MARKED BY MAFIAS.
BOSTON ITALIANS WHOM THEIR coUN.
TRYMEN HAVE SWORN TO KILL.

Policeman One of the Intended Victims
Man Who Helped to Bring Murderer
TO Justice Another-The Plans and Plots
ofthe League of WouId. Be Assassins.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
BOSTON, August 1.-The Italian Mafias
have marked two of their countrymen in
Boston for ASSASSINATION, and already efforts
have been made 10 carry out the edicts of
the order, but the victims have thus fsr es-
capped. One is Policeman John Rosatto, of
Station 1, who has been largely instru-
mental in bringing several Italian
criminals to justice. He is an Italian
himself and knows all the secrets of
his countrymen. The other victim for
whom the stiletto is ready is GoachIni Coo
chiara, one of the Italians who was arrested
in connection with the murder of Million
aire Edward Cunningham, of Milton, eight
months ago. Policeman Rosatto incurred
the vengeance of the Mafas by tracking
down an Italian murderer named Donate, a
year and half ago.
Donate undertook to rob house near
Genoa, Italy, but was discovered by a
woman in the house. She started after him
but was stopped by several thrusts with the
stilleto, which eventually caused her death.
Her husband came to the rescue and he was
stabbed through the heart. Donate fed to
this country and was arrested by Captain
Cain and Policeman Rosatto, in this city,
and sent back to Italy.
The first of the two condemned men to
meet death will probably be Cocchiara, as
the Mafas have evinced the greatest deter
mination to dispose OF him. Their animos-
ity toward Cocchiara is due to the part he
took in the conviction OF Giuseppe de Lucca,
who shot and killed Millionaire Cunning
ham while engaged in poaching on his
grounds. The Mafas, after the
trial of De Lucca and his
sentence to prison for Is years,
made up their minds that Cocchiara had
turned traitor and informer and was to
blame for the arrest of De Lucca by giving
information to the police. They also be-
lieved that Cocchiara had secured the 50, 800
reward offered for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer. 1t was decided to kill
Cocchiara. This much is known, but no
one save the Maias are aware who has been
selected to do the work. Cocchiara
has been notified to leave Boston on
penalty of being killed, but he is man who
fears no one. Three times have the Mafas
arranged a plan to kill him, but he is we'll
up in their tricks, and the Mafias dropped
the matter then to await better oppor-
tunity.

STILL ANOTHER.
The Long Series Of Local Test Cases
Remains Unbroken.
SOME VERY PLAIN FACTS.

For many reasons it was a notable inter-
view that the writer had with Mr.. Joseph
Marsh, residing at 3O3 Renfrew street. In
the first place Mr.. Marsh is we'll known and
very popular smong the citizens of the East
End. and his story will be Of great interest
to them, as well as to the general public.
The interview is notable in the second place
for the remarkable experience it describes.
During a recent interview with the writer,
Mr.. Marsh said:
eight years ago contracted the wboop-
ing cough. Although to all appearances L
got rid OF it, the bad effects were still left in
my system, and for many years I have not
known what it was to enjoy really well
day. That may sound strange, but it is the
case.
sat first it was not very bad. Cold fol-
lowed cold. however, and soon 1 found the
slight trouble had grown to a serious mat
ter. My head and nose were constantly
stopped up. had dull, heavy pain in
my forehead directly over my eye. There
were roaring and buzzIng noises in my ears.

