BLACK HAND IS SUSPECTED

New York. July Restocking loss
OF human life and destruction of prop
erty were caused by fires in New York
and its immediate vicinity in the
twenty-four hours ending at a. m.
Twenty persons are dead and fifteen
suffering from injuries as a. result of
the burning of the six-story double
tenement in Chrystie street and the
financial loss resulted from the de-
struction of the Long Beach hotel at
Long Beach, L. L., and the Steeple
Chase park and other property at
Coney island. In addition the steam
ship Hamilton of the Old Dominion
line came into port with part Of her
hold abhZe. The Hamilton was at
her dock before any of the passengers
knew there was fire on board. The
flames were extinguished after about
$4,000 damage had been done.
The explosion of a bomb, placed, the
police believe, by agents of the Black
Hand in an italian grocery store on
Chrystie street, started the fire which
swept through the teeming Italian
tenement and destroyed the lives Of a
score of people and injured fifteen
others. The noise of the explosion
caused panic in the densely popu-
lated district.
The police say that many persisted
in the flames, fearing to escape to the
streets, where they believed death
awaited them from the dreaded Black
Hand, A second explosion from a
kerosene tank followed and the whole
lower floor was mass of flames from
blazing oil.
Flames Cut Of All Escape.
The fire shot up the stairways, cut
ting off all escape from those in the
bedrooms above. Many rushed to the
fire escapes, which became clogged
with frightened people, The house
was filled with dense smoke and the
flames, rushing up stairs, drove the
half crazed people toward the roof.
The flames killed many as they were
about to be rescued from tho roof,
while others were overcome by smoke.
There were many heroic rescues by
firemen.
The bodies of the dead were found
in all manner Of places. Four women
were discovered dead in a closet where
they had rushed to hide from the
flames, which found them out. The
body of a woman was found lying over
child as though she had tried to pro-
tect it from the flames. Five bodies
were found crowded around one door,
way on the top floor, showing that
they had been struck down while try
Ing to escape.
The fire wave first struck Coney
island and before it subsidized Steeple
Chase park, a. score of hotels and
many amusement attractions were in
ruins and many persons were home
less. The next fire was the steamship
fire. Then came the Chrystie street
tenement disaster and next the Long
Beach hotel was destroyed. The 800
guests were all in their beds when the
flames were discovered, but all left
the building In safety.

SALOON NOT HURLEY'S
Surprise Sprung By His Attorney
 When Case Was Called.

The two cases against Senator-Ald- erman John Hurley for keeping open his saloon on Scovill street and sell ing liquor there last Sunday were to- day postponed to Monday morning. Liquor Prosecuting Agent A. P Hay es in the glory of fine suit of linen was on hand to prosecute, but to ac- commodate Attorney Kelley counsel for the defense he consented to the case going over to Monday. This step was due to an unexpected turn in the case.
 Officer Joseph Mclean the com blaming witness in | the case was about to take the stand to testify when Attorney Kelley stepped for ward, saying that to save time he wished to announce that MT Hurley has not license for saloon at the place named in the complaint or for that matter in any other part of the city. It was rumored the past few days that MT Hurley was elected sen ator last fall he had his license trans ferred to the name of his bartender. Prosecutor Hayes admitted that MT Hurleysis not the licensee, but was nevertheless the owner of the place. It was not necessary under the law to show that MT Hurley has license in the place named in the complaint.
 This appeared to be new wrinkle in proceedings of this nature and MT Kelley said he would require time to converse with his client and witness es. The, case was accordingly put over to Monday.
