MAFIA'S BLOODY
HAND ON AMERICA
Series of Murders in United States
Traced to Vendetta Over
the Seas.
BLACK HAND" AGENT
OF BANDED ASSASSINS
Political Plotters in Europe Reach
Across the Ocean and Strike
Without Mercy.

New York, Oct. l3.-Gaetano Costa
was murdered in his butchershop in
Brooklyn on Wednesday night, not be-
cause he had refused to accede to black
mailing demands for money, but as th0
result Of political plot inspired q
Sicily eight years ago by the Malta,
executed by it's agents of the Black
Hand society in this country, and to
which at least seven other lives had
remarkable revelation made to the
police. #
According to information given by
a fellow countryman and former asso-
ciate of the dead man, Costa was one
OF a band Of dozen or more wealthy
Slcilians, included among whom were
his two brothers, who, for daring to
oppose dominant political faction
closely allied with the Malta, were
driven across the seas, pursued with a
relentlessness that has been hindered
matically put to death whenever an
opportunity to escape detection offered.
Fled to America.
Realizing their helplessness against
their enemies, the leading members Of
the Costa faction came to this country
and settled in various places, accord
ing to the police informant. Some had
been compelled to leave all their world
ly goods behind them in the haste of
flight and went west to begin life anew.
Among these were Costa 8 two broth
ers, Giuseppe and Luigi.
With the exodus Of the threatened
men, however, the Malta did not drop
the matter. .=sT ~ -
j Three years later, according to the
narrator, the body of Giuseppe Costa
was found in Jackson park, Chicago,
bearing sixteen stab wounds. Around
the waist was blue sash, placed there,
evidently, as a warning to other Ital-
ians.
Murders In the West.
About year after. that three Ital-
ians were mysteriously murdered at
Riverside, I'll. Not long after that
Luigi Costa was killed at Geneva, I'll.
Finally, few months after this, the
headless body of man was found at
Erie, Pa, also with a blue sash around
the waist. II
In the light of these events, and the
peculiar circumstances surrounding the
murder Of Gaetano Costa, the police
captain of Brooklyn is convinced he
fell q victim to the same vendetta.

IMPORTED THUGS
DEFY The POLICE
Gangs Of Thieves Register as Vot-
ers, Then Ravage New York
Streets.

New York, Oct. 13.-Gangs of thieves
have been imported to New York to
register for. the elections on the lower
East Side, according to a statement
made to the police today, by a prisoner
who was arrested after a series of bold
assaults and robberies had been COM
mitted in the streets last night. The
prisoner told the police that call the
cops in New York; could not prosecute
him, because he had come to town only
to register, and intended to leave again
Immediately. He refused to give his
real name.
The police make the charge that the
thugs have registered falsely and be-
leves they have political license to rob
and plumber.
One Of the gangs was pursued for an
hour last night, by the police, who
traced it in the vicinity of East Hous-
ton street by the noise of breaking win
dows, by evi licences Of freshly com
mitted robberies, and finally by finding
woman beaten into helplessness on the
sidewalk. She was so seriously in
jured that she was sent to the hospital
She said the gang robbed her Of SIS. A
few blocks from whe,e the woman was
found the police discovered the robbers
at work looting butchershop. They
fed and the police got only one Of them
who was locked up on charge Of bur.
glary and highway robbery. 81

BY w. w. -Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 13-There is prom
ise of arounsing temperance agitation
in congress at the next session. Some
time ago Commissioner. Yerkes of the
internal revenue bureau issued an or
der that all persons selling certain pat
given amount of alcohol should take out
government licenses as. retail. liquor
dealers. He has followed this order
with two others, to the effect, first, that
where malt extracts composed largely
of fermented liquor are labelled and
sold as medicines, the manufacturers
must show that these extracts are so
combined with drugs as to be genuine
remedies, not coming within the pat
emit medicine ruling just referred to;
and second, that "where alsocollc COM
pounds called essentials Of lemon, van
liza, cinnamon, ETC., or tinctures or. es-
sences of ginger, are made for sale IN
prohibition communities for use as bev-
erages, every merchant handi1ng them
is liable to prosecution unless ne has
taken out stamp tax as a retail liquor
~dealer.'
Aimed at Malt Extracts.
The first Of these orders is aimed at
the numerous malt extracts which are
made by leading breweries of the coun-
try, and the second at numerous es-
the place Of pure liquors in temperance
communities. H.
1t is asserted that in these communi-
ties the sale of these compounds has
become a thriving industry for drug
gists. The manufacturers of the es-
sencese, ETC., have been gradually in
ereasing the percentage Of alcohol in
theier preparations in all orders intend
ed for prohibition districts, until, ac-
cording to a recent analysis made by
the internal revenue bureau, many Of
these preparations are meow more than
half alcohol.
These several orders, taken together,
will strike terrific blow at the whole
sale and retail drug trade eof the entire
country, and congress will certainly be
beseeiged by these interests, for relief,
on the one hand, and on the other by
the. temperance people, for prohibitory
legislation. .,....... =

In connection with this question it
is said that the army canteen issue will
be again raised on account Of the unani-
nous testimony of the command ding gem

year that the canteen is a blessing for
enlisted men. ID ,

Already there are indications, in let
tiers, kilograms, etc., from temperance
secretaries all over the country, that
the Yerkes patent-medicine order is
popular with temperance people. These
people will, Of course, rejoice over the
additional orders issued today, and
strive to hold the ground thus gained
Thora al tbo4 the
drug trade of the country will resist
