ITALIANS REBEL
 AGAINST CRIME

Chicago, April 1.-With the confession of one "back hand' man and the an- nouncement of another threat against James E. Stewart, a postoffice inspector, and spurred on by the long list of sre- cent black hand crimes, +he Italian peo- pie themselves threaten to put a stop 10 the lawlessness. Reflections of the many Chicago Italians are seen in an article which appeared today in L'Italia, an Italian newspaper. The article says:
 ''An epoch of blood, of cruel slaughter ing, of ferocious vendettas is what the Chicago Italian colony is going through just now. Until a short time ago crimes committed were in almost all cases due to passion.
 Naturally frequent and atrocious crimes seriously are impressing the American people as we'll as the people of other nations in our disfavor and they are liable at any time to lose patience and resort to acts of violence. The mas sacres at New Orleans and Tampa ars not forgotten in Chicago.
 'It is necessary that the Italians them selves for their own self respect and for their own protection organize themselves to liberate the colony here from the criminals staining it's name.'
 The arm of the black hand which has not hesitated to go into the United States courts in efforts to silence it's victims by fear, today went past the courts to the federal prosecutor himself. Disdainng the caution attached to unsigned let ters the telephone was used and threat of death made to the prosecutor of a white slave case. Assistant United States Attorney Alfred Hulburt, who has assisted in prosecuting Mrs. Santina Pig "a on charges of turing an 1S-year-oid girl to America from Italy, was called to the telephone today and e voice in brok- en English threatened:
 When the case is called tomorrow, you are to quit it, see? If you don't you will receive a stilletto in the ribs. We have spoken"
