EMIT THE BLACK HAND.

Close surveillance, quick arrest, and, by
arrangement with the district attorney
immediate trial in the event of crime
committed, Was Commissioner Woods
policy in dealing with the Black Hand
No matter how trivial case of eXtorti IN
or blackmail il might be, il was followed
up with all the enregy and resources Of
the police department. The mcorrgible
criminals among the Italians began Ia
discover that what they considered to be
their constitutional rights were not being
respected by the police. Their homes were
searched for stolen property, whether
there was likely To be any stolen property
there or not. at all hours of the day or
night, and protest often resulted IN rough
handling.
Ii became so that Black flanders, Walo
for years had been staggering among
their honest cOTnpatrlots IN the Italian
settlements, could not come into the
streets without being hustled by poliee-
men IN uniform or "plain-clothes men, :
who babe them to pursue themselves
elsewhere In hurry on pain Of arrest for
disorderly conduct, with the peiltci tIary
in view. The result of these incl iti,s"
constantly practiaed upon then was that
hundreds of the Hack Bnudtrs shook
the dust of New York from their feet
within year after Woods became police
commissioner Today the people in the
Italian settlements sleep as TRANQUILITY as

Secondly: Germany must repay the allied nations
