ANARCHISTS IN LONDON.

— » INQUESTS ON VICTIMS. DEAD MEN MEMBERS OF A GANG OF TWENTY-EIGHT. SUPPORTED VENDETTA. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyricht. London, January 6.

At tho inquest oil Morountzoff (alias Goldstein), one of tho men who assisted in the killing of three police and the wounding of two others at Houndsditch, and who was afterwards shot in mistake by one of his friends, Mrs. Ivatz, tho landlady at 59 Grovo Street, where MorountzefE died, identified one of tho arrested women, Milstein, as the mistress of "Fritz," who perished in tho building attacked by tho police oii Tuesday. Both "Fritz" and tho woman lived in Grovo Street. Trassjonsky, tho other arrested woman, visited them two or three times daily. Morountzeff was also a..visitor. In tho course of a sharp cross-ex-amination Katz, tho landlady's husband, admitted that he had heard rapping on a shutter and had let in Trassjonsky early on Saturday, December 17. TRUTH DIFFICULT TO GET. (Rcc. January 6, 10.25 p.m.) . London, January G. The Coroner strongly warned Katz for prevaricating, and withholding facts within his knowledge, and commented on tho difficulty of eliciting tho truth owing to local feeling. JS, DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED. < "f THE MURDER OF BERON. U (Rec. January 6, 11.5 p.m.) London, January 6. The "Daily Mail", states . that "Fritz's" dead companion, f knowiv.as' Joseen, has been identified : as' Jacob Fogel, aged 22, a native of 1 IvoVno, Russia. Ho had participated in several bank raids, and *,vas captured,, but escaped and camo to England in February, 1910.. Ho worked for tlireo months as a tailor and pressor; The "Daily Mail" adds that it is now known tha'j Morountzeff, "Fritz," and Fogel wero members of a gang of 28, which included 'women. Tho "Daily Telegraph" states that Boron, the man murdered at Clapham, was Russian born. Tho murder has the appearance of a vendetta, and- it is believed that tho man was killed lest ho should give information as. to the whereabouts of ■ "Fritz." Tho latter and his companion had changed their lodgings to 100 Sidney Street the morning after Boron's death.

WAS BERON A SPY? GTRANGE MUTILATION. London, January 5. At an inquest as .to the cause of death of Beron, the French- Jew, and a miser, who was murdered on Clapham Common a few days ago, Dr. Froyburger, and tho doctor who made the.po.stmor'cem examination, gave evidence that on each of tho man's cheeks thero was an "S," symmetrically, shaped, and reached from-the eyes to tho mouth. It was impossible that these marks wore accidental; they were undoubtedly signs that tho murder had been deliberately planned. Beron had received many stabs after being stunned.

It transpires that the dagger mark "S". made 011 Beron's cheeks stands in Polish for "Szpion," or "Spy."

NO WOUNDS, : SIDNEY STREET VICTIMS. London, January 5. Tho post-mortem'examination of tie bodies of "Fritz" and his companion, recovered from tho ruins of the buildings in Sidney Street, Stepney, attacked by the police on Tuesday, showed that there were no;bullets in either body, and no trace of wounds.

ALIENS IN BRITAIN. (Reo. January 6, p.m.) London, January 6. An alien who was sentenced to four months' imprisonment at Southampton in July and then' deported, was again sentenced at Southampton yesterday to a month's imprisonment and to deportation. as an incorrigible rogue., Mr. Temple Cooke, tho Recorder of Southampton, commented on ' tho lax administration of the law, adding that' it is monstrous to put the ratepayers to t-ho expense: of maintaining criminals and pauper aliens in prison or the workhouse.

RUSSIAN COMMENT. St. Petersburg, January 6. The Russian authorities are of opinion that it is essential that England should establish completer surveillauco of foreigners. Continental police dealing with anarchists are, they say, impeded by the immunity enjoyed iu England by members of anarchist organisations. ROYAL SYMPATHY. London, January 6. King George sent a messago of sympathy to Detective Leeson and tho others injured in the fight with the anarchists. Ho.earnestly inquired regarding their progress.

- "THE' ALIENS ACT.' . By the Act of 1905 it is forbidden to immigrants to land, except--at. ports where immigration officers are stationed. An immigrant is to be considered undesirable who cannot show that he is in a position decently to support himself and his dependents (it any); or who is a lunatic, idiot, or owing to any disease or infirmity, likely to become a charge on the rates,- or otherwise a detriment to the public; or who has been sentenced for a crime, not being an olfence of a political character, winch would bring him under the Extradition Act, 1870, or if ail expulsion order under this Act has been made. But an immigrant who proves that ho is seeking admission to the country to avoid persecution or- punishment on religious or political grounds is not to be refused admission on tho grounds merely of lack of means, nor is one who has been refused admission to another country -after' residence in tho United Kingdom, and has returned direct,-nor one who satisfies the immigration officer that ho was born in the United Kingdom, his father being a British subject. The Secretary of State may exempt any immigrant ships from the provisions of this section, if satisfied thai, a proper system is being maintained for preventing tho embarkation of undesirable aliens.
