.Mr. Penney had conferences with tho
nllcnlHtH ond with City Chomlst Herbert M.
lllll. who submitted his report upon an
examination of tho bullets and revolver.
Immediately after tho death of tho presi
dent ono of the stun of physicians In at
tendance on tho president expressed the
opinion thnt the bullets may havn been
poisoned. District Attorney Penney, who
had possession of the assassin' rovolvor,
ordered cartful and thorough examinations
made Dr. lllll wan directed to ninko a
chemical examination of the bullets and
the chambers mid burro! of the revolver
mill Dr. Herman O. Mntztnger, one of tho
surgcona who porformcd tho autopsy upon
tho president's body, was ordered to make
a bncterlologlrnl examination. This after
noon Dr. Hill reported to the district at
torney t liul bin work showed that no poison
had been used.
.No PoIdoii I'll 11 nil.
He alco presented a written report, but It
will not bo used on tho troll, as that ques
tion Is now eliminated from tho cone. Dr.
Matzlngcr has finished bis bacteriological
examination nud his work also revealed the
absence of any poison. The district attor
ney has been Informed to that effect, al
though tho formal report has not been sub
mitted. Authorities on this auostlon state
that tho two examinations form a com
plete teat and that tho slightest trace of
poison would huvo been revealed.
Dr. McDonald and Dr. Heard, alienists for
tho defense, called upon District Attorney
Penney shortly before 3 o'clock this aft
ernoon and romalned with him until .1:15.
when they wore escorted to tho Jail by De
tective Kolomon. Tho Insanity exports went
Into Colgosz's cell, In murderers' row.
nnd were locked up with him until 4:05
o'clock, when they returned to the cltv
hall and held another conference with the
district attorney. Fifteen minutes later.
Ur James W. Putnam, a local alienist, ap
peared nnd Joined thn conference. Although
great secrecy was maintained nt tho dis
trict attorney's ol'.lce. It was lenrned that
Ur Allen MoUino Hamilton, ono nf the
most able alienists In the United States,
nnd who wns an expert witness in tile
Guttcau case, was In Buffalo.
A nnhnkI ii In .Not In mi nr.
Not a doubt of Czolgosz's sanity exists In
tho mind of District Attorney Penney, so
that It 1 presumed that Ur. Hamilton Is
hern merely to meet tho question of In
timity should too defense bo determined to
make a flr.hl on that ground. Although the
defense declines to mnko any definite state-1
liient on the subject, ponding tho final opin
ion of Ur. .McDonald, It Is tho concensus nf
opinion among those Interested In thu case
that no Insanity plea will bn Interposed by
Judges howls i nd Titus. Tho district at
torney Is already fortified with the opinion
nf Ur Joseph fowler. Ur. James W. Put
nam nnd Ur. Floyd Grego, lluffalo alienists
of some note, that OzolgoBZ Is perfectly
i-ane.
Thn ronforenro between tho doctors. Dis

In the .irosecutlon, lasted until fi:30. At
Its clout Dr. McDonald said to an AkhocImoiI
Press representative: "I cannot say a word

ment Preparations have been made to
necommodatn over fifty nowspaper men and
the courtroom Is so Binall that It Is feared
not more than 100 spectators can secure

admitted, after which the doors will be
closed and the city hall cleaied of all ex
cept those having business with the city

nnd thn elevators will not stop at the sec

cated When the prisoner reaches tho city
hall end of the tunnel from the Jail he will
bo surrounded by n guard of policemen and
the stnlrwnTs and corridors lending to the
courtroom will bo entirely clenred to pre
vent nny possible demonstration against

