THE BLACK HAND INDUSTRY.
11 is said that Black Hand
blackmailers gather a daily aver
age of $1,100 in New Y&rk City.
A detective who says that only
one in ten prospective victims has
the nerve to wait until he is re
minded with a bomb explosion
that he has forgotten to pay his
assessment, the nine providing
for the safety of themselves and
families on a basis of about $200
each.
Thus far in 1913 nearly 00
bombs have been set off on the
New York spaghetti trail, and
about 550 Cicilians, Tuscans,
Neapolitans, etc., who have not
been blown up have paid heavy
tribute to their countrymen who
are too strong to work and whose
chief accomplishment is suffi
cient knowledge of explosives to
enable them to till a gaspipe with
giant powder and have it go off
at the psychological moment. The
latter have found that nothing
will open the pockets of the small
business men in the block like
thtej infernal machine which
knocks down a stairway and
throws a few dozen families out
of bed in the gray of the morn
ing, when they are sleeping the
soundest. If it kills a man or
two it all goes in with the day's
work and tin1 the Black Hander a
hundred or so more on the next
job.
It’s a playful pastime, and rv- ;
cry day or two supplies a remind
er to the New York police that
they are unable to stop it.
WHAT IS A MONGOL?
__
Tin* I 'nili*«l Slates Supreme
Court is likely to have presented]
i
jo it for delermiiialion iy question ;
of ethnology which might well
puzzle a less erudite body. If the
Japanese government persists in
its attitude denying that persons
of that nationality are of “Mon
golian origin'’ and therefore ex
cluded from qiialilical ion as citi
zens or residents of Ihe United
States, il must be the court and
not the congress that decides.
The contention on the Japan
ese side, it is understood, is that
their people are of Aryan or Ma
layan lineage, and that they
should be classified as white. An
acute interest in this question is
provoked by Ihe controversy over
projected legislation in California
regarding the ownership of land
in that stale by aliens.
As it stands there would seem
to be a technical question of eth
nological character, heietofore
misunderstood, which may con
trol the situation arid perhaps
solve '
The average citizen will not
worry much about the worries of
the man who is threatened with
the income tax.
Now conies the announcement
that Egypt had a monfey trust 4,
000 years ago. Possibly, and see
what happened to Egypt.
A Pittsburg woman is suing for
a divorce because her husband
has not spoken to her in eleven
years. Possibly he can prove that
he hasn’t had a chance.
A New York man proposes to
start a restaurant for the pur
pose of furnishing food instead
< f booze and vaudeville stunts.]
He should do well in I his new'
field.
-
It is said the Mexicans who
shot two American sailors at
Guaymas merely made a mistake.
Possibly it was the same sort
of a mistake Huerta made when
Made! o was killed.
The Ohio paper which says the
flood left sixty dead as a living
monument to its work of destruc
tion adds another remarkable
document to the literature of a
very remarkable period.
(iovernment investigators find
that the farmers of the country
have to pay high rates of inter
est on short time loans. At the
same time the farmer tfas the sat
isfaction of knowing that he is
among those who can get, the
money, if lie needs il.
Different Now.
For a good' many years "The
Commoner,” edited by William J.
Bryan, has been rather severe in
ils criticism of the foreign policy
of the United Stales. But limes
have changed.
The recent issues of The Com
moner bear cheering evidence
that Editor Bryan quite warmly
indorses the foreign policy as
enunciated through the Secretary
of the Department, of Stale at
Washington, IJ. C.
