HYDER TO BE HUMMER
Ketchikan Chronicle. Aug. 8: Hyder
's buzzing with activity, prospectors
working in the hills, and the coun
try promises to be going full blast hv
next spring, according to A. TO. Darson.
cashier of the Miners & Merchants
Bank, who returned from Hyder yes
terday.
“The big need in Hyder ar present
i"<i dock,” said Mr Larson this morn
ing. "There is now no way in winch
to land supplies except by means of
'(•ows at high tide, and this is very ex
pensive."
evi oievurr, it. < .. just a tittle away,
a dock is already io. according to Mr.
Larson, and Hyder will have to huild
one soon in order to hold the business.
"Hyder is the logical mine outlet,”
said Mr. Larson. “We found it almost
impossible to get rooms. All accom
modations were taken and it was only
with great difficulty that we found a
place to slay.”
In speaking of transportation facili
ties. Mr. Larson said that Canadian
freighters made weekly trips to Stew
art, while there is practically no Amer
ican facilities.
“It would improve the situation tre
mendously if the American steamship
companies would make a rate for Hyder
freight. A dock at Hyder could be,
used t lie year ’round, while the one at
Stewart, freezes in cold weather."
Fearfully and Wonderfully
Eight or nine women, assembled at
luncheon, were discussing ailments and
operations as 8 or 9, or 1 or 2, or< 60 or
60 women will. The talk fart through
angina pectoris, torpid liver, tubercu
losis and kindred happy topics.
"I thought,’’commented the guest of
honor, "that. I had been invited to a
iuncheon, and not to an organ recital.”

BLACK HAND SUSPECTS
Chicago. Aug. 1+.—Rounding up of a
Chicago Black Hand hand, whose oper
ations are said to have netted $50,000
in six months, was begun recently
when postal inspectors culminated all
investigation of t it fee months with tlte
arrest of six men,
Gen. .lames E. .Stuart, chief postoffice
inspector of the Chicago division, an
nounced that tlte round-up was thebig
gest and most important, in the history
of tlte division. The arrests were oniv
a prelude to others that will follow, lie
said. It is believed at least 25 persons
are involved.
Fifteen postal inspectors working in
day and night relays have been en
gaged in setting tlie net that Gen. Stu
art lias begun pulling in. Although lie
would disclose but little information
until tlte round-up was completed, he
saitl tlte arrests so far made were
achieved unit the assistance of two of
tlte hand's prospective victims.
l>y intercepting letters to victims and
tracing them to tlie writers with the
aid of handwriting experts and a process
of elimination of mail boxes, the postal
inspectors obtained the names of the
leading members of the band here and
then shadowed them until other mem
bers were feund. A daily check was
kept on their movements.
Although the evidence so far ob
tained deals only with Chicago, there
are indications that the operations of
the band were of nation-wide scope asd
that it had representatives in ail the
larger cities of the country, Chicago
being headquarters. The men arrested
were:
Frank Russo, grocer, Italian political
leader, and said by Gen. Stuart to be
tlie directing genius of the band.
Mark Re Poona, Russo's brother-in
law.
Vitto Rubino and his 16-year-old son.
Joseph Rubino.
Nicholas and Pasquale Zarelli, broth
ers-in-law of Rubino and living at his
home, and said to be collectors for the
band.
Gen. Stuart attributes many of the
hitherto unexplained bombings of Chi
cago homes to tlie banu.
J. Frank Keenan, the veteran chef,
visited among his old townies here
abouts last Tuesday afternoon.
