Seven Arrested
In New York City
In Calnorra Plot
Details of Wholesale Murder
Plots Revealed by Arrest
OF Seven Men in
New York.

New York, Aug. l7.-Seven ltal-
ians were arrested today in New
York City and one in New Jersey.
after the first OF the prisoners nag
confessed that 10 of more than ~
recent murders had been planned
and committed by the gang during
the last four years.
Orders for the murders came:
from the Camorra in Italy. Nine OF
the killings took place in Detroit.
1t is said that IS men have been
marked for death. The police had
been warned that plans were under
way for a great battle. Not since
the days when the five points OF the
Bowery rang with the pistol barks
of the old-time gangs, has such a
battle been imminent. The tight
was to be staged in daylight and
the police threw out all sorts OF
feelcrs to secure advance informa-
ton and arrest the leaders. The men
picked up today are part OF the
gang. ,,.,,
j WCuty 4CAoSAo @A~'
Twenty murders have already
been committed in feuds originating
chiefly over bootlegging operations.
The Camorra desires to corner this
lucrative business and it is said its
leaders have decreed death tor -
men who have disobeyed orders or
refused to listen to reason
Albert Alteri was the last to be
killed. He knew he was a marked
man and was preparing to drop out
of sight, but the Camorra agent got
him within a stones throw OF police
headquarters. His two companions
fled to Italy and word came back
today that the Camorra had located
and killed them.
Murders in Other Cities.
Barcola Foncano, who confessed
TODAY, said that Camorra killings
had extended to Detroit, Philadel-
phia and New Jersey, although the
majority had been committed in New
York Aside from the battle for
control of the bootlegging business,
the Camorra desires to control a
profitable card game known as
"zechinetto."
Still another of the seven prison
ers confessed, verifying all Fon-
cano had told. He says all the
murdercrs come from the little town
of Castellamore del Golfo, in the
province of Tarrapini, Sicily, town
of 10000 inhabitants and IN which
the Camorra has committed more
than 200 murders.

Priest Swindled
By Man To Whom
He Gave Charity
Jack" McCabe Hunted by
: Police for Mulcting Father
Borer and Merchants of
Thousands of Dollars.

When John (Jack P. McCabe,
IS, believed'to be from Utica, N. Y,
appeared penniless and hungry at the
home OF Rev. Father William J.
Borer. pastor of the Our Lady OF
Lourdes church, Thirty-second ave-
nue. and Francis street, one bitter day
last winter, the priest took the
stranger into his home and started
him on the road to contentment.
Today McCabe is being hunted by
police throughout the country for
mulcting Father Borer and other
members of his family as we'll as
merchants in Omaha OF thousands
OF dollars.
McCabe disappeared from Omaha
with his young wife and two children
two weeks ago after having given
up a comfortably furnished home
which Father Borer rented for him
at 30S3 South Thrty-second street.
Discrepancies in Books.
How much of the church funds
McCabe absconded with. if any. has
not been determined, Father Borer
stated yesterday. A careful audit is
being made of the books.
There are discrepancies in the
books" declared Father Borer, "but
whether they are by McCabe's mis-
takes or design. I don't know"
SO we'll was McCable recommend
ed to Father Borer as deserving of
charity and so much confidence did
the priest place in the stranger that
he permitted McCable to establish a
set of books for the church funds
McCable showed letters of recon-
mcndations from prominent business
houses and manufactures in the east
stating that he was an expert book
keeper, Father Borer said.
"He told ME he came west for
his health,' said Father Borer,
though l am not so positive now
that he appeared in bad health"
Priest Loses $3.50.
Father Borcr is out $3.50 person
ally which he lent to McCabe to
bring his wife and two kiddies to
Omaha and to establish a home for
them. The priests father lost $1,000
to McCahe, while Miss Isabel Borer
is out $500 which the stranger bor-
rowed from her.
Father Borer and several business
houses also hold bad checks issued
by McCabe.
So welt did the priest take to the
stranger on account of his apparently
forlorn condition that he introduced
McCabe to prominent business men
i'll the city in an effort to get him
a job. Father Borer also established
credit in several department stores
for McCabe, of which the stranger
took unlimited advantage.

Special to The Tribune.

-
Roundup. June 26.-Drillers for the
julius Williams well, which IS to be-
drilled in the Devils Pocket, arrived
Thursday and material is expected to
follow at once. As soon as it comes,
it will be hauled to location and set UP.
In a geological report made by John
d. Hoff, this structure is stated to be
on the south slope and near the begin
ming of the great anticline which starts
in an uplift of the Snowy mountains
$50 miles southeasterly. The dome is
said to be 4 great structural high of
all the territory between the Snowy
and, consequently, has all Of that ter
ritory as gathering ground, no folds
existing between the two points with
sufficient dip to act as trap and shut
off the oil. A fault which has been
located on one side of the structure
effectually seals the dome on the noun
tain side of the escarpment. It has
an elevation of about 1000 feet and the
surface is Mowry shale.
The following sands will be tapped
in the Kotenai at $50 to 75O feet;
at the distances stated: Lakota sands
Len steep. ams0en ana Lmpdr az from
1910 to 1880 feet.
These latter sands are now consider
ed to be the real producing sands in
Montana. as proved in the Devils basin
and Soap creek.
Drilling is to be started July 1. and
the we'll is to be prosecuted diligently
until the test is complete.
Mr.. Williams is an oil operator of
experience and is now engaged in drill
ing in Wyoming. He has secured leases
on about 10000 acres in this and the
Twin Coulee structure. The latter
structure is to be drilled on or before

ditions obtaining as stated in the re-
port on the Devils Pocket structure.

being set as fast as the drill proceeds.
A supply of this material is now on the
ground. enough to assure the compile

I'm the absence of log of the Kelvin
structure. it is more or less conjecture
when production will be reached" Mr..
Stevenson stated. I'VE confidently ex-
pect to reach the oil within the next
100 or $50 feet Mr.. Campbell has
stated that the Kelvin structure COM
pares very favorably with the Cat
Creek field and it is this comparison
that has led to the belief that oil will
be had at the 1900 foot level Because
of the strong feeling that the next few
days will see promising developments.
Mr. Campbell expects to remain at the
we'll until it is brought in"
Announcement of the closing of the
company's books will be made in few
DAYS. according to Mr.. Stevenson. De
tails are now. completed for the loan
ing of $4,000 to Albert Goedertz. ST..

acres in the heart of the structure.
This acreage brings the total holdings
to 1870 acres. said Mr.. Stevenson.
