italian Companion of the Dead
New York Detective States
That That Was His Only
Mission.
CARRIED PHOTOGRAPH
OF THE Ex-PRESIDENT
II Is Generally Reported That
The Terror to the Black
Hand Met Death at Hands
Of His Own Spies.

Rome, March 15.-According to a
statement telegraphed from Naples
the mission of Joseph Petrosino, the
New York detective killed Friday
night at Palermo. was to protect ex-
President Roosevelt from an intended
attempt on his life during his forth
coming visit to Italy.
The authority. for this story is Fer
dinando de Roberts, an ex-custom
house guard Of Salerno, and an inti-
mate friend of Petrosino. who, he says
travelled in his company from Rome to
Naples, when they had confidential
conversation.
De Roberts says that Petrosino did
not 90 to Sicily in connection with
criminal emigration. but for the pur-
pose Of watching batch of emigrants
who recently returied from New
York. some Of them being escaped
convicts. who it wJs suspected were
aiming at Roosevelt's life either when
he was in Naples or during his pro-
posed short stay at Taormina.
De Roberts declares that Petrosino
showed him Roosevelt's photograph
bearing an affectionate dedication and
that this surely will be found among
his belongings. Petrosino. De Rober-
tbs says, was convinced Rooseyelt's s
life was In danger and was determin-
ed to strive to protect him at the risk
of his own life. He told De Roberts
he intended to wear the cross of a
Capuchin friar in Sicily. as he was
suspected and otherwise would be cas-
lily recognized.
Own Spies Victim One Theory.
Among the many speculations there
is one which meets with great deal
OF acceptance-the theory that Petros-
ino was killed by his own spies. There
is reason to believe that his presence
in Palermo was discovered by return
ed emigrants some time prior to the
murder. It is stated that he was rec
ogntzed In a restaurant which he fire.
quented for his meals and that there
he received on Friday a pretended
confidential communication which re-
suited In his fixing meeting with the
commentators for Friday evening
near the scene OF the murder
It II impossible to say whether
there Is any basis for the story or
whether Petrosino actually had any
spies in his employ. The police have
arrested number of suspects in Pal
ermo. including several returned emf
grants. Many Of such emigrants con-
IsoQuently are leaving Palermo hur-
rfedly. Two OF the men arrested are
supposed to have returned from New
York. They are suspected OF having
committed murder or having been
directly implicated in It The police

BOONE-MANLEY
 CASE SETTLED

FAIRBANKS.-The famous Boone Manley case. involving a partition of creek claims Nos. { and below dis coyery. on Cleary creek, was settled yesterday out of court. These are known to be two of the richest placer claims in the Panama. being valued at S1,OO.OO. The pay streak on Cleary creek is absolutely true and can be figured upon as safely as if it was a quartz ledge. The ground has been i litigation four years.
 A peculiar feature of this litigation Is that both sides win by the fact that the claims hay ebene tied up dur ing this length of time. All the rest Of the claims on the creek have been worked and the owners and laymen have carried away fortunes. In the mean time the cost of labor, of mach inery and of supplies has decreased appreciably, so that when the long idle claims are opened the gold will be extracted at a much lower cost and at a much greater profit to the owners than had they started to open I'D the ground in 1905.

HUNTERS HAD

Dr. E. H. Hopkins and w. B. San born of San Francisco arrived in Skagway Tuesday night and lef' on the Princess May for the south. They have just returned from hunting trip up the White river, leaving White horse on June 26 and with a single guide polling up the White river in a canoe.
 They proceeded Il miles up the White river and then were stopped by shoal water. There was plenty of water in the main stream, but the current there was so swift that they could not proceed against it. The work of polling was very hard and the mosquitoes made life miserable for them.
 In all the party only bagged four small bears. There was lots of game at the head of the White river ac- cording to the boundary surveyors, who say they saw one herd of lSO goats. Dr. Hopkins says he will re- turn to Alaska next year and make a tip up the Pelly.
