Class Of Italians IN New York.

NEW YORK, March l3.--SpeciaI
cable dispatch to the Herald from
Palermo, Italy, says:
Lieutenant Joseph Petrosine Of the
New York Police Department was
shot and killed early this morning
near his hotel.
His assassins are unknown. He
had come here on an important mis-
sion, which had for its object the
protection Of peaceful Italians Of
America.
Lieutenant PetFosene was the head
Of what is known as the Italian
squad Of the New York Police De-

organizers Of it. He was sent to
Italy to carry out plan which was
suggested years ago BY a special
agent whom the commissioner had
hired to propose ways and means Of
stemming the tide Of Italian and Sic
ilian crime in New York City.
II is said by prominent Italians in
New York who have done all they
could to suppress the lawless eIe-

that the assassination Of Petrosine
unquestionably would result in RE-
doubled efforts to stamp out Tho
