BLACK HAND BOMB
STORY IS DENIED
IN EAST ORANGE
Reported Scare in Clyde Park
School, Laughed at by
the Authorities.

Absolute denial was made by the
school authorities and police of East

in a New York paper to the effect that
the "Black Hand Society had threat
ened the destruction of the Hyde
Park School, situated at Central and
Mum avenues"
There is no school at the place men,
toned. There is a school building In
course of erection in Central avenue,
opposite the Cemetery of the Holy
Sepulchre, but the building is not
ready for occupancy, and has neither
scholars nor teachers. According to
the New York story, the Black Hand
had threatened that unless $500 was
left in a designated spot the. school
would be blow up with dynamite to-
day. The story goes on to Estate that
the entire police force of the Oranges
is on guard about the building. 1t was
stated that Mr.. butcher. principal of
the school, had received the threaten
ing letter.
1t happens that Mr.. butcher is prin-
cipal of the Eastern School. which is
located at Main street, near Maple ave-
nue.. Mr.. butcher was out of the city
today to secure new teachers, but his
assistant, speaking for him, most en-
phatically stated that no such letter
was received. superintendent of
Schools Davey said there was nothing
in it, but that it may have started from
a little boy who asked Mr.. butcher yes
terday "what time was the school going
to blow up today"
The East Orange police were likewise
as strong in their denia1s of the whole
story. In regard to that part of the
story which referred to the many thefts
at the supposed school it was stated
that a rug had been stolen from the
Schaa1 a week ago.
