Washington. May 6.-The staunch.
est opponents Of the Vreeland bill
made sure before participating in

In speech In the house Tuesday
Mr.. Hitchcock of Nebraska charged
.that the government had been cheated
out Of no less than $57.OOo,0o by the
sale by the interior department of
100000 acres Of timber and stone
lands at the minimum price. He con,
tended that whereas only $2.58 an acre
had been received much more could
have been obtained II the department
had not sold the land for the lowest
price fixed by law. Mr. Mondell Of wy,
oming said that while much Of the
land had become very valuable since
passing into private ownership, it was
doubtful whether any large proportion
of was worth more than the minimum
price at the time Of It's sale by the
government.

ployer. Antonio Peraso. Mrs. Peraso

asleep in Perasos apartment at 107
Fulton street. The wounds of Peraso
and his wife are believed to be mortal
while those of the three BARRIERS are
serous but probably not fatal. The
boy escaped.
The police have q theory that the
boy was an agent Of the black hand
gang which had been demanding mon
ey of Peraso under threat of doing
him injury, and that the blackmailers
placed the boy in the shop in order
to punish Peraso for his refusal to
satisfy their demands.

razor in his attack upon the barber
and his employees. Frank Strafino,
Michael Rebento and Joseph Macero.

by the boy. Strafino was awakened
from his sleep by a stab in the neck

flicting severe wound. He was still
conscious and saw the boy as he crept
to the bedsides of Rebento and Mace
no and cut their throats while they
slept.
Peraso, WHO with his wife was
asleep in an adjoining room, was
awakened by stab in his neck and
engaged the boy in a desperate strug.
gle for his life. The man was un-
harmed and the boy clutching razor
In his hand slashed his employer
several times about the face. neck
and hands, infiicting 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.
1t was then found that Mrs. Peraso's
throat had been cut and that she was
lying in bed only partially conscious
while the fight with the apparently in.
sane boy was in progress.
