Four-Year-oId Boy Constantly Trying
to End Life.
New York, March 29.-The Kings
county hospital in Brooklyn has an
unusual patient in youthful Ellsworth
Mcdonald, who, although only four
years old, is afflicted with a suicide
mania of pronounced type. The child
is apparently normal in other respects.
Almost since birth, the parents say,
the youngster has been obsessed with
a constantly recurrent craving for
self-destruction. The child has driven
sharp knives into his body, attempted
to toss himself into bonfires, swal-
lowed poison, pounded his head on the
stone pavement and even starved him
self for days.
The lad has thrived, despite his
many suicidal pranks, but his mother
is almost a nervous wreck because Of
the alarming experiences she has un-
dergone.

SECRET SERVICE
MEN GET BUSY
Hope to Wipe Out Black Hand
Gang at Chicago

Chicago, March 29.-United States
secret service operatives are about to
explode a BLACK Hand" bomb that is
expected finally to bring to justice
officers and members of the body that
in a little more than n year has
claimed nearly forty lives and caused
a reign of terror in the Italian district.
The threat on the life of Judge K.
M. Lands of the United States dis
trict court, it is learned, was but one
feature of a program of threats and
blackmail that has been carried tnto
the midst Of the governments depart
ment of justice in Chicago.
The threats resulted in the recall
ing of members of the F. G.. Alongi
jury, which disagreed after hearing
evidence in a "Black Hand" case a
week ago., and the discovery that
members of the Jury had been terror
lied and that their inability to reach
a verdict probably was the direct re-
suit of these threats.
The recent threats on Judge Lands,
on jurors and on the life of a member
of Assistant Chief of Police Schuett-
ler's staff are expected to hasten the
scheduled arrests.
1t, is known that numerous Italian
secret service men, imported from
New York in order to prevent them
from being marked by the organiza-
ton which is being investigated, are
seeking evidence.

UNITED LABOR
PLANS PROTEST
Mortified at Loss Of Life in
New York, Blaze.
TO PARADE At FUNERAL

Thousands Will Follow Bodies Of Un
identified Dead to Their Last Rest
ing Place and Then Attend a Big
Mass Meeting Where Demands Will
Be Made on Public Officials to Make
City Factories Safe.
New York, March 29.-United union
labor, Mortified by the realization that
most of the lives lost in the Triangle
waist factory might have been saved
had the existing laws been lived up
to, is arranging a mighty demonstra-
ton of protest.
What will amount to a general sus-
pension of work is planned when the
bodies of the unidentified are buried.
AS many union men and women as
can do so will follow the hearses on
foot as a protest against the lax en-
forcement of the labor law. The
Trades Union league has taken charge
of the arrangements.
Following funerals a big meet
ing will be held at which demands will
be made that the authorities make
the factories of the city safe. The
unions will also arrange for the prepa-
ration of "a comprehensive report
showing just what conditions exist in
every factory building in the city.
Reform Will Be Demanded.
One copy of this report will be re-
tanned by the unions, one will be filed
with Mayor Gaynor and one sent to
the state commissioner of labor with a
demand that all conditions complained
of will be remedied.
That some of the exit doors of the
Triangle factory were locked when
the fire started seemed certain despite
the denials of the members of the firm.
Coroner Holtzhauser has a score Of
witnesses whom he will call when the
inquest is started who will testify to
this. In addition, Chief Croker says
his men could not get into the work
shop on thc ninth and tenth floors I'M
til after they had chopped. down the
doors.
There are still twenty-eight unidenti-
fled bodies in the morgue and it Is I'M
likely more than one or two of these
will be identified. These bodies are
merely black, charred masses, with
perhaps only a buttoned shoe or
piece of cloth skirt clinging to them.
