TAFT TUMBLEs OFF HORSE.
Animals Knees Fail While Carrying
Candidate Down Mountain.

Hot Springs, Va.-Judge William
Taft had a fall from his horse on
Tuesday afternoon and narrowly es-
capped serious injury, if not death. He
was riding down a mountain road
some four miles from the hotel at Hot
Springs when the horses knees gave
way and Taft was pitched to the
ground.
The horse was not going at a rapid
rate, and the candidate alighted uEon
his hands and knees. Beyond a few
bruises, which are not visible, and.t
vigorous shakingtup, Taft was none
the worse for his fall.
Gen. Clarence Edwards, who was
here when the accident happened. is
now in Washington trying to get Taft
another horse. 1t is not likely he will
trust himself upon the same horse
again.

BLACK HAND VICTIM
RICH ITALIAN is TAKEN FROM
BICYCLE AND SHOT.
YOUNG GIRL SEES The TRAGEDY
Cousin of Victim Is Held by Long
Island Police-Ciew Found
in Letters.

New housekeeping from ambush
at Lincoln road and Nostrand
avenue F~latbush, early Thursday, a
band of Black Hand mel dragged Pie
tro Barilla, a rich hotel man OF Wood
haven, l.. l., from his bicycle and shot
and stabbed him to death before the
eyes of a girl and a man, who saw
every move of the assassins.
The police have arrested Antonio
del Mario, cousin of the dead man,
who is known to have been with him
just before the murder.
Mildred Busch, Is years old, saw the
killing, as did also a man who hap
pened to be passing the spot. Exam
ined by the police, they said they saw
the band of men leap from the bushes
as Barilla rode by on his wheel.
His Body Is Riddled.
When the alarm was given and the
reserves from the Flatbush station re-
sponded, they found Barilla in the
road, literally shot and stabbed to
pieces.
That the killing was not for the pur-
pose of robbery was plain from the
fact that the dead mans clothing con-
tanned a gold watch and a large sum
of money. Several letters in Italian
were in his pockets, some of them
with the characteristic red ink of the
Black Hand.
The police believe the same band
who hacked to pieces a man shortly
after Christmas and dumped his body
near the scene of Barilla's assassina-
ton are responsible for this crime.

Cleveland, Ohio - Following the
desire for an expression from the ma

here voted in favor of a strike Thurs
day. Votes of machinists were cast

will favor piece work, it is said, if
there is no discrimination.
The matter of striking finally will
be referred to the unions executive
committee. 1t is expected, however,
that all piece work will be forbidden
by the union after Sept. /.