tloim made todHy by Police l..to-tle
Schmunk, reveal the startling possibility
that a plot to ussnssltiKte President Mc
Klnlcy was laid a your or more ngo before
bo was nlectcd for his second term and
that It may have been lnld In tho peaceful
precincts of Orange township, where the
Czolgosz family lived. A remittance made
to tho assassin by his brother, Wnldcck
Czolgosz, about n month ngo, led to '.he
Investigation thnt may havo an Important
lien r I in; on the case.
From tho tlrst, tho lluffalo police and the
secret agents of tho federal government
have been strong In their belief that there
was a plot, ulthougli tho Cleveland police
huvo been Inclined to doubt the theo:-.
Ono of tho strong elements In the belief
of tho Huffnlo nnd secret service detectives
has boon the fact that the handkerchief,
with which the assassin concealed tho hand
In which ho held his weapon, was a
woman's handkerchief. What Is more Im
portant Is that tho handkerchief wns tied
nbout tho bund In h way thnt be would not
bo iihln to do himself, no matter how skill
ful he might have been with the other
hand or how much time be might havo
taken to tie It. Tho fact that C'zolgosz
hail money, Impelled tho detectives to try
to lenrn where he got It. Today, bin
brother Woldeek confessed to havo sent
It to I.eon under tho niiino of Frank Sny
der at West Honrn. N. V. In his -enroll
for clues today Detective Schtnunk learned
from neighboring farmers that tho t'zol
gosz boys, l.eon nnd Wnldeck, have been
renders of socialistic papers for Hevor.il
years. John IJ. Knox, un nged farmer
who lives In the vicinity of tho former
Czolgosz farm, snld today:
"Tho two boys, tho ono that shot the
president, and W.ildeek, used to come to
my house nnd talk to mo nbout their ro
clallst papers. They brought their papers
to mo mid tried to got mo to rend them.
Once when they wero here during the last
presidential eampnlgn. they got to talking
about President MeKlnley nnd one of tli"m
said: 'If he Is elected he will bo stint be
fore he serves out his term,' and went on
'I'd serve John t). Itockefeler the snnie way
If I got n rhanco.' They talked violence
all tho tlmo nnd I was glad when they
went out of tho neighborhood.
"Almost oery night, there was n crowd
of people from tho city lit their liom.
They used to come over the farm from the
electric road so thnt we could not see them
as we would If they had como by tho road.
Tho bnck of the farm extends to the roll
roiid, and tho visitors used to go back and
forth that way Instcml of by way of tho
road. Sometimes there would be quite a
crowd of them."
It Is said that Leon's father, sister ami
brothers are going to lluffalo shortly and
the police bolleve when they confront Leon

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-Tue police of
Newton, borough of Queens, tonight ar
rested Jnhann .Most, tho anarchist, ns a
disorderly person. They suspected that he
was Intending to conduct an anarchist
nicotine In a saloon In Cnrnnn. 1.. 1. Tlinw
also arrested Christina Frlcke. who Is eald
to run the saloon, on tho charge of vio
lating tho liquor tax law nnd keeping a
disorderly house.
Later developments show that Herr Most
was gathered In whllo haranguing n crowd
of 600 people. There was a scramble fnr
the door when tho police appeared, but the
otllcets succeeded In capturing Most, ns
well ns severol men whom they claim were
prominent In gutting up the meeting. Hack
of tho saloon there is a large dance hall.
This was tho meeting place. Krom the
outside It rould be honrd that tho saloon
was doing n rushing htiluess. ns tho cash
register bell was constantly Jingling. Oc
casionally n roar of cheers rould be heard
coining from the hall.
Tho fact thai It might he nn nnarchlst
meeting was guessed at by Captain Hardy,
who had his force assembled, but it was
too late to dare to watt for more men nnd
lie determined to undertake the raid with
his force of five men. Tho raiders were
nil In plain olnthlng and entered tho saloon
without question. They wero Inside of the
dance hall nefore their presence was sus
pected. Most wns on tho stand nt tho far
end of the hall talking loudly. The police
did not attempt to net, hut Intended to
wait to hear some of tho proceedings. They
were recognized nnd tho cry of warning
was raised. Tho call caused many to make
a break for tho door3 nnd for tho windows,
causing a lively scene. Most left the pint,

