OLD WORLD FEUDS
HERE IN AMERICA
NEW YORK’S CARNIVAL OF BLOOD
How the Hunchakist, the Tong, the Mafia, the Black
Hand, the Vendetta, the Athenian Blood Pact, and
Other Complications, Have Been Imported Into the
Metropolis to Breed Violence.

New York.—The time was, and not
so very long ago, when any murder in
New York which had in it any amount
of mystery and which could not be at
tributed to one of the causes which
commonly bring on murder—jealousy
or temper or robbery—was apt to be
laid at the doors of one or another of
the gangs that infested the city. Eith
er it was supposed that the gang had
a grudge against the victim and so
arranged to destroy him, or that the
gang had been hired to remove him
and had planned the job and done it
according to contract.
But within the last few years an
element more dangerous, more sinis
ter and far more subtle has crept into

New York's crime records. Old World
feuds and vendettas have been trans
planted here, and, seemingly, the soil
of the new country has proved amaz
ingly fertile to their growth. Every
few days or weeks brings an assassin
ation or an outbreak which can be
traced in a way to Old World influ
ences. Very often the police are able
to show that the thing was plotted in
some out-of-the-way elbow of Europe
or Asia, although what the motives
and what the immediate influences
which prompted the crime are things
that the keenest of the detectives and
the cleverest of the newspaper men
can never exactly find out.
Feuds Hard to Understand.
Before them rises the barriers of
foreign secretiveness, fear and
strangeness of language—barriers
which effectually preclude the punish
ment for the shooting or stabbing or
dynamiting, as the case may be, al
though sometimes the tool who pulled
the trigger or sank the blade is made
to suffer. The penance which New
York pays for being an asylum and a
refuge for all people of the world is
written in red letters. For with the
new blood and the good blood we get
in nearly every immigrant ship that
touches these shores some of the
seeds of a legacy of hate which dates
back perhaps a hundred years to an
ancient political or religious quarrel
that we cannot fathom or understand.
In the old days a crime which had
about, it the signs of premeditation
had also, generally speaking, the ear
marks of some gang leader and his
merry men. There were policemen
who could tell at a glance whether the
credit for a sordid slum tragedy prop
erly belonged, say, to the followers of
Humpy Jackson, that talented gun
fighter who toted his hardware in his
hat, or whether it should be added to
the tally of the clan of the ambidex
trous and ambitious Nine-Eyed Donni
gan. But since Eat-Em-Up Jack Mc
Manus started down the Bowery one
night over two years ago and came
back in an ambulance with his skull
caved in by a gas pipe there has not
. been a gang murder which showed evi
dence of having been worked out be
forehand.
Ended Chinatown Trouble.
These times that's all changed and
done away with. It is the intricate
feuds of the foreign-born that are
cooked up on embers with which this
country has no part or parcel which
■ beget the bulk of the unexplained and
unpunished crimes of the tenement
districts and the quarters where the
aliens of the community make their
homes. For three years a desperate
quarrel_raged in Chinatown. It cost the
lives of between 15 and 20 Chinamen.
Three were killed in one night at the
Chinese theater in Doyer street. Sud
denly it ended short off and there
wore no more killings.
The police took the credit for mak
ing Chinatown once more safe for the
tourist of the rubberneck hack and the
curio buyer. As a matter of fact they
had nothing to do with kt. Moved by
the prayers of the Chinese merchants
of Chinatown the old Dowager
Empress served notice on the men
whom she knew to be responsible for
the gun fighting in the narrow, smelly
little streets that unless they stopped
their foolishness in New York she
would find it incumbent upon herself
to put to death their relatives at home
in China, more particularly parents
and grandparents.
Had Origin in Home Quarrel.
The police had never been able to
make any of their accusations of mur
der stick against the suspects who
trailed at the slipperless heels of con
sumptive, oily little Mock Duck. But
the old Empress knew the way. The
police know and so does the rest of
the town that in a general way of
speaking the hostile factions were di
vided then, and are still divided, for
that matter, into the Hip Sing Tong
and the On Leong Tong. But it wasn't
until months after the active warfare
ceased that the truth, came out that
behind the whole thing lay the rival
ry between the Reform party in China
and the party which is faithful to the
reigning dynasty.
Frequently in one or another of the
three large and well-defined Italian
settlements there occurs a murder
which cannot be attributed merely to
a row over chianti in some base
ment drinking place. The police sapi
ently say "Black Hand,” arrest a few
suspects, misspell the names of the
prisoners, keep them awhile and turn
them loose for lack of evidence on
which to hold them longer.
