STORE DIVIDED
BY WORD OF DEED

ASBURY PARK, July 9.-This resort
has a store divided against itself It is
run by George A.Wllliams, druggist on
Kingsley street. Upon entering the shop
patrons see a large sign, which reads:
NOTICE-The sale Of drugs. toilet articles.
perfumery, soaps, etc, must be confined 10
this side OF the store.
On the north side of the store Mr..
Williams and his clerks dispense soda
water TO customers, but the cases con-
tanning drugs and toilet articles were re-
moved yesterday TO the south side
This unusual condition of affairs is
the result OF a writ Of injunction issued
by the court OF chancery at the request
Of DIR. Frederick F. Coleman, a riva
druggist. Coleman some time age
owned the site upon which the Williams
store stands. When he sold il he stipu-
lated with the new owner that no drug
store should be conducted upon the
property within a certain time. This
contract, he showed TO the court, had
been violated, and the injunction Is the
result, for one-half OF the Williams store
is on the restricted side.

The first knowledge which the police
had of counterfeiters operating in the

coins upon them for small purchases.
The counterfeit money usually was
passed after nightfall, so that It's spu-

Captain Gallagher decided 10 run down
the counterfeiters without the aid OF

SOW HIMSELF N PRISON
! AND DREAM COMES TRUE
Fate First Revealed in Austria Overtakes
Glowodosk in Spokane.

In Austria Eight years ago, or
Ave years before he left for Amer
lea, George Glowodosk, the young
Austrian who was convicted Of
burglary today in Judge Kennan's
court, claims to have had a dream
in which he foresaw the fate that
has now befallen him. In this
dream he claims to have beheld a
vision in which he saw himself be-
hind the bars In prison in some
American city, and apparently in
great distress of mind and body.
This premonitory vision haunted
Glowodosk for two or three years
afterward and caused him to defer
his desire to join the thousands
of his countrymen who were leav-
ing every year for America.
Glowodosk finally overcame his
superstitious fears, due to the
strange dream, and three years
ago landed in New York. He man.
aged to find work readily and sue
ceeded in getting along SO well
in his new home that the memory
of his boyhood vision had about
faded away.
On the last Fourth of July Glow
odosk came to Spokane from Taft,
Mont, and that night was picked
up by the police for the burglary

new FEDERAL OFFICERS

for the job If he exercises that
function.
The prospective United States
marshal appointment is another
problem just at present. The one
certain thing is that neither sen.
ator nor congressman will expert
ence any difficulty in finding plenty
of willing ones to choose from.
Hartson's hold on the postoffice
will cause no general consterna-
ton, and he has filed the job and
is one of the most obliging of pub
lie officials. He has organized an
effective working force, and the
service is good in the face of a
constantly increasing volume Of
business.
No complaints on personal or
professional grounds are heard
against Avery or Baker for that
matter, but they were on the los
ing side, and the policy Of the vic
tor taking the spoils and regarding
the faithful Herewith is not yet
entirely extinct in the United
States.
Prospects are also squally for
United States Marshal Hopkins in
the western Washington federal
Jurisdiction, and ID. B. Crocker, in
ternal revenue collector. In all
probability the slate will be wiped
clean of the last vestige of An
keny's senatorship. and the clean
ing will doubtless extend to the
subordinate Offices under the sew
eral department heads.
Federal judges are not affected,
as they are appointed for life.

Avy, Baker, Hopkins and

There will be some new faces In

suit of Ankeny's defeat by Jones,

It rs considered certain that
United States Attorney Avery and
United States Marshal Baker will

Harrison will be undisturbed.
Avery and Baker are Ankeny ap-
poiptees and were his supporters
naturally in the bitter fight before
the primaries. With Jones in the
senate their grip on federal jobs
has sbecome reduced to an infantile
grasp.

TO HOLD
BLACK HAND
SUSPECT

Frank AIbino, the Italian knife
wielder who was arrested Tuesday
night by Patrolman Mcdonnell on
suspicion that he was a member
of the BLACK Hand" has been
charged with assault, on which
charge he will be given hearing
this afternoon. Albino went to the
John Nichols saloon. pulled long
knife and demanded money OF
Nichols. .
This led the police to believe he
was connected with the Black
Hand" society. He was drunk ut
the time and claims he did not
know what he was doing. The POI
lice, however. believe he Is o
member of the society and capable
of throwing some light on the MUIR
der Of Ernest Santaro, the alleged
BLACK Hand" agent who was MUIR
dered recently. Little is known of
the prisoner except that he appears
in town periodically.
Information that brother OF
Ernest Santaro. the Italian BLACK
Hand" agent killed here recently,
is serving a two year sentence in
the Canadian prison for alleged
"Black Hand" extortion. reached
the police last night In a letter
from police authorities OF Fernies
b. G..
This adds to the belief Of the
dead mans connection with the
murderous society, and that he
was killed by other members. The
dead man. the Canadian police be-
lieye. was one OF five ''Black
Hand" suspects who broke jail and
the only one not recaptured. He
got away after running revolver
fight. but was believed to have
been wounded. One OF the others
gave himself up and three wer0
cornered and captured.
Ten members Of the gang are
serving sentences for attempting
extortion. The one who escaped
was named Ernest Santaro and the
description fits the murdered man.

FACTION FIGHTS
At DENVER

DENVER, Nov. 12.-After quar-.
reling all morning, the delegates to
the labor convention failed to
reach a decision in the contest be-
tween the two factions of the Elec-
trical Workers union seeking seats
as delegates. The report of the
special committee appointed to in.
vestigate the fight was taken up
Immediately after the convention
resumed.
Even more bitter Is the fight be-
tween the opposing factions Of the
United Mine Workers Of the dis
rupted delegates. Some want John
Mitchell to be president. but most
are against him, and they are op-
posed by the supporters of Presi-
dent Lewis, who succeeded
Mitchell.
The Lewis faction Is bitterly op-
posed to Mitchell because he is
one OF the vice presidents Of the
federation as well as an Officer of
the Civic federation. Lewis stirred
up the antagonism because Mitch
ell refused to recognize the cleo
ton Of officers of the several dis
trict union of mine workers in
Ohio and Indiana.
