BLACK HAND GANGS
TO BE DIFFERENTIATED

New York.-With the idea of rid
ding this country of the various black
hand organizations which have been
levying blackmail for years, Commits
sioner of immigration Williams will
soon order hearings in the case of $50
Italians suspected of being members
of the black hand, looking to their de-
portation of any person who has been
convicted of a crime IN another coun-
try. The evidence in the possession
Of the government was obtained by
the New York detectives who were
sent to Italy to continue the work
which had only just began when De-
tective Petrosino was assassinated in
Sicily.
This evidence consists of certifi-
Gates showing that $50 Italians, now
in this country and who are suspected
of black hand practices, had been
convicted of crime previous to their
arrival here. Many of the suspected
men are in the west, particularly
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois.

to make a public report on the advis-
ability of a change in the form of gov
ernment. The plan calls for a new
charter, upon which a city vote may
be taken next April, so that the COM
mission of five can assume office the
following month. The change is
welcomed generally by the people,
who see that the present system is an
utter failure. Mayor Pratt has re-
ceived several hundred letters and
thousands of personal visits from men
in both parties, complmenting him
upon the stand he has taken to place
the city upon a thorough business
basis While he has been in office
only six months, he declares his ad-
minstrtion has been weakened by
an opposition council and an anti
quated system of government.

CHANGES IN MARS.
Astronomers Observe Phenomena
Which Are Very Signif, cant.


London.-Fresh changes Of an ex-
traordinary nature are reported in
Mars by the journal of the British AS
Economical association, which says
that the planet during September was
nearer the earth than at any time
since 1892, and in a favorable position
for observation.
The phenomena observed, says the
journal, are altogether without par
allel in the records of the past Vast
changes have transformed the ap-
jearance of Mars. A gloomy yellow
veil has enshrouded immense tracts
of the Maritan surface, obiterating
the markings, and changes now in
progress on the surrace Of Mars are
Of exceptional interest in view of the
theory developed by Professor Low
ell that Mars in inhabited by a race
of living beings. He argues that the
canals Of Mars are works constructed
by dying race, menaced by starva-
ton on a desert planet, to carry water
supplied by melting ice-caps on the
poles to waterless areas near the
equator, and thus raise food.
It is suggested that If the markings
have recently disappeared and the
yellow veil has covered immense
tracts on the surface, there must have
been some catastrophe on a gigantic
scale or some cataclysm such as
dwarfs the most violent earthquakes
known on our planet.
It is inferred that the abnormal
electric conditions of the sun, which,
according to Sir oliver Lodge, the
noted scientist, caused the recent
magnetic storm on the earth, have
had a far more terrible influence on
Mars. They may have unloosened
forces, it is believed, which, if Pro-
fessor Lowelrs theory concerning life
on Mars is correct, may have ended
for ever the Maritan struggle for life.

WALLA WALLA 9-YEAR-
OLD Is BICYCLE THIEF

Walla walla.-Discovery has been
made Of the thief who has been steal
ing bicycles in the city for the past
two months in a nine year old lad
named frankie Meyers. The little
fellows father caught him with a
wheel and brought the machine to
police headquarters. And in this the
police found a clue which has solved
their troubles
For the past eight or 10 weeks BIZ
cycles have been disappearing, and
after search, about 90 per cent of
them have usually been located. Now
it appears that young Meyers has
simply appropriated the nearest BIZ
cycle he could find whenever he
wanted to go anywhere and left it near
his destination to be picked up.
The Meyers lad lived with his aunt
in the suburbs, his father being res
ident of Milton. Hence the boy has
taken wheels to make his way home
shorter.

Freewater, Oct ga meeting Of
tax payers was called in Tanke's hall
last evening to discuss the water pro-
position. The council has been form
ing plans for months now as TO the
best way Of providing the city with
water works. Engineer Sutherland
of Walla Walla, has been busy max
ing estimates and was present at the
meeting to lay his plans before the
people. Mayor ]. II. Hall was in the
chair and called the attention of the
rate PAYERS to the fact that the
growth of the town was being re-
tarded on account Of having no water
system except irrigation and wells.
He outlined the scheme which in
cludes a pumping plant and a reser-
voir. with a capacity of $4,000 gall
Ions Of water and with mains and
hydrants reaching to every part Of
the city now utilized for residence
purposes.
The present estimate of the entire
cost is in the neighborhood of $4,000
which is easily within the bonding
limit of the city. The bonds can be
secured extending overa long term Of
years at five per cent interest and the
rental from the water would cover
the interest for the first year and
also the cost of electric power. Mr.
Hall stated that 1t would be the big
gest advertisement for Freewater
that could possibly be made. A
standing vote was taken and was un-
animous. The meeting adjourned and
practically every rate payer in town
will support the council in their eff
forts.

TUBERCULOSIS MAY WIPE OUT The
DAIRY INDUSTRY AND HUMAN RACE

Budapest, June S-That time and
persistence in present methods will
certainly assure the extinction of the
dairy industry and of the human race
was the alarming statement made yes
terday by Nathan Straus, the New
York ~philanthropist. who has been
fighting tuberculosis for Is years. Mr..
Straus read a paper before the inter-
national dairy congress, in session yes
terday at the Vigado
Stating that the great white plague
of tuberculosis persists and spreads
among cattle and among people largely
because of the white peril of tubercu-
losis milk, Mr.. Straus said:
Tuberculosis cows bear healthy
calves and straightway infect them
with this disease through the milk
that they give to their young, and
when the calves are weaned these dis
eased cows supply the germs OF the
white plague to the human beings who
use their milk. Thus we are inviting
the determination of the dairy indus
try and of the human race, for this
plague is increasing both among cattle
land among men, and it will increase
like the spreading of a fire SO long a.

houses of congress yesterday:
SENATE E-The senate chamber was
the scene of sharp conflict betewen
Senator Aldrich and Senator Beveridge
over the tariff bill. Both senator's were
chief speakers of the day. The first
subject of dispute was Aldrich's amend
mcnt for duty of cents a square
yard and 20 per cent ad valorem on
window hollands. This amendment was
finally adopted by the usual majority
as were all the other committee amend
ments to the cotton schedule. A mo-
tion to remove rubber goods from the
cotton schedule prevailed and overshoes
and other rubber articles in which cot
ton is factor will get a lower rate of
duty. The senate hosiery rates, which
are a reenactment of the Dingley rates,
