BOSTON, April PA Mexican
plantation enterprise, divided into sew

out the country, is being denounced by
indignant stockholders here. Nearly
81, 900, 900 from more than the usual
number of widows ana orphans, with
good sprinkling of business men,
have dropped into the NAV of the
Consolidated United Plantation COM
pany.
Stockholders of the Ubero Planta
ton company have applied for a re-
ceiver, alleging that the stock was I'M
loaded on them as a result of fraudu
lent representations.
The panorama usually accompany
ing the prospectus shows how miles
of land were cultivated. In the first
place the pleasing pastoral scenery
existed only in the imagery of the ar
fist who made tine wash drawing. The
company store, the barn, the admin
istration building, managers office,
and pineapple cannery alone have been
erected. The others were erected by
pen and ink. Ten thousand dollars
may have been spent in Ubero, down
in Mexico.
William D. Owen and Ferdinand
Borges were the prime movers in this
latest example of nigh finance.
Owens home is in Indiana. He
served three terms in congress and
one as secretary of state. He was
preacher before he became interested
in politics and making money.
Ferdinand Borges was the master
mind in the operations that have
brought woe to SO many investors. He
has been known also as Ferdinand
Burgess, and was sent to the Pittsburg
workhouse in 1899 on a charge Of pet
ty swindling. He is a high roller, oc-
cupying sumptous apartments at the
fashionable Westminster. 1t is Borges'
boast that he always consulted good
lawyers before making any move.

who came from Messina five years ago,
had left a wife and children there. For the

Capt. Harkins said yesterday that as
far as his detectives had been able to ascer-
tain, Costa was not well to do, and that
he could not pay the 500 demanded Of
him. The detectives reported that all the

The police have a very poor description
OF two OF the four men who are supposed
to have FABRICATED in the murder. Al
though four shots were fired, Prazzo, whose
saloon is next door to the butcher shop
and who heard them, says that when he
reached the street he saw no one running
away.
James and Andrew Anderson, brothers, Of
200 Thirty-frst street, who were a block
away, heard the shots and ran toward
Costa's store. They saw four men run

were dressed In black, with slouch hats
pulled down over their eyes. The men
ran down Thirty-third street toward Third
avenue and disappeared in the darkness.
At the time 1t was raining heavily and only
q few people were on the streets.

The police believe that Gaetano Costa,
the Italian butcher who was murdered In
his shop at Fourth avenue and Thirty
third street, Brooklyn, on Wednesday
night, was q victim Of tho so-called Black
Hand gang that has been holding up
Italians in the city for some time. Capt.
Harkins, who is in charge OF the Detective
Bureau, placed Detective Sergeant Antonio
vachris In charge Of the case. The police
found In the store o revolver containing
four empty cartridge shells. As Costa
was shot four times, one man evidently
did the shooting.
Pedro Angelo, q brother-in-law Of the
dead butcher, was the first to give clue
duplicating the Black Hand. Angelo
managed q store for Costa at Third
avenue and Thirty street. When he
heard Of the murder he visited his brother
in-law's store, and after viewing the body.
said 4 knew I'll knew 1t! But 1 didn't
think 1t would come 80 quick
Angelo was asked to explain what he
meant. At first he declined to say any
thing, but after considerable talk by the
police he said his brother-in-law had re-
ceived several threatening letters from the
Black Hand demanding money, which
he had refused to pay. The police learned
that three letters we're locked up in the safe
In the butcher shop and got them yesterday
evening, when a young Italian woman,
who formerly had been employed by Costa,
but who left his employment to get married,
was taken to the store and opened the safe.
The letters were in Italian and were
translated by Detective Sergeant Vachris.
The first one Costa had received was
dated February25. In this tho butte er was
notified that he must pay the Black Hand
$500 and that II he neglected to do so his
place would be dynamited. Costa told
Els brother-in-law about the letter. but
failed to notify the police. On February
% Costa received the second letter,
running thus:
DEAR FRIEND: Take the Hamilton avenue
car TO Hamilton Ferry cross to New York,
and take a Ninth avenue car. Ride until !
ask you for chew Of tobacco. When ! ask
this hand me $500.
This was also ignored by Costa. and
then, on March s, came the third letter
him to 60 to The Bronx-no To-

man who would be there with a red hand

BURROWS AND CURLEY MATCHED
Two Clever Boxers and Game Fighters
Who Will Put Up Clean Contest.

Everybody in the vicinity OF North
Yakima who loves good clean, even
boxing contest was glad to hear that
the management of the North Yakima
Athletic club had brought Jim Burrows
and Jack Curley together. They are
gentlemanly fellows, skillful at the
boxing game, and both are known to be
strictly on the square. There is no fear
of fixed fight when either of these two
are in the game as principals. They are
very evenly matched pair, 80 far as
strength and skill go, and each is in
the pink of physical condition. They
weigh, or will weigh on the evening of
Wednesday. the 18th, when the contest
takes place, l65 pounds.
The men are training daily at the Ar
mory, from to in the afternoon, and
all who desire may step in and witness
them at their work. Frank Reed is in
charge of Burrows training camp,
while Eddie Thompson is putting the
finishing touches on Curley. The com.
ing contest will be refereed by w. II.
Patterson, and it should be understood
that the entertainment will be conduct
ed on the same strictly orderly and
square plan that has marked the pro-
ceedings at previous contests.
Burrows is an ambitious fight
er who is in the game to
stay, and for the love of it. He is de-
cidedly anxious to meet Jack Overdorf
again, and in all probability will, if
Overdorf is not unwilling. To show his
confidence and good faith, he has agreed
to stop Overdorf in ten rounds or for.

TnIRTY-FIvE MObOES WITH
4 CAPITAL OF THIRTY CENTS
A Roundup Made Friday Night-Sev-
eral New Faces in the Street
Commissioner Force.

City and county officials acted to-
gether Friday night in rounding up a
handsome collection of hoboes, thirty in
number. The boes have been getting so
numerous lately that something had to
be done to make North Yakima less
popular stopping place for them in their
drifting. On the morning before the
raid was made twelve dirty, desperate
looking cusses crawled out of box car
on siding and were soon scattered
through the city on their morning grub
hunt. Their presence was becoming a
menace owing to their increasing num-
bers, and thinning out was resolved up
on.
Friday night several members of the
police force under George Hunter assist
ed by some good men from the sheriff's
office, made the rounds of the cheap sa-
looms, the hobo camps. the box cars and
other places likely to be inhabited by
the gentlemen of leisure. and gathered
in thirty-fve of them. As each bunch
was corraled the men were taken to the
city's pest house, where they were
searched and placed under guard. The
searching brought to light miscella-
neous assortment of personal effects, and
total of thirty cents in cash.
Saturday morning the hoboes were
taken before Police Judge Lynch who
fined them for "vagging" in sums of $25
to SIS. The total amount of fines sub
tracted from the total amount in the
general fund left balance SO small that
the judge hated to disturb it, and the
alternative of working out the sum as
sessed against each one was substituted.
1t is hoped the example of these fell
lows working - actually working-will
have the effect of causing some of their
ilk to give the city wide berth for
awhile.
There is said to be but one town in the
west that is never visited by tramps and
| that is Elko, Nevada. Near Elko is a
small mountain of soap, natural de-
post of the real thing. All the streams
of water in the vicinity of the mountain
are soapy, and there are so many oppor-
tunities for enforcing cleanliness that
the very thoughts of the place are suffi-
cient to insure immunity from visits by
the tourists of the side-door Pullmans.
