TRACE FIRE TO BLACK HAND .
Police Believe Incendiaries Caused
Coney Island Blaze.

New York. July 29-While there is no
positive evidence that the fire which
swept clean thirty-fve acres Of COney
Island was the work of an incendiary,
there is every reason to believe such was
the case, and to-day Fire Marshal Beers
summoned an army of witnesses TO head
quarters in Brooklyn.
Among the witnesses was George c. Til
you. owner Of Steeplechase Park. where
the fire started. who was asked to tell
of the five Black Hand letters recently
received by him, threatening the destruc-
ton of his property unless a large sum
OF money was paid
These letters began coming TO Mr.. Til
you last Christmas and have come from
time TO time since. Each letter was more
threatening than the previous one on
Friday last the fifth letter came. Not
only did this letter threaten Mr.. Tilyou's
property, but he was told that he would
be murdered unless the money demanded
was paid at once.
The letters were all turned over TO
Police Captain Langan, of the Coney
the fifth letter extra guards were put on
at Steeplechase Park.
The belief is now that there was more
than one attempt to burn down Steeple-
chase Park on Saturday night. At 10
o'clock small blaze started in almost
the identical spot where the disastrous
fire began six hours later. The first fire
was put out by the employees without
doing great damage, but il was remarked
at the time that It was suspicious.
The second fire wiped Steeplechase Park
out Of existence. destroying 200 business
buildings, which included the post-ofice
thirteen hotels, six bathing pavilions
three cafes, Dip the Dip Uncle Sans
Cannon Ride" and fifty stands and small
shops. The total loss is placed at ST.
100000.
Two men are believed to have perished
in the flames. A number are so badly in
jured that hey are dying, while scores
OF others received less serious hurts.

MAY INDORSE THE SECRETARY
Ohio State Central Committee Meets
at Columbus.
Secretary of Wars Managers Using
Every influence 10 Bring About
Desired Action To-day.

Cincinnati, July 29.-The meeting OF the
Republican State central committee in
Columbus tomorrow viii be iu response
to "a call by Chairman Brown, of Toledo,
ostensibly for the purpose Of deciding
some contest regarding boards Of election
in various counties. 1t is and has been
conceded on all hands. tactily or other
wise. that the matter Of prime impor-
lance TO be considered is the Endorsement
of Secretary Of War W II. Taft for the
Presidency as Ohio's candidate.
The Taft managers have apparently
exerted their every influence and power
TO the end that their candidate receive
a hearty send off on the way by the
committee. feeling that his candidacy is
lacking in a most essential quality, as
viewed from the standpoint of other
states, so long as his own State has not
formally declared for him.
The following of the two Senators.
Foraker and Dick. 1t is claimed. so far
have been aveTse TO any formal action of
the kind, anyhow until after the fall
municipal election.
At various times It has been variously
claimed that the committee would and
would not, come out for Taft. Within
the past few days 1t has been generally
acknowledged that an Endorsement OF
Taft was assured.
What the effect will be of Senator For
aker's argument against such action, as
contained in his open letter of to-day,
is a problem discussed at every hand to-
night Will his suggestion that the place
should seek the man, not the man the
place, be construed as a bid for the COW
eted Endorsement as Ohios favorite son
