OFFER BY ITALY TO STOP MAFIA COMING An International Conference on Immigration Is Proposed. Washington, March 19 With a view to stopping members of the Mafia from ooming to the United States Baron Mayor des Planches, the Italian ambassador, lias made to Secretary of State Knox a suggestion for an international conference on immigration. The ambassador has submitted a memorandum on the subject, in which the views of Itaiy are set forth. This memorandum will be referred to the bureau of immigration for report. If appears that the proposition for an international immigration conference is the indirect result of the killing of Detective Petrosino of New York at Palermo.

King Victor Emmanuel is said to lie very much pained at the wholesale crimes committed by desperadoes from Italy and Sicily in the I'nited States and wishes to co operate with the United States in taking stringent meas tires to prevent members of the Mafia coming to the United States. It is believed that the conference will help the "good" Italian immigrants and will take into careful consideration the Black Hand and other such societies which contribute "bad" ijnuiigrants.

There was a famous poisoning case In England many years ago in which ti.e strong point of the defense was to show that the accused, who was an expert chemist, would not have used a poison which could be so easily found after it had been taken into the human system. Sir Robert Christeson, profegspr in Edinburgh university, a famous expert on toxicology, whose works are still standard on that subject, was put on the stand to prove this point. When he declared tbat a chemist would certainly use some poison which would leave no trace, the prosecuting attorney asked him if he meant to say that there were such poisons. Sir Robert replied in the affirmative. The prosecutor asked, "Name them!" "No!" shouted the judge.

"I forbid you to answer that question!" In spite of the protests of the prosecutor the judge would not allow the expert publicly to give the name of a poison which would leave no trace, and question remained unanswered. Now etimes the curious part of the story. During the next two years Sir Robert received more than 4,000 letters from all parts of the world asking, begging, offering to buy, the name of the untraceable poison alluded to in his testimony. Many of these he kept as curiosities, showing them to his friends as evidence of the depravity of human nature. Some of the excuses for wanting the name of the poison were very ingenious.

One mau was writing a novel based on a poison plot and wanted to make use of the untraceable poison idea. He did not want to give the name of the poison in bis book, but just wanted to have it by him in case any scientific critic should deny the possibility of such poisons, when he could send him the name in a private letter and quote the "distinguished authority" from whom it came, etc. Several persons profess ed to be studying chemistry and asked for the information on the ground of professional courtesy. To all such Sir Robert would send the advice to pursue their studies and they would soon know ras much aixmt it as he did. Many offered large sums of money for the secret, usually pretending they had bet still larger amounts that they could iind it out in a given time and were willing to share their profits liberally with Sir Robert.

The thing which most impressed Sir Robert was the number of persons all over the world who seemed desirous of possessing the secret of an agent that would kill, but leave no trace, and the amazing falsehoods to which they would subscribe their names in order to obtain the information. It is said that whatever poison Sir Robert had in mind at the trial he never mention ed it, not even to his classes, so strongly was he impressed with the danger of letting such a thing become matter of public knowledge.
