NEW ORLEANS MAYOR.
HE READS THE RIOT ACT TO TWO
OF THE MATTAS.
Lawlessness and Intimidation Must
Cease or the Offenders VIII be
SummariIy Dealt With.
Special to the SUNDAY uNrox.


New ORLEANS, May 16.-Yesterday
Henry Peters, stevedore, went to the
City Hall and complained to Mayor
Shakespeare that the Provenzanos were
interfering with him and intimidating
his laborers. He made affidavit, and the
ProvenZanos brothers were arrested and
held under $50, 600 bonds.
The Mayor sent for the Provezanos this
morning and said: II have sent for YOU
because this city has grown tired of the
intimidation and lawlessness you have
carried on. l want to give YOU a fair
chance and warning that this thing must
stop at once, and for all time. / know
well enough that you have long been at
the head of a disturbing element here,
that has been a menace to the peace of this
community. You know as well as do
the lnSlduOuS means by which YOU seek
to intimidate and frighten people. You
may not do your work openly, but you
find another and perhaps more effectual
way.
You have sought to foment trouble
here time and time again. Matranpa
comes to me and tells me that he cannot
pass Provenzano on the street with
out the latter splitting at him. Now.
there must be at once and forever an end
TO this. l am sick and tired of it. / tell
you, You must take your hands off, /
have issued orders to tho Chief of Police
that he use his entire force to prevent
you from carrying your designs into ex-
ecution.
81 am sorry that am obliged to go to
Denver. If could remain here l would
personally take command of the police
lore and use every means at my COM
nznd to wipe from the face of the earth
every member of your gang who tries to
raisa his hand against persons of this
&C munity. But my representatives
will act for me. This reign of terror
must stop, and if there is way possible
20 do il, il viii STOP
The Provenzanos left the hall without
saving more than to protest their inno-
ceuce.
