SUNDAY Blue Laws FOR BOSTON
Police Take Names OF All VINO work Moran
20 Prosecute.

BosToN, Dec. 30.-The Boston police
were kept busy to-day taking the names
Of people who we.s engaged in Sunday
work. Headquarters did not know to-
night Just how many names had been taken;
but there were quite a lot of them, and to-
morrow the Municipal Judges will be
asked for summonses to bring the culprits
TO court.
This crusade is the result OF orders from
District Attorney Moran to enforce the
Sunday laws.
The policemen began at midnight, when
they took the nance Of forty-fve men who
were removing scenery from theatres to
railroad stations. To-day whenever q
COP saw a man at work he jotted down his
name, and it is up to the courts to decide
IL this labor was necessary or for charity.
At both the North and South railroad
stations the baggage rooms were closed
and noSbusiness was done until midnight
tonight. The companies which heretofore
have run ten or a dozen wagons did nHt
send out any to-day.

EXPLOSION SCARES TENEMENT.
II Was Under an Italians. So the Police
Say Black Hand.

SAY BLACK HAM.
The ten families in the big tenement at
25l Elizabeth street we're thrown into a
panic early yesterday morning by an ex-
plosion under the window of Frank Bareale's
grocery store on, the ground floor. The
report OF the EXPLOSION alarmed all the
tenants, who rushed from the building
scantily clad and shrieking.
The telephone operators at Police Head
quarters and Capt. McNslly heard the re-
port and sent half dozen detectives
out to learn the cause of the trouble. Within
a few minutes from the time OF the ex-
plosion ten cops were on the scene. but
nobody could get line on the person who
caused the explosion.
The window was shattered and numerous
panes OF glass in several of the adjoining
buildings were smashed. Detective
Sergeant Petrosini and his corps Of Italian
sleuths were put on the job, but they couldn't
find out much. Bareale, who was asleep
in a room in the rear OF the store with his
wife and three children when the explosion
occurred, said that he had never received
any Black Hand letters and that he had no
enemies that he knew Of. The police,
however, believe that Black Hand agents
have been after him and that he is afraid
to talk, fearing that they might resort to
something more effective.
In the window of the store was a crate
containing a gross OF eggs. Not an egg
was broken, although across the street,
at 246 and 24s, a dozen or mora panes OF
glass were smashed. This is the third ex-
plosion that has occurred in the immediate
vicinity within the last three months.

Van wicklen, who for over q quarter OF
century has been in charge OF the life saw
ing station on this beach, has been succeeded
by Frank Langdon. who received his com
mission a few days ago. Capt. Van Wick"
lens retirement is said to have been brought
about by an incident that occurred last
August, when President Hutcheson OF the
American Motor Car Company and two
friends, one Of whom was a mate OF the
Cunard Line, had to swim ashore in raging
sea after the launch in which they were
cruising was baffied by heavy seas and had
to be anchored.
A number of cottasers on the beach ac-
cused Capt Van Wicklen and his men OF
cowardice in not manning the lfeboat and
putting out to the rescue of Mr.. Hutcbeson
and his friends. Capt. Van Wicklen insisted
that to launch the lifeboat would be fool
hardy. The captain felt the accusation
keenly, as his entire record seemed to belle
any coNartiice on his part. The Govern
ment officials. however, IL is said, gave ear
to the cottagers.

OF the Insurance Committee.
There no doubt will be a lively time in
deciding the chairman nship OF the Committee
on Miscellaneous Corporations. The power
companies of Niagara have sent to the
Senate as their representative Stanislaus
p. Franohot. and they naturally will expect
him 10 be named as chairman Of the COM
mittee that always considers their bills.
But Senator Owen Cassidy of Watkins has
claims for that post that will have to be
considered. Then there are several former
Assemblymen who will have to be counted
upon as likely to be influential members
OF the Senate. Senator-elect George b.
Agnew, who succeeds Nathaniel A. Elsberg.
and Senator-elect Percy Hooker Of Genesee
represent the reform element in the party
and are likely to be swsyed by only the high
est impulses.

almost revolutionary in their character.

ing after the interests of the common
wealth. Owing to the indispositior
OF Judge Dunn, Mr.. SisSon delivered
the charge to the grand jury. Mr..
SiSS0n was very careful about what
he said and seemed to measure his CIV
cry word, but he did not fail to make
a cOgent and earnest appeal for the
majesty Of the law and a reverence
for constituted authority. He said
that human life was entirely too cheap
in Mississippi and that frequent homi-
cides were the results OF carrying con-
cealed weapons. He deploreo the fact
that perjury was common and that
too many did not regard the sancity Of
the oaths. While his charge was brief,
still he did not fail to enjoin upon the
grandjury a sacred performance of du-
ty,and were his injunctionS carried out
n law-breaker would soon be behind
the bars and the evil inclined would
lind the atmosphere exceedingly un-
healthy. The states aus is always
ably cared for by MI. Sisson.
Judge Dunn is a careful and cOnSci-
entiOuS judicial officer. Aside from his
legal learning he is a man of fine COM
nor sense, and is accessible to the hum
blest citizen and does net endeavor to
make vain display of his authority.
