ITALIAN PURSUED BY BLACK
HAND TO LEAVE DETROIT
Anthony Gentle Insists He Isn't
Afraid, But He's Going to
Get Out.

Anthony Gentle, fruit merchant, at
No. 347 Champlain-st.. Is going away.
He has a preference for travelling
away from Detroit in some horizontal
direction, rather than to leave by a
trip skyward, with Black Hand bomb
furnishing the motive power. He saw
what large hole bomb will tear In
the side of ones house, about two
weeks ago, and while he will not ad-
NIT that he Is in the least afraid or
the so-called Black Hand, he is pre-
pairing to leave for parts unknown.
rive got no money to pay TO these
here people that bother me-" says
Tony. Yes, I'm going away"
why don't you insist on getting
police protection, instead OF letting
the Black Hand drive you outg" he
was asked.
Gentle smiled a sad, knowing
smile, and remarked, Police protec'
ton? Bah!
But he insisted that he was not go
ing because he Is afraid.
I'm just going to some other place
where, maybe, can do better ne
says. ,
But he would not tell where he Is
going to move to.

Secretary Meyer.
BIG FLEET TO ASSEMBLE.
Hasty Mobilization Will Show
Preparedness In Case of An
Emergency.
BIG FLEET TO ASSEMBLE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9.-The mean
ing OF the greatest naval mobilization
in the history Of America was set
forth today by the secretary Of the
navy In the following article written
for the United Press:
BY GEORGE Won L. MEYER.
(copyrI9ht, 1911, by United Press
Assoeiatlon.)
On Oct. 81 and Nov. l there will be
modified In New York harbor for
inspection and review the most power
full aggregation OF fighting ships ever
assembled under the American flag.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus will have un-
der his immediate command one hun
dred and two warships. from dread
naughts to tiny submarines. At the
same time the entire strength OF the
Pacific feet will be assembled under
the command of Rear Admiral Thorn
as, at Los Angeles.
The purpose of this mobilization,
almost unprecedent In American naval
history, Is two-fold. Primarily II Is to
show the preparedness of the feet;
and the defects, If any, in personnel
and material
l have sought to impress upon the
country that the feet is the navy and
the navy the feet; all else Is auxiliary.
Therefore. 1t is my purpose to do all
l can to develop the feet as a highly
organized, self-sustaining, efficient
potential sea-fighting power.
The mobilization was ordered on
comparatively short notice-less than
80 days. The ships were scattered,
after a year Of hard work, many of
them undergoing repairs. Making all
the ships ready for the great assem-
bly, will be a splendid test Of the abil-
ity OF the feet and Of the organization
in answer to the requirements which
would be imposed upon them in case
Of a sudden emergency.
Secondarily, the mobilization Is for
the benefit OF the nation. want to
bring the navy closer to the people;
want as many citizens as possible to
gee the feet assembled In its greatest
strength, The people pay for the navy
cheerfully. think they will be even
more willing to concede its value
when they see what potential factor
as a fighting machine as we'll as. a
factor for peace-making II is.
At New York for the first time the
feet will be seen as composite
whole. And Ii is upon the strength
of the feet as a composite organiZa-
ton, rather than upon the excellence
OF any one group Of vessels that our
sea power depends. To develop that
organized strength to its highest eff
cheney is the great purpose OF the
mobilization and it Is due to the ma
ton that it be shown what the navy
really Is.

STEEL TRUST GIVES UP
NORTHERN ORE LEASES

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE United
States Steel corporation will cancel
its lease for the Great Northern ore
properties, one of the largest leases
OF the kind which the corporation
holds. The rumor, current In wall
street yesterday, was confirmed atler
business hours from official sources,
which declined to be quoted.
When the lease will be terminated
is undetermined. The contract stipu-
lates that II should continue until all
the ore is exhausted, unless on Jan.
is. 1915. the lease should be abro-
gated under the option reserved by
the lessee, and In case the lessee SO
determined, two years notice should
be given.
The Great Northern properties are
estimated 10 include deposits or 3OO,-
600 900 tons OF iron ore. Officials OF
the steel corporation refused to state
the reasons for the cancellation OF
the big lease.
No figures are available as to how
much ore has been mined since the
opening of the Great Northern prop
critics. The lease provides that the
corporation mine 100000 tons more
each successive year, and that the
specified amount of ore must be paid
for whether Il is mined or not, I'm
der this provision the corporation
would be required to mine 3,750,000
tons during the present year or at
least pay for that amount, which
would mean 1887 500.
