MAfIA GETS IN
ITS DEADLY WORK
Even in New York City and
After Eight Years
! @ Have Passed.
LAST OF THREE BROTHERS DIES

New York, Oct. 13.-That Gateno
Costa was murdered in his butcher
shop in Brooklyn Wednesday night,
not because he refused to accede to
blackmailing demands for money, but
as the result of a political plot In.
spired in Sicily eight years ago by the
Malta, and executed by agents of the
Black Hand society, to which at least
seven other lives had been sacrificed
is remarkable revelation made to
the police.
According to information given by a
fellow countryman, Costa was one OF
band of a dozen or more wealthy
Sicilians who, for daring opposition
to the dominant faction closely allied
with the Malta, were driven acfoss the
sea, pursued with relentlessness, and
Systematically put to death whenever
opportunity to escape detection was
offered. Costa's two brothers are
among those who were murdered, one
having been stabbed to death in Jack,
son park, Chicago, and the other killed
at Geneva, Ill.

ANCIENT WORK OF LUTHER
FOUND IN MANUSCRIPT

Berlin. Oct. 1S.-Students of history

interested in the report that an auto
graph MS. of book, entitled, Expo
sitions of the Psalms; How They MUST
Be Interpreted" by Martin Luther.
has been discovered in Zerbst. in the
Duchy of Anhalt. Previous to the dis
covery it was not known that such
work was in existence, and 1t has
caused considerable surprise that so
important a manuscript could remain
hidden for so many centuries without
being discovered. The manuscript is
considered of the greatest value, and
will undoubtedly be placed in one OF
the great museums. This discovery
has caused great activity among the
directors of various libraries and it
is expected a thorough search for
other Luther manuscripts will now be
made.

GROWTH OF IMPORTS
SHOWS PROSPERITY

New York, Oct. 13. - The figures
contained in the September report OF
Appraiser Whitehead in regard to the

pears from the figures that the total

ported at this port was 1904 $50, an
Increase Of $5,O0O,O00 over the CORE

tai value OF precious stones imported

Of September, 1904. There was also
marked increase in the imports OF au-
tOmObiles. During last month 1l9
cars were imported, against 72 in Sep

PLANS MADE FOR CONGRESS TO LEGSLATE
FOR FEDERAL CONTROL OF LIFE INSURANCE
Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, Prepares the Bill
For Federal Control of the Business
and Roosevelt Will Back il.

New York. Oct. ia definite plan
for government control of life insur.
ance has been agreed upon and con.
gress will be asked to pass the nee
essary legislation at the session soon
to open.
Senator John f. Dryden of New
Jersey, will introduce the bill, anu
President Roosevelt will back it with
his influence.
+ The ideas in the bill, which declares
life insurance interstate commerce,
are partly those of the president and
partly of Senator Dryden, who is
president of the Prudential Life In
surance company, and one of the
highest living authorities upon insur-
ance matters.
President Roosevelt believes that
the constitutional question involved
can be solved only by congressional
legislation, and subsequent test of
such legislation before the United
States supreme court.
To secure the passage of this leg
islation will be one of the principal
tasks this winter.
The alleged unconstitutionality Of
all legislation of this character has
always been urged against the pas
sage of any legislation for the control
of insurance. The decision of the SUI
preme court in the case of Paul VS..
Virginia, apparently was to the effect
that insurance was' not interstate
commerce, and that it can be reg
ulated only by the state authorities.
The answer to this contention is
that congress never has passed a law
declaring insurance to be interstate
commerce, and that the supreme court
would take a different view of the
matter if such a law were passed.
Senator Dryden said: while the
decision of the supreme court in the
Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1905-10-13

