NO PROMISES
GIVEN TO TAFT
Loeb Will Be Patronage Dis.
penser in New York For
President

New York, Dec. 29-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt has not declared for
the denomination of President Taft
by the Republican party in 1912. Col.
Roosevelt made this fact most en-
phatic at his Office yesterday.
"All Of this talk about me support
ing Mr.. Taft in 1912 is utterly alb
surd," Mr.. Roosevelt said. "There
has been nothing like that discussed
by me with any one at any time.
"And SO far as the statements are
concerned that Collector Loeb has be-
come a Taft dispenser of patronage in
New York in order to secure the state
delegation for the presidents renom-
ination in 1912, know nothing more
of the matter than what have read
in the newspapers. So far as
know there is nothing in it."
The statement followed the publ
cation Of a dispatch from Washing
ton setting forth that Collector Loet
of New York had been appointed
helmsman of the Taft political for.
tunes as regards 1912. that Col
Roosevelt had made overtures ot
peace with Taft and that these over.
lures had been welcomed at the
white house.
The dispatch went on to say thai
Mr.. Loeb had been handed over the
New York patronage to be used in
the interest Of the denomination o.
President Taft.
As the Washington dispatch lait

Italian Solon Would Stem the

Rome, Dec. 29-The fight that Miss
Amy A. Bernardy, formerly instruc-

ly check the emigration of Italian
criminals to the United States and to
cooperate with the American govern
ment in the detection of the crimi-
inals.
Deputy Peroni's speech followed
the publication of what purported to
be the secret rules binding together
the members of the black hand groups
spread throughout the United States.
The publication was made under Miss
Bernardy's name and in presenting
the document to the Italian public,
the fearless American girl declared
that, while she could not tell how
she had come in possession of the
document, yet she could vouch for its
Authenticity and veracity.
To correspondent. Deputy Peroni
said it was his intention to urge the
Italian government to open negotia-
tions with the American authorities
SO as to come to an understanding as
to what can be done to remedy the
present situation, which is regarded
as extremely detrimental as we'll as
dangerous to the reputation of the
Italian name in America.
I'VE all know, Deputy Peroni said
"that the large majority of the Ital-
ians residing in America are hard
working, thrifty, and industrious and
that the prejudices existing against
them are mainly due to the ruffianly
behavior of small number of GRIM
inals who have fed the country to
