q: Officers believe that the men were
seeking to steal the bodies or hack
them to pieces to destroy any evidence
which they might furnish investiga-
tors.
Ford's remark tat the men were
dark completed adds to police the
DRY that the assassins were men Of
Italian extraction.
District Attorney Malloy said today
that he was convinced that James
Blandino, Mrs. Blandino's second hus-
band, knows more than he is telling
about the case.
Charges Are Dismissed.
Charges of suspicion of homicide
against Blandino and Rosario di
Lorenzo. his barber shop assistant.
were dismissed today. but both were
re-arrested rs material witnesses.
Few murders more brutal have ever
been recorded in New York's crime
annals.
The bodies of the two women were
found Thursday night on lonely road
on Staten Island. Each girls throat
had been slashed. Deep stab wounds
penetrated their backs.
Not far away. in clump Of bushes.
a bloody butcher knife, the assassin's
weapon. was found.
A few hundred yards down the road
the police found a pool of blood. This
gave rise to the theory that the wo-
men had been murdered elsewhere and
their bodies had been carried from
the death spot. The finding of a
bloodstained car shortly after the
murder heightened this belief.
BIaekhand Theory Arises.
The theory that men Of Italian
extraction committed the crime arose
when it was learned that Mrs. Blan-
dino's first husband was supposed to
have been slain BY blackhanders. Tt
is said that her life was once threat-
ened when she declared that she
could give no information about the
stabbing because size feared "that
gang"
That she might have changed her
mind and threatened TO expose her
first husbands slayers is Viewed by
officers as a possible reason for the
murder.
1t is believed that Miss Ethel Phil
lips was slain merely because she
happened TO be with Mrs. BiSndino
at time when the murderers found
ii convenient TO do away with their
victim.
She was killed. il is thought, be-
cause she had witnessed too much.

er, an ordinance was passed at
the last sitting of the city faith
ers, in Council chamber last
Friday evening, prohibiting the
playing of baseball, basket ball,
lawn tennis or cards on the

! visions of this ordinance, Sum-
day card playing, especially,
will be an expensive amuse-
ment, as the penalty provided
is fine of not less than twen-
ty-five dollars nor more than
fifty dollars. For the other
offenses, a fine ranging from
ten to twenty dollars is provi-
deG.
Other offenses covered in the
ordinance is the sale on Sun

magazines, filling of prescrip-
tions or other work of charity
or necessity. A fine of not less
than twenty-five dollars nor
more than one hundred dollars

greeted the minister at the
opening service and attendance
throughout the week has been
good, especially at the eveing
services. Services are held at

7:45 each evening.
The Rev. Riding is doing
some excellent, soul-stirring
preaching, the christian people
of town, regardless of church
affiliation, are cooperating
splen0idly, and it is thought
much spiritual good will result.
Services have been announc-

night and Rev. Riding states
he will announce at that time
how much longer the revival
will be continued.
EVERYBODY in Washington and

SUPPORTING(?)T THEPAPER

A practice, known to exist
for years, which results in TIE
Withholding of needed financial
support from this paper, is the
passing of copies of the Tele-
graph from home to home. AL
so, there are numbers of copies
re-maile0 to other parties from
time to time, some of them be-
ing mailed out regularly each
week under postage.
Although admitting that this
practice is legitimate, we ap-
peal to our readers, in the spir-
1t of fairness, to quit this prac-
tice.
1t is known to us that par
ties who hold lucrative posi-
tions elsewhere have for years
been reading this paper each
week mailed them under pos
tage after being read by those
sending it. There are dozens
of such cases.
Remailing these papers &c.
prives the party forwarding it
of the paper fa. future refer
ence, costs the sender 81 cents
a year in stamps and, perhaps,
several dollars worth of time
in carrying the fifty-two issues
to the postoffice for remailing.
In addition, the recipient of the
paper is a day or so later re-
ceiving the paper than if it is
mailed from this office.
Our contention is that, every
thing considered, it will be
cheaper for these parties to
pay the subscription price
$1.50 per year- and receive
the paper from this office. At
the same time, they would have
the satisfaction of knowing
that they were having a part
in financing the paper and MAX
ing it a better publication.

eliminate the parasite?
