BANDITS IN SICILY
HOLDING THEIR OWN AGAINST MILITARY (Rec. 6.30) LONDON, Jan. 29 A “Times” correspondent' at Rome stated: Elaborate miltary operations are being conducted against separatist bandits in Sicily. The operations do not appear to be having a decisive effect. Shooting continues nightly in the hills between Palermo and Trapani. Bandits a few nights ago held up a train and robbed passengers of money and valuables. Bandits also attempted to seize a Palermo wireless station. The chief bandit in the Palermo district appears to be Builiani, who threatens to rival the Neapolitan Lamarca in popularity. He treated the women in the train hold’-up with great, gallantry, and, in an interview with an Italian journalist, who was a passenger on the train, he showed himself a person of some education.
