IMMUNITY FROM PUNISHMENT.
OF THOSE AsSASS|NATED H|M
Ramifications of the Malta and Camor.
ra Extends to the Police and Public
Officials of Italy and All Fear Its
Power.

New York, April 12.-The funeral of
Lieut.. Jos. Petrosino of the New York
police department, who was assassin
ated while engaged in special service
in Palermo, Sicily, was made the oc-
casion today for remarkable tribute.
Twenty-Five policemen were stationed
in front Of Petrosino's home and fifty
detectives were on duty in the yards
and on the roofs of that and the ad-
Joining buildings. Foufthundred and
fifty policemen, including many dress
ed in plain clothes, we're assigned to
guard the funeral procession on it's
way from Lafayette street to the
cathedral and from the cathedral to
the cemetery on Long Island.
Petrosino's murierers will never be
brought to justice. 1t is just as we'll
that the people of America should re-
sign Themselves to the fact.
Nor is It in the least degree prob
able that any of the more important
documents i'll his possession at the
times Of his death-papers relating to
his search for the criminal records of
Italians in this country-will ever
find their way to Mulberry street; for
they were taken from his body and
seized in his lodgings Immediately at
terward by the police of Palermo
that is to say, by the very men who
may be relied upon to do everything
in their power to protect. not only
America whose evil antecedents In
the land of their birth he was engag-
ed in investigating.
This does not necessarily mean that
the police of Palermo are confederates
of those who. killed Petrosino, but
merely that-sAey neither care nor dare
to life finger against the assassins.
1t would be contrary to their sense
of honor and duty, besides which it
would, as they are we'll aware, bring
all kinds of harm on their own heads
and those nearest and dearest to
them. Similar influences will prevail
with the magistrates charged with the
investigation of the affair, and 1t is

Washington, Nov. 22.-That the

acute stage was evidenced when Sec
retary of State Knox sent for his col
leagues in the State Department and
for the Acting Secretary of the Navy
and his aides to meet in conference
in his home. For nearly three hours
the statesmen went over the situa-
ton. The result of their delibera-
tions was not made public, but 1t was
not denied that more warships are to
be dispatched South at once.
There was considerable rumor
about the State. War and Navy build

quickly by a detachment of the same
strength which are now at Philadel-

tion of Leroy Cannon and Leonard

the ground that the men confessed
to locating mines in order to blow
up the two vessels carrying govern
ment troops.

Vice Consul at Managua in which he
says that the Nicaraguan Minister OF
Foreign Affairs had informed him
that the Americans who we're exc
cuted On November 18th at 10 a. m.
had made a confession In which they
admitted laying mines in the San
Juan River with the object of blow
ing up Nicaragua ships. The min
lister also stated that the Americans
were tried by court martial.
The State Department received q
telegram that the case Is absolutely
unprecedented and that the comman-
der-in-chief of the Nicaraguan army
and the MinisterGeneral opposed the
execution, which was ordered by
President Zelaya.
Secretary of State Knox has cabled
