Who Wras Arrested in This Coun try and Scut Back to Italy by Pe trosino Trial Will Begin in a Few Days Last Desperate Fight of the Camorra For Existence. (By Cable to The Times) Home, Sept, ,12 Three hundred members of the dreaded Camorra are tinder arrest today, charged with be ing conspirators in the plot that led to the assassination of Lieutenant Petrosino, head of the Itulian branch of the New York detective bureau. They-wllJ all be placed on trial at Viterbo, near Rome, within a lew days.: Enrico Alfano, head of the Neapol itan Camorra, )s declared to be the man who planned, and tinder whose direction the New York lieutenant was slain In Palermo on March 12, 1909.. ' - Kquully strong and convincing Is the evidence which points to Gaeteno Ponadio, one of Alfano's trusted aides, as the man -who; a short time before the assassination,' sent a cipher, message to Noto, ..Sicily, ap prising a member of the, mafia . of Petroslno'g intended visit to Palermo. Three hundred ' Camorrists are tightly entangled in the police drag net and all will be placed on trial. Revenge, the Investigation dis closed, was the principal motive for the murder of Pet rosino. In 1906 Alfano eluded the surveillance under which he had been placed in Naples on account of a murder of which he was suspected -and was believed to have gone to New York. Petrosino was notified and' inves tigation showed that Alfano was rosily in New York City. Petrosino said nothing to the.mem bers of his staff, but sent them to visit the haunt where he suspected Alfano to be. The next day one of his detectives reported that Alfano had been seen. On April 7, 1907, Petrosino ordered the place raided. Alfano was arrested and in a few days he was on his way back to Na ples. There he was turned over to the Italian royal police, who were waiting to take him back to Italy. That raid and Alfiano's arrest (Continued on Page Six.) PRESIDENT DIAZ -CENTES OF THE STAGE (By Leased Wire to The Times) Mexico City, Sept. 12 President Diaz held the center of" the stage to day in the ceremonies of the natiqnal centennial celebration of Mexico. He officiated at the dedication oflhe new normal school for men this morning and delivered a speech. A commemorative tablet was paced in MtnerU Palace in honor of the students who participated in the war for independence. Some of the foreign representa tives to the. celebration were late in arising' today, due to the? fact that the ' grand opera performance last night, which was attended by the visiting delegations, did not come to a close until dawn this morning; Council of Red Men. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Toledo,' O., Sept. 12 Mayor Brand Whitlock today allowed the delegates to the 63rd national convention of the Counell of Red Men of the United States who opened a four days con vention here.

J THE CONGRESS OVER Thousands of Visitors Getting Out of Montreal Estimated That 200 OOO Visitors Slept Out of Doors Last Night and it Will Require Two or Three Days .For Trains to Handle the Entire ' Crowd. ..".''; (By Leased Wire to The' Times) Montreal, Sept. 2 More than one hundred thousand visitors, drawn here by the twenty-first internation al Eucharlstic Congress, struggled to leave Montreal today hut it will be several days before this is again completely a city of the laity. Cardinal Vannutel.i, the papal le gate, who will remain here until Wed nesday night, said today that he had been deeply affected by the attest atlons of loyalty and devotion to the church of Rome by the people of North America. "I send my greetings to the people of the United States," said he. "I have been particularly delighted at the great numbers which came to this city from the United States for the congress which has just closed. It Is particularly gratifying to find the cordial attitude of friendship on the part of those who are not of our faith. The Holy Father will be pleased to learn of the success of the congress. I am anticipating a delightful trip into the United States." Clerics of high order today express ed great pleasure at the manner in which the, congress has been carried out. There was no single untoward incident during the entire session. The first Eucharistlc congress ever held In America was so successful, in fact, that Cardinal Gibbons and other churchmen of high rank have renewed their hopes of a congress being held in the United States at the first available opportunity. The next congress wiy be, held in Seville, Spain: In li2, at Vienna; In 19t3', In Lyons, France, and in 1914 pos sibly in the United States. It is a notable fact, greatly commented on here today, that the administration officers selected those countries, for the ensueing meetings of the congress where the church of Rome has been meeting with difficulties. The ecclesiastical representation commenced, leaving today, although the outpouring of visitors was so great that railroad officials were al most totally unable to cope with the situation. : ' " . Mgr. Heylan, bishop of Namur and permanent president of the Eucharis tlc congress committee, stated today that his trip here had been one of the . most pleasant episodes of his life. "There has never been a congress more succesful than the one which closed yesterday," said he with en thusiasm. "It shows the wondrous strides which the church of Rome Is making in North America." It is estimated that nearly 200,- 00 persons slept on the slopes of Mount Royal last night.- Early to day the streets of the city were astir with ., those who sought to leave. With the gold and white papal colors fluttering above the house-tops and the city beneath, amove with messes of people Montreal typified a relig ious zeal which has been evidenced in colossal gatherings at worship during the past ten days. Visitors from American cities were given preference today iu book ing railroad reservations. Even with scores of special trains moving out of the city it was evident that many would be compelled to sleep outdoors again tonight. RAILROAD OFFICIAL IN RATE HEARING New York, Sept. 12 J. B. Thayer, third vice-president of the Pennsyl vania Railroad officials, took the stand today ' In the freight rates hearing which is being held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel In this city. Mr. Thayer told how the advance of freight rates had been discussed at a conference' of railroad men as far back as 1908. He said that the railroad of ficials had agreed then that business and financial conditions werevln such shape that; it would not be policy to put the advance Into effect. Conse quently it Tasgreed to postpone con certed rate raising until the more pro- pltuous occasion which came this year. John S. Dawson, counsel to the hoard of railroad commissioners of Kansas, arrived today. W. D. Haynle, repre senting the Illinois Manufacturing As sociation, made an address before the evaminers explaining the attitude of his clients. ..