n few minutes wns lost In tho crowd. Cnp
tnln Hnrdy kept his eye on tho group of

scalp wounds nnd others gavo way so that
Captain Hardy got hold of Most. All re

(From n Staff Correspondents
WASHINGTON. Sept. 22. (Special.) It
was former Attorney Oenral W. H. II.
Miller who first suggested that n mur
dorotis attack upon the president or vice
president should bo designated ns treason
punlshablo by death. When Mr. Miller ga.'o
utterance to that opinion It found echo In
every pnrt of the I'nited States and ,n n
rule was 'jnlvorsnily endorsed. It wns prob
ably the pneslon of tho moment tho horror
which the news of Czolgosz's crime created
which led Mr. Miller to forget that the
constitution, which Is the supreme law nf
the land, Is nn Insuperable bar against such
legislation.
Section 3 of article lit of the fundamental
law says clearly: "Treason against tho
United States hnll consist only In levying
war against them or In adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
This clause of the constitution makes It
Impossible for congress to define n crime
such ns that of which Czolgosz was guilty
ns treason and some other way must bo
found to punish such helnoua crimes. Con
gress enn, however, ennct a law which will
aeparatc and segregate tho men who arc
choson for tho highest positions in tho re
public from the rest of the people. It Is
clearly within the power of the law-making
body to enact laws which will make n
murderous nssnult upon the ptesldeut, the
vice president, n member of the cabinet
or a Justice of tho supreme court a capi
tal offeiite, punishable by tho Infliction of
the supreme pcnnlty. And It Is to this end
that somo of tho ablest among tho national
legislators aro at this tlmo directing their
attention. Legislation in the lino referred
to Is rertnln to be Initiated early In tho
coming session of congress nnd It Is almost
equally certain that the efforts of those
who nro thus engaged will bo productive of
results.
Amircbl! a llnvc n Shield.
Hut whllo little dlfflculty Is anticipated 'n
securing Inws to adequately puulsh an as
sault, with deadly Intent, upon tho presi
dent. It will be by no means easy to com
ply with the widespread demand for a law
which shall abridge the rights of tho
Mosts, tho Isnaks nnd the Goldmaus to
contlnuo their anarchistic propaganda. Tho
first nirondnient to tho constitution says:
"Congress shall make no laws
abridging tho freedom of speech or of the
press." It Is hold that In this constitu
tional provision oven nn nnarchlst must
be protected In his right to fulminate his
doctrines of murder and nrsnn. Congress
cannot curtail these rights nnd enn only
punish nn overt net.
On tho other hnnd tome excellent lnw
yets hold that the Incitement to such
crimes ns thnt cumtntttocd In lluffalo clearly
makes the Inciter an accessory before the
fact. It wns never chnrged that Mrs. Sur
ratt shot President Lincoln. She gavo nld
and comfort to the assassin nnd It wns for
that orlmo nnd becnuse she was an acces
sory that she died on tho gallows. Perhaps
ho chain of evidence to bo developed In
the trial of Czolgosz will provo as effective
In connecting Emma Goldman with the
murder of President MeKlnley ns wns the
trial of Hooth's co-consplrntors In connect
ing Mrs. Surrntt with tho murder of tho
republic's first martyr nearly half a century
ago.
i'nsli Ik for Hen I Miitcsnirii.
Legislation looking to the ndequate pun
ishment of crimes against the person of tho
president nnd fnr the suppression of nn
nrchlsts ran only ho had after enrcful
thought by the best minds In congress
Unrein, of men scarcely capable of framing
a pension bill have nlreoly declared their
purpose to frame and push such laws. The
great statennen havo not been so free In
expressing themselves, but It Is safe to
nssert that these nro the men who will
bear the brunt of tho labor of preparing
these Important ndditlnns to tho federal
criminal code. They will not ho led nway
by populnr clamor. Thoy will not rush In
nnd defy the constitution, but they will
eventunlly prepare and present bills which
will accomplish the ends aimed at nnd
which will be so framed ns to assure the
endorsement of tho supreme court, to which
final nppeal Is sure to bo made should
occasion over nrlsn for enforcing tho pennl
tles of the statutes nbout to be enacted,

