Asks Whitman to Act.


,,d tho n,lblisher of III Cittadino," sent
, +ronslation of part of the editorial to
District Attorney Whitman yesterday
and asked him to take action. Ihe Dls-
trict Attorney is now investigating the
matter.
It was said last night by well known
LAWYER that the concluding sentence OF
the editorial was actionable as an at
tempt TO incite crime, even though there
WAS no subsequent outcome. The IN
tent. it was said, was all that IS neces-
sary for an action
THE antagonism of III Prosresso
grows out of the aims of our league
said Mr. Pecorini last night.
..There are 100000 Italians in New
York City and only 5 per cent Of them
are naturalized. OF all the foreign races
the Italian is the one which has been the
least assimilated and has learned less
of the language purpose and ideals of
the nation. A small percentage of the
Italians living here from time to time
committed outrages, such as kidnapping,
dvnamiting murder, etc, which are COM
monty ciassed as Black Hand crimes.
and these few have brought the whole
Italian nation to disgrace in America.
We wish to stamp out this crime, and
thus look to laws which will deport the
criminals already here and prevent
others entering.
Many Escape Deportation.
There are many of these criminals
here now he continued. The Italian
laws are designed to prevent their emf
grafton. but many of them come over
land. through the Continent and then
out of a foreign port. Lieutenant Petro-
sino got about seven hundred records of
Italian criminals in this country when
he went abroad, in the hope that these
men might be deported In most in
stances. however, these men have now
been here three years and the statute
against them has expired.
At a meeting held at the City Club on
December IA all sorts of cross-purposes
were injected. members of the league
said. For one thing, man not Invited
10 be present and not a member rose
and delivered a eulogy on the Police De-
partment The league disclaimed that
il had made any criticism of the depart
rent whatever. and asked its aid. A
Nea politan. who was also not member,
got up and made a fiery speech along
italian sectional lines When he said
Sicily was "a land of paradise inha bited
by demons" the Sicilian blood rose and
q man from the island jumped from his
scat and made a spirited defence.
I'VE deplore any sectional issues They
were silly and useless said Mr. Peco-
rin. 1T has been urged by III Prog
resso' that we are trying to restrict I'M
migration. This is absurd. We are try
ing to restrict immigration of criminals,
hut We wish to help all worthy men.
Our league has been in existence seven
rIonths and we have helped over five
hundred men TO take out their natural
ization papers"
