Warnings Given Of Plans OF Leaders
Made at Meetings Held Near

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Governmen secret service
officials here were warned three
months ago Of q nationwide conspir-
acy. against the church and the ma
plots last August at secret meetings
in Salida, Colo. Included in the pro-
posed reign of terror was the destruc-
ton Of Denver's 81, 500 900 marble fed
eral building just completed. This
fact became known through an official
source. Dissension split leaders who
worked in the stone quarries and
shelters near Salida last summer.
Letters from one of the dissenting
conspirators to Washington and to
Denver operatives Of the United States
secret service barred the plot.
Desire for revenge against the 9TH
ers caused the writer to disclose to
the government officials some Of the
plans of the organization which in.
tended to disrupt the church and the
government at any cost"
Following a careful investigation by
Roy o. Samson, special agent here for
the government bureau Of investiga-
ton, it was decided that the informa-
ton was the work of q crank.
Three weeks ago a third letter from
the dissatisfied conspirator reached
Washington. Immediately the. search
for the plotters was renewed by the
Denver officials. 49,.
The last letter received disclosed
the fact that Chicago would witness
the first outrage against the church
and that the anti-government plot
would be fomented in Denver with the
wrecking of the new federal building.
Further investigation by the local
officials OF the United States secret
service revealed the former meeting
place of the anarchists, in an aban-
doned stone quarry near Salida.
The first blow of the anti-church at
tack fell in Chicago, as predicted by
the informer, whose name is being
withheld. More than 100 guests were
poisoned in soup served at the ban
quet to Archbishop Mundelein.
