AFRAID TO MAKE MONEY.
Respectable Italians i'm Ohio Terror
lied by Black Hand.

Columbus. o., June 1o.-With ac--
tivity in the round up by federal
authorities of Italian extortionists in
Ohio extending to all parts of the
state, Sprin gfield, o., early today was
drawn into the investigation. After
an all night conference between pos
tai inspector J. Oldfield, Postmaster
Krumm and secret service agents who
made careful examination of mys-
terious letters taken from the trunks
of Sam Lima at Marion, it was de-
termined to send inspectors to
Springfield. Inspectors Patee and
Hersford took an early morning
train with instructions to run down
learned by a perusal of the alleged
Black Hand correspondence taken in
the Marion raid.
Already thirteen have been ar
rested, but four of these have been
released Five have been served with
federal warrants. Lima, Rizzo and
Batagalia of Marion and Ventola of
Columbus. arrested here last night.
All are charged with attempting to
extort money from John Amicon of
Columbus.
Augustine Marfisi. arrested We'd
nesday at Dennison is also charged
with the same offense. He will be
taken to Canton today for arraign-
ment before United States Commits
sioner Whiting. Marfisi returned
from Italy ABOUT lWO tIIOnLHS dSO. I1C
is said to be the agent of the Lima
bfackmailers, who relayed the letters
from Marion headquarters demanding
money from John Amicon- Before he
left Dennison six months ago Mar
fist had been preceded to Italy by
Barney Boniti, Dennison fruit
dealer. who sold his store there at
a sacrifice and fed to escape Black
Hand vengeance. Boniti was muir
dered not long after his arrival in
Italy Soon afterwards Marf1si, who
Was in Italy at the time of the muir
der returned to America.
1t became known today that
Charles Storkia, an Italian business
competitor of Lima's at Marion. o.,
had received recently several threat
ening letters ordering him to leave
town at once. A respected italian in
Marion said today that he and others
of his race were actually afraid to
make as much money as they could
because of fear of blackmailers and
nurderOus bands.

HAD A SWELL WEDDING.
Wealthy Westerner Gave Bride 8
$1,000 Talking Machine.

New York, June 10.-Announce-
ment has just been made of the mar
rlage of Edward James De Nivernais,
lawyer, mine owner, writer and re-
tired representative in congress of a
California labor party, who had the
Nevada courts change his name from
Livernash last month at the time they
granted him a divorce, and Mrs. Lila
Dumouriez of France and California
Although only the bridegroom S
japanese valet and the witnesses pro-
cured by the minister were present at
the ceremony, beside the contra citing
couple, the western man had a large
string orchestra present and a promi-
nent New York florist had commits
sion to decorate the minister's house,
just "as though it was a Fifth avenue
wedding"
The florist was instructed to see
that the bride trod upon nothing but
the petals from fresh roses and his
valet, wearing a gorgeous livery of
blue and gold, held the brides travel
ing coat while the ceremony was per-
formed. Besides a number of jewels
the rich bridegroom gave his bride a
specially built talking machine which
cost $1,000. The couple left for an
automobile trip for the west.

MAY USE LEAFLETS.
Books to Be Abandoned by Chicago
School Board.

Chicago, June 10.-School text
books and other bound volumes which
have caused several publishing COM
from the Chicago schools if a PROPOSE
ton officially submitted to the school
book Investigating committee of the
board of education yesterday is
adopted.
The plan to be considered by the
committee at its next meeting is that
of doing away with all books now in
use and substituting printed leaflets
with lessons compiled by local educa-
tors. If it is adopted by the board of
education it is declared that thousands
of dollars will be saved to the parents
of school children every year.
The average cost of books per pupil
in the public school each year is about
three dollars, according to estimates
made by publishing companies. I'm
der the leaf1et system of study the cost
would be less than $1.25.
