Gassaway Americans Are to
Resort to Black Hand
Methods.
NOTICES ARE POSTED
Work is Done at Night and
There is Fear Property
Will Be Burned.


GAssAWtAY, April 21-(special)
The foreign population OF this
place is panic stricken over the
series of notices which have been
posted over the town during the last
few days notifying them to leave
the community. The BUSINESS peo-
pie are much alarmed over the sit
nation as some of them have been
threatened in anonymous letters FOR
having business dealing with ana
encouraging the foreigners in stay
ing about the town.
The most serious objection ap-
pears to be made to the Italians, and
81 has been to the population of this
nationality that the greater number
of the threatening letters have been
sent.
There is number OF Italians in
business here in the various lines OF
trade and all of them are now
making an effort to dispose of their
business and leave, as they say that
they are inclined to believe that
their property viii be destroyed in
the evnt of their remaining here.
The latest notice posted over the
city reads as follows:
NOMCE.
ITO pr 7erty holders:
ITO vacate all Italians utldings
that are in use now as this is the
last time that this notice will be
published. Now you property hold
ers, If you don't want your
property destroyed you better look
into this matter at the present time.
Now that means YOU
Efforts have been made on the
part of the authorities to ascertain
the identity of the persons making
the war on the foreigners, but it is
claimed that they can not detect the
guilty ones. They have served re
peated notices on the foreigners and
property owners through these type
written notices which are posted
about town at night and by sending
them through the mail direct.
1t is claimed by some that it is
the work of number of American
laborers who have been deprived of
employment by the influx OF for
eigners recently. 1T is also said that
the conduct of many of the for
eigners has been such that many of
the people have become opposed to
their presence IN their midst.
The building of the new railroad
just across the river from this place
has brought a large lumber of the
rough element of foreigners here
and 1T is feared by many that they
will give trouble before their de
parture.

SLOCUM'S CAPTAIN FREED
w. H. Van Schaick Quits Sing
Sing and Reioins Family Here.

Captain William II. Van Schaick. who
was in charge of the General Slocum when
she was burned in the East River few
years ago, with the loss of thousand
lives. was paroed by the United States
government yesterday. and left Sing Sing
prison, returning to his wife and fanny
in Manhattan.
He had served two years and half, was
one of the model convcts. and served as
captain Of the little boat Bristol. which
was used for carrying convicts and pro-
visions back and forth TO Bear Mountain
when that site was being prepared for the
new prison. But Bear Mountain was
abandoned when the new site further up
the river was decided upon, and since then
Van Schaick had been DOING odd Jobs
feeble to do any Of the hard work that
convicts are usually put 10.
The old captains eyesight has been bad
within the last year. and this was another
reason that he had been assigned to the
comparatively light work about the flower
beds and greenhouses.
1t was known that the officials al Wash
ington had been appealed TO TO parole the
old captain. but the arrival of the parole
papers to-day was a surprise. apparently,
to the aged convict. and he was nearly
overcome when the glad news was told
him by Warden Johnson.
He said this afternoon before leaving
the prison that he would go straight 10
Manhattan 10 his wife and family. but he
did not know what he would do after that.

SUE STEUER FOR $4,000
Bakers Charge T. D. Sullivan's
Attorney with Fraud.

Max Weisberg and Jacob Waldman bak-
ers, doing business as Weisberg & VALID
man, have brought a suit for $50, 90 dam
ages against Max d. Steuer. big Tim" Sui
livan's attorney, for alleged fraud and mis-
representation in connection with a con-
tract Weisberg & Waldman entered into
to buy a bakery at No. g. East l09th street
from l.. Seigman
Weisberg e. Waldman bought the bakery
in January, 1910, and agreed to pay Seic-
man 500 a week until February 1915. for
the use Of his name They say in their
affidavit that Seigman got the agreement
from them by fraud and misrepresenta-
ton, and that in April, 1911, they went TO
Steuer and told him they were losing
money on the 800 week payments and
asked him how the contract could be
broken.
He said that he would break the contract
for them for 5000. and they could still
use Seigman's name. They say they paid
Steuer $50 in cash and the remainder OF
the 5000 in notes, and then stopped the
payment to Segman. Whereupon Scigman
came around and said he would take back
the bakery.
They went TO Steuer again. and this
time he told them he could not get the
contract revoked and they would better
settle with Selgman. The next thing was
that Steuer told them he had fixed il so
they could pay Seigman $l,5OO and keep
the business and use his name They
signed some papers at Steuers instigation
and paid Seigman the 81 500. and then found
that they could not use Seigman's name.
They say that Steuer knew all the time
that he could not abrogate the contract
and knew when he had them sign the sec
ond contract with Seigman that they were
not TO be allowed TO use Seigman's name
and they ask for $4,000 damages
Justice Delany yesterday ordered Wes-
berg and Waldman to give Steuer a full
and complete statement OF the alleged fraud
by which Seigman got the first con-
tract for $50 a week for the use OF his
name. Steuer admits the conferences with
Weisberg and Waldman, but he says that
the contracts were written agreements and
speak for then selves. and he makes a
general denial OF all the other allegations
Of the plaintiffs.

JEWEL GOES A-F0RAGING
Elephant Leaves Stall in Park
Zoo" and Steals Oats.

Jewel, one of the elephants in the Central
Park menagerie, made a raid on the COM
missary house Yesterday and consumed
nearly a whole sack of oats before being
apprehended. To get TO the oats Jewel had
TO tear loose heavy wooden beam that
locks her In her stall
A park employe had hardly driven away
from the commissary house. which is imme-
diately back OF the elephant house, when
Jewel ripped off the wooden beam and
strobe over to the door of the granary. IT
was closed, but she leaned her head against
It, There was a snap, and the next mo-
ment her trunk was rummaging about for
anything In reach.
In this same house are quartered two
bulldogs, the property OF keepers IN the
menag erie. They set up a terrific barking,
and Jewel for a second was awed by them.
Her snortlngs, however. frightened them
off, and in a fifty she had a sack of oats
In the grip OF her trunk and was on the
way back 10 her stall with it, One or two
persons standing on a pathway outside the
elephant house rushed for a keeper.
When Jewel dropped the sack Of oats on
the floor of her stall 1t burst. She lost no
time wading into it.
Then the keepers came on the run, with
"Bill" Snyder. the head keeper, and Robert
Hurton. keeper OF the elephant house. IN
the van. Jewel surveyed them for a mo-
ment, and then thrashed around with her
trunk so nfenacingly that the attendants
were kept at bay.
Hurton managed to get her away from
the sack finally, but there was very little
left in it, Some of the feed was scattered
about the floor, but Jewel had eaten most
OF the sackful. The bar to her stall was
later fastened Down with heavy wire TO
prevent a second foraging trip.
