CHERAMMERGAU, Bavria, Dec.
6. The preparations for the Passio.i

Tho theater and auditorium have

Under the direction of the stage

so a photographic studio has been
added to tho theater.
Under tho auditorum an ambu

members of tho nmbulance corps.
Next to this a room for n fire bri

BLACK HAND
CASES ARE UP
Ohio Federal Court Has Interesting.
Cases to Consider A Dozen
Are Under
Arrest.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. ?. The term
of tho federal court which convenes
in this city tomorrow will bo made
notable by the trial of n dozen or
nioro nlolgod members of the notor
ious band of black hand assassins,
known as the Society of the Banana,
:whonro declared to have been ex
torting large sums of money from
terified victims in towns and cities
,of Ohio, Pennsylvania. West Virginia.
Indiana nud New York for at lont
two years past. The postal inspec
tors who have been gathering evi
dence in the cases for many mouths,
say they have no doubt of securing
the conviction of every Italian under
arrest.
John Amieon, a wealthy produce
dealer of Columbus, will be the prin
cipal witnoss for tho government, the
case having been woven around
threatening black hand letters ad
dressed to him. Last January Ami
con nnd his brother who is a member
of his firm, found a dynamite bomb
on their porch, with the following
letter wrapped around it:
"Mr. John and Charlie: We wish
.?10.000. $5,000 from each: there
fore search for funds to bring this
sum to Pittsburg if you value your
life. TliisVhich you found is a sam
ple, but if you go to thevpolice you
are lost. Thorefore consult with the
others of the family before you act
for tho law cannot watch .you the
year around. Therefore, do not con
fide in anyone, but think of your
wives nnd children.
"(Signed) EXTERMINATORS."
Subsequent to the receipt of the
bomb John Aniicon received more let
ters with alarms and threat which
were mailed from Pittsburg and Cin
cinnati. Instcnd of disposing of his
business nnd fleeing the country as
other victims of the black hand gang
are known, fo have done, Amicon
piomptly communicated with the Ital
ian, ambassador, the latter placed the
matter in the hands of the United
States postal, inspectors who prompt
ly went to work on the case.
TOLSTOI SENDS OUT
GREAT PEACE MESSAGE
GENEVA, Dec. Count Leo Tol
stoi, by way of Switzerland, has giv
en another message to tho world. At
an antl-mllltary meeting held at Bl-
enne, when 100 Swiss and foreign
delegates were assembled, Count Tol
stoi's appeal was read amid great en
thusiasm. ,
The appeal was especially written
for the recent peace congress at
Stockholm, but tho strike caused a
postponement of tho congress. Lat
er It was arranged to read tho ap
peal at Berlin. The largest hall in
that city was engaged and all tho
j tickets were sold, but the police pro-
hibltcd tho reading. Tolstoi's friends
In Geneva, having obtained permls-
j slon, delivered his message at Bl-
enne.
Count Tolstoi appeals to tho good
senso of tho world's peoples to re-
: fuse to serve as soldiers, oven If that
j refusal entails punishment. Killing
by soldiers, ho asserts, Is a criminal
'act.
j Tho message appeals, not to gov
, ernments, but directly to peoples and
their good sense, to stop the growth
of armies and navies.
