HOUSES ARE
DYNAMITED
Black Handlers Blow up Build
inGS in Center Of Dan
vile, Ills.
FOUR PERSONS ARE
REPORTED TO BE MISSING

BY United Press Leased Special wire.
DANvILLE, H.. Nov. 2S.-Twenty-
hve frame buildings in the center Of
this city were wrecked after midnight
today by dynamite. -Four persons are
reported missing. The explosion is be-
lieved to have been the work of Black
Handlers.
The dynamite is believed TO have
been set off in fruit and wine house
owned by Joseph Mascara. an italian.
The explosion demolished Mascarfs
place and so great was its force that
practically all the buildings within the
block were demolished Plate glass
windows were shattered for several
blocks around.
Early today part Of a dynamite fuse
was found near the scene. This to-
gether with the fact that two men
were seen running away from the
scene shortly before the explosion,
leads to the belief that it was the
work of the Black Hand Society. Mas
carl said today, however, that so far
as he knew he had no enemies among
the Italians and that he has never re-
ceived any threatening letters.

the Law and order Society said
''The society has delegated this worl
TO a committee. II they decide to en-

RectOr'S Work Appreciated.

The rector of St. Aloysius' church wa
taken completely by surprise Sunday by
his parishioners. Recognizing the hare
work and the many sacrifices made by
Father Leonard, the people of the parish
had purchased a 500 fur-lined coat
which they presented to him as token
OF their appreciation. The few families
OF which the above parish is composed
have done marvellous work and accom-
plished wonders in the past five years.
When the present rector came here the
debt of the little parish was $4,000; it
is now but $4,000. In addition to this
$4,000 paid on the debt of the church
the sum of $4,000 has been paid out for
interest, purchases and repairs. Consid-
erlng the work that has been accomplish
ed and the generous efforts put forth by
the people for its attainment, the gift OF
a fur coat was altogether unexpected
and came as complete surprise to the
rector.
