STORE BURNED
 AFTER BLACK
 HAND LETTERS
Promine nt Member of Bridgeport's Italian Colony
 Believes Himself Victim
 of Blackmailers.

Frank Locastro. a prosperous mer- chant at 739 Pembroke street, promi- nent jn East Bridgeport's Italian colony, is convinced that the incendi- ary fire at his store early today was set by the authors of several ''black hand' letters recently sent him through the mail.
 Loeastro has received no less than three such threatening letters, each of them demanding the delivery to the authors of 9 large sum ill cash One of them, sent a month ago, de manded the delivery of $1,0o0 to a for the delivery of the cash at the west end of the Congress street bridge on the following night. He didn' t give the letter to the authorities until after the time specified.
 It was further explained that the man awaiting the cash could be iden- tified by a basket he would bear up- on his arm, and that he would be old and stopped.
 Fire broke out at Locastro's store at 2 o'clock this morning. Patrolman McPadden and Flood were near the store when the cries of fire aroused the neighborhood. Finding the avn ing ab1aze they tore it down, and thought for the moment that they had the blaze under control when to their surprise they found that the in terfor of the store was in fam An the fire department and the blaze was then extinguished with chemicals at a loss of about $500. The awning was found resolent of kerosene.
 Locastro turned over the threaten ing letters to the authorities but he could not furnish them with any clue as to the authorship. He has made enemies so far as he know, and he believes the work is that of idlers who thought that he would rather give up the money demanded than live in terror of the execution of the threats of the self professed black handlers.

CHAMP CLARK SAYS
 SENATOR CUMMINS
 THE MAN IN 1912
Special from United Press.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 27.-Repub- licans and Democrats alike are con- fused, today, as result of Congress man Champ Clark's speech here, last night, in which he declared that Sem ator A B. Cummins, of Iowa, would , he the Republican nominee for Presi- dent in 1912. Incidentally, Clark pre- dicted his own selection as Speaker of the next House.
 Don't be too hard on Senator Cum mlins,'' said Congressman Clark. Hes running as high as he can for the { Presidential nomination, and he'll get it, unless Roosevelt can beat him and I don't think he can"
 This statement was made after he had referred to the difference in the speeches of Senator Cunmins and the Colonel. Roosevelt, he declared, was making insurgent speeches in New Hampshire, stand-pat speeches in Massac chusetts and and speeches neither insurgent nor stand-pat in New York, while Cummins was urging Republicans to be Republican all the time.
 'In Kansas, Roosevelt was insur- gent said Clark, Gin Missouri he was progressive, and ih St. Louis he was in an airship. He's like an Irfshman' s flea; when you undertake to put your thumb on him, he isn't there.''

WRESTLER ROLLER
 NOT A CHAMPION
Especial from United Press.)

Buffalo, Oct. 27.-FoIlowers of the wrestling game, today, are of the opinion that Dr. B. F. Roller, the Seattle mat artist, is not good enough to fill the championship shoes of Frank Gotch. Roller last night at1 tempted to throw three second rate wrestIers in an hour. He disposed of the first two in 40 minutes, but Mort Henderson proved a Tartar and stayed the 20 minutes. The report that Gotch has turned over the cham pionship to Henry Ordeman, of Min neapo1is, is not accepted with good grace by the local followers, who de- clare there is no precedent for such a move.
