" ' ' New York, April 21. rA police raid on an obscure resort In the under ground world of the East Side, has brought to light the romantic story of an Italian bandit, a fantastic Neapoli tan Rob Roy of real secret power, who, fleeing from his native country to escape arrest for assination, came to America to .. wield . the same power which was his abroad. . The man Is Enrico Alfano, , called. "Erricone," head of lheJmystejlqua."Cammorrlsstl Dl Napoll," or Camorra, an Italian or ganization of terrorists. , When the police raided an East Side den one night last week,: Alfano was discovered crouching in a corner, seeking to escape the glare of the po liceman's lantern." He has been held without ball until to-morrow on the charge of murder, but unless the nec essary requisition papers hare arrived from Italy, or some strong representa tions are made from Rome to the gov ernment at Washington, It seems like ly he will be given his freedom. IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION. Death was the punishment Inflicted upon one Cuocolo, a pretender to the position of ruler of the Cammorristi, and Alfano Is declared to be the slayer of his rival. The pretender was Mured to a forest where 1)4 was stabbed to death, it Is claimed, by Al fano and his conspirators. Then the wife of Cuocolo was condemed. Alfa no and his men called at Cuocolo's home, and when the wife entered the door she was stabbed, her body pierc ed by a dozen slender shafts of steel. The assassinations spurred the gend armes of Italy to extraordinary activ ity,. Alfano and the conspirators, al ways protected by the faV-reachlng Camorra, a demi-god, possesed of mystic powers, free to roam at will unharmed because V enveloped with some divine authority, Invulnerable as to bullets and impossible of capture With Us stronghold at Naples the Ca morra stretched out In all directions. carrying on systematic terrorism, rob bery, blackmail and' other forms of crime, a huge and fine-spun web to enmesh many victims, -which was dl rected always by Alfano, and , which always safeguarded him from mlsad venture. j Then suddenly Alfano dls appeared. . :' A FEAST HIS UNDOING. 7 The scene quick.y changes to Amer lea, and to the Italian settlement of New York, . The Camorra, like the Mafia,! thrived, and was feared here, too, with, all its sinister machinations which baffled the police, even the Ital' ian detectives. By the New York Cm orra the chief, was 'greeted with many honors. A feast was prepared in reo ognitlon of the coming of the leader, and ' Alfano (was banquetted at the Pattrochi. But this feast as his un doing. He was spied upon by a fol lower of the murdered pretender, and the word was passed to Petrosinl and Archiopolll, New York's Italian detec tives. Their subsequent descent upon the East Side underground resort end ed the bandit's liberty. - ' Alfano is young, not much over 35 and of lithe and graceful build. His face, of. dark Italian regularity, would be insistently handsome if It were not marred by - an ugly scar extending from his mouth almost to his left ear, an enduring ' resemblance of an en counter, with an enemy. As he stood before Magistrate House In the, police court yesterday, Alfano had . all I the appearance of an Italian of high rank. He woremralt of fine texture, mould ed to his slender form. He admitted through an Interpreter that he was Al fano, but denied that he had committ ed any crime. He was, he coolly de clared, visiting the United States be cause of the frequency of political ar rests in Italy. ' , ' LIKELY TO BE RELEASED. , He was - attended by - counsel, who asked tor bail, which the Justice re fused. Alfano was committed to the Tombs until to-morrow, when, accord ing' to Magistrate House, he will be discharged unless legal papers arrive. Meanwhile, Detective Petrosinl ' was advised to consult the government authorities.' ' ' The utmost endeavors of the police to discover Alfano's headquarters here have been futile. They realize, how ever, that powerful Influences are with him in his present predicament, and are not at all certain that they can- noya him for extradition. . : ... it. l'.r Tj I to i.,.o A. i : - :y cl t I WAS DISGUISED AS A STOKER.

