ITALIAN EXTREMISTS TO
WAGE WAR ON CLERIcALS S

ROME, Oct. 17.-All indications are
that the extremists in Italy are deter
mined to make an anti-clerical cam
paign, more vigorous even than that
in France. This is being directed by
the Masons, whose grand master has
issued a most violent manifesto in be-
half Of Ferrer, recently executed, and
against the church.
The manifesto said:
"Sacerdotal tyranny, still vermil-
ion with Italian blood, imposed and
obtained through the fright of a boy
and the cowardice of the government,
the slaughter of an innocent, who was
not judged but murdered, Italy, which
has seen scaffolds Redeemed, fire applied
to the stakes and the slaughter even of
unarmed women and children ordered
by the church, must understand its
duty. Rome, which has inside it's walls
the Vatican that for centuries has sup
ported all tyrannies from which to our
shame the slaughter of Barcelona orig
mated, must decree that the last crime
will not remain unpunished.
AN international subscription has
been opened to establish, in the Piazzo
of st. Peters, facing the Vatican, Fer
rer's modern school, which was sup
pressed at Barcelona

hiding, adding intensity to the three
cornered struggle for the mayors s
chair for which William j. Gaynor,
Democrat; William R. Hearst, indie
pendent, and Otto T. Barnard, Repub-

porter, and came in the form of a
statement by Henry George, jr., son of
the famous single tax reformer, who
charges that WINS went to his father
in 1886 and offered him inducements
to withdraw from the mayoralty race
against William r. Grace. George re-
