The vision OF the sun In the heavens
again gives encouragement Of summer
weather TO come before long and Old
Home week TO arrive in a few weeks.
The official announcement Of the pro-
gram for that celebration says there
will be "pastimes, entertainments and
outdoor and indoor features too nu-
merous to catalogue, which only Bos-
ton can furnish" SO far as they are
catalOgued, they include family, school,
college and association reunions Of all
sorts; military manoeuvres and parades,
civic, trades and electrical professions,
historical pilgrimages, religious and
patriotic ODservances, river carniVals,
veteran iiremen's muster, receptions to
the governors Of New England and
other distinguished guests, illumina-
tiOus, concerts, dedications, athletic
tournaments, automobile parades and
races, wheelmen's outings, old-time
sports, baseball games, rowing regat-
tas, yacht races and other aquatic
sports, a fishermens race, harbOr and
trolley excursions. concerts, inspection
of warships, balloon ascensiOns, liter
ary exercises, banquets, exhibitions by
the fire department schools, etc.
If any of the exiled sons and daugh-
ters of Boston can resist such an array
OF attractions, there is the further in
ducement Of cut rates for the round
trip ON all the railroads, which surely
ought TO bring them here.

The details OF a confession made by
William o. Douglas. former local clerk
OF the Trust Company Of America,
made public few days ago, are TO the
effect that, acting on the advice of a
lawyer, he planned 10 steal 81 900, 600
worth OF securities in order to compel
the trust company TO conceal his minor
thefts. Douglas has already pleaded
guilty to larceny and is awaiting sent
ence.
According 10 his confession, he first
took small quantities OF bonds, bor-
rowing money on them, lost il in spec
ulating. When IL was evident that he
could not retrieve his losses, a law
yer was consulted, who advised he
says, that the only way out of the diff
ficulty was 10 steal 81 ,000,0O worth
OF securities and turn them over to
the lawyer, who might negotiate with
the officials of the trust company for
their return.
Douglas understanding was that the
lawyer expected to get 100000 from
the trust company for the restoration
of the securities, which would have
been sufficient TO cover the amounts
Douglas had already borrowed and
lost.

The Chinese students at Harvard
gave a native play in the Harvard I'm
ion recently for the benefit of the
famine sufferers in China. The play
was in two acts and included Chinese
songs, instrumental music and games.
Nine students participated, and at the
conclusion OF one Of them gave
brief description OF the play, and a
more extended one of the conditions
which prevail in China. The Union
was crowded with students and profess
sors and a considerable sum of money
was raised
Speaking Of the care of the insane
by the state and our system Of com
mitting them TO asylums, Judge Rob-
ert Grant, one Of the most eminent jur-
lists OF this city, testifies that In his
opinion there is not single person
confined in any Massachusetts asylum
who ought not to be there, while there
are many at liberty who ought to be
confined. Coming from a Judge who
exercises the power Of commitment,
this expression OF opinion is rather in
teresting.

There is nothing on the records AT
Bellevue hospital to betray the secret
of certain deputy sheriff of White
Plains who came here recently to
transfer an insane patient TO Blooming
dale asylum, but the story of his thrill
ing experience leaked out eventually
The patient was Miss Attilie
Schneider, AZ years old, an expert de-
signer of Anthony avenue, the Bronx,
who several weeks ago shot and
wounded DR. +. Bierhoff of East Fifty
eighth street. and attempted to shoot
NIT suicide in the Tombs by drinking
some disinfectant. She was almost
successful and an effort was made by
the Tombs attendants TO keep the mat
ter secret.
The woman was removed TO Belle
vue and placed in the ward for the in
sane. The deputy sheriff arrived at
the hospital the other day and said
he was prepared to take Miss Schnei-
der to Bloomingdale.
You had better be careful" she is n
dangerous woman" advised the Belle
vue doctors.
"Oh. leave that TO me-" replied the
sheriff. IL guess | know my business
and will not let woman get the better
of me-"
The sheriff had no difficulty in TAX
ing Miss Schneider To the Grand Cen
trail station, but when he attempted
To lead her to a train she objected
and attacked him.
The unfortunate sheriff received
whack after whack on the head and
was knocked down. Miss Schneider
stood over him i'm a threatening atti-
ude and would not let him up until
he consented 10 take her back to
Bellevue.
There was a marked change in the
sherin's manner when he returned TO
he hospital. Miss Schneider was the
,aptor She led the way. The sheriff
was relieved when the doctors consent
ed TO accept her again as a patient
she is still there.

