Detectives On Trail.

Captain Booth and other officers
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co..
are spending considerable time try
ing to run down clues in connect
ion with the death CT Joseph Atello,
whose body was found under pile
of ties at Bernice Sunday and who
is said to have died from stab
wounds.
1t has been learned that several
days prior to Attello's disappear
ance two strange foreigners called
at Bernice and were seen talking
to the section boss, Attello. 1t is
the opinion of the Bemice foreign
ers that the two strangers were
agents of the Black Hand and that
they attempted to extort money
from the section boss. Failing to
get the money, it is believed they
killed Attello and then secreted his
body under the ties in order to
give the assailants plenty of time
to make their escape. Attello was
buried yesterday morning and in
terment was made at Bernice.
The officers hope to make an ar
rest within a few days.

Bernice Murder Mystery
Now Comes to Light.

suspected Bernice has been in the
scene of one of the most brutal muir
ders ever committed in Northern
Pennsylvania. The chances are
the guilty parties will never be
brought to justice.
Sunday Polander while chas-
ing his hat which blew off, came
upon the body of an italian who
has been missing since Nov. 2. A
crushed skull and cash in the
throat which extended from ear to
car told only too well the story Of
his death. e
Squire Lowery acting as coroner
held an inquest last night and the
jury returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death by vio-
lence at the hands of parties un-
known, and that he was murdered
for the purpose of robbery.
The name of the italian is un-
known. The body was found in a
ditch near the old breaker in the
West end of Bernice, where folks
seldom go. On top of the body
was a couple of railroad ties and
a big rock which partly hid the re-
mains. They were discovered by
the Polander when his hat blew in
to the ditch and landed on the ties
over the body.T The horrible sight
completely unnerved the finder
and he fled from the spot shout
ing as he ran.
The body was identified as the
italian who strangely disappeared
on Nov. 2, shortly after receiving
his pay and that of his 16-year-old
son. The boy was left destitute,
and kind friends provided for him
for few weeks while he waited
for his father to return. Not hear
ing from the parent, he gave up in
despair, and like the rest of the
people in Bernice came to the con-
that the father had been
murdered and his body made way
with. The boy was sent to Pitts
burg where he had friends.
Searching parties secured every
nook and corner in Bernice, search
ed old mine workings but found
no trace of the body. They re-
manned firm in the belief that the
man met with foul founded.
The missing man was employed
with gang of Italians on track
work at Bernice, and it was believ-
ed that he was murdered for his
money by his fellow workmen.
They stayed in Bernice for coup
lie of weeks after he disappeared,
and when the work was finished
they went away to no body knows
where.
When the clothes on the body
were serached 45 cents in money
and watch were found. About
$50 which the man drew short
time before he disappeared could
not be found. When the clothes
were stripped from the body, a
belt was found around one of the
lower limbs, and in this receptacle,
was Sill. This had been over
looked by the murderers. The
watch was left on the person as the
assassin did not dare take it for fear
that it would lead to his detection.
Italians usually carry their wealth
in belt..worn around the waist un-
der the clothes. This man chang
ed the plan and put it in belt
which he wore around one of his
legs. That was how the murderer
came to overlook it.
The body was in fair state Of
Snow fell deep
shortly after the italian disappear
ed and did not melt until a few
days ago. The body has been
covered with snow and ice since
the murder and this accounts for
the condition. .-Towanda Review.

Drummond bears the distinction OF

Che proposed Mississippi to the Allan
tic waterways and was one of the or
ganizers of the association to further
the movement, and he believes, as do
others, that the construction of such

sacola and the surrounding country
than a railroad.
An inland waterway as proposed
Mr.. Drummond said to Journal rep

night, would be more beneficial to
Pensacola than railroad, | firmly be-
Geve. For one thing, it would create
competition in the freight charges and
lower rates would be the result. All
of the heavy feed shipments, the ma
chinery, would be brought here at
lower rate than is now possible. for
water transportation is really cheaper
every time

ed faithfully for it. l believe that
there will be no trouble in passing the
bill in the senate. What is needed is
to keep alive the present growing SEN
timent, and I am sure the people of
this city have done their part. That
resolution Of the Chamber of Com
merce, and the support given by your
people is highly appreciated by the as
sociation. Such work as this will
carry the project through"
The gentleman explained in his own
enthusiastic manner how the construc-
tion of the canal from the MissisipDi
to st. Andrews would help all of this
section. Il Believe now, as / under
stand it, there is proposition afoot to
build link in the canal from Mobile.
That, l believe, would be the easiest
way to handle it at the present time
The appropriation, according to the
house measure, is 100000, which
would aid materially. Personally, l
hope that the extension will go to st.
Andrews Bay"
Rejecting for a moment, Mr. Drum-
mond said: This is fine house, and
one that will do wonders for Pensa-
cola, l believe" referring to the big
hotel in which he sat. mo, five years
ago, house like this would have been
rather impossible, if not impracticable.
But, inside of the next five years,
think, there will be another one needed
in Pensacola, Just about the size of
this one. This section is growing, and
the city is. too" He said spch a hotel
brings to Pensacola a class OF de-
sirable citizens, of men with money,
who, looking out for money-making in
vestments, would be not slow to recog-
nize good business project in Pensa-
cola. The presence of the moneyed
men, he. said, would always be good
thing.

Albany. March 19.-President Taft,
Earl Grey, governorgeneral of Cana
da.T and Governor Hughes met here
today and formed a notable trio Of
guests at the banquet of the Universi-
ty club of this city tonight. President
Taft arrived from Rochester this az
ternoon to be the guest of Governor
Hughes until Monday.
Owing to the acuteness of the situa-
tion at Albany the president does not
feel the time is ripe for him to par
ticipate in the affairs of the Republi-
can party in the state. The president
was driven from the executive man
sion to the tuberculosis congress,
where he made a speech warmly COM
mending the work of the congress.
Earl Grey arrived about an hour
after the president reached here. The
Canadian tariff conference will be
held tomorrow afternoon, when the
Canadian minister Of finance will
reach here. Although admitting that
the situation is grave as regards the
prospect of settlement with Cana
da, President Taft is hopeful that a
personal interview with the minister
of finance may do much toward for
warding the negotiations.
slAt Utica, on his way to Albany, the
president this morning told the crowd
that when he was last there he was q
candidate for the presidency, and to-
day he wasn't so sure he was glad
he had won.
