BOMB MAKER CAUGHT HAVE YOU GOT IT.
Vincenza Calderone RESPONSE
bile for Black Hand Out
RACES in New York.
OWNS FIREWORKS FACTORY

New York, Feb. 15.-In the person
of Vincenza Calderone, who has been
arrested, the members of the Italian
detective squad believe that they have
captured the man who has made the
bombs used in many if not all of the
recent BLACK Hand Outrages in New
York. CalderOne was formerly q
manufacturer of fireworks at Maspeth,
Long Island. but four years ago his lit
tie factory was blown up. his wife was
killed and he himself was badly injur-
ed. He was unable to continue his
work, as a manufacturer and therefore
came to New York and went into the
business of peddling fruit. He room
ed in tenement house in Elizabeth
street. and was not suspected until a
short time ago. Then four of the
Italian detective squad at headquarters
who were detailed to discover the per-
petrators of a bomb outrage through
which the front windows Of an Italian
bank in which $4,000 in money was
exposed. were blown out. TWO men
were seen running away from the
scene of the explosion and into the
house where Calderone lived.
Marked the Crippled PeddIer.
The four detectives were at work on
the case. when two days later the Hotel
Savoia. only a few doors from the ten
ement was blown up. The detectives,
disguised themselves as peddlers, L.
borers. and immigrants in turn in an
attempt to become acquainted with the
old man, but it was not until they had
worked in the streets some time as
poddlers that they became friendly
with him. Finally the detectives saw
that he was uneasy and they arrested
him. A search of his rooms at his
home revealed a half-finished bomb, a
quantity of white powder, which is be-
lieved to be an explosive Of some sort,
and a large number of fuses. Calder
one. when taken to police headquarters
refused to give any account of himself,
and was locked up as 4 suspicious per

Fairbanks and Cannon were left Out

Or. Hurry Says Lyssophobia

WARNING NOTE is SOUNDED

Dr.. J. n. Hurry, secretary of the
state hoard of health has drafted, in
the rough. a measure to nut an end, or,
at least, to mitigate to great extent,
the evil of hydrophobia. Since a few
days ago when DR.. Hurry suggested a
plan for controlling the evil he has re-
ceived many letters of encouragement
from physicians over the state, and the
bill which he has drafted he will push
when the next legislature convenes.
This measure" said DR.. Hurry,
''cOntemplates a dog tax of no modest
proportions. Some have proposed
that we establish a Pasteur institute
to be conducted at public expense as
has been done in other states and in
foreign countries, and even in Mexico.

legislature to pass rigid law laying 4

Dangers of Society Women.

According TO DR.. Hurry there are
two dangers for the society woman who
is attacked by a dog. If she is bit
ten, she may have hydrophobia and if
she doesn't have hydrophobia she may
have lyssophobia. When you have lys-
