TEN YEARS LATER
A True Detective story-copyrishtsa.

Of the boxes Of "erEsy Gang. Instantly
the mystery was solved. The CANS con-
tanned roll upon roll Of the "Morristown
Elves" manufactured in Italy.
In the roundup which followed this
discovery, Lupo and Morelle were gath
cred in by the government agents and
charged with passing counterfeit money
1t was moral certainty that the two
Sicilians had had hand in the plot
in fact Flynn suspected that they were
the ng-leaders-but none Of the others
would implicate them, oven to save them
selves. De Primo and his associates went
to the penitentiary, but Lulpo and Morel-
10 walked oalt of the courtroom stiH
sneering at the 'Fbrainless American de-
teetives."
During the years that followed, couu1-
terfeiting operations and Black Hand
murders, extortion and blackmail of all
kinds were almost traced TO Laoo and
Morello-almost. APPARENT ythey worked
as far west as Chicago and s6tTh to New
but every time the police or the govern
ment agents started to close in on them
the pair slipped out through some legal
loophole prepared in advance
1t was nine years after the original

A few days later, a young ItsIian
named Con1fta, who Claimed to be a
printing expert who had been forced to
leave Italy on account of participation In

Lupo for a position. The receit was

One Of the first acts OF William ].
Flynn after taking charge of the New
Y ork office of the United States secret
service was to order the arrest of two
Italians, vmcenzo N1po and Gu lseppe
Morelfo. on charges Of manufacturing
and passng counterfeit money. But the
Sicilians, anticipating such a move had
taken care that their trails were well
covered. and at the trial they produced
flock of witnesses who swore to aliTbis
which effeEtIEIE prevented a convsc-
ton.
AS Morello and his companion passed
out Of the courtroom, after the case

The man who later became the head
Of the secret service said nothing at the
time.
1t was three years before Flynn came
in contact with the two Italians, and again
the federal h4rces had to he cont ert
with the losing end of the argument.
This tins the case was the famous

CONFERENCES ron RAN MEN.

II the report from Washington to the
effect that the agreement which has
been reached whereby the rail men VIII
meet with the railroads for a discussion
Of wage and rules with a view to reach
ing an agreement in regard to them, is
correct there has been excellent head
way made in the effort Of the admins
tratlon through the services Of Secre-
tary Hoover TO bring about cooperation
that will avoid friction and deal with
conditions that are faced.
It has been manifested for a long time
that there is a call for a lowering Of
the railroads rates. 1t Is not only be-
heved that they are too high but that
a great aid to business would be given
through a reduction, and at TIE same
time there would be benefit to the rail-
roads themselves through increased
transportation. That is looked for where
travelling rates are reduced and 1t Is
only reasonable that it should apS1ly In
the same way to the matter of freight.
Whether the willingness of the men
to sit down with the employers and talk
over the situation is regarded as a rec
ignition Of the fact that wages play an
important part in rate making and must
come down, whether the inclination ID
| avoid trouble is interpreted as good
sign OF whether there is a determination

Plainly evident that sensible view o.
the situation is taken in agreeing to gst