Probably there were no more astonished
nnd disgusted men In Iliiffnlo lust Wednes
day than ex-Judges Lewis nnd Titus. Those
gentlemen novo reputations ns lawyers
which extend far beyond the confines of
tho Kmplre state. Knch has occupied a
sent upon the bench nf the supremo court
nf tho state nnd both nro known nlmnH
from ono end of tho country to the other.
Judge Lewis Is n republican, Judgo Titus
a democrat. That such eminent men
should hnve boon designated to defend tho
wretched murderer of tho president speaks
volumes for the Innnte fairness of Judgo
R. K. Kmery of the county court, who has
assigned them to that unpleasant duty.
It means that In spite of tho fact that Czol
gosz Is without a single friend or open
ndvocato In tho city In which his crime
wns committed, he Is to have tho advantngo
of defense by the best nvnllablo legal
tnlcnt.
Those who know Judges Lewis and Titus
realize that they have probably never had
to perform such unpleasnnt work as tha'
which has been cut out for them by tholr
friend nnd colleague, Judgo Kmery. To
tho lnyman thn Idea nnturally arises that
tho duty would be declined, nnd thnt both
gentlemen would nsk tho court to relieve
them from a task so unharmonloos with
their sentiments townrd the client who has
been thrown nt them, so to speak.

Hut one of the most eminent lawyers In

services at bis dlsposnl which the com
bined wcnlth of every anarchist In tho
country could not retain for him. This

of tho court nnd It is his duty to obey the

as It Is tho duty of a soldier to obey his

governor of Cuba. In the evening he dined
with the family nt tho residence of Cap

dence ho Is staying preparatory to moving
Into the White House. This Mr. Roosevelt
probably will do Tuesday, his family Join

president did not visit the White House
during tho day.
The president left shortly before 11
o'clock for the Reformed church, Sixteenth
and O streets, which ns vice president he
chose for his church homo Just after the
Inauguration. Tho presMent wns attired
In n black frock coat and trousers nnd

which Mr. Roosevelt responded, nt the
samo time Introducing Mr. Robinson. Tin

The church, which has a sentlng ra
pacity of 200 persons, was Jlllod to over

gain admittance. Tho president portlcl
patcd In tho services nnd at the close tho
congregation remained standing until ho
nnd Mr. Robinson left the edifice.
Rov. Mr. Schick's sermon was from tho
third chnpter of Kphcslans, the seven
teenth, eighteenth nnd nineteenth verses,
nnd wns upon the benefits to be derived
from love of God and lovo for God.
An unexpected Incident occurred Just ns
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Robinson left tho
church. A lli-yonr-ohl boy, nnxloun to ob
tain n photograph of tho chief executive,
had stationed himself on the sidewalk
nbout Blxty feet from tho entrance to the
church. As soon ns Mr. Roosevelt reached
tho sidewalk ho saw the boy with his big
box Immediately and, raising his hnnd In
n signal to n bleyclo policeman standing
by. said: "Stop that: stop that."
Tho officer Jumped In front of tho camera
nnd tho president strodo forward nlmnst
on n run. Coming up to the boy he shook
his finger menacingly at him and declared
"You ought to ho nshamed of yourself
trying to tnko a man's picture ns he leaves
a house of worship: you ought to bo
ashamed of yourself."
Tho president, with Mr. Robinson, then
strodo across Fifteenth street with head
erect and ahoulders bnck. A bicycle ofll
cer attempted to follow, ,but the president
..trned ond with nn Impatient wnve of his
hands said: ' I do not need you."
The olllcer then fumed 'back and the
president and Mr. Robinson continued their
walk, going' In n roundabout woy to Cap
tain Cowies' house. Many persons passed
and recognized the president, tho latter
pleasantly responding to their Habitation.
Two bicycle policemen, who kept nt a rc
Rpectful dlstrncr In th,- ro,- ind followed
the president when ho wc.il' to church.
The president's wnlk with General Wood
covered nbout six miles In all. The general
called for Mr. Roosevelt with an automo
bile. Tho two got Into the vehicle together
at the Cowies residence, but the ihnffeur
was dismissed when tho outskirts of the

