GOVERNMENT TO END
CHICAGO'S TERROR REIGN.
Secret Service Men at Work on
Black Hand Gang.

CHICAGO, March 2s.-United States
secret service operatives are about to
explode a "Black-Hand' bomb that is
expected finally to bring TO justice
officers and members of the body that
in a little more than one year has
claimed nearly forty lives and caused
a reign of terror in the Italian dis
trict.
The threat upon the life of Judge K.
NJ. Lands, of the United States Dis
trict Court, 1t vas learned yesterday,
was but one feature of a program of
threats and blackmail that has been
carried into the midst of the govern
ment's department of justice in Chi
cago
The threats resulted in the recalling
of members of the F. G. Alongi jury,
which disagreed after hearing evidence
in a Black-Hand case a week ago, and
the discovery that members of the jury
had been terrorized, and that their IN
ability to reach a verdict probably was
the direct result of these threats.
It is known that numerous Italian
secret service men, imported from New
York in order to prevent them being
marked by the organization which is
being investigated, are at work seek
ing evidence to be used in the sched-
uled move of the government.

PROBE PLANS FOR
HUDSON COUNTY
Bill Referred to Committee on
Miscellaneous Corporations.
Vote Is to 3.
[From a STAFF Correspondent


TRENTON. March 28.-The Senate
resolution providing for an investiga-
ton of the affairs of Hudson and other
counties, by a vote of Is to 3, last night
was referred to the committee on mis-
c%ellaneous corporations. The resolution,
which was offered by Senator Freling-
huysen, sets forth the Egan-Davis
financial dealings that have been ex-
plotted in the newspapers.
The resolution authorizes the presi-
lent of the Senate to appoint an in
v~estigating committee, to consist Of
three senator's. The committee, II the
resolution should eventually be adopt
ed, would have these powers:
II. All those conferred by law upon
any special Senate committee.
"2. To sit In In part Of the State
at any time during or after the pres
ent session, but prior to the commence
ment of the session in 1912.
"3. To issue subpoenas; to compel
the attendance of witnesses inc the
production of books, vouchers and
rapers from and in any part of the
State; to swear and affirm witnesses,
TO cause their examination to be re-
duced to writing, to enforce answers to
all proper questions and to institute
proceedings for the prosecution of any
witness, who, having been subpoenaed.
fails to attend, or to be sworn or
effirmed or to produce books, vouch-
ers and papers or to answer all proper
questions.
Il. To employ counsel and such cleri-
cal assistance as may be necessary.
"5. To enter any public office and in
person or by counsel or by an assist
ant to examine any and all books.
vouchers and papers within it or under
it's control or in any way relating to
1t, and it is further
Resolved, That 1t shall be the duty
of said committee to report at the ses-
sion of the Senate to be held In 1917
all It's proceedings and all evidenc
taken by 1t, together with It's opinion
and recommendations"
/ Frelinghuysen said every senator who
was in favor of clean government and
opposed to corruption in official places
would, he believed, vote for 1t.
Fielder moved the resolution be re-
ferred.
He resented the innuendoes against
Hudson county contained in the resolu-
ton. If there had been anything wrong
in the conduct of the office OF the late
collector of Hudson County the courts
were eminently capable to taking care
of the matter and to see that justice
was done the people.

ASSEMBLY MAY LAST
THROUGHOUT APRIL.

TRENTON, March 28.-Speaker Kenny
last night reminded the assemblymen
that 1t was customary to adjourn the
Legislature sine die about the middle
of April, which, If adjournment was to
be taken at the usual time, would cave
about three weeks to complete the
work. He suggested h a the members
arrange their personal affairs SO that
they could be in attendance OF Thurs
day of this week.
If the House attempts, however, to
enact into law the program that was
promised in the last campaign and at
the beginning of the session there is
not much chance that adjournment
will be reached much earlier than May
1. The employers liability bills are
yet to be thrashed out in the House.

MANUFACTURER AND WIFE,

ALLENHURST, March 2s.-The po-
lice were notified last night that Will
lam Anderson, a retired manufacturer,
and his wife were beaten, bound and
gagged by three burglars, who robbed
the Anderson residence last Saturday
afternoon.
MT. and Mrs. Anderson were beaten
so severely that they have not yet re-
covered from their injuries. Their resi-
dence was stripped of silver and jewel
ry. and by threatening to kill Mrs.
Anderson the burglars frightened her
into writing a check, which they
cashed later at a clothing store in AS
bury Park. The burglars bound and
gagged their victims after r~ansacking
the house, and it was two hours before
they effected a release from their
bonds.

REPORTS BILL
To REDUCE PRICE
OF ELECTRICITY
Committee FavOrs Making Eight
Cents Per KiI0watt Hour
the Maximum Price.
fFrom a STAFF Correspondent.

TRENTON, March 28.-The Donneliy
bill to make eight cents a kilowatt
hour the highest price that can be
charged for electricity was reported in
the House last night by the committee
on miscellaneous business. The present
maximum charge is ten cents.
Former Senator William D. Ed
wards, of Jersey City; John ]. Bur-
leigh, vice-president of the Public
Service; John L. O'Toole, head of the
Service Corporation publicity de-
partment, and Farley Osgood, the COM
pany's electrical superintendent, were
the chief spokesman against the bill be-
fore the committee hearing. Assembly
man James Christie and Richard Car
rick, the latter representing the Peo-
pies Mutual Light and Power Com
pany of Jersey City, appeared to sup
port the bill. The Peoples Mutual has
a franchise from Jersey City to sup
ply that municipality with electricity
at eight cents a kilowatt hour, to place
Its wires underground and to give the
city 5 per cent. of its gross receipts.
The Public Service is fighting the
franchise grant.
Griffin Bill Opposed.
Representatives of the Bell Teie-
phone Company, the Postal Telegraph
Company and the Public Service ap-
peared before the municipal corpora
tons committee yesterday to oppose
the Griffin bill TO compel public
utility companies to place wires under
ground. Commissioner George Bracken.
OF the Jersey City Street and Water
Board, cited six deaths that had &C.
CURED in Jersey City as a result OF
n victims coming in contact with
dislodgeo wires as an argument for
the bill. John Swayze, counsel for the
telephone company, said that the pro-
posed law would cost the telephone
company 800, 900, 900 In twenty years.
The placing of the wires In conduits,
he said, was inadvisable because of the
danger from cross circuits. He said
thai h cost of the change in outlying
territory would be prohibitive. He
pointed out that the city of Newark
demanded the placing of only one mile
of wire underground each year. His
company had gone much further than
that, however.
Farley Osgood said hal the change
would cost the Pubic Service $35. 000. 900
a year. He said that the overhead con-
struction of wires in the city Of Tren-
ton was valued at 3 5000, but to place
them underground would cost 1000, 900.
