Intended to Murder
Wealthy Men.
TWO ARE UNDER ARREST
Planned to Create Reign Of Ter.
ror in New York.

New York, March "a confession
of their part in an anarchistic plot
involving the assassination OF Andrew
Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John
D. Rockefeller and other wealthy men,
and the organization of reign of ter
ror and looting in this city is said by
the police to have been made by Frank
Arbano, who was arrested following
his attempt to wreck St. Peters ca
thedral with bombs, and Charles Car
bone, eighteen years old, who was ar
rested later as an accomplice.
The men arrested, however, assum.
ed all responsibility, denying that any.
one else was involved. When arraign-
ed they were held without bail for
examination Thursday.
The plans of the conspirators mis-
carried because a young policeman,
EmeliO Poignant, joined in the plot
as an avowed anarchist and for sew
eral weeks kept the police Informed
Of the movements of his companions.
Poignant was arrested in the cathe-
dral with the men who placed the
bomb, but this was only in accord
ance with the prearranged plan of his
superiors
Through the clever replies of Polig-
mani, who assumed the role of a surly
prisoner, Arbano was led into making
his confession, according to the police,
and later Carbone is said to have cor
roborated his partners story
Arbanos story to the police was de-
scribed later by officers as follows:
II was in this job, but never in any
other l put those bombs in there.
had been told that Archbishop Corri-
gan and Archbishop Hughes and other
big men in the church were buried
under the floor where I put the bombs
and it was my hope that the explo-
sion would open their graves.
Carefully Studied Anarchy.
About five years ago l began to
study anarchy. That, I decided, was
the proper means of settling the
wrongs of the people. This was a
terrible winter for the poor Our
group decided to do something.
I'VE decided to open a campaign
against the Catholic and Protestant
churches, then to terrorize and per-
haps destroy the homes of the Rookie
fellers, Carnegie and some of the
anderbilts, and, finally, when we had
the city terroriZed, to invade the
banks at the head of an army of the
poor and help ourselves to the boards
of the rich.
1--WE fixed on St. Patrick's cathedral
as the place to start because it is the
biggest Catholic church and our dem
OnstratiOn there would attract so
much attention. Carbone was select
ed to make the bomb and he brought
the material uptown.
He made the bomb according to
directions in a book printed in Italian
and circulated by the anarchists.
This book tells how to make bombs,
how to place them and how to get
away"
Abarno insisted he had no part in
the bomb explosions Of last fall in
st. Patrick's cathedral and in front

single exception Of Barre. After this
statement had been allowed TO sink into
the minds Of lie readers, the paper in.

Submarines and Aeroplanes.

Washington, d. c., Aug. l4-President
Wilson has postponed discussion of the

ries Garrison and Daniels until next
week. Mr.. Garrison is away for the
week end.

larly seem to have come to the eonclu-
sion that there should be large increases
in submarines and aeroplanes for our
national defenses," said the secretary.
