NEW YORK, March 13.-The as
sassination of Petrosini has stirred
the police force center and already a
campaign against the Italian secret
societies, which are believed to have
instigated the murder, has begun and

lieved the Italian government will
cooperate to stamp out the societies

member of the police force for fifteen
years and his arrests have numbered
in the thousands. He was prominent
in the Malta cases when Roosevelt
was police commissioner.

PALERMO (Sicily), March 13.-
Lieutenant Joseph Petrosini, the New
York police detective who has been
the terror of the BLACK Hand So
cieties of America for many years,
and who was here searching the rec
ords to prevent the emigration of
criminals to the United States, was
shot and killed last night at Marina
square.
There is no clue to the assassins,
who disappeared in the darkness. The
police say it was undoubtedly men
who feared the New Workers. search
of the records would reveal their con-
nection with crimes. Petrosini had
secured mass of information con-
cerning the Malta members which it
was hoped would prevent the landing
of such men in America by supplying
grounds for deportation.

When a play gets into stock and
sticks then we know that it has become
a classic. 1t takes good drama, a
most amusing comedy or a delicious
farce to last long enough for career
in the theaters which harbor the sue
cesses of stars. But when a play does
outlive the bumps of many road tours,
the treatment of companies numbers /,
2 and 4 and the wear and tear Incl
dent to travel and still has vitality
enough to appeal to the play goers who.
possibly, have seen it in its younger
days then surely it is entitled to be
considered a classic and to be treated
with the respectful consideration that
goes with successful achievement and
ripening age

l thought the world was growing
sophisticated. and that theatergoers

and disbelief to the drama. Indeed. the
papers tell us that meiodrama is dead.
and that we don't believe in it any
more; we are told that we refuse to
hiss the villain or cheer the hero; that
we withhold our sympathies from the
heroine and do not regard her as the
beauty which she really is nor as the
darling which the hero knows her to
be. Sympathy for the plays OF direct
