that such an order could not
be based on it. and accordingly Mr.
Meyer suggested to the post Office
committees of congress an amend
ment to section $3.50 of the revised
statutes. which prohibits the carrying
in the mails of indecent matter. The
amendment which was inserted and
upon which viii be based the forth
coming order of the postmaster gen.
eral is as follows;
And the term indecent within
the intendment of this section shall
include matter of character tending
to incite arson, murder or assassina-
ton"
This amendment will become active
tomorrow, and at that time 1t is the
intention OF the postmaster general
to detail officers of the department
to examine carefully a score or more
Of papers. some Of which are printed
in the English language, to see II
they are violating the new order.

Hafley's evidence which caused the
failure OF the woman's case against
the senator. and brought about her
arrest. Mr.. HafIey printed the blank
forms of the marriage certificate

filled out to indicate she had been
married to the senator. He testified
that these blanks were not printed

which Miss Wood alleged that she
