BLACK HAND BAND is BROKEN
TWENTY-FIVE LEADERS ARE ARE
PLACED ON TRIAL AT WILKES
BARRE, PA.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April "a. - More
than a score of foreigners charged
with being members of the BLACK
Hand and responsible for a large
number of crimes in this vicinity were
placed on trial yesterday here. Thir.
teen cases of shooting with attempt to
kill, thirteen of conspiracy, six of dy-
namiting and two of robbery by
threats and menaces are charged
against the men who are alleged to be
the leaders of the Black Hand"
Hundreds of foreign families in this
section have for several years lived in
a state bordering on terror as a result
of threats made by this mysterious or
ganiZation, which in many cases have
been followed up with murder.
The men on trial we're arrested in
February at the instance of District
Attorney Salisbury. Twenty-Five men
were captured and, with the exception
of ten who were released after habeas
corpus proceedings, were held without
bail for trial.
The men who exposed the personnel
of the society are Charles Salvatore
and Joseph Ritz of Browntown. The
persecution of these men began in the
early part of last year, when letter
was slipped under thoir door demand
ing $500 lest the entire Ritz family be
annihilated.
The principal witnesses in the case
have been placed under bail to ap-
pear, and families that we're driven
away by the society's prosecutions
were brought back as witnesses by the
district attorney from Buffalo, Rocb-
ter and many other cities.

PRESIDENT HITS
BACK AT CRITICS
ACCUSES DEFENDERS OF MOVER
AND HAYWOOD OF FLAGRANT
IMPROPERLY.
STICKS TO HIS OPINIONS
INDIFFERENT TO CONDEMNA.
TON OF EITHER CAPITAL
OR LABOR.

Washington, April 24-In letter
addressed to Honore Jaxon, chairman
of the Cook County Moyer-Haywood
conference" made public yesterday,
President Roosevelt replied to the
criticisms of his recent letter, in
which he referred to Meyer and Hay
wood, officials Of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, charged with implica-
ton in the murder of Former Govern
or Steunenberg of Idaho, as "undesir-
able citizens" The president says he
regrets any body of men should SO far
forget their duty to their country as
to, by formation, of societies and in
other ways, endeavor to influence JUS
tice and coerce court or jury; that
they, not he, are trying to influence
justice, and he condemns what he
calls their fragrant improperly in the
matter
No Opinion on Guilt.
He says that he indicated no opin-
ion as to their guilt of the Steunen-
berg murder, but that it was a simple
absurdity to suppose that because a
man is on trial he is free from criti-
cism as to his manner of life. He
said he might as well be accused Of
trying to influence the suits against
Hartman, some of whose friends had
also criticized him. He said that
Meyer and Haywood stand as repre-
sentatives of those who habitually ap-
pear as guilty Of Indictment to or
apology for b1oodshed and violence.
He added that he was profoundly in
different to the condemnation of him
for his criticisms of the undesirable
types of citizens, regardless of the
power of either labor or capital.
