PAVING PENSACOLA
CONTRACTS CALL FOR ExPENDI-

The "Loan shark- Act May Cause Money Lenders to Leave the
 City--Growth of Irish Po-

Pensacola. Fla. June s.-(speciaL) Instead of reaching a quarter of a million dollars as was believed through q misunderstanding. Pensacola's paw ing contract calls for the expenditure of about s600.00o. the bond trustees awarding the contract for not only the amount of money now on hand for the sale of bonds. but also for bonds which have not been sold and which aggregate more than $10o.0o0.
 This amount will pave all of the business section and much of the res- idence portion, including all of the streets which are frequently used.
 The board of bond trustees. if the city council desires. will tear up that portion of Palafox street which has been paved with brick. and place thereon the wooden concrete blocks. which have been adopted for all of the business section.
 The present pavement has been in service for more than fifteen years. and Is consequently badly worn and very rough. and iIfasmuch as 1t is in the very center of the business district some such steps will probably be taken.

D,.crad,tea in New York.

New York, June s,--The police of ficials in this city who are carrying on the detective work. started hy Jo- seph Petrosino. who was assass' mated in Sicily and who are considered the best authorities on the Black Hand, are inclined to discredit the dispatches from Cincinnati which say that the Italians arrested there and in other cities in that vicinity are the leaders of the Black Hand syndicate which has terrified this country for several years"
 They say there Is no national or extensive Black Hand organization: that most frequently the Black Hand consists of one. two or shree persons who conspire to obtain money from a victim by use of threats. Had there been a national organization of any kind 1t would have been broken up long ago, these officers say. bat the fact that-this character of bl4ckmail- ing Is conducted by numerous indi- vlduals who have no connec.nn with each other, but simply copy one an- others methods. has contributed the principal difficulty dn uprooting the evil.

CALIFORNIA rs INTERESTED
IN THE MINING CoNGxESS

Goldfeld is making preparations to
entertain the American Mining con.
gress handsomely. The mines and the
big mill of the Goldfeld Consolidated
are to be freely open to visitors. The
state is collecting material for q spe-
cial exhibition of its mineral our
and the whole Of Nevada expects to
keep open house. The opportunity to
see new developments as will al to
visit the historic Comstock near by,
will be unusual. Plans are under way
for a large delegation from California.
This is as it should be. Since the days
when California miners iocked into
the newly discovered Washoe district,
the relations of Nevada have been Pc
culiarly close to the chief coast city.
Many San Francisco buildings have
been paid for with gold or silver taken
from Nevada mines, and many Nevada
properties have been developed by
technical skill and capital from the
coast. The relation has been ore of
mutual h~elpfulness. The meeting of
the congress in Nevada will afford en-
opportunity Of cementing this friend
ship and promoting mutual ~asquaint-
ance.- Mining and Scientific Press.

RECEIVER WILD MAY
SUE BANKER T. B. RICKEY

A decision of vast Importance to the
depositors of the State Bank 4 Trust
company has been rendered by the Ne
vada Supreme court, in the appeal case
of the State of Nevada VS.. the State
Bank & Trust company and the diree-
tors of that hank as nominal defend
ants. BY this decision, which inelud-
ed more than seven constitutional
points, the supreme judges decided that
the state banking law of 1907, under
which Frank Wildes was appointed re
ceiver of the State Bank & Trust com
pany. is constitutional and therefore
Wildes will have the right to prosecute
his actions against the directors of
the State Rank Il Trust company for
an accounting of more thar 81 200, 900.
Wildes brought suit in November,
1908, against 7. B. Hickey, c. L. Ben
der, George Mapes, s. l.. Lee, A. Liv-
ingston, j. p. Woodbury., w. H. Myers,
P. H. Peterson and Wilson Broughter,
for an accounting of the accounts Of
the State Bank & Trust company, al
ieging that they had been neglectful
and that they had damaged the bank
to the sun of 81, 200, 200. They all de-
INJURED to this action, but finding that
the attorney drawing the complaint
had omitted the act under which tlis
case had been filed, later filed an ap-
peal to the original suit of the state
against the State Bank & Trust con
pany hoping in this way to ave the
act Of 1907 declared unconstitutional
and Frank Wildes, the receiver, thus
removed. 1t is this appeal case shat
has been decided and the decision is
broad and sweeping.
