Mussolini Gangsters
Frame Carlo Tresca;
II amous Editor Jailed

On a charge of felonious assault,
preferred by Giacomo B. Caldora, pre-
sident of the Alliance of Fascist II
Duce, Inc, Carlo Tresca, well-known
anti-Fascist and editor of II Martello,
was put under arrest yesterday and
at a late hour last night was still
awaiting release on bail. Because
of a recent law, Tresca could not be
admitted to bail until the police had
provided a certificate to the presiding
magistrate, and this had not yet been
furnished when the DAILY WORKER
went to press.
Upon the order of members of the
Bomb Squad who visited Tresca on
Thursday evening, Tresca appeared
yesterday morning in the 202d Street
Police Station to face Caldora in the
presence of Detective johnson. The
DAILY WORKER printed yesterday
an account of this Fascist's attempt
to frame-up Tresca by inviting him
to the office of the Alliances head
quarters, 585 East 18TH Street, last
night, and then locking him in and
calling for the police. Tresca broke
out of the building and escaped, after
chasing Caldora and his companion
who hurled stones and then fled from
the scene.
Cock and Bull Story.
The story told by Caldora yester-
day was that he had taken Tresca
to his headquarters, and when he
opened the safe lin order to get some
papers which he had invited Tresca
to examine) Tresca took out a revolt
yer and pointing it at him said, "Now
give me all you have in that safe"
Caldora stated that while Tresca had
the gun trained on him, he sprang
at him, knocked him down and es-
capped. He declared that in the mean
time his Fascist friend was being at
tackled by Tresca's companion, who
also welded gun. Caldora said he
finally escaped and when outside the
building began whistling and shout
ing for the police. He admits he
threw a stone at Tresca and his
friend, and then ran.
After Tresca had told the truth
about the event, Detective Johnson
took both men to the magistrates
court at 1914 East 181st Street, where
the stories were heard by a member
of the district attorneys staff. He
refused to prefer any charge, but
Caldora insisted on charging "felo-
NOUS assault" Magistrate Dourass
fixed the bail at $4,000.
Fascist Frame-up.
1t is the belief of Tresca and P.
Qaintilliano who accompanied him to
court yesterday, that this case is
deliberate attempt of the Fascist to
frame-up one Of their bitterest foes
in this country. Friends of Tresca
consider it purely happy accident
that an attempt was not made on his
life when the Fascist agents had
succeeded in Turing him to their head
quarters last Saturday.

ALCATRAZ ISLAND, Cal, April
R-On this unwalled prison estate
of II acres-an island which from
distance looks like mighty
battleship-the army's bad boys from
west of the Rockies are operating
laundry earning in excess of
$4,000 year.
They call it disciplinary bar
racks now instead of military prison,
as it was founded in 1857, and
indeed today it has little of the
oppressive penal atmosphere, although
here are confined some 450 former
enlisted men from whom: for various
offenses, the uniform has been
stripped.
The island lies almost within the
shadow of San Francisco's crowded

isolation of Robinson Crusoe's lonely

from a family friend, has been long

But it's their private affair and neither
of them would ever admit it.
1T was in China, fighting the Boxers,
that Smedley was twice wounded.

General Smedley's father is Con-
eressman Thomas S: Butler, of Penn

the house naval affairs committee, who
has the longest continuous service rec

"Old Man" Butler, as he is affec-

ADEQUATE navy and he believes in pro-
tecting American lives abroad.
But he thinks it's a blamed nuisance
to have to go tearing in every so often
after American citizens who insist on
staying in danger zones With~ full
warning of what may happen. Thus
he thinks it right that Smedley should
be on the job, but if he had had his
way there'd have been no reason for
the boy to have been sent over in the
first place.

scholastic track meet in which Phoenix
high school was returned the winner
with 46 points to their nearest COM

from Scott, of the Wildcats; the mile
run, captured by Caddo, of the Indian
school; the quarter mile dash, won by

meet handily, with Douglas two-man
team garnering II points for third
place, just behind Mesas 19 for second
