BRUTAL MURDER
BY BLACK HAND
Another MerciIess "BIack Hand" Crime
Enacted in Chicago Last Night
Wealthy Cigar Maker Shot.

CHICAGO. May Smother BLACK
Hand crime-merciless cruel and in
tangible-was given the police here
last night to solve.
Mariana Zagone, aged Al, wealthy
cigar manufacturer, who has narrowly
escaped death on three previous occa-
sions through lis refusal to comply
with the demands of his mysterious
enemies, was shot in the temple while
sitting in a chair in his brother-in-
laws saloon and is reported to be ~
ing at the hospital.t
When the police arrived they found
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-05-08

Zagone lying on the sidewalk in front
of the saloon. A revolver was found
under him. Joseph and Nicolasi Car
melio, saloonkeepers, were arrested,
but they protested that they knew
nothing of the shooting.
Further search by the police in the
saloon revealed pool of blood on
the floor near chair. In the rear
they found rag that had been used
to wipe blood from the floor of the
saloon. A closer inspection showed
that Zagone had been shot, probably
while reading paper, and that he had
been dragged to the sidewalk.

The Doctor Got Excited.

Knoxville Express: A physician
and druggist from the little town OF
Collins went to Des Moines the other
day to buy a stock of paints and var
nishes for his drug store. His office
girl accompanied him to assist in Sc
lecting the stock. They found the
wholesale house in sumes, and
this so excited the doctor that he pro-
cured a marriage license and married
the office girl, SO the day was not
wholly lost.

The Result of the City Election

Quite a bit of good-natured rivalry
entered into the election of the munic-
ipal officers last Tuesday. So far as
we can note from surface indications
the rivalry did not reach the point Of
creating ill-feeling. That the matter
of who should be mayor for the ensu-
ing year was not definitely settled,
should be matter for regret. If, as a
prominent attorney has said, it was
necessary to elect mayor at this time,
it had been vastly better to have put
two candidates before the voters.
Should the old council refuse to
issue certificate of election to the
candidate who was elected on the face
of the returns, and the present incum-
bent continue to serve, the question,
Can mayor, illegally holding office,
make binding contract" must con-
front the council every time an ordin-
ance comes up to be signed. 1t had
been much better to have settled this
question before than have it come up
after the election.

spent in the Twin Cities for medica.
treatment.
George Hoxsey, who has been as
sisting at the Tumwater Savings Bank,
returned to school Monday.

We often hear some one deplore the
snowfall, who underestimate the ben
efits of the snow to crops and particu-
larly to the fruit crop. The snow acts
as a blanket to the trees and prevents
the injury which freezing weather
would undoubtedly cause if the ground
was bare. The twelve or fourteen
inches of snow which fell the past
week insures full crop Of apples next
year. The shortage in the fruit crop
the past season was caused by the
ground being bare of snow last winter
up to the 23rd Of December, in 'conse-
quence of which the ground froze to a
depth of from six to ten inches. We
hailed the snow with delight, and
would have been pleased to see it two
weeks earlier.

SCURVY AMONG STARVING
/. w. w. PRISONERS

Spokane, Dec 5--Disease resembl-
ing scurvy has broken out among
l. w. w, prisoners confined in the
old Franklin school building 1t
is believed to be the result of lack
of vegetable food The gums of
three men have turned dark blue
and their teeth are so loose they
can scarcely keep them in their
sockets.
The police have reduced rations
in the effort to starve the revolu-
tionists into submission to the anti
street speaking ordinance.
The Franklin school building is
declared to be in frightfully un-
sanitary condition. 1t has not been
scrubbed since the prisoners were
taken there.

