BLACK HAND LETTER
THREATENS ROCKEFELLER
Hunearian's Need of Translator
Causes His Exposure

New York, Nov 11.-Charged with
writing a threatening letter to John
D. Rockefeller, demanding S50,OOO,
Peter Lillijohn, a Hungarian OF %
was held at police headquarters. Hugo
Kardoff, who accuses LllllJohn OF
sending the letter to him to be for
warded, made complaint. Kardoff
told the detectives he received two
letters from Lillijohn this afternoon.
One was written in Hungarian, and
addressed to the Standard Oil chief.
1t contained a demand for $4,000.
The other was addressed to Kardoff
and directed him to translate and for
ward the message to Rockefeller un-
der threat of death.
The letter addressed to Rockefeller,
translated, follows:
Il have been sent by the anar-
chistic society, and the Blank Hand.
to demand $4,000 from you. Should
you refuse to pay this amount, we
will kill. you. Fifty thousand dollars,
that does not amount TO much, and
if you refuse to pay you will be
killed. We have people who con-
tribute weekly, monthly, half yearly,
but don't want this way from you.
We want an immediate payment from
you"
The second letter threatened Rock
efeller with death, was intended to
be sent if no reply was received to
the first.
Lillijohn was arrested at the offices
of a firm of Hungarian money ex-
changers where Kardoff, the COM
plainant is employed. The prisoner
trustingly sent the threats to the firm
for translation. The police believe
him crazy.

measure and, moreover, the delegates
from his county were pledged to sep
arate submission.
Mr.. Ingraham favored equal suf-
frage He would like to see it in the
constitution but he believed that it
would encounter opposition at Wash
ington He therefore favored the
present plan for submission. 1t would
moreover settle the old question
whether a majority of the women
want it.
Mr.. Ellinwood had no remarks f
his own to offer on the subject but
he would read the address of Senator
Root on this subject before the New
York constitutional convention of
1904 when it was proposed to put
equal suffrage into the constitution
of that state. Mr. EllinwoOd said he
had read much on the subject but he
had never before seen it so clearly
and concisely dealt with as in the ad-
dress of Mr.. Root which follows:
The Words of an Authority.
II am opposed to granting suffrage
to women because / believe that it
would be a loss to women, to all Wom-
en-, and to every woman; and because
l believe it would be an injury to the
state, and to every man and every
woman in the state. 1t would be use
less to argue this if the right of suff-
rage were a natural right. If it were
a natural right, then women should
have it, though the heavens fall. But
if there be any one thing settled in the
long discussion of this subject il is that
suffrage is not a natural right, but is
simply a means of government, and the
sole question to be discussed is wheth-
er government by the suffrage of men
and women will be better government
than by the suffrage of men alone.
THE question is therefore a ques-
tion of expediency. and the question of
upon this subject is not a
question of tyranny. as the gentleman
from Cattaragus has said, but a ques-
ton of liberty. question of the preser-
walton of free constitutional govern
ment, of law, of order, peace and pros

Equal suffrage met with an over
whelning reverse in the constitu-
tional convention yesterday but the
suffragists are not yet without hope
The session is not yet over and forces
are at work which may give them
more than they had reason in the
beginning to expect.
The reverse of yesterday came IN
the defeat by majority of two to
one of the substitute for the Con-
nelly proposition, directing the legis-
lature of Arizona at its first session
to submit to the citizens of Arizona
otherwise qualified voters, without
regard to sex, the question of en-
grating an equal suffrage amend
ment on the constitution.
This very important question was
taken up yesterday morning out of
its order and without announcement
and settled in half a day.
The legislature met in a crouch
which was maintained throughout the
day. The crabid spell was broken
for nearly an hour while the excel
lent Copper Queen band under the
leadership of Director Clark ser
enaded the members and the gal
leries.
In an interlude Delegate Cooper of
Pima addressed the members and the
band on the influence of music and
he found in the strains which had
poured from the galleries an lnsplra-
tion and a lesson for the convention,
iutimating that it had been badly
needed. The members of the band
was each striving at some task, some
end and all were brought together
in glorious harmony. So should the
members of the convention strive for
a harmonious ending of their dello-
erations.. in statehood.
President Hunt was also moved to
eloduence by the inspiring strains Of
the band Mr. Parsons believed that
things throughout the territory and
throughout the nation were fairly
harmonious as had been shown by
the election last fall of forty -one
democratic to eleven republican del
egates. The elections of last Tuesday
developed that the country was pref
tv weH harmonized against repuoli-
canism. Mr.. Cooper with some ap-
Dearance of warmth replied that he
was still a republican This incident
is mentioned only as an illustration
of the. soothing effect of music when
it is well rendered as it was by the
Copper Queen band whose members
are all miners.
At the conclusion of the serenade
the band was voted the thanks of
the convention and Director Clark
responded briefly.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE OR NOT?
The Running Debate on Mr.. Con-
neIIy's Unique Plan.