Paul-Virginia case seemed to dispose
of the view that insurance was COM
merce, in the same manner as bank
ing, transportation, telegraph mes-
sages, etc, it did not in fact, do So
The decision, and those that followed
did not relate to the real point in
volved in a consideration of the reg
ulation of the insurance business as
interstate commerce by the federal
government.
This point cannot be considered
until after congress has passed a law
regulating such business in general
conformity with the interstate COM
merce act. 1t is the opinion of quail
fed authorities that the court would
then hold interstate insurance to be
interstate commerce."
Speaking of the powers of congress
to enact such legislation, Senator Dry
den said:
Congress has the power, most un-
questionably, under the constitution.
to designate the factors that go to
make up interstate commerce, and to
legislate for their regulation and SUI
pervision. Insurance Is today one Of
the most important factors which en-
ter into commerce, trade and indus
try, and whatever can be said in fa-
vor of the national regulation of banks
and railways, holds good with equal
force in the case of insurance.
1T is my firm conviction That such
an act would be productive OF the most
excellent results, increasing the Sc
curity of insurance to the policy hold
ers, diminishing the now considerable
amount Of needless clerical labor to
meet the requirements of some fifty
different states and territories, de-
creasing the expense rate, decreasing
the burden of taxation, increasing the
returns to policy holders, and thus

May Discharge Jury tomorrow.


It is not known just what effect the
injunction will have on the present
term of court, but it is very likely
that the jury will be discharged TO-
morrow.
As soon as the Jury is discharged
the court will hear arguments in the
pleas of abatement, which have been
filed by Attornew w. b. Childers and
Attorney Nj. Il. Hickey. 1t Is under
stood that Attorney Chiiders has filed
pleas of abatement in the cases OF
the territory VS.. Frank A. Hubbell;
territory VS.. Eslayio Vigil; territory
VS.. F. +. Sturges; territory VS.. Geo.
X. Neher. II Is also said that Attor-
ney NJ. f. Hickey has filed a plea
Of abatement on the same grounds in
the cases of the territory VS.. William
Wagner. Attorney Reynolds has fill
ed a plea along similar lines in anoth-
er criminal case.
The claim that the attorneys will
make is that the grand jury was i'm
properly drawn. II is claimed that
Grand Juror LucerO, who served on
the jury, is not a resident of Bernal-
lilo county, but lives just across the
line in Torrance county. Another
claim is that George f. Brewer serv-

junction suit filed by counsel against
the county commissioners, the treas
urer and collector and the school sup
erintendent recognized by the COM
missioners, from proceeding any fur
ther towards taking forclble possess
ion of the offices in dispute in the
court house. Attorney Neill B. Field
appearing for the commissioners ct al
filed an answer to the petition for a
temporary injunction. He argued that
the former incumbents of the office
voluntarily abandoned their rights to
the books and records by placing
them in the vaults and that the coun-
ty commissioners had the right to
eject them from the Office as obsta-
cles to the process of the business of
the county
w. B. Chiiders and A. B. McMillen
appeared as counsel for Hubbell ct al
in the matter. They argued that they
had never tdmitted the governors
commission as prima facie evidence
of the right TO the office of treasurer
and collector and denied various 9TH
er allegations made. The court took
the matter under advisement and up
to this afternoon had not rendered a
decision.
May Recognize HubbeI.
Immediately when court opened
this morning a lively discussion took
place as to what should be done in
order to pay the jurors and other
court expenses of this term of court,
inasmuch as the commissioners had
been enjOined from using the $4,000
borrowed for this purpose.
1t was suggested that warrants be
drawn on Frank A. Hubbell, as treas
urer, for money to pay the expenses
OF the present term of court, Mr.. Hub
bell agreeing to honor such warrants,
but To this counsel for ArmijO ct al
objected strenuously. 1t was then
argued that in case any warrants
were drawn on Hubbell that the first
money expended should go TO reim-
burse Justo K. ArmiiO, who it is al
legged has already expended between
$500 and 81 200 of the $4,000 borrow
ed by the commissioners several
weeks ago. It has not been definitely
settled, but it is said that it is not at
all impossible that warrants may be
drawn on F. A. Hubbell, as treasurer
of Bernalillo county, for the payment
Of the expenses Of the present term of
court.
II this is done it will be nothing
Hubbell as treasurer of the county,
and it is Just this that counsel repre-
senting Armijo objects to doing.
