GOVERNMENT AROUSED AT BLACKHANOERS. Chicago, March 531. Following two demonstrations of the Black Hand -one against United States Judge K. M. Landis and the other against W. P. Dannenburg, the government’s special Black Hand investigator Federal de- i tectives were started today on what promises to be the most relentless war on the society ever inaugurated in America. A cylindrical object, in the form of an infernal machine, was found just outside the door of Judge Landis’ chambers late yesterday evening and detectives declared that it had been placed there by agents of the Chicago Mafia. Judge Landis was “mark ed for death” by the Mafia, ac cording to an anonymous letter received by him two days ago. Alt ho government agents were inclined to laugh at the supposed bomb, therf? is an undercurrent, of apprehension and rumors were, renewed that William J. Burns, the detective who uncovered the the wholesale graft plots in San i Francisco, would be called into! the case here. The fears were augmented to-; day by the receipt of a threaten- j ing letter from the Black Hand 1 to Dannenburg. Altho his pres-j ence in Chicago was supposed to be a secret, the detective was warned to cease his investigations if he wanted to live. Several supposed memliers of the Mafia have been arrested by the Chicago police, but they have not been connected with any of the operations of the society. Philip Purpura, one of the prisoners, confessed today that he had sent a Black Hand letter to Max Rice, demanding SI,OOO. He said he had instructed Rice where to put the money. Pur pura was arrested when he pick ed up a fake package placed \\ here he had directed. ROMAN IN BATTLE LOSES AN EAR.

Demorest, Ga., March 530 Four hundred children, mostly in jthe primary grades, leaped from | windows of the Hill school Imild j mg at Piedmont college yesterday and were saved from death when fire was discovered eating its way I through the structure. More i than a score of children were in jured, but none fatally owning to the short distance they were for ced to jump. The fire started in the basement from the heating apparatus unci burned fiercely. When the alarm j was sounded the flames had gain ed such headway that panic reign ed, pupils and teachers alike pi ling headlong from the windows. The Hill building is occupied ] by the primary grades and uoth img prevented heavy loss of life | except the fact that the second ■ story windows were so near tin I c a rt h.

Cambridge, Mass,, March 531. — Three Cambridge police officers rescued Charles Roach ford, a ne gro waiter at Memorial Hull, Harvard Cniversitv, from the minds of a mob of several hun dred Harvard students, who had caught him after he had shot and probably fatally wounded another negro waiter, Heath Hughes, in the dining Lull at the college to day: GORDON MC DONALD PARDONED. Gordon McDonald, who was convicted of killing Collin Cheney and Hersehel Burse about five years ago, near Cochran, and was sentenced to 99 years in the penitentiary by Judge Martin of Pulaski Superior Court, was par doned by Governor Brown last Saturday and is now at home with his father at Lumber City. He is a son of J. W. McDonald, a former citizen of Pulaski county, but now in the employ of the Southern Railway at Lumber City. Mr. McDonald’s untiring efforts i to secure a pardon ever since his! son has been incarcerated has at last met with success, and we certainly hope that this son will make a good law abiding citizen] and ever remain a pleasure and a solace to the father who was so loyal and untiring in his efforts to secure his liberty.

The session of the -S'.o'hern | Commercial Congr.-ss v.ivrh "•■as I held in Atlanta should p.-u\ of ! inestimable value to the South’s !future progress. The mere mention of the i icr jthut the Congress will spend i $500,000 fn thoroughly advorii.s jing this section of the nation and jin bringing it to the attention of the entire world, is sufficient to I show that the efforts of the ad ! vertising scheme adopted will ] far-reaching ari d e H'e cl i .e . | Though the Congress has ended I its session, the work which it I has undertaken has hardly begun. One noteworthy feature of the {advertising campaign to he in j augurated is that it will extend ‘over a period of five years. The I wisdom of thus extending the j publicity that is to he given this I section is at once obvious. In j stead of spending the advertis ing appropriation in one lump sum and then leaving no further word said, this fund will be used to repeat and drive home the truth that the South is the most flourishing section of the nation and that its future is most prom ising. Every branch of the industrial and commercial life of the South will be thoroughly and skillfully handled in every form of legiti mate and profitable publicity. Every inquiry that is received as a result of this publicity will be recorded and carefully followed up until some results are achiev ed in each individual case. The thoroughness and soundness of such a plan should recommend itself to every business man in the South. There can be no doubt that far-reaching good will result. It furnishes another notable in dication that the South is coming into its own in every line of worthy endeavor. No section of the nation has advanced so rapid ly in recent years as the South. The new *plan of the Southern Commercial Congress will keep alive and increase the sound and vital growth that has been shown thus far. Times-Recordor. Miilinerv Opening-.
