 The American headquarters of the blackmailing organization has been shifted from New York to San Fran cisco, according to reports said to have been made to the department of justice by operatives who have been working here since last September, when Tony DeFrance of Chicago and Joseph Vetrano of New York were arrested in San Jose.
 Agents of the department of jus- tice are said to have told the grand jury yesterday of six murders in ad- dition to that of Petrosini and numer- ous dynamite and bomb outrages, re- sponsibility for which has been traced to the organization. Responsibility for Petrosinis death was charged to the Camorra of Italy, mem bers of which are alleged to be identified with the group under investigation.

 ARE DISAPPOINTED HighlanderS of Hartford Fail to Make Appearance
 DEATHS CLAIMS JOHN BUNK
Resident of Six Months Victim of
 Liver 1'rouble-Kensin Barber |, Is F1fty-five Today-Minstrel Show r Tonight.

A large numb of basketball fans gathered at the town hall last night to see a contest between the Worthing- ton Athletic club and the Highlanders of Hartford and were disappointed when the visiting clubs failed to put in an appearance. Manager Lewis A Burdick of the local team is exceeding My wroth over the actions of the visi- @tors for during the day he received a postal from the Hartford manager saying his team would arrive here about ' o'clock. Manager Burdick waited for the trolley and when the Highlanders did not come on that car lsl3e naturally thought they had missed the car and would arrive later. \ The preliminary game between the FWorthington Juniors, and the Acorns fof. sKensington was put on as sched- tuled at 7:30 o'clock and it was hum mer. Roth teams fought hard for vic tory, the lead constantly changing un- til with only two minutes to play, Grisward shot a difficult basket from the side of The court and gave his team the victory by score Of 16 50 1 5. The game was a, smashing affair and tumbles and spills were frequent. Cfrisward played stellar game for the Kensington team, while Roche shone conspicuously for the Juniors. The summary follows.

Aa The Worthington Juniors were dis satisfied at the result and their man. sager immediately made overtures for q return game and it is probable the teams will meet again insthe near fu- tyre.
 After the preliminary game was fin- fshed and the Hartford five had failed to put in an appearance, rather than dfssappoint the fans the regulars ulayed a picked team. The team worked hard but was no match for tn e fast. going Worthingtons, and the off, cfal scorer became tired of crediting baskets to the latter and threw his sheet away.

POWERFUL DRAMA
OF LIFE
VITACRAPH BLUE RIBBON FEATURE
IN FIVE TENSE PARTS
Story Meets Every Requirement of Standard Set
By Heads of Company

When the Vitagraph Company be-
gan the production Of their Blue Rib
bon Features, they set a standard for
the stories to be filmed, that called
for originality, interest. action and
pictorial, scenic and costume accuracy
each story to be enacted by a picked
cast of Vitagraph players. In addi-
ton, each picture must contain a ser
les of punches that eliminate In tre-
mendous climax. In The Turn of the
Road" a powerful drama Of life by
Isabel NJ. Johnston, they found story
that fully met all these requirements
and in its production, Director Tefft
Johnson has succeeded in transferring
to the screen the authors conception
of the story's possibilities. Opening
with scenes in the home of a happy
couple, John King and Helen, his
wife, the action takes a quick step
forward when an old school chum of
Mrs. Kings, Marcia Wilbur, comes to
live with them. Marcia is a born CO.
quette. and flirts with every male with
whom she comes in contact. John
King becomes interested in her, and
with automobile rides and visits to
the open, while his wife is at home
with their son, interest changes to
then infatuation. One
night while John and Marcia are left
to keep house, he gives way to his
passion. Marcia, exerting all her
wiles, leads him on until, blind to ev-
erything else, he plans an elopement,
leaving a note for his wife, telling her
