WORLD WIDE OPPORTUNITY Ol
 THE COTTON FARMER

Voluntary servitude, how is Sully describes the condition ot the cotton farmer of the south.
 Cotton is king" he says, but his throne is in England. ;"
 The southerner who submits himself and his family to grind ing toll snd receives in return a pittance for his staple, is por- trayed as the slave to the spinners and consumers of civilization, the humble and ill-paid servant of the Jap and even the Fiji islander. Sullv makes these as- sertions in current issues of The Cosmopolitan Magazine. His articles are written with dynamic power and unprecedented charm. They comprise the most forceful, direct and original presentation of the voluntary impotence of the cotton farmer ever published.
 Sully, twill be remembered, boosted cotton to F 3-4 cents a pound, the high-water mark since the civil war. He has demon strated:the right to talk about every phase of the cotton game, especially the commercial and in- ternational phases.
 He is convinced that the man who is grateful to receive 10 cents a pound for his product, should receive. and is logically entitled to much more than that. He be- lieves a higher and a more uni- form price can be attained by perfectly practical methods.
 There isn't an academic or a the- oreticalsidea in his statements.
 Sully isn't doctrinaire.
 His articles bristle with epigrams that are self-evidently truthful. Romance, too, backed by affi- davits, abounds.
 He shows that the United States has, in the fleecy staple, power that can stop world-wars and paralyze world-commerce, or make both. He shows that, de veloped and utilized properly, all civilization could be and will bel dominated by the southern staple. He riddles our boasted inter- national balance of trade, and show it is exports of RAW cotton that makes 1t possible. The day that America makes up its mind to manufacture ali its cotton, that day will she rule humanity.
 For while substitutes may be found for others imperative com moditias, while other daily nee essitie5 aa9 5e pHedgcea else where, the south'e monopoly ci. the one wor.d Indispensable K es- bey) nd adventure.

COMPANY MAY
FORFEIT BOND
Paving Must be Repaired by
Next Tuesday.
CITY OFFICIALS ARE SANGUINE
Say the $1,000 Will be Put
Into City's Treasury.
Mayer Brothers, the Asphalt Con-
tractors were Recently Advised
Of the Time Limit In the Contract

Unless the work or repairing the
asphalt paving on Church and Pros
pect street is done in record breaking
time, the firm OF Mayer orothers, OF
Erie, Pennsylvania, will soon forfeit
a bond of 1900 for the completion
of the repair work by June 49, The
work has not yet been begun and as
the contract calls for the &C mpletion
of the work by next Tuesday there
remain but four working days during
Will h 2,7OO yards OF asphalt must
be repaired.
The local city officials are not in
any way alarmed as the bond money
will be demanded Of the flm If the
repair work is not done. However,
they are quite anxious over The mat
ter as the residents OF these streets
have been placed at a disadvantage
for some time by having the streets
in a condition unfit for traffic. The
asphalt in many places has worn
away since the lettiaE OF the contract
and on the whole, the sti eets are
in bad condition. Just how the firm
expects to bring an asphalt plant 70
this city and repair these streets in
four days is puzziag the officials,
many OF whom say that the work
cannot be properly done in that
length of time. II II Is done, 1t will
be a record breaking piece of work
ha nf ~
service fear that IL will not be done
In a proper manner in so short time.
Some time ago the sum OF $4,000
was appropriated Fer IT," purpose oi
repairing these streets. Bends were
issued for this purpose in order to
obtain sufficient money. If the work
Is not done in time the BOND money
the officials say, will be appropri'
ated to the work. The contract calls
for the work to be done for the sun
Of $40 per yard, the contract beinl
entered into with Martin c., M. e
J. Ross and Joseph C.. Mayer.
Some time ago l0a. men were
alarmed lest there be misunder
standing in the contract and City
Clerk Tobin was authorized to con
fer with them. Tie Representatives
OF the firm stated that the plan
would be here by June 1 and th'
work would be begun at once. Tim'
has rapidly elapsed. however. so tha
very little time remains and how
the firm may avoid forfeiting it's bont
money is being made the source o
much wonder.

