Time. where, are now under survellaitce and reported to the authorities of all the lending nations. The system under which this esplon sge Is maintained was organised by John Wilkie, chief of the United States secret service, and It waa responsible for the prompt apprehension and arrest of the Italian anarchist who recently left Patterson to attempt the life of King Victor Emanuel of Italy. The plotter was shadowed • from the time he left the New Jersey hot bed of anarchism, through England, France and Swltaerland, and the moment he set foot on Italian soil waa arrested. About four years ago Chlsf Wilkie disappeared from Washington. He waa absent four or five monjhs, travel ing through Eurpoe. He visited every Important city on the continent and secured the co-operation of the police and national authorities In a compre hensive plan for keeping track of dan gerous anarchists. The proposition grew out of the as sassination of President McKinley and It Is wholly tha Idea of American offi cials. Mr. Wilkie evolved the details of the scheme under which the au thorities of each country get 4nto as close touch as possible with the local "reds.” The newa of the plotters, de scriptions of the leaders and other de tails are prepared In convenient form and sent to the proper officials In every foreign country Interested, t’hlaf Wil kie gets this Information In the Unltsd Stetee. The national government has means of knowing what tha Patoraon anar chists are about. The anarchists have no Idea that their plans and movements are regularly reported to Washington, and In turn are sent to foreign officers.
