NABBEDAFTER
WILD FLIGHT
New York Detectives Saw
Italians Take Money From
Man They HadThreatened.

NEW YORK. Sept. s.-Caught in the
act of taking money from a victim
whom they had threatened with death,
three Italians, who the police believe
are r~ingleaders of the Black Hand,
were captured today by detectives after
avenue in which one of the Italians
was shot while diving through the car
window in a final effort to escape.
Giro Annoni, a wealthy barber, has
for more than a year been receiving
letters demanding $500. He was told
that his place would be blown up and
him family annihilated unless he needed
the demands. Annoni informed the po-
lice, and today 1t was planned for the
barber to meet the alleged blackmailers
on Second avenue.
The detectives secreted themselves
in a drug store. Promptly at the APP
pointed hour the Italian met Annoni
on the corner and the money was turn
ed over. The barber rave the signal
and the detectives rushed from the
drug store. :
The three Italians sprang on a pass
ing trolley car, and might have es-
capped, but the motorman stopped the
car. Two Of h Italians jumped from
the car, and, after a short chase, were
captured. The third Italian made a
long dive through the car window and
was shot while in midair. The wound
ed man was seized n taken to a
hospital a prisoner. He gave his name
as Paolo Castellano. h two others,
Ernesco Colleli and Vincenzo Ambrose,
were taken to the station-house.

THIS WAS A PICNIC
RED LETTER OCCASION FOR
LABOR HOST.
Estimated That $4,000 Made Merry in
Olympic Park-Far Exceeded
Expectations.

Olympic Park was provided last night
as 1t was never crowded before, there

labor picnic, and it proved a fitting
close to the celebration of one of the

of humanity pouring through the en-
trance until after Q o'clock. The ex-
pectations of the committee of ar

breaking crow were realized.
Every labor organization was repre-
scented in this vast gathering. All the
attractions at the park were we'll pa
tronized and many Of those who had
stands wished that every day was Labor
Day. 1t was profitable to all con-
cerned. Those at the park made plenty
of mone and those spending the money
were satisfied that they were afforded
a most delightful time for the amount
of cash they spent. 1t was a jolly
crowd and everybody was In good
humor.
There wer some who spent only the
afternoon at the park. but when these
left for home there were carloads upon
carloads to lake their places. The
opera was well attended and the place
was thronged.
The committee of arrangements for
the picnic consisted of Edward ]. Lynch,
of the Buffers and Polishers' Union,
chairman; Adam e. Zusi, of the Brew
cry Workers Union; Morris Welsh, of
the Electrical Workers Union; John
Callahan, of the Hatters' Union; George
Leary, of the Buffers and Polishers'
Union; Henry F. Hilfers, of h Cigar
makers, Union; Thomas ]. Mead, of the

MORE REBATE CHARGES
Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Lane Gets Busy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IAN exhaustive
inquiry into charges in which 1t is, alleged
that railroads in the Middle and Far West
have been guilty of paying rebates to IA
vored shippers is about to be completed by
officials representing the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Franklin X. Lane, a
member of the commission, will leave to-
morrow for Chicago, where he will confer
with those who have been investigating
these alleged violations of the Elkins anti
rebate rate law.
Just what roads are involved or the ex-
tent of the supposed illegal practises, can
not be learned. All that Commissioners
Lane could be induced to say on the sub
ject today was that charges of rebate pay
ing had been made against certain roads
In the West and that they had been made
the subject of investigation.
Commissioner Lane will go as far as the
Pacific Coast on this journey. 1t is his
purpose to look into the operations of the
rate act, which is little more than a year
old. He will report to the commission and
the data Me collects will be-N4ncorporated
In the commissions annual report.
The Hepburn rate act became effective
August 29, 1906. During the year that has
elapsed since that date nearly 400 formal
complaints of alleged violation of the law
on the part of the railroads have been
filed.

MINNESOTA AND THE
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
stockholders Of Latter Apply for In
junction to Restrain State from
Enforcing Law.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 3.-Judge William
Lochren, in the United States Circuit Court
today, began hearing the argument in the
matter Of the application of the stock
holders of the railroads in operation in
Minnesota for a temporary Injunction re-
straining the State from attempting to
enforce the commodity rates contained In
a law passed by the Legislature last
winter, and the two-cent passenger rate
law, n the merchandise rates ordered
by the Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion last year.
Some time ago Acknowledgement E. T.
Young entered a motion for the dismissal
Of the suits against him, on the ground
that, by making him a party defendant,
the suit was in fact against the State,
and hence against the Constitutional pro-
visien exempting the State from being
sued without its consent. This motion
Judge Lochren denied.
1t devolves upon the complainants to
make out a prima facie case.
While the matter to be settled is in the
nature of a preliminary skirmish In the
great battle, it is most important, owing
to the questions involved.

FREEMAN STILL WAITS.
Has Received No Reply Yet from Prose-
cutor About Trolley Disaster Records.

Alden Freeman, chairman of the In
dependent Citizens party, said today
that nothing had yet been done by
Prosecutor Henry Young for a confer
ence in regard to the request he had
made upon the latter for the privilege
of going over the records in the case of
the State against the directors of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company.
Mr.. Freeman attacked former Prosecu-
tor Chandler w. Riker for his attitude
In the case, which involved charges of
criminal negligence against the direc-
tors of the traction company for the
Clifton avenue disaster. The charges
were not sustained, and Mr.. Freeman
claims that the proceedings were
faulty.
Sometime ago he wrote to Prosecutor
Young asking the privilege to look at
the records. The latter is still on his
vacation.

GEORGIA RAILROADS
0BEYING FARE LAW,
But Strictly Within the State Only
Much to the Discomfort of Through
Passengers.

ATLANTA, Sept. 3.-Every railroad In
Georgia is living squarely up to the letter
Of the order promulgated by the Railroad
Commission regulating passenger fares
within the State. 1t was learned today,
however, that no railroad line is selling
tickets beyond its own limits on inter-
state traffic.
A passenger going beyond the junction
point with another road Is. compelled to
buy a ticket TO the junction point, and
check his baggage to such point, and there
purchase another ticket to destination and
recheck his baggage. This regulation is
made to apply even where through cars
are run over more than one road.
The former rate of three cents a mile,
which prevailed on most roads in the
State, is strictly applied on all interstate
business. interchangeable and mileage
tickets, sold at the rate of two and one
half cents a mile, are no longer good and
are refused on all roads which have been
required to put into effect n two-cent rate.
