IN REIGN
OF TERROR
West Hammond Member of
the Notorious Black Hand
Society Eathered in and
Fined $B and Costs for
Mulcting Countryman.

After terrorizing forty-fve or fifty
members Of the Italian colony who all
live together in a big house on One
Hundred and Fifty fourth street, West
Hammond. Joe Nell. big Italian, who
claims to be member of the BLACK
Hand" society, was arrested yesterday
and after being in Jail all night was
today fined s25 and costs. 1t is proba-
bfe that his case will be taken before
the grand jury of Cook county.
The Italians who were victimized are
all section hands in the employ of va
rious railroads about the region Their
names are Pac1o Manchela, Frank Ro-
mao. Tony John. Lugara Pito and Do
monich Soilly.
The arrest Of Nell developed two
facts of interest to the people of this
locality. In the first place, one West
Hammond building shelters, according
to the report, between forty five and
fifty foreigners All of them are Ital-
ians. and Hammond may now claim to
having little Italy"
Claims To Be .sBIack Hand.v
Secondly. this little italy has its
Black Hand8 representative and
again, for the first time, an alleged
member of this Society has attempted to
terrorize the Italians of the locality.
The trial Of Nell was held in Judge
Green's justice court this morning The
charges brought against him were of
disorderly conduct. However,, an in
vestigation is to be made of NelIs ac-
tivities. and It is possible that he will
be cited to appear before the Cook
county grand Jury.
Nell is htE Italian. over 6 feet tall
He has a long black mustache and is
said TO have .. scz:r ugly disposition.
8 m a Black Hand . he said to have
Informed some of his countrymen you
must pay me money or / will have you
thrown in jail"
Mcmahon Investigates.
This was the. threat he made and he
actually had Lugaro Pito and Donomich
Soilly arrested and thrown in Jail on a
trumped up charge. Judge William W.
Mcmahon of Hammond was employed
to represent the men who were arrest
ed, paid their fines and secured their
release. 1t is reported that this man
Nell has the wages of several of the
foreigners gaTnisheed. This is also be-
ing investigated by Judge Mcmahon.
Another report is that Nell collect
ed 30 cents day from all of the for
eign Italians on the representation that
he. was authorized to collect their rent
and then failed to turn over this mon
ey.
These reports have not been con-
firmed, but they have created reign of
terror among the italians of the West
Hammond little Italy and until Nell
is finally eliminated from the neighbor-
hood they will live in fear of him

OLD TIMERS
ARE IGNORED
Scheme Said to Be on Foot
to Deliver County's Vote
For A. F. Knotts.
(By Staff Correspondent }

Grown Point, Ind, May 3.-There
is a seething volcano in the demo-
cratic party in Lake county, which
is going to burst out in tremend-
GUS upheaval one of these days, and
though every effort is being made to
put on the soft pedal and drown the
noise, the hubub is being heard all
over the county.
When MAJOR t. E. Knots, of Gary.
at the de'Hocratic convention, held in
hammond week ago Monday, arose
to make motion that the list of
names be prepared in advance by
himself, Mayor Becker and County
Chairman John Gavit, and when the
latter rushed it through they little
realized that they started a train of
Indignation that may be the political
downfall of one or all of them.
Yet such is the. case The gag rule
resorted TO be-in the convention has
caused widespread comment and now
some of those who aspired to go to the
state convention are beginning to

FACES AN
INJUNCTION
Saloon License Question Up
Again; The Notorious
Frank Bougl1 Is Again
Operating a Dramshop
Across the State Line.

Because the voters of West Ham
mond at the recent village election
voted TO turn down the $4,000 bond
issue, the village faces an injunction
in the Cook county circuit court, by
which the Golsen-Doan Coal company
of Chicago, a creditor of the village.
seeks to enjoin the president and the
village board from issuing any saloon
licenses for less than $500, the price
stipulated in the state dramshop law
BY this method the creditors hope
to raise the amount of revenue $3.50
from each saloon, the present license
being $3.50. The step is one of self
protection for the creditors, who will
now make issue out of a question
which the license committee has per-
mitted to go by default
Committee Fails to Report.
This committee is composed of mem
bers of the village board, the members
being Woszczynski. Kryczyanowski
and Peters. The ordinance now pend
ing before this committee provides that
the license be raised from $3.50 to $500,
but it has been apparent for a long
time that the committee hoped to per-
nit the ordinance to die in the com
mittee. 1t was never reported out the
most glaring fact in this connection be-
ing that. the members of the commit
tee are themselves saloonkeepers. and

Towle's Opera House is to be re-
decorated and remodeled along lines
that will make it one of the most at

state.
When James Wingfield took lease
on the local theater the stage was en-

convenient and up-to-date as any in the
country.
These improvements appealed to the

Has It For Another Year.

Otto Negele, The South Holman street
druggist, will not have to move from
his present location for a year at least.
After he had been served with a no
tice to vacate and had delayed doing so
up to the last momenet, he finally made
satisfactory arrangements with Ben
Hayes, the owner OF the property and
has a lease for at least another wear.
This means that Hayes has abandoned
his plan for building a fine building

Indianapolis, Ind, May 3.-Little
by little the aftermath of the demo-
cratic state convention is coming out
and every bit that comes to the sur
face is interesting, for it shows that
politics was played with vengeance.
One of the best stories of the bunch
is the one about the refusal of the
platform committee to insert in the
platform plank endorsing Govern
or Marshall as candidate or presi-
dent There was sensation in po-
litical circles when it was discov-
cred, after the convention that this
had been omitted from the platform,
for it had been expected all along
that the convention would fairly
throw itself to make such endorse
ment.
THEY DIDN'T OvATE.

the air. arms waving. canes swinging
and handkerchiefs fiuttering when this
plank wzss read caused many people to.

gates did not "ovate" worth a cent.

If you have found a great
fault with your neighbor, then
there are two things you may do:
You may overlook the fault or
you may forgive it. If you
charge up his fault to him, and
dislike him for it. then the fault
becomes in part your own, by
adoption. His fault makes you
less manly and less noble.
If your neighbor has wronged
you, then you may forgive the
wrong, and rise higher in man.