PRETTY LASsEs AT THE HELM.
How Girls Are Helping the Peoples MunIci-

How Girls Are Helping the Peoples MunIci-
pal League in New York.
NEW YORK, August 1.-The headquar-
tiers of the Peoples Municipal League have
been formally opened in the annex to the
Victoria Hotel with Mr. Oliver Sumner
Teall in charge. The arrangement of these
headquarters and the method of conducting
business are something novel in local poll
tics. Nearly all the employees are girls, and
they are SO young and neat and pretty that
the place has more the appearance OF a
boarding school for young ladies than po-
litical machine.
II selected these girls" said Mr.. Teall,
because they do their work better than men.
They are all eminent1y respectable, and, as
anyone can see, they are good look
ing and well dressed. Unlike the
ordinary employees of political machines,
they have been appointed solely for their
ability and not through any political pull.
They do their work thoroughly and expe-
ditiously, and have already made great
headway with the labor of the campaign.
We started out with 81 900 names that we
had enrolled in the ballot reform move
ment, and we have added "a, 600 others, so
that we have $1,000 names already. We
recognize the fact that we have go. to fight
organization with organization, and We are
sparIng neither pains nor labor to make our
organization as complete as possible. There
is no individual interest being subserved
here. Nobody has been considered or dis
cussed as candidate for any position. Thus
far we are only perfecting our arrangements
for the coming campaign"
The headquarters occupy the entire Sec
ond floor OF the Victoria Annex, and the
80 pretty girls are distributed among the
various departments, the majority OF them,
however, being in the addressing and type
writing departments. Each department
has masculine head.

The road will be built so that the power
can be easily changed if the storage battery
system is proven a success. Just what
system will be adopted has not been given
out by the company.
The boiler house, directly back of the
power house, will be 116x50 feet. and back
of that will be located a machine shop 100x
100 feet. Adjoining the machine shop a
coal shed will be built, 50x100 feet. This is
to be used in case the gas supply plays out.
To the left of the power house will be built
a mammoth new car shed, 360x59 feet.
The Offices of the company will be located
in the front of the new car shed on each side
of the entrance and will be beautifully fur
nished.
The two spans of the new bridge are in
place and the bridge will be done ready for
use by the time the road is finished. The
road will be completed in about two months.
1t is promised that enough cars will be put
on to accommodate all patrons without stand
ing.

Time to Call a HnIt.

What surprises most people is that policy
so disastrous and short-sighted should be
persisted in SO long. Every day the attend
ance and the interest of the meeting and
even the value OF the betting and other
privileges have been suffering until on
Tuesday the climax was reached when in
one of the races there was not S25 put up at
all the 20 stands, not one-tenth as much as
is customarily taken on an orc mary race
by single book-maker. Had it noe been
for the Little Jim arrangement there was
not book-maker on the track who would
have made enough to cover the S10O paid
for the days privilege to the association.
As they have seen time displayed that was
erroneous and witnessed proceedings in race
alter race that on the English turf would
not be tolerated for an instant, people have
asked, Where are the managers of the asso-
citation? Why are there not stewards as at
Sheepshead Bay? and wondered how long
the thing was going to continue. 1t is
now time or somebody to act if Mon
mouth Park is to be saved from a reputation
which will do it incalculable injury. 1t is
known that Mr.. Cassatt only consented to
become President OF the association on con-
dition thatevery restriction should be thrown
around races to make them as lair as possi-
bic. 1t is stated by friends of Mr.. Cassatt
that the principal reason that led him to
give up racing horses himself was that ne
would not. under any circumstances, allow
a horse Of his in a race to be pulled. When
ever he put horse in he put him in to win.
The public has confidence in men like Mr..
Cassatt and Mr.. Belmont and believe that
when they have horses in race they are in
on their merits and meant to do the best they
can. This feeling of confidence in the fair
ness OF running races has had a sad setback
at Monmouth Park within the past few
weeks. Thousands Of dollars have been bet
and lost by the innocent public on horses
that were never intended to win, and to those
on the inside it was as well known as any
thing can be known that horses that lost to-
day were fixed to win tomorrow, and vice
versa.

