Subsidy Bill, immigration
Bill and Philippine Tar
Tiff Bill Are Mort
bund.
HINTED IN EACH CASE THAT
KILLING OF MEASURES is DUE
TO PERSONAL ANTAGONIST TO
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND
HIS ADMINISTRATION
By Associated Press,

Chicago, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says it is
now said at the capital that three i'm
portant bills, each representing a dis
tinct administration policy, are prac-
tically dead for this session of con-
gress. 1t is limited in each case that
behind the killing of the bills there
is to be traced a personal antagonism
to President Roosevelt and a desire
to belittle or injure his administra-
ton This is only indirectly true.
The subsidy bill, immigration bill
and the Philippine tariff bill are all
cause each of them contains certain
provisions of a radical character
which have aroused the enmity of
powerful interests in various parts of
the country. 1t is too early to say
that each of these important measures
stamped with the approval of the pres
ideRt in his message to congress has
been delivered to slaughter for any or
all of them may be resuscitated at the
last moment by the use of a neces-
sary amount of legislative oxygen
The chances are, however, that no
one of the three will pass, at least in
its original FORM The intrinsic
principle of each is so Objectionable to
many members either in the house or
senate that only the mere framework
of the three bills can be passed at
this session.

W,U,MESSENGER
BOYS WENT ON
STRIKE
Walked Out Late Yesterday
Afternoon Without Stat
ing Their Grievance.

The messenger boys of the local Of
flee of the Western Union Telegraph
Company walked out yesterday after
noon, and during the latter portion of
the afternoon and at night the COM
pany was without any boys to handle
messages. The manager is advertis-
ing for boys to replace those who quit
and it was stated at the Office last
night that it was expected that this
morning there would be plenty of
them applying for the vacant posi-
tons.
Six boys who were in the service
quit, and it was stated that when they
did so it was without giving any no
tice Of their intentions or their griev-
ance. Some days ago, however, two
or three boys were discharged and it
was said last night that possibly this
might have had some bearing upon
the strike of the other boys.

January 8.
ITO Governor Winthrop:
Hearty greeting to Governor and
Mrs. Winthrop. Wish you a happy
and prosperous New Year, and con-
graduate you"
The message was unsigned.
Looking for Vessel.
1t is the belief of the Associated
Press, to judge from kilograms re-
ceiyed here last night, that the steam
er Caracas has picked up the disabled
passenger steamer, and that she will
be towed into southern port and TO
yin the night kilograms were receiv-
bd by correspondents telling them
chat it was believed that the Ponce
was In tow of the Caracas and would

and this information was Immediately

abandoned hope that the vessel will
turn up all right. The Ponce was
equipped with RATS and boats. so that

VICTIM OF 4sLAck HAND"
Wealthy italian Could Not Escape the
Venaesnes of His Enemies.

Newark, N, j., May 16.-Driven
from his home IN Newark Tor rear OF
vengeance from tine black hand,
Vincenzo Bufardo escaped to his old
home in italy, only to meet death in
the very form It had been threatened
at this place.
Word OF his death was received
by friends here. Bufardo came to
America number OF years ago, and
amassed a considerable fortune by
conducting a bakery in Brooklyn.
Suddenly, without giving any rea-
son, he disappeared, from Brooklyn
with his wife and later appeared here
where he soon built up a thriving
business. In February he received
letter from the BLACK Hand, de-
manding 81 900 on pain OF death. He
turned the letter over to the police
A week later he received an even
more threatening letter. A third let
ter followed soon after and several
attempts were made to hold him up
on the street, but he always escaped
When a fourth letter arrived, Bu-
fardo became thoroughly frightened
He sold out his business, and with
all the money he could raise, he went
to New York and sailed for his old
home just outside of Genoa, italy.
Three days after he arrived there,
the letter says, his body was found
in the road outside his house. He
had been shot in the back and his
throat cut.
