BRAZiLiAM POLICE FOIL "REDS" PLOT TO BLOW UP FLEET

Rio Janeiro Sleuths Are Now After Anarchists and Conspirators Who Have Fled to Towns on the Interior. DASTARDLY SCHEME WAS CONCEIVED IN EUROPE. Police Received Word That Anarchists Had Left European Capitals on Mission of Destruction. Illo .lanerio, Jan. 2u The Urazilian police have discovered an Anarchistic plot here having for its object the dent ruction or part (f the American fleet now lying in the harbor. The conspiracy, which centered in Uio .Janeiro Htid Petropolis, has ramifications in Sao Paulo and Minas deras. A man named Jane Fedher, who resided in Petropolis, was the chief conspirator here, although it is understood that foreign anarchists are deeply involved in the plot. Fedher is believed to have fled to Sao Paulo, and the police, who know him, have snt. to that place for the purpose of apprehending him. One of the detectives, who was well jicquainted with Fedher. having served on the police force at Petropolis for pome time, returned from thai place yesterday, after having made investigations there, and had a long conference with the chief of police at Kio Janeiro. The latter gave it. out later 1hat the Sao Paulo police are on the track of the arch conspirator and expect to arrest him soon. In an official note the chief of police Bays: "Some time before the arrival of the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the Brazilian government received from "Washington and Paris information that anarchists of different nationalities intended to damage one or several of the ship of the American fleet. Plot Hatched Abroad. "The names and addresses of the conspirators were Indicated by information which the police had received previously from France and Germany. The police of this district are working with the police of Sao Pauio and Minns Geras, and I am sure every precaution will lie exercised and most rigorous vigilance observed both on land and at sea to prevent, any injury being 1one." The chief of police, after having made this official statement, said that he did not feel he should go into any further details with regard to the conspiracy, but he authorized the statement that the plot was organized by Fedher, and he added that the people of the United States could rest easy, ns all of the conspirators had taken refuge In the interior. As yet the peo ple of Brazil are ignorant of the de tails of the plot to do injury to the vis itora, although there has been some light Inkling of the matter. The impression which the exposure of this plot will create here will be a profound one, because it is the first anarchistic conspiracy that has ever been known in Brazil. The police of Sao Paulo have sent word that they are on the track of the malefactors. who, they declare, will not be able to come to Kio Janeiro. NOT YET APPRISED. If Anarchists Metcalf Have Been Captured Does Not Know. Washington. Jan. 20.

The Brazilian Ambassador, Senor Koaquim Nabuco. who has received (Several dispatches from Rio since the arrival there of the fleet, said that he had not heard anything definite. He expressed himself, however, as greatly, pleased that this trouble had been eliminated.

The guest of honor, before whom every patroness bowed deeply, was a little, old. stuh-ny-mustacneu man. whose baton wa lifted a little later for the leading of the orchestra which has played for as many generations of cotillions as Chi cago society is old.

This benefit dance was given for "Johnny" Hand by some of his friends when it was learned that he was passing through the fire of trouble.

