ARROWS THAT CARRY FLAME
Method of Starting Fires in Which
Miscreant Can Escape Without
Detection.

Arrows bearing a box of matches
and an ignited cloth, and which are
shot from rice fields and dark alleys,
are now known to be the means by
which the firebugs responsible for sew
eral CONGREGATIONS during the last
week have accomplished their aims.
A strange feature of the present cpl
demic of incendiarism in Manila has
been the utter inability of anyone to
catch the firebugs in the act of firing
houses, and although the police and
private citizens have been on the look
out for these vandals only one charge
of arson has been fled so far.
The police had a theory the work
was done with arrows and that their
theory was correct was proved by the
discovery yesterday afternoon of an
arrow which had been shot at 241
Gale Singalong. The arrow was about
81 inches long and about one cent?
meter in diameter.
To it was tied full box of matches
wrapped with a piece of canvas which
had been saturated with petroleum
The arrow was designed so that being
fixed in the bow, or when ready to be
thrown, the canvas was ignited and
the arrow hurled at the house intend
ed for destruction By the time it
reached it's destination the cloth would
be burned sufficiently to ignite the
matches and an explosion would oc-
cur, setting fire to the surrounding
nipa or bamboo. Standing of at a
convenient distance In a paddy field
or dark street the miscreant would
be able to ignite and fire his arrow
and then escape without detection

PLEDGE POLICIES FOR LOANS
Imprudent Act That Really Means
Man Is Borrowing From His
Widow.

Many men, pressed for money, go
to the life insurance company, de-
post their policy as security and bor-
row as much as the company is will
ing to lend. That the practice is com
mon is proved by the fact that most
companies have loaned from fourth
to third of the aggregate face value
of their policies in this way. Very
few of these loans" says the annual
report of the Connecticut Mutual-and
this company's experience is typical
ARE ever repaid to the company. The
moneys are swallowed up
in business enterprises, in specula-
tions - and the total result
means embarrassment and distress in
great many cases and poverty in
the place of competence, when the
claims mature, and there is nothing
left above the loans but a mere mar
gin in cash on the policies for the.
protection of families or estates"
Men who borrow on their policies are
taking away protection from their
families. 1t ought not to be DONE

saw the death sign given to her, but
the fact that she stopped in the mid
die of her testimony and turned
deathly white is conclusive evidence
that it was given to her.
If her testimony had not been
halted by the death sign we should
have been able to round up every
member of that gang of kidnapers.
She knew them and was ready to tell
all; but when the death sign was
given to her she knew if she divulged
a single name her life would not be
safe, even in jail So it will be seen
that the death sign is often a serious
hindrance to our work.
In another kidnapping case the
death sign was plainly seen Rosina
Martinese, a woman held for com
plicity in the case Of Pietro Pampi
nelli, had agreed to tell the truth
about the affair on the condition that
the charge against her be withdrawn.
Her lawyer and the assistant district
attorney had agreed to this, and she
took the stand to confess her part In
the crime. Even Judge O'Sullivan
asked her if she was ready to confess
and she answered in the Affirmative
white and her black eyes grew fixed
and staring, as though something had
suddenly frightened her into dumb
ness. She clutched at her throat and
placed her hand before her face as
though to shut out the hideous
1 vision.

Impossible to Make
Woman Give Testimony.


Suddenly she shrieked: mo, no;
know nothing! 1 swear I know moth
ing at ALL Her lawyer jumped te
his feet and told the court that she
had confessed her part in the crime
to him and that she had agreed te
tell it on the witness stand. But the
Martinese woman was immovable
She would not utter a word except tc
deny her knowledge of the crime.
While she was protesting her in
nocence a policeman rushed to the
prisoners pen and caught Pietro Pam
pinelli, the man on trial, by the arm.
He had seen him give her the death
sign and he so informed the court.
Subsequent attempts were made to
get the Martinese woman to confess,
but without success. Like others who
had received the sign she knew any
confession on her part would be fol
lowed by a hideous death.
OF course, there are scores of writ
ten death signs. The skull and cross
bones has been a sign of death for
centuries. The Chinese have a death
sign with which they mark the house
of man selected for slaughter, and
I suppose every race has some sort
Of written sign which is synonymous
with death and which has come down
from the earliest times To this day
when an Italian is murdered his rela-
tives dip their fingers in his blood
and make a cross with it. The cross,
by the way, has been the symbol Of
death in almost every cline and age.
But the death sign we are confront
ed with today is the quick gesture
which have described. It is peculiar
to the southern Italians and the
Sicilians. 1 have never known it to
be employed by criminals of any 9TH
er nationality, and in my career I
have dealt with men of all races. 1t
is serious thwarting of justice, but
I have no doubt that it really means
death for the person who disregards
it. While italian criminals are cow
ards when it comes to fighting any
one not of their own race, the spirit
of the vendetta is born in them. The
fact that several witnesses who impli-
Gated their fellow countrymen in seri-
GUS crimes have been mysteriously
murdered not long afterward proves
that the death sign is a dreadful,
horrible reality.-New York Sunday

BY WILLIAM J. FLYNN
(Head of the Bureau Of Detectives
New York Clty.)

