urchlim.
WASHINGTON, Dec. C Senator
McComas of Maryland mado nn extend
ed and carefully prepared speech in the
senate with annrchy for his theme nnd
wns followed by somo brief remarks
by Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts on tho
dlfllcultles In tho wny of dealing with
nnnrchlBt nssasslns. Mr. McComns re
marks showed careful examination of
tho legal authorities.
Ho maintained thut cotiKrcss had
full powor undor tho constitution to
enact a law punishing with death nny
person killing n president or assault
Ing tho president with Intent to kill,
or aiding, Inciting or procuring such
an act. Ho favored rlKld provisions
In tho immigration laws for tho de
portation of alien nnnrchlstH. Much
of tho speech was. devoted to an ex
planation of tho dangerous doctrines
of annrchy and tho extent to which
these doctrines had been propagated
within recent yearn.
Senator Hoar's romarks wero Inter
esting nu coming from the venerable
chairman of tho Judiciary committee,
which will havo much to do with the
framing of nny legislation on this sub
cct. Ho said the dlfllculty was that
assassins of kings nnd rulers nlwnyB
gloried In their crimes and were In
nowlso deterred by the fenr of punish
ment. For this reason he thought It
was almost useless to multiply punish
ments. The most effective remedy, ho
BUggeatcd, would bo to have tho civil
ized nations of tho world ngreo upon
somo dcaolnto spot on tho earth's sur
face, to which all anarchists who up
held nsaasslnutlon or tho overthrow of
government nhould bo transported.
In such a community tho anarchist
could carry out JiIb theories of living
without a government nnd tho world
would bo rid of his presence.
Senator icComns said:
"Within sovon years Minister Car-
not, Prime Minister Cnnovnn del Cas
tllleo. tho empress of Austria, King
Humbert and President McKlnlcy havo
been foully assassinated by nnarchlsts.
Our liomca nro BtUl undor tho shadow
of national grief for our best beloved
president nnd tho heart of tho world
Is with us in our sorrow. It Is humill
ntlng to consider how Impotent nro
our federal lawa to punish this fear
ful crime.
"These tragic naansBlnatlons In dif
ferent eountrlcB, widely Buimrnicd. in
so short n tlmo, show that this hideous
crlmo of annrchy is Increasing. To
nbnormnl minds, possessed with tho
Impulse to homicide, envy nnd vnnlty
glvo n peculiar fascination to tho Idea
of tho assassination of a king or n
president.
"Congress must loglslato nualnBt this
now peril with courngo, with firmness,
but also with conservatism nnd nru-
donee. Tho constitution .permits con
gress to onnct a law to punish such
Crimea against tho very existence of
tho government the constitution or
