ARRESTED
LEADER OF
BLACK HAND

New York, Sept. 5.-Giuseppe
Costable, whom the police credit with
being the master mind behind the
black hand band of criminals, was
arrested here today as he was walk
ing through the East Side, carrying a
bomb concealed beneath his coat.
Costables, called the most cunning
criminal in New York by Lieutenant
Petrosino the Italian police detec-
tive, who lost his life in attempting
to run down alleged members of the
black hand and cammorist societies,
is declared to have directed 16 out
RACES in the tenement district dur
ing the last month, and to have fig
ured largely in several recent kidnap-
ing cases.
The police declare he has not
worked for six years, and, although
without visible means of support, has
kept up an elaborately furnished fiat
and lavished money on his wife and
two children.
Costable has been under surveil-
lance for five years, but today was
the first time the police have secured
evidence enough to warrant an ar
rest.

CHAFFEUR'S
BODY FOUND
SEWED IN SACK

Chicago, Sept. circumstances
surrounding the mysterious death of
Frederick Wennerstrom, the chauf-
feur, whose body was found in the
Fox river, near Cary, ILL.,, yesterday
resemble in many respects the mur-
der of William Bate, chauffeur, near
here, in November, 1904.
Wennerstrom's body was sewn in
an improvised sack, and it is be-
lieved the crime was committed We'd
nesday night.
Wennerstroms car is missing. A
brother of the chauffeur mentioned
to him last Monday an offer made by
grain dealer of $500 a month to
drive him about the surrounding
country to purchase grain.
Wennerstrom left the garage here
at 2 p. m. Wednesday, saying he was
going out north, and would be back
soon. At p. m. telephone mes
sage purporting to be from Wenner-
strom was received by Charles H.
Barnikow.
Tell my wife that am going to
CRYSTAL Lake with a party, and for
her to look for me when l get back, y
said the voice over the wire.
Barnikow now believes that the tel
ephone message was not from Wen
nerstrom.

palnnse Wheat Is Short.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 5.-The
large wheat yield anticipated by
farmers and millers in Washington
is not materializing as we'll as ex-
pected, according to H. c. Stivers,
chief deputy grain inspector. He said
Yesterday that the crop would not De
as heavy as every one at first be-
lieved. The reason given by MT.
Stivers for the over estimate IS the
failure of heads of grain to fill out
entirely.
The Palouse country, especially,
he says, has found that the expecta-
tions of agriculturists had fallen
short. The hot weather, he says, has
had little. if anything to do with the
result. However, in spite of Mr..
Stiver's rather gloomy forecast the
season has started off with a rush.
The daily grain receipts at this port
have been unusually high for this
stage, several days running as high
os rs cars. In this total, wheat mas
been by far the largest item.

WILL HAVE TO MAKE
TREATY WITH PRISONER

Oroville, Cal, Sept. 5.-The United
States government will have to make
a treaty with a Nogi Indian cap
tured here a few days ago, according
to Professor Waterman, of the state
university Before this Indian can
be taken in charge and disposed of
by the government, President Taft
and his cabinet will have to agree
with him upon the terms under which
his future life will be governed, and
the United States senate will have to
ratify the treaty.
The United States had no treaty
with the warlike Nogis before their
supposed determination by white set
tiers several decades ago. With all
other tribes the government has
treaties.
This lone survivor of the famous
Nogis will have to be dealt with le-
gally, as there is no intention to al
low him to run wild among the rocks
and brush of the foothills and noun
tains.
The Indian was this afternoon TAX
en- to Berkeley by Professor Water
man for further study. They went
on a train and it was the first time
the Indian had taken such a ride.

LOSE
LIVES IN A
HOTEL FIRE

Juneau, Alaska, Sept. 5.-Seven
lives lost, IA persons injured, two of
whom are not expected to live, and
the Juneau Hotel and the McGrath
building in ashes are the result of a
fire which started in the hotel late
Sunday night, and was subdued only
after the Douglas fire department had
sent men and engines to assist the To-
cal fire fighters. six bodies have
been recovered from the ruins, and
five more are believed to be buried in
the debris.
The known dead are:
Will Morrison, day clerk, former
ly of Portland, Ore.
Walter Davenport, painter of Ia
coma, Wash.
Selma Bowling, a native girl.
The bodies of Morrison and Dav-
port, two unidentified men and two
unidentified women have been re-
covered.
OF the IA persons in the hospital,
William Southwick, Of Michigan, and
Boyd Miles, of Montana, are believed
to be injured fatally.
Will Morrison, who was a native
of Wisconsin, and who came to Ju-
neau from Portland, was killed when
he jumped from the third-story win
dow. Selma Bowling, who is known
to have perished, was reputed to be
the most beautiful half-breed maiden
in Alaska. She was recently acquit-
ted of a charge of numbering her
mother.
The hotel and the McGrath build
ing were owned by j. j. McGrath
but the hotel was leased to Paul Vim
cent. The loss is estimated at $780,
900, with no insurance.
The hotel, a large three-story
structure, was crowded, and the en-
tire building was ablaze before the
alarm was given. The flames spread
rapidly and soon destroyed the Nc.
Grath building, which adjoined the
hotel.
