FRANCE IS AROUSED
BY THREATSC COMING
FROM BANDIT BAND
Believed President of Nation
Is One of Those Marked
to Be Killed.

PARIS, May 2o.-Atlhough Octave Gar
nier, leader of the French anarchists,
Is dead, the terror which he and his
band inspired has not been allayed.
Garnier's followers, who operated in
the guise of automobile bandits, carried
on their depredations as highwaymen,
but evidence has been unearthed to
show that ultimately they .inteded to
strike at the government itself.
GARNER and Wallet, who were killed
by the police in the battle of Nogent
this week, and Bonnot and Dubois, who
were shot to death in the fight at
Cboisy-le- RoL two weeks ago, were all
in a plot which is said to have embraced
not only the assassination OF Police
Prefect Lepine, but high government Of
ficials.
President Fallieres Is reported to have
been one of the marked men. but the
police will not admit this. The fact that
within the past few days a bodyguard
of detectives accompanies the French
President when he leaves his official
residence is presumptive proof, however,
that the report is substantially correct.
The government Is in a state Of alarm
