Today infuriated farmers are
threatening to storm the jail and
hang the prisoners to the nearest

hardly be successfully resisted by
the few guards.

found murdered, bloodhounds
were rushed to the scene and put

UTICA, N. Y, Sept. "a
Though it has been proved that
the murder of the Procopie gill
and the Infusino baby was not the
work of the Black Hand, yet the
time is ripe to impress one les
son on peoples minds, and that
is this:
"If the Black Hand is ever sup
pressed, the Italians must do it
themselves. The police cannot do
|it alone"
1t was Chief of Police Edward
Brophy of this city who spoke.
1t was a conclusion uttered with
deep conviction. Utica, a city of
rs, 900 people, has 10000 Ital-
ians, and Chief Brophy finds the
regulation of the Italian district
his most difficult task.
He had been working for a
week to discover the motive and
perpetrator of the brutal murder
of two italian children, and the
twounding of another - crime
JUat SHOCkeu lne WnOle country.
He had to work along the black
hand angle as we'll as others.
1--WE have almost martial law
in the Italian district in this city.
Our people and detectives are in.
structed to stop any Italian on the
street and search him for arms.
This isn't the law, of course, it's
a form of martial law. We have
taken guns and Knives by the
score. When the Italians com.
plain say to them, We'll, il YOU
don't like it, why don't you stoI
wearing guns, and make your
friends do the sameT
''Then 1 suggest to them, as
have been suggesting for many
months, that the thing for the
Italians i'm this country TO do is tc
take their own tcountrymen In
hand. The Italians can wipe on,
this Black Hand evil.

islature reconvenes in special ses-
sion next month to amend the direct
primary law so that candidates for
the congressional position made va
cant by the death of f. w. Cushman
may be selected by the direct prl-

Under the provisions of the Wash
ington primary law as it now stands
candidates to fill out an uneXpired

workings of the act, and would be
chosen by the old convention system
in the present contingency unless the
legislature revised the law.
The sentiment in favor of chang
ing the law is most general in the
counties outside of Pierce, where Ia
coma is located.
Under the convention method, any
conflict among the aspirants for the
nomination in Tacoma would be set
tied in the selection of delegates to
the district convention. Pierce coun-
ty, with its big representation, would
come to the convention united on
one man. The result would be that
the Tacoma candidate would be
practically certain of the nomina-
