JAFFEI THE RED
IS EXPECTED.

Look Out for Notorious
Italian Anarchist,
(By Associated Press. }

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Commissioner
Powderly, of the immigration Bureau.
has sent notices to all immigration Off
GERS to be on the look out for q man
known as Jaffei an anarchist otherwise
known as "Jaffei the Red who is sup
posed to be on his way to the United
States. If he is, found on any of the in
coming steamers he will be detained, and
Ii a precedent established about four
years ago. in the case of a we'll known
anarchist who attempted to enter the
country, is observed, Jaffei will be re-
turned to the country whence he came.
AT that time Commissioner Pow derby
held in effect that any one who breaches
anarchy as natural result of his teach
ing will land in prison and thus become
public charge.
AS the law prohibits the landing of a
person who may be likely to become a
public charge, the officials feel that they
will have a right to debar Jaffei from en-
tering the Unietd States.
Jaffei is said to be an Italian under %
years and notorious for his anarchistic
doctrines. He is said to have been in
prison at Milan, Italy, and was suspected
of being implicated in the assassination
of King Humuert.