The elections committee had rec
commended the indefinite postpone
ment Of the proposition. There was
a minority report containing prop
osition which was in effect the Con-
nelly measure, only altered in slight
detail.
Mr. Webb moved the adoption of
the minority report. Mr.. Cunning
ham amended by striking out the
heart and the entire body of the
measure leaving nothing but pro-
vision that male citizens qualified to
vote should have the right to vote
Mr.. Roberts further amended by
striking out the word males leav-
ing the franchise entirely to the
ladies'
A Coughing Spell.
The debate then began. Mr.. Gun
milf said he was opposed to separate
submission in any form. If any prop
osition was worthy to be submitted
to the people it was worthy to be
included in the constitution which
would have to be submitted. He de-
scribed the activity of the suffra-
gists as propaganda for social
revolution to which he was opposed
He was not opposed to equal suf-
fraRe because he did not think well
of women, but because he thought
too much of them.
Here there was an outbreak of
coughing in the suffragist section of
the gallery, an epidemic of bronchial
or pulmonary trouble, always pro-
duced in these circumstances by the
dust rising from that dry, old gag. 1t
is the same ancient gag with which
Adam used to meet the demands of
Eve for representation in the Eden
general assembly and which finally
drove her to a disastrous filtration
with the serpent just as in this day
it has driven the daughters of Eve
into making common cause with the
socialists.
How Voters Felt About II.
In the opinion of Mr.. Cunningham,
the delegates had received their in
structions at the late election, re-
garding women suffrage. Candidates
who stood on platforms containing
suffrage planks had been defeated
while those who were known to be
opposed to suffrage had been elected.
1t turned out later that Mr.. Cunning
ham had reference to the situation
in the county of Mr.. Webb, the chief
advocate of woman suffrage.
Mr.. Osborn observed that whatever
the male voters of the territory might
think about it the women had not
had a chance to give expressin.
Mr.. Cunningham again referred to
the result in Graham county and it
was admitted by Mr.. Webb in reply
to questions by his colleague, Mr..
Lynch that the democratic convention
had rejected an equal suffrage plank
while the republican platform con-
tanned that sop. No republican in
Graham came near being elected.
Not Politics But Morals.
DR.. Moeur said that it made no diff
ference what parties might have
done; the question was whether it
was right. He was in favor of this

A Proposal to Build Judicial Sys-
tenn in Half Day.

IT was with some difficulty thai
tho convention got started. The mem-
hers had filed in with chips on their
shoulders. daring one another to
knock them off. The convention was
quickly resolved into the committee
of the whole and the first order was
taken UP. the report of the judiciary
committee on proposition 81, proVlo-
ing for a complete judiciary system.
The proposition was recommended
but the report was accompanied by
a minority report.
Mr.. Jones of Yavapai moved that
the proposition be made special or
der for Monday. Mr.. Lynch sup
ported the motion explaining that
Judge Doe. a member of the commit
tee was unavoidably absent, attend
ing to his duties in supreme court
Mr. Cunningham who has all along
been protesting against delay renew
ed his protest saying that II mao
seemed to be the disposition of MEM
bers to put things over. MT Gun
nigham used this expression in It's
ordinary meaning and without refer
ence to the meaning attached to II
when it is made slang expression.
If a republican member had used II
or the sister term, put things across
he would have had in mind the dI-
rect legislation proposition or the re-
call measure.
MIR. Jones of Maricopa favored a
postponement. observing that 1t was
a difficult task to build mp an entire
judiciary system in a half day
Mr. Cassidy desired to amend the
motion of Mr.. Jones of Yavapai. by
making the proposition special or
der for this morning saying that
Judge Doe would be present then.
The amendment was accepted and
Mr.. Cunningham Offered the further
amendment that if be taken mp in
