PLOT TO KILL ALL
EUROPEAN RULERS
Investigation of the Crones
Case Reveals Gigantic
Plan
ANARCHIST sQUEALs
Gear and Kaiser Head List-Lots
Drawn for the Purpose of Picking
The Assassins.

Chicago, April Subsistence Of an
international anarchistic plot to as
sassinate all rulers of Europe has
been discovered here, according to a
formal statement issued by Maclay
Hoyne, States Attorney of Cook
county.
The alleged plot was unearthened
by the States Attorneys men while
investigating the activities Of Jean
Crones, suspected poisoner Of the
guests at the banquet in honor of
Archbishop Mundelein in February.
The States Attorney said that a
list Of the proposed assassinations
was headed by the Car of Russia
and that Emperor William was second
on the list.
According to the information which
reached the States Attorney, the plot
was known to anarchists in various
cities in America, as well as in Eu-
rope. One man from each city was
believed to have been delegated to
the work OF assassination.
Mr.. Hoyne said that written state
ment had been made to him by an
anarchist barring the details Of the al
legged plot.
Officials said the headquarters Of
the band Of conspirators was in. the
district and that there
We're branches in other cities. Accord
ing to Mr. Hoyne's information, the
Mundelein banquet poisoning was
planned by the group which sought
the death of the European rulers.
The States Attorney refused to d.
vulge the identity of the man VINO re-
vealed the alleged plot and said that
his Investigators are seeking to con-
firm the statements.
"This man said that secret meet
ings have been held in Chicago and
n number of other Cities said Mr..
Hoyne. "He said he attended meet
ing in this city at which lots were
drawn for the purpose of picking the
assassin, and that the meetings were
so guarded that only the man chosen
for the crime and the leader of the
individual group knew the particular
ruler singled out.
The assasins. were to use poison,
according to the Prosecutors infor-
nation Bombs were not be used un-
less it was absolutely necessary.
Mr.. Hoyne said he was told.
The anarchist who supplied the in
formation is not under arrest, but
the States Attorney said he could
easily reach him whenever he wanted
him.
The information given to the State
Attorney is expected to be turned
over to Federal authorities. j F:
The Prosecutor said his informant
intimated that secret meetings .had
been held in New York at about the
time of the Chicago meeting.

HUNDREDS WALKING
Passengers. on Electric Trains From
Alexandria Reach Twelfth Street
Station Washington on Time

Hundreds 6f persons walked through
the slush on the Virginia hills ano
roads to Georgetown this morning
because of lack of car service or sym
pathy with the striking car men OF
the Virginia lines.
Men and women, coming to Wash
ington to work from points in Fair
fax and Loudoun counties came in
every conceivable kind of convey
ance that could be pressed into SER
vice.
Hayricks, farm wagons, and mo-
tor trucks were pressed into pass
enger service.
They were all loaded before they
reached the Aqueduct bridge.
Conditions on the lines from low
er Virginia Of the Washington-Vir-
ginia Company, where service is be-
ing. maintained, were not so bad, pa
irons reaching the 18th street
terminal o ntime.
Traffic on the Washington and Old

as far as Bluemont in Londoun coun-
ty, still is tied up.
But one train is moving on the

the washington--vifginia Company
occurred last night. Company officials
declare that the rails on a steep grade
at. the Nauck termlaat were CREASED,
and that this caused the wreck. The
alleged track greasing is believed to
be the, work ?of sympathizers rather
than the strikers.
,,At Nauck, south of Arlington, the
line, ends on a steep grade. A car go
ing down to the terminal was unable
to stop and ran off the rails andsdown
n bank. AZ second car was sent out
to pull. the first back to the tracks.
