origin Friday night in the lower Missis-
sippi valley. 1t developed great energy
during the night, and rapidly moved

southern Indiana. The eastern branch
caused high winds along the Atlantic
coast from Florida to New York, at
tended by snow on the middle Atlantic
coast and heavy rains in the south. The
second branch produced heavy SHOWS
throughout western New York and thence
westward to Wisconsin. Easterly gales
with snow. turning into rain. prevailed
along the New England and New Jersey
coasts, the maximum wind velocity being
sixty-eight miles per hour at Nantucket
The storm will continue in a northeast
erly direction, but with diminished en-
ergy.
The weather Sunday will be unsettled
and cloudy in the northeastern states
with snow in the lake region. northern
New York and northern New England
Snow is also probable Sunday in the up
per Mississippi and the Missouri valleys
Fair weather Is probable Monday in prac-
tically all districts east of the Rocky
mountains. Important temperature
changes are not anticipated.
The winds along the new England coast
will be brisk to high and variable. be-
coming westerly: on the middle Atlantic
coast fresh and variable; on the south

BLACK HAND THREATS
LOCAL POLICE FOLLOWING BAL
TIMoRE INVESTIGATION.

Members Of the local police department mt
are taking an interest in the investigation
In Baltimore having as its object the ar
rest of the members Of the Black Hand
Society, who are responsible for the par
tial wrecking of the home Of Joseph Di
Giorgio. in Walbrook. last Tuesday night.
While Vicenzo Di Giorgio. a brother of
the fruit merchant whose house was
wrecked. resides in this city, the local po-
lice have no idea that the Walbrook out
rage Is to be repeated here. Members of
the Di Giorgio family are somewhat dis
turbed over the affair. however and Maj.
Sylvester is doing what he can to relieve
them of anxiety.
Vicenzo Di Gorgio resides at 600 NJ
street, only a short distance from the sec
ond precinct police station and Capt. Sui
Ivan is having the house guarded at night
by members Of his command. Thomas
Orlani, who acts as Italian interpreter for
opments in Baltimore. He has also been
at the NJ street house assisting the second
precinct police in guarding the premises.
Police officials. as stated, do not believe
that the members of the Black Hand So
c1ety are likely to come here and do any
damage, although several threatening let
tiers have been received by Italian mer-
chants during the past year.
Demand for Money.
Several months ago a fruit dealer in
Southeast Washington received letter in
which demand was made for money, and
only few days ago a similar letter was
received by another resident Of that Sec
ton who is in the fruit business. The
recipients of the letters were somewhat
uneasy.
The recipient of the first letter did not
take interest enough in it to open it until
several days after he had received It.
Then he became alarmed and sent for the
police. The time had elapsed when, &C.
cording to directions, he should have
placed large sum of money where the
writer of the letter suggested, anu the
police were appealed to for aid, but moth
Ing was accomplished by the investigation.
More Importance was attached to the
Black Hand letter received recently, al
though its recipient frankly admitted that
he was not possessed of much in the way
of worldly goods.
While the police investigated the COM
plants and are looking after the Black
Hand people, they really do not antici-
pate any trouble here. 1t is said that
there are not SO many wealthy Italians
here as there are in Baltimore, Pittsburg
and other larger cities, and the authori-
ties think that those who have already
sent such letters to local Italians did so in
a spirit Of practical joking.

Local Detectives Going to Canada.

Inspector Boardman, chief of detectives.
and Detective McNamee have arranged to
go to Montreal with papers for H. A.
Porter, who was arrested there several
days ago. The former will not go from
here until Monday or Tuesday, but De-
tective McNamee has made arrangements
to start today. He will take the neces-
sary requisition papers with him. Porter
is under Indictment for the embezzlement
of about $500 worth of certificates Of min
ing stock from the firm of Harrington &.
Co. 1t is probable that he will have a

Slow Progress of the Hearing o

prevailing between the Pacific northwest
and eastern points in comparison with the
rates from yellow pine districts to the

the interstate commerce commission of
the Washington and Oregon lumber as

northwest.
The hearing is proceeding slowly, a vast
amount of details being brought out in

is not likely that the hearing will be end

in general use throughout India. The small
horses or ponies are now principally sup
piled from Australia. They are known by
the name of waller" and were produced
by crossing English thoroughbr.ds with
the small. stout-legged breed of horses
found in Australia. Some of the waller
ponies" are very handsome of good tenn
per and possess splendid endurance. They
make good polo ponies and now and then
smart racers for short distances. Some
of this class of ponies are beng raised in
India, the supply in the market being sew
enteen home-bred 10 twenty imported
from Australia. But the supply from both
sources is not equal to the demand. The
average price of the imported ponies Is
$500 gold and $l35 for the Indian-bred ones.
Welltrained polo ponies, however, sell for
much more-say from $500 to $3.50 each.

Duke Of Cambridge Statue.

The granite pedestal for the statue to the
Duke Of Cambridge is up in Whitehall. 1t
has been placed just about between the new
war office and the paymaster generals
office. The statue could not well have been
put opposite the Horse Guards though that
would nave been an appropriate spot for
the old duke, who held SO many levees as
commander -in-chief in the room over the
Horse Guards arch. The statue would have
been rather in the way of royal professions

hall towards Westminster, and still more

and next January the Jacobite leaguers
will be able to extract what symbolism they
can find from the interpositon of Hano-

minister. Even before the statue arrives on
the pedestal there is a severe criticism to
be made. The dates given on the pedestal
are: Born 1919. Died 1903" But the duke
died in March, 1904. The curious thing is
that the king has already had to order the
correction Of an inscription to the duke on
the tablet in the Guards chapel. Here is
another mistake to be corrected, as if a sort
of fate dogged inscriptions to him. And

Just at this time when reform of the
house of lords is so much in the air various
analyses of the "gilded chamber are made

is slump in honors at present, owing to
the ease with which many have been gained
in late years. The situation today is anom-
alous. Take the house of lords. for in
stance. The upper house. although the pub
lie hears nothing about it outside, is really
divided into two orders There are the old
peers, men of ancient lineage, whose ances-
tors have talked high politics at breakfast
for period of 200 or 600 years, and the
new men. who have either brewed oceans of
beer, woven square leagues of fioorcloth
subscribed heavily to the party funds, or
perhaps. If otherwise ineligible for dis
