the president. He is holding hia own."
Colonel Herrlck of Cleveland, when he
left the residence at 12:30 with George Ur
ban of this city, expressed the same opin
■ ion that many others had during the
Soorning, that the president had a fighting
: chance.
Senator Hanna who was in the house
quite a long time, emerged at 12:25 p. m.
He appeared very grave.
Hope* Rainbow Is Prophetic.
"Is there any good news, senator?" he
was asked.
"Well, there is not any good news. I
can only Bey that the president has a
fighting chance. lam always hopeful.
My faith is strong. I saw a rainbow in
the sky as I came up here this morning.
I hope it is prophetic."
Senator Fairbanks and Judge Day came
out shortly after Senator Hanna departed.
They would not discuss the case beyond
saying the president was holding his own.
Senator C. M. Depew, accompanied by
his son, niece and nephew, reached the
house at 12:60. From a newspaper man
and Colonel Myron T. Herrick he obtained
information as to the president's condi
tion and then drove down town without
entering the house.
Heart Trouble Not Understood.
Toward 1 o'clock the reporters were
definitely informed that the physicians be
lieved if the president could be carried
through the night there would be hope of
his recovery. The administration of nour
ishment has been practically discontinued,
as the rectum is much irritated and does
not retain the enemas. Only a small
amount of nourishment is consequently
returned. The president is very weak,
and the heart trouble is not thoroughly
understood. It was in the belief that
Doctors Johnston and Janeway might be
of service in elucidating the exact trouble
that they were sent for. They are both
expected to-night. The president is in
constant danger of a sudden sinking syell
and complete collapse.
The bulletin Issued by Secretary Cor
telyou at 1:05 o'clock, dated 12:30 o'clock,
was not signed by the physicians.
The secretary himself explained that
the physicians did not desire to disturb
their patient's sleep to take temperature
and pulse. The bulletin officially con
firmed the statements which have cyme
from the Milburn residence that the presi
dent is holding; his own. Dr. Wasdin was
the first of the physicians to return to
the Milburn residence for the 2 o'clock
consultation.
At half-past 1 o'clock the president was
still asleep and the heart action was suffi
ciently strong to justify the doctor in not
awakening him for treatment. Up to
that hour no other treatment than saline
solution injections and a very weak dose
of digitalis had been administered.
: :
: The physicians are practically :
: agreed that the test will come :
: to-night and they are hopeful :
: that they can bring him through :
: that critical period. :
Dr. Wasdin was joined at the president's
bedside at 1:30 by Doctors Mann and
Stockton. They had not been summoned,
but had come for the usual conference.
At 2 p. m. the physicians assembled "were
notified by Secretary Cortelyou that Dr.
Mcßurney who left the city yesterday had
started back and would arrive here at
7:30 to-night. Doctors Janeway r.nd John
ston were also expected durfcn;; the even
ing.
A few minutes after 2 c'clock Dr.
Stockton, who was called in the case yes
terday, came hurriedly out of the house
and Jumped into an automobile. He said:
"I cannot talk. lamin a hurry."
He was going to Dr. Mann's office and
said he would be back very soon.
HAY ON GUARD
Secretary Remains in Washington,
According; to Arrangement.
Washington, Sept. 13.—The untoward
news from the president's bedside came
upon Washington with almost as much of
a shock as was caused by the first re
port of the murderous attack on him.
Secretary Hay was among those first
notified of the turn for the worse in the
early morning and he considered for a
moment whether or not he should hasten
to Buffalo. He declined not to do so,
but to remain on guard at the national
capitol ready to meet here any emergency
that might arise.
This decision was in line with a de
cision reached by the cabinet members in
Buffalo, when it was determined that the
secretary of state should await a summons
from his colleagues before returning to
Buffalo. Therefore the secretary came to
his office early and after puttiag himself
in communication with the White House
and thence with the Mllburn house at
Buffalo, sat vigorously scanning the bul
letins that came in and awaiting any call
that might be made upon him. He looked
worn and nervous and anxious to the last
degree, but maintained his usual calm de
meanor and proceeded with the discharge
of his routine duties, among the first of
which was the reception «f the Chinese
minister, who called in great agitation to
express his deep concern and sympathy.
