TIE BLACK HAND.
Origin Of the Name Of This Group Of
Daring Criminals.

Daring Criminals.
According to the United States Sc
cret service, the Black Hand IS a title
common to inuumerable groups Of
criminals operating under the direction
or some secret central government.
These men are blackmailers, using
murder, arson, kidnapping and bomb
throwing as punlshments for those
who viii not submit to their iniquitous
demands. Black Hand IL, In short, a
handy name FOR a brand Of crime Pc
eullar to Italian criminals who are sue
eessful 10 1t because Of the tempera-
ment Of the foreign immigrants and
their Unborn dread q the extortionist.
Whether the central government which
guides the Black Hand society Is To-
Gated In the United States or in Italy
Is something which neither the Italian
nor American authorities can discover.
United States officers say the name Of
the American Black Hand emanated
from Chicago about fen years ago,
when one Of the first Of many mystic
AAoh2 AhiNet1 IA Anc AttftdA quarter
remained unsolved. The victim OF the
murder had received warning that
death would follow his failure to con-
tribute a specified sum Of money. The
letter was embellished with a crude
drawing representing a fist clutching
dagger. The fist and dagger gave the
name Black Hand--later 10 become un-
pleasantly familiar to every citizen OF
the country-and the sinister sketch
was soon a source Of terror to all law
abiding Italians.-W Wide World Maya

Another opportunIty for vermont.


It is announced by the reclamation
service in Washington that thousands Of
American families who have gone to the
Canadian Northwest from different parts
Of New England, as we'll as other parts
81 the country, under the lure OF the
dominion's fascinating immigration bu-
rcau, are returning TO the United States.
Many more are planning to come back
later on, and the tide Of migration has
plainly turned.
Representatives Of the reclamation
service who have talked with returning
migrants quote them as saying that prac-
ticallv every American farmer IN the
Heighborhood of Alberta, where the Ca
madam government maintains an irriga-
tion project. was anxious to get back If
he could sell his holdings in the domin-
ion.
The American settlers were dissatis-
fed with the character Of the land the
crops from which, they alleged, consist
ed principally Of alfalfa and such hardy
grains as winter wheat, and even these
were not sure The form or government
aid not appeal to them, and they con.
sidered the railroad freight rates exorbi-
tant. The climate also was source Of
dissatisfaction, ice and snow IN August
and September of last year adding to
their discomfort
In the last nine months, it was said
az the reclamation service Offices, fifteen
thousand settlers have returned from
Canada, and the prospect for a general
backward movement was bright
