The exposure of the complete detaiIr
OF the manner in which this willy Itali-
an has managed to extort several hun
dreds of thousand dollars from the
workmen in Gary will create havoc in
the ranks OF those officials who have
been cognizant of his dealings in the

In the opinion of those acquainted with
the situation here, 1t is hard to under
stand their complaisance otherwise.
The chiefs of the steel corporation hav e
been working upon the case for a long
time and it is felt that they now have
evidence sufficient to convict a large
number of their subordinates who con-
slider themselves safe. So anxious have
the leading steel company officials been
to apprehend Mackalusa in Gary that
they have offered the local police in
ducements to capture him. His Black
Hand society however, proved ample
protection and held meetings regularly
for the purpose Of carrying on the
work. At one Of the latest of these

At one time he attended a secret night
session of sixty four of these men and
obtained affidavits. Of which the fol-
lowing is a fair sample:
Question by Clerk Winkler: When
did you go to work?
A.-February the 18th
Q. When did you pay your first
money?
A. When I went to work.
Q. When did you pay the second
amount?
A After the first pay day.
Q. To whom did you pay the money :?
A. To Mackalusa.
Q. Where did you pay the money?
A. In a box car in Gary.
Q. What were you told the money
was for?
A To keep the job for the Big Boss
Q. How long have you worked?
A. Three months.
Q. Was your foreman present when
you paid the money to Mackalusa?
A. He was present in the box car
when I paid the money.
Q. Did you protest?
A. 1 did. but I was told that would
be discharged if did not pay.
The inquiry developed the fact that
men were often discharged without ap-
parent reason. and that failure to pay
resulted, in every instance. in dis
charge.
EVIL GROWS WORSE.
1t was impossible, however to stamp
out the evil without the arrest Of
Mackalusa. The system was so sue
cessful, too. that the work of his con-
fcderates went merrfly on even in his
absence. A large number of the fore
men in the mill were sharing his profits
with him and there are. at this mo
ment, in the employ of the company
two foremen who are ex-convicts
whose identity is known to the secret
service men, who are In the number of
Mackalusa's followers. These two men
have prohted largely in the tyansac-
tions of the gang.
Realizing that Gary was getting too
hot for him to appear in person the
Big Boss had recourse to another meth
cd OF collection. Every month his vic
Tins were directed to repair to a Gary
bank and remit their toll to him in
Chicago. The bank in question has re-
mitted as much as three thousand dol
lars in one month in this way. BY this
time his victims were beginning to get
restless and then the Black Hand en-
tered into action. 1t is notorious fact
now that as many as four meetings a
week of this society have been held in
Gary. One of their meeting places was
on Fifth avenue at the corner of JEFF
ferson street, another in the box cars
where the Italians now live, near Vir-
gfnia street and the railroad tracks,
and yet another in the houses at Rhode
Island and Vermont streets. These
meetings were closely guarded and
Italian bands were even hired to play
while the conspirators discussed their
plans, in order that no outsiders might
overhear them. About this time the
banker who handled the money which
was RENTED to Mackalusa warned all
foreigners against him. The banke~
