Origin Of the Name Of This Group Of
Daring Criminals.
According to the United States Sc

common TO innumerabie groups Of
criminals operating under the direction
These men are blacknauers. using
murder. arson. kidaap ping and bomb
throwing as punishments for those
who will not submit to their Ubiquitous
demands. Black Hand is. in short. a
handy name for a brand Of crime Pc
culiar to Italian criminals who are sue
cessful in it because Of the tempera-
ment Of the foreign immigrants and
their Unborn dread Of the extortionist.
Whether the central government which
guides the Black Hand society is To-
Gated in the United States or in Italy
is something which neither the Italian
nor American authorities can discover.
United States officers say the name Of
the American Black Hand emapated
from Chicago about ten years ago.
when one Of the first Of many mystic
rious murders in the Italian quarter
remained unsolved. The victim Of the
murder had received warning that
death would follow his failure to con-
tribute a specified sum Of money. The
letter was embeuished with a crude
drawing representing Est clutching a
dagger. The fist and dagger gave the
name Black Hand-later to become un-
pleasantly familiar to every citizen OF
the country-and the sinister sketch
was soon a source Of terror to all law
abiding Italians.-Wide World Maya,

A SAMOAN FISHING BEE.
Trapping the Game With Leaf Chain
Half a Mile Iona.

Trapping the Game With Leaf Chain
Half Mile Long.
A Samoan fishing bee is a unique
sight to witness. .Cocoanut leaves are
gathered in abundance and secured,
doubled and tripled, end to end. to
form a long prickly chain. round In
appearance and about three feet in d.
ameter. These leaf chains are often
woven to a length of half a mile.
When the chain is complete all the
men of that particular village turn
out en- masse with their ''paopaos." or
Samoan canoes.
When the tide Is high the chain Is
stretched across some convenient
place. supported by natives in their
paopaos or simply wading where
the shallowness will permit. The CO.
coanut seine is then submerged and
slowly forced shoreward. the prickly
points driving the fish before them.
When the point is reached where the
chain can rest upon the bottom and
still protrude slightly from the water
the natives after securing the ends to
the beach retire and wait for the tide
to recede, leaving the fish high ano
dry.
1t is often found that large fish are
driven and caught in this manner
but since they are capable Of jumping
the barrier they are dispatched with
spears at once. The catches OF FISH
thus made are sometimes enormous
and often number thousandk-I.os An

George Wainwright and Ben Spencer.

troublesome in those days, and these
two outfits always camped together

with his negro servant as bodyguard.

disturbed during the night. but early

tered his neck at the right Of the
jugular vein and was driven with such
force as to impale the victim to the
tree. The negro. believing his master
was killed. ran to Spencer's camp and
gave the alarm.
Spencer and some Of his men rushed
over to Wainwright. Instead Of being
dead Wainwright was not even seri
ously injured. Spencer cut the arrow
