1t is worth more than one can estim-
ate to have the temptations Of
large city removed as far as possible
from the eye OF the innocent and the
weak. The Chicago detective, who
spent several days in Duluth a few
weeks ago, voiced the sentiment OF
all the experts in his line. when he
said Duluth was the most orderly city
OF its size within his knowledge.
Ihls was a high compliment to our
citizens; they deserve the credit
above any one man or set of men,
but no one can deny that our ef-

SUING FLoRENZ ZIEGFELD.
De Koven for Royalties, Shuberts for
an Alleged Loan.

NEW YORK, December 13-The justices
of the appellate term of the supreme court
reversed yesterday decision of Chief Jus
tice O'Dwyer of the city court denying the
right of Reginald De Koven. the composer.
to inspect certain papers in the possession
of Florenz Ziegfeld, the husband of Anna
Held. De Koven sued Ziegfeld for royalties
on the Red Feather comic opera. The de-
PENDANT set up in his answer that De Koven
had given him a release.
De Koven's lawyer applied for permission
to inspect the release and this was denied
In the city court. Justice Gildersleeve
writing the opinion of the appellate term
says that If the plaintiff signed a release II
would compel him to abandon his suit. and
for this reason he has right to see 1t il 1t
exists.
Ziegfeld was served with papers yester-
day in suit by which Lee Shubert seeks
to recover $1,000 alleged to have been a
loan to the defendant. The Shuberts say
that when Ziegfeld was in Paris last sum-
mer he cabled to Lee Shubert for 81 900 that
he might come to America and arrange for
tour of Anna Held in Independent" thea
tiers. After his arrival here he accepted an
offer of the theatrical syndicate to place
Miss Held at the head of a company and
forgot to return the loan.
4iegfeld said last night that the money
was not a loan, but was sent to get him
here to see an opera which it was thought
might suit Miss Held.

MORE DRY DOCKS NEEDED.
Navy is outgrowing the Present Au-
thorized Facilities.

In the opinion of Rear Admiral Nor
decai Endicott chief Of the bureau of yards
and docks. whose annual report has Just
been made public. there is urgent need for
additional dry docks. He declares that the
navy afioat is further outgrowng the pres
ent and authorized facilities in that re-
spect and that the need for docks which
may be appropriated for at this time un-
doubtedly will be keenly felt by the time
they could be completed. He calls atten-
ton to the need of a large dock at Boston
and one small and one large dock at nor
floating dry dock capable of lifting ship
of 10000 tons. The establishment of a
docking station on the south Pacific coast
also Is again recommended.
Admiral Endicott regards as the most i'm
portant item in the bureaus estimates the
increase recommended for the maintenance
of navy yards. insufficient appropriations
In that respect. Admiral Endicott main
tains, is false economy. because. he says, IL
neutraiizes the beneficial results which
might be realized from many sources This
appropriation" he says. lis the life blood
of the navy yards; IL 1t Is impoverished the
whole system suffers
Further consideration is urged to the
question of placing the civil engineers of
the navy on more equitable basis In rela-
ton to the balance OF the service than they
now enjoy. 1t Is stated that the conditions
governing the construction corps as to rank
and pay are the most applicable to the En-
gineer Corps. and that plan is recommended
to Congress. In that connection, Admiral
Endicott remarks. that as there has been
and still is serious consideration of plac
ing all corps of the navy on the army pay
table careful consideration of the rank
and advancement of the civil engineer
corps Is necessary I'm order that serious
injustice may not be done. In this way IL
Ia believed that remedy will be found for
maintaining the civil engineer corps at Its
fun strength. At present there are seven
vacancies. and difl1culty- is being expe-
rienced In filling them with desirable men.

BLACK HAND" Stays.
Frank Massa is Shot to Death by
Agents of Society.

NEW YORK, December 13.-while cele-
brating his forty-fifth birthday anniversary
with his wife and daughter and about
forty other relatives and friends in his
home at Bay, 18th street and Harway ave-
nue., Bath Beach, last night. Frank Massa,
one of the wealthiest Italians of the Coney
Island district, was shot through the heart
by men believed to be representatives OF
Black Hand society, who had gained en-
trance to the house by false pretences.
There were three men In the group and
which one fired the fatal shot is not
known. as all escaped. Late last night
squad of policemen from the Bath Beach
station was searching the adjacent coun-
trance to the house by false pretenses.
Massa was the owner of saloon at
West 18th street and Mermaid avenue.
Concy Island. but lately made some pros
porous Investments in real estate and
had announced to some of his friends that
he was about to make trip to Italy.
About a week ago he was visited by an
Italian whom he did not know who said
he represented Black Hand organization,
and who made a demand upon Massa for
$1,000. threatening him with death if he
did not comply. Massa answered that he
did not have so much ready money, as he
had lately met with reverses. but his I'M
known visitor was insistent and repeated
his threat before he left.
Nothing further developed until Monday,
when MasSa received a letter signed with
the symbol OF the BLACK Hand" and again
repeating the demand and the threat OF
death if he did not hand over the money
or II he told the affair to any one. lie
nevertheless confided to Frank Costello of
ISL 10Th street, Brooklyn. who advised
him to pay no attention to the demands,
and whose wife, Mrs. Lizzie Costello: gave
these details to the police after the shoot
ing, Costello being i'll with typhoid fever.
In the midst of the birthday festivities
last night the door bell rang and th-ea
Italians, who were unknown to eyerybo
present. asked to see Massa. The later

belief that they were friends of MS. the
strangers were allowed TO enter and to go

Mrs. Costello and others who were pres
ent said that there was a brief CONVERSE
ton, in which one of the men was heard
to ask Massa If he was ready TO give
up" He again said that he had nothing.
and the words Were scarcely past his Inns
when two shots range out and the rh-es
Italians dashed out of the kitchen, ran to
the front door and escaped.
Word was teleohoned to the police sta