Postmaster General Smith arrived here
at 9 o'clock to-day from Buffalo. Until
early this morning he had no intimation
of the president's changed condition. He
hurried to the White House, accompanied
by Senator McComas of Maryland. After
• glancing over the dispatches received
, there, Mr. Smith announced that he
COFFEE DISEASES,
rtlnlster and Young Lady Affected.
Ministers sometimes find they suffer
from the effects of bad habits as w,ell as
. ordinary people. Rev. Mr. ■— of
Athens, N. V., had become greatly emaci
ated from coffee drinking, which produced
stomach trouble and all of the effects of
( overwork or poor nourishment.
He quit the coffee and began drinking
Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
His health began to improve and he now
weighs 161 pounds, an increase of fifteen
pounds over his former weight. This im
provement in health and strength is shown
to be due to the use of Postum Food Cof
' fee, by the fact that when he stops drink
ing Postum —as he has done for an ex
periment—he begins to lose flesh and get
back into his old condition.
A young lady who writes about the case
say* that she was formerly suffering
greatly from "those twin diseases," dys
pepsia and nervousness. "I knew that
both of the diseases had their origin
in the use of coffee, and wiile I was fully
aware of its injurious effects upon my
system, I was not willing to give it up,
for I did not know of anything to take its
place.
"Tea, I knew, was also Injurious ,and
as for cocoa, it lacked the 'snap and go'
which can alone satisfy a coffee drinker's
taste. About two years ago I purchased
my first box of Postum Food Coffee and
• quit the use of coffee. I made Postum ac
cording to directions and found I had a
drink not only equal to coffee, but far su
-1 perior to it in many ways. Since that
time I have used it constantly and find
my general health very much improved,
and the 'twin diseases' gone. I also- send
you the names of Rev. and Mrs.
of Athens, N. V., who have been greatly
helped by the use of Postum Food Coffee
in the place of ordinary coffee."
probably would leave for Buffalo on the
first train.
Noon—No official information has been
made public at the White House since the
bulletin of the physicians at 9 a. m., but
from messages received direct from Mil
burn house at Buffalo, it is learned that
the president is believed to be in a very
critical condition, though expressions of
hope are received at the same time. Those
officials at the White House, however,
who know the contents of the messages
take a very gloomy view of the situation.
SPEAKS AS A NURSE
Emma Goldman Believes the Prcsl-
dent Will Live.
Chicago, Sept. 13.—Emma Goldman views
the president's sudden relapse this morn
ing In her professional attitude as a
trained nurse not as "the queen of the
anarchists."
"I believe he will get well," she said
as she sat in a circle of reporters in her
dingy quarters in the Harrison police sta
tion annex. "Such a relapse as the presi
dent has bad is almost certain to happen
to a man of his age suffering from the in
juries he &as received."
Miss Goldman was, however, sufficiently
careful of her professional reputation to
guard her utterances with qualifying pro
visions. She added:
Of course I kcow very little about the
president's condition. I have seen only what
appeared in the papers, and I don't believe
all I see there. If I had been attending upon
him I would be better able to express an
opinion.
"Do you think the attending physicians
made a mistake in giving him solid foods
yesterday?" was asked.
"Yes, I do. Mr. MoKinley is 58 years
old, and the physicians should have taken
no chances. A young man under similar
conditions could have taken care o>f such
food as toast, but I should never have
given it to a man of Mr. McKinley's age
and debility. Of course, a nurse has to
do as the doctor directs, and yet I have
always used my own discretion in such
matters, because I believe that the nurse,
who is constantly with the patient, is bet
tor qualified to determine " what he can
stand."
"In case the president should die, would
your position be made more serious?" was
asked.