Last fall three such murders oc
curred in rapid succession on the low
er east side, one in Chrystie street,
one in Forsyth street, one in First
street, a few doors oft the Bowery. In
each instance the victim was shot
through a window and likewise
through the head. All three jobs bore
the workmanship of the same practic
ed hand, or set of hands. Said the po
lice, “Black Hand,” which is a blanket
expression, covering for them a multi
tude of sins.
Not Work of “Black Hand.”
Eventually it came out in a round
about fashion that the three dead men
had all been members of the genuine
article, the High Mafia, in the Old
country, and although they have nev
er been able to prove it the detectives
of the Italian bureau are morally cer
tain that two chosen instruments of
the mother organization—brothers, as
it happened, and both of them dead
shots—were sent all the way here
from Sicily to kill off the luckless
three for the unforgivable crime of be
traying the society to the authorities
before they took themselves out of the
province. Similarly some blood vendet
ta which had its beginning 50 or 75
years ago in Palermo or Calabria is
liable to prove fatal to a prosperous
padrone in Mulberry Bend tomorrow.
What has been known as the Orient
al quarter, where the Arabs and Syri
ans live—down on Washington street,
in stuffy old-time houses that squat al
most in the shadow of the tallest of
the skyscrapers—furnishes an out
break for no apparent reason occasion
ally. Generally no lives are lost, for
the Syrian is notoriously a bad shot,
but there is always a heap of indis
criminate popping of pistols and
shouting and running around, and then
two or three Orientals go to the hos
pital, badly bunged up. The cause?
Merely a local blooming out of a quar
rel that has its roots at the bottom
of the social structure of Syria; the
breach between the two branches of
the Syrian church has been reopened
in due form here in New York.
Traced Many Murders.
A few days ago the sensational
Union Square murder served to direct
attention to the fight between the
Turks and the Armenians and be
^ ms

---,
tween the Armenians themselves. The
richest Armenian in America, a mil
lionaire rug merchant, was shot to
death from behind as he came out of
the Everett House, where he had been
for his lunch. Investigating the assas
sination the district attorney's office
stumbled upon a door which, being
opened, showed a veritable Blue
Beard's closet of horrors. Mr. Jerome's
young men were able to trace the mur
der of the rug merchant, the butchery
of the Armenian priest, old Father
Kaspar, three months before, and half
a dozen other unexplained murders
here and in other parts of the globe
to a common cause.
They learned, to their very great
surprise, that for months and years
most of the wealthy Armenians in
America had been living in fear of
their lives because of the threats and
the acts of a mysterious Armenian so
ciety formed ostensibly for the pur
pose of aiding the moribund revolu
tion against Turkey, but in reality
doing a large mail-order business in
murder, blackmail and intimidation—
a society which has its headquarters
in Cypress and which, through its
chosen agents, strikes deadly blows at
will in New York or London or Con
stantinople or New England. The
slayer of the rug dealer came, so the
police believe, all the way across the
ocean from Greece to shoot one of his
countrymen whom he had never seen.
He got his orders and he came.
Trouble Brought from Sparta.
One night last week a desperate
fight broke out among the Greek ped
dlers who sell fruit and peanuts
around the Manhattan entrance of
Brooklyn bridge. Up and down Park
Row* the fight raged. Fifteen or twen
ty Greeks, arrayed in equal strength
on either side, deserted their push
carts to use knives and fists and clubs
on one another. They overpowered the
first of the policemen who came
against them and kept, right on. It
took the reserves from two station
houses to mow the gladiators down
and drag them away to the station
house.
In the police court the magistrate
said he supposed they were two rival
groups of peddlers who had fallen out
over the distribution of the fruitful
territory about the bridge entrance.
“Oh, no,” explained the interpreter,
quite as a matter of fact. “All these
men come from Sparta, and there has
been a bitter quarrel between their
families in Sparta for many years.
They happened to meet in force here
in New’ York.”
He added that from what he could
gather there would probably be work
for an undertaker when the leaders of
the two clans came out of the work
house. And there you are. That’s the
way it goes in New York, the world
metropolis.
BOYLESS ERA SEEMS NEAR.
Writer Laments Growing Scarcity of
the Monarch of the Office.
The shortage in boys has caused the
sign "bey wanted" to blossom forth
with almost unprecedented ubiquity.
