ANARCHY A MENACE
Widespread Existence In United
States is Astounding.
ALARM FELT IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES
Thousands of Suspocts on Govern
ment Lists Details of Discov-
eries Kept Secret.
Washington, April 11. Aa a result
of the work of tbo government, recently
undortaken for tlio stamping ont of an
archy and anarchists in the United
St.Ucs, it leaked out today that govern
ment officials are absolutely astounded
at the widespread growth of anarchy in
this country. Groups of anarchists
have been discovered in almost every
stato in the Union and in most unex
pected plaoes. Detailed information
concerning their location and numbers
was refused by high officials today, but
it is known that steps are now boing
taken by tho government to get ac
quainted with tho various groups and
.their individual members, and that the
Reds will be kept under strictest sur
veillance hereafter.
The clue to the location of the anar
chists is Raid to have been furnished by
a list containing the names of several
thousands which recently fell into tbe
hands of the government. Tracing
down the list, it has been found that
for every name on it there are several
anarchists, ranging from two or three
to a group of 10 or 20, or even more,
living m tbe same town.
Accoidiug to the local police, extra
men have been aesigned to the neigh
borhood in which Postmaster General
Meyer lives, and that official was ac
companied by plain clothes men when
he went to Boston to preside ever the
Republican convention today.
RUSSIA TO STATE POSITION'
CONDITION WORRIES DOCTORS.
and
Admiral Evans Very Sick Man
Recovery Will Be Slow.
Pnso Robles, Cal., April 10. Mrs.
Robley D. Evans and hor daughter,
Mrs. Charlotte 0. Marsh, arrived hero
shortl v after 6 o'clock yesterday after
noou and joined Roar Admral Evans at
the hot springs. Their coming oheered
him greatly, and, it is believed, will
hae a good e fleet.
Whllo his rhoumastlBm has almost
difappeated as a result of tho treatment
at tho hot springs and his normal con
dition has improved greatly and ho lins
regained considerable strength, Dr.
McDonald and L. E. Phillips, tho phy
sican at the hot springs, admitted this
morning that there wero other compli
cations which retard his rapid recovery
and will make permanent improvement
very slow.
Lieutenant Erans' departure'for Los
Angeles to accompany his mother here
was no doubt largely for tho purpose of
preparing her for the great change in
her husband.
That she would bo greatly shocked
when she saw him was admitted. But
a more shadow of his former self, his
pale, drawn face furrowed with many
deep lines, his thin, emaciated body,
his knees and ankles so enlarged and
deformed as to bo very noticeable
through his clothes, there is not much
resemblance in the physical appearance
to that of the man who stood on tho
bridge of the Connecticut, leading his
great fleet out of Hampton Boads, less
than four months ago. He then
weighed 175 pounds, now he weighs
barely 120.
GRAVE PERIL IN ANARCHY.
Will Reassert Attitude Set Forth by
Baron Rosen.
St. Petersburg, April 11. It is the
purpose of the Russian government
shortly to iesue a statement in the mat
ter of the question of territorial- ad
ministration that has arisen at Harbin
and Chailar. It is understood that !
this announcement will reassert the at
titude set fcrth recently in Washing
ton by Bar m Rosen, the Russian am
bassador there. This entire question
was brought to tbe front about three
weeks ago by the refusal of F. D.
Fisher, tbe American consul at Harbin,
to recognize Russian jurisdiction and
his insistence that he was accredited
solely to China.
The Novoe Vremya today publishes a
j! .-u tt 1 .1 : 1 1 . 1.
uiapaiuii iruiu xiaruiu ueuuiuig lira
progress of tbe conflict and saying that
the antagonism between Ruesian and
China Is growing steadily. China-opposes
all Russian administrative estab
lishment in Manchuria on the ground
that the railroad concession carries
with it only the rights of a common
carrier and does not imply government
functions.
DRAFT CODE OF PROCEDURE
Powers Will Move to Establish Inter
national Prize Court.
Washington, April 11. Great Brit
ain has invited the governments which
participated in the last Hague confer
ence to send experts to London whose
duties shall be to formulate a code of
procedure for the proposed internation
al prize court, the establishment of
which is provided for in each of tho
treaties resulting from the conference.
Tbe American government will be
represented at the London conference.
This conference is regarded as inform
al in character, and the participation of
the Uniled StateB will require no legis
lation, except, perhaps, a small appro
priation to meet the expenses of the
American representatives. The date
for the conference has not been fixed.
It is ftated here that the ratification of
the treaty providing for this court will
doubtless be delayed by the nations un
til after the report of this body.
Japs Manufacturing Flags.
San Francisco, April 11. That the
Japanese intend to profit in more ways
than one through the visit of the At
lantic fleet became known today when
it was reported that a Tokio firm had
manufactured thousands of American
flags and shipped them here in antici
pation of a great demand for patriotic
emblems when the armada arrives here.
The information came in a letter from
an American in Tokio. The writer
states that the quantity ia so great that
it took up all the cargo space on the
vessel.
Great Northern Is Fined.
Minneapolis, Aril 11. Counsel for
the Great Northern railroad pleaded
guilty today in the Federal court to tho
charge of rebating brought against the
company, and Judge Morris imposed
a fine of $3,000. The case was brought
in November, 1006, but was not tried,
as tbo Great Northern had appealed a
similar caeo. Judge MorriB tried tbe
case which was appealed, and in that
case had imposed a fine of 16,000.
'The Supreme court sustained his action.
Protests Against Quarantine.
Havana, April 11. Governor Gene
ral Magoon sent an earnest protest to
Washington today against the quaran
tine against Cuba. His message is
supported by reports from Amecircan
officials throughout the island denying
that lever exists anywhere.
President Sends Vigorous Message to
Both Houses of Congress.
Washington, April 10. In one of the
shortest messages which he has yet
transmitted to congress, President
Roosevelt yesterday called tho attention
of that body to tho necessity for further
legislation on the subject ol anarchy.
With the message he transmitted a re
port reviewing the legal phases of the
question by Attorney General Bona
parte. The message of the president is
as follows:
"To thj Eenate and house of repre
sentatives: "I herewith Bubmit a letter from tho
department of justice which exlains
itself. Under this opinion I hold that
existing statutes give the president
power to prohibit the postmaster gene
ral from being used an an instrument
in the commission of crime, tbat 1b. to
prohibit the use of the mails for the
ndvocacr of murder, arson and treaeon,
and"! shall act upen such construction.
"Unquestionably, however, there
should be further legielation by con
gress in this matter. When compared
with the suppression of anarchy, every
other question sinks into insignificance.
The anarchist ia tbe enemy of human
ity, the enemy of ail mankind, and his
is a deeper degree of criminality than
any other. No immigrant is allowed
to ccme to our shores if he is an anar
chist: and no naDer nublished here or
abroad Bhould be permitted n this
country if it propagates anarchist opin
ions. THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
THE LIABILITY LAW.
Provlsious lof Measure Just Passed
by BothJHouses.
Washington. April 10.--As passed
by both houses of congress, the liabil
ity bill ia expected to meet the objec
tions of the United States Supreme
court to the common carrier liability
lsw of 1896, decided to be unconstitu
tional by the court. The bill abolishes
the strict common law liability, which
bar's a recovery for personal injury or
death of an employe occasioned by the
negligence of a fellow servant. It also
relaxes the common law rule which
makei contributory negligence a defense
to claims for such injuries, and per
mits an employe to recover for an in
jury caused by negligence of a co
employe. The bill does not bar recov
ery, even though the injured one con
tributed by his own negligence to the
injury. Tbe amount of the recovery is
diminished in the fame degree with
the negligence of the injured to tho injury.
Decide Not to Build Here.
Portland, April 10. That the pack
ing firm cf Schwartzschlid & Sulzberger
has given up all intention of building a
plant at Portland since being refused
the privilege of bnilding on the Zim
merman site, in South Portland, is the
statement of J. S. Heisey, Pacific coast
manager for the company, who has junt
returned from New York, where he
conferred with the heads of the com
pany in regard to the matter. Mr.
HeiBey returned here to settle up some
affairs that were pending. The S. &. S
people will locate at some other city.
Burn Railroad Property.
Rio Janeiro, April 10. Serious riot
ing broke out yesterday in the city of
Campos, and troops were sent in today
to restore order. The Leopold railroad
has "maintained exorbitant rates on
freight in and out of Campos. This
aroused the indignation of the people
and last evening they descended upon
the railroad property and ee fire to two
stations, 30 cars and several ware
houses. The railroad bridge over tbe
Parahiba river was destroyed.
Glass Too III for Trial.
San Francisco, April 10. When tho
bribery charge against Louis Glass, of
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany, was called in Judge Lawlor'a
court this morning, his attorneys stated
tbat the defendant was very ill and
asked for a contlnuanco of two weeks,
Assistant District Attorney O'Gara was
made no objections. Judge Lawlor set
the matter for May 18, I

