Black Hand Takes Terrible
Revenge on Wealthy
Manufacturer
KILLED ON HIS DOOR STEP
Two Men Suspected of Heinous
Deed Are Now Under Arrest
in Windy City.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Revenge is now
believed to have Deen the motive of
the murder of Charles Wiltshire, a
wealthy glove manufacturer, who was
found dead last night at the door
of his factory with thirty-seven
stiletto wounds in his body. About a
month ago Wiltshire caused the ar
rest of two Italians for having sold
him stolen property. One was sent
enced to the house of correction, the
other was dismissed. The police be
lieve that the freed man, who is now
in custody, planned the murder. The
belief is substantiated by the identi-
fication of the stiletto sheath found
near the body as the property of the
brother of the suspect. Two men are
under arrest, Lorenzo Barretelli and
Frank Ebbele. The sheath was iden-
titled as belonging to the latter's
brother, Chris Ebbele, who is believed
to be in Milwaukee.
Christopher Ebbele who was ar
rested here during the morning de-
MED all knowledge of the murder.

Philadelphia Feb. 12.-'I do not

BLIZZARD IN
SOUTH AND EAST
Ten Inches of Snow in Ten

Pennsylvania.
TRAFFIC HAD TO SUSPEND
Storm in Northwestern New York
Was The Severest Since
That of 1881.

A raging blizzard drifting snow and
rain and sleet are scourging the east
ern and southern states today. Pitts
burgers are fioundering through snow
seventeen inches deep to reach their
mills and Offices, while railroad and
trolley lines in that section of Penn
sylvania are badly blocked. From all
sections of western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio come reports
of suspended traffic and snow blocked
highways The storm in that section
is still raging. Four inches of snow
fell in Philadelphia during the night.
Then it turned to rain with resulting
conditions that can be imagined.
Four inches of snow also fell in New
York City, and Big Bill" Edwards,
the former Princeton guard, now
street commissioner of the metropolis,
was getting ready his shovel and

storm ceased. Two fishing vessels

told of the arguments made in the
lower courts and in the United States
supreme court
The Beveridge statehood bill omlts
all provision for the redemption OF
the debt of Santa Fe county, by a
grant of land, or otherwise, but still
the hope exists that in committee the
bill may be SO amended as to supply
the omission This hope is not a
very definite one. Every step should
be taken to secure the payment OF
these debts but meanwhile it would be
gross carelessness to let the pending
suits upon overdue coupons go to
Judgment by default, even if there is
only a forlorn hope of defeating any
part of the bondholderss claims. The
fighting chance should be taken. There

In the case recently decided in the
supreme court of the United States
Santa Fe county lost as the result OF
negligence in the past. The defense
particularly relied on in those cases
was "that the act of valuation is in.

able of enforcement because the
bonds in question are described as
being those issued under the funding
act when there were at least ten
different funding acts, because the
bonds attempted to be validated in
