HELD UP BY ITALIAN BANDITS
Irving Knapp Of Katenah, Westminster
County, Robbed In Road Agent style.

KAToNAH, N. Y, Aug. 2s.-Notwithstand-
ing the efforts Of Sheriff Merritt to extermi-
nate the Black Hand bandits, they are
still active in Westchester. Last night they
held up Irving Knapp, a well known resident
Of this place, at the point Of revolvers and
robbed him OF 500 and his gold watch,
chain and ring. Knapp was returning
from Cross River dam late at night when
two men sprang out in the road and dwelling
revolvers at his head, ordered him to throw
up his hands. Then one OF the bandits
grabbed his horse by the bride, and the
other went through his pockets and took
his valuables. The robbers fred q shot at
Knapp to brighten him as they fed over the
hill toward the dam.
Another complaint Of the outlaws reached
the Sheriff to-day from Hawthorne, where
800 Italians are employed in building a home
for Jewish children. A few days G an
italian who keeps the commissary there re-
ceived q letter marked with skull and CROSS
bones telling him that IL he did not meet
the grand secretary" Of the Black Hand
he would be a dead man before the week
was over.
The commissary man was ordered to wear
a red handkerchief around his neck and to
have the money in medium sized bills. He
gave no heed to the letter. Two strange
Italians walked into his store to-day and
began firing at him with re~volvers. He
fed through the rear door and one Of the
men grabbed the cash drawer, containing
$500, and made off with it. The Italian ap-
pealed to the Sheriff for protection and
Deputy Mullen was sent to help him guard
his store.
Coroner Wiesendanger learned to-day
that Antonio Tusselo, whose dead body was
found on the New York and Harlem Railroad
tracks near Mount Vernon on Sunday, was
a bandit. Letters found In the dead mans
pocket showed that he belonged to a gang
which had been operating in Massachusetts,.
Tusselo's friends feared to claim his body,
and 1t was buried in the potter's field.

HER REMOVED AS TRUSTEE.

Through His Father He Alleges That sh'
Has Con to South Dakota to Get
Divorce-He Also Asks for an Account
ing Of the $1,000 Fund She Holds
Henry Russell browne, Jr., the nine-year'
old son of Henry Russell browne, a member
OF the woollen importing firm Of Lawrie
Mann q browne OF 81 Leonard street, Is
named as the plaintiff in an action begun
in the Supreme Court yesterday. In. which
the child asks to have his mother, Louisa
F. B. browne, removed as trustee OF q fund
Of $1,000 set aside for him by his father
and also demands an accounting at her
hands.
Mrs. browne is at present, IL is alleged
In the complaint, at B~rookings, 3. D., where
she has taken up her residence in order
to qualify as plaintiff In a divorce suit she
oontemplates bringing against her husband,
and the boy who sues her is with her.
Justice G:egerfoh, on the application OF
Hamilton 4 Beckett, counsel for the child
issued an order directing the service OF the
summons and complaint on Mrs. browne
by publication.
The action is brought by the boy through
his father, who has been appointed his
general guardian and also his guardian
ad Item for the purpose Of prosecuting the
action against Mrs. browne.
The complaint sets forth that Henry
Russell browne. the father Of the plaintiff,
on December 20. 1902, desiring to make him
q gift, transferred to him on the books Of
the firm of Lawrie, Mann i browne the sum
OF 81, 900. which was duly credited to him,
and his mother was appointed 'as trustee
OF the fund In his behalf.
} The plaintiff sets forth that at this time
he resided with his father and mother at
17oO Broadway. and they remained there
until April 20 Of this year, when while his
father was serving on a jury his mother
suddenly had the greater part Of the furni-
ture carried of to a storage warehouse and
discharged the servants.
The boy says his mother compelled him
to leave the house and accompany her, and
alleges that this was accomplished through
force. trickery and deception on her part.
His father, he continues. made diligent
search for them for q long time, and finally
located her at Brookings, where she is now
sojourning for the purpose OF bringing a
suit against him on some alleged pretext
or ground wholly unknown to the laws Of
tho State Of New York.
The Dakota proceeding is instituted, the
boy says, TO secure 1Or MS motner, 80 Tar
as the laws Of South Dakota will allow, his
custody, and thus secure his permanent
removalfrom New York, where he was born.
His mother, on information and belief, he
does no consider O At custodian for him and
not such a trustee Of his property as should
be continued in that position by the court.
Her only property, according to his COM
plant. is the remainder in q sum Of SIC, 600
which his father set apart for her two years
ago, while hisfather is wealthy andhas given
a bond Of $1,000 OIL bringing the action as
his guardian.

JUDICIARY TICKET DEAL.

Machine Methods.

Machine Methods.
John q. Milburn, speaking last night for
the judiciary n~ominators, made this COM
ment on the report that the Republican
and Tammany organizations had reached
an agreement to put q combined Judiciary
ticket In the field:
II there is any foundation for the report
that appeared In the papers yesterday morn
ing tina the Republicans and Tammany
have agreed on a plan to ignore the lawyers
ticket In making up a slate for the Supreme
Court bench II shows that the action OF the
Choate committee was absolutely necessary.
The attempt to defeat the programme Of the
Judiciary Nominators by this reported deal
Such a deal between the two parties to
select the Judges would be the very worst
thing that could happen. 1t the bosses get
together and fix IN a slate between them
the people will have no choice at all. No
marty will be responsible for choosing bad
Judges and no party could be punished for
choosing bad Judges.
II there 10 any lesson that the American
cities have learned by sad experience 1t is
that the worst form Of government they can
have Ia the government OF q combine COM
posed OF the leaders Of both parties working
together, and II there Is any method OF choos-
Ing Judges which is worse than selecting
them by q compromise slate Of the time serv-
ers of both parties. l have yet to hear OF 1t.
Any deal In which the candidates for the
new Judgeships are divided up on purely
partisan lines 10 almost certain to result In
the choice Of undesirable men. They may
DO good lawyers. but something more than that
n now demanded. We want men who are
absolutely free from party obligations which
may affect their co nduct on the bench. can
scarcely believe that the reported deal be-
tween Tammany and the Republicans will be
carried through. II u In It will be the duty
OF the voters to show that the time has gone

Oiled 10 the selection OF Judges for our highest
