Police Believe Society
Spies Followed DepoSi-
tors Who Drew
Out Money.

NEW YORK, Sept. u.-Accepting as
worthy of investigation at least. the
popular belief that Mondays and Tues
days runs on the East Brooklyn Savings
Bank were engineered by the BLACK
Hand" as means OF learning against
whom the organization can most prohta-
bly, wage a wholesale campaign, the
police are planning a general round up
Of all suspicious characters in the New
York and Brooklyn colonies
DepOsitOrs in the bank say they be-
lieve members OF the Black Hand watch
ed at the tellers' window as money was
withdrawn, noted the sums paid out,
signaled to COnfedeTates in the streets,
after which the owners OF the money
would be followed home and their ad-
dresses noted.
It IS believed that at least 100 deposi-
tors who drew amounts OF from 81 900
to 8, 600 were shadowed thus and the
police think there will be a flood OF
Black Hand notes in a few days de-
manding money.

That new and important depart
ment OF the Government may be created
BY Congress is a possibility that Is By
lao means remote. Reports are afcat
that the President is giving serious con-
sideratlOn 10 recommending a Depart

that has been advanced. the result
would be TO add new member OF tho

Needs Representation.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has come 10 be a body OF such impor-
tance that good reasons can be advanced
for IL having representation IN the Cabi-
net Everything pertaining 20 the ad-
ministration OF railroads, pipe lines.
water lines, express companies, and the
like would be under the new depart
meut. Steamboat inspection would nat
uaFlly fall under the new department
the Steamboat Inspection Service now
being under the Department of Com
merce and Labor. Otner bureaus that
have TO do largely with transportation
matters would come naturally under the
proposed department.
Inquiry was made today al the Inter-
state Commerce Commission as TO the
talk OF Department. OF transportation.
Chairman Knapp said he was not aware
the President was considering II.
1t is suggested at the commission,
however. that the talk Of a Department
Of Transportation may have originated
from the address recently made BY Com
missioner PrOuty before the American
Bar association meeting at Portland.
Ne he took the ground there should
be a separation Of the administrative
duties Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and its judicial functions
He would have one body to enforce
the law as 70 its administrative fea-
lures. such as prevention of rebating.
safety appliance regulation. accounting
and the Ike. But he would have the
Interstate Commerce Commission proper
cOnfine its attention TO the regulation OF
rates and the hearing Of complaints
concerning rates
Work With Commission.
out Of this might grow a Department
OF Transportation 10 watch over all ad-
ninistratfve features of the interstate
commerce laws and handle everything
CT an administrative nature concerning
all problems relating to transportation
The Interstate Commerce Commission
proper would hear complaints and
Judge OF the unreasOna bleness OF rates
and practices, acting judicially.
Chairman Knapp thinks the commits
sion should be given a year or more
longer to show what IL can DO and
whether the present arrangement IS q
workable one. When the present plan
is tried fully. then, IL IL does not work.
there will be time 10 discuss a new

seen this afternoon, confidently predict
ed mis- States victory IN the rate hear
ing now in progress In the case OF the
State vs.. the Southern Railway.
7 merely stopped over here for q
day." said the governor, ''for the pur-
pose % conferring with our attorneys
and getting a line on the situation
shall not go upon the stand nor take
any active part in the hearing other
than TO exercise what you might call
rather general supervision
Reports Encouraging.
From reports 10 hand at this time I
have every reason TO be satisfied with
the showing the State has made, and
have no fears whatever as 10 the out
come. so far as we are concerned We
are going TO win most assuredly- TIE
2H-cent rate Is right, and it viii b.
so proven.
AS I see it continued the governor,
che railroad company has lost its own
case. The showing the company itself
has made so far demonstrates that they
can we'll afford 10 put the 2A rate into
effect.
Business Increasing.
when our witnesses 90 upon the
stand We shall prove conclusively that
the volume Of business Is increasing in
the State OF North Carolina with Won
derfuI regularity and the hard luck
tales, such as the railway company is
now telling, will be utterly disprOven.
The state Of North Carolina does not
rAesess many large cities. but we have
a large number OF substantial smaller
towns and the freight and passenger
traffic between North Carolina points is
immense A casual observer upon any
train will readily perceive this.
Rate No Hardship.
AT the proper time our experts Will
20 upon the stand and show in just
what way the railroad company is
handling the traffic and demonstrate
that the new rate law IS not a hard
ship"
Governor Glenn stated that he was
too busy TO attend the hearing person
ally, but that he kept in close touch
with the progress Of the case and had
every reason to be confident Of the out
come.
I am completely broken down you
might say" explained the governor,
and have such a large number of du-
ties to perform that could not, no mat
ter how much I might want TO do so,
handle this case personally.
Conference This Afternoon.
IT am now going TO Atlantic City for
a ten days rest, leaving here tomorrow
morning. This afternoon I shall hold
a conference with our attorneys. and 90
ever the railroad rate question thor
oughly."
Governor Glenn explained that the
State of North Carolina probably eX-
acted more Of it's Governor than any
other State in the Union, inasmuch as
the governor had direct supervision
over almost every public department in
the State. He stated that a number OF
experts employed by the State were
now collecting data which would be pre-
sented at the present hearing, and which
would most certainly result IN the up
holding Of the reduced rate law.
THE fight is general all over the
country" concluded Governor Glenn,
"and I am confident that the laws en-
acted BY the various States are going
to be uDheld"
