MACRINISTS' WAGES.
Schedule for 1908 to Be Passed Upon
by Assistant Secretary.

The schedule of wages of machnists
and employees at the Washington navy
yard for the calendar year 1908, as pre-
pared by the regular wage board at that
yard, is now before the Navy Department
for consideration and action.
1t was stated at the department today
that the matter of labor employment at
the naval stations is under the supervision
of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
Mr. Newberry, and that gentleman is now
his home in Detroit. He is expected
to return to this city Monday morning
and will undoubtedly acA on the report
of the wage board of the Washngto ton
navy yard during the course of that day.
The new scale of wages takes effect Jam
uary 1 and must be adopted by the Navy
Department before that date. 1t is
rumored that the new schedule will show
an increase in the pay of some of the
employees, but definite information on
that point cannot be ascertained officially
until after action is had by the Navy
Department.

DID CONTAIN ANTIMoNY.
Bullets Used. by Army Found to
Have Small Percentaee.

At the direction of Brig Gen. Crozier.
chief of the ordnance bureau of the
army, several bullets used in army rifles
have been analyzed. and the discovery
made that they contained small percent
age of antimony.
Several weeks ago Gen. Crozier testified
before the Senate committee on military
affairs, which is Investigating the shoot
ing up of Brownsville, that army bullets
did not contain any antimony. At one of
the meetings of the committee recently a
report was presented showing the results
of a chemical analysis of two of the bull
let's, which were dug out of houses in
Brownsville after the raid.
The results showed that the two bull
let's contained small percentage of anti
mony, which was taken as an indica-
ton that they were not army bullets
That fact tended to show that the colored
soldiers were not responsible for the
shooting.
Shortly after that report was presented
to the committee. Gen. Crozier had a
series of chemical analyses made, as a
result of which it was shown that army
bullets did contain a small percentage of
antimony, which was used without the
knowledge of Gen. CroZier and the army
ordnance experts.

COTTON FUNDS FOUND
SECURITIES IN A VAULT IN
SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO. December 2s.-
Stocks and bonds, which are part of the
missing Cotton estate securities, were
found Thursday in the California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company vaults. 1t de-
veloped yesterday. 1t was the supposed
disappearance of these securities that
led to the indictment and arrest of j.
Dalzell Brown and Attorney Walter Bart
nett, officers Of the bank and custodians
of the securities.
The estate being in dispute, 1t was al
legged that various chattels had disap-
peared. Following the failure of the
bank, Brown and Bartnett were arrested
and indicted. and 1t was alleged at times
that the securities had been sold In va
rious cities around the world.
Thursday Custodian Cushion sent for
Barclay Henley. an attorney, who repre-
sents the contestants of the will of Mrs.
Cotton. and Assistant District Attorney
Cook, and informed them that the miss
ing stocks had been found.
The announcement that missing securi-
ties of the Cotton estate had been found
caused a stir in the district attorneys
Office where, after investigation, it was
said that only few stock certificates
mining stocks whose value is problemati-
It is said that the finding Of the stocks
will have no effect on the prosecution of
Brown and Bartnett, as they have not
been accused of the embeZZlement of the
stocks unearthed yesterday. The missing
bonds. valued at s205, 200, have not yet
been found.
Attorney r. Golden Donaldson, local
counsel for Helen Beatrice Margaret
Sacher, the great-granddaught of Mrs
Ellen M. Cotton, stated today that he
places no credence in the report from San
Francisco that the bonds belonging to the
Cotton estate have been found there. He
expressed the opinion that the securities
now in San Francisco will be found to
comprise only the non-negotiable certifi-
Gates of stock valued at about S2OO,OOO.
The bonds and negotiable securities to the
extent OF $25O,OOO, he said, he has good
reason to believe were transferred about
two months ago to New York city.
AS soon as this information reached
him he proceeded to New York and there
instituted On behalf of little Miss Sacher
injunction proceedings against the Inter-
borough National Bank and the Atlantic
Safe Deposit Company, Walter j. Bart
nett. David F. Walker and ]. Dalzell
Brown. The New York court granted an
injunction against the defendants pro-
hibiting any transaction by them in con-
nection with the bonds of the Cotton
estate Later the suit was discontinued
as to the lnterborough Bank.
Charles A. Douglas and Brainard w.
Parker the local collectors of the Col
ton estate. who also began legal proceed
ings in New York to locate the securities
have received an order from the court
authorizing the opening of a safe de-
posit box in the Atlantic company, sup
posed to contain the missing bonds. Mr..
Donaldson will go to New York today
to be present at the opening of the box
next Friday.

was much perturbed because the New

to indorse him. and this but spurred the
governor on to writing an annual mes

STARVING MOTHER DIES
SACRIFICED LAST CRUST TO
SAVE HER CHILDREN.
Most Pitiful After-Christmas Story
in ALI of Greater New York.
Babies Are Happy.

