SCHOOL BALL TEAM
HAS EXPERIENCE
WITH THIEVES
High School Boys Robbed at
North Adams
SUIT CASES WERE RIFL ED
One Lost Entire Outfit While Others
Are Minus What Money They
Had With Them.

The Bennington High school base
ball team went to North Adams yes
terday and was not only defeated by
a score of to in the game with the
Drury high school nine but the mem
bers of the visiting team were the vic
tins Of robbery.
In order that the game might be call
ed promptly at 4 o'clock the manager
of the Drury team requested the Ben
nington boys to make their changes of
clothing in stable near the fair
grounds where the game was played.
The Bennington boys expressed some
their effects but were assured that
nothing would be molested.
The stable was locked and the two
teams went on the field While the
game was in progress some one or
more persons climbed to the rear
window of the stable and entered the
building. Every suit case with the eX-
ception of one was opened and the
pockets rifled of their contents. The
CACcptlOu was III TIC CdSt VI With
Bowen. His suit case containing n
new suit of clothes and new pair of
shoes together with a small amount
of money was stolen. None of the
other boys lost articles of clothing
but whatever money was left in their
pockets was taken.
The boys arrived home last even
ing feeling decidedly sore over their
experiences. They do not in any res
pect hold the Dr,Ty management re-
sponsible for their losses, and mas
much as they were the guests of the
school 1t is likely that their loss will
be made good by the Drury Baseball
association.
Some of the boys stated that they
visited police headquarters after the
game and stated the circumstances of
the theft but were given merry ha.
ha for their trouble.
The game was decidedly one sided
Wood and Percy, the latter pitching
the final two innings, did some excel.
lent work on the slab but the fielding
errors were so numerous that Ben
nington was badly outclassed.

HETTY GREEN THREATENED
A Black Hand Note Sent Her Demand
Ing S5000--Death II she Refuses

New York, May 14-Although eff
forts have been made to keep the mat
ter secret, II has become known that
Mrs. Hetty Green who Is living at
the Plaza, received last Friday let
ter signed "Black Hand threatening
her with death unless she gave $4,000
to the writer.
Since the receipt of the letter Mrs.
Green In leaving the hotel for her Of
fee in the Chemical National bank,
has been taken to Madison avenue
car by one OF the hotel detectives.
Until she got the letter she was in
the habit of leaving the hotel alone by
the 5Sth street entrance which Is the
door most used by those who have
apartments in the hotel.
The letter received by Mrs. Green
was written In ink, and the letters
were formed like print rather than
like ordinary writing. The threat has
caused the hotel detectives to pay
particular attention to Mrs. Green
while she is In the hotel. Four of
these detectives are on duty constant.
ly, and one of them Is assigned to
watch every person who asks for Mrs
Green. According to orders given by
Mrs. Green, the clerks tell strangers
that Mrs. Green does not live in the
hotel.
At the Plaza there Is general dis
inclination to discuss the receipt of
the BLACK Hand letter. Officially II
was said that no such communication
had been received. From other sour
ces It was learned that Mrs Green had
received the letter and had been as
sured that the matter would be kept
quiet.
Although many men and women of
affairs have received threatening let
tiers signed "The Black Hand" few
of them have taken these communica
tons seriously. Mrs. Green affected
to think lightly of the incident, but
the detectives insisted upon an inves-
tigation.
The letter advised Mrs. Green to be
in readiness to pay $4,000 to messen.
ger who would call to see her, and
that she would be wise II she main
