LONDON POLICE
Criticizes Them for Inefficiency in
Fight Against Three Anarchists
Who Died in Fortress.

LONDON, Jan. "A whale was
used 10 each a sprat'
This is the assertion today of the
London Express in criticizing the in
ability of 800 police. three companies
of Scots Guards and the fire depart
ment TO checkmate handful of anar-
Chists until a pitched battle, lasting
from early dawn until afternoon. had
been fought in a crowded section OF
the east side.
Other papers voice the same criti-
cism, none seeming to understand
why such an enormous turnout on
police and soldiers was necessary
The public is openly proclaiming that
LondaiAAs boasted police force proved
itself huge joke in yesterday :
stirring drama in Sidney-st
Search of the ruins has revealed SO
faI only three anarchist victims of
yesterdays fight. The report that
there were seven killed, six either b.
suicide or in the flames Of their burt
ing retreat, and one by the bullets o.
the attackers, it now develops was
spread by the police 10 explain their
apparent inefficiency.
Two of the dead anarchists Were
Fritz Svarrs, known as Dutch Fritz
and Peter the Painter" The third
has not yet been identified.
The body of Peter the Painter" was
not found until early today. He was
considered the ringleader OF the band
of outlaws.
Other outbreaks between the polio"
and anarchists are declared to be I'M
minent The authorities have learned
that there are at least fifty confeder.
ates of the dead anarchists scattered
through the east side and that they
are planning reprisals. The order has
gone out to effect their capture AT any
cost and 500 detectives. all armed. are
now searching for them.
The betrayal of the Sidney-st. out
laws came AS a result of their mis-
treatment OF a slum girl. whom they
had enticed to the house. This girl
told one OF her relatives and he tipped
off the police. At an early hour yes
terday morning. 800 police surrounded
the block in which the house was sit
uated and the fight began.
One certain result of the fighting
will be stricter immigration laws for
England. For years England has
thrown down the bars to practically
all classes OF criminals Political eX-
lies. particularly from Russia. have
found England the one retreat t.
which they could fly with safety
1t is now seen that this hospitality
has been rudel yabuscd and there 10
a universal demand for a new immi-
grafton law Home Secretary Church
III today promised an immediate IN
vestigation OF the question.
The Houndsditch fight on the night
os Dec &c. when three policemen were
killed by the gang OF which yeste;-
days anarchist victims were mem
bers. and yesterdays affair has caused
tremendous demand for the armins
of London's police with something
more effective than the little trun-
cheCns they now carry.

NICHOLAS MURRAY

DIR. NICHOLAS MURRAY
BUTLER, President of Column
bia University, made an address
before the Sphinx Club, in which
he attributed the high cost of
living to the gravitation of popu-
lation to the big centers-the
cities. He made the point that
people who were merely con-
Stunning foodstuffs and not pro-
ducing them were like people
who were using up their capital
instead of living on their income.
He mentioned some states
that during the last ten years in
creased but very little in popula-
ton, because of the fact that
people were leaving villages and
farms to go into the cities.
As listened to him, the
thought occurred to me that

Charles H. Strong, Scott's daughter,
several days ago, demanding a big
sum of money, is the cause for the
scurrying here Of Pinkerton detect
ives and United States postoffice in
spectors. With the utmost caution
the detectives have yelled their move
ments, and Chief of Police Edward
w. Wagner has worked night and day
at the head of the local department.
Basis of threat Not Known.
What threat the black handlers
made is not known but it is said to
have something to do with the recent
robbery of the Scott mausoleum.
That money was hidden in a stump
in swamp timberland near the east
ern city limits and carefully watched
by detectives is known. The detect
ives and the police refuse to talk.
Erie people believe there was a
purpose in closing the desecrated
tomb to all but the family detectives
and now the demand for money made
on Mrs. Strong and the coming here
of detectives has revived the report
that a body is really missing from
the tomb, and that it may be that of
the wealthy congressman.
Facts Kept From Public.
What threat could be used to de-
mand money from the Srongs other
than a stolen body is hard TO con-
lecture. From the second day after
the discovery that the tomb had been
entered every effort has been made
to keep the real facts from the pub
lie.
Mrs. Strong has been very nervous
since the tomb was forced open. She
has gone out very little and has taken
no part in social affairs. She has
been extremely anxious that every
precauton should be taken to prevent
another ghoulish visit to the tomb
This strengt ans the belief that some
thing has been expected in the way
of a demand for money. No arrests
/ had been made,