"No, I don't ace how. What have I
done?"
"Have you anything to say regarding
Saykim, the Buffalo physician arrested
yesterday as one of your alleged accom
plices?"
"He is only a professional acquaint
ance, a physician.of good standing in Buf
falo. What oan they do to him?"
HEART SPECIALIST
Dr. W. \V. Johnson of Washington
Leaves for Buffalo.
Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 13.—Dr. W. W.
Johnson, an eminent surgeon of Washing
ton, D. C, and a specialist on heart
disease, has been summoned by Secretary
George P. Cortelyou, to go to Buffalo at
once. Dr. Johnson was at his summer
home in Jamaica Island, Portsmouth har
bor, and left immediately. He is due to
arrive in Buffalo at 9:15 p. m.
Dr. Rixey also is anxious to get the
services of Dr. Edward S. Janeway of
New York city, also a specialist in eases
of heart trouble.
Pittsfield, Mass., Sept. 13.—Dr. Charles
Mc-Burney who left Buffalo yesterday aft
ernoon for Stockbridge will return to Buf
falo to-day. He was seen in Pittsfield
Just as he was taking the train for Stock
bridge this morning and said that from the
first the president's heart action had
caused the physicians some anxiety. From
the bulletin issued at 7:40 this morning,
which was the latest he had received,
Dr. M'CBurney said he should Judge that
the president's condition was very critical.
Upon reaching Stockbridge, Dr. Mc-
Burney procured the fastest horse he
could get and drove to State Line, where
he took the 10:47 train for Albany. From
Albany a special train will carry him to
Buffalo.
North Creek, Adirondack, N. V., Sept.
13.—Dr. Edward Janeway of New York i 3
at St. Huberts Inn, and has been tele
graphed for by Secretary Cortelyou. He
has started for Buffalo. .
New York, Sept. 13. —Dr. Janeway, who
has been summoned to Buffalo, is one of
the most prominent physicians in general
practice in this city. He is noted for his
skill in all diseases of the lungs and
heart. He was one of the physicians in
attendance during the illness of the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt.
THE VICE PRESIDENT
Special Train Leaves to Take Him to
Albany.
Albany, Sept. 15.—William Loeb, Jr.,
private secretary to Vice President Roose
velt, is en route to North Creek on a
special train on the Delaware & Hudson
railroad to bring the vice president to this
city. The news of the change for the
worse in the president's condition was
telegraphed to North Creek early this
morning, and a man was started for the
Tohawus club camp, where the vice pres
ident is staying.
Mr. Loeb stated the vice president would
come to this city as quickly as possible
and remain here until his presence is re
quired in Buffalo. It is expected that all
records for quick runs on the Delaware & '
Hudson will be broken by the special !
■ train, which consists of one engine and a
parlor car.
North Creek, N. V., Sept. 13.—Vice
President Roosevelt is stopping at the
Tahawus Club, twenty miles beyond reach
of telephone or telegraph. Couriers have
been sent to reach him.
• Saratoga, N. V., Sept. 13.—Messengers
vith dispatches for Vice President Roose
velt reached the Tahowas club house late
this afternoon, having ridden at top speed
| ten miles from the nearest telephone sta
tion. Mr. Roosevelt had gone hunting
early this morning with several guides.
As soon as the couriers made known their
news special parties of guides and others
plunged into the wilderness to find the
vice president.
EFFECT IN LONDON
Little Excitement on Stock Ex
change, but Americans Decline.
London. Sept. 13.—News of the presi
dent's serious condition is just getting cir
culated in London. It was at first re
cs'.vc-d with much incredulity, but as the
bulletins from Buffalo continued to accu
mulate, it began to be believed and created
the greatest solicitude.
The stock exchange opened without any
excitement of any kind. Dealers were
disinclined to trade at all. The only
transaction thus far was in Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe, at 75% to 74%. The
brokers spent the most of their time dur
ing the first half hour in watching the
tape, telephoning the news and waiting for
private cable confirmation from-New York.
