THIRTY INJURED
BY BLACK HAND
EXPLOSION
Fiends Dropped Dynamite Bomb
Into Cellar Window
TENEMENT WAS WRECKED
Society's Revenge Because Occupants
Would Not Give UP Black
mail Money

New York, March 3.-With roar
which brought the population Of sixty
tenements to their feet and sent
them scurrying in their bare feet to
the streets, a dynamite bomb explod-
ed early yesterday in the heart OF
the East Side Italian colony, blowing
off the greater part of the front of a
five-story tenement at 307 East For
ty-ffth street and breaking every
window for a radius Of three blocks.
Thirty persons were injured by fall
ing debris or cut by broken glass.
On the ground floor of the building
is a grocery store and a barber shop.
The grocer and the barber live in the
rear and both are accounted well-to-
do by their neighbors. Both have re
ceived demands for money sgined in
the usual manner and accompanied
during the last month by threats OF
death. The letters became so terri
flying lately that the grocer has spent
the nights in chair near the door
way of his store, with a loaded shot
gun across his knees.
He failed to see his visitors of yes
terday, however, when they passed
his store in the early morning anC
dropped a burlapcovered dynamite
bomb quietly through the grating be
meath his store windows. He sus
pected nothing until the explosion
tore away the front of the store
threw him from his chair into the Gel
lar and wrecked the barber shop ad
joining.
The policeman who was standing a
a corner a block and a half away wa
thrown down by the conclusion. III
quickly regained his feet and sent il
a call for the reserves. When the
reached the scene they found frae
ments of the burlap wrapping of tn
bomb and the tin scrap which ha
held the explosive. There was an el
iplosion in the hall of the same builC
ing three months ago.

R. Il. Morris, who for six years has
been the Chief of Police here, was ar

He admitted that he is Edgar Strib-
ling of Harris County, Ca, sentenced
to life term in prison for numbering
William Cornett, and that he escaped
through the aid of friends and jail
or who was bribed. Stribling said
that he and his brother-in-law were
forced to shoot Cornett because he
had attacked Stribling's sister, and he
expressed the utmost confidence that
he would soon be free again.
Morris was elected Chief OF Police
for three terms of two years each by
the Prohibitionists, and he would
without doubt have been reelected
today but for his arrest and the dis
closures of his past. A crowd block

HOST COOKED HIS FEET
Rutland Man Tells Astonishing Story
Of Cruelty.

Rutland, March 3.-If the story OF
George Sumner of this city is to be
relied on, he has been the victim of
an atrocious act of cruelty. For
fiendishness II is unparalleled in this
community.
The mans story runs like this.
In company with Oscar Potter, who
resides not far from this city, he
went on January II to look at some
cattle. Afterwards he accompanied
Potter to his house, which he oc-
.cupies alone. The house was cold
and fire was started in the stove.
The Rutland man lay down on
couch and went to sleep and was
awakened by flames which envelop-
ed his feet. II was with difficulty
the fire was put out.
The victim alleges that his com
panion poured kerosene over his
feet and deliberately set fire to It..
His feet were terribly burned and he
states that he was kept practically q
prisoner, due to his injuries, in the
house until about a week ago when
he made his escape. He states that
whenever anyone came to the house
the owner OF II secreted him II
was only with the utmost difficulty
in his manned condition, after weeks
OF confinement, that he escaped.
The victim. according to his story,
has consulted an attorney who ad-
vises him that on account of his own
REPUTATION and the circumstances sur
rounding the alleged case that he
must have further evidence that the
crime was committed or that his case
was hopeless. Both Of the men i'm
pllcated are we'll known as hard
drinkers and were undoubtedly more
or less intoxicated at the time the in
cldent happened The man charged
with the offense has for years borne
an unsayory reputation.
The victim is living In hopes thai
he may secure corroboratiye evidence
OF the truth OF his story so that pros
ecution may be instituted. The vic
tim has feet that give every evidence
of being frightfully burned.

$4,000 HAVE DIED
Of PLAGUE AND
FAMINE IN CHINA
Present Death Rate Is 200
Each Day.
MILLION WILL PERISH
People Have No Strength to TIL
soll-suppIes and Funds
Lacking

Pekin, March Examine and the
plague are sweeping over China. The
known deaths from the plague num-
Der 10000 and, according to the Of
fetal statistics, the death rate aver
ages 200 daily. But the officials have
little knowledge Of the conditions In
the interior, or, II they have. they are
not permitting the facts to become
known. There are few or no foreign
ers in the interior, and conditions
there, for this reason, are not attrac-
ting much public attention.
1t is impossible even to estimate
the number of deaths that have re-
suited from lack of food. DR.. Samuel
Cochran, an American who is engag-
ed in the work of relief, writes: "One
million people will die before the first
crop is harvested. This will be scant
because the people have not the
strength to till the soil, and no ami
mails remain for ploughing."
The Chinese are directing their eff
forts to control the plague chiefly
along the railways and frontiers for
political reasons The local author
tiles, including the police and sold
iers, in former epldemics left the peo-
pie free to die. Now they do not
care OF do not know how to maintain
adequate sanitary measures. Both
supplies and funds are lacking. jap
anese and Russians have both offered
assistance, but only in a fcw places
have these offers been accepted, the
Chinese not liking to receive favors
from foreigners, whose political mo-
Itives they distrust.

PRINCESS KILLED.
BY ITALIAN
OFFICER
Beautiful Lady in Waiting to
Queen Helena
MURDERER SHOOTS HIMSELF
Intrigue Discovered Through Attempt
to 6lackmai Woman BY Means
of Bank Check
MURDERER SHOOTS HIMSELF

Rome, March 3.-The Princess dl
Trigona, lady in waiting to Queen
Helena, wife of Prince di Trigona and
niece of the Marquis di San Giuliano,
the Foreign Minister, was murdered
yesterday afternoon by Lieut.. Baron
Palermo, a cavalry officer who was al
so a member of the Quirinal Court
circle.
After killing the Princess, Palermo
shot himself, but, it is believed, not
MORALLY.
This, the last act of romance that
began few months ago, took place
in room Of third-rate hotel here.
The Lieutenant was found lying on
the floor, badly wounded by a bullet
in the mouth. The Princess-one Of
the most beautiful members of a
Court famous for the loveliness Of its
women-was lying on the bed, dead
A poniard had cut open her throat
and there were several bullet wounds
in her body.
Both Palermo and the Princess
came of noble Sicilian families. There
are various reports as to what led
up to the tragedy, but the best authen
ticated is to the effect that 1t was
brought about by the Kings decision
that the Princess must resign her
Court appointment, owing to the scan
dal lately attached to her name. The
Queen, however was very fond OF
the Princess and seems TO have per.
suaded her TO break with Palermo and
seek a reconciliation with her hus
band, from whom she had amicably
separated a short time ago. With
this object the Princess had consent
ed to meet Palermo for a last inter
view.

The shooting occurred Tuesday
Two men were seen by several per-

and later it was found that a passage
way had been cut through the II foot

ton and the sled had been driven In
to the reservation where there was a
herd of several elk consisting of
about six females and two bucks.
The bucks were fired upon and both
were wounded
Neither fell, however but both es.
capped into the woods bleeding pro
fusely from their wounds. Unsuc.
cessful in their efforts to bag either
of the big animals the two hunters
drove back down the mountain. La

animals and an investigation follow

city and Sargood of Lee were called
