Settlement at st. Rose.
st. Rose has been one of the show places
OF the Italians. There, Just above New Or
leans, large colony Of Italians has settled,
making business Of raising early fruits
and vegetables for the New Orleans mar
ket. These italian farmers have brought
the land to the highest state of cultivation
and are enjoying great prosperity The
Duke OF Aosta was taken to st. Rose when
he was visiting New Orleans, and 80 was
the Italian minister, Mayor des Planches. to
see what Italians can do in the farming
line. The success Of the st. Rose and Rem
ner settlements has been cited throughout
the country as evidence Of Italian thrift
and agricultural skill, yet here, it seems,
was the headquarters of gang Of malefac-
tors who grew rich by Matchmaking the
well-to-do Italians of New Orleans.
Campisciano, one of the farmers Of st.
Rose, it Is charged, was an agent Of the
Black Hand and largely managed it's affairs.
The developments of the last two weeks
have proved that the operations of the
Black Hand were far more general than the
police had supposed. Hundreds OF well-to-
do Italians had paid money, afraid even to
complain to the police.
Excitement in italian Quarter.
The news of the recovery Of the kidnapped
boys body caused such excitement in the
Italian quarter that large extra force of
policemen was placed there to prevent any
suspected. while on st. Philip street, where
the Lamahas live, no one was allowed to
pass except by special permit.
There were threats Of lynching, but the
authorities took energetic steps to prevent
a repetition of the Italian lynching Of 1892
at the parish prison, to which the prisoners
were remanded
Sheriff Long swore in seventy extra depu-
ties, armed with rifles, and gave notice that
he would sacrifice his life before the pris
oners should be taken.
At the suggestion Of Acting Mayor Nc
Racken the funeral of the murdered boy
was held yesterday afternoon instead of
today, as intended, as the sight Of the boys
body in the Lamana home was working the
Italian population up to the highest pitch
of excitement and it was deemed advisable
to dispose of the corpse as soon as possible.
The funeral at the st. Louis Cathedral
was attended by 1900 persons. mostly Ital-
ians.
