The police have a good description of the fellow and will arrest him on sight. As a result of the disclosures additional guards have been placed about the Carnegie buildings and and Frick’s residence, and detectives accompany him wherever h« goes; Mr. Frick regards these precautions as unnecessary, but his friends insist upon this protection.
