WORK OF A BOY.
Cut tbe Throats of His Boss. His Boss's Wife and Three Other
 Persons
AGENT OF BLACK HAND

New York, May GA 16-year- old boy, known only as Carmello, and employed in barber shop in Brooklyn early to-day cut the throats of his employer, Antonio Peraso, Mrs Peraso and three barbers while they lay asleep in Peraso's apart ment at 107 Fulton street. The wounds of Peraso and his wife are believed to be mortal while those of the three barbers are serious but probably not fatal. The boy es- capped.
 The police have theory that tho boy was an agent of black hand gang which had been demanding money of Peraso under threat of doing him injury and that the black mailers placed the boy in the shops in order to punish Peraso for his refusal to satisfy their demands. Car mello used a pair of scissors and razor in his attack upon the barber and employees. Frank Strafino, Mich ael Rebento and Joseph Macero, the three barbers. were first attacked by the boy Strafino was awakened from his sleep by stab in the neck an1 before he could resist the boy drew a razor across his throat in fiicting a severe wound. He was still conscious and saw the boy as he crept to the bedsides of Rebento and Macero and cut their throats while they slept. Peraso, who with his wife was asleep in an adjoining room, was awakened by stab wound in his neck and engaged the boy in desperate struggle for his life.
 The man was unarmed and the boy clutching razor in his hand slashed his employer several times about the face and neck and hands, infieting wounds from which Peraso suffered great loss of blood. The fight was going against the barber when his three assistants staggered into the room and attacked the boy.
 Together they drove him from the rooms into the street and then managed to summon assistance. It was then found that Mrs Peraso's throat had been cuts and that she was lying in bed only partially con- scious while the fight with the ap- parently insane boy was in progress.

TOM JOHNSON LOSES.
Fails In Attempt to Control Ohio Dem.
 ocratic Convention.

oCFattC NouteHtious
 Columbus, O., May 6.--By a close vote and after a stormy session Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleveland lost his fight for the control of the Democratic state convention, which will nominate state ticket, a candidate for United States senator and four delegates at large to the national convention al Denver.
 A sensational attack on Judson Hars mon, formerly attorney general of the United States and candidate for gov ernor, was made by Mayor Johnson in speech to the convention. He declar- ed that it would be mistake for the party to nominate candidate for gov ernor who was an attorney for a rail- road and who was allied with the rail road interests and opposed to the initia- tive and referendum and the franchise tax. His mention of the name of .Iud. son Harmon, however, brought forth the most notable demonstration of the opening session of tho convention.
 Mayor Johnson, according to pres ent plans, will attempt to prevent the nomination of Harmon, who is the can didate of the anti-Johnson forces for governor by having the name of A. P. Sandles of Ottawa county, clerk of the Ohio senate. presented to the conven- tion in addition to that of Atlee Pom creme Of Canton In the expectation of drawing votes from Harmon.
 Former Governor James F. Campbell of Butler county will be nominated for United States senator.
 The platform will indorse William ]. Bryan for president and instruct the delegates at large to the national con- vention to vote for him.

UNION TO CONTEST.
Local Brewers Will Take a Turn
 Out of Carl Schmid.


 The local branch of the Brew CTS union intends to contest the mandamus proceedings which were instituted yesterday by Carl Schmid to be restored to member- ship and full benefits in the organ ization, Attorney Bauby having been retained to defend the case.
 Schmid claims he was elected from the union without just cause and denied fair trial. That he took an appeal to the headquarters of the society and that the local sec retary refused to append his deal to the document and consequently he was not given a hearing. All of this he claims was in direct vio- lation of the local bylaws and the international constitution of the orr der
 The unions side of the case is to the effect that Schmid was given full and proper notice to attend a hearing of certain charges that were preferred against him. What these charges were will not be dis closed at the present. It is claimed Schmid did not attend this meeting and that he did not see the secre- tary or take any means to have the seal of the union attached to his ap- peal, and therefore his appeal was not perfected and he could have been given hearing at headquar- ters.
 Such in brief is the defense. When there will be a hearing in court none of those concerned can say but every effort will be made to get 1t assigned as soon as possi- ble. It is said that good deal of evidence and officers of the order will have to come on from O., the headquarters of the International union.