iGuana Sought His Children ; Who Were Kidnapped and He Met Cruel Treatment at The Hands of the Rovers. LITTLE GIRL THROWN INTO HUGE BONFIRE. Tiny Form Was Found on Bun dle of Straw in Nude Condi tion Which Revealed Horri ble Punishment. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 2 Mariana and Diana Guana, aged 12 and o. respect ively, said by their fuller, Nelan Gu ana, to have been kidnaped in St. Louis last June by John Mitchell, were last night found near here in the camp of a band of gypsies, ol which Mitchell is the king. During an attempt to recover his daughters from the gypsies the father, who is an old man. was set upon and setiously stabbed, afterward making his escape from the dusky rovers and reporting what had occurred to the police. If the story told to the police by Guana and the girls be true, the old man's daughters have been subjected to torture in most shocking and cruel form since they were kidnaped by Mitchell seven months ago, one of them being thrown i.ito a campfire and fearfully burned. Guana told the police that besides kidr aping his two girls Mitchell stole $G0o from him. and that since the disappearance of his daughters and the money he has been constantly on Mitchell's track, only locating him and the two girls last night. Gang Jumped on Him. When Guana appeared in camp Mitchell sounded a note of warning and his aids came to his assistance and pounced upon the agei man. An uglywound was made in his arm with a stiletto and he was beaten cruelly about the face and head. Making his escape on a horse, Guana rode to police headquarters, and Detectives Ferris', Dunn and Heil were sent to the camp, where they arrested Mitchell. The detectives were surrounded by at least 50 gypsies, men and women, ami it looked for a moment as if trouble would occur, but the display of weap ons made by the officers cowed the gypsy band and Mitchell surrendered, i The officers found one of Guana's children lying on a pile of straw in one of the 21 tents of the camp. She was perfectly nude, and one leg and a portion of her left side were frightfully burned. When asked how it happened, the child. Marianna by name, pointed to Mitchell and declared "He threw me in the fire." , Guana declared today that the girl's story that Mitchell had thrown her ito a campfire and tortured her was true, and that the other daughter had been maltreated terribly. All Were Barefooted. In the camp were 11 wagons, 21 tents and about 7." men. women and children. The children are all barefooted, and present a sorry spectacle. The men do not work, the money being made by the women, who go about telling fortunes and selling gypsy antirj uities. Guana, who is a Syrian, de clared that his children were kidnap ped while the gypsies were in cam; near St. Louis.

SCHOOL BOY GIVEN THE ROYAL BUMPS Case of Hazing Results in the Death of Victim. Chicago, 111., January 0 Raymond Taylor, a sixteen-year-ohl pupil of the Eugene Field School in Rogers Park, died early Saturday morning, a victim of hazing. He was hazed by two of his school mates about 10 days ago, and. although he attended school until last Tuesday, he did not recover from the effects, and died of spinal meningitis. The hazing which cost the life of young Taylor consisted in what the boys at the school call the "royal bumps." Two of his schoolmates seized the boy. one taking his head and the other his feet, and, holding his hands so he could not protect him self, thev bumped him ou the brick pavement of the schoolyard. A BRAHMS ANECDOTE. The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For the Great Composer. Among the Rrahms anecdotes which are popular in Germany this one was contributed y Fran Luise Pohl. Rrahms liked linden-Itaden and took as much pleasure in a winter visit to the place as in the crowded summer time. The residents knew this when they invited him in 1ST0 to come and direct some of his works. After the concert the friends of the master assembled at Goldemen Krnuz by invitation of the oberburgcrmelster ganner to "drink a glass of wine." The session lasted long, but gradually the company grew smaller. Presently they had all gone except P.rahms and Cornelius Rubner. After awhile even ISrahms suggested home, and his voting companion eagerly agreed to adjourn the session. On the way home Brahms asked his companion, whose name he had not heard, "Ry the way, do you know this young director Rubner';'' "Are you interested in hiiu?" he asked by way of answer. "Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he is not only great, but genial. Don't you know him?" "I know him very well, lie is an ar rogant. conceited fellow, who can do nothing and knows nothing." The pleasure of the evening was spoiled by this harsh opinion as to a man whom Brahms had made up his mind to like. The next morning he attended, with some others, a breakfast at Jensen's, where ho told the story. He had hardly finished w hen the door opened and Rubner walked in "That's the man who slandered your friend." said Brahms, and when everybody laughed be suspected what was told to him as soon as the first man recovered. Using the Fire Suekets. In many busiuess offh s tire buckets are placed filled with waor. in readiness for an emergency. It is seldom, says the Scientific American, that instructions for use are pinned near the fciinrly. The wrong way to tackle an incipiert fire is ( usually i to hurl the whole contents of a bucket on the sjot. Most of the water is wasted by this means. A heavy sprinkling is iaore effective. The water may be splashed on the b'aze by baud, but a more useful sprinkler is a long haired whitewash brush. One of these should hang .beside every nest of tire buckets.
