BOYS CAUGHT IN
BLACK HAND GAME

New York. February 24.-Two boys
were arrested tonight in Central park
in connection with black hand" let
ter recently received by Mrs. Louisiana
Hayemeyer, widow of Henry o. Have
myer. the sugar millionaire. The let
ter was written in boyish scrawl and
signed "black hand" and was embel-
lished with a dagger pierced heart
revolver and a bottle marked poison. 1t
read in part:
I'VE demand $2500 of you as a con-
tribution to the black hand organiza-
tion. If it is not Forthcoming we Will
blow up your house or kill your family.
You cannot escape. Don't tell the police
or your family will suffer. Comply with
our demands and we will protect you
With revolver or dagger or poison in
your food we will reach you"
Explicit directions were given to

by two detectives, carried out the In

Boston. February 24.-'It was GER
tainly to the advantage of everything
and everybody that Castro was de-
posed and exiled from Venezuela. and
equally advantageous that Zelaya was
deposed and exiled from Nicaragua"
said Charles E. Magoon in a speech
before the Commercial club of Boston
this evening.
Continuing, he said;
mo more salutary lesson could have
been given the men occupying official
stations in the turbulent Central
America and South America republics
A great step in advance will be taken
when realization Is forced upon
them that there exists a power that
will hold them individually responsible
for the results of official misdemean-
ors and maladministration.
.'Of course, this authority must be
exercised only as a last resort and not
until 1t has been demonstrated thai the
people of the country whose duty 1t Is
to correct the evil are unable to apply
the proper remedies. But when that
deplorable condition Is found, 1t is the

government to deal with the offending

Conr1ers Is Still Chairman But
Murphy Gets Part Of His Scalp

The state committee will meet in April
TO elect new chairman. Todays meet
ing lasted is minutes. After the COM
promise was reached, which was arranged
at a personal conference between Con-
ners and Murphy. all fear Of clash at
the meeting vanished.
Four resolutions were quickly adopted
without dissenting voice. The first res
olution was In favor OF federal income
tax and urged '.our representatives in the
Legislature to press for passage and vote
for the amendment, to the federal con-
stitution, giving the congress OF the Unit
ed States power to impose a tax on in
comes"
The second resolution placed the COM
mScte on record as favoring the direct
primary bills already introduced in the
present legislature.
The committee then criticised republic
can missrule and the iniquitious tariff
reforms and adopted resolution de-
claring the republican party won the last
national election on a platform pledging
specifically to revise the tariff downward
but in spite of the pledge, "the recent
revision has in no wise removed from
the shoulders of the great masses OF the
people the burden of indirect taxation
which the republican policy of protection
imposes upon them for the benefit OF
the few"

London. February 24.--The first trin Y
strength in the new parliament was wit
messed tonight at crowded session of the
house. Austen Chamberlain's fiscal amend
ment was rejected by vote OF 285 to 254.
Speeches were made by Arthur J. Bal
foui, leader of the opposition; Chancellor
Lloyd George, Walter Runciman. presi-
dent of the board of education. and 9TH
ers, none of which, however, gave any
new aspect to the fiscal controversy.
Although victorious only by the narrow
majority of 81, the government may re-
gard the result as very satisfactory mas
much as there was no cross-voting and no
evidence of any intention on the part OF
the discontented groups to overthrow the
ministry
All the nationalists. the O'Brientes, as
well as the Redmonites, refrained from
voting. The laborites voted with the
government and Belloc, Bottomley and
Wedgewood, three liberals, refrained.
Division was taken amid scene of
great excitement, and the figures as an-
noanced were received with tremendous
opposition cheers.

Albany. N. Y. Feb. 24.-Wm. ]. Con-
ners made good his prediction today that
he would still be chairman of the demo-
cratic executive committee after It's meet
in rtoday. However he lost most of his po-
uttcai scetp tlx aratsveiy to chas. p MUIR
phy. The Tammany chieftain whose COM
plete mastery OF the situation was realiz-
ed by no one better than by conners
himself granted the Buffalo leader brief
political reprieve in the interest OF the
party harmony after Conners had agreed
10 resign in April and to repudiate his
recent harsh statements concerning Mr..
Murphy and the alleged auctioning OF
iudgeships in New York, which he de-
clared were the result of his 'infirmities
of temper" and he said were unjustif1ed
in fact.
Chairman Conners was reelected for
two-years term. April II, 1909. He an
nounced at the meeting today that under
no conceivable circumstances would he
he a candidate for reelection. He prom
ised. however. to work hard to uphold
the hands of his successor and to aid
in restoring the democratic party to
power.
