Minister Who Fought Gang Of
Black Handlers Visited
With the Torch.
CASE A MOST UNIQUE ONE
FATHER cERUTTI SENDS GANG
70 PRISON AND ON THEIR RE-
LEASE THEY REVENGE THEM
SELVES ON HIM.


Wflkesbarre, Pa. March ia plot
Of revenge today led to the firing Of
the church of Our Lady Of Mount
Carmel. at Carbondale, near here
and the destruction of the church
with a loss of $4,000.
The crime is attributed to members
of the most desperate black hand
gang that ever operated in this part
of Pennsylvania which was broken
up four years ago by the pastor Of
the church, the Rev. Father Anthony
Cerutti Several of the blackmailers
were released from prison a few
days ago and since then, besides the
latest outrage three incendiary fires
have been set in the homes of Ital-
ians who aided the priest in the fight
that sent the gang to prison.
Four years ago Father Cerutti in
vestigated the work of the blackmail-
ers among his Pensioners and or
ganized the prosecution. After a bit
ter legal fight several men were sent
to prison. At the time threats of re-
.venge were made to all concerned
with the prosecution. and the life of
Father Cerutti was constantly in
danger.
A Mysterious Warning.
Since their release the freed men,
bcrs of the black hand gang have
been seen about Wilkesbarre. A mys-
terious warning is said to have been
conveyed to the priest, who paid no
attention to it. The burning of the
church was accomplished with all
the craftiness of dangerous Grimm
ais.
A shanty In one section of the city
was set afire filled with hay. The
flames seemed to come from a fierce
ly burning house and the entire de-
partment was rushed to the scene.
When all the apparatus was at the
worst point for attending the fire in
the church the flames were discover
ed there. The fire had been careful
ly placed and was we'll advanced be-
fore discovered. When the fire ap-
paratus arrived. little could be done
except to confine the blaze to the
church.
Father Cerutti declared that he be-
lieved the fire the work Of the black
mailers.
But we will rebuild the church i'm
mediately," he said.

Seeing their weeks of work endang-

United Societies, the "drys" rallied all
their possible strength in the cleo

were sent broadcast over the city
for an hour of prayer. Women who
have been prominent in anti-vice and
prohibition work marshaled their for
ces at the w. c. T. U. headquarters
and then went to the election COM
missioners urging that the petition be
allowed in force.
The ''drys" were insistent that the
petition had been filed in good faith
and that every effort had been made
to eliminate doubtful names. One in
stance was cited where Mayor Buses
name was signed almost 1000 times
by jokers. The "drys" also charged
the VETS with using a repeating
squad to place fictitious names on
the petition.

Old Lady Failed to Keep Young Hus
bands Affections.

Washington, June 25.-An interest
ing story was told by Mrs. Anna Smith
to a jury in criminal court No. 1
yesterday, Justice Gould presiding,
where Frederick Carlton, alias Ackert,
was found guilty of the larceny of
$500.
The story dates back to 1908, when
Mrs. Smith, who is years older than
Carlton, met him while he was in the
United States navy, and stationed at
Norfolk, Va. Carlton testified that
Mrs. Smith fell in love with him and
offered to buy his way out Of the
navy, which proposition was agree
able to the defendant, and the couple
were married at Alexandria in No
vember, 1908.
Mrs. Smith testified that Carlton
gave her glowing descriptions of life
in the west, and induced her to turn
all her assets into cash, which she did,
intrusting the money to his care.
Carlton did not long linger near his
better half, and Mrs. Smith soon be-
came suspicious that he had appro-
priated her money. He was arrested
in Birmingham, Ala, and returned to
this city, where subsequently he was
indicted.
In his own behalf Carlton swore
that he did not mean to run away
with thhe money, but had been dele
gated by his "wife" to purchase rail-
road tickets to Corpus Christi, Tex,
instead of which he became intoxi-
Gated, and the first thing he knew he
was in Kentucky. Later he went to
Alabama.
The first witness was Mrs. Lillian
Ackert of Centerville. Miss, who tes-
titled to the defendants marriage to
her, which marriage is still in force
She refused to testify further, upon
the advice Of Counsel O'Shea, in which
she was upheld by the court, her
knowledge being privileged. AS Mrs.
Ackert left the court room she was
served with subpoena in a civil
proceeding instituted by Mrs. Smith,

as to make coordination and o

"The administration theory seeks
to preserve the initiative Of the rail-
road company. but to create tribunal
to which appeals may be made In
cases of threat ,ned abuse of its power
of initiative so that investigation can
be had before an apparently unwar-
ranted toll to je levied upon the pub
lie. The opposing theory would de-
stroy all initiative and substitute gov
ernment initiative for that of the car
riers. This would be but one step
from government ownership.
Fortunately, as l think, the theory
first referred to prevailed with con-
gress and, under the new law, the
railroad .compa les are, as they should
be, left to carry ON their business on
their initiative. cautioned by the fact
that, in case any proposed action ts
unduly burden ,.me to the public, there
is a tribunal to which appeal may be
had. not simply for restitution, but for
the application of the equitable prin-
ciple Of preventing threatened
wrong.
"Such powers as these, exercised
with conservative regard to the rights
of the carriers and the public alike,
as such great powers must undoubt-
edly be exercised, cannot fail, in, my
opinion, to remove much of the feel
ing of antagoiiism between shippers
and carriers, which has existed in the
past, and be conducive to a greater
stability in railroad securities than
has hitherto obtained"
