ANOTHER NATION-WIDE PLOT STARTED BY ANARCHISTIC ELEMENT LAST NIGHT SCHOOL FUND ENDS MOST SUCCESSFULLY 'RELIEVED OF DUTY Congo Tribune Meeting Held at "Y" Last Night Shows That The $10,000 Fund Has Been Oversubscribed. A. F. HARTSELL'S TEAM WAS LEADER In Total Subscriptions Secur ed. Official Figures Give the Total Amount Raised as $10,304.00. The campaign launched last Tues day morning In thin city anil county. for the raising of u $10,MK endowment fund for the Laura Hunderlaud Memo rial Hchool ended officially lust night when a meeting was held nt the Young Men's Christian Association Imllding. All canvassers were pres ent at the meeting last night, which waH prodded over hy Mr. L. T. Hurt sell, charuiiin of the committee in charge of the campaign. The reports show that the drive was a most sue ccssful one. and more than $to,(KlO was raised. Official figures give the total at $10,.KM.OO. At a meeting held last Monday night subscript inns amounting to $7. 22.r.(H) were reported, and last Friday night another meting showed that only $4(K was needed to make tlx drive successful. At that time lead ers of two of the canvassing teams were absent, and their report last night showed that (lie drive has liceu successful since last Thursday, lint of ficial figures were not available until last night. Messrs. A. F. Hartsell. W. I.. Hell. V. V. Ritchie, h. T. Hartsell, F. C NlhloCk and John Kutledgc were lead ers of teams in the campaign, and the team captained by Mr. A. F. Hartsell led lu total subscriptions with $.1. 7.1G.00. The raising of the JIO.IMHI for this fluid will mean more for Sunderland than anything perhaps, which has ever leen done for the school. Heretofore the institution has been run wholly on subscriptions from other cities, and the INHiple of this city and county will take a new interest in the school, now that they are helping it financially. This financial help will also give the school the moral and physical co-operation of the people of this city, which will Is? of the greatest benefit to those lu charge. The Woman's Mis sionary Board of the Northern Presby terian Church will give one dollar for each dollar given here, so the raising of the fund here really menus a do nation of twice that amount. It is also probable that the Woman's Hoard will give fcJO.ODO the school for ad ditions to be built to the Institution, and this fund is more certain now that the people of Ibis city have responded so liberally to their endowment fund. "We are sincerely thankful for (he hearty co-operation and courtesy we met on every side during the drive," Chairmuii Hartsell said today. "Sun derland has ever been a great educa tional and spiritual asset to this com munity ; It will do still greater work, now that it has the moral and financial support of the people of Concord and Cabarrus. As Chairman of the cam paign committee I wish to thank the people who helped us with their time ami money: I feel though that they are to he congratulated rather thnn thanked."

Mayor Isenhour Inaugurates Plan for Monster Celebra tion to Be Held Later in the Summer. CO-OPERATION OF EVERYONE ASKED Must Decide Between Home Coming and Celebration of One Day for the Soldiers and Sailors. Mayor Charles A. Isenhour has in augurated a plan for a Home Coming in Concord in the. near ful lire, and with this end in view a meeting was held in his office last night, nt which time plans for the celebration were discussed. Those conferring with the Mavor were Messrs. It. K. Harris, J. I.. Hartsell, W. A. Full and Howard M Culdwell. The Idea as first proposed was to have a welcome Day for the soldiers of this county, the day to be devoted entirely to their amusement and pleas ure, the celebration to lie held J illy 4th. This plan was discussed al length at the meeting last night, anil It was decided not to have the celebration on July 4th. The labor question is still unsettled here; farmers are behind in their work ; many soldiers will not have reached Concord and Cabarrus by that time. The celebration will be held though, and the point undecided upon now is whether It will be a 1 Ionic oniing, as formerly held here, to ex tend over two days' time, or Just a cel ebration for one day in honor of the soldiers and sailors. If it is to lie a Home Coining more than one day will he required, for per sons will be here from (heir present homes, uway from this city und Suite. and It will require at least two days for them to visit relatives and speak to all their friends. The ihtsous prcs- nt at the conference last night were undecided upon this matter, the most general feeling being that it would be la'tter. and more appropriate to have the celebration for just one day, and have It for the soldiers alone. The entire citizenship of Concord and Cubarrus will probably be given a chalice to voice their opinion in this matter. The Mayor is desirous of giv ing Just such a celebration as will be most pleasant and appropriate, and lie wants the approval of the entire coun ty lu his final decision. The celebra tion will most probably he held in August, unless something comes up in the meantime which will warrant a later dute. The plan for a Welcome Home Day for the soldiers ami sailors carries with it a parade, free amusement, n big barbecue dinner, served by the la dles and young iMople of the city, no speaking of any kind, and a ball game in the afternoon. Hands will lie plac ed at different places in the city too, that there may be music all day. A dunce will be held at night on one of the streets of the city, at which time every one will be invited to take part. The Mayor will cull another meet ing In the near future, and at that time definite plans will be niaile. both as to the time and the nature of the celebration which will lie held. The entire population of the county is wanted to take part in the celebration, regardless of what kind Is decided upon, and every one is urged to be ready to give their hearty co-operation at the appointed time, that Cabarrus may hold the greatest and most suc cessful celebration in her history.

