BLACK HAND NOW THREATEN SCHOOLS Want Custom of Reading Bibles in the Schools Abolished Intense excitement and indignation has seized the residents of the Borough of Alliance, comprising Northampton and Siegfried, over a number of Black Hand threats to blow letters, up it the is school stated, houses. been These sent to members of the School Board, threatening first to blow up the new Third Ward building, unless the custom of reading the Bible in the schools is abolished speedily. According to a regulation of the School Board Bible must be read once a day in every school. There was this, however, to the threat; It stated that the school house would not be blown up during school hours, while the children were there, but at a time when it was empty. The threat is only to destroy the property, not to kill anybody.

This humane proviso was evidently made by the threateners because their own children attend the schools and might be killed or hurt if the school houses were blown up during school hours. The sending of the Black Hand letters, reading even as they do, has aroused not only anger, but fear also. It is thought that some desperate character or characters might actually dynamite the building and cause not only the destruction of property, but the loss of life. One of the teachers said if worse came to worse she hoped she might be blown up with a Bible in her hands. The new Third Ward building has 10 rooms and was completed last year at a cost of $40,000.

Mr. Billheimer, the superintendent of the intermediate grade, is the teacher in charge of the schools in this edifice. There is an enrollment in its schools of upwards of 300 pupils. It is thought by some that this lat est attempt at terrorism is another outcrop by the same kind of Black Hand ruffians who threatened the destruction of the Lawrence cement plant at Siegfried last summer. thorough investigation will be made both by the local authorities and the U.

S. government inspectors. It is not the intention of the School Board to abolish the reading of the Bible. Beautiful Musical Service.