(By Leased Wire" to The Times) New York, Sept. i 2 New ammu nition, consisting of the ledgers of the great Wall slreet brokerage firm of ,T. S. 'Bache &. Company, which may lend a darker shade to New York state's graft scandals, which are be ing investigated here by a legislative committee, will either be in the minds of the commission before night or else the criminal law will be nvoked, according to the plan in ef tect today to mount this obstacle. 1 he brokerage firm of J. S. Bache A- Company, whose books were refus ed to the commission by Leopold Bacae, was given until noon today to deliver the ledgers for the years of 1900 and 1 HOC to the committee. 1 he probers hope to learn from these books how much, if any, money was deposited with this firm to the (ledit of members of the New York state assembly In consideration for duties pertormed at Albany and how much was paid out and to whom. District Attorney Whitman an nounced this morning that he was prepared to carry the case against Bache k Company to the grand Jury at u. moments notice. He explained that it was an offense under the penal cone of the state for the firm to refuse to surrender their books under the present conditions. Coun sel lor tne Wall street firm have been devising ways and means to circum vent the order of the committee and it was reported, that the books would not be turned over without a bitter fight, ' :' ' '.';.'.'' " .':.;' . ' -v-; The books of J. S. Bache & Com pany may add a brand new chapter of revelations and it is likely that new names will be brought Into the ex posures it these ledgers are given over to tue committee for use. The transactions of "Gene" Woods, erstwhile king of the New York lob by, who has been abroad since the in surance investigation and of his lieu tenant, VViliam H. Buckley, who has been sojourning in Canada since the Hotchkiss investigation, are expected to be shown in illuminating detail bv the Hac;ie books. The committee did not convene to day and there will be no session to morrow but Attorney M. Linn Bruce, chief counsel tor the probers, is ex tremely active attempting to get new testimony and find new trails which will be uncovered when the sessions are resumed on Wednesday. The close intimacy of members of. the black horse cavalry" and Wall street hrins and the - previous' evidence winch snows that Wall street broker age houses acted as agents tor the distribution ot money among members ol the assembly led to the prediction today that only half of the real story lias been unfolded. W lth the books of the firm of haclie & Company before the commit tee, tne probers believe that they will be enabled to discover new prin cipals in the legislative treachery. Names of former members of the sseuihlv, now dead or retired from active politics, will undoubtedly be brought forward and old transac tions, all but forgotten, will be spread in cold print upon the record ot the committee's work. The insistence with which the firm of Bache & Company has refused to allow its hooks to be made public has only added to the persistency of the probers to get hold of them. (By Cable to The Times.)

THE HUNGER (By Leased Wire to The Times) Kansas rity, Mo., Sept. 12 "The only self respecting thing we could do was to prepare the Balllnger report ' and to make it public at this time," said Representative K. H. Madison, of Kansas, on his way from Minneapolis to his home In Dodge City. Mr. Mad ison was the pivotal member of the Balllnger committee as represented in Minneapolis. Neither the democrats nor the other republicans could act without him. "The action of the opposing members was arbitrary, unparliamentary and unjust," Mr. Madison said. "Neither I irnr those with whom I cooperated had any disposition to take advantage of the fact that four members were absent, and so far as I know there was no notice that there would be ab sentees. ; "It Is significant that the secretary of the committee attended all sessions and made full minutes of our work. Also, bear in mind, the chairman had ruled that although we had had no power to do anything else, we did have the power to adjourn. Well, we hav adjourned to December 3. The other members of the committee, without re. guard for this adjournment, will be Irregular, according to Chairman Net son's own rulings. "I regret that the session of the committee has ended In this manner but I feel that we have discharged bur duty In the only way It could be dis charged under the existing clrcumv stances." i
