NEWBERRY GOES TO
COURT TO RECOVER
JOB AND BACK PAY
SEEKS MANpAMUs TO COMPEL
COMMISSIONERS SMITH TO RE-
INsTATE HIM AND PAY SALARY
DURING HIS SUSPENSION.

Acting on the petition of former
Police Captain Frank A. Newberry, an
order was issued by Judge Donovan.
Wednesday morning. requiring Police
Commissioner Fred w. Smith TO ap-
pear In court next Monday afternoon
at 1880 to show cause why man
damus should not issue requiring him
TO reinstate Newberry to his former
rank and to pay the deposed captain
his salary for the time he was sus-
pended, awaiting trial.
The officer claims that he was sus-
pended for his alleged connection with
Frank B. Hibbler In a conspiracy to
give protection to Annie Smith, keeper
Of resort in Delray. He claims that
his acquittal by a jury freed him OF
the charge and that he Is entitled to
reinstatement and the amount OF the
salary he would have earned during
his suspension. His suspension went
into effect on May 80. 1908, and COLI
tinued until he was reduced to pa
trolman, a few days ago. The amount
involved is $S75. Mr.. Newberry's salary
as captain was $125 per month: az
patrolman he receives $S8.33.
Newberry also claims that his re-
duction In rank was made without
legal notice to him. and that the only
knowledge he has OF the reason for
his punishment was that given by the
commissioner to the newspapers. that
he had written post card to Annie
Smith. Newberry admits writing the
card. which, he says. was unsigned. 1t
was written from St Louis at q time,
he says, when he was on vacation, and
had been of duty for several days. He
claims that he had good and suf-
ficient reason for writing the card. and
that 1t was sent to promote the inter
est of the police department, and to
aid In the detection OF crime among
the Hungarians, knowledge of which
came to Annie Smith because Of her
acquaintance among the people OF that
nationality.

ONLY ONE ITALIAN
SUSPECT HELD

All suspects rounded up by Patrol
men Tremonte. Kline and Oldani In
their recent "gum-shoe" campaign
against the Black Hand, have been re-
leased except Joseph Rufino. who. 1t
is announced. will be detained for
awhile longer at least. Ii may be
found necessary to release him later.
unless the police can secure more
evidence than they now have In their
possession. Rufno was employed by
Sierra & Co.. bakers, on Woodbridge
st. east, as a driver and collector, and
this fact. his friends say. accounts for
the fact that he frequently had large
sums of money In his possession.
Notwithstanding the release OF the
suspects. Commissioner Smith ex-
presses himself as we'll pleased with
the work of the special officers, par.
ticularly Oldani. whose resignation
proved to be a frame-up, and who will
probably be rewarded with berth in
the detectives Office. The commission.
er will make no definite statement as
to Oldani as yet. however. ~

NJ CABE ORDINANCE
TO THE SCRAP-H- AP
NEW MEASURE WILL BE PRE-
PARED By COMMISSION OF
BOILER EXPERTS.

And now the proposed new boiler
ordinance PREPARED by Boiler Inspect
or McCabe and his committee is to be
backed out OF the limelight by an
other boiler ordinance.
Aid. Harper, chairman of the coun-
Gil ordinance committee, viii suggest
to the council that the COMMISSION
appointed last winter to choose boil
er inspector be now delegated TO
frame new inspection ordinance.
Tho members of the commission, Har-
ry Knowlton, F. Lewis and +. f. Van
Tuyl, have stated their Willingness to
do the work free OF charge. This COM
mission was appointed by Prof. M. K.
Cooley and the members received $17a
each then for their work.
I'VE need new boiler inspection
ordinance but the proposed one Will
not do said Mr.. Knowlton to Aid.
HARPER, Wednesday. ITO tell you
all its faults. would have to go over
II section by section. II has no pro-
vision for an appeal from the decision
OF the boiler inspector in any matter.
The old ordinance Is weak In that re-
spect also. 1t is also wrong in taking
spector's hands. The incorporation OF
the Massachusetts rules regarding con-
structiop OF boilers Is not practicable
as applied to a city, although proper
for O state.
THE new ordinance should contain
a section providing for notice OF In
spections 80 that the inspectors for
the insurance companies could do
their work at the same time as the
city inspectors. We will draw up an
ordinance and you can pass II or not,
as you wish.
The developments In regard to the
matter Of passing a new ordinance are
such that II Is unlikely the matter
can be taken up fully before the next
council takes hold. Manufacturers
want 10 be heard and the old ord

pERoUs BAND.

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-Nine persons
were badly injured and more than a
score OF others were cut and bruised
by falling walls and shattered glass
today when an agent for the BLACK
Hand" society slipped over the roof
to the air shaft of the five-story tene-
ment, at $40 East Sixty-third-st.. and
dropped q bomb.
The explosion was terrific. The
walls of the big tenement reeled and
windows In every house on the block
went smashing to the street. Across
the way Is the convent of the sisters
OF the Holy Rosary. where there are
half a hundred children and dozen
or more nuns. The excitement In the
convent grew into a panic. Children
were awakened by the explosion and
as the broken glass began falling they
ran to the sisters.
When the police arrived the block
was swarming with men, women and
children, dressed In night garments.
Nine persons In the house where the
bomb dropped had to be carried from
the wreckage. The police list OF the
seriously injured follows:
Pietro Giamo. 20. cut about the
scalp and face.

face and head.
These nine were all taken to the
Presbyterian hospital The first five
were taken charge Of by physicians
and placed in wards. The others
were removed to their homes by
friends.
There Is no doubt in the minds OF
the police that this BLACK hand" out,
rage was another attempt to wreak
the vengeance Of the Italian outlaws
on Giovanni Cozussi. banker with
Offices at Sixty-third-st and First-ave
Cozussi's son was kidnapped three
years ago and held captive for weeks
The banker has Always told the pc
lice he has refused to pay the ransom

The boy was found wandering on
the street one day when the police of
New York and every city In the east
were looking for him and he was
taken TO his home. He told how he
had been captured and held in some
tenement house, but never would or
could tell the police where the tene-
ment was located
