singer so carefully are doing so not only
to protect him from harm. but also to
use him as the bait to attract the brig
ands to their trap.
Detectives have been unable to learn
how Caruso complied with the demand
for money. He has been ordered to pay
more, and he seems willing to pay 1t
rather than to arouse the extortionists.
According to report, many wealthy
Italians in New York continually pay
tribute to blackmailers and say moth
ing, because they are convinced that
Is the best way.
Their theory Is said to be that no
matter how many alleged Black Hand
ers are caught, there are hordes to take
their places. And nc matter whether
the extortioners are organized or free
agents. there are enough Of them to
throw bombs and use knives and pis-
tolls. So they pay and say nothing.
The police are said to be satisfied
that Caruso takes a view something
similar to this, and that he Is really
in danger. The first levy made, 81. 900,
he Is said to have paid three months
ago. Since then small demands have
been made and met, so runs the story.
Caruso proved UGH an easy mark,
again according to the report, larger
and more frequent demands were made.
But he will tell nothing. and 1t is not
known how he paid the 81. 900 or where.
Three weeks ago came the demand for
5000 and the worst of the death
threats.

to settle the argument would be to

compete, but were unable to be present
yesterday.
Once at the range, the three doughty

of the spit-fire guns resounded through

had rolled away, it was found that Cap
tain Samuel Brown had won with the
excellent score of So, closely followed by
Captain John Brown, with rs; Captain

The contest was undoubtedly a fore
runnersrof many others to follow. The
news of the captains exploits soon got
around in the various precincts, and
challenges flew thick and fast, Captain

for Captain Browns laurels b he

Sergeant William H. STICKY, who will

Today there are 700 boys in Newark

Ing is any more likely to be their lot,
but because they have learned to swim.
In three lessons Prof. Carson has ac-
complished this, and of the 1000 school
boys whom he started with on Monday
last three u of five are able to swim
today, four out of five can swim some
distance, while every one who has
taken the lessons given free through
the Y. NJ. C. A. wilt be able to swim
with a little effort, and probably If
thrown into the water unexpectedly
would strike out and accomplish 1t. T
Three out Of five wan h length Of
the swimming pool at the Y. M. c. A.
after their third lesson. Prof. Carson
refuses to all them lessons. saying
that their first time in the pool was d
wash-up and a ducking, to get used to
the water; the second was a lesson,
while the third was a tryout to see
which of them had learned to swim.
The scene in the pool today was in

hard time getting through, while some
went under at half way, losing con-
ldence or trying to swim while hold

The stroke taught by Professor Cor
son is the crawl stroke, with the scis-
sors kick, which gives the least resist
ance to the water, and is of the great
est hygienic value and the best exer-
else for the lungs. 1t also develops the
shoulders. The stroke is fully described
to the boys, so that they can use their
reasoning powers in conjunction with
initiating their instructor in the learn
ing.
A large class of boys is also being
taught from the membership of the Y.
M. c.. A., and of this class everyone
taking the course will be graduated a
swimmer. OF the senior members of
the association there is a class of 100
non-swimmers and they will also be
turned out accomplished in the art.
To every schoolboy who has learned
to win in the lessons given this week
buttons will be presented n when the
list of those entitled to them. is COM

Statement by Ferguson's Manager.
Waiter Ferguson Of Cherokee. man
agcr for Tom Ferguson, Republican
candidate for governor on the Repub-
lcan ticket gave the following state
mcnt regarding Tuesdays election:
we have have. carried the first
ana second congressional districts by
heavy maiorities. From indications
the e,third district will be evenly diyid-
ed between Fields. McNeal and Fer
guson. Our vote in The short grass
country exceeded our estimate about
fifty per ceat The rural returns
which are yet to be received will sub
stantially increaFe .he Ferguson vote.
Another encouraging point is that
Ferguson ran second IN every Fields
county and from reports the same y
true OF Jones counties. For instance
the vote of Ferguson over McNeal IN
Oklahoma county will be equivalent
to a substantial county majority. Nc
Neal will come up strong with the
fourth congressional district, where
the Republican vote Is very light and
am confident although he should
carry Il soIidly. that he can not over
come the majonties we have receiv-
ed in tho first and second districts
That the returns are not complete IS
evident from the returns received
from my own county. Alfalfa. The
vote has not been caavassed and will
not be until Friday. The returns at
present in Alfalfa connty only show q
majority for Ferguson Of 200 when
