He may also urge the enactment of a federal statute penalizing an assault upon the President, and punishing with death, no matter where committed, such crime, if the assault should prove fataL Such legislation might be broadened so as to stamp out anarchy by proclaiming the creed a conspiracy against the gov 4 ernment and providing punishment foe the preaching and practicing es it. President Roosevelt talked the other day with Commissioner of Immigration Powderly on the subject of keeping anarchists out of thia country and Is gath-j erlng information abont the differenc plan* for revising the immigration lawsl so as to prevent the landing of the un-) desirable classes. His recommendation to Congress will undoubtedly take th* usual form of suggesting legislation and allowing Congre** and the executive department interested to draft the lawk, but the bill that is introduced this winter will have the full approval of th* President before It is brought to the attention of Congress. Commissioner Powderly’s plan, when approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, will be submitted to the President and will probably form the groundwork for the bill to be introduced in Congress. Both the Treasury Department and the I Department of Justice are interested Ini the suppression of anarchy will aid the President in securing eoen legisla-i tlon against anarchy a* will be effective.' It is expected that th* Ouban tariff ou sugar making machinery and materials for railroad building Will boob b* seduced.
