KILLED BY BLACK HAND
Rich Italian Dairyman Paid No
Attention to Threatening Letters

Because he had received threatening let
ters recently. tho police believe the Black
Hand is responsible for the death Of James
Rusgia, a rich Italian dairyman, Of For
est Park, Long Island, who was found
murdered Yesterday morning in the hall
way of 2 tenement house at Linden street
and Irving avenue, Williamsburg.
RUgEia left his dairy early yesterday
morning to deliver milk 20 his customers
in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn
Carrying 3 lantern with him. Ruggla left
his wagon with several bottles Of milk.
while his helper, Cillupo Bauste, was also
delivering milk in the nelghborhood When
Ruggia entered the hallway Of No 3l3 Lin
den street Batiste heard three shots In the
still air. Batistc then saw three or four
men run out Of the hallway and disappear
through Irving avenue.
Detectives of the Hamburg avenue sta
ton learned from Batste that Ruggia was
in partnership with his brother, Dominick,
and that both the RugSas got letters from
the Black Hand recently demanding $500
The Ruggias paid no attention to the let
ters and did not seek the aid Of the police
though some time ago Domlnick found
himself locked in a house in the neighbor-
hood Of yesterdays crime.
When he gained his freedom his horses
and wagon had been stolen from the street
in front Of the house. He received letter
stating that on the receipt of 500 the
horses and wagon would be returned. He
denies that he paid the money for the re-
turn Of his property, though the horses
and wagon were returned TO him.

the present restaurant building alongside
the Arsenal.
The menagerie should be retained

the exhibits are housed should be modern
ones. At present the lion house is almost
falling down With the removal of the

Employees of the department say the old

servation of energy and effort its
slogan.
Whether hard times or good times
are ahead, the farmer will not be
able to minimize the effect of the
cause you know some crooked GUS
toners in j.? There are many such
in every religious denomination. in
many secret orders, one or two black
sheep in your own family.
Does that fact keep you out of the
church, the secret order, or cause
YOU to desert your family? Hardly.
It makes you more anxious to 80 in
and cure these evils, if you are worth
being called a man, and not a beast.
That same influence should bring
you into the Farmers Union, with
the divine determination to help
your brother man-and if you help
your brother man, you cannot avoid
helping yourself, and your children
and your children's children.
Some foolish people have believed
we wanted to injure the small mer-
chant, and have therefore criticised
US. or refused to affiliate with us.
Tell such people that we do not
intend to put the small merchant, or
any other. rightful business factor,
out of commission. We want to CO.
operate upon equal terms with the
business man. We need the mer-
chant, we need the banker, the
manufacturer, the teacher, the editor,
the preacher, other professional peo-
pie. And they all need us, as
friends, and not as suspicious out
siders
The greatest drawback the Amerl-
can farmer has ever labored under
has been his willingness to be swayed
by the man who flattered him, and
who would not tell him unpleasant.
but wholesome, truths. This day is
passing! The farmer IS learning to
pick the cotton strands out of the
wool-where the politician and the
public man is concerned. The quick
er he completes the job. the better
for his own material, moral, mental
and spiritual salvation and those Of
his brethren.
The Farmers Union has survived
some of the most develish schemes
ever devised TO crush an organlza-
! ton. With infinitely less money
than any organization Of our numer-
ical Importance. we have accom-
plished vast results
We are turning pow with increas-
ing emphasis to the job OF distrlo-
uting our products in business way.
Heretofore, many counselors have
urged and helped" US in the matter
Of production. Now We are seeing
