TO ASK THE STATE
FOR ARMORY HERE
Commercial Club Is to Back Up Com
pany T. i'm Efforts to Procure
Money for Structure.

Assistance is being accorded by the
Commercial club to Company e of
North Yakima in it's efforts to pro-
cure sufficient money to enable the
company to procure its own armory
building. This assistance will take
the form of an appeal to the legisla-
ture for an appropriation. The club
will appoint a committee to see the
members of the Legislature and ask
their support to the movement. The
club now has an armory committee.
It's members are Phil A. Otter, Major
w. l.. Lemon and Lieutenant l.. l..
Bolles. This committee had a con-
ference with Captain Sample, u. S. A.,
the inspecting officer who was here a
few days ago. He declared the local
company to be one of the best he had
encountered in the state and appar-
emily greatly interested in military af-
fairs. The matter of state armory
for the local militia Captain Sample
said was purely up to the Legislative
representatives from this district.

Guido SHYLOCK: GET
VICTIMS FLESH
Teller Notices Bleeding Man and Sc
cures Arrest of His Companions
on "Black Hand" Charge.

PITTSBURG, April 24.-Alleged to
have outdone Shylock in having act
ually cut portions of flesh from the
breast of a man who refused them
money, Salvador Roberto and NicOlo
Digliotti were today held for court
With his wounds bandaged, but
weak from loss of blood, Joseph Gug-
lotto appeared at a Braddock bank
in company with the two foreigners
and asked to draw out $500. The
teller called an interpreter and was
told the story which resulted in the
arrest and holding of the two men.
At hearing Gugliotto repeated his
story, stating that he received several
Black Hand letters demanding money,
but ignored them. He said he was
aroused from a sleep to find the two
accused men standing over him. He
said they demanded $500 and that
when he refused one of them held
him while the other slit his arms and
face with stiletto Still he said he
refused to comply with their demands
till one of them began carving pieces
out of his breast.
Then GugliOtto promised to get the
money and the arrest followed, when
Bank Teller George Tod1 suspected
from the bleeding mans appearance
that something was wrong.

Young Sherry of New York to Take a
Vacation After ShOveling Cinders
For a Year.

CHICAGO, April 23-Ernest Sherry,
10 years old, son of the restaurant
owner of New York, who has been
shovelling cinders in the steel mills
at Gary, Ind, for the last year at the
princely salary of 81 day, yesterday
secured a leave of absence and left
for New York. There he will Join his
m other on a European trip.
Young Sherry quit college more

want to go to school any more. HIS
father told him he would either have
to go to school or go to work.
We'll, I'll go to work, then" the
young man replied.

Through William E. Corey of the
United States Steel corporation, a
friend of Mr.. Sherry's, the youngster
was sent to Gary, Ind. The father
gave orders that his son was 20 BIZ
given as much hard labor as he could
stand.

said Mr.. Corey. when it comes to
working in the steel mills, these COL

The youthful scion of the Shorty
wealth buckled down year ago last
March. Since then he has spent most
Of his time shovelling cinders. He lived
at one of the rooming houses in
Gary, carried his lunch to the mills
in little tin bucket, and practically
| became one of the laborers at the
plant.
The young man 1t is said, accumu-
lated no bad habits during his em-
ployment at the mills, and every night
he was to be found at the rooming
house, studying books on steel and en-
cheering.
Recently his mother decided that
her son needed little vacation, and
so she induced him to accompany her

this is not 50.
More Men Are Needed.
The reclamation service, he says,
probably has announcements out in
Seattle at the employment offices ask
ing for laborers as the demand is in
excess of the local supply. Some 100
additional men than those its possible
to procure here are needed at this
time for the new camps which are be-
ing opened. In order to obtain these
the agents are seeking for them
wherever they are likely to be found
but that is ALL Mr.. Swigart knows
of no effort of an emergency char
acter and does not anticipate any such.
Will Have Force of 800.
There are in the employ of the SER
vice, at the present time, in the Tieton,
some 300 men. This is the crew re-
quired at this time to prosecute the
spring work. Various camps will be
opened from time to time and it is
expected that the normal force
throughout the summer will be some
600 men This will be approximately
the best that can be done, all things
considered.
Naturally every effort is being made
to push the work but it is of an
enorm Gus character. The best pos
sibe will be done under the existing
conditions, but an abnormal effort or
emergency undertaking, according to
the project engineer, is not within the
present schedule.