Cleopatra

For nearly two thousand years it has
been common for men to say regret
fully that for woman Anthony threw
a world away. Maybe it has all been
sympathy wasted. Old Plutarch was
not a bit sentimental, but his descrip-
ton of Cleopatra makes it reasonably
clear that the woman had more
masterful brain than the man and withal
a charm of womanhood well nigh
irristible. He admits that there were
more beautiful women, but he
adds: The attraction of her person
joining with the charm of her CONVEX
sation and the character that attended
all she said or did, was something be-
witching. 1t was pleasure merely to
hear the sound OF her voice, with
which, like an instrument of many
strings, she could pass from one lang
uage to another; so that there were
few of the barbrous nations that she
answered by an interpreter; to most of
them she spoke herself, as to the
Ethiopians, Iroglodytis, Hebrews,
Arabians, Syrians, Modes, Parthians
and many others whose language she
had learnt" The rough Roman sol
diers under her spell gave world for
her and thought the price was cheap.

Managua, Dec. 5.-President Ze-

to send a commission to Nicaragua
to investigate conditions existing
here, and says that if its findings
show that his administration is det-

resign. President Zelaya believes
the information sent to the United

Would Control Stocks.

The recommendation for the con-
troll of the issue of stocks and bonds
by corporations is aimed at the
evil popularity known as stock water
ing, while those for the expansion
of the duties of the bureau of cor
porations and the creation of new
bureau in the department of justice
to deal with violations of the anti
trust, anti-rebate and railroad laws
suggest closer inspection and con-
troll of interstate corporations.
Those for the readjustment of the
duties and powers of the interstate
commerce commission, the creation
of a railroad court and the amend
ment of the Sherman antitrust law,
are partially in line with Roosevelt's
plans and partially to the initiative
of President Taft himself. The work
ings of the railroad rate law have
not been entirely satisfactory in
practice, and this proposed legisla-
ton is for the purpose of remedying
the defects in the act.
President Taft would divide the
executive and judicial functions of
the commission, giving the last
named to a court proper

THE TAFT POLICIES
An Outline of the Recommendations
of the President to Congress in
His Annual Message.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE program
placed before congress by President
Taft in his annual message is the
most extensive and ambitious ever
proposed by chief executive. 1t
even dwarfs the recommendation
made by Roosevelt. Ten main poll
cies are urged by the president, be-
sides list of minor items covering
routine matters and questions of
secondary Importance. They are:
Supervision of the issue of stocks
and bonds by interstate corporations.
REIMBURSEMENT of the duties and
powers of the interstate commerce
commission.
Expansion of the duties of the
bureau of corporations.
Creation of a new bureau in the
department of justice to deal with
violations of law by interstate car
riers
Establishment of so-called rail
road court"
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law
Creation of a postal savings bank.
Ship subsidies.
Amendment of the procedure re-
garding the granting of injunctions.
Conservation of natural resources.
One of the minor policies favored
by the president is the consolidation
into a national health bureau of all
instruments for the investigation,
prevention and cure of disease,
tional government or may properly
be included

One or two parties who have been

One or two parties who have been
living in Leavenworth the past summer
went to the Sound country some weeks
ago, claiming they did not like the
prospects of Leavenworth snowy win
ter. The aforesaid parties are welcome
to their choice of a habitat. In the
past two weeks the Sound country has
had its annual flood, which was more
destructive than usual. A damage of
over million dollars has been caused
to the coast lines between Tacoma and
Bellingham. Thousands of acres of
rich land in Snohomish and Skagit
counties have been inundated by both
salt and fresh water through the break
ing of dykes. Roads and bridges
have been washed away by the same,
and the loss Of crops and other farm
property has been enormous. Heavy
rains and high tides have flooded Ho-
GUAM, South Bend, Aberdeen and
other tidewater cities, and to cap the
climax, big fall in temperature the
past few days, with heavy snow storms
and high winds, have altogether made
the Puget Sound winter climate
raging nightmare and a thing to be
dreaded, alongside the peaceful, quiet
snowfall at Leavenworth and an equa-
BILE temperature that is bracing and
enjoyable. Oh, you flood, fog and
mist victims of the Sound! Come to
Leavenworth and enjoy real decent
winter weather, where no such disa-
greeable surprises are in store.
