BLACK HAND BAND
 FOUND IN MADRID
Special from United Press


 Madrid, July S.-Evidenee of the ex- isting of band of criminals whose operations are similar to those of the Black Hand' has been discovered by the authorities and despite efforts to suppress it. the police announce to- day that they have met with no sue cess. The trouble started in the dis trict of Mareda and the operations have extended all over Spain. The record of crimes began in the town of Mareda, nearly a year ago with series of four murders about a week apart. The victims were all killed by hatchet blows on the head. Several persons complained to the police that they had received blackmailing letters and despite precautions they met the same fate.
 In June the operations of the gang were brought to climax by the mur- der of Don Alteder a rich Madero mer- chant, his wife, daughter and a man who had been visiting their home. The bodies were found on tine floor. The skull of each victim had been split open with a hatchet. In one of the rooms a blood covered hatchet was found. The police believe they were killed because they refused demands for money and that their guest was killed because he happened to be in the house at the time-
 For several days before the Alteder murders were reported and since that time, the police have received word from others ;n different parts of Spain that they have received threatening letters demanding money. Detectives have been sent from here to investi- gate and the police declare that they have one of the most dangerous bands in the. criminal history of Spain to deal with. No clues have been reported as yet.

CAPTURE OF SOLDIERS
May Lead to Revival of Aus k trian-Servian Troubles
 Grave Fears Entertained.
Especial from United Press.)

(Speclal rom United PreSS.)
 Belgrade, July 8.-Through the con dftion of suppressed excitement which characterizes the Servian court, it gradually became known to-day that grave fears are entertained lest the capture of 250 Austrian soldiers on a Servian island in the river Dyer. yes terday may lead to a revival of the troubles which it would be impossible to allay.
 It developed that the fainting fit which caused King Peter to fall from his horse while riding in the Tops chider Park yesterday followed imme- diately the arrival of a courier with news of the presence of Austrians in Servian territory. It is believed that King Peter believed the incident sig nalized the renewal of Austrian ag- sreSSion which would endanger his throne and lis life
 Although he has practically. reeov- cred from the seizure King Peter to- day is half crazed with anxiety over. the outcome of the affair. A formal protest has been forwarded to Vienna. and it is understood that in answer the Austrian government has protest ed against the arrest of the soldiers In court circles here it is expected that the worry and trouble attendant upon the matter coming at this time after King Peter has just succeeded in tiding over a Servian-Austrian crisis will undoubtedly terminate in his ab- dication.

DEATH COMES TO
 AGED ODD FELLOW
For 37 Years Frederick Botsford Was Secretary of Grand Lodge of.State- A Former Clerk of Shell Fish Commissions.

New Haven, July 8.-At his home at 2S Pearl street. one of the most promi- nent of the older residents of New Ha- ven. Frederick Botsford. died last night of heart disease due to general debility and old age.
 MT. Botsford, who was a prominent figure in New Haven life for a great many years and one of the great build CTS of the Independent Order of Odd was in his S9th year, having been born in Woodbury in 1920 and being eighty-eight years and eight months of age.
 About 20 years ago he was elected town clerk which position he held for two terms of two years each. After that he was made secretary of the shell fish commission of the state with which commission he was connected for IA years. resigning the position of clerk in 1896 with high praise from the members of the commission for the ex- cellent service he had rendered it.
 The greater part of the vigorous part of his manhood was spent in the work of the I. O. O. F., of which organiza- tion he was grand secretary for the state of Connecticut for period of 57 years beginning in 1869 and lasting Vun- til his resignation May IS, 1906. Upon his resignation his distinguished and invaluable service to the organization was f1ttingly recognized by the order by its making him grand secretary emeritus for the rest of his life. An idea of the great work of upbuilding fMhich he accomplished is conveyed by the figures of membership which show that when he took office the order had 2.292 members in the state and when he resigned 16,6
 He was initiated into the order as a member of City lodge, No. 36 of this city, April IA, 1S47. He then went through the choir in this lodge and be- came a member of the grand lodge of Connecticut and in 1s67-1S6S he was grand master of the grand lodge. In 1869 above stated he became grand secretary. He also became a member

WASHINGTON PEOPLE SUFFERING WITH
 AEROPLANE FEVER
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, July s.AThe weather is hot in the National capitol and the tariff debate has been warm and de- pressing. But the hottest thing in Washington just now is the throng of patients who arc suffering with aero plane fever, the latest disease Des- pite the shrivelling sunshine and chok- ing dust of the Bort Meyer Parade Ground where the Wright brothers are making their flights, aeroplan1tes thrive and multiply.
 Sena tors, who are well known to be as patient and self-contained as baseball fan with 1.-two out and the bases full" left the chamber and where the sun beat mercilessly down upon them. Patience is the crowning attribute of the aeroplanist patient.
 They will wait for an hour-a nerve racking. temper rasping hour-before the WrightS finally put in an appear ance.
 And the wrights are so encouraging to the spectators. Hours pass and still there is much to be done. About this time you are thinking about the dinner that is getting cold when at last they start the pesky old engine They hoist the weight and Orville climbs into the little two-by-four inch seat in the middle of the lower plane forward. You think now you will see the flight in peace. Perhaps, perhaps not But finally Wilbur takes his seat in one corner ana the macnlne starts off like a pelican and glides along just above the ground trying to mount in the air. It is a wonderful thing, this aeropIane, and because it is wonderful if it comes down with a bump in a cloud of yellow dust 200 yards from the starting point you don't care, all you wonder, is he going to try it again.
 If they don't of course you get on the same car with 5000 others and go home. Then you return to Fort Never to sweat and watch Wilbur and Orville again. That's the way things are going now and if they keep it up long enough Washington will have the real old aeroplanitis and Congress will vote the signal corps that $70,000, 900 or thereabouts for the promotion of aero nauticS.
 The next flight will probably take place Saturday-if the wind is favor able, if the engine behaves properly and if there is nothing else to pre- vent The damaged canvas of the plane has been repelaced and the skids repaired Wilbur believes he has dis covered the reason for the balkineSs of the machine while in mid-air on the recent flight. The fault is with the magneto. he believes and one reason for his trip to New York, on Tuesday was to interview the maker of this device. The maker told him that by increasing the insulation further trou- ble would probably be prevented.

Makes Sharp Reply to Head of Combi. nation Ladder Company of
 Providence.
ORDINANCES WERE NOT VIOLATED
There Was Time When Mir. Richardson Had if All His Own Way and Con. tracts Were Made by Previous Board Without Advertising, Says COmmis. sioner.

Relative to the statement of c. N. Richardson, proprietor of the Combi- nation Ladder Co.,, of Providence, R l., published on Tuesday evening, Mayor Lee said today, MT.

e can fy to San Francisco from Vfc-

he can fly to San Francisco from Vic toria in less than five hours. The machine carries a 222 pound engine which develops immense horsepower. The sweeping claim by Gibson for the machine is that it eTnbodieS entirely new principles and carries a set of governors or balancers by which the ship rights itself in midair and does not need the delicate balancing nec- essary to other airships. Gibson even claims that those governors are so eff fective. that if the machine is started upside down from the ground it will right itself automatically after it has gone a few feet.