INSPECTOR'DOES THE WORK
Owner of Orchard Must Pay fc-r the
Spraying, However.
Salem County Fruit Inspector E.
O. Armstrong has begun a new phase
of war upon San Jose tcalo by hiring a
gang of men to go into the orchard of
Rev. F. M. George, near Liberty, and
spray the trees. Heretofore enforce
ment of the law has consisted of chop
ping down diseased trees, but that
course is pursued only in the case of
trees tbat have been rendered valueless
by disease and neglect. The Georgo
orchard is one of the most valuable in
tho vicinity of Liberty, but has become
infested with scale. Mr. George spray
ed 10 acres, but left 20 acres unsprayed.
Mr. Armstrong will havo it sprayed
and charge the cost to the owner.
When the work in this orchard is com
pleted Mr. Armstrong will put tho
gang at work in other orchards in tho
vicinity.

New York, 'April 8. The Great

United Slates District Attorney Stlrn
eon called tho court's attention to the
fact that there had been no attempted
concealment of the alleged crime upon
the part of the defendant.
"There is no element of concealment
in this case," snld Mr. Htirnson, "and
tho court will recall that in the care of
the Now York Central, convicted for
the saino offense, there was an elabor
ate system of bookkeeping which
concealed tho payment of rebates, and
the giving of tho rehato money was
kept off the regular books of the com
pany. Thero is nothing of that kind, I
am glad to say, in this caso."
