RELATIVE OF TAFT
MEETS BUNKO MEN
Captain Lewis Is Rescued From
the Willy Gentry in Nick
of Time

After several years spent in the Phil
ippine islands the ways of white men
appeared so exhilarating to Captain ].
R. Lewis, U. S. A, and who is said to
be relative of President Taft, that he
gleefulIy accepted the advances Of two
bunko men last night and was on the
point of being fleeced out of $3.50 in gold
and diamonds when the police stepped
in. The bunko men were shooed away
and the gallant captain led to bed.
Captain Lewis arrived in San Fran
cisco on Saturday in high fettle. There
were two reasons for his condition
one, because he was going to be mar
ried next month, and the second be-
cause paved streets and glittering
lights looked peculiarly fascinating
after the years amid the Moros and
bolos
He brought with him diamond badge
which had been presented to him for
saving the life of General Lopez in the
islands and $3.50 in gold in hard
earned cash from Uncle Sam. He put
the diamonds and money in his pocket
and wandered forth. The bunkomen
spied him before he had gone a block,
and an immediate friendship sprang up.
Then there followed an automobile ride
and a few bottles of wine, joyously pur-
chased by the captain.
The bunkomen retaliated to this gen
erosity by buying for Lewis three pairs
of shoes and suit of clothes-price
sS.s8, marked down from $40.
Whereupon the captain bought more
wine. He was still buying wine and
automobiles and things when the police
grabbed him and he was carted back
to his hotel, carrying the shoes in one
hand, the clothes in the other and, in
his heart, an all embracing affection
for the entire universe.
Inasmuch as the bunkomen had not
turned any trick nothing could be
done with them

Many Arrests Made of Criminals

Suspicious Center on Two Men
of Transatlantic Repu-
tatiOns

PALERMO. Sicily. March 1.-THE as
sassination of Lieutenant Joseph Petro-
sino of New York has stirred the police
TO unprecedented activity. Many ar
rests already have been made. and these
include a number of Italians with Grim
inal records who lately have returned
from the United States.
The suspicious of the police are espe-
cially centered on two notorious GRIM
inals, one of whom is a thief of inter-
national reputation and the other an
assassin to whose door are laid many
New York crimes. The latter was
obliged to leave the United States be-
cause OF the stringent watch kept upon
him by Petrosino. 1t is impossible to
ascertain the names of the men who
have been arrested, as the police main
tain complete silence.
The Palermo authorities have ar
ranged for the funeral and the body
will be shipped to New York.

and the bill was not seriously injured
by the assembly amendments In
doubtedly the statewide vote on United
states senator is the plan which has
the popular approval because it is the
only plan worked out in the direct pri-
mary states. Tt is also undoubtedly
true that the district plan might very
easily result in the election Of a can
didate for the United States senate
who had not received a majority or a
plurality Of the votes cast by the domi-
nsnt party.
This was demonstrated by the last
senatorial primary election in Missouri.
Joe Folk carried 81 out of 12O sena-
toriaI and assembly districts, but the
vote Of Kansas city and St. Louis gave
Senator Stone a popular majority and
six year lease on his seat in the

senator represents all the people and
that in his selection the legislator rep

While the nature of the crime was
such as to stir the hearts of all the peo-

only the diplomatic and consular bodies
are under the special protection of the
government. Petrosino did not come
under this head. but was in the same
category as any American citizen

Not in FIint's Interest

The assertion that the district plan
was proposed in the interest of Sena-
tor Frank Flint is the rankest non
sense Some sof the politicians inter
ested ia Flints reelection may have
figured. 10 their own satisfaction. at
least, that the district plan would help
Flint, but the plan was proposed in
the first place by men who have no
interest in FIints candidacy or the
candidacy OF any other individual And
the clearest headed political mathema-
ticians in both houses are inclined to
the belief that the district plan would
make Flints reelection more doubt
ful than the statewide plan.
BE that as it may. the question in
volved in the senate is one of adher-
ence TO the Independent conference
agreement upon the original senatorial
plan. which the advocates Of noncon-
currence vehemently assert was de-
signed to cover the direct primary

Eleven Suspects Jailed

NEW YORK, March l4--L1eutenant
Antonio Vachris, chief assistant to Pc
trosino. arrested four men in little
wine shop in Brooklyn tonight 1t
was intimated that Vachris had reason
to believe the men had knowledge of
the plot to kill Petrosino.
Stefano Castronouve, one of those ar
rested, who made a desperate attempt
TO escape is said to have recently
come here from Chicago, where he is
alleged to have been member of a
criminal group. Revolvers and still
lettos were found on the prisoners. Sew
en- other suspects also were arrested
during the day.
The New York police feel resentment
that no word regarding the murder of
Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino in Paler-
mo, Sicily, had come from the Italian
police, although cable had been sent
them.
Inspector McCsfferty, head of the
detective service, said:
IF an Italian detective sent here on
a mission by that government and
working in behalf of the Italian police
had been murdered in New York we
would have notified the slams mans
home department. 1 cabled Saturday
for information, but have received no
answer from Palermo"
The inspector said he was anxious
to know whether Petrosino had been
robbed after being shot. He intf-
mated that Petrosino had some papers
valuable to the police here in running
down Black Hand and other italian of
tenders. The inspector said that Pc
trosino had letters of instruction from
the department here, which, if stolen
by the murderers, would reveal to the
