BLACK HAND IN
CHICAGO SOCIETY

Chicago, January 3-(Special)-Mrs.
er, whose mammoth reception was al
most broken up by enemies, has been
threatened with death and today United
States postal inspectors assisted by the
members of the government secret serv-
ice and fprivate detectives are conduct
ing a wide search for the writer of the
anonymous messages In the mystery.
Every effort in the investigation is be-
ing conducted with the utmost secrecy. y
Mrs. Schwab has invitations out for a
reception to be held Wednesday night at
the Congress hotel Four hundred guests
have been invited. The mysterious writer
in his messages announced that before
the guests were assembled Mrs. Schwab
would be killed.
The mysterious notes, which are now
In possession of Postoffice Inspector Stu
art, arrived shortly after the invitations
for the reception were sent out. They
caused surprise and alarm in the Schwab
home, as they followed mysterious at
tempts to annoy Mrs. Schwab when she
announced a reception which was held
at the Congress hotel December 2S.
When the first death note was received
detectives were trying to solve the mys-
terry in the notes which were received
previous to her first reception.
1t was at fl t believed that some South
side society woman, piqued because she
had not been invited to the reception of
December %, sent out the announcement
calling off that affair. Mrs. Schwab was
annoyed by messages and telephone calls
and despite the efforts of those called in
TO assist in clearing up the mystery no
solution was reached.
Federal inspectors believe the writer of
the notes is no ordinary person, but some
one intimate with the doings of fash
ionable society.
