BLACK B ANDERS A BBESTED Seve^ Men and One Woman Held in Toronto Jail A despatch from Toronto says : Th© prisoners, who wcr» very Wiitli tlio arrest on Friday of sev- en men and one woman, tlie police believe tliey iiave broken up the h€adqi!ariers of the Black Hand Sutieiy in Toronto, which for sev- eral months pa«t has been keeiiiiig two-thirds of the Italian colony in ihe central part of t>he city in a Bt-Ate of UMiur. As a result of information gleaned by the police, following the •iirrender of Frank Griro on a charge 'if niitrdcring Francesco Sei- auue, Sergeant of Detectives Alex. Mackie and the entire staff of de- tectives on Friday visited three res- tatiran'tiS couduct-ed by Italians in York *lreet, and |)Iaced under ar- rest fourteen i)eop!e, and seized eeveral dirks, letters and other articles. Of tlvjse broufiht to headquarters eight were detaiuc<l, the reiinainder being given their Ireedum after giving satisfactory explanations for their presence in the places. After being c.xajnined those detained were taken to the ' jail. As soon a* certain individuals in the Italian cnlony learned that •Griro was behind the bars they •were nut slow to enlighten tho au- tihorities upon some of the cou'di tions under which the alleged Black Hand organir.ation wa» being op- erated in Toronto. Fearing that •onie xf the ringleaders might make their •â- scape the police deemed it best to act promi)tly in the ma.tter. f)hort'!y after a o'clock the detec- tives visit-ed l(iO York street, a restaurant conducted by Joe Muse- liuo, where they found seven men and iwu Women ; 1G5 York streot, a fruit s'tore. kept by Salvatori Sc'- ariine. a brotlier of the murdered man, where there were five men, and 171 York street, a barber shop, ojuducted by James l{a|)ola, who admitted selling the revolver to (irirn. who fired th© fatal shots. Itapola was the only occupant of the place. e.xcited, when taken 'to hea<Iquar- ters stoutly denied any connection â- with the Black Hand organization in Torijuto, though, according U) information conveyed to the police, the headquarters of the organiza- tion in Toron'to was located at Mnseliiiu's restaurant. A few days ago there arrived in Toronto a sec- ret service detective from Xaple», who figured pioMiinently in the famous t'anioira trial now in l)ro- gress in Xiples. He was walking along the street when he recogniz- ed twd allege<.l Black Banders, who eacaiH'd from Naples following the commencement of the trial. As tioon as they got a glimpse of him they boarded a street car and got away. This satisfied him that they were here for the jnirpose of op- erating, and their description was immediately given to the authori- ties. Subsequentl.v it was learned that they had been loitering around the places visited by the police in York street, but when the officers lined up the inmates in the different places the two much-sought indi- viduals were not among the mini- her. That the place kept by Muse- lino was used almost exclusively for those counei-ted with the .soci- ety as a meeting place the police feel certain.

They Had Kefii.sed to INit Mail .Ashore anil Went on Strike. A despatch from Montreal says: Fifty-seven men, comprising the entire contingent of fust and Bec- ond-class st'Cwaixls on board tlie .Mian Liner Victorian, were ar- rested and driven to jail on the ar- rival of that vessel from Liverjiool on Friday evening. Their arrest was due to the fact that they had refu.sed to perform their duties at Himoiiski and during the voyage up the river from that point. The en- tire fifty-seven were taken into cus tody without a blow being struck and without any signs of trouble, and they seemed somewhat suri>ris cd that the company should have called in shore law to settle the dif fuulty. The trouble started when the vessel arrived at Rimonski on I'riday niorniug and the stewards! refuses! to assist in putting the mail ashore. This has been a grievance j for some time, and was the cause i of some little trouble last year, but since the spring, when the Allan Liners took to putting all the mail, except that tor the Maritime Prov- inces, ashore at Quebec, the amount haiulled at Uimoiiski has been so small as no', tu cause trouble A deipaU.'h from London says : A re.-.olution to j)ay members of the House of Commons I9-J,00U annual- \y for their «er\ices was carrietl by * vote of 'IM 111 l,')'.l.

A despatch from lola, Kansas, says : lola city othcials, with the exee[>tion of Municipal Judge Smeltzer, are up iu arms because a woman has been sentenced to don a pair of bloomers and join the street gang from the city jail. Judge Snieltzer on Tuesday sen- tenced Mrs. Ella Reese to the street gang and ordered that city ofKciala provide her with the bloomers. Street (Commissioner Ulyiin refused to have a woman in the chain gang. Mrs. Reese did not go to work breaking ruck or sweeping I lie streets on Wixlnej- (lay because the bloomers bad not been provided, and the officials say they will not allow tho woiuan to carry out the sentence imposed up- on her. ed by being .struck on the head with a brick, and many persons were injured. An altercation between a policeman and strikers during a transport workers' demonstration at St. George's Hall started the trouble, which culminated iu a general melee. .After order had been restored and the strikers scat- tered, they gathered again in the Islington (.luarter and resumed their attacks upon the police and with serious results. One hundred tliousand men were gathered in groups about St. (Jeorge's Hall lis- tening to speeches by labor leaders, and the scenes of violence following the attack upon a policeman ne- ce.ssitated the calling out of the pol- ice re.serveH. When they arrived one party of fifteen policemen was surrounded and disarmed, the riot- ers attacking them with their own bayonets. In the fight the com- mamier of the police was danger- ously wounded, lluring the course of the day forty policemen and si.x- ty civilians were injured, many of" them seriously. The temper of the rioters is shown hy the fact that they even attacked the amhulance surgeons and the firemen who were called to extiuguish incendiary fires. » « l)ISt)RI)KK IN tii,AS(;t)W.
