Agent Of Steel Probers viii Meet

Agent OF Steel Probers Will Meet
Him on Return From Europe.
Washington, Aug. l2.-When j
Pierpont Morgan arrives at quaran
tine on the huge steamship Olympic
which Is due in New York on Wednes
day next, he will be welcomed By
members of his family.
Among those who will have a per.
sonal interest in him will be prob.
ably a suave gentleman who will hand
the big fiEancier a subpoena request
ing his attendance at a meeting OF
the Stanley investigating committee
Although 1t is clearly understood
that Mr.. Morgan is perfectly willing
though not anxious, to tell the com
mitee all he knows about the forma-
ton OF the United States Steel cor.
poration, the Tennessee Coal and Iron
deal, the profits of the Morgan firm.
the part which Mr.. Morgan, George
w. Perkins and others actually played
in the increase and issuance of stocks
and bonds and incidentally the pay
ment OF personal and corporate cam
patgn contributions, Mr.. Morgan pos
sesses intimate knowledge of all these
matters, and some members of the
committee believe that he will not,
even in these days of exciting hunts
for big game, ask for an immunity
bath.
On several occasions Mr. Morgan
has been summoned before congress
and other investigations and at no
time has he evinced a lack OF can
dor or given the impression that there
was any mental reservation which he
was determined his inquisitors should
not fathom. Even on details, some
times complex and irritating, he has
exhibited a readiness to tell all he
knows, and as q rule has spoken with
unerring accuracy. Some of the mem
bers of the Stanley committee do not
know Mr.. Morgan, and it is probable
they have not seen him. They do not,
of course, doubt his reported willing
ness to appear before them. but il
would seem that they desire to adopt
the usual course of subpoena service.
So far as can be learned here. none
of the other members of the Morgan
firm has been subpoenaed. Much
will depend upon Mr. Morgan's tes-
timony as to whether they will be.

bers of Black Hand.


bers of Black Hand.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Angelo Mareno,
a boy, kidnapped by Black Hand
blackmailers last Saturday, was found
by the police within few blocks Of
his fathers home.
Nine men and three women were

Cudroma, Joseph Nicolosi and his
wife, Carmelo Nicolosi and his wife,
Peter Nota, Tony Nota, Joseph Tad
dio, Joseph Gina, Ignatz Colura. Tony
Canzi and Charles Cairra.
Mrs. Joseph Nicolosi, says Inspec-
tor Revere, was the go-between who
obtained the $500 from Mareno. She
first went to Mareno, telling him that
she could get the money to the kid
nappers.
Until that time Mareno had been
unable to communicate with the black
mailers, for in the three letters which
was designated, the only instructions
being to make for "a friend"
Acting under Revere's instructions,
Mareno paid Mrs. Nicolosi $500. after
the father of the missing boy declared
he could not obtain the $4,000 ransom
at first demanded by the kidnappers.
Revere had the bills marked before
they were given to Mrs. Nicolosi.
The Nicholosis have been suspected
by the police in previous blackmail-
ing plots in the north side Italian
colony. Gianni Alongi, recently con-
victed in the federal court on
charges of Matchmaking Chicago Ital-
ians by means of Black Hand threats,
made his headquarters in the Nicolosi
saloon
