BLACK HAND SLAYS AS

White Hand Formed by Chicago Ital-

BIackmaiIers - Threats
Are Continued
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-While committee
of influential Italians was preparing to
raise fund of $4,000 with which to stamp
out blackmailers, Mariana Scardina, a
young Italian who left Buffalo few
days ago on account of trouble with a
secret society there, was stabbed to
death in his fathers saloon.
Shortly before the death of Scardina,
Max Friend, wealthy wholesale liquor
dealer, received third warning from the
Black Hand that unless he paid $3.50
within twenty-four hours, he would be
killed and his house dynamited.
Aroused by increasing boldness on the
part of desperate blackmailers, masquer-
aiding under the name of the Black
Hand, professional and business men
among the Italians of Chicago have or
ganized the White Hand society. From
now on the Mano Blanca will wage a
war of determination against the Mono
Nera.
The crusade has been started by the
two leading Sicilian societies of Chi
cago. The italian chamber of COM
merce, with its ESQ members, is also on
record as giving it's moral and financial
support to the movement. ChevalieI
Guido Sabetta, italian consul, is one OF
the leaders in Chicago.

FAILING STRENGTH MAY
CAUSE PREMIER TO RETIRE
Kings Physician Orders Long Rest
for mpbeIl-Bannerman - Will
Not Be Personally Active in
Coming Parliament

By Associated Press
LONDON, Nov 19.-Sir Thomas Barlow,
physician to King Edwards household.
made an examination of the premier. Sir
Henry ampbell-Bannerman, at Down.
ing this morning and an Official announce
merit was subsequently issued to the eff
feet that the patients condition was sat
isfactory. but that in view of the coming
session of parliament 1t is necessary that
he should have some weeks of complete
change and rest. The premier therefore,
is going abroad almost Immediately.
He has been failing since his wife died
last year, and his recent acute attack
of heart trouble at Bristol was signal
that his political activity has been over
taxing his strength.
1t would be no surprise to the friends
of the premier. who is II years of age, If
much of his parliamentary work during
the coming session is delegated to his col
leagues. The rumors of his possible re-
tirement next year from the leadership
of the Liberal party are renewed, as in
view of his onslaught on the house of
lords it is not thought likely that he
would care to accept a peerage and con-
tinue in the leadership
