chase
Harper says the bank president
walked in his sleep. He and Smith
watched the bank for several nights,

frequently witnessed Thornason enter
with the aid of his door key. They
never dreamed that he was not in full
possession Of his senses until they saw
him under an electric light with his
eyes closed
Then the robbers say they conceiv-
ed a plan to enter the bank with
Thomson and to gag him If he came
out Of his trance. They declare that
Thomson gave them the combina-
ton to the safe, which they looted,
and that they left, leaving Thomson
asleep in the bank.

TO BLOW UP FLEET.
An Anarchist Plot Reported From Rio
de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 20.-The Bra
lillian police have found an anarchist
plot here having as it's subject the de-
structon of part of the American fleet
now lying in the harbor. The con-
spiracy. while centering in Rio de
Janeiro and Petropolis, has ramifica-
ton in Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes. A
man named Jean Fedher. who lived in
Petropolis, was the chief conspirator
here, although foreign anarchists are
deeply involved in the plot.
Fedher Is believed to have fled to
Sac Paulo and the police. who know
him, have been sent to that place to
arrest him. One of the detectives who
was we'll acquainted with Fedher, hav-
ing served on the police force at Pc
tropOlis for some time, returned from
that place today after having made in
vestigations there and had long con-
ference with the chief of police Of Rio
Dc Janeiro. The latter gave 1t to be
understood later that the Sac Paulo
police are on the track Of the arch
conspirator and expect to arrest him
soon- In an official note which the
chief of police sent to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press he says:
Some time before the arrival of the
American fleet at Rio de Janeiro. the
| Brazilian government received from
Washington and Paris news that an
archfsts of different nationalities in
tended to damage one or several of
the ships of the American fleet. This
names and addresses of the conspira-
tors were indicated by Information
which the police here had received
previously from France and Germany.
The police Of this district are working
with the police of Sac Pau1o and
Minas Geraes and am sure every pre-
caution will be exercised and the most
rigorous vigilance observed both on
land and at sea to prevent any injury
being done"
The chief of police, after having
= III Ro{o 49,
he did not feel he should go into any
further details with regard to the con-
spiracy, but he auth orized 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 interior. The affair has
not yet been made public here.
The impression which the exposure
of this plot will create here will be
profound one, because 1t is the first
anarchist conspiracy that has ever
been known in Brazil

back yard, he succeeded in getting his
resolutions before his followers and
in having them adopted. They con-
demned in general, the governor for
having, as they claimed, driven the
unemployed from the steps of the
state house by his orders last week.
The police broke up this meeting, and
Swift was placed under arrest for
holding a public meering without a
