The Comptroller Joins the "BlacH HAL
Victims club"

just when Comptroller Metz thought
peace was coming to him after he consented
to vote for money to begin work on the
Fourth avenue Brooklyn, subway, he has
become, TO use his OWN words. a member
Of the Black Hand Victims Club. In his
mail Yesterday were three letters threaten
ing him with death One letter cheerfllly
Informed him that unless he put aside all
other subways aud built a subway 70 Coney
Island he would be "a marked mad and
would be marked for slaughter"
Ascend letter insisted that il he wished to
live he would haze 70 stop voting against
new subways for The Bronx. IF you stand
in the way Of the people the letter read,
Il will cut your miserable heart out OF your
body. We are paying for Brooklyn bridges,
subwavs and terminals. Bronx gets moth
ing. II you vote against II again vii!
wait for you and cut your heart out. This
!, no idle threat. Last warning.
Another letter was signed Workman, +"
and stated that the writer had been out Of
work four months. II accused Mr.. Metz
Of opposing the building Of the Lexington
chance, and wound W with the threat that
unless he started the tunnel the writer
would kill him.
All the letters were mailed in Manhattan
and were written in different handwriting.
Each was illiterate, but no Borough Presi-
dent Is under suspicion.

published this afternoon in Pitts3urg that
the populations Of the two employees Of
the Farmers Deposit National Bank, ar
rested last night, will reach rerhaps,Si JoOo,-
eco. but this is denied by the bank manage
mCni.
The REGULATIONS Of Miller and Reihcr,
it is alleged, began early last summer when
they became interested in a local wildcat
stock, a lead mining proposition which was
selling at 20 cents a share, They got in at
the low price, and soon the quotation went
to 60 cents, but the hank employees did
not sell out. Instead they dipped into the
banks funds more dccYly. The stock went
to 50, but they would not sell and bought
more. Then the bottom dropped out Of the
market.
When the bank officials found that Reiber
and Young had been taking money they did
not put them under arrest, but keTt them
in the cellar Of the bank building for three
DAYS and nights until they told all they
knew.
Manager Silverman of Miller 4 Co, who
was arrested last night says Relber and
Young never traded with his firm.

MANILA TAKES STEPS
 TO DEAL WITH CHOLERA

Manila, Sept. 21.-The Civil Commits sion summoned in special session by Governor General Smith to deal with the ephidemic of cholera today decided to order 200 members of the constabu- lary into the city to assist the health inspectors in their campaign against the plague.
 It was decided to disperse as far as possible the gathering of the people and refuse permits for fiestas and like celebrations. Additional physicians and nurses have volunteered for service and have gone to the cholera hospital tai, where equipment has been provid- ed for 100 additional patients. Alfred McVeigh. a government employe and Josefinia Hall. an infant. were the only Americans reported attacked by cholera yesterday. Jose Bell, who was num- bered among those stricken last Saturday, has been taken from the list
 Twenty five new cases were report ed between six o'clock this morning and 2:30 this afternoon.

FUNDS COME SLOWLY
CHAIRMAN HITCHCOCK MAKES
 FRANK STATEMENT.
Money For Republicans Is Not Forth coming And Campaign Has Not Been Aggressive For
 Thls Year.

Chicago. Sept, 21-That the fuRds necessary to defray the expense of a long, vigorous speaking campaign have not been forthcoming was frankly ad- mitted today by Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock. of the Republican National Committee.
 The statement was made in explana- tion of the delays that have attended the beginning of the campaign work in most of the states.
 T have no apologies to make" he said. We knew long ago that we could not waste our funds and for that reason we decided that the proper thing to do was to get the states in shape for an effective campaign for the last month preceding election. To that end I have devoted most of my time to the adjustment of factional differences in large number of states where the Republicans were not pull ing together"
 Chairman Hitchcock expressed the opinion that if an active campaign could be carried on for thirty days that is, for the month of October the. Republican national ticket. will be successful in all of the normally Re- publican states and fin most of the states eHat nave oeen put m the uouot- ful column by conservative politicians.
 That was the theory when our plans were outlined at conferences which I had with the party leaders at Colorado Springs, Chicago. Boston and other places" said Mir. Hitchcock. Tt costs a great deal of money to keep a large speaking force going and even if I had thought 1t necessary I would not have been able to start the paid men before October l. But I have not thought 1t necessary and all of the leaders of the party with whom I have conferred agreed with me"

senntor BaiIev Talks.

Gainesville, Texas. Sept 21.-when an Associated Press correspondent | asked Senator Bailey today what re- ply. If any. he desired to make as to what MT Hearst said regarding him in his Memphis speech Saturday. Senator Bailey dictated the follow ing:
 Assuming that the Sibley letter which MT. Hearst read is genuine and that I am the Senator B. to whom 1t refers, am very glad that it has been given to the public, for 1t com pletely refutes a charge which my enemies have been making against me in this State for the last two years. They have been claiming that I am an attorney for the Standard oil Company and insinuating that I have been friendly to 1t In matters of legisla- a- tion.
 This letter distinctly shows that my position could not be changed to suit the interests of the Standard oil Com pany.
 H'The letter which is claimed to have been written by Mir. sibley suggests that he might arrange for MT. Archbold to talk to me and Mir. Archbold,s re- ply as read by MT. Hearst. says that he would like to talk to me.
 ''As a matter of fact MT. Sibley never made me the remotest suggestion of a conference with MT. Archbold and never spoke to MT. Archbold in my life about matters pending in Congress or any other legislative body.
 Even my worst enemies can hardly insist that had talked with ArchboId because The Congressional Record shows that I did not agree with the Standard oil view on any questions. and to insist that I conferred with MT. Archbold and that he was power less to alter my opinion as MT. Sibley admits himself to have been, would not give much comfort to my enemies"