Extreme doubt of the news was general,
the turn for the worse in President Mc-
Kihley's condition "being so sudden that
it was feared that possibly some colossal
stock jobbing scheme was being worked.
Shortly after the opening nominal quota
tions showed the following declines: Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul 3% points, B.
& O, Union Pacific, U. S. Steel Corporation,
Wabash debentures and Canadian Pacific
%; Wabash Preferred, Uaion Pacific pfd.,

ver and Rio Grande preferred %; M., K. &
T., L. & N. and Erie % and N. & W. %.
The proceedings of the Ecumenical
Methodist conference this morning* were
suspended for the purpose of hearing read
press telegrams concerning the condition
of President McKinley. The delegates
were visibly affected and special prayers
were offered for the preservation of the
president's life.
Among the numerous messages received
at the American embassay was another
dispatch from King Edward to Ambassa
dor Choate. It was dated Copenhagen,
and read:
I am deeply grieved that the president's
state of health has caused great anxiety. I
sincerely hope that his life may yet be spared.

true. The advices of the president's

Washington, Sept. 13.— - hatred of

four years. Soon after the inauguration
of MeKinley in 1897 Wellington indorsed
Brainerd H. Warner, jr., the son of a
wealthy real estate dealer in this city for
a consulship. A man from Western
Maryland was at the same time indorsed
by Mr. Wellington for the consulship at

for the man from western Maryland On I
July 21. 1897, the president nominated
young Warner to toe consul at Leipzig.
This was done against the earnest protest
of Wellington. \ fight was made against
the confirmation of Warner, but proved
unsuccessful.. "... ....... , ,
Eight months later friendship ceased

extreme of leaving the republican party

JUDGE TORRAKCE'S CAREER
Enrolled a* a Private and Carried a
Musket Three Year».
Judge Ell Torrance was born in Alexandria,
i Westmoreland county, Pa., May 16, 1844, the
J eldest of three brothers, all of whom served
in the union army. His father, Rev. Adam
Torrance, at the age of 62, entered the ser
vice as chaplain of the Eleventh Pennsylvania
reserves. Comrade Torrance came of sturdy
Scotch-Irish stock, noted for its patriotic de
votion, his ancestors having served in the
colonial and revolutionary wars, and _ in
every subsequent war, including that for the
preservation of the union. . 1"
Although under, military age, he was, June
26, 1861, enrolled as a private in Company A,
Ninth Pennsylvania reserves, and for almost
three - years carried a musket, participating
in all the battles in which his regiment was
engaged - except when disabled by wounds.
His regiment was among those that suffered
severe losses in battle. /'i r-V .
On May 11, 1864, he was discharged frith his
regiment at Pittsburg, Pa., by reason of expi
ration of term of service, and on July 9 fol
lowing re-entered the service as second lieu
tenant of Company X, One Hundred and
Ninety-third regiment Pennsylvania volunteer
infantry, and on Oct. 15, 1864, was transferred
to the Ninety-seventh regiment Pennsylvania
volunteer infantry and assigned to duty at
Baltimore, Md., where he had -the honor 'of
guarding the body of the martyred president
| when it lay in state at Baltimore. ;.' June 17,
; 1565, having barely reached his majority, he
! was .finally -discharged from the service by
i reason of the close of the war. v/:v7i
j Judge Torrance ; Immediately took up the
I work of preparing Tor his future profession in
life by entering the law offices of White &
Slaglo in ' Pittsburg. While a student there
he met his wife, Miss Anna McFarlane, a res
ident of Pittsburg. On the day of their mar
riage they ' turned < their faces westward lO
j seek a home among strangers and new condi
; tions. .They; went to Brookfleld.-Mo., and
| while living there Judge Torrance was ele
j vated to the bench. The family came to Min
neapolis in 1881 and at once took a prominent
position socially and in church circles, while
Judge Torrance soon became a leader in hia
profession 1' and in "■ patriotic organizations,
which about that time began 'to assume an
important position. , .
