ANARCHISTS PLAN
TO WRECK CHURCH

NEW YORK, March "A plot to
blow up the famous st. Patrick's ca
thedral during o'clock mass this
morning was frustrated when a de-
tective stamped out the fuse of a
bomb, only twenty feet from the al
tar.
One detective disguised as an usher
seized an Italian after he took light
ed bomb from his coat. A second
Italian fled but was captured at the
door, and a third was arrested at his
home later. 1t is believed they are
anarchists.
The detectives searched others in
the gang who are said to have plotted
the destruction of the cathedral and
the homes of a number of million
aires, including the Rockefellers and
Carnegie. The police received the tip
last night that the attempt would be
made this morning and they were pre-
pared for the trouble. The fuse was
extinguished before the worshippers
knew of the danger.

will apply equally to all belligerents.
The countries will be reminded of
their duty toward America in a

The president and cabinet consid-
cred the British note at length but
the contents are still subject Of
doubt, however. Premier Asquith's
statement is regarded as merely an

How it will be effected is still not de-

one or two week, from an ailment
which is puzzling, not only the own
er, but a number of others who have
made examinations of the sick and
dead animals. The cattle are being
wintered on good well cured hay. The
ones which have died seem to have
been sick only few days, and after
refusing to eat for few days We're
found dead. Post-mortum examina-
tions have been held in several cases
with the result that little has been
found dearranged in the animal sys-