" HE death sign, used exclusively
among southern Italians and
Sicilians, is made by placing
the forefinger of the right hand be-
tween the teeth. The instant the
sign is seen by the one for whom 1t
is intended the finger is withdrawn.
The entire movement rarely takes
more than two or three seconds.
Often it is made in single second,
and for that reason it escapes the
notice of even the sharpest observers.
Wien this sign is made by a leader or
representative of gang of bad men
1t never fails to strike terror into the
hearts of witnesses, no matter how
bold or courageous they may be- I
have seen witnesses who had pre-
viously declared their willingness to
testify and who were assured Of pro-
lection suddenly turn white as sheet
and refuse to utter another word
against the prisoner who was on trial
The death sign had been given to
them in open court, and they knew
they would be killed If they said an
other word. And 1t is undoubtedly
true that their lives would be for
feited If they disobeyed the sign. Not
in open court, of course, for the mem
bers of those gangs are arrant cow
ards, but sooner or later some of
their number would murder their VIC
tim.
The uneducated southern Italians
and Sicilians with whom the police
have to dea1 are more superstitious
than any other race of people living
in New York Sign omens have a
peculiar significance for them. The
death sign is a tradition with them.
They have heard about 1t before they
could even talk. They are brought
up to dread 1t, just as they are
brought up to dread the Black Hand.

a Freak of Lightning.

Six people at Hoisington had
miraculous escape from death during
a heavy rainstorm. Glen Humphrey
and little daughter, his son, Mr. Mills
and sister, of Illinois and Mississippi,
and Dot and Fannie Lowrey, of Great
Bend, were driving from Hoisington
to the Humphrey farm and were
caught in the storm. Just as they
turned in the gate at the Humphrey
place at Hoisington, a bolt of light
ming struck the team, killing both
horses. None of the party in the rig
were injured in the least, though they
suffered considerable from the ner-
vOuS ShOock resulting.

Making Orchard Experiments.

Without very much being heard
about it, the most extensive expert
ments conducted for years are now
under way in the orchards around
Hutchinson. They have to do with
the control of blotch on apples, pro-
lection against frost by using fire
pots, and exceptionally valuable data
in the using of several sprays. The
experiments are cooperative between
the owners of the orchards and the
department of horticulture in the
state agricultural college.

TN open court, where justice sits
silk gowned, the very embodiment
of law and order, and in the GER
tain atmosphere of an authority
against which no man may raise a
hand; here, in this very city of New
York, witnesses under oath to speak
the truth only, have halted with I'M
spoken word on lip and become as
mutes at the sight Of the sign of
death.
The sign of death? A fiction? No.
A meaningless motion made to dis
concert the overtlmid? Again no.
A death sign-a reality? AS GER
tain as there are courts of law; a sign
behind which turks the murderous
blade in the hand of killer of men;
a sign of as malign significance as
that of the skull and crossbones on
the black flag at the peak Of the
pirate ship of old.
This sign was made in New York,
in Justice Faucets court, and wit
ness quailed and became speechless.
1t was made again in Justice O'Sul-
livan's court, and a witness covered
and shook like one with the palsy.
What is this sign of death? Will
liam F. Flynn, head of the detective
bureau, second deputy commissioner
of the police department, for years
a secret service man, shrewd, re-
sourceful, successful, knows it well.
He has seen it. They put one sign
of death on the body of victim-a
sign of death accomplished, for to
kill for vengeance without it would
not strike terror. The sign about
which Chief Flynn tells is the other
the warning.

Horton is Exutant.

Horton people are exultant because
E. H. Keller, the city assessor, found
4,56S people within the city limits in
taking this years census. He has
the names of every man, woman and
child to prove his figures. The gov
eminent census last year gave Horton
a population OF only 1850. The many
families of shop employees who live
in suburban homes to avoid paying
city taxes, easily bring the population
UP to five thousand.
