Thousand of Dollars Have
Come from Far-off Roots Of
the Malta Tree to Free
Imprisoned Leaders.

One high official OF the United States
government in speaking Of this said:
why the fellows in these papers wers
not deported is a mystery to me. The
immigration authorities cannot handle thu
matter themselves. They must have the
assistance of the police, and the latter
must take the initiative"
Much has been written about the Ca
mora, whose chiefs have been brought TO
bay by the intrepid marshal OF carbinieri,
Capezuti, and most OF what has been
written has been sheer balderdash. In
truth, the Camorra is to Naples what Tam
many Hall is to New York-no less and
no more.
The Camorra, like Tammany Hall. is d.
yided into two parts: one political and one
criminal But with this difference: Tam
many Hall, as Tammany Hall, Is purely
a political organization, but through the
gangs of gun men like the SirOcco and
| ZelIg gangs on the lower East Side, the
Gonhers OF the upper West Side. the Tan
ner Smiths of the lower West Side, used by
the polIticians as fioaters and guerillas or
thugs. at election time, IT has its criminal
adjunct.
The two Cauorras-for in reality there
| are two-are called the Camorra Alta, or
! High Camorra, and the Camorra Bassa, or
/ Low Camorra. The second Is made up OF
the fiotsam and Jetsam of Naples and does
not differ in any radical respect from the
, gangs Of New York, except that the Ca
| mora is a. secret organization, with pass
words and signs by which members may
recognize each other and give assistance in
time of need The Camorra Alta. or High
! Camorra, is made up of the chiefs OF the
Camorra Bassa and the political leaders o.
Naples as well as most Of the officials OF
| the city.

This silence is part OF what the sicilians
call omertA.
OmertA is the word that describes the at
titude Of witness. who, while under oath.
falsely swears that no knows nothing of a
crime Of which he has been an eyewitness.
But the word means more than that 1t

even under pain, to divulge information TO
the police concerning a criminal.
When the Secret Service agents arrested
Morelo at his home they found his wife
sitting on small bundle of letters. These
were Of the usual Matchmaking sort sent by
the gang, and bore addresses and post
marks, showing they had been received by
small storekeepers in the neighborhood.

But the name of the dread Sicilian soil
darlty has no true genealogical signih-
canoe. A member OF the Malta is called
n Mafloso. The word that Is used for a
good looking boy is the same. and that for
a beautiful woman Is mafosa

Inside Facts About the Sources
and Present Activities OF
New York's Most VII
cious Criminal Band.

/<H-HEY have Gagged the Wolf, but
they haven't drawn his fangs.
l. This was the observation OF
one who knows Ignazio Lupo, surnamed I'll
Lupo." or "the Wolf" when Judge George
w. Ray sent TO prison the most desperate
criminal, barring perhaps Erricone Alfano'
the head of the Camorra, who ever set loot
on American soil
The observation proved only too true
"Tbe Wolf is safe behind the steel bars
of the federal prison at Atlanta, but those
marked for his vengeance or the vengeance
Of the band of cutthroats he gathered
around him, and who still remain faithful
10 him. live in fear of the fangs Of the
Wolf and his whelps, and some OF them
have fallen victims to the malevolent brood
Sicilians all were the brood, showing the
traces of Norman and Moor, Greek and
Saracen, in their vicious features, with the
vices Of all the races that left their trace on
Sicilian civilization Thirty or more made
lip the band that followed the Wolf and
seven of them went with him to Atlanta
prison to serve sentences of from fifteen to
thirty years on the evidence of the Secret
Service agents under William j. Flynn,
chief of the United states Secret Service,
Eastern Division.
Chief Flynn is one Of those marked for
assassination by the band. Flynn knows 1t.
and is taking every precaution. Judge Ray
has also been threatened. as has been Abel
J. Smith, the Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney. who prosecuted "the Wolf
and the rest Of them, and when Judge Ray
opened the June term Of the United states
Supreme Court at Binghamton, y. Y. last
Tuesday he was closely guarded by Secret
Service men
When Judge Ray was sitting in the case
of the Lupo- Morello band he received a let

He was r member Of the Italian Chamber
Of Deputies when the Marquis Notarbartolo
accused him of embezzlement. Five days
later the marquis was stabbed 10 death In

thrown on the side OF the tracks.

Like the word maha. the etymology or
the word omerta is unknown. Some phil

corruption OF the Italian word for honor,

 Leaders of the new (Th!rd Term) party argue that industrial monopo- lies should be legalized. lest we lose the efficiency of large-scale production and distribution. No argument could be more misleading.
 It may be safely asserted that in America there is DO line of business in which all or most concerns or plants must be concentrated in order to attain the size of greatest efn. ciency. For while . business may Dc too small to be efscient. efficiency does not grow indefinitely with increasing size. What the most enhcient size is can be learned definitely only by eI- pertence. The unit of greatest en- ciency Is reached when the disadvan- tages of size counterbalance tho ad- vantAges. The unit of greatest eni- ciency is exceeded when the disadr vantases of size outweigh the advan- tages. The history of American trusts makes this clear. That history shows:
 Flrst-No conspicuous American trust owes its existence to the desire for increased efficiency. Expected economies from combination" Sgurs largely in promoters prospectuses: but they have never been . compelL ing motive in the formation of any t-,at. On the contrary. the purpose os combining nas orssn peen v~ o.-y ciency or even to preserve ineni. ciency, thus frustrating the natural law of the survival of the Attest.
 second-No conspicuously profits, ble trust owes its profits largely te superior efnciency. Some trusts have been very efficient, as have some in- dependent concerns: but conspicuous profits have been secured mainly through control of the market through the power of monopoly to f1 prices-through this exercise of the taxing power
