The Black Hand Is not cohesive,
comprehensive society, working with
mysterious signs and passwords. Given
number Of Italians with money, and
two or three ex.conviets, you have all
the elements necessary for a first class
Black Hand campaign. In New York
City, however, there are SO many
groups Of these Black Handlers that they
have come in more or less close contact
With each other. Investigation seems to
show that the leaders. at any rate, of
the different groups are acquainted, and
that they work their schemes III har-
mony, especially when their extortion
takes the form Of commercial swindling
In other words, the situation seems ripe
for the creation in the city of one fairly
powerful organized society. A little po-
lice laxity. coupled with the appearance
Of leader Of magnetism and force.

the more important facts in connection
with the event which vermonters and
New Workers win jointly celebrate the
coming summer. The writer Of the
booklet, with wen known loyalty to the
Connecticut river section Of the state
regrets that the limits of the effort
preclude the possibility Of presenting the
equally interesting historical facts from
other sections Of the state, but admits
that the purpose Of the publication has
primarily and essentially to do with the
Lake Champlain region; so he reviews
and all too briefly some Of the important
topics, namely, q thumb.naiI sketch 81
Samuel de Champlain, the explorers mar
rative Of the discovery Of the lake, a
description Of the lake, smattering Of
facts about the towns, cities aud his
torfc points which are connected with
ChampIain's visit three hundred years
ago, and ending up with presentation
Of the disputes which have arisen as to
the absolute facts of Champlain's ex.
ploration. such as the exact point where
Champlain met and overcame The Iro-
quois Indians, a. well as gaining their
lasting enmity.
