THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.


the Chief Of Police a report of nine
ty-fOur assassiuatiuns 10y Italians
aud Sicilians where the accused es-
capped for want of evidence. Then
following the assassination of Chief
OF Police Hennessy, the trial demon
strated to the people that no one was
safe from the mysterious band that
was operating regardless of law. 1t
was only when this fear grew into
absolute conviction that the people
rose in their might and took the law
into their hands, and then followed
the event of March 18th.
The report discusses different
phases of the trouble and adds:
"The only radical remedy which
suggests itself to us is the entire pro-
hibltion of immigration from Sicily
and lower Italy. 1t was found ne
cessary to prohibit Chinese immigra-
ton, and Congress passed the neces-
sary law. The danger to California
was no greater than the danger to
this State from Siciians and lower
Italians. They are undesirable citi-
zens, and there is no reason why
they should be allowed to partici-
pate in the blessings of freedom and
civilization, which they are not only
unable to appreciate, but which they
refuse to understand and accept"

for all time. | know well enough
that you have long been at the head
of the disturbing element here that
has been menace to the peace of
this community. You know as well
as do the insidious4means by which
you seek to intimidate and frighten
people. You may not do your work
openly, but you find another, and,
perhaps, more effectual way. You
have sought to foment trouble here
time and time again. Matranga
comes to me and tells me that he
cannot pass Provenzano in the
street without the latter splitting at
him.
Now, there must be at once and
forever an end to this. | am sick
and tired Off l tell you, you must
take your hands off. l have issued
orders to the Chief of Police that he
use his entire force to prevent you
from carrying your design into exc
cution. l am sorry that | am OBJ
liged to 90 to Denver If | could
remain here l t. 0ould personally take
command of the police force and use
every means at my command to wipe
from the face of the earth every men,

his hand against persons of this com
