ANARCHISTS ARE
UNDER FEDERAL
INVESTIGATION

Chicago, Feb. 17.--An anarchist
plot, extending from San Francisco
TO New York, and aimed against the
government, is under federal inyesti-
cation. authorities admitted today.
Only word from Attorney General
Gregory is awaited. 1t is understood.
before government officials make
raids on anarchist groups In San
francisco, Chicago, New York and
Pittsburg, where plotters are report
ed to have arranged to terrorize off,
cials and damage federal buildings.
Evidence OF this alleged plan Of
terrorism is said to have been pro-
duced today In a conference between
United States District Attorney Clyne
and Justice Department Agent
Clabaugh from facts CLEANED In con-
|nection with the alleged poison ban
quet" plot OF Jean Crones.
The national scope of the plot is
admitted. Hatched in New York, the
conspiracy was financed by blackmail,
levied against financiers in many
parts of the country. Authorities be-
lieve they can get further documen-
tary evidence from the hands OF at
least dozen well known anarchist
leaders.
With one swoop We can break up
the conspiracy" an official said, "and
we are now merely awaiting word
from Washington before going ahead.
Plans Of government buildings in the
possession Of some OF Crones' asso-
ciates gave US the first clue to the
situation and our later discoveries
have borne out the original clue"
It is stated that the conspiracy
statute invoked against the late Gem
eral Huerta would be used. along
with the blackmail laws to punish the
alleged conspirators.
The presumably incendiary fire al
the city hall yesterday is regarded as
one phase Of the situation.
