there are now in the big town 100
600 criminals from italy. banded for
the purpose OF evading and defying
the law. The "black hand" OF New
York, like the Mafo OF Italy. is a
secret organization which guarantees
to It's members immunity from crime.
For this reason the New York au-
thorities have been able to secure
only one conviction out OF 1000
'black-handers" arrested. The head
OF the newly-created italian detective
bureau adds that during January GOO
members OF the BLACK hand" So

there were only two convictions. He
further declares that every one was

system is growing so rapidly that the
'black-handers" now have men al

states. The New York authorities
figure that in addition to the TO-.
600 BLACK hand" men in the city
there are 10000 outside. This IS

FROM SEN. PLATT.
SUIT STARTED ON
DECEMBER 27. LAST.
MRS. PLATT WAS FORMERLY
MISS WOOD. AND WAS MAR
RIED SECRETLY.

New York. Feb. 2S.-The fact that
Mae c. Wood started a divorce
suit against Senator Thomas C. Platt
on December 27 last, became public
today. when Joseph Day Lee, a law
yer. of 49 Wall street, applied to
Justice Giegerich, OF the Supreme
Court, for an exparte order permit
ting the substitution Of his name for
that of Floyd Price who had for
merly acted as Miss Woods attorney
here. Mr.. Lee is the New York rep
resentative of the law firm OF O'F1ah-
erty & Fulton, who have been Miss
Woods attorneys for a long time.
None OF the papers in the case
have been filed in the supreme Court

1T is true that an action for alb
solute divorce has been brought in
the New York courts on behalf of
Mrs. Thomas c. Plat. formerly Mae
Catherine Wood. Senator Platt's
answer was served by the plaintiffs
attorneys today. 1t in the form OF
a general denial OF all the allega--
tions made by the plaintiff. We ex-
pect to get the case on the calendar
of the Supreme Court at the earliest
possible date. In my opinion after
examination, there is no question
that the plaintiff was married to
Senator Plat at the time and place
stated. We are confident that the
rights of the plaintiff will be estab-
! lished."
Miss Wood first made her claim
OF marriage to the Senator last sum
mer, and the time and date OF the
marriage alleged i'm the papers
in the divorce suit correspond. She
declares that she was married in Sc
cret in the Fifth Avenue Hotel on
November 3, 1901, by the Rev. Ed
ward w. Rice. an Episcopal clergy
man. She declared that the marriage
was secret because Senator Platt's
first wife had been dead but short
time.
Miss Woods Virginia lawyers met
here last Christmas and consulted
Miss Wood in regard to starting the
suit. The papers were drawn up and
several on Senator Platt's law firm,
