GREEKS EXTORT
FROM WEALTHY men
Another Black Hand Society
is Uncovered

New York, Feb. 21.-Following three
abortive bomb throwings charged to
unknown members Of the Black Hand,
a new secret society of similar n1-
ture among the Greeks, is believed by
the police to have been disclosed to-
day by the arrest of Nicolas Tritakis
He is alleged to be a leader In an or
ganization calling itself THE Hand )f
Faith" for the alleged purpose of eX-
torting money from wealthy Greeks
Tritakis, who is a young Greek la
borer, was seized by detectives in an
elevated railway station on a charge
of having written threatening letters
to the proprietors of the Hotel Athens,
demanding $4,000.
Our rules try to avoid bloodshad, %
one letter read.
"F'rom the day we started he have
only lost one That happened only o
insure our safety. If you deny oar
Gcmsrds, we will not touch your per-
sen, relatives of friends or family,
like the Black Hand, but will blow
voar big hotel in the air."
A second letter directed that the sum
be delivered in gold at a specified
q" station today. Detectives found
Tritakis sitting on the platform and
arrested him The police say the
Greeks handwriting corresponds will
that of the Hand of Faith letter.

L'FOLLETTE KEEPS
HIS MOUTH Shut
Insurgents Expect Taft to Be
Defeated in 1912

Washington, February 21.-What
means the silence of La Toilette? This
qgestiol is being asked on both sides
of the capitol by admirers, as we'll
as enemies, of the Wisconsin states
man. The answer of his friends is
"Vait."
The victory won by LIE Toilette in his
state last fall, when he beat the tre-
mendous interests opposing him by
lnearly a 4-to-1 vote, convinced most
observers that in the present short
session of congress this pioneer Of
insurgency would come strongly to the
front and assume the leadership 1f
the Insurgent element in the SEN
ate.
Recently it has been realized that
La Toilette, since congress reconvened
in December, has uttered no word IN
the senate. Not only has he made no
speech, but he has taken part in 10
debate. For a while he was in Wis
consin when the legislature met and
ratified the will of the people electing
him For the rest of the time he has
sat in his seat and listened and said
no word. With the Lorimer battle rag
ing and the fight for direct election of
United States senators becoming bit
terer every day, he has taken no open
part in the senate, although everyoneI
knows that he is as vehemently against
Lorimer as he is in favor of the other
proposition.
In his magazine, however, Senator
La Toilette has not failed to express
himself upon both these vital questions
and since December has done all oil
his talking through that medium. NlrI
has he been idle in Washington. ItI
developed the other day that it was at
his house here the National Progress
sive Republican League was formed
and launched. Last week La Toilette /
in an open letter to the president prac-
tically accused Mr.. Taft of evading
the self-assumed responsibility for
the disposition of the Cunningham land
claims, about which the Ballinger-Pin-
chot controversy walked. 1t is under
stood that in the senate, when the bills
to throw the Cunningham claims into
the courts comes up, La Toilette VIII
make a speech, and it will be a red
hot one.
La Follettes triumph in Wisconsin
has greatly increased his senatorial
prestige. He has become a national
figure, and keen political observers ex-
pect to see him an avowed presidential
candidate in 1916. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the Insurgent leaders here
have tacitly agreed among themselves
to make no fight for the nomination of
a candidate in 1912. They believe TAFT
VIII be named for reelection and
none Of them believe he can win. The
defeat Of Taft will, it is argued, crush |
the reactionary element in the parry
out of existence and at the end OF four
years Of democratic control the coun-
try will be ready to swing toward in
republicanism. it will be time
enough then, it is argued to pick It
presidential candidate and get behind
him. For the next campaign, how
ever, the fight of the National Progress
sive Republican League will be for the
principles laid down in its platform.
and not for a candidate.
