WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY WILL

LIBEL SUIT.
STAKES ALL ON THIS
Editor Hopes to Prove Case BY Sister
of kaser--Sentime in Bcr-
lin veering Toward
Harden.

Berlin, Dec. 2G,--Interest in the
Harden libel trial now centers In
Princess Charlotte the sister Of the
kaiser. who was unexpectedly brought
into the case by the assertion of the
editor that it was upon information
from her that he based his accusa-
tions against Count Kuno Won Moltke
Public opinion which had been
gradually turning against Harden dur
ing the last week, because of the
seeming weakness Of his defense, and
the failure to substantate many of
bis accusations made against Won
Moltke, now Is returning to the side
of the editor 1t is agreed on all
sides that the testimony of Princess
Charlotte will probably be the crisis
of the Harden case.
1t is not known yet whether her
evidence will be taken In court or be-
fore commission in private. but in
any event it will serve as one of the
NOSE important features of the trial
If she testifies under oath to facts
that uphold Editor Harden's accusa-
tIons of immoral practices against
Count Won Moltke, it is expected that
the evidence will go far toward ex-
onerating the editor of any liability
for libel
As she is the sister OF the emperor,
such testimony would go far toward
aligning the kaiser on the side Of
Harden, for II Is pointed out that he
cannot do otherwise than accept the
statements OF hts own close kin.
On the other hand II the princess
fails to corroborate the declaration of
Harden, which involved her Ia tho
case. there is sure to be flood of
public sentiment against the editor
and his conviction Of the charges of
libel would probably be assured
During the present trial the de-
Tense had been considerably weak
cned by both the notifications in
Frau Won Elbe's testimony and the
withdrawal of the opinion of a cele-
brated pathological specialist, who
stated in the first trial that he fornd
strong grounds for believing Count
Won Moltke a degenerate. 1t was at
a time yesterday when the trial
locked blackest for Harden that he
played his trump card by naming
Princess Charlotte as the source of
his Information against Won Moltke.
And the editor has evidently staked
everything on that trump.

Scout Idea Of Organized
Society.

New York, Dec. 26.--The police
here scout the idea that there is a
central headquarters OF the Back
Hand society in Pittsburg as the con.
stabulary of that city declared, after
the arrest OF band of nineteen al
legged members. Nor do detectives
of the Italian bureau. who have taken
part In hundreds OF raids on black
mailing and bomb throwing gangs,
believe there is any such thing as a
school OF assassination, where the
Black Handlers are trained in the art
of murder.
The head Of the bureau, Lieut., Pc
trosino, said today:
There is no national. or even To-
cal. head Of the Black Hand society.
that has any control over the hun
dreds of little bands which ply their
trade of blackmail. If there was any
head it would be right here in New
York.
Within the past year we have ar
rested more than two thousand Black
Hand criminals and obtained fine
percentage of convictions. Going
back over the records and crimes of
these men, however, it is manifest
that they have no central organiza-
ton.
THAT they use the same methods
ic not from any training or general
direction, but merely matter of imi
tation. One group or gang learns
that the methods of another gang are
successful and naturally they initiate
these methods, sometimes SO closely
that their threatening letters are
worded in the same language and the
exact terrifying symbols used,
''Grafterg of every sort nowadays
use the dread insignia of the black
hand MS a threat, though they never
heard of the Camorra Of Naples or
any of the Sicilian societies of bri
gands. In Italy there was big or
ganization until last April, when We
got Henrico Alfano, the Neopolitan
head Of the Camorra. who is now on
trial for murder In Italy.
Before the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley" continued Perrosino.
Il warned the United States govern.
ment that some arrangements should
be made between this country and
Italy to check admission to this coun-
try of so many desperate criminals.
Some law should be passed that would
make 1t easy for us to deport these
men, brand them as criminals and
keep them out OF the country for all
lime.
ut would seem now that there arc
countless thousands of these men.
who follow the methods of the Camor-
ra at home, and are dreaded every
where as Black Hand gangs. Yet, so
ong as the government will take no
notice of II and make no effort to
,heck this sort Of immigration, the
police will be practically powerless

Black Hand crimes"
