YORK POLICE
CLAIM ARREST Of
BLACK GANG
GIUSEPPE Castabile Said to Be
Leader of Bomb Throw
ing Gang.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Wfth a dap
per young italian, believed to be one
of the country's master criminals, IN
their hands, the police today spread
their nets for the gang of bomb-throW-
ers, blackmailers and k%idnappers that
have ~terrorized the italian settlement
here for the past four years Giuseppl
Castabile, who was arrested yesterday
with a dynamite bomb under his coat,
will be arraigned today under the new
law which makes the mere possession
of a deadly weapon a felony, but the
police hope to prove against him far
more serious crimes.
"In many ways Castabile is the most
important prisoner we have ever en-
tertained," said Police Inspector
Hughes.
There have been seventeen bomb
explosions in the Italian quarter in the
past month; how many of these Cas-
table, who was known as Thu Fox
and his subordinates are responsible
for I don't know. but we hope to fas-
ten enough on him to remove him from
the scene of operations for some time"
The detention of Castabile in $10,O 900
bail has proved the value of the new
deadly weapon law. and for the
mere possession of a bomb 1.-THE Fox
may be sent to prison for seven years.
This law was passed particularly to
assist the police against elusive Ital-
ian criminals, whom 1t is difficult to
because their victims are
afraid to testify against them.

CANTON, China.

Dear Bill:
We have been to the execution grounds
to see a decapitation bee. The day be-
fore we arrived they had a big cele-
bration, when eighty revolutionists lost
their heads.
Canton has an atmosphere about it
the vilest imaginable. The streets are
dity and the doors are many and COM
plex. We walked through the jade and
silk shops and it was hard to get by
in spite of disagreeable thoughts about
the 60 per cent. duty that awaits US at
San Francisco.
We passed the feather pin factory,
where kingf1shers are plucked and
their feathers are stamped into hat
pins and belt buckles. Tourists are
also plucked here.
Crowds of natives gathered around
us frequently. but we could easily get
rid Of them by pointing our cameras in
their direction. They're afraid of
having their pictures taken.
1t rained before we reached the exc
cution grounds and we were drenched
and in a proper frame of mind to see
a mar or two b~eheaded. The execution
place was merely an alley. The execu-
toner hurried up when he saw us. He
carried his enormo knife. He said
he was sorry no executions were sched-
uled for that day.
He said he had chopped off 5000
heads in his time, and for a tip he

surmounted almost insuperable difficul-
t4es in obtaining her A. B. degree last
June, Miss Margaret Hogan, the only
