Lawless Gangs In London To Be Routed by Police.

Outlaws have been terrorizing London. They are an anarchitic sort and so thorough has their organization been that the efforts of the polic * have failed to secure the ring leaders until Tuesday, when a pitched battle was held between anarchists and the police. To defeat the anarchists a building they occupied was burned to the ground and Peter the Painter and Duteh Fritz, two leadera of the worst gang London has had, were burned up. The police now propose to go after the criminal class with a greater vigor than heretofore. England has had very lax Immigration laws and London is said to harbor a class of the worst outlaws from all foreign countries that have found it easy to gather there and avoid contact with the police while engaging in many channels of lawlessness.
