cago if the efforts of Secret Service
operatives to round up the officers and
members of the organization that has
caused nearly forty deaths in one year
in the Italian district. meet with sue
cess.
The black handlers have even gone
so far as to threaten TO kill United
States District Judge Kennesaw Noun
tain Lands. This threat il is learned
is but one of a programme OF threats
and blackmail that has been carried
on in the midst of the governments
department of justice here.
The threats resulted in the recalling
of members of the F. G. Alongi jury.
which disagreed after hearing evidence
in black hand" case a week ago and
the discovery that members of the jury
had been terrorized and that their in
ability to reach verdict probably was
the direct result Of these threats.
The recent threats upon Judge Lam
dis, upon jurors and, yesterday on the
life OF a member Of Assistant Chief of
Police Schuettler's staff are expected
to hasten the scheduled arrests.

GREAT CHANCE FOR GRAFT
1t VIII Take Millions of Dollars to Re-
pair Damage Fire Has Just Done
to New York's Capitol

Albany, n Y, March 30.-Fire-
swept and smoke-strewn, as well as
drenched by water. the magnificent
capitol building of the Empire State
has the appearance of wreck. 1t
may take s10,000.000 TO restore the
mighty s27,oO0,0o0 pile to its former
glory. Several lives are believed to
have been lost
The great capitol building was part
ly swept by flames early yesterday
morning. \ watchman discovered the
flames, which were then in the assem-
bly, library. The flames gained rapid
headway, and by the time the firemen
arrived the interior of the library, in
which was stored away almost price
less volumes and records, was a mass
of flames.
The fire swept along with great
speed and burned the entire west wins e
before the flames could be brought un-
der control Every engine in the city's
fire department was brought into play
and tremendous quantities of water
were thrown on and into the building.
The damage by water will almost equal
that done by the flames.
The two legislative halls were not
destroyed, and the legislators can con-
tinue their sessions.
Several men are missing among
them Samuel Abbott, night library
watchman, who, it is believed, was
burned to death. His body is believed
to be buried beneath the debris.
1t is believed the fire started by a
fused electric push button becoming
electrified. The firemen had many
narrow escapes. Some were trapped by
the flames in the corridors, but got
safely out.

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This should Convince
Any Ocala Citizen

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better. none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies 10 his fellow citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do So
Telling ones experience when il is for
the public good is an act OF kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Ocala adds one more to the many
cases of home endorsement which are
being published about Doan's Kidney