revived memories Of the old and en-

heath and shaggy wood" and further
more, and besides a day wherein love,
loyalty and devotion were pledged to
the land of their adoption-such was
the 250th anniversary Of the Scots
charitable society, observed i'm this city
last week by that venerable body and
by kindred organizations.
The cordial approval of the state
and the city was shown in the partici-
patton i'm the exercises of Governor
Guild and Mayor Fitzgerald who dur
ing the service occupied seats on the
platform, as did also President Alex
ander McGregor of the Scots charitable
society whose intelligent, long-contin-
ued and effective efforts should be
credited with very large part Of the
total success of the anniversary cele-

"The Time, the Place and the Girl
entered upon its third week at the Tre
month Theatre on Monday evening, and
still there is not the slightest dimin-
ution i'm the interest on the part OF
the New England public To see this
jolly musical comedy success which is
fully duplicating the marked success
which il has created throughout the
West, and which is certainly the talk
of all Boston. From the very start
the theatre has been packed at each
performance, and one has to be at
the box Office very early in case one
does not want TO be disappointed and
stand up throughout the performance,
for the seats all go like hot cakes and
the supply is not nearly enough to sup
ply the demand for this popular enter
tainment
Few shows of the current season at
Keith's have contained a greater num-
Der OF novelties than the one arranged
for the coming week First and fore
most comes the Metzetti troupe of ac-

of the most wonderful tumblng feats

Paul Nicholson are TO play their new
sketch, ELIAS All Right" by far their
best effort If the verdicts of other cities
are to be accepted. The four Huntings
are to make their re-appearance after

The work Of dredging Boston harbor,
held up for the settlement of the fa-
nous eight-hour day cases, will be-
gin at once as result of recent
decision by the supreme court at Wash
ington that men employed on dredgers
are seamen and not laborers and me-
chanics. Under this ruling the work
men on the tugs and dredges used in
river and harbor improvements will
not come under the operation of the
ehght-hOur law.
Practically all river and harbor inn
provement work I'm New England has
been held up for several months pend
ing the decision i'm this case. Con-
tractors had postponed making bids on
the s4,000,000 improvements for Bos-
ton harbor. II is estimated that had
the eight-hour law applied to men on
dredging work, ii would have increased
the cost of improvements in Boston
harbor, by sl,OO0,000, making it neces-
sary for congress to make another big
appropriation.

proper nourishment.
He said the evil is one that is grow

quality OF food.
Peter Kenney, the Roscommon coun-
ty giant, who landed in Boston on the
Cymric a. few weeks ago and immedi-
ately sprang into local fame by hus-
Ting to take out his first naturaliZa-
tion papers, wants 10 be one OF Com
missioner O'Meara's finest" and that
is the reason Peter gives for being in
such hurry TO become a citizen of
this country.
How do you like Boston," he was
asked.
Fine" said Kenney Its a great
city and a great country. Here | am
working for 1925 a day and only nine
hours work. In the old country I'd
get about half that and have to work
II hours"
why were you in such a hurry to
be naturalized?"
Il wanted TO get on the police force,
but | am afraid | am too big for the
Job"
Kenney stands feet nine inches,
but in spite OF his tremendous height,
weighs only 207 pounds, which is eight
more than when he landed. Evidently
the variable climate of New England
spring agrees with the Irish giant.
Kenney is 2G years of age and is the
oldest of l3 children, all living.