NEW YORK. December 2s-Happy that
her children, for whom she had sacrificed
everything. even the last scraps of food,
had at last found friends, Mrs. Phyllis
Frisco died at a Brooklyn hospital OF
starvation.
Mrs. Prisco's husband has been dead
some months. and with four little ones,
the eldest four years. the youngest four
months old, to care for she labored day
and night until she was taken Ill. Her
pride prevented her from asking for aid,
so she saved what bits of food she could
obtain for her little ones while she grad
ually grew weaker and weaker from the
lack of food. The last bits of crusts went
for the children's Christmas dinner, and
the next morning neighbors heard the
crying OF hte little ones in the unfur-
nished room in which the mother and
children lived. They entered and found
Mrs Frisco dying and the children weak
from the lack of food and from the cold.
Children Cared For.
The police removed the mother to a
hospital and the Children's Society took
care of the little ones. When the physi-
clans found that all hope for the mother
was gone the little ones were sent for
and Mrs. Frisco was assured that they
would be cared for.
They were happy again, for they had
had plenty Of food and toys Rosie and
Katherine cooed over pretty dolls. Sans
eyes glistened at a furry horse and Baby
Angeline clutched in her chubby hands a
woolly lamb. Their troubles were forgot
ten in their new-found happiness, and as
they played with their treasures on the
floor beside the hospital cot the tired
woman realized that their sufferings were
over. And as she watched them playing
there the mother smile faded out Of her
eyes-the mothers heart was stilled and
the mothers sacrifice was complete.

BLACK HANDDEVILTRY
TIRE AN EXAMPLE OF PER
sIsTENCE TO REACH PREY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2S--In a fire
which took place this morAing in the
fve-story tenement at 5 Rivington street
the police believe they see an example OF
the persistence with which the Black
Hand sticks to the trail once it has picked
&out a victim to be plucked. The fire.
which originated in the cellar, was dis
covered by Philip O'Brien, a fire patfol-
man. stationed at 8 Rivington strict,
where a small blaze occurred several
nights ago.
He lost no time in turning in an alarm.
and when the firemen arrived they made
short work of the blaze. and then made
an examination. 1t appeared that some
body had pried off the cover of the coal
chute and slipped down into the cellar
through the opening. In the middle OF
the cellar, underneath the stairway an
interesting discovery was made. There
lay butter firkin containing two gallons
of oil, and from 1t trails of oil-soaked
oiIcloth led to the woodshed. The stream
ers Of cloth were burning, but the fire
had not reached the firkin, in which case
it would have travelled up the stairway.
Fire Marshal John T. Priall and De-
tective Guido questioned all the tenants
and obtained some additional information.
On the third floor lives Salvatore Scanto,
lessee of the house. Formerly he had a
barber shop in LIST avenue near Sd street
and was prospecting in his trade when he
began to receive letters, as so many bar
bers have received before, threatening
all sorts of perils unless he paid over
$500 to the writers.
Insistent Letters Sent Victim.
Salvatore has read many accounts in
the newspapers of other BARRIERS who,
threatened in similar fashion, had places
of business blown up because they did not
accede to the blackmailers' demands, but
more insistent Still no money Then the
inner circle of the New York dynamiters
held meeting at which it was resolved
that 1t was time for the usual visiting
card of the order to be LETT at the bar
ber's door. The chief house destroyer
dropped the bomb and the entire front
of the BARRIERS establishment was scat
tered to the four winds. That was about
two years ago.
The barber said nothing, but setting
his lip hard, got to work again. He sold
his place and started in as journeyman
barber on West Broadway. There he
thought he would be safe and for time
he was He began to make money again,
and at No Rivington street lived in
fancied security. 1t was vain hope.
The Black Hand is nothing if not per-
sistent and Industrious. The letters
found the barber once more and the fire
showed the barber once more that when
the Black Hand says a thing it means it.
Perhaps the police, with the assistance
prits this time, but the Black Hand is
slippery.
