HOT bEOOF CRIME
PATERSON WAS BREEDING PLACE
FOR ANARCHY-FACTs ABOUT
LEADERS AND PLOTS.

New York, Aug. A persistent hunt
after facts concerning Enrico Malatesta.
the aVoWed anarchist whose name has
peen mentioned in connection with the
killing of King Humbert, has brought
out the story of how he came to locate
in Paterson, N. j., and how he nearly
lost his life there. The anarchists of
Paterson, having started paper looked
about for an editor of international fame,
and the choice fell on Malatesta At that
time he was living in exile on little
island near Sicily. The Paterson society
determined to liberate him. They raised
sufficient sum of money and sent it
over to their compatriots in London with
Instructions as to how it should be
used. The London anarchists commune
Gated with a friend CT Malatestas living
in Tunis. That friend chartered a small
sailboat and succeeded in freeing the
arch-anarchist from his island prison.
Malatesta first sailed to Tunis; then he
went to London, where he was raptur-
ously welcomed by his old-time ac-
quaintances. He was supplied with
funds for tour in the United States
and arrived in New York in September,
1899. He repaired at once to Paterson,
where an even more cordial welcome
was extended to him. Shortly afterward
Malatesta started on a lecturing tour to
the centerS OF anarchy. The fourth lee
ture of the series was given in HobOken
The hall was crowded with anarchists
and socialists, among them Esteve.
Guabello, Cravello and Bresci.
At certain point in the grafton one
PaZzagila raised voice of protest.
There was war of words. Pazzagila
lost his temper, insulted Malatesta and
invited him to leave the hall and settle
the matter outside. Malatesta in a pas
sion was on the point of descending from
| the platform when PaZzagila drew a re-
| yolver and shot him in the thigh. Bresci
threw himself upor the would-be assas-
sin and disarmed him. It was this act
which won for Bresci the friendship of
his leader. who looked upon him as the
savior Of his life, Malatesta himself be-
ing disabled at the time. -
AS soon as Malatesta recovered from
his wound he continued his lecture tour
and he was always accompanied by
Bresci to guard him from further vio-
lence 1t was well known, however, that
Pazzagila had repented of his attack
and promised never to repeat it.
Before Malatesta's departure for Lon
don, last April. it had been determined
| that the society should strike a telling
/ blow. But the opportune moment had
/ not yet arrived. Malatesta consulted
with his fellow conspirators abroad and
it was evidently agreed that the italian
monarch should be the victim. A cable
was sent over from London. "The oppor-
tunity has arrived" Funds were raised
at once. and Bresci. Quintavilli and

BRAKEMEN WILL BE NO MORE,

New York, August .4.-Some of the rail-

abandoning the time honored title of
brakeman on passenger trains and call
ing him assistant conductor. The brakes
on all passenger trains are no longer
worked by hand but by air. and there
fore, it is argued that the old title Is q
misnomer.
''The name brakeman" said a railroad
man, has been a mfsnomer ever since
brakemen ceased to be brakemen-that
is, when air brakes came into use. A
brakeman nowadays simply attends to
signals. calls name of station and other
wise assists in conducting the train. The
change to assistant conductor is logical"
