ALLEDCE BLACK HAND LETTERS

Into the Hungarian banking and
exchange Office of Markell & Irkovitz,
874 Alexander avenue, New York,
there stepped yesterday morning a
swarthy and dusty young man, about
% years old. Placing three letters on
the desk OF the manager, Hugo Kar-
dos, he announced:
Il want two Of these letters trans
lated into English. You needn't trans
late the third. I'll come for them at
8 o'clock. "
Then he hurried out.
Kardos saw that two OF the letters
were addressed to Mr.. Rockefeller. "
The third was addressed to the Man
ager OF Markell & Irkoyitz. " All were
written in Hungarian. The letter TO
himself, Kardos said, read
'Inclosed find two letters which I'd
like to have you translate into En0lsh.
II YOU don't do this for me, I'm going
to kill you. II you have me arrested
it makes no difference, since my associ-
alton is very big and will get you:
IF. X"
IF. X" Kardos said, stand for
"Fekede Kez," the Hungarian for
"blackhand.
This was tn first letter to Mr.. Rocke
feller, Kardos said
Il have been sent by tho anarchistic
society and the Black Hand TO demand
$50 900 from you. and should you re-
fuse to pay the society that amount, we
will kill YOU. Fifty thousand dollars
that does not amount to much, and il
you refuse to pay it you will be killed.
We have other people who contribute
weekly, monthly and llali-yearly, but
we do not want it this way from you.
We want an immediate payment from
you.
We will engage man on the street

Put it in q box and seal it, and give it to
the man. He wont know what's IN
the box. We will send you another
letter telling .xqesyiat tins the s, man ma

The Second letter to Mr.. Rockefeller
similarly signed, read:

THE scMENK INFEMCITIEs.

In a room in the tower Of the
Wheeling. w. Va, isil, fitted up
with rocking cair and quilts from
her own palatial home, Mrs. Laura
Farnsworth Schenk remained prls-
oner yesterday without the privilege
Of bail, awaiting developments in the
illness OF her husband, John u.
Schenk, millionaire pork packer.
The arraignment OF Mrs. Schenk On
charges that she attempted to poison
her husband by putting arsenic IN his
food and drinking water will he de-
laycd pending the outcome OF his sick
ress.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk is the
daughter Of poor family in Marietta
Ohio. She went to Wheeling % years
ago and found employment as do
mcStic, She worked as such in sew
eral homes in Wheeling until, 10 years
later. Mr.. Schenk, who was then
81 years old and wealthy, took her
to his palatial home on Wheeling Is
land in the Ohio river, as his wife.
She is blond, of ruddy complexion
and buxon form. At the island homo
she has entertained literally and she
and her husband were very fond Of
motoring. Only recently he made her
a present OF q fine touring car.
They have two chiIdren-VirginIa'
AGED 10. and Robert, aged 7 years
who have been placed in the care OF
relatives and are kept in Ignorance Of
the charges against their mother.
After the arrest OF the woman stories OF
marital infelicity and Of racy escaPadrs
INDUCED in by Mrs. Schenk began to
crop out. 1t was said that Mrs. Schenk
had shown n marked PARTLY for yarl-
Gus men. one OF them a musician, and
that she had taken another, who is
prominent in Wheeling, to Atlantic City
lavishing money on him. As motives
for Wishing to get her husband out OF
the way a species Of money madness
and desire to shine in society are men-
toned.
Mr.. Schenk il is said, wasyery liberal
toward his wife and gave her many
costly things. but could not be gotten
out OF the plain, simple ways OF Ger
man who had risen to great wealth from
small beginnings.
The couple, it is asserted, had tre-
quent quarrels. usually over Mrs.
Schenk's "carry'ngs on" with men,
and in this connection it i iutimated
that when the family chauffeur is put
on the stand lie will testify concerning
some lively episodes.
Mrs. Schenk, it is stated, seemed 10
have an insatiato desire to spend money
and was constantly making greater de-
mands upon her husbands purse.
Chauffeur after chauffeur was discharg-
ed by the husband because Of the wife's
peculiarities, it is alleged.
According to all accounts the affair
has all the elements OF scandal OF the
first magnitude, and some startling de-
velopments are looked for.

Of. Any New" American western
town can show similar structures.
They are "clinker" built two-story af.
fairs unpretentious as to outward ap-
pearance.
But 1t is their history that counts.
These buildings always have possess.
ed more or less interest to American
visitors, as they were erected during
the first year of the American war
of independence. AS specimens of
early London building work they pos
sess an interest in themselves. After
the great London fire of 1906, a large
number of wooden buildings were
erected in various parts of London and
though these particular ones did not
come into existence until hundred
years afterwards they were regarded
in their day as among the most impos-
ing edifices of their kind.
Historically, the buildings possess
interest as having been the temporary
abiding place of the famous engineer,
Isambard Kingdom Brunei, who built
the first tunnel under the Thames,
and also planned the famous Clifton
suspension bridge which won him
fame in the engineering world. Brunei
also was the designer of the Great
E.-stern, the largest ship ever built,
and of the first propeller ship to cross
the Atlantic. 1t is said that he lived
in these houses during the years of the
greatest engineering activity.
The district in which these houses
stand Is not now considered select"
one, but, in the early days, several
prominent London city merchants re-
sided there; and in this neighborhood
also lived numerous famous actors and
actresses, Garrick, Mrs. Siddons and
Sheridan at enc time lived on the
south side of the river and even in
the carrier days Shakespeare's thea
ter+the Globe-of which the poet held
the majority of shares-stood in the
neighborhood of Blackfriars bridge.

Adventures in Discontentrnent

I came here eight years ago as the

the thickness of the former owner,
who showed me the lease and, at the
last moment, substituted a deed for
it. Next day when | discovered the
swinde | hunted the owner, but he
had gone. Yet by borrowing a little

cles on agriculture (of which | am suf-
ficiently ignorant to do sol | have

My leaving the city is largely, still
believe, due to my boss's eccentricity.
His ideas of work did not in any de-
gree coincide with mine, try as | might
to make him see the error of his ways.
He held an old-fashioned notion that
an employee should arrive at work
about beginning time, work steadily
through till luncheon, then return and
work till closing time. He even held
to the extreme and absurd theory that
when business was rushing the en-
ployes should exert themselves to ac-
complish more work in a given time
than they ordinarily produced.
At length, one morning when | had
grown especially sick of the hurry
all about me and was filled with a
vague uneasiness lest | might catch
this spirit of endless rush and vulgar
pandering to what the world calls
Success, my boss came to see me,
and said:
"The quantity and quality Of your
work of late have been very disap-
pointing. We have another man to
take your place. Go, get your time"
His remarks were so unbearably Of
fensive to me, and so full of downright
insolence and assumption of inequality
between us, that then and there de-
termined to quit working under this
man. My determination was unalter-
able. Though didn't know what I
should do for a livelihood, I rolled
down my sleeves, got my pay-check
and left. No man can talk that way
