is expected finally to bring to jus

that in a little more than one year
has claimod nearly 4tt lives and caus
ed a rei.i'i! of terror in the Italian

'The til real upon the life of .Itidge

evidence in a “black hand” ease a
week ago aud the discovery that,
members of the jury had been ter
rorized and that iheir inability to
reach a verdict lU’obably was the di
rect result of these threats.
The recenf threats upon Judge Lan
dis, u|)on jurors and, yesterday on
the life of a member of Assistant
Chief of Police Schuevtier’s staff, are
exi>ecied to hasieu tiie scheduled ar
rests.
It is known that numerous Italian
secret service men imported from

seeking evidence to be used in the
?c.vernmenfs moves.
“The primary Is too close for any action against a club now." said
Assistant City Attorney DeLaney this morning, when asked if he had
sworn out a warrant for the Farmers and Mechanics Club officials
against whom testimony of an incriminating nature was presented in
the recorder's court Monday morning.
“What has the election to do with violations of state and city
laws?’’ queried a News reporter.
“A whole lot,” was the answer.
Six young men—the majority whom are admittedly minors —
were before the recorder Monday morning charged with an affray in
the Farmers and Mechanics Club, an organrzation doing business on
Poplar street. Four of the six were fined $100, and the other two were
fined $50 each.
Upon the witness stand the prisoners said they were members of
the club and were over 21 years of age. Their parents say thr'^e of them
are minors, and the record in the clerk’s office at the city hall does
not furnish the names of any of the six. A city ordinance says that
every club shall each month furnish the desk sergeant and the city
clerk with a list of its new members as well as with its locker holders.
It is a misdemeanor to violate this ordinance.
Some weeks ago all the clubs in the city were summoned to court to
answer the allegation o"' violating the ordinance and judgment in each
nistance was suspended.
Not only is there not a charge preferred against the Farmers and
Mechanics Club for a violation that is too admitted to answer contra
diction, but the clubs have been allowed until the 15th of April to com
ply with a law that wa; ratified by the legislature upon the 6th of
March. *
W/ould Put Dentistry
On Highei Plane
By Associated Press.
Washington, March 28.—With a
view to placing the dental profession
on a higher jilane, France has en-
acied more stringent requirements for
dentists to pass before acquiring a
license to practice in that country , |
so American dentists who are con
templating practicing in France will,
find the laws more difficult tli.in
hitherto, according to consular re-,
ports. :
The American dentist has long
reigned supreme in his profession in
Fiance and yet while there are good
native dentists, the high class work
and operations are performed by
.■Vmericans. As a result the high class
P'rench dentists deem a iiost giaduate,

in France are in iheir infancy. The

established until 1880.

IW YORK FIRE
By Associated Press.
New York, March 28.--Sifting down
theg reat mass of testimony at their
disposal, city and county officials
hoped today to draw closer to the
source ot resytonsibility for Satur
day’s factory fire horror In which
142 persons lost tl.eir lives.
Investigations started vesterday by
Frie Marshall Beers and District At
torney Whitman were continued and
in other official quarters the effort to
place the bdame w^as kept up with
undiminished vigor.
While officialdom was thus strug
gling with the questions which are
being asked as to the underlying
causes of the disaster, the mournful
task of burying the dead was contin
ued. Added to the fifty funerals ot
yesterday many more were held to
day. There remains twenty-nine bodi
es so badly burned that identification
seems improbable.
Aside from thep robe into the
cause of the disaster, undertaken
with a view to bringing whoever is
culpable to an accounting, architects
and fire experts are engaged today
In an examination of existing fire
laws to make possible legislation for
prevention of further horrors.