A PECULIAR DISEASE.
Sunday Sickness, Its Symptoms and
the Method of Curing It.
SMALL ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH.
Members as Well as Pastors Now Taking a
Summer Vacation.
GLEANlNGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

When preachers banker for rest, as they
do at this season of the year, the flock can
hardly be condemned for. doing likewise.
With the mercury travelling above the 80
mark the inducements for church going are
hardly as strong as when the temperature is
more moderate. And when the regular
shepherd is taking in ocean or mountain
breezes, the part of the flock, which by
necessity is compelled to stay by the stuff,
can readily find excuses for absence from
church when a strange preacher fills the
pulpit. What with camp meetings, water
ing places and hot weather the stay-at-home
preacher meets with slim congregations, as q
rule, these dog days.
THE ABSENT BRETHREN.
There are not few churches in this city,
of which large proportion of the member
ship are absent from the city during the
months of July and August. Some churches
take advantage of the summer lull to clean
and renovate It has come to be understood
that the pastor is to have his rest at this
season of the year, and most Of the churches
stipulate this when the bond is made. In
the line OF absenteeism from church services
the following from the Church Messenger,
is suggestive. Under the title "Morlus
Sabbatieus. or Sunday Sickness" this paper
thus discusses one of the prevalent types of
modern spiritual degeneracy: '"The attack
comes on suddenly every Sunday; no symp-
toms are felt ON Saturday night; the patient
sleeps we'll and awakes feeling we'll; eats
hearty breakfast, but about church time the
attack comes on and continues until the
services are over for the morning"
THE DISEASE AND ITS REMEDY.
Then the patient feels easy and eats a
hearty dinner. In the afternoon he feels
much better, and is able to take walk, talk
politics and read the Sunday papers; he eats
a hearty supper, but about church time he
has another attack and stays at home. He
retires early, sleeps well and wakes Monday
morning refreshed, and able to 60 to work,
and does not have any symptoms of the dis
ease till the following Sunday.
The peculiar features of the disease are as
follows: Q) 1t always attacks members of
the church. (2) 1t never makes its appear
ance except on the Sabbath. (3) The symp-
toms vary, but 1t never interferes with the
sleep or appetite. (4) 1t never lasts more
than "a hours. (5) 1t generally attacks the
head of the family. (6) No physician is
ever called. CD 1t always proves fatal in
the end-to the soul. (S) No remedy is
known for it except prayer. (9) Religion
is the only antidote. (f0) 1t is becoming
fesrfully prevalent, and is sweeping thous-
ands every year prematurely to destruction"

1t can be said, "Well, if the public bet

pect that every woman-and there are as

them betting as men-must 20 into the

and whether the owner Of the horses has in
structed the jockey to win or lose on that
day. The men who do go into tine stables
and see the horses are no better OF, for the
horse may be at his best, but it the jockey
is ordered not to win, and the owner bets
against his own horse, as has been done con-
tinually, what does the condition Of the
horse matter? When it provides facilities
for betting and protects the bookmakers
against the law, as it has done, the associa-
tion should see to it that the races are run
on their merits. ~
There is no more extraordinary record in
the annals of the turf than the series of
tables which have been taken through indl-
vidual effort for the New York Sporting
World and for the book-makers, which
shows the position of every horse in every
race at the critical points in the race. The
public can see nothing of this, owing to the
construction of the track, but the record is
one OF preposterous starts, of gerrymander-
ing and Jockeying along the way and Of fin-
lshes that often look as if they were re-
hearsed. 1t is notable, for instance, that in
races like that of the first on Tuesday, in
which there were but few horses, they won
as they started, though why all the starts
should be bad ones until certain horses
started ahead it would be hard to say. But
there was nothing in the condition Of the
horse to explain why, for instance, in the
second race, in which there were IL horses,
Wendaway should start second in the lead
and before running quarter of mile be
passed by six horses, at least four Of which
were BY no means his equals. No fair per-
son who is at all familiar with the horses
doubts that Wendaway could have won that
race if it had been his day to win.

What is Needed.

On Monday there was an attempt at an
investigation of the queer running of Senti-
ment at previous race, and there is also to
be an investigation of the running of Cap
tain Browns horse Reporter, but if investi-
cations are to be the order of the day, it is
difficult to see where beginning is to be
made, or where it will end.
What is needed is to give the word out at
headquarters in a way that will not be mis-
understood that horses must be put in races
to win; that owners entering two horses
must declare one; that no bookmaker shall
have an ownership interest in any horse in q
race, and that there must be fair play all
around. If this is done there will soon be a
healthier atmosphere around Monmo nth
Park.
