IS BEING CLOSELY GUARDED Ex-President Qlvlng European Secret Service Polio* Concern on Account of Rumor# That Anarchists Are Dogging Him With Sinister Intent. Rome.?"What is known as the Paterson group of anarchists by the European secret police has agent* following Theodore Roosevelt for the purpose of assassinating him." Thia statement was made to correspondent Clement Archon by a man high in the Italian secret pollae, wTto had much to do in protecting the famous American while he was In Italy. The statement was made as the re suit ox the reported arrest of an anarchist at Chiaslo, Switzerland, under suspicious circumstances. About the time of Mr. Roosevelt's arrival at Khartoum, word was reeeived that anarchists had loft tHat country presumably for the purpose of doing harm to the noted traveler and the secret police were requested to take every possible precaution. Roosevelt Well GuardedNo more elaborate preparations for protection against assassination have ever been taken In Italy, even for the cssar of Russia, than have been taken in the case or Mr Kooseveit, and the same will bo the cane In nil the countries he travels In In Kurope It will bo next to impossible for pn assassin to get close enough to tee president to harm him. It is being ?nW that Mr. Roosevelt is an extremely difficult person to guard. He seems to be perfectly fearless, aud when in Italy took chances which gave those to whom was Intrusted the task of looking out tor his Bafety many an unhappy half hour. It is understood, however, that both he and his sor. have been Induced to arm themselves with automatic revolvers, and in case of troable they would be very likely to g!Ve a good account of themselves. To 8trlke Terror to Rulers. The Italian police declare the idea of assassination of Mr. Roosevelt ift solely to st-Ike terror to the hearts of the European rulers, and If the assaBBlcs are not able to accomplish their purpose before he embarks for America, he will not be molested.
