TRACK ROOSEVELT
Is Feared European Reds Have
Marked Him For Victim.
IS BEING CLOSELY GUARDED

Ex-President Giving European Secret
Service Police Concern on Account
of Rumors That Anarchists Are
Dogging Him With Sinister Intent.
Rome-"What Is known es the
Paterson group Of anarchists by the
European secret police has agents
following Theodore Roosevelt for ths
purpose of assassinating him"
This statement was made to cor
respondent Clement Archon by man
high in the Italian secret police, who
had much to do in protecting the IA
nous American while he was in Italy.
The statement was made as the re-
suit Of the reported arrest Of an an
archist at Chiasio, Switzerland, under
suspicious circumstances.
About the time of Mr. Roosevelts
arrival at Khartoum, word was re-
ceived that anarchists had left that
country presumably for the purposs
of doing harm to the noted traveller
and the secret police were requested
to take every possible precautlon.
Roosevelt Well Guarded.
No more elaborate preparations
for protection against assassination
have ever been taken in Italy, even
for the car of Russia, than have been
taken in the case of 1fr. Roosevelt,
and the same will be the ease in all
the countries he travels in in Europe.
It will be next to impossible for an
assassin to get close enough to the
president to harm him.
1t is being said that Mr.. Roosevelt
is an extremely difficult person to
guard. He seems to be perfectly fdar-
lese ar1 whom in Ita1v toN'y chances
which gave those to whom was in
trusted the task of looking out for
his safety many an unhappy half
hour 1t IS understood, however, that
both he and his son have been in
duced to arm themselves with auto
matte revolvers. and in case CT trouble
they would be very likely to give q
COCA account Cf themselves.
To Strike Terrcr to Rulers.
The Italian police declare the idea
of assassination of Mr. Roosevelt is
solely to strike terror to the hearts
of the European rulers, and If the
assassins are not able to accomplish
their purpose before he embarks for
America, he will not be molested.
