COMPLAINANT AND DEFENDANT
STILL UNKNOWN TO PUBLIC

New York, Jan. 19.--With both the
complainant and the defendant in the
main issue involved. still unidentified,
the United States Circuit Judge Ward
today received briefs from the attor-
neys engaged In the preliminary skir-
mish here, over what is believed to be
a criminal proceedings by the federal
government as result of recent
newspaper statements in connection
with the Panama canal purchase. The
fight began yesterday when the New
York World attorneys asked that sub
poenaes be quashed because they did
not name the parties to the cause. A
decision on the point involved is ex-
pected tomorrow.
In the meanwhile witnesses who
have not attempted to question the
regularity OF the methods used to Sc
cure their presence, We're in the fed
eral court today. All were newspaper
men.

BLACK HAND DYNA.
MITES FACTORY
The Explosion Skaters Many Win
doWs, But No One Is Killed.

Scranton, Pa. Jan. 19,-An explo-
sion of dynamite. placed presumably
by BLACK Hand gang, blew up the
macaroni factory of Nicholas Fasio to-
day. Fasio and family and four EN-
ployes who We're sleeping in rooms
above the factory. were buried in the
Wreckage and sustained serious injur-
les. The windows were blown out of
buildings 200 feet away from the fac
tory. The failure of two sticks of dy-
Mantle to explode saved that section
of the city from serious wreckage and
perhaps the wholesale slaughter of
hundreds of lives. Seven Italians are
-nnder arrest, suspected OF having COM
mtted the outrage. Three years ago
the place was dynamited, after Fazio,
who is very wealthy, refused to ae-
cede TO repeated demands of the
Black Hand for money. Two are
serving time for having been con-
nected with that affair as shown by
Fazio's testimony given at the trial.
1t is supposed that today's plot was a
matter of revenge.

PRESIDENT STOPS
ANTI.JAP BILLS
Has CaIifornia's Governor Hold Up
Passage Of Proposed Legislation.

Sacramento, Calf, Jan. 19.-The
Sacramento Union today says: Presi
dent Roosevelt has taken hand in
the anti-Japanese legislation now be.
fore the legislature and has asked the
governor to take steps to have all leg
islation held up until the president
can be heard in the matter. A letter
is now enroute to Sacramento which
will give the chief executives views
and wishes in the matter of legislation
against the Japanese. The presidents
letter to the governor follows, the let
ter being dated January Is:
1--WE are greatly concerned at news
paper reports regarding anti-Japanese
legislation in the California legisla-
ture. | have written you at length on
the subject and earnestly hope that no
progress will be made on the bills un-
til you have had a chance to receive
my letter, and if necessary discuss the
contents with the leaders of two
houses. My knowledge regarding the
international situation, particularly
with reference to emigration of jap
anese laborers from Japan to the
United States satisfies me that the
passage of the proposed legislation
would prove to be of incalculable dam
age to the state of California as well
as to the whole Union.'
To this Governor Gillette sent the
following reply:
Your telegram has been received. |
have @aused the bills to be held up
until | can hear from you. Copies of
the bills introduced affecting the jap
anese, together with briefs on the
same have been mailed to you"
Sacramento, Cal, Jan. Ex-Governor
Gillette will not send a message to
the legislature requesting that pending
anti-Japanse bills be killed, unless, af
ter he receives President Roosevelts
letter Thursday, he deems such action
necessary. 1t is said on good author
ity, however, that he will veto the
measure if it comes to him for his
signature.

LEMON IMPORTERS
SEEK REDUCED TARIFF
Hegira Of Italian Laborers to This
Country as Result of
Earthquake.

Washington, Jan. 19.-That a quar-
ter of a million Italian laborers, most
of them from Sicily and Calabria, will
leave their native land within the
coming four months, principally bound
for the United States, as the result of
the earthquake, is the remarkable
claim made by the importers of New
York city before the house committee
on ways and means, which is investi-
eating the tariff conditions. These i'm
porters declare that the lemon raising
area in Italy will lose nearly 100000
workers as a result of the earthquake.
The importers claim that unless the
duty on lemons is materially reduced
the importation of lemons will reach
an end.

FIRE BREAKS OUT IN
THE STRICKEN CITY

Messina, Jan. ia serious fire
broke out today among the ruins of
the earthquake wrecked city. The
flames spread in spite of the work
of the soldiers to check them and the
situation is very serious one. The
odor of burning flesh mingled with
smoke is everywhere and it is fear
ed that persons still alive are being
consumed. The Duke of Genoa made
a heroic rescue of demented woman
who insisted on forcing her way
through the burning pile OF ruins to
save her husband.