It meets your eye here in Boston,
even, and in New York city it's every
where, the papers say, while many a
philosopher is scratching his pate to
find out why. Two theories are fight
ing for acceptance, says a writer in
the Boston Transcript. One says the
child labor laws are being enforced.
In many offices the hoy is employed
as a messenger only, and the emolu
ments are not sufficiently glittering
to attract a boy big enough to dodge
the ’aw. Others call the phenomenon
* fcy-product of prosperity, if the rich
X Hre poorer by reason of certain eccen
tricities of the stock market, the poor
are richer by reason of the general
rise in wages; hosts of families,
hitherto dependent upon the earnings
of young hopefuls, can now send them
to school. I fancy there's truth in
both theories.
Dut my heart sinks within me when
I look forward to the boyless era that
seems to impend. What, pray tell
me, would a newspaper office be if
bereft of its most lofty dignity?
There flits through the recesses of
the journalistic memory a long and
very impressive procession of such.
How shy, how tender they were on
first arriving! How arrogant, ere half
a fortnight! One, as I recall, howled
down the sanctum speaking tube:
“Hnlly gee, there ain’t no stamps
teff! —whereupon a dozen voices
cried: “Grammar! grammar!” You
might have supposed this would over
awe a simple child of 15, but he
merely answered, indulgently: “Say,
I was only talkin’ to de countia’
room!” Another young gentleman,
successor to the erratic grammarian,
was one day seated at his little desk,
when a caller handed him a manu
script, saying: “This is for the edi
tor.” Billie tucked it into a drawee,
and when the caller returned,"a week
or so later, bidding the rogue inquire
what had been the fate of his effusior,
his highness remarked, sadly: “Yes,
I read the darn thing, an* we-Jldal.
want it. See?” But why continue
these curious narrations? It’s a
shame, really, to print office boy
stories, and thus prevent their further
exploitation, when so many poor
humorists depend upon them for a liv
ing.
To be wholly frank, I don't imagine
the office boy will vanish altogether
for a long while yet. Moreover, as he
falls behind in quantity, he will quite
possibly advance in quality. Tolerated
to-day, he will be courted to-morrow.
We shall be going around on our
bended knees to the boy, just as we
do to the former midway characters
who now serve us as cooks and wait
ing maids, hnd then there’ll be no
holding him. And only think what a
boon his expanded personality will af
ford the humorist! They can get oat
their old jokes, magnify them a thous
and diameters, and sell them over
again.

THIRST WAS FIRST THOUGHT.
Familiar Sound Cause of Young Man’s
Bad Break.
John C. Risley of Detroit, at the
New York convention of the Interna
tional Society of Hotel and Restaurant
Employes—a convention notable for
its condemnation of the tipping system
—said to a reporter:
“The public thinks that we waiters
get rich oft our tips. The public is
very ignorant in this matter. When
I think of its dense ignorance I am
reminded of a political meeting I at
tended last April. There was a chap
at this meeting who knew nothing of
parliamentary procedure, and, besides
that, he was half full. Well, in the
course of the meeting there was a lot
of excitement and shouting. It grew
worse and worse. The chairman, in
the end. had to hammer on the table
and yell:
‘“Order! Order!’
“ ‘Beer for me,’ said the ignorant
young man.”
VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.
Suffered Three Years—Physicians Did
No Good—Perfectly Well After
Using Cuticura Remedies.
“I take great pleasure in informing
you that I was a sufferer of eczema in
a very bad form for the past three
years. I consulted and treated with
a number of physicians in Chicago, but
to no avail. I commenced using the
Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three
months ago, and to-day I am perfectly
well, the disease having left me en
tirely. I cannot recommend the Cuti
cura Remedies too highly to anyone
suffering with the disease that I have
had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18
Crilly Place, Chicago, III., October 2,
1905. Witness: L. S. Berger.”
Bobbin Boys’ Wages.
John B. Lennon, treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, deliv
ered recently an address on strikes.
Turning to the amusing features of
the strike question, Mr. Lennon said:
“I remember a strike o# bobbin
boys, a just strike, and one that suc
ceeded. These boys conducted their
fight well, even brilliantly. Thus the
day they turned out they posted in
the spinning room of their employers”
mill a great placard inscribed with
the words:
“ ‘The wages of sirTTs death, but the
wages of the bobbin boys is worse.’ ”
An Inherited Tendency.
A Cleveland society woman gave a
party to nine friends of her young son,
aged six. To add to the pleasure of
the occasion she had the ices frozen
in the form of a hen and ten chickens.
