Italian Carpenter Separates
Pacifist from His Whiskers; Now He s Hero of the Nation
ROME, Aug. 7. The fashionable
crowd at the cafe on the Corso Urnberto were gazing up at the huge screen on the ' building opposite, where pictures of the celebrities of
the day, Cordona, Sonnino, Joffre, Wil
son, Lloyd-George were being thrown on the screen. It is the chief diversion these hot afternoons.
Joffre was popular and Wilson had his Admirers. Then came the picture of a man with a great beard. This caused tremendous laughter. But the very climax of demonstrative, approval came when the picture of a thin-faced man with a workman's cap on his head was thrown on the screen. There was a huge ovation for this strange face. "And who is the man with the beard?" asked the American visitor. "Why, that is Maffle. Is it possible you don't know Maffle?" "And who is the man in the workman's cap? "That is the carpenter, Tordelli. You don't mean to say you haven't heard of Tordelli? They are the great Italian characters of the day." Maffle is a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies who made a speech in favor of peace, saying it was really not to Italy's Interest to carry on the war. Tordelli was for war, and felt that the peace speech must be rebuked. He accordingly
waylaid Maffle on. the tramway as he
came from the Chamber. Maffle had an enormous beard which was his
pride and best known characteristic.
As Maffle stepped on the car, Tor
delli deftly operated a pair of scissors before the surprised deputy knew
what was happening. Then with a
shock of beard in-his hand Tordelli
disappeared while Maffle was left
beardless. ..
Tordelli was arrested and his trial
soon began. All Rome became inter
ested, the question of peace and war divided sentiment into two camps. When the trial came all Italy awaited the fate of the carpented. He pro
duced the beard at the trial, and it
was duly entered by the court as an
exhibit.
Thereupon Maffle applied for the return of the beard, but the c6urt
held it bad been separated from him
and was now in possession of the
state. Tordelli suddenly became a
popular hero, as defender of the war, while Maffle had champions for his cause and his beard. Their pictures
are the features of all screens.

PETROGRAD, June. 80. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Thirtyrthree long lists of spies, informers and agents provocateurs in exEmperor Nicholas' pay have been published ty the Commission for securing the New System of Government, appointed by the provisional government immediately, after the revolution. Fifty more lists may be expected. The total number of these secret legionaries of autocracy is expected to reach 80,000. Those whose guilt is beyond doubt 1iave been put in jail, but it is not yet settled whether they willl be tried and punished or merely kept In jail until all peril of a reactionary counter-revolution has passed. The commission's report depict pre
cisely the same system of espionage ajid state provocation to crime as flourished la Turkey under Abdul
wamid II. The distinction is that Abdul H&mid ran has spy and provo
cation system directly from the Yildia
Kiosk, whereas Nicholas entrusted his 6ystem to the notorious "Okhrannoe
Otdielenlei," or security department,
which occupied a big building in the
Basil ostrov district. .
Secret Papers Seized. The first act of the triumphant rev-
olutlonaries was to seize the security department's secret papers. . Many of
these were burned in bonfires outside
the building. The more precious documents especially those relating to the
state organization of crime, had been kept in safes, and they escaped destruction.
The revolutionaries also seized tens
of thousands of secret records in the departments provincial office, and from these, backed by Confessions of imprisoned spies, are being compiled the lists, the list will be followed by a five-volume bfficial "history of espionage under Nicholas II."
As revealed by these inquiries, au
tocracy's spies and informers were
much less picturesque and romantic when they appear in the typical "Nihilist novel.". Most belonged to the more Intelligent working class. or to the minor Bourgeoisie. They were paid badly, the average wage for organizing political crime or betraying accomplices being $20 a month. Joined-Radical -Societies. The spies were usually, instructed to become members of secret revolutionary Or terrorist organizations, among these being the socialist democratic party, the social revolutionaries with their "fighting committee," the populist socialists and the Maximalists. On nearly every newspaper was at least one spy. The spies took part in committee meeting, Incited to breach of the political repression laws or to actual crime, and kept the security department well informed. Every spy had a "klitchka" or nickname by which he was known to the police. The departments records bristle with such nicknames as "fatty," "longnose," "Sunday bdy," "elephant" and "arsenic." The spy had also two or three fake surnames, and he often changed his town and name when he fell under the revolutionaries' suspicion. ' Many Turned Spies. Many spies and informers (like the famous Father Gapon, whose treachery on Bloody Sunday, 1905, led to his being hanged by a revolutionary engineer) were at one time genuine revolutionaries and became later betrayers and informers. Some seem to have served both
sides honestly and earned the approval of both, and some do not seem to
l have known which side they sympath
ized with. A notable case is "frukhanoff" real name Nikitin, nickname "Perky" who aroused the suspicion of his Terrorist comrades, was threatened by them-with execution, and to

Paid to Fire at Governor. For blood money of $150 a mechanic was hired by the department to fire at General Djunkowski, governor of Moscow, but he was instructed to be sure to miss. He executed his instructions precisely, but through carelessness killed a passerby. In violation of the Nihilit novel tradation, very few women were employed as spies or informers, but a few noted cases have been exposd. In Moscow three sisters named Palitsin betrayed scores of workmen, after getting confessions from them by means of simulating love. The commission's lists show that the department was a hard task maker In addition to paying its spies badly, it spied on them. Every security department record coaains a note of the spy's history. Some ar described as "moderately good" others as "indifferent," others as having "betrayed many revolutionaries," others as "energetic bnt unreliable" and others as "doubtful, should be watched."
