PLOT TO KILL TAFT
POLICE UNEARTH CONSPIRACY
TO AssASSINATE PRESIDENT
AND MAYOR OF SPOKANE.
THREE MEN ARE ARRESTED
All Are Alleged to Be Anarchists
Secret Agents Obtain Verbatim
Conversations of PIotters Through
Thin Hotel Walls.

Spokane, Wash.-The police au-
thorities of this city believe that they
have unearthed an anarchistic plot to
take the lives of President Taft,
Mayor N. S. Pratt Of Spokane and
one or two other persons in the arrest
of three men here Monday.
The men are salso held on the
charge Of being implicated in the
murder of Chief Of Police Sullivan
several months ago. The men are
Stuart Moffett, John Steele and An
drew Johnson.
The police claim to have overheard
plot to kill Mayor Platt on the eve
of the municipal election, and to kill
President Taft when he leaves the
White House for his summer vacation.
Moffett, the police say, was instiga-
tor of the Haymarket riots; Steele is
an alleged anarchist leader, and John
son is said to be the financial agent
for the local band.
The suspects lived in a small room
in the San Francisco hotel. Secret
agents of the police have been in an
duJOluluS IOOu1 IOE sew ld1 WSShS pe1oI
and had decided not to make the ar
rest until after Tuesdays election.
The overhearing of a conversation
Sunday night, however, in which the
assassination of Mayor Pratt was set
for election eve or the day of cleo
ton, caused the police to make the
arrests. The three men have been
under surveillance for a long time.
The police have taken verbatim re-
ports Of the conversations held by
the prisoners by having stenographers
in adjoining rooms. The hotel is a
cheaply built house and the walls are
thin.
Moffett is said to have thrice visited
the mayor 5 house only to find an
armed guard. Mr.. Pratt has been
warned many times of violent death
at the same hands which killed Chief
of Police Sullivan.
1--WE will get Taft when he leaves
the White House for his vacation" is
the statement Captain of Detectives
Burns says he overheard Moffett
make. Detective Burns also has YER
batim statements in which Steele
was talking of his maneuvers after
killing the police chief.

UNFOLDING THE AMERICAN HEN.

There can be no doubt that the hen
deserves all the fame she has received,
and all the good newspaper space that
is allotted her. Whatever concerns
the American hen concerns the great
American public The other day the
United States court Of customs ap-
peals, a sort of glorified legal leXl-
con, decided that bird was not
definition for hen" In short that q
hen is not a bird, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The hen has feathers,
it flies, it sings, but 1t mustn't be
classified with canaries, wrens, spar
rows and tomtits. OF course, this de-
cision wasn't drawn out by any chance
seeker for knowledge. 1t was the re-
suit of an important official appeal.
Eggs imported from China-which diff
fer materially from china eggs-are
usually broken out Of the shell and
frozen. The customs officials declared
that these eggs entered into competi-
ton with those of the American hen,
and assessed a duty on them of five
cents dozen. The importers insisted
that the eggs were entitled to admis-
sion free as birds eggs, In accordance
with a certain section of the tariff.
They also contended that the eggs
were albumen and only dutiable as
such. But when the question reached
the five i16poS of fine court Of aDOealS
they nobly took the side of the Amert-
can hen, declaring that the oriental
product was a competitor, that hens
eggs are not birds eggs, and that the
duty levied by the customs officers
should stand

STARTS ON LONG TRIP
TO TOUR THE SOUTH
AND SOUTHWEST.
Will Participate in Many Important
Events During the Next TWO
Months.

New York-Former President
Roosevelt left Wednesday on two
months tour of the south and south
west A $4,000 dinner, reunion OF
the Rough Riders, day spent In pre-
siding over ceremonies to be held IN
the town of Roosevelt, Ariz., to mark
the opening of the Roosevelt dam. one
of the greatest engineering teatS III
the west, and long hunting and fish
ing trips in and about the Rockies are
some Of the things which will enliven
the peregrinations of the former pres
ident.
In Birmingham he addressed Child
Labor Commission. New Orleans en-
tertained the ex-Rough-Rider with a
$4,000 banquet given under the
auspices of the Commercial club
of Louisiana. The annual conven-
ton of Cattle Raisers," one of
the most powerful organizations in
the state of Texas, was addressed
by the Colonel at San Antonio
The next stop in the initerary
was Albuquerque, N. M, where
the ex-Rough Rider spent two days
among his old friends of the sad
die. From there he went to Grand
Canyon, Ariz., where a short address
was delivered. Then on to Phoe-
nix for the opening of the Roosevelt
dam.
In Los Angeles, Colonel Roosevelt
will speak at the invitation of Gov
ernor Johnson Of that state.
San Francisco, the termination Of
his trans-continental trip, will receive
some ten days of his time. Here he
will divide his time between the Uni
versity of California, at Berkeley,
where he will deliver the Earl lee
lures, six in number; and his head
quarters in the city where he will re-
ceive visitors from the Pacific slope.
No definite arrangements, other
than personal promise to be pres
ent at the opening of the new Y. M.
G. A. building at Reno, have been
made, though it is probable that he
will visit friends in Oregon and Ne
vada for an intermediate period, aft
er which he will visit Seattle and
Spokane. No speeches to be deliver
ed in those states are yet announced;
nor is the length of his stay. At the
conclusion of his visit he will proba-
bly, go to some place in Idaho, thence
to Sand Point, Montana, and home
through the north and middle west.

They seem to be having fun with
the London police. The recent ex-
plot, involving a pitched battle with
two alleged anarchist criminals, sub
jected the force" to a great deal Of
more or less caustic criticism. And
now the papers and the people are
making remarks because a bulldog,
guarding the body Of it's master, who
had committed suicide, held a dozen
big policemen at bay and was only dis
posed of by the roundabout method Of
calling in a doctor who killed the ami
NAL by feeding it poisoned meat. Still,
there is something to be said in be-
half of the boobies" An able-bodied
and ferocious bulldog is an enemy
by no means to be despised.
