BROTHERS DISAGREE.
Both in Hospital, Suffering From
SundrY Injuries.

Christmas eve celebrations got the
better of Robert and Frederick Jackson,
brothers, last night, and both spent the
night in Emergency Hospital cots as a
consequence. The brothers were passing
the evening with friends at 1910 25th
street northwest, when Fred took ex-
caption to an unbrotherly remark al
legged to have been made by Robert, and
they began to compliment each other in
strained English.
Some one pushed Robert, and Robert
thought it was Fred. so both fell to the
floor in a clinch. Over and over they
rolled. pummeling and punching each
other until Fred got his molars on Rob-
ert'S right ear and began to chew. BY
the time Policeman Allen Of the third
precinct arrived on the scene Robert
was minus two-thirds of an ear and
Fred lay PROSTATE on the floor from a
kick in the groin. Both were carted off
to the Emergency Hospital in an ambu-
lance. and later placed under arrest
charged with assault. They will be ar
raigned in the Police Court tomorrow
morning.

SCHOOL FOR ASSASSINS
RESULT OF BLACK HAND RAID
IN PITTsBURG.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 25.-Stirred
by the boldness of the Black Hand, the
Pittsburg police yesterday afternoon raid
ed a group and captured nineteen allie ged
members of the society. The police sur
prised a school for assassins being con-
Quoted by Vincenzo Togo and Antonio
Nicolo, alleged leaders of the group. They
were showing the younger members how
properly to use the stiletto in case of
emergency.
The arrests were due to work done by
local Italian detectives and a number
from other cities. who have been working
for several weeks. Incide ntally, informa-
ton cleaned by Capt. Humphrey OF the
Baltimore detective force. while here
hunting evidence in the D Giorgio case,
came in handy. The police admitted
that Pittsburg is he aduuarters for a num-
Der of the worst groups of Black Hand in
the country. and that members are in
structed here to do work in other cities.
1t is estimated that 400 Black Hand men,
bers live here and belong to the different
groups.
First Learned of School.
Some weeks ago Captain of Detectives
Edward McGough learned that the or
ganization had its headquarters here and
that school was in existence where
younger members were taught the use OF
weapons and the methods of the ergani-
cation.
Putting the matter into the hands OF
City Detective Peter Angelo and Charles
Aymer both of whom speak Italian. Nc
Cough sent to nearly every large city in
the country and asked that detectives
familiar with secret organizations, and
particularly Italian-speaking detectives
be sent here to assist in cleaning out the
band.
Ten cities sent detectives. and for two
weeks they have been working with the
local officers. The raid yesterday after
noon was the result.
AS the police entered the teachers Were
pointing out on the back of one naked
man the place to drive the knife. In the
room was a dummy upon which the class
took turns at practice, and everywhere
about the wall were weird drawings OF
assassinations. bleeding hearts with dag

Lord Mayors Show

London is to have its pageant next
year, and it will be carried out on a
scale never before attempted. A number
of gentlemen have taken the matter up,
and they are now in communication with
Mr.. Frank Lascelles. who organized the
Oxford pageant last summer. The pag-
can. will cover all the more important
incidents in the history of London and
it is said that from 1000 to 10000 ladies
ana gentlemen will be engaged in the
various spectacles.
That London is at last to have a
pageant is in accord with the fitness of
things. Wonder has often been expressed
thar the metropolis has Jagged behind
provincial cities so long.
If London's passing show is to be as
wide in its range over the centuries as
We're some of the pageants held last sum-
mer the undertaking will be stupendous
one. But London has wealth enough and
resources enough to meet all the de-
mands that can be made upon her. and
as there is no likelihood of a lack of
funds Gripping the committee the pageant
will undoubtedly be on a scale of mag
nificence far SURPRISING anything yet
