Alleged Pittsburgh Leader of Syndicate Goes to Jail Under $5,000 Bond, At least six additional arrests, not in Pittsburgh, but in immediately adjacent districts, are imminent as the result of the latest exposure of Black Hand methods. Prospective victims, the recipients of letters, are no longer the most frightened. Members of the criminal band are reported to be terror stricken as the result of the knowledge that Italian detectives are working as trusted colleagues ia the midst of the dreaded organization. Orazio Runfola, the Penn avenue tobie maker, arrested Saturday night, said to be leader of the band, was more anxious yesterday to prove that he had nothing to do with information leading to the arrest of Pettino Galbo at Meadville, than in establishing his own innocense. His excited gestures when sitting in United States Marshal Stephen Stone's office indicated he stood in greater fear of the possible vengeance of the society than of any punishment justice might exact.

"I not know Galbo," he declared, "and give no word to police. They make big; mistake to arrest me for Black Hand business. I am honest people and work to make living." Runfola was held by United States Commissioner W.T. Lindsey under Jo.ouu bail for a further hearing-July 6.

Conway, was confident at first of securing the amount, but was returned to Jail at o'clock. Detectives were ready to bring an additional charge if he secured the desired amount. Black Hand Against Black Hand. Scores of Italian detectives are scattered through every Italian settlement ot the district. Superintendent F.

P. Di-maio, of the Pinkerton detective agency, has 16 men at work, many of them members of the Black Hand society. The Government secret service has others on the job and the Perkins agency has a dozen operatives of the Italian-American Protective association, formerly of New York, working in the Pittsburgh district. Runfola admits having corresponded with Salvatoria Lima, a leader of the Black Hand arrested in Ohio, but says it was only an exchange of frien.lly communications. Detectives say he is a close friend of the man and also of Antonio and Coligero Vlcario, arrested by Postoffice Inspectors Owens and Pate at Dennison.

June S. Runfola is said to be a member of the second order of Black Hand, or the PIcciotta, and had charge of the Pittsburgh district. He gave orders, according to detectives, to the "Youth of Honor," but received instructions from those belonging to the Camorista. He was the "capo," or head man, for Western Pennsylvania. Blackmailing Is Stopped.

Publicity given to Black Hand investigations recently has resulted in entire suspension of activities. Many wealthy Italians who received threatening letters recently Immediately turned them over to Government officials or detective agencies. Runfola, whose alleged underlings are expected to be taken into custody soon, is declared to have been the brains of recent efforts to extort money, according to iPostoffice Inspector R. M. Hosford, of Cincinnati, and other officials.

He evidently realized he wa3 in danger, for he had been receiving letters under the name of Cardlnale for some time. When Pinkerton Superintendent Dimaio asked him why he changed his name he said the assumed cognomen was his wife's. He afterward begged the detective to protect him from the Government.

It is reported that the Amalgamated men of the Shenango tin mill here, voted at a secret meeting last Saturday to strike against the introduction of the open shop policy.

Aeronauts Have an Exciting Time in Avoiding Clouds and Angry Crowd, BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

ST. LOUIS, June 21. John Berry, winner of the recent Indianapolis balloon race, and M. A. Haimann, who ascended here yesterday in the balloon Melba, returned to-day from Wrights, 111., where they landed after an exciting trip and after breaking up a ball game.

At the start their course was to the northwest, but a change in wind sent them northeastward toward a bank of electrically-charged clouds. They escaped this danger by rising to a height of 10,000 feet. Shortly before landing the drag rope bowled over a baseball player as he was about to make a catch. The batsman scored and the crowd chased the balloon, trying to catch the drag rope, which the aeronauts were forced to haul up into the basket Therapeutic Nihilism Will Be Result of New Medical Theories, Homeopath Says President of American Institute Makes Spme Strong Statements at Detroit, BY 'ASSOCIATED PRESS. June 21.

-Christian Science, the movement, soul cure, osteopathy, mental healing and attempts to cure disease by the laying on of hands, were all denominated as loud, emphatic pretests against the abuse or drugs, by Prc-sident William D. Foster, of the American Institute of Homeopathy, in his address to-night before 1,500 homeopathic physicians at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Homeopathy. "The therapeutic pendulum has oscillated from the one extreme of massive doses of the days of Paracelsus to the opposite extreme of no druis of the European universities of to-tlay," said Dr. Foster. "The ultra scientific medical schools of the in imitation of the German universities, have ceased teaching materia medica and are rapidly falling into iherapcutic nihilism.

"These schools lay great upon i the teaching of pathology, bacteriology and microscopy, and he use of the anU- toxins ani specific but Ignore i the internal use of curative remedies. The public niir.d has been much occupied by the exploitations of tne efficacy of Xreventive measures." Church Should Emulate Standard Oil Methods, Declares a Preacher Octopus, While Doing Many Things Unworthy, Is Good Exemplar, He Avers, STPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. MASSILLOX, June 21. "The Christian church should imitate the Standard Oil Company, -r-said Rev. Floyd I.

Beck-with. of Canton, a Baptist minister, who preached here last night at the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church. "The manner in which it has been organized, so that it accomplishes its purpose with the minimum waste, is worthy of emulation. It does many things that should not be copied, but in most respects it is a worthy exemplar. While the church does not dare to lose sight of its purpose of evangelization, it must have auxiliary connections to catch those sinners who might otherwise miss salvation." HOUSE CONCURS IN SENATE AMENDMENT.

Census Applicants Must Take Examination in States in Which They Reside. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. WASHINGTON. June 21. Availing themselves of the presence of a quorum, the leaders of the House to-day obtained action upon several important matters of legislation.

Principal among these was the conference report on the bill for the taking of the thirteenth census, and with respect to that measure the debate hinged on the Senate amendment requiring that applicants for appointment must take the examinations in the States or territories in which they profess to live and that they must have had at least one year's actual domicile therein previous to such examination. The amendment was concurred in, but all other amendments were disagreed to and the bill was again sent to conference. The Senate resolution providing for the continuance of unexpended balances in connection with certain river and harbor improvements also was adopted after lively discussion. Messrs. Ta.wney, of Minnesota; Fitzgerald, of New York, and Sherley, of Kentucky, sought in vain to induce Mr.

Alexander, of New York, in charge of the resolution, to let the matter go over until Thursday, These objectors refused unanimous' consent to take the resolution up, but a viva voce vote got it before the House under a suspension of the rules. you'll be in the Rocky Mountains.
