NEW YORK, July sl.-There was a
meeting Of anarchists in Paterson, n.
j.. last night. at which the killing Of
King Humbert was endorsed. A re-
porter who sought admittance was vel
coined, and it was said that these anar-
chIsts wanted the world 10 know their
sentiments. The principal speaker Of
the meeting was Ernesta crevella, q
YEARS Of age. In the course Of. an i'm
passioned address she said:
I'VE are members OF the group Of
anarchists to which Bressl belonged.
He Is a martyr He has done what we
would have him do. Ask me II we ap-
prove the killing Of Humbert; viii an
swer the question before you ask it.
OF course we do. 1t was not our in
structiOn TO Bressi 10 kill but he has
done what he knew TO be right and we
will sustain him and give him our SYM
pathy. Was Humbert ever kind to us?
No. Was he good to the poor? No.
He was a monarch. and all monarchs
according TO our vows must die
LET Nicholas OF Russia tremble, and
let the new king Of Italy prepare for
death. They are both inhuman. They
are inhuman because they are mon
archs They would not consent to take
the places on the thrones We're they not
inhuman. It is a republic that we want
and it is a republic that the anar-
chists in every country win have"
Then came an implied threat against
high officials in this country, when the
young woman shouted:
They have run us out Of Italy where
to have stayed would have been to have
starved. Things are no better here.
We are treated like dogs in the mills.
We are not considered human by Amer
leans. We 10 net starve bur there is
worse death than starvation. 1t is
neglect Who is responsible for this
government? We win try to better it
BY fair means, and If we cannot sue
ceed we win try other methods"

lootti, r. D. Rosalia and P Pascale are
known to the Italians of the United
States as the 'triumvirate. They are
really the executive committee of the
Italian Republican Federation" Of
this country. Giglootti is secretary.
He made the following statement con-
cerning the murder of Humbert:
In the name of the Italian Republi-
can Federation Of the United States,
/ affirm most emphatically that there
has been no plot in this country to kill
King Humbert. We deplore, the killing,
but We question very much the good
ness of King Humbert, whose record
as regards labor has been bad one.
Many Italian laborers We're killed by
his soldiers in the bread riots not long
ago. with but the slightest provocation
1t may be that the man who has
killed him indicated the blood of the
unfortunates who lost their lives on
that occasion. The Italians in this city
do not believe that the murder was con-
cocted or was the result of plot. |
do not know what will be the situation
in Italy, but one thing is sure. that
soon the monarchy will be thing of
the past"
The Italian Federation is about 10000
strong in the United States.

cerning the antecedents and associ-
ates of Bressi, the murderer of King
Fumbert. and that they are in commu-

Paris:
While Italian anarchist leaders who |
have found refuge in Paris publicly de-
clare that there is no plot behind the
assassination. the information in the
hands of the police shows the reverse to |
be true One Of the chiefs Of the po-
litlcal police in an interview declared
that after the Milan troubles, italian
refugees poured into France. and that
many who suffered terms Of hard Ia
Dor then are now coming out Of prison
and finding their way abroad. These
