TWENTY-rWo IN JAIL.
Campaign Against Black Handera
 Breaks Up Gang.

CampaiEn Against Black flanders
 Breaks Up Gang.
 WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb 25.-With twenty-two of them in jail in this city and over fifty others fleeing from the state it is believed that the Black Hand society which has terrorized the upper section of Luzerne county for some years Is now broken up. This condition is the result of wholesale raid planned for weeks in order that the ax might be laid at the roots in a single sweeping blow at the foul or ganization which has made the lives of hundreds of peaceful Italians of the mining towns. of this county a cOndi- tion of terror for years past.
 of the twenty-two in jail sixteen have been held without ball on charges of attempted murder. robbery, conspir- acy. dynamiting and threats. and the remaining six are held under such heavy bail for the same charges, with the exception of attempted murder, that there is no likelihood of their get ting out.
 For the last i've years the Blacl Hand society members have had vir tually free hand in this county. They have systematically levied tribute up on hundreds of Italians. The district attorneys office until the advent of the state constabulary had no requisite force to gather evidence and to make wholesale arrests.
 There have been scores of outrages Murders have been committed, houses have been dynamitcd. men have beer waylaid and wounded, women have been terrorized, houses have been firei upon or set on fire, but rarely have any arrests followed.
 The opportunity of the authorities came through the courage of Joseph Salvatore and Charles Rizzo. thre' hardworking and thrifty Italians O Upper Plttston, who. themselves vic tins of the tribute system, in order t protect their families finally rebellet and gave information upon which thu raid was based and identified twenty two of the twenty five men arrested a Black Hand members.

TROLLEY ! PER CENT
Member oi Finance Board Does
 Not Expect Il.

While speaking to Democrat re- porter to-day member of the board of finance stated that this city has "snowball in Hades" chance of re- ceiving the money which is due it from the trolley company because of the agreement by the terms of which the municipality is supposed to be given 2 per cent of the net earnings of the company after 6 per cent has been deducted. The commissioner thought the whole affair more or less of joke.
 Now how in the world do you sup pose that this city Is going to collect the money under the existing condi- tions," he said. We demanded a look at the books of the concern and were given the merry ha ha. it being also stated for our benefit by William Boardman of New Haven, assistant attorney for the company. that he could find no agreement as said by the board of finance and the mayor to be in existence. The only redress we had was to report back to the board of finance and have the matter placed in the hands of City Attorney Kellogg. True, MT Kellogg haf brought suit, but you can rest as sured that hearing will never take place on the case. MT Kellogg IS the city attorney, assistant states attor ney and counsel for the trolley com pany. Now do you suppose that ht will perform the duties of city attor ney by compelling the trolley com pany for which he is counsel to show it's books? It's two to one chance that he will not, unless the board O aldermen takes hand in the mat ter and compels him to have hear ing on the matter at an early date It certainly is peculiar state, of af tairs."

BASEBALL NOTES.

Mike Kahoe, a catcher who has played with Cincinnati and Indianap- oils. has just been purchased by the Chicago Nationals as an extra man. But if nothing happens to King and Moran, the clubs star receivers Kahoe. will probably warm the benca the entire year.
 old Jack Beckley will play first base again this year for the St Louis Nationals. He slumped in the bat tling last year and the Robinsons began to look around for a success sor. But as good first basemen are scarce they have concluded to put Beckley on the bag once more. Beck ley came into the National League with the Pittsburg club in 1886. and has always been a heavy batsman. In recent years he has been putting in the winter months as assistant to Starter Jake Hoffman at one of the California tracks.
 Robert Unglaub. who has been at lodds with the Boston Americans over the salary question, says that he will go with the team to Little Rock, Ark., on March 1, and will remain with them until April 10. Then if the club does not come to his terms Unglaub declares that he will | go back to the Williamsport Fri. State League club. with which hs played first base with last year, and will open test case before the Ma. tional Commission. He sets forth tn, argument that he can get mort money In wiIliamsport than in Bos ton and that he is entitled to jsstice It is dollars to dimes that the com mission will order Unglaub to sigI with the Boston club or get out O organized baseball.

Spaulding team busy to keep them from
scoring.
Miss Even. who made all the points
for Spaulding, started the scoring by
throwing a goal in the first five minutes
Of play, the game at this time being
rather slow, but free from fouls. Toward
the hlst of the period Miss Even WA
successful in throwing another goal from
the floor, and one from foul while
Stowe was unable to connection with
the basket at all during the period, max
ing the score five to nothing at the
close
The second period was faster than the
first from the start, with Spaulding fore
ing the play at all times, giving during
the period some good exhibitions Of pass

line, almost at once followed by basket
from the floor, making total of eight,

Petition Gov. Proctor Who
Will Consider Cases
GEO. JARVIS OF BARRE
Asks to Be Released.-He Is Now Serv-
ing Term for Committing Rape
Has Been Punished six Times
Since His Commitment.

Brattleboro, March 16.--Governor Il.
d. Proctor heard yesterday in Brattle4
boro the petitions Of three criminals for
pardon from the state prison at Wind
sor. William 9. Thomas of Chester was
sentenced in December to two years for
a statutory oifense. It was argued yes
terdag that he pleaded guilty because
the hope Of probation was held ont To
him. although he declared to have good
Defense
Governor Proctor indicated that he did
not consider the case one which required
the exercise Of executive clemency ex-
cept possibly in view of the fact thas
Thomas has a wife and seven children.
A pardon for George Al Jarvis of Barre
was urged on the ground that he il ON
the verge of insanity. He was sentenced
10 20 years for rape and has two years
lyet to serve. He was confined in an
insane asylum a part of his term.
Jarvis tied his victim to a railroad
track, but she escaped. He has been
punished six times since his commit
ment.
Several petitions were presented in
favor Of Seaman l.. Wetherell Of Graf
ton, sentenced III 1896 to is years for
rape and three years for adultery.
Judge Charles II. Robb Of the court Of
appeals Of the District Of Columbia, then
state attorney, recommended a pardon
on the ground that Wetherell had been
punished enough. He is 55 years old
and in i'll health, according to the tes.
timony Of Superintendent W. S. Lovett.
The girl whose testimony resulted in
the 15-year sentence now says her tes-
timonv was false. Governor Proctor took
the cases under adyisement.

WANTS A SPUR TRACK.
II. ]. Bertoli Petitions State Railroad
Commission.

The state board Of railroad commits
sioners gave hearing yesterday after
noon in their rooms at the State House,
TO the petition Of the Central Vermont
Railway company to build a spur track
to the granite sheds Of Harry J, Ber-
toll IN this city. Neither the city Of
Montpelier nor the Barre and Mont
pelier electric railroad, whose tracks
will be crossed by the spur entered any
protest or objection, and the prayer Of
Che petitioner win undoubtedly be
granted under the usual restrictions.
The only question in the minds of the
commissioners is that the proposed
track viii cross the main highway be-
tween Montpelier and Barre at grade
and IN doing so viii be opposen to the
policy of the state to abolish grade
crossings a. expressed in tho oct passed
by the Legislature of 1906. Chairman
John WI Redmond was not present az
the hearing yesterday and the other
members OF the board wish to consult
with him before taking final action
