for the appointment by the Speaker of a
committee of five members to investigate
and report upon the feasibility of re-
moving all desks from the chamber Of

placing them, within a smaller area,

Mr.. Reed was of the opinion that the

"to do all in our power to prevent any
murders in this city and to keep fanatics
from going from here to commit crimes

killing are, so far as we can ascertain,
those who understand least about oul

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAR. 4, 1908.

WHEN President Mckinley was assas-
sinsted at Buffalo nearly seven years sgo
there was a general demand made upon
the government to take in custody and
deport all undesirable citizens in the
shane of anarchists and other outlaws.
There was considerable talk at that time
concerning what should be the course OF
the authorities, although virtually moth
inc was done to rid the land OF the
classes referred to. Since the murder OF
the President anarchists have continued

that drastic measures will be insugu'
