NEW YOHK, Mar. 30- Alexander UerUuuu, the anarchist leader who served a long term in prison fcr au attempt to assassinate Henry c. Frick, was taken into custody by the polios here today. He will be taken to the Bellevue hospital1 this alternoou and confronted with Zee lig Silverstein, the man who ls in custody lor throwing the bomb at the union square meeting laat Saturday. The police say tbe two man will be questioned closely to learn whether tbey hove anything In common. The detention ol Berlunah wad brought out by the finding ot a cord bearing his signature ln Silverstein'a rooms in Brooklyn. The card certified to Silverstein'a membership in the Anarchist Federation. Silverstein, who waa Irightlully injured by the exploding of the bomb was reported to have made considerable .progress toward recovery to. day. ' The physicians at Bellevue eay he uiuy live. Bs is being closely guarded ln the prison ward at the hospital. Two detectives were said today to have gone from New York to seme unknown city In the northern part of lbs . state to search tor membsis of an anarchist group who fled from the city after the bomb exploded on Saturday. Tbs detectives are polled also to be eearchlngi for the huuuts of anarchists in Puteraon, N, J., and is said that the police departments of -Chicago, Denver, New Orleans and Son Francisco have been asked to co-operate with the New York police In their eltorta to discover any accomplice of Silver- steis. Berkfuan's meeting with Sliver- atein at the hospital failed to bring any akow ol recognition on the port ot either. As Silverstein'a eyes are sightless and covered with bandages, two detectives engaged Berkman in a spirited conversation in Yaddish, as the trio stood by tbe aide of Sil- versteln'a cot, watching the wounded man keenly for any sign or movement which might Indicate recognition of Berkman's voice. Nothing of thla kind occurred, however, and when Berkman aald positively that bs had never soon Silverstein before, there was nothing to do but to take hlm back to police headquarters. Police Commissioner Bingham, In speaking today of tbe disorders grow Ing out of Saturday's meeting of the unemployed, said he wanted lt understood that it is hia intention to deal with an iron hand in all cases of riot or disorder.

(Vancouv.t Province.) If the Liberal government at Ottawa ls .successful In . carrying through the House of Commons a bill to amend tbe Dominion Election Elections Act—a measure whlrh has already had Its first reading— the free and Independent voter who succeeds in polling an anti-government vote in British Columbia or Manitoba will become the tenth wonder of tbe world and entitled to every consideration as a curiosity. Apparently fearing the outcome ol a free and thoroughly popular selection of representatives ln the House of Commons at the next general election the Dominion government has taken steps to abolish the present voters' lists In British Columbia and Manitoba. A singular coincidence in connection with the matter is that both theso provinces are Conservative by an overwhelming majority in provincial polities. Bad New Brunswick " flopped" to the Conservative sooner then it did, that province would also have been included in the plan to disfranchise the man known to be against tbe Liberal Federal government. Job for a Ward Politician. This most astounding piece of legis httlon, introduced by Hon. A. B. Aylesworth, minister of Justice, makes it necessary that a new list of voters must be prepared between now and the date of the Federal elections. The bill declares that' the lists "shall be prepared immediately after the Issue of any writ for an election—or at any time when the a governor- in-council so directs."
