Y IN SICILY.
New York Nemesis Of
Black Hand Victim
Of Band.

PALERMO, Sicily, March 13.-Liea-
tenant Joseph Petrosini, of,the New
York police department, was shot down
and killed last night near his hotel.
The identity Of his assassins, who es-
capped, is mystery.
He had come here on an important
mission, which had for it's object the
protection of the peaceful Italians of
America.
NEW YORK, March 18--Joseph Pc
trosini was the Black Hand expert OF
the New York police department and a
terror to Italian criminals. 1t is said
that he had more convictions for mur-
der to his credit than any five police
men connected with the detective bu-
reau, 3tss a.
He went to Italy more than a year
ago to work on plan suggested by
Police Commissioner Bingham, the
basis of which was to be the adoption
of means to check the tide of undesir-
able Italians and Sicilians to this coun-
try, and particularly to New York city.
A native of Italy and man of great
experience on the local police force, Pc.
trosini was the best all-around man to
accomplish the mission. A private sub
scription was started and $4,000 was
raised.
With this to defray the expense of the
Undertaking Petrosim left for his ma.
tive land to establish bureaus through
which it was hoped to keep such com.
plete records that the news of the de-
parture from Italy or Sicily of any
criminals could be flashed to this coun-
try almost immediately. a
Prominent italians. In the city are OF
the opinion that the detective met death
among his countrymen as a direct re-
suit OF his untiring efforts to suppress
the Mafia, the Camorra and the Black
Hand, but they think his sudden death
will only serve to kindle anew the feel
ing against these criminals.

tives McCafferty he Immediately Sent

BISHOP thinks
ALl'S WRONG
(By United Press,l

NEW YORK, July 12.--Some-
what radical declarations were
made in an Interview by Bishop
Charles d. Williams of Michigan,
one of the leading. prelates of the
Protestant Episcopal church in his
state. The bishop comes out plain
ly and speaks with unusual direct
ness for, man of his station.
America is. materialistic and in
dividualistic and inhuman," said
Bishop Williams. American pa
triotism is egotism. Our motto is
too much, Our country, may she
be in the right, but our country,
right or wrong
AL that we think of here is
money. No other country in the
wrold worships money the way we
do. Our congress is run by the
trusts and Senator Aldrich. The
poor man has not a chance.
Not another nation holds human
life as lightly as we do. In Pitts
burg last year 1000 human bodies
were MANNED or killed by accidents
from which they should have been
guarded. Our laws for the protec-
ton of human life are neither prop
erly made nor properly enforced.

WE'RE RIGHT
SAYSST|CKNEY
(By United Press.)

SEATTLE, July 12.-President
A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great
Western. who is in Seattle attend
ing the fair, believes that justice is
on the side of the inland cities in
their fights for more equitable
rates. Stickney is one of the most
Independent railroad magnates in
the country and was on the side of
Roosevelt in his encounters with
the transportation companies.
President Roosevelt's enforce
ment of the anti-rebate law has
done something to eliminate the
secret rate evil" said President
Stickney, though 1t fails to pre-
vent the discrimination as to rates
between cities. The decision in the
Spokane rate case aims at the
latter evil 1t is apparently the
purpose not to permit railroads to
build up one community and one
set of merchants at the expense of
another.
IF, for example, it is determined
that the rate from st. Paul to Sc
attic, which is lower than the rate
from st. Paul to Spokane, yields a
fair compensation to the railroad,
then it seems to be decided that
the rate to Spokane must be cor
respondingly reduced. The element
of water competition does not en-
ter into the issue largely
Not until all the railroads are
consolidated or the government
proceeds to do directly what it now
attempts to do by indirect means;
that is, fixes absolutely all railroad
rates, will there be an era of sta
bility, peace and fair play for both
the railroads and the public" con-
tinued Mr.. Stickney. Competition
between the railroads makes low
rates at competitive points, but
they are obliged to recoup by ex-
cessive charges at non-competitive
points. This is most unjust and
people have right to complain"

COWAROLY WAS
ATTACK
THUG, INTENDING TO ROB A
+. POOL ROOM, ASSAULTS THE
ITALIAN PORTER WITH A
BILLIARD CUE.

What is believed by the police
to have been a bold attempt to
beat Louis Matteo, the attendant,
insensible and rob the Scaler pool
room cash register, was made
early this morning by Will Frost.
Frost was arrested by Officer Nc
Cloud and is in Jail charged with
assault.
After lingering about the pool
room all night and after all Gus
toners had gone, Frost attacked
Matteo with the butt of a billiard
cue and brutally beat him over the
head, but fled at the Italians cry
of alarm. Matteo was just stoop-
ing over to pick up a cuspidor be-
part of his work of cleaning out
before morning, when he was sent
rolling with a crashing blow from
the billiard cue, over the back of
his head. Before he could rise to
his feet he was struck again with
such force that long cash was
cut In his scalp, but, only slightly
dazed, he ran to the street, shout
ing, and his assailant fled.
A newsboy standing at the front
of the building, near the corner of
Howard and Main, followed Frost
and when the opportunity present
ed itself, he pointed him out to the
officer. The attack was made in
the back room of the place. The
cash register containing consider
able money sat on the counter in
the cigar and fruit stand in front
Frost is a stranger to the place,
according to attaches, and had
never visited the pool rooms till
yesterday evening. He is but
about II years old. He was first
booked on a charge of disorderly
conduct, but when the nature of
the trouble was made known to
the police, he was rebooked for
assault. A number of stitches
were necessary to bring the edges
of Matteo's scalp wound together.

court, following brief address ap-
propriate for the occasion.
Captain Coverly was retired on a

ut was a wise Providence

could be happy in this world.
There cannot be many million
aires at one time, There can be

erage of one president in five

IF happiness lies in accumula-
ton, or preferment, or in the pres
idency alone, then America as a
