NEW YORK FEARS
THE BLACK HAND
Italy's Criminality Rife in Goth.
am and Aid Of Government
Will Be Invoked.
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, Aug. 15.-Conling as
climax to a long series of crimes Of
violence and craft, the kidnapping Of
8-year-old Antonio Manino from his
home in Brooklyn by a band of Ital-
liam desperadoes has aroused a pitch
of interest seldom evinced in this
community, where so much lawless-
ness-picturesque or sordid-is daily
chronicled Everywhere that men
and women meet it is chief topic Of
conversation.
It is not SO much the setting of the
crime, tho that is sufficiently theat-
rical, nor the widespread sympathy
for the boy and his bereft parents,
that has caused the unusual public
interest in the case. It Is the won
der where all this imported crimi-
nality is leading to, and the half fear
that the bands Of BLACK Hands" and
the Malta, emboldened by the failure
Of police efforts to suppress them or
protect their homes, may widen their
fields Of operation, heretofore re-
stricted to their own countrymen.
It seems to the average New Y ork
er as If the worst feature Of Italy's
most lawless districts were to be
grated upon orderly New ork, which
Is unable to deal with this growth Of
exotic crime.
The offenses that have been COM
mitted of late by organized bands Of
Italians here are not all crimes Of ex-
| tortion. Besides kidnapping and
| threats of murder, counterfeiting and
the stealing or forging of thousands
Of citizenship papers are laid to them.
The result has been great and I'M
| just cry against Italians in general.
| Nobody feels this more keenly than
| do the many law-abiding Italians who
| live In the city and it's Immediate vi
| cinity.
| Washington is to be appealed to.
| There is a clamor that the immigra-
ton laws be more rigidly enforced,
and Ellis Island authorities will be
asked to scrutinize more carefully the
papers of the Italians who come to
this country to seek permanent homes.
That many convicts have been able
to enter this country there can be no
doubt. For this, congress will be ap-
pealed to to enact new laws which.
it is hoped, will prevent the importa-
ton of criminal aliens.
While Captain Rooney and the de-
tectives who have been at work on
the Manic kidnapping case from the
beginning, will not say openly that
they believe the boy will never be
restored to his parents alive, ye1
among themselves they do not hest
tate to whisper their fears. Nobody
knows better than do Captain Roo.
ney and Detective Sergeant Antonio
Vachris the desperate character OF
the kidnappers.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 15.-Carberry
was aroused this morning at o'clock
by an alarm of fire in the Gilmore
block. 1t was soon found that all
chance of saving the building was
gone, and the brigade devoted it's at
tention to the adjoining property.
The fire was only checked at the
Western hotel block, having burned
Gilmore's general store, Rowe's tailor
shop, the Richardson Jewe1ry COM
pany's store and the Misses Jones &
Dundas' grocery. The Western hotel
and Mack's stable were in danger for
three hours, but were save by the high
walls of the Sickle hall standing firm
until the building was completely gut
ted.
There were several narrow escapes
from falling walls. The total prop
erty loss is $4,000, and the insurance
about $4,000.
A young man supposed to be Peter
Durell of Forestburg, or Mitchell, S.
D., was killed on the tracks at Wolse-
ley, N. w. T., this morning while rid
ing the blind baggage.

Special to The Journal
Helena, Mont, Aug. 15.-Heavy
forest fires are raging in the hills
around Bonita, Missoula county. The
fire started four days ago and has
spread with rapidity over a vast terri
tory, causing great damage. For two
or three days from rs to 100 men have
been fighting it, but without any APP
parent success.
A sawmill camp near McMullen had
to be abandoned owing to the close
proximity of the fire, which came
within a few feet Of the cookhouse.
Some Of the employees were badly
scorched in fighting the flames.
T. s. Stires, storekeeper and con-
tractor at Bonita, is reported to have
lost upwards Of 1000 ties already and
more are said to be in the hills, where
the fires are raging also. In the
neighborhood of Bearmouth fierce
fires are burning and tiemaker
named Morgan is reported to have
suffered loss Of 5000 ties.

WILSON WILL WAR
ON PINE BEETLE.
SECRETARY IMPRESSED WITH
CONDITIONS IN THE HILLS.
Efforts Will Be Made to Find a Tree to
Take the Place of the Pine De-
stroyed ~ Eyes of the Secretary
Opened to the Possibilities Of the
Tin Industry.
Special to The journal.

Deadwood, s. D., Aug. 15.-The
visit to the Black Hills Of Secretary
Wilson is one of the most irnportant
TRIPS TO THIS country ever made by a. |
government official. In company
with Captain seth Bullock, forest SUI
pine forest district making careful ex-
aminations of the present condition
of the reserve. He found that several
hundred million feet of pine timber
We're destroyed already by the pine
beetle. To prevent its future devasta-
ton he proposes to commence imme-
diately upon his arrival in Washing
ton a series of experiments to find IL
possible a way for destroying the in
sects.
The secretary estimates that the
Black Hills Will be producing gold
order to keep the mines in operation
there must be an abundance of pine
timber. He will also begin MAKING
experiments to find tree with which
to replant the destroyed districts. He
believes It Will be possible, in all
which will in a short time furnish an
abundance of timber. Captain Bull
lock, three years ago, distributed a
great many pine seeds over one or two
of the burned districts, throwing the
seed on the snow early in the spring.
are the result. Secretary Wilson ex-
poets to have the destroyed districts
replanted in time to take the place of
the present standing timber.
Should the pine seed be found to be
the best to replant, he expects next
spring to have several carloads of
seed on hand.
| Another important addition to the
forest reserve will be the installing Of
a wireless telegraph station in each
of the subdivisions of the reserve.
This is Captain Bullock's idea In
case of fire one subdivision can wire
to any part of the reserve and call in
help.
Captain Bullock says the Black
Hills soil is peculiarly adapted to the
reproduction Of the pine trees. Even
when fire has destroyed the fertility
of the soil, the second year the seeds
will begin to be carried upon the di-
trict and trees begin to grow. Most
Of the damage has been done by the
pine beetle which is still at work in all
parts of the Hills.
Secretary Wilson was presented
with a key Of tin taken from. the
linton mine in the Bear Gulch dis
trict. He will do all he can to adj
vance the interest of the tin industry
| in the Hills.