(Or The Aaaorluted Preaa.) Washington, June .'!. Widespread bomb explosions last night, apparently a sequel to the unsuccessful Slay Day outrages, when infernal machines were mailed broadcast from New York t.) men prominent in public life, was be lieved by officials here to be another move in an anarchistic movement for the overthrow of organize. 1 government in the I'liilnl States, rumors of which were said to have been called to the attention of members of Congress and the Department of Justice officials months ago. Fvidencc that the pact was carefully planed was containel in a pamphlet found in I he homo of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, whose home In fashionable sM-tion here was partly w recked by a bomb. Warning was given that "a time has come when the social questions solution can be delayed no longer: class war is on, ami cannot cease but with a complete victory for tin- International proletariat.' Although apparently intended to do greater damage the latest bomb explo sions from a standpoint of loss of life appeared to have been bill little more successful I hail those of May 1. Fatali ties resulting as reported today were confined to the plotter himself at the Palmer home, and to New York where some one to possibly two persons were killed. The full list of cities in which ex plosions occurred wore: New York, Washington. Cleveland. Pittsburg. Phil adelphia. Huston. Patterson, and New ton ville. Massachusetts. Washington police inspectors early today believed they bad Identified the Dial) who was blown to pieces lust night in an effort to kill Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer with a bomb as an anarchisl of Philadelphia. They also said they were confident that the na tionwide plot against the lives of gov ernment officials and prominent busi ness men had leen laid U) that city. A bl I stained conductor's identi fication check found in front of Mr. Palmer's resilience early today showed that the anarchist arrived in Washing ton at K::tO o'clock last night from Philadelphia. He went directly from the I nion Station to the Palmer home, ami only a few minutes before the ex plosion he was seen alighting from n street car a few blocks away by C. S. Kriggs. of Marion. S. C. The police would not reveal the iden tity of the man. but they felt conli- lent their investigations since last midnight would lead quickly to file ap prehension of bis assistants, who they believe were responsible for the May Day plot ill which many infernal ma chines, addressed to governors, gov ernment otlicials ami prominent men were placed in the mails. The anarchist was evidently of Ital ian blood. His scalp, found by the police at daylight, bad on It hair that was dark and curly. Included ill (lie heap of tut tercel, scorched, blood stained fragments of clothing and articles belonging to the man was a much-thumbed Italian-American dictionary indicating its owner knew little Knglish. By u strange freak of the explosion was a bat which remained intact. On the sweat band was inscribed the name of "De I.nca Bros.. Hatters. t)l!) South Sth St., Phil adelphia." The pidiee are confident that the plans of the anarchists to blow up the hiime of the attorney general and kill its occupants would not have miscar ried, hail be not in his excitement und in the darkness stubbed his toe on a low coping, six feel from the front door where il was obvious he intended to place fhe powerful infernal machine. The coping tripped the anarchist and when lie fell the concussion apparently set off the bomb he was carrying. The head of the anarchist was found ou tlie roof of u house more than a block away from Hie scene of the ex plosion. Representative Mansfield, of Texas, was passing nearby when fhe laimb ex ploded. Flying fragments of the an archist struck him anil dyed deep crim son spots in the light summer suit he was wearing. Arresta Made. Pittsburgh, June 3. Robert John sou. 35. president of the I. W.
