Police Stirred Up Over the
Complaint Of Bustzen
Bertline Who Has Re-
ceived Threatening Let

DEMAND MADE FOR $500.
UNLESS THE AMOUNT is YIELD

DOG MUST DIE-MRs. BENT
B LINE SCENTS A JOKE.

The police Of West Hoboken. which,
next to Paterson lis a hot bed of an
archy and a rendezvous for members
of the Italian Black Hand Society in
this county, are stirred up over the COM
plant Of Bustgen Bentline, who recently
received a letter written in red ink or
blood-the police of the township have
not been able to find out which. Bent
line recently received such letter sign
/ ed by big black hand. 1t reads as
follows:
Unless you deposit 5000 in a sealed
envelope under the stoop of your alley
way before twelve o'clock midnight Sat
urday, you and your pet dog are DOOM

The dog in question is magnificent
species Of the Irish setter Master and
dbg are inseparable companions On ac-
count of the dogs sagacious instinct to
always find his master. Bentline nick
named him Rubber" name which his
'sllrish settership" seemed to appreciate.
Mrs. Bentline looks upon the blood
thirsty letter as joke. She thinks it
was written by some of the many friends
of her husband in a codding spirit New
ertheless she telephoned to Brooklyn for
their eldest son, Harry, and he came
over yesterday and made complex
round of his fathers hanging out
places and acquaintances. He was not
satisfied, and it was only after his in
vestigation that it was decided to report
the matter to the police
That some of the foreign-born element
Of our population is engaged in black
mailing schemes has already been
brought TO light in ordinary criminal
court cases.
1t is not believed by the West Hoboken
police that Bentline is really victim of
the Black Hand Society, but they scent
a scheme played upon the foreign-born

money from men and women who are
willing to work for those who consider

who are too good to work" On this line
the West Hoboken police are workir .
They have no fear of Black Hand So
ciety, even if the town is composed of so
many foreigners. In this work they have
done good work in the past and Capt
Usher can be relied upon to Garry the
war into Africa if necessary.

i.and as an entertainer he is "all to the
good. Charles McDevitt as buck
and wing performer was -all to the mus

nancial end of the outing, performed
their duties in a manner which gained
for them the admiration of all present
They worked hard all day looking after
the wants of everyone. When the grove
was reached the first order of business
was the settling of the championship of
baseball between the two houses.
Each team had viet2ry to tis
credit, and Yesterdays game was the
final. The News team won By a score
of 16 to /, and made their opponents
look like lot of schoolboys who never
played baseball before. At the conclu-
sion of the game dinner was served. and
it was fine one at that Then came
the field sports, which were hotly con-
tested for in every event. as handsome
prize was given each winner.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Some of the membtrs Of the John J,
Heavey Association, which was formed
for the purpose of further.ng the candle
dacy of Mr.. Heavey for the Democratic
nomination for Sheriff. do not approve
the Under-Sherif's action in accepting
his defeat at the primaries and coming
out for Seymour and the rest Of the tick
ct. Alexander Simpson. who attached
himself to the Heavey movement for no
other purpose than to air his grievances
against the Democratic leader who would
not keep him in his job as counsel to the
Board of Health, thinks Mr.. Heavey
should have carried the fight to the polls.
Simpson has advised that. the Heaveyites
support Fagan and Kaiser 1t is not
likely that they will pay any attention TO
anything Mr. Simpson may say.

of these gentlemen cares to receive the
assessments this year If they accepted
them they would be bound by the rules
of the, County Committee to hand them

Simpson will vote for Pagan and the
rest of the Republican ticket. The Dem
ocrats are TO be congratulated on his de-
fection. He will endeavor TO break his
way into the Republican ranks. but it is