In the suit which Mrs. Howard Gould
will bring TO effect legal separation
from her husband, which has existed
in fact for several months, the prin-
cipal contest will be over the amount
of alimony that Mr.. Gould will be
compelled to pay
Mrs. Gould will ask the court for an
amount of alimony as large perhaps
as was ever granted in an action for
a limited divorce. She will ask that
the court in granting this take into
consideration her husbands wealth and
the manner in which she has been ac-
customed to live since her marriage
If decree is granted Mrs. Gould, and
unless ii is especially stated in the
order, Mrs. Gould will not relinquish
her dover rights in her husbands es-
tate.
1t is expected that Mr.. Gould will
make contest against the granting of
the decree, but he will make the prin-
cipal fight against a large alimony al
lowance.

rose and remained standing throughout
the singing as a salute TO the national
anthem.
With the president were Mrs. ROose-
veIt and members Of his cabinet. Many
foreign delegations, with their prodi
gal display Of gold lace and bright dec
orations. were present, these being in
elItterlng contrast to the staid, somber
attire Of President Roosevelt and 9th

The parade. Of which General Fred
erick Dent Grant was the grand mar
shal. was then reviewed by the presi-
dent 1t was participated in by the
soldiers. sailors and marines of this

President Roosevelt came from Wash

arrived at the exposition grounds he
was met by a military escort and sal
luted by the United States artillery
stationed there. He was then escorted
TO the receiving stand. where the prin-
cipal exercises Of the day took place.
The spectacular feature Of the open
ing day was the naval pageant IN
Hampton Roads. President Roosevelt
ON the yacht Mayfower, reviewed the
ships Of many nations now at their an
chorage. and the spectacle was witness
ed by thousands from the shores.

BLACK HAND LEADER
Pietro Pampinnelli Preyed on
Italian Compatriots.
HE AND WIFE HELD FOR KIDNAPPING
Declared 10 he Chief In Many Grim
inaI Child Stealing Plots to Bleed
Hard Savings From Igno-
rant FOREIGNERS.

NEW YORK, April S0.-After long
and careful investigation Lieutenant
Petrosini Of the Italian branch Of the
detective bureau has landed the man
he believes has been the instigator OF
the many kidnapping Black Hand plots
so common In the last few years Win
three assistants he arrested Pietro
Pampinnelll In Catherine street here
on a charge Of being implicated In the
Saitti kidnapping.
Petroslni says that Pamplnnelll Is an
expert penman, a shrewd judge Of hui
man nature and absolutely unscrupu-
lous. He is credited with adopting the
expedient Of kidnapping the favorite
child of wealthy Italian and then e1-
acting blackmail from the parents Dy
ANONYMOUS threats against the safety
or even the life Of the little captive
Petrosini put him through the third de
gree most Of the night at police head
quarters.
While Pamplnnelli was being ques-
toned a handsome young Italian wo-
man was IN another cell at police head
quarters. She has been positively iden-
fitted by Salvatore Saitti as the woman
who cared for him when he was kid
naped from his home on Jan . and
kent prisoner for weeks, during which
time the boys parents received Black
Hand letters threatening to murder
him.
II has now developed that Rosina Is
Pietro's wife and that the two live To-
eether at 73 Roosevelt street During
the day Pletro poses as a fruit dealer
but at night, Petrosini says, he gets
busv with his secret society and
evolves schemes by which his country
men can be bled for all the money
they are believed 10 have saved.
Il am positive in accusing this man.
said Petrosini. Il have evidence which
convinces me that he has long fur
nished the brains of which the Black
Hand has aourished. This man Is not
ignorant Ike so many Of his country
men who have been arrested charged
with various crimes. His education Is
far above the average man In this
country. and he is shrewd and desper-
ate.
Il expect to bring proof in the next
few hours which will show that In the
arrest OF Pamplnnelli we have The
man who can rightly be called the King
Of the Black Hands"
Petrosinl IL said to have proof that at
least five kidnapped children were har
bored by PampInneli's wife for time
Then when the scent got too hot and
the police were working close the chil
drcn were sent TO other quarters, and
Pampinnelli would appear at his fruil
