A prominent charity worker of New
Yord said the other day about Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt:
when this good and charming girl
goes to Hungary as the Countess Szc.
chenyi, | know of certain hospital
wards where she will be missed"
He paused and smiled.
But let me tell you," he said, "of
an incident that befell Miss Vanderbilt
last year. There was children's hos.
pital which she visited regularly, bring
ing fruit and flowers TO the little pa
tients, and in certain ward boy was
pointed out to her one day as a very
bad customer.
oh. he is incorrlgible. sighed tho
nurse.
Miss Vanderbilt talked a while with
the little chap and when she rose TO go
she said
SEQ here, I have heard bad re-
ports about you. Now. want you TO
promise me to be good. II you arc
good for whole week, I'll give you

THE boy promised to try to be coed.
This promise, though, he did not keep.
On her next visit Miss Vanderbilt, GO
ing to his cot, said:
I shall not ask the nurse how you
have behaved this last week. | wauy
you to tell me yourself. Now. what do
you think-do you deserve that dollar
promised you. or not?'

with troubled frown. Then he said

No. Hiram. 1t was city feller."

secret underground passages and
equipped with an arsenal containing
500 weapons besides many explosives
all arranged by the BLACK Hand"
organization of extortioners and cut
throats-has been discovered and
broken up in this city. The place was
the national headquarters of the
'Black Hand" society. When II was
raided 10 armed men were arrested.
As the raiders entered the den II
new members of the society were
lined up, all of them naked to the
waist, and each armed with stiletto.
Vincenzo Toya, said to be wanted in
New York, and Antonia Nicola, were
pointing out to the class, on the back
on one naked man, the exact spot to
drive stiletto to insure death.
In the room was a dummy on which
the class took turns at practice, and
everywhere about the wall were weird
drawings of assassinations, bleeding
hearts with daggers thrust through
them, and everywhere the Italian
words: "Camoristi Mano Nera' (Black
Hand)
The house where these strange
scenes were unearthed is n tenement
in Clay alley. an obscure alley In the
Italian quarter.
The raid was made by two platoons
OF police assisted by Italian detectives
from ten cities. the visiting police
having been working here for some

found himself confronted with novel

DEFIANCE
AROUSES PEOPLE
OF EAST ORANGE
Bill-Posters, 1t Is Claimed, Are
Ignoring Recently-Passed
Rent Ordinance.

The defiance of b~illposters to the new
East Orange ordinance. which provides
for the payment of license fees accord
ing to the length of the boards, may
possibly be checked within a day or
two. Attention was called yesterday to
the failure of the billposting company
to take out a license for 1908, as re-
quired by Law and it is said that City
Counsel Jerome d.. Gedney will ask
that arrests be made.
When the matter comes up before
Recorder Franklin w. Fort, Mr.. Ged-
ney will be present to push the case.
Since the City Council passed the or
dinance. months ago, the b~illposters
have been going ahead without paying
a cent into the city treasury. Weeks
ago a poster was arrested and fined,
but the money was never paid and he
was released. Since that time nothing
has been done. 1t is said tina Mr..
Gedney was not notified in time to a
pear.
The matter will be put up squarely to
Chief of Police James Bell. The chief
has shown a disposition to make ar
rests, but he was called off, it Is
claimed. by people higher up" 1t is
now planned to force the issue with the
billposting company.

The largest political banner in the
county was swung to the breeze last
night at Orange street M Roseville
avenue by Eleventh ward Democrats,
assisted by large delegations from sew
eral other wards. On the banner are
nkenesses Of Bryan and Kern. The af-
fair was one of the most spectacular
Democratic events ever seen in that
part Of the city. There was a big
parade. with much red fire and brass
bands and fife and drum corps all along
the line of march.
A stand was erected beneath the
banner from which speeches were made
by a number of candidates after the
parade. Board of Works Commissioner
George H. Lambert was chairman.
Among those who made short talks
were Mayor Jacob Haussling, Harry V.
Osborne, candidate for State Senator;
John w. Lane, William e. Mcguire,
candidate for alderman; Alfred Fen
wick, candidate for freeholder; John
V. D~iefenthaler, candidate for Board OF
Works; Charles r. O'Brien and Far
mer'' Orator. James E. MARITIME.
The speeches were in~terspersed with
songs by William Corcoran, w. j
Redmond and T. J. Mcintyre.
When the band played "Harrigan'
the multitude sang 1t with zest. William
P. Macksey was chairman of the COM
mittee of arrangements, with Watson
Anthony secretary.
