Rome.-What is known as the Pat
erson group of anarchists by the Euro
pean secret police, has agents follow
ing Theodore Roosevelt for the purpose
of assassinating him.
This statement was made to me by a
man high in the Italian secret police,
who has much to do in protecting the
famous American while he was in Italy.
The statement was made as a result of
| the reported arrest of an anarchist at
| Chiasho. Switzerland, under suspicious
! circumstances.
About the time of Mr.. Roosevelt's ar
rival at Khartoum, word was received
from the United States to the effect
| that an anarchistic emissary had left
that country presumably for the pur-
pose of doing harm to the noted trav-
! eler and the secret police were request
ed to take every possible precaution.
| More than this, some of the best men in
the United States secret service have
| been quietly watching Mr.. Roosevelt
since his arrival at Cairo and will watch
over him until his arrival in New York.
The Italian police declare the idea of
assassination of Mr.. Roosevelt is solely
to strike terror to the hearts of the Eu-
| roPean rulers, and if the assassins are
not able to accomplish their purpose be-
fore he embarks for America he will
| not be molested.
From the time Mr.. Roosevelt was DO
lice commissioner in New York and up
| TO the end of his term as president, he
| was persistent enemy to the Black
handlers, Malta and Terrorists in Amer
lea, and he was in thorough sympathy
with the international crusade against
those ina
Paris.-A curiaus incident has hap

ball." replied the sergeant, "and not
maneuvers, and l have no orders to re-
ceive from you here" The lieutenant
| at once took the sergaent's number
telling him, Il will see that you are
! punished" The crowd took sides with
the sergeant, and comrades of the lat
ter walked off the field.

the story of an armed attack on a from