Details were ob tained today of the escape from Italy of Enrico Alfano, known as "Brrl cone," head of the Camorra Secret Society, whose ; extradition is sought by the Italian authorities. The local police authorities who had long sus pected him of being connected with the Canrorra, ordered a squad of gendarmes to arrest him. But. Al fano, having, associates among all classes of the population, was noti fied xf the Intention to take him into custody and succeeded . In leaving Naples.

Norfolk. Va., April 21. Despite the splendid efforts of a corps of energetic, efficient, painstaking officials and thousands of carpenters, masons, ce ment walk builders, and .. landscape gardners, the Jamestown Exposition will be - opened this week unready. Many thousands of . the magnificent structures that are to have domestic and foreign commercial exhibits and shelter the achievements of the Indus trial arts are Incomplete. .-Yetr-whllef this Is acknowledged by the directors of the exposition with keen regret, it with the satisfaction that , the sum of what has been done, 89 scompared with the unfinished work, forms a result of which; they are justly proud. In the beauty of the water show, with its amazing gathering of foreign fleets representing the most ' formid able types of naval fighting machines of nearly; every power of the world, and In an v opening programme with President Roosevelt and the leading role with diplomatic, military, and naval representatives - of great and small ; foreign nations oarilcipatlnff, the public will have tts" recompense. So vast-and"; complete Is this pro gramme that exposition visitors will not have time to take, notice "of the unfinished state of the buildings and grounds. : - The ' opening day will be crowded from sunrise until dusk with the ceremonies of formally launching the enterprise and paying fitting trib ute to the distinguished visitors. ABOUT 80 PER CENT. FINISHED. The grounds 'and buildings at the exposition are about 80 per cent finished. Alth-ough a hasty glance over the grounds would lead the uni formed to doubt this, closer obser vatlon and the opportunity of examin ing the great mass or boxed exhibits. waiting to be Installed, would convince the early visitor. No exposition ever before has , presented such a perma nent appearance, and this is in a great masure responsible , for the delay, Several of the most Important build lngs are built solidly; of, brick, cement and Iron, and -these are Intended to remain on the grounds as a. nucleus of a great park. , Regardless of the permanency Of , the work, however, the exterior of most of the buildings will be ready - when the exposition is formally opened on Friday next' The unfinished state that annoys the eye at the present time is due aimoBt wholly to unsightly debris of all kinds with which the exposition grounds is strewn . No effort has yet. been made to -dear away surplus building 'mate rial," but hundreds Of wagons' and men will be engaged . to-morrow and con tinue through the succeeding days and nights until Friday, when' assurance Is given that there will , not remain a trace of unnecessary debris. -J TRADITIONS OF COLONISTS. Celebrations Is the natural sequence of achievement The inception of the Jamstown Ter-centennial Exposition Sprang from: a desire of "a; .people; many of them descendants of that hardy English stock that settled among the Indians here 300 years ago, to teach to its brothers and sis ters, and display to visitors from older nations the traditions that have been handed down by these colonists. It was : Intended that the exposition should be historical, but it has grown beyond the dreams of Its originators, L When completed, , It will be almost all thatvls Implied in the expression "a world's fair," but It .would not stop there. No other exposition has ' at tempted to shows the world the life of the. colonists, : the hardships of - the pioneers who opened new country af ter clvlllgation had been attained upon the seaboard, and the achievements these people worked from raw . ma terial. Into all this has been thrown touches of the romantic In which stu dents and all history lovers of the Revolutionary;- period may "reveal. Twenty-five States of the Union will trace their history from their earliest days to the present,; and the exhibits will be ; sheltered by anDronrint buildings. - For instance, the Virginia maia Dunams is moaeiiea after i an ideal ' colonial mansion. Kentucky jweeenia rcpiica, ai Don Boone. Ohio shows "Adena," the first -Bton house erected west of the 'Allegheny mountains, Connecticut reproduces the Talmadge Home, the first colonial mansion erected In that State; where General Washington held many of his councils of war; and other States have displayed equally good judgment In their selections of designs. ' , . EXCELLENT VIEW OF NAVIES. The State buildings . have' been grouped along the hlstorio shore of Hampton Roads, and they command an excellent view of the navies of the world. It is the great naval display that will prove the crowning glory Of the exposition. Nothing like it was ever before attempted. There have been gatherings of fleets before, but not on such a tremendous scale as will be accomplished here. In fact,' there are few harbors in the world, that could accommodate so large an assemblage Of warships. It is expected that the vessels will attract world-wide atten tion, for the fleets will number, in ad ditlon to several of the best types of each of the foreign naval powers, the Atlantic fleet of the United States navy, under command of Rear Ad miral Evans, which Is conceded to be the finest organization of fighting ma chines afloat This fleet Is alreadVan chored ln Hampton Roads, but the ships have taken the position furthest from the " Water front in order i to glvo'the commanding locations to the foreign visitors. Should Friday come with the sun. shining there will be presented a pic ture long to be remembered by 'every visitor. It will be a picture of art ana industry : united to. produce, a marvelous display of the wealth and the resources of the country, of charm ing landscapes shadowed by the im posing domes of luxurious palaces, of a, broad expanse of placid water on which are . 'rldln peacefully the war crafts of a dozen nvr r"''crs, of to! ';rj t..J .T, . .

C, April 21. There is a feelins among those who heard the arg-uments in the case be fore Judge Lrawley In the Federal Court at Charleston recently when the contract labor law act was attacked in the Interest of two negroes on the ground that it is a form of peonage, that the State will lose in the case. And if this act is declared unconsti tutional, It Is predicted that the new act passed by the Legislature this year making failure on the part of a farm tenant to carry out a lease contract punishable on the criminal side of the court will be even more easily knock ed out. If both of these acts are thus f enderedHineperatlve - there will be, practically nothing left for the South Carolina lien law to rest upon, and the annual fight which has been waged against It in the Legislature for the past SO years will - In all probability succeed next February. , If the Hen law, which Is sustained., each year by a narrow majority, goes, farming meth ods will have, to go through a revolu tion throughout the State, v This new act as to tenants, , m tne opinion of good lawyers, has the efr feet of making a tenant a part or. tne realty, transferable along with the lease from one owner to another dur ing the life of the lease, which may run many years, lik a stump, a rocK or . a tree, creating' a sort or surraom as under the EngUsh law "In days of old when knights were boia ana Da rons held their sway." Attorney Gen eral Lyon, who argued for the consti tutionality ot ' the act ' attacked ' in Charleston, has not yet rendered an opinion on the new act, but those who have applied to his office for Informa tion have been advised to consult their attorneys before attempting to enforce its revisions on the criminal side or the court The new act was declared to deal not only with negroes but .with others who "Jump" farm leases to go to the railroads or to the mills after being- advanced supplies. . A serious nresent aspect of the situ atlon has to do with the predicament the farmers will find themselves, in with the crops just coming on for cul tlvatlon, with no big stick to hold over the heads of the Irresponsible negro farm hands, who are growing , more unreliable .and untrustworthy each year. With these two laws knocked out there will be no. way of holding that large class of negro, laborers who are already deeply In .debt to land-owners for supplies, nor any means compell ing that other large class who ' have rented lands - and are in .debt to merchants for -supplies with the com lng crop as collateral. ! i v. Of course If the cases are appealed, which will 1n all probability be done, the .final decision win be a long way off; but this will help matters very Ht-i tie, In view of the uncertainty of the law being finally sustained and by rea son of the fact that habeas corpus proceedings will be open to any one against whom attempt to enforce the law. s 1 There are many others, however, who take a cheerful view of the mat ter, who hope that both laws will be declared unconstitutional, In order that tfte ruinous credit system which has been Impoverishing ; the farming Interests for the,, past half century exhorbltant prices to time merchants, will : be for ever broke down. Those who look for this correction of disas trously unbusinesslike -methods also think that the negroes can be better handled by being forced to work by the day for cash under competent white overseers.