While' he is in ■ hearty sympathy with all
patriotic f organizations, being a , member of
the I;Society;? of the Colonial Wars,'\of; the
Loyal Legion and of the Son* of the American
i Revolution, nevertheless, his first - love '•, and
duty has always been to the Grand Army of
the Republic, of which organization he has
long teen an earnest, faithful, efficient and
valuable member. The following ie a fcrief
outline of hi 3G. A. R. record:
Charter member of John A. Rawlins post,
No. 136, depaxtme-nt of Minnesota.
Judge advocate, department of Minnesota,
1889.
Commander of John A. Rawlins post, 1890.
Judge advocate, department of Minnesota,
1894.
Commander department of Minnesota, 1895.
Judge advocate general to Commander-in-
Chief Gobin, 1897-8.
Judge advocate general to James A. Sex
ton and W. C. Johnson, 1898-9.
Judg« advocate general to Commander-in-
Chief Albert D. Shaw, 1899-1900.
He has also served as a member of the
national council of administration and on im
portant committees of the national encamp
ments.
His selection for the office of judge advocate
general by so many able commanders-in
chief was an unusual but deserved tribute to
his ability and fitness for that responsible
position.
Doubtless no one, not even the national or
ganization itself, has manifested a deeper in
ttrest in preserving the history of the O. A.
R. than Comrade Torrance.
For years past, and with great patience and
industry, he has been collecting the journals
or published proceedings of the various de
partment and national encampments, and now
has one of the most complete and valuable
records of the Grand Army of the Republic
ii. existence.
Judge Torrance's candidacy for the high
h(.nor of serving as commander-in-chlef of
the G. A. R. dates from March 5, 1901, when
a resolution was passed by the John A. Raw
lin& post presenting., him as its choice for the
position. Following this the state encamp
ment indorsed his candidacy and instructed
its delegates to the national encampment to
use all honorable means to secure his elec
tion.
Neither Judge Torranc* nor his friends
anticipated until within a very short time
that success would crown their effortß this
year and it is a great source of gratification
that the honor should come to the state,
the post and the man In the way it did. In
reaching this goal, Judge Torrance feels
that he has received the greatest honor that
the organization or life could hold for him
and his friends regard the selection In the
same light. *
Mrs. Torrance and Ell, Jr., are at tha en
campment with Judge Torrance. Of his other
children Mrs. Douglass Fisk lives in Min
reapolis; Murtough is a dentist in Germany;
Graham Is a lawyer in St. Paul, and Miss
Hester lives with her parents. . Mrs. Tor
rance has always taken an active interest in
patriotic organizations and has tetn regent
of the Minnesota chapter, D. A. R,, and also
state regert.
FRIENDS ARE DELIGHTED
Mtnneapolitana Express Pleasure
Over Tovrance's Selection.
Congressmen F. C. Stevens of St. Paul,
James A. Tawney of Winona and Loren
Fletcher of Minneapolis, all expressed
their hearty approval when Informed by
The Journal to-day that Judge EU
Torrance of Minneapolis had been elected
commander-ln-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic at Cleveland. No better
man, they united in saying, could have
been selected to lead the Grand Army on
to its p<»aeeful conquests. They regarded
It a compliment to Minnesota that one of
her sons had been selected for the high
honor and a tribute to the patriotism and
genuine Americanism of this common
wealth.
C S. Cairns thought the honor should
be all the more appreciated because it was
the second time that a man from Minne
apolis bad been elected commander-in
chlef.

INCLINATION TO
LYNCH ANARCHS
The Chicago Judge Who Is to Hear the Cases
Will Hold Court in Another Than
Usual Building.
This Was Deemed Prudent in View of a Popu-
lar Determination to Deal Summarily
With Suspects.