signed with a drawing Of a black
hand or heat pierced with dag
&c; with drops of blood flowing
freely. A skull and cross bones dec
crates the top of the letters. These
were found in Lima's safe. They
had evidently. the officers say, been
inspected by Lima, or probably writ
ten by him, and fixed ready to
mail. The officers think that these
letters would have been forwarded to
several different parties and then
mailed from Pittsburg. The officers
refused to divulge the names OF the
intended victims or those to whom
they were addressed. In fact they
cannot be sure that the addresses
are intended victims or members OF
the gang. The paper, ink and
writing is similar to that In the
Amicon and other letters.
1ne only man wanted here who
was not caught was Antonio Lima,
a brother of Sam Lima. He was In
Upper SanduslSy yesterday and sud-
Stihy tiodpBNbiCu. ANO LIdCG udb
been found of him since.
Deputy United States Marshals A
f. Owen, OF Cleveland, former Ma
rionite, and b. J. Wagner, of Toledo,
arrived here this afternoon with war
rants for the prisoners. They charge
Salvatore (Sam) Lima, Salvatore
(Sam) Rizzo and Joe Batagalia with
unlawfully and knowingly devising
scheme to defraud John Amicon, OF
Columbus, Ohio, and that letters
threatening him with injury or
death unless he remitted large
sum of money. were mailed in the
local pojr 0nico and carried to him
by the mail. 1t Is claimed that the
letter was written in the Italian
language; that 1t was enclosed in an
envelope directed to John Amicon,
and the whole was enclosed In an
other envelope directed to A. Mar
fist, at Dennison, Ohio. with instruc-
tions that he remail 1t through the
Dennison post Office.
The marshals anu their prisoners
left this afternoon at 4:20 o'clock
for Toledo where the cases will be
given prelim nary hearing before
United States Commissioner Gaines.
The warrants are sworn to by Il. r..
Hutchess, inspector Of the post Office
1 department for the Northern district
jof Ohio. Hutchess was one of the
inspectors concerned in the raid here
yesterday.

tity early "Wednesday morning. He
set abcut TO ferrit out
the finer details concerning the

reporter is keeping the wires hot with
accounts of the sensation d'vulged by
the secret service detectives and is
covering the story In thorough
manner. He was allowed to inter-

failure OF the courts are largely to
blame for the existence of the Black
Hand in America. Italians receive
these letters, they fear for their lives
and even II they do not give up tho
money they hide or burn the let
ters as they fear they will be killed
anyway, II the authorities are noti-
fed. When they have positive in
formation and secure the conviction

gang for blackmail of this character
the men are only sent to prison for
la short term and they or their
friends will have vengeance upon this
tale bearer as soon as the convicted
ones are out of prison II not be.

Mr.. Storaci suggests thai the only
method Of stamping out the Black
Hand in America Is by stopping i'm
migration from Italy and the enact
ment of stricter laws, making either
life Imprisonment or death the pena!
ty in case of conviction
There is much excitement today in
Marion on account of the discovery
that the city Is rendezvous for
Black Handlers. Many Italians quit
WORK for the day and are assembled
in groups discussing the happening
II is also claimed that many strang
Iers are in the city aud that other
members of the gang have come
here for the purpose of getting evid-
ence out OF the way of the officers.
A statement in yesterdays account
Of the arrests in the Mirror was in
error The existence and operations
OF the gang were not discovered by
ltampering with the mail passing be-
tween the parties but by the con.
fession OF a member of the gang
arrested in Pittsburg and by the
correspondence captured In the sew
eral raids. The laws do not permit
the holding up or opening OF any
mail by government officers excep
where treason against the govern
ment is suspected.
1t became known today that the
postal authorities were informed o.
a convention OF the Black Hand lead
ers, which was held here about TIVE
months ago, and at that time 1t wa
planned to swoop down upon tn,
crowd and gather them all in. Plan
of the Lima store and residence
apartments were In the hands OF
the authorities and about ten officer
were detailed to round up the gang
But after conference 1t was de
cided that the authorities did no
have sufficient evidence to secur

date.

PRIEST IS NOT
AFRAID OF DEATH
Twice Assassins Have Attempted 10 Kill
Him bat He Had Miraculous Escapes
Both Times.

Danville, ILL.,. May 7.-Declaring that
he is not afraid of death, Father
Scrippo the Westville Catholic priest
whom assassins have twice in a week
attempted to kill, calmly goes about
his way.
Twice in the last week attempts
have been made to shoot him through
his study windows. Almost mirac-
ulously he escaped death both times.
Father Scrippo declares that he knows
his enemies and that they are friends
of the saloon element in Westville.
For several months trouble has been
brewing between two factions of the
Westville Catholic church and SO vio-
lent have the divisions become that it
is probable that a second church will
he erected. Scrippo is a Russian and
is 30 years of age.
81 am ready to die and am all pre-
pared to go. L am not afraid of
death I have duty to perform and
will be spared. I am confident" he
says.
Bishop O'Reilly of Peoria has been
appealed to in the matter and will
probably take action during the com
ing week.
