Joseph Genaro Shot Down in the
Streets of BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Another kill
ing which the police declare should be
added to the list of crimes of the Black
Hand society was committed Oh the
streets of Brooklyn today when Joseph
Genaro. a cigar maker. was shot down
and killed in a fusillade of bullets that
followed a meeting of Genaro and a crowd
of seven Italians. The police made sew
eral arrests. and Mrs. Genaro, who stood
by and implored her husbands enemies
not to shoot him. declared that Antonio
Cincotta. a saloon keeper. one of the
prisoners. had killed her husband. De-
tectives have had Cincotta under surveil-
lance for some time. believing that he
might know something of the movements
of the Black Hand society.
Genaro had trouble last night with Gin

Attitude on the Tariff.
The people down here are taking the
same attitude on the tariff. They de-
mand protection for their own peculiar
products, but they want free trade in the
products of other people. The board OF
trade, for example, demands high duty
on sugar, rice. lumber. petroleum. and
there is a good deal of talk about a duty
on raw cotton. but In the same breath
they demand free ships In other Woros
their Industries must be protected put
the interests of the shipbuilders in other
parts of the country must not pc.
That is what is the matter with New
Orleans and this entire section-a narrow.
selfish policy that doesn't consider the IN
terests of any other section or the couh-
try.

Midshipmen Must Not Wed.

President Taft has approved a
change in the naval regulations
recommended by Secretary Meyer by
which midshipmen are prohibited
from marrying until the completion
of the prescribed six years course
of training.
Permission of the Secretary of
the Navy has been sought by a
number of midshipmen who desired
to be allowed to marry after their
graduation from the Naval academy
and by others while they are on
their two years tour of instruction
at sea. The naval academy regula-
tions forbid any midshipmen from
marrying while at the academy,
but do not apply to midshipmen
who have graduated and are serving
at sea. No order existed in the
United States naval regulations
preventing the midshipmen from
marrying and today's change in
these regulations provide an abso-
! lutte prohibition.

Democrats vote to retain the duty
on lumber, and learns that Presi-
dent Taft is begging his party col

can determine to what political

##*
The President has struck terror
to the hearts of many members of
the administration who have long
relied solely OH political influence
to retain them in office. He has
practically demanded the resigna-
ton of S. N. d. North, Director of
the Census, and has appointed +.
Dana Durand, now deputy Com
missioner of Corporations, in his
place. Mr.. North has behind him
no less powerful politicians than
Senators Aldrich, Lodge, Crane
and Hale and Representatives
Crumpacker, Olcott and others, TO
say nothing of Speaker Cannon.
When, just a month ago, it was
learned that Mr.. North was under
investigation his powerful political
friends rushed to the White House
and told the President "it would
never do to drop North" The
President said nothing in reply and
they came away convinced that
they had accomplished their end.
Mr.. North himself said that the
friction was "a thing of the past
and now, from a clear sky, comes
his resignation and the appoint
ment of his successor. Mr.. Du-
rand, who succeeds North, has no
political influence but is known to
be statistician of exceptional abil-
ity and an executive officer of great
force and ability.

The President is having consid-
cradle difficulty finding the right
man to send as Minister to China
He has begged John Hays Ham
mond to accept it but Mr.. Ham
mond has declined. He wants a
shrewd, keen business man, not a
diplomat, for the place. Rumor
has it that William Nelson Crom.

was but it was found that his con-

"SENOJ" IS HOT STUFF.
jennings Prohibition Drink Found 10 Contala
More Alcohol than Ordinary Beer.

Two keepers Of soft drinks in
Jennings were fined $50 and costs BY
the Lake Charles City Judge, for sell
ing vet goods in dry territory.
The beverage, known as ssenoj, :
was found 10 contain II per cent
alcohol, nearly twice as much as IS
contained in BudWeisef beer. The at
tention Of the officers was attracted
to the places BY the hilarity Of the
crowds emerging therefrom, and a
sample was sent to New Orleans for
analysis, with the result that it was
found loaded for bars.
The City Judge, in sentencing the
men, expressed the opinion that they
had been deceived BY che manufae-
turer Of the goods, who had guaran-
teed that the stuff was within the
prohibition law. containing less than
the prohibited amount Of alcohol.