Chicago, Sept. 13.—Because of threats of
lynching the prisoners, made by angry cit
izens on the streets this morning. Judge
Chetlain decided to hear the cases of the
anarchists in the criminal court building
instead of in the county building. The
county building is in the down-town dis
trict where bulletins telling of the presi
dent's condition are liberally posted.
The anarchists are locked up in the jail
just to the rear of the criminal court
building, the two being connected by a
covered courtway. It is five blocks from
this to the building where Judge Chetlain
usually sits.
Sheriff Hagerstadt moved among the an
gry crowds this morning and heard threats
of lynching freely made. Fearing that
an attack might be made in bringing the
prisoners down town, he went to the judge
and requested .him to make the change.
He told Judge Chetlain the crowds were
angry and that every bulletin from the
president's bedside made them more
threatening.
"The anger of the crowd Is Justifiable,"
said Chfef of Police O'Neill. "I feel with
them, but there will be no lynching in
Chicago. It will toe impossible. The
sheriff's precautions are wise. It has
been a long time since I have seen a crowd
as angry as this one was."
The Heurinj* Open*.
Hearing on the writ of habeas corpus
issued Wednesday for the release of the
anarchists under arrest here was held be
fore Judge Chetlain in the criminal court
at 11:40 a. m. Judge Chetlain arrived
at 11:30 a. m. and a few minutes later
the nine prisoners, charged with con
spiracy to kill the president, were led in
and given seats behind a row of bailiffs.
Sheriff Magerstadt was present in person.
Throughout the room were deputy sheriffs
and detectives in olain clothes, the sher
iff having determined to take every pos
sible precaution against trouble.
The writ of habeas corpus having been
complied with by the production of the
nine prisoners in court, counsel then
made returns in' behalf of the sheriff, the
chief-of-police, and Justice Prindiville,
who, according to the petitions, had the
prisoners under restraint illegally. The
prisoners were Abraham Isaak, Abraham
Isaak, Jr., Clemens Pfuelzener, Hippolyte
Havel, Henry Traveglio, Michael Rose,
Martin Rosenick and Morris J. Fox.
Emma Goldman was not present, but
Justice Prindiville had promised to fol
low whatever decision was made by Judge
Chetlain.
Asks Release of Clients.
Leopold Saltlel, representing the prison
ers, opened the argument, asking for the
release of his clients on the grounds that
they were being held without legal rea
son. He claimed, in an excited voice,
that all the papers In the case were in
sufficient, and had been issued under false
pretense.
Judge Chatlain interrupted to say it
appeared to him that the case was still
a matter for Justice Prindiville to settle.
The case, he said, was still pending be
fore the magistrate, who had agreed to
hear it Sept. 19.
Mr. Saltiel thereupon launched into a
lengthy discourse to show that the upper
court had jurisdiction. Not a scintilla
of evidence, he said, had been produced to
show that the prisoners .were guilty of
"conspiring to murder the president," as
charged In the complaint.
John E. Getting, as counsel for the pris
oners, followed Mr. Saltiel. When Judge
, Geeting ceased speaking, Dr. Taylor, for
the city, said the only question was the
jurisdiction of Justice Prindiville. Hia
argument was technical, tending to up
hold the authority of the lower court and
the legality of the official acts of Magis
trate Prindiville.
The case was postponed until 10 o'clock
to-morrow, morning, no decision being
given on any of the points raised.
"BIG JIM" PARKER
Something About the Nefro who
Leaped on the Assassin.
Buffalo, Sept. 13. —James Benjamin Par
ker, or "Big Jim" Parker, as he is gen
erally called, the negro who jumped on
the president's assailant and would have
killed him had he not been pulled off, has
been a lion ever since. He has sold the
buttons off his coat and waistcoat for
Bums ranging from $5 to $20 apiece, and
finally parted with all the clothing he wore
during the struggle to visitors who wanted
them as souvenirs.
