Washington, Aug. 7.-PostmasteT
General Hitchcock yesterday received
from Postoffice Inspector J. f. Old
field evidence on which it is believed
that eighteen members OF the Black
Hand society in Ohio can be sent to
prison for long terms. Inspector Old
field has been engaged for two
months in tracing the operations of
this daring band, whose activities ex-
tended to many cities, sometimes
even as far as New York. He de-
clarcs that he has established a con
nection with the great Black Hand so
ciety in Italy.
He is also firmly of the belief that
two of the prisoners were concerned
in theInurder of Lieut. Joseph Petros-
inc OF the New York Detective Bureau
in Palermo on March II last He has
proof that Coiogero Vicario and Anto-
MO Marfesi were in Palermo at the
time of the assassination. He de-
clares also that money orders for
$1,000 obtained by the band in Cincin-
natl, have been traced. and that the
money was undoubtedly used to shield
the slayers of Petrosino. He declares
that if the New York police should Co
operate with the Postal Inspectors it
is possible that connection can be ira
ced between the Society of the Bana-
ma and the band of BLACK Handlers
who are believed to have murdered
the New York Police Lieutenant.

larger number could have been secur-
ed. OF the five, two are now at the
Soldiers Home, one died and two were
released.
The deer at the home were placed
there without expense to the institu.
ton and must still be considered the
property of the state as the laws make
no provision whereby the animals
can be transferred to the ownership
OF individuals.
The taking of these two fawns dur
ing the present season is a fortunate
outcome OF Warden Chase's efforts as
the deer are more plentiful now than
they are likely to be for some years.
The open season for both buck and
doe next fall will tend to reduce the
number of deer and also drive the ami
mails away from the farms to the
woods.
As an indication of the increase in
the number of the animals in this vic
Unity Warden Chase states that at this
time a year ago he had received four
notices of damage to crops and at
present he has received % for the
present year.
