Pettygrove won the first toss; Love.

proved to be tails, and Portland it was.

the identical penny and would not

was once "a ningot," wrong version
of "an ingot.' Similarly the phrase
"for the nonce' was originally for
then once"-for that one time, then"
being the dative case of that" On
the other hand, "an adder" and IAN
orange were "a nadder" and "a
norange" originally. "An apron" also,
has come from "a rapron" connected
with "napery), and "an umpire" is
really "a numpire"-a "non-peer,"

FEARFUL OATH
OF BLACK HAND

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-As the result
OF the arrest Of several men in Patter-
son, N. J., for alleged BLACK Hand
operations, the police have learned
some of the secrets of that dreaded
band of plotters. The information
came from one Of the men under arrest
who claims he was decoyed into the
"Black Hand"
The man, George Sportally, was in
vited to become a member of a pa
triotic Italian society, with offices in
New. York. He took the Initiation,
which was a hair-raising performance.
Drops of blood wre drawn from his
arm and mixed with that drawn from
another member Of the society.
He was compelled to swear eternal
allegiance and obedience on crossed
daggers, while another dagger was pres
sed against his breast. His name was
enrolled in a formidable black book, in
the cover of which was pinned a dag
ger dripping with blood.

BONAPARTE
GIVES STATUS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 10
Attorney General Bonaparte returned
yesterday from his vacation at Lennox,
Mass. He was unwilling to discuss
the reports that he had returned TO
begin criminal prosecution of the Har-
| riman and Standard Oil cases, but
speaking generally, he says the de-
partment stands ready to bring
criminal action when there seems
good chance to convict.
The taking of testimony in the st.
Louis case against the Standard Oil
company for the dissolution of the
concern will begin in New York on
September 8.
Government officials, though pleased
by the success at Chicago, which re-
suited in Judge Landis' order imposing
fine Of $29,24O, 900, nevertheless re-
gard the st. Louis suit by far the
most important court proceeding ag-
ainst the Standard Oil company.
1t is pointed out that the Standard,
in fact, cares little about the imposing
of a fine, because it will certainly be
years before 1t can be collected, and
there are good grounds for real doubt
whether it can ever be collected.
The fine was levied against the Stan
dard Oil company of Indiana, where
as the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey is the real octopus"
The formers available assets are
estimated at $10,OO0,O0O. Unless the
courts, up to and including the United
States supreme court. shall not hold
that the New Jersey corporation is
equally liable with the Indiana sub
sidiary corporation, it is nathaniel
cally obvious that nothing like the
total sum of the fine will be realized
by the government.
The st. Louis suit strikes at the
existance Of the Standard. It seeks
the dissolution Of the trust.
The government officials also regard
Judge Lands action in ordering pro-
ceedings to be brought against the
Chicago and Alton railroad people in
connection with the rebates granted
by that road to the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, as even more SER
ious than the big fine against the Stan
dard. Under the law, the road grant
ing rebates is equally guilty with the
concern accepting them.
Substantially the same evidence on
which the Standard was convicted will
be used against the railroad, and the
results appear evident. The imposi-
ton of similar fine on the Chicago
and Alton would mean the appointment
of a receiver for that road should the
court of last resort sustain the lower
court and order the fine paid.
