' Certain forms of "conversion
for purposes of evasion" are
made crimuul and punishable,
such as fictitious exchange for

He was the victom of $
bullet fired by an anarchist,
, one of the same stripe as
those who hae been recent
ly planning to overthrow
the American government
President McKinley was
one of the foremost men of
