Chicago, Ills, Mar. 3-While the
city, state and federal authorities put
plans on foot today to stamp out an
archy in Chicago, the police depart
ment pursued with a new Vigor its
search through the haunts of the radi-
Gals in the Ghetto for anarchists who
might ave a possible connection with
the attempted assassination of Chief
of Police Shippy yesterday.
The net results of police activity
during the day was the rounding up
of nine suspects. Three arrests, which
the police considered important, were
made in the afternoon.
A man who gave his name as Harry
Goldstein, and who is said to be the
agent of the Edelstadt society, an
anarchistic organization at All Union
street, was taken into custody while
distributing hand bills of a rabid an
archist nature. Two other suspects
whose names were withheld, were ar
rested and subjected to rigid exam
ination at the city hall.
A clew secured early in the day
led to the arrest Of Isadore Maron
who for a time was believed to be tht

curly haired companion of Aver
buch, the would-be assassin, as de.
scribed to the police by Olga Aver
bush, sister of the dead man. This
was later decided to be not the case,
but Maron admitted sufficient asso-
citation with the Chicago anarchists
to warrant his being placed in a
cell.
Another clew led to the arrest Of
VIM. III. Abramovitz, 20 years old, a
Russian Jew, student at the uni
versity of Chicago night school, and
employed as printer in the day time.
Others under arrest were held more
because Of their affiffiliation with an
archistic societies than from any ex'
pectation of connecting them with the
attempted assassination of the po-
lice head.
An organized movement against an.
archists by the department began with
a conference at the home of Chief
Shippy, in which the mayor and AS
sistant Chief of Police Schuettler took
part. 1t resulted in meeting being
arranged for tomorrow at which May.

TAFT and GUILD
TALK AT BOSTON

Boston, Mass. March "a great
audience at the Symphony hall to-
night heard addresses by Secretary
of War Taft, U. S. Senator j. Bur-
kett of Nebraska, Gov. Curtiss Guild
and Lett. Governor Eben S. Rraper.
All speakers were guests of the re-
publican club of Massachusetts,.
Governor Guild announced his pre-
ference for Secretary Taft for the
party nomination for president. The
governor also took occasion to deny
that he had been a party to any ar
rangement by which he would re-
ceive the nomination for vice presi-
dent. He added that should he be
selected he would not refuse the
nomination.
Taft said the administration OF
President Roosevelt will be remem-
bered as the extension of reforms,
many of which President Roosevelt
himself had indicated, especially
those in relation to his attitude
towards trusts and combinations OF
capital.

GRQNNA FIGHTS
FOR FARMERS

Washington, D. C. March 3-Rep-
resentatives of various chambers of
commerce and grain handling asso-
Citations appeared today before the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce to oppose the
passage of bills providing for uni
form classification of grain and for
export inspection by the federal gov
eminent.
Representative Gronna Of North
Dakota spoke in favor of the bills.
He said the grain growers of the
west have little complaint to make
against local elevator men but they
suffered heavy loss from lack of a
uniform system Of classification,
backed. by federal inspection, which
would guarantee fair grading of
grains at terminal or export points
within the United States.
Mr.. Gronna presented letters and
resolutions from the London Corn
Trade association and continental
and international grain boards and
committees to the effect that Ameri-
can grain is being widely discrimi-
mated against by European buyers
on account of lack Of uniform and
dependable system of grading.

Cumber. 81 am not generally in,

consciousness, but I can see that if
our industrial conditions are noe

Washington, D. G. March 81.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
and Newlands Of Nevada today spoke
at length upon the Aldrich currency
bill.
Mr.. McCumber was opposed to any
expansion of the currency except to
save the country from catastrophe,
he said. He referred to the inn
portation Of 800, 100000 gold dur
ing the panic. and declared that it
had not re-established old conditions.
If that amount Of gold had not met
conditions he had no convdence
that the proposed issue Of 100000,
900 Of emergency currency would
do it.
'"The expansion of currency" he
said, "does not expand the conf.
dence of the public in American Sc
curities."
The pending bill, he added, was
not put forth with the understand
ing that it would 'be tonic for in
dustrial conditions, but merely al
a means of relief in case of runs or
the banks. "That," he insisted, "is
the only purpose in the world tina,
could be assigned as a reason fol
/ giving support to it"
Previous panics had been brough
on by the people, but in the case o.
the recent panic it had been brough
on by the banks, he declared.

LOCAL CHECKS IN
 A STOLEN POUCH
Mail Pouch Stolen OR Monday. Nov. 30. at Fordyce, and Discovered ill a Thicket Near Town Last Saturday After Ii Had Been Riiled.

The theft of a mail pouch at For dyce more than ten days ago has been the source of no little annoyance, par ticularly to bankers, since there were numerous checks in the mail, payable to persons residing outside of For dyce. Tn fact, the failure of expected drafts to show up here in Pine Bluff led to the discovery of the theft.
 The pouch was taken on the night of Monday, November 20, but how it was secured is still unknown. 1t was not missed by the postal authorities, and not until complaint was made from outside points because of the non- arrival of mail several days aft erwards, was the missing pouch To- cated. It was found in a pine thicket near the town. last Saturday night, and near it were strewn much mail that the robbers decided, either from fright or some other cause, not to take.
 Several Of the banks of the town had placed their drafts in large-sized envelopes, and these were discarded by the looters, only the mail in small envelopes being taken. There were numerous drafts in the mail from the Citizens Bank of this city, how ever, which were enclosed in small envelopes, and these were taken Payment has been stopped, of course but the matter was of no small an noyance It is thought that the rob- bers may be located through some ef' fort at passing the checks. Only ont registered letter was found in the
 mai. and as this did not contain
 m, ney. it was likewise thrown aside