It wa3 not until Saturday afternoon,
when he had nothing else left, that he had
time to get his photograph taken. These
went off like hot cakes on Saturday night,
and the photographer expecta to work his

When "Big Jim" came around to the
Buffalo club Monday afternoon to see
Senator Hanna, in response to a special
invitation, he was resplendent with new
raiment and his pockets were lined with
greenbacks and jingling with coins.
Senator Hanna came forward with out
stretched hand and shook hands warmly
with the negro. He made him a little
speech, in which he told Parker how brave
he was and thanked him for his loyalty
to the president and for his promptness
in springing to his assistance.
The senator asked the negro to tell him
just what happened, and Parker in his re
cital left out much of the trimming with
which he had embellished his story to
hero-worshiping Pan-American visitors.
"And if they had not ha' pulled me off
I'd ha' saved the police and the soldiers
and everybody else a mighty sight of
trouble." was Parker's last remark as the
interview closed. Senator Hanna's eyes
twinkled, but he made no comment.
BOMB MATERIAL
Fifty Feet of Fuse Found in an An.
arohiNt's Honae.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 13.—1n a frame
building on Broadway, the Cleveland de
tectives have discovered evidence which,
while not tending to prove the existence
of an anarchist plot against President Mc-
Kinley, will at least serve to hold the
men who were arrested in Chicago.
As soon as information was received
here of the arrest of Edward Wolclzynskl
of this city in Chicago, Sergeant Doran
and Detective Schmunk were detailed to
search the house in which he lived at Xo.
1870 Broadway. They found stored away
on top of a cupboard fifty feet of fuse,
such as is ordinarily used in the manu
facture of dynamite bombs. The informa
tion was at once telegraphed to the Chi
cago authorities. Wolcizynski, while in
this city, was employed as a writer on a
Polish newspaper known as the Star.
HE ORGANIZED ANARCHISTS
< zolgOHz Did a Great Deal of Talking
in Pennsylvania.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 13.—1t was
learned here to-day that Leon Czolgoiz
made a tour of the anthracite coal regions
I about six years ago. He was employed
for a while by the Lackawanna Coal com
pany at Duryea, this county, and while
there is said to have organized a lodge of
anarchists. He could speak several lan
guages and soon became popular with the
foreign element. He was known then as
Fred Neimen. People who at that time
came in contact with Czolgosz say he was
seeking notoriety, and whenever the an
archists met he insisted on doing all the
talking. His theory was that the condi
tion of the working people in this country
would never be improved until the doc
trines' advocated by the anarchists were
put into practice.
CZOLGOSZ'S GUARD
It Will Be Increased in View of Pos-
Kible Attempt to Lynch.
Buffalo, Sept. 13.—Owing to the critical
condition of President McKinley the guard
of the prisoner at police headquarters,
which had been reduced gradually with
favorable news from the president's bed
side, will immediately be restored to its
original proportions.
This step was decided upon at noon
after a conference of the police commis
sioners and Superintendent Bull. Com
missioners Rupp and Cooper both were
present. It can be said that Czolgosz will
be protected from any mob which may as
semble. No chances whatever will be
be taken. Force will be used to disperse
any crowd which may gather.
WOILD KILL. ROOSEVELT
New Hampshire Man That Doesn't
Read the Papers.
Berlin, N. H., Sept. 13.—Upon learning
that a man who had left here this morn
ing for New York had declared that he
was on his way to Washington to kill
Vice President Roosevelt, Chief-of-Police
Youngellss has telegraphed tha chief-of
police of New York to look out for h m.
The man was a foreigner. He tried to
buy a ticket to Washington, but could
not do so, and bought one for New York.
Light Ball for Most.
New York, Sept. 13.—Johan Most, arrested
last night on the charge of circulating lnc«n
diary literature, was arraigned in the police
court to-day. At the prisoner's request his
examination was set for Monday, Sept. li>
The assistant district attorney asked that
Most be held in $2,500 ball, but the magistrate
said the prisoner was charged only with a
misdemeanor, and fixed the bail at $l,oou.
Most was locked up in default of ball,