Each child was allowed to select his
chicken as it was served. Finally she
came to the son of a prominent poli
tician.
“Which chicky will you have, Ber
tie?" she asked.
"If you please, Mrs. H., I think I’ll
take the mamma hen,” was the polite
reply.—Lippincott’s.
Impudence of Hoi Polloi.
A noted English artist was standing
at the edge of the road, waiting for his
horse, and he was dressed in his
usual peculiar style—mustard-colored
riding suit, vivid waistcoat and bright
red tie. A man, who had evidently
been reveling, happened to lurch
round the corner of the street. He
stared at the famous artist for a min
ute in silence, then he touched his cap
and asked in a tone of deep commiser
ation, “Beg pardon, guv’nor, was you
in mournin’ for anybody?”
The Motor Face.
A few days ago a well-known per
sonage was motoring in Derbyshire
when a policeman stopped him, relates
the London Tattler.
“You’ll have to take off that mask,”
said the officer, “it’s frightening every
one who sees it.”
“But I’m not wearing one,” ex
plained the unfortunate offender.
Golf Player Lightning’s Victim.
During a thunderstorm near Glas
gow a golf player named George Har
rie was struck and killed by lightning,
which ripped off his clothing, includ
ing his boots, and extracted all his
teeth. It made a hole three feet deep
where he had been standing.
Sacred Deer of Japan.
Deer are relatively plenty in vari
ous parts of Japan, and in such show
places as Maru and Miyajima are held
as sacred, becoming so tame as to eat
from the hands of visitors. They are
generally smaller in size than the
American deer.
BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.
One of the common symptoms of
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
“Formerly I was a slave to coffee. I
was like a morphine fiend, could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when I did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob
lins, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, so nervous I
could not attend to business. My writ
ing looked like bird tracks, I had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges
tion, heartburn and palpitation of the
heart, constipation, irregularity of the
kidneys, etc.
“Indeed, I began to feel I had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer,
but when a friend advised me to leave
off coffee I felt as if he had insulted
me. I could not bear the idea, it had
such a hold on me and I refused to
believe it the cause.
“But it turned out that no advice wa3
ever given at a more needed time for
I finally consented to try Postum and
with the going of coffee and the com
ing of Postum all my troubles have
gone and health has returned. I eat
and sleep well now, nerves steadied
down and I write a fair hand (as you
can see), can attend to business again
and rejoice that I am free from'the
monster coffee.” •
Ten days’ trial of Postum in place of
coffee will bring sound, restful, re
freshin* sleep. “There’s a Reason.”
Punctured His Eloquence.
A lawyer in Johnstown, N. Y., while
defending a little boy who had been
apprehended in the act of malting a
surreptitious entrance under the fair
grounds fence, drew for the jury a
most pathetic picture of the prisoner's
“poor old widowed mother with the
tears streaming down her face and
her gray head bowed in sorrow at the
thought of her little boy being incar
cerated.” The youthful offender cut
in at this point with “Please, sir, Mr.
Lawyer, my mother ain’t a widow.”
“Shut up, darn you,” said the lawyer.
“I’m trying this case, not you.”—Law

The Revised Psalm.
The father’s* peroration was superb.
“ ‘And departing, leave behind
you,’ ” he concluded, “ ‘footprints on
the sands of—’ ”
But here the son rudely interrupt
ed.
“Footprints?” he sneered. “Who
wants to leave footprints?”
“Then what would you leave, my
boy?” the old -wn inquired.
"Tracks,” said the youth, haughtily.
“Tracks of my 90-horse power racer,
to be sure. Am I a dog or a working
man that I should leave mere foot
prints?”
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
No Peace Conference.
“Are you going to strike, ma?”
asked the little boy. as he tremblingly
gazed upon the uplifted shingle.
“That's just what I’m going to do.”
“Can’t we arbitrate, ma, before you
strike?”
“I am just going to arbitrate,” she
said, as the shingle descended and
raised a cloud of dust from the seat
of a pair of pantaloons—“I am just
going to arbitrate, my son, and this
shingle is the board of arbitration.”
Sheer white goods, in ract, any Hn«
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.
Animal Intelligence in Massachusetts.
John Talbot of Rock Knolls, Mass.,
enjoys the distinction of having a
trained hen that will jump over his
clasped hands, even if held quite high
from the ground. Uncle John trained
the hen himself. A cat is owned by
a Byfield man that will eat raw green
corn, and will even strip down the
husks in the field in an effort to get
the corn.