had seen much of each other as command

Their walk lav through the beautiful sec

During that tlmo General Wood went

It Is reported that the Colombians havo

Mr. tlrockciirldue'ft Address,
Ralph W. llrcckonrldgo delivered an ad
dress In eulogy of the lato president. Ho
spoke In part ns follows:
William McKlnloy wus h patriot of th".
highest typo. As n mere liny he took his
life In his hands nud won honors for liltn
self on the il, id of buttle, lie was n con
structive st :it oh ma n: his name In Inills
solibly connected with that theory of the
tariff over which our two grout political
parties havo contended at the ballot bo.
He sought to avert war with Spain, but
when war was Inevitable he lssi:"il Instruc
tions which reached the Asiatic squndron
hat the ships In command ivf Dewey si.ould
be coaled nud prepared for the greatest
uiiviil vlejory. which history records: and
up to the moment when the assassin's bul
lets plnwod through bis body his mind wns
nt work upon plans which will best enable
this nation to carry out those responsibili
ties which came to us ns an Incident to our
war In tho muse of lumiinlty. According
to tho grout Ktigltsb statesman. Joseph
Chamberlain, n patriot Is "a good t.on of
Ills country. William MeKlnley was !n
very 1 1 ut Ii "a good .".n of his country."
nnd his every public utterance wis
freighted with sentiments of tlin loftiest
patriotism.
On the Fourth of July. 1WM, while gov
ernor of his native stale, ho delivered an
address on this theme at the dedication of
the Hxldlers' and Sailors' monument nt
leveliind. Previous to the nddress "Our
'Hntinlc I'ing" was tiling by the school chil
dren of Cleveland, who In singing Mm
chorus beat the time of the music with
fliigw In their untiri. Mr. MoKtn'.Cl' ad
dressed his litiirern In thesn words:
"I wish tho whole world might hnve wit
iioHsod the sight we have just seen and
have hoard the snug we have just listened
to from the school children of the city nf
Cleveland With patriotism In our hearts
anil Willi tne nag or our country In oil
hands, there Is no danger of nnnrchv and
there Is no danger to the American union. "
Little did ho dream that ho wns to lie
the victim of nn anarchist's bullet, but
what ho mild was true, for an anarchist
has no patriotism, he loves no country, he
has no Hag, save the red emblem of vio
lence, his bund Is agnlnst all government
nnd his heart Is full of hatred for everv
symbol of authority.
Anarchy Ik. In Its very osmium-, a crime

Alarming Letter.
A most alarming letter from Capetown
Is published today by (ho Dally Kxpros.
Tho writer says' "Tho Doers ore over
running Capo Colony; they are on the coast
linos and nro within forty miles of Capo
town. Tho Intelligence doptirlment docs
not know how many colonial rebels hao
taken up nrms in tho Inst fortnight."
In conclusion, the writer states Hint "tho

nnd It Is usoIosh to disguise the fact."
N" I'cnr of Intervention,
In London tho speech of President Loiibet
when proposing the henlth of tho czar and
czarina at tho luncheon which followed thu
review nt Ilotnnny Saturday, Is lu no way
regarded as nn Indication of an intention
on the part of tho Russian emperor to In
tervene in South African nITalrs. Kvcn
In Paris, rellectlon seoms tn have con
vinced many papers that there was very lit
tle In the words of M. Lnubet and that
beyond n confirmation of tho Frnncn-Rus-slnn
alllanre. Utile has been nchlevcd by
tho visit of the Rusnlan sovereigns.
Lord Kitchener's latest dispatches, al
though they contain good nes as well as
bad, have done llltln to reassure tho ptihlln
concerning the state of affairs. Tho loss
of Lieutenant Colonel Murray, n brother
of Lord Miiniiflold, Is keenly felt. Thorn
Is llttlo douht that further details will show
It was a serious affair. Lord Kitchener
announces that llutfnlo river Is flooded
and that there Is no change In tho situation
in Natal.
llliliol lleml OfT llotliu.
The latter fact shows that General Lit
tleton has not yet succeeded In interfering
with tho movements of Commandant Gen
ernl Hotha. P. J. fintlm, whoso ciipturo
Lord Kitchener reports, Is n brother nt
tho Doer rommnndnnt. According to thn
latest advlroH from Capo Colony, the situa
tion thorn Is serious owing to sympathy
nnd nld, which the Dutch aro giving tho
finer commando. The Uritlsh find II dif
