ITALIAN POLICE
SQUAD TO WAR
ON BLACK HAND
Commissioners Likely to Take
New Tack in Attempt to
Suppress Outlaws.

Steps will probably be taken by the
Police Board at its meeting this after
noon to organize an Italian squad of
policemen for the purpose of dealing
with the Black Hand in this city.
There is such a squad in New York
at present, and, while it has not sue
ceeded in stamping out the dreaded or
ganization yet it has done much in
ferretting out crimes that have been
committed by the band.
At present there are half q dozen
Italian policemen in the local force.
all of whom have made excellent Off
GERS, but they are scattered over the
city. The idea Of the squad is to have
the men devote all of their time in
REFRESHING the Black Hand gang
I'VE want at least a dozen more
good, fearless italian men on the police
force" said Captain Christie, of the
Third Precinct.
II could use half a dozen more men
of the same type as Victor Fortoriello,
the only italian man 1 have" said
Captain Brown, of the Second Precinct.
There. is no doubt that we need
more men who can work on Italian
cases and understand them, and l am
heartily in favor of any move to better
this branch of the. police force Of New
ark" is the comment made by Police
Commissioner William r. Bennett.

ROTTERDAM TALKS.
Wants State Committee to Kill
New Primary Law.

JERSEY CITY, March 5.-County
Clerk John Rotterdam, who recently
succeeded Colonel Samuel D.. Dickin-
son as Republican organization boss in
Hudson County, was the entire of an
admirlng crowd of his followers at a
meeting last night of the association
bearing his name. The association,
which was formerly the Samuel d.
Dickinson Association, is now one of
the largest in point of numbers of any
political organization in the county.
Rotherham's leadership was praised
by Marcus Higgenbotham, Coroner
Chauncey Bonnell and others. They
declared that with the County Clerk at
the head of the Republican organiza-
tion there would not be any more star
chambers at which nominations and
appointments would be made. The new
leader was hailed as a man of the peo-
pie who did not carry his head high in
the air, and who would not turn a cor
ner to avoid meeting a seedy-looking
follower.
Pressed for a speech Rotterdam
raped the proposed new primary law,
and lambasted the Republican State
committee for not taking steps to have
1t defeated.
"They can shout boss all they like
said Rotherham, but I want to tell you

party do not want me as a leader, I

SENATOR PROCTOR
DEAD HIS WIFE
Ill IN LAKEWOOD
For Many Years He Was a
Prominent Figure in BUSH
ness and Politics.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-United
States Senator Redfeld Proctor, of
Vermont, died yesterday afternoon,
after a short illness following an at
tack of grip. The Senator's son, Gov
ernor Fletcher Proctor, of Vermont,
who was summoned to the city, was al
his bedside. Senator Proctor was II
years old.
Another son. Redfeld Proctor, jr.,

Lakewood, N. J., when his father died.
The Senator had been in feeble.
health ever since Congress opened.
When news of his death reached the
Senate, Senator McLaurin, of Missis-
sippi, was uring the passage OF a bill
to increase the pay of the army, a
measure that for many years mad at
tracted the interest OF the late YER
mont Senator. He had advocated put
ting the army on an equality with the
navy, as regards the pay of enlisted
men, for many years. The Senate ad-
journed.
Senator Proctor was reputed to be
II OF the wealthiest members of the
United States Senate. He wore his
beard trimmed in the way President
Lincoln adopted. He was largely in
terested in the marble industry, was
identified with other commercial pur-
suits, was a Civil War veteran, was
Secretary of War during President
Harrison's administration, and had
been in the Senate since 1891.
From the time the late Senator en-
tered the Senate until illness incapici-
tated him he was one of the most active
men in Washington. In addition to di-
recting the affairs of his vast marble.

Quoted for his workmen and a benefit
life insurance company maintained for
them, Senator Proctor was a leader in
all questions of national Importance.
Once asked why he worked so hard
Senator Proctor replied:
II always want to be doing something
buying or selling. If 1 couldn't trade
anything else L believe I'd go and swap
J~ackknives."
Senator Proctor had been accused of
using his office to promote the interests
of his marble business. 1t was true
that his marble was used in erecting
public buildings and much of his marble
was purchased to supply headstones for
dead soldiers in Arlington and other
cemeteries. 1t was shown, however,
that enator Proctor's company had
good Marble to sell, and that it was
offered at low prices.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed. The remains will
be taken tonight to Proctor, VT, the
late Senator's home, for interment.

To provide work for the unemployed,
the finance committee of Common
Council last night gave to the various
departments all the money that will
be available from the contingent fund
for March to start public work, and
Chairman Sinnott expressed his regret
that City Auditor Forman would have
only $4,000 to advance for the begin
ming of work in anticipation of the APP
preparations from the tax levy.
The Board of Works, through Com
missioners Denman and Book, asked
for $4,000 in. anticipation of the appro-
priation to be made for street work,
and were granted $4,000. The Shade
Tree Commission. through Commits
sioner Charles G.. Ellsworth, asked for
$4,000 to start work on the parks. and
was given half that amount, with the
assurance that additional money would
be given when money was available.
DIR. Herman c. H. Herold, president
of the Board of Health, made an item
lied statement of expenditures at the
tuberculosis Sanitorium at Verona,
and showed that there was a balance
of only $500 on hand, and for the finish
ing of the work and the completion of
the equipment asked $4,440,0S. The
money was allowed and will be de-
Quoted from the appropriation TO be
made to the board. +
The $4,000 shortage in the sinking

sewer bonds which will come due April
4 was taken up and City Counsel
James r. Nugent and Comptroller J.
Henry Bachelor We're authorized to
draw a form of bond for one year to
make good the shortage.
The full amoun of the bonds is $780,
600, and the shortage was due to the
fact that sufficient money was not set
aside at the time of their issuance to
meet the payment. The surplus from
the sewer bonds, which will mature
next year, will make good the deficit
and there will be no loss to the city.
The market committee, through AL
derman Mills, askedNf for $500 to build
the addition to the Centre Market.
This, 1t was pointed out, is a good busl-
ness proposition as the rents from
stalls would net the city $500 a year.

Jury Failed to Agree

Considerable interest was manifested

of A. L. Refs, for hourishing a deadly
weapon in an ARRAY at his saloon on the
night of July 3. Prosecuting Attorney
Rockford, of Colville, appeared for the
state and NJ. NJ. Summons for Refs. A
jury trial was had and a number of wit
nesses called. Most of the day was
taken with the hearing OF testimony and
arguments of council, and it was not
until late in the afternoon that the case
went to the jury. The jury spent sey-'
eral hours celebrating over the matter
and finally notified the Judge that there
was no prospect Of their arriving at an
agreement. 1t is understood that five
stood for acquittal and one for convic-
ton.
County Attorney Rockford will insist
on re-trial of the case, and Aug. 18th
has. been set as the date for holding it.
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Refs was
again arrested by Deputy Sheriff Hynes
