THE CRIME DENOUNCED.
Italians in Various Cities Ear
Mostly Protest.


CHICAGO. March 16.-The excitement
and indignation aroused by the Staying
OF the New Orleans suspects seems to
increase rather than diminish among
the Italians of the city. In the Italian
quarters to-day little groups of men
have been gathered all day long, and
the expressions of opinion have been
anything but mild. The committee APP
pointed last night to take charge of the
matter of expressing local sentiment
has decided 10 call a mass meeting at
Battery d. The demands for satiSfac-
ton as formulated by those Italians in
charge of the local movement are:
Money reparation for the families of
the victims, and that the ringleaders of
the mob be taken to Washington and
tried for the crime. 1t is the intention
to demand that the state and city Off
Gals under whose rule the affair oc-
CURED be held responsible and be pun
lShed with those who actually partici-
pated in She affair.
CINCINNATI, o.. March 17.-The bet
ter class of Italians in this city are in
clined to look fayorably upon the work
of the mob at New Orleans. saying that
the Malta has long caused respectable
Italians to suffer detraction. Although
there are in this city between 1000 and
5000 Italians, but $l4 was raised toward
the fund to be used in defending the
accused men at New Orleans. The cry
of Vendetta" is strongly denounced.
NEW YORK, March 16.-The Italians
of this city are very much excited over
the New Orleans tragedy. One of tine
most prominent among them said:
The Italians look at this matter in
this light: Their countrymen were
tried by jury in an American court
The American jury brought in verdict
of not guilty. The American people
do not stand by the laws of their coun-
try, but ta'.e justice in their own hands
and murder these men. OF course, this
otfends the populace. But you can say
i'll your paper. and l know it is so, that
no New York Italian believes in any such
secret society as the Malta. They con-
denim it much as the natiye-born Amer
lean. We simply intend to make an
earnest protest against the wholesale
bntchery Of our countrymen. We are
always hearing about the blood thirsty
Italian, but the American citizens of
New Orleans, in shooting men, string
ing them up to lamp posts and making
sleeves of the bodies, have rendered
themselves guilty OF such atrocities as
no body of Italians has ever commit
ted"
BosToN, Mass, March 1G.-The Ital-
ianS of Boston have been aroused by the
fate of their cOuntrymen in New Or
leans, and meeting was held at p.
m. to-day at Roma hall, 1913 Hanover
street, for the purpose of organizing q
large committee and of calling the Bos-
ton Italian colony TO mass meeting for
a protest against the New Orleans af-
Fthnrn jC tot
the people of the colony, who deplore
the dreadful Facts, but tine meeting will,
undoubtedly, be conducted with order
and dignity.
OMAHA, Neb., March 16.-The men,
berS of the Italian society Del CeniSo
al Etna, held meeting here to-day
and passed resolutions condemning the
New Orleans lynchIng, and kilograms
OF remonstrancC were sent to New York,
New Orleans and Denver. The society
claims to be antagonistic TO the Malta,
although there are many Italians in
Omaha who SympathiZe with the Hen
messy murderers, and only last week
sent over $500 to the accused.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March lG.-There
are about 500 Italians in this city, and
at several important gatherings yester-
day the murderers were cruelty de-
nOunced. kilograms were sent to
Washington and New York, demanding
that immediate action he taken to secure
reparation.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-A meet
ing of the presidents and Representatives
Of fifteen Italian societies was held here
tonight to decide what would be the
best course for the Italian colony of this
city to pursue in the matter of the lynch
ing of their fellow countrymen at New
Orleans. The meeting was pacific in
its character, and the sentiments eX-
pressed by the different speakers were
temperate in nature, although all de-
nounced the action at New Orleans.
The meeting was all informal one, and
beyond the appointment of committee
to consider what action should be taken,
nothing as indicating the sentiment OF
the entire Italian colony here was done.
The committee was ordered to report
tomorrow night. and it will undoubtedly
report in favor of mass meet ng at
which resolutions denouncing the action
of the mob will be passed.
