existence, of Black Hand society by
dence against the band.

charge of defrauding a bank out of Ss)j
detectives said to have found evil
dence of the existence of the man
higher up" They have under surveillance
a bachelor about forty years. old. who
twenty years ago was a priest in Italy,
but who was accommodated.
This man, 1T is said, became teacher
of foreign languages in Chicago among
society women, and was later sent to the
penitentiary for having in his possession
counterfeit money.
Little Black Hand activity was recorded
here during his imprisonment, but since
he has regained his freedom a number
of bombs have been exploded.
Detectives claim to have learned that
the man is the owner of a macaroni fac
tory here and that he is an official in at
least two local banks, beside owing three
disorderly resorts. 1t is alleged that the
man uses his influence in the bank to
single out those who should contribute
to the Black Hand society. and that the
withdrawal of funds indicates to him that
the demands made by his lieutenants will
be met
Christopher p. Davidson. now in the
penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. is said
to have made a statement that for several
years he was "penman" for the former

SUIT OVER A TAX DEED
VITAL TO REALTY DEALERS
Holder of Certificate of Sale Seeks
to Restrain District Officials
From Action.

Suit was Instituted today in the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia
by Daniel T. Jackson against Cuno' II
Rudolph, John 4. Johnston and Chester
Harding, Commissioners Of the District
of Columbia, and William P. Richards,
District assessor, to restrain the issuing
of a tax deed to valuable real estate on
T street. purchased by Mr. Jackson upon
the faith OF a certificate issued by the
assessor July y, 1912. showing only the
current taxes OF that year TO be due
against the property
The bill AYERS that the plaintiff, rely
ing upon the certificate as being conclu-
for, became the purchaser OF the prop
erty. but thereafter, to his surprise.
learned that it had been sold for 1911
taxes. for which deed may be issued to
the purchase by the Commissioners, to
the great damage of the plaintiff
The case is regarded as of unusual in
terest and Importance to persons dealing
in real estate in the District of Column
bia, because OF the reliance placed upon
these certificates by purchasers and
property holders generally.
The contention of the plaintiff. as set
forth in his bill of complaint, is to the
effect that the failure of the Commits
sioners to report the tax sale on the GER
mficate constitutes bar to the collection
and recovery of the tax from any sub
sequent purchaser, who has relied upon
the certificate.
The bill prays that the Commissioners
may be enjoined from issuing a deed to
the property, pursuant to the sale, and
also that the land may be discharged
from the operation and effect OF any lien
by reason of the tax sale. which, through
alleged error of the assessors Office, did
not appear upon the tax certificate.
E. Hilton Jackson appears as attorney
for plaintiff.
