HUNDREDS PANIC STRICKEN
BLACK HAND SOCIETY RESPON
SlBLE FOR BOMB OUTRAGE
IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Nov. 19-Hundreds of
panes of glass were shattered, sew
eral doors were blown from their
hinges and hundreds of persons clad
only in night clothing rushed into the
street in a panic when bomb was
exploded in the hallway of tenement
house at 33 Stanton street. That the
perpetrator of the outrage was an
agent of the Black Hand society is the
theory of the po.icl. They also be-
lieve that Pietro Realmutto. an ItaE
ian, who has a delicatessen store on
the ground floor of the Stanton street
house. was the intended victim of the
outlaws. Realmutto told the police
that he had received numerous letters
from the Black Hand demanding mon
ey. The last of these communica-
tions, which was received only two
days ago, told the storekeeper that
unless he sent money to the writer's
at once they would kill his two chill
dren. The money was not sent and
the bomb which was hurled into the
hallway Is believed to be warning
from the outlaws that their threat
was not an empty one. The tene-
ment house at 33 Stanton street is
occupied by eighteen families and Is
in the midst of a densely populated
district The explosion shattered
every pane of glass in the house and
smashed scores of windows in ada
cent tenements The roar of the ex-
plosion and the crash and rattle of
breaking glass aroused the whole
nelghborhood and In a moment the
street was checked with struggling,
thinly clad men, women and children.
Many of them were on the verge of
frenzy from fear and the police labor
ed for nearly an hour before they sue
ceeded in getting them back to their
homes.

Answers Charges Made by Newspaper
CORRESPONDENT.

Muskogee, |. T., Nov. 19.-The sen.
ate Indian commission has continued
the hearing of the charges made by
Webster Ballinger, Washington
newspaper correspondent, against
Tams Bixby, chairman, and w. o.
Beall, chief clerk of the DAVIS COM
mission, alleging that these officers
were deliberately responsible for the
wrongful enrolment as negro freed
men of 1000 persons of mixed negro
and Indian blood in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. Chairman Bixby
filed written denial of the charges.
Chairman Bixby, In regard to the
framing of congressional legislation
that would shut out certain appli-
cants whose cases were pending,
placed the responsibility for such leg
islation upon the secretary Of the in
terror and congress. 1t developed
that the charges made against Beall
were practically the same as had been
made nearly year ago and investi-
gated by the secretary Of the interior,
who found that Beall had not violated
any rules.

CONTINUOUS POLICE COURT.
Chicago Magistrates to Hold AIi-Niekt
Sessions.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-If the plans OF
Chicago's new municipal judges ma.
terialize the city probably will have
magistrates sitting in every police dis
trict in the city at every hour of the
day or night. This innovation will
remove one of the strongest incentives
for policemen to avoid making ar.
rests. Under the present system If a
policeman arrests man at night he
must remain in the police station until
the case is disposed OF
With night sessions of the police
court the prisoner will be arraigned
Immediately and If he secures con
tinuance II will be to another night
court. This will give the patrolman
ample opportunity to sleep and will
remove the incentive to free guilty
persons.
Chief of Police Collins will appear
at the meeting of the new justices and
speak In favor of the night courts
in every quarter of the city.

Ter of Chicago has been retained by
the Standard Oil company at a fee of

dissolution.
Miller was formerly corporation
counsel for the city of Chicago and is
the attorney who prevented the beef
packers being sent to Jail under the
plea Of an immunity bath" before
Judge Humphreys. Officials of the de-

whether Attorney Miller will be able
to fmmerse his clients in an immuni-

to prevent their escape. 1t is said
Attorney Miller will try to induce the
court to accept this plea in the Stand

LABOR ADOPT PLATFORM
OF PRINCIPLES.
SUBJECT is DISCUSSED At LENGTH
COMMITTEE FINALLY AUTHOR
IZED TO DRAW UP THE
DECLARATION.

Minneapolis, Nov. 19.-Has tht
American Federation of Labor any fix
ed general platform of principles
which shall guide its course and By
which 1t shall be known to the resi-
of the world? Is 1t working for some
thing fixed, definite and expressed, ol
is it merely pursuing an errant course
altered and adapted to suit the occa
sion and the need of the moment?
For half an hour or more the con
Vention of the federation, now in ses
sion in Minneapolis, discussed this
question without arriving at any con
clusion. The discussion at times be
came heated and almost passionate
the debate eliminating in an appeal
from Delegate Malone of the street
railway employees organization, who
eaid:
IF We have platform of principles
do not know what 1t Is. For Gods
sake let Us know what we stand for
and what We may say we stand for
before the world. Let us not evade
and sidestep for want of definite prin-
ciples."
The discussion was brought up by
the report of the committee On res
olutions on resolution %, offered by
Delegate Dihle of the Detroit Fedora
tion of Labor The resolution recites
that the widest publicity should be
given the principles and platform of
IL a.Iy Iof hz lot
form and
Declaration of Principles
be printed in the official proceedings
of the convention. The committee
took the stand that the resolutions of
the convention as embodied in the
report We're sufficient and that as
nothing further was necessary in their
opinion the resolution was not concur
red in.
In the discussion following Dele
gates Z. Garry Brown of Brockton.
Mass, Lennon, Malone, Duncan and
others participated, with the result
that the resolution was referred back
to the resolutions committee with in
structiOns TO prepare and present a
declaration of principles to the con-
yention. This was done after 1t was
proposed to send the resolution to
the committee on the presidents re-
port and to otherwise dispose of 1T.
The general sentiment of the dele
gate body seemed to be that there Is
at present nothing In the way Of an
up to date fixed declaration of princi-
pies and that In view of the 100000
people represented there should be
cne on which the federation shall
stand
Politics appeared in a mild form,
but was not generally discussed. 1t Is
evident that the general political pol
icy of the federation Is to be largely
guided by President Gompers In per-
son or through his associates.
