Fire Loss in Montpelier [excerpt]
Some excitement is said to have been caused in Barre by the discovery of a package of photographs of Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, in the ruins of an Italian printing plant burned Jan. 14. The paper printed in the establishment was The Cronta Soverfiva [sic], an anarchist organ, and it is thought at Barre that the office and perhaps, in a broader sense, the Italian district of Barre had become the headquarters for active anarchist promotion in the United States. Upon the back of each of the 100 photographs of Czolgosz was stamped “Circola Studi Sociali, P. O. box No. 158, West Hoboken, N. J., U. S. A.”, which is said to indicate one of the many names of a dangerous anarchist society. Secret service men are reported to be seeking evidence with the hope of breaking up the anarchist societies at West Hoboken and Barre.
