NEWLANDS TELLS

\ statement by John T.. Lamb. q
former representative in congress

had fought reform AT the Denver
convention last summer. while they

cratic senators are lining Themselves
up with republican ideas on the tar

Senator Newlauds made Il more
direct statement than any of the 9TH
reproduced from the congressional
record: Senator Ncwlands said:

CONTEST ENDS
NEXT WEEK

NOW comes the show down.
The contest for the Appears vaca-
tion trips to Seattle will close at /
O'Clock, Saturday afternoon. July 3D..
The reports turned in this after
noon by the contestants show but one
OF them with any substantial gain,
Miss Margaret IBrown, of Gardiner
vile. Miss Kate Muller made a
slight gain but has dropped into third
place. The other girls are in such a
position that week OF real work
would put them we'll up in front.
The way he contest shapes up
now indicates that the trips will not
be won by less than 10000 votes at
least and it may be that more Will
be cast before the contest closes.
One girl turned in subscription
OF five years, which at once put her
at the head Of the list. The others
have been losing no me however,
contest is in such shape that five
one-y year subscriptions would put the
contestant turning them in ahead OF
all competitors.
Any girl in the contest that can get
a friend or two to work for her and
turn in ten One-year subscriptions
would come mighty near winning and
that contingent is so easy OF accom-
plishment that it is probable more
than one will get out and do it.

BLACK HAND A MYTH
italian Lawyer Says His Countrymen
Are Not To Blame.

CHICAGO, April l4-"The Black
Hand Society is a myth. No such
organization ever existed"
So declares Bernard Barasa a prom
inent Italian lawyer and formerly at
torney Of the Italian consul here,
commenting on the recent alleged
black hand" outrages in this city.
He is at the head OF formal move.
ment designed to abolish what he
calls a Hoax" on the public.
"The thing has gone too far" he
says. 1T is hurting the Italian peo-
pie. Matters have got to such a point
that when | go into court to try a
case before a jury | have to ask the
veniremen whether they are prejudic'
ed against Italians. | find that hun
dreds Of men are. A little question:
ing brings out the fact that this pre-
judice is founded on the black hand
stories and Italian business men are
troubled the same way.
"fhe term black hand originated in
New York. A small group Of black
mailers wrote letters to a banker
there, signing that name. Since then
it has been used thousands Of times
in connection with hundreds different
sorts Of outrages.
IAN investigation Of crimes among
Italians will show that they are either
assaults or murders. The Italian is not
often a thief. He is hot tempered
and that accounts for the assaults.
Rich Italians OF Chicago never get
black hand letters, now have person.
ally investigated fully twenty of these
black hand outrages and in every in.
stance | find either that the people
were not Italians or that the whole
thing was a fake"

and yet retained all its strength, That
made the torpedo success and tests
convinced the entire Navy,
Now that 1t has been done, the
plan seems gloriously simple, The
torpedo contains a double charge OF
explosive. Driven to its target by
compressed air, after the fashion Of
the Whitehead, the FIRST charge is ex-
ploded when the battle nose strikes
the ship at which it is aimed, Really,
it is an underwater cannon, The first
charge exploded drives the forward
part Of the torpedo through the un'
der-water armor of the vessel and
we'll into the interior Then the sec
ond charge is exploded-and, if all
goes well, in the pleasant naval way
of putting it the ship sinks. The tor
pedo which has been in use for the
past 10 years is considered practical
" negligible in battle. 1t may jar the
ship it strikes, or produce dimple in
its bottom. or possibly start leak
But, according to the judgment o.
naval experts who have watched the
performance of the new Davis gun
protection against this new torpedo
may be secured only by armoring thC
underwater portion Of the battleshiE
as heavily as that portion exposed K
the projectiles OF the lS-ineh guns
They believe that this fact will mean
ultimately, revolution in naval war
