Chicago, 111., Aug. 29. -When Harry Sidders put his strong right arm around Miss Emma Anderson, 99 .Daw- son street, the young woman said "Don't!" Then she heard something crack, and she found out afterward, she says, that the hug had fractured a rib and broken one of her arms. "It was fierce, judge," Miss Anderson said yesterday to Justice Martin, Lefore whom she appeared to prosecute Sidders on a charge of assault and battery. -"He was worse than a bear -I suppose." Miss Maggie Elton, 266 Dayton street, appeared with tne complainant, and told of an experience she once had with Sid- ders. He had kissed her, she said, and incidentally bitten i,er cheek. Miss Elton showed the court the scar in order to support her evidence. According to the story told by Miss Anderson, Sidders called upon her several days ago and the bieakage resulted. She did not say whether the hug was author- ized, but she gave the impression that it v. as not. did not think it was possible to be all broken up by a hug," said Miss Anderson. "I told him to 'go "Tway, and then I went to Dr. Wheritt, who told me of the 'injuries I had received." The physician corroborated this part of the evidence. "It isn't possible," declared Sidders. "The woman hugged we voluntarily, and I even tried to get away from her. I told her to keep away from me." "As you say the woman forced you to do these things I believe you have been been sufficiently punished," said Justice Martin, addressing Sidders. "I will fine yen the court costs." ROOSEVELT ANXIOUS Over the New England Agitation for Reciprocity With Canada. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 29. -President Roosevelt is alarmed by the magnitude of the demand for Canadian reciprocity in New England, which the national ad- ministration has so far ignored, as far as definite action is concerned, and will take the matter up in his letter of ac- ceptance. From what standpoint he will deal with it and what recommendation he may make is not disclosed at present. The President's idea is, however, that eomethingetaust be done. He expressed the fear that New England would show a great Republican defection, especially in Massachusetts, due to the scant rec- ognition given reciproeity in the Chicago platform. The issue was the subject of a long amd grave discussion at Sagamore Hill to -day on the part of the President, Sen- ator Lodge, of Massachusetts. and Sen- ator Aldrich, of Rhode Island. Senator Lodge endeavored to persuade the President hat he had no reason to feel any alarm about New England. Senator Aldrich argued vigorously ms a spokesman for protected interests of -New England against any concession to the recipocity shouters of Boston, and urged that the party, and the President, too, were committed to the "stand -pat" course.

Aug. 29. --During the Grand Trunk Pacifie party's visit to Winnipeg a deputation from the council of the Winnipeg Board of Trade was received by Messrs. C. M. Hays and F. W. Morse,, President and Vice -President, respect- ively, of the G. T. II. Mr. If. W. Hutchineon, Preeident of the Board of Trade said that on behalf of the hoard of Trade he wished to sug- gest that it would not only be just in it- self but advantageous to the new corn - 'n' in a business sense that they should whenever possible. let their eontmets to Canadian eontritetors resident irt the weet, and Also that the isuppiles should, ell things being equal, be purchased in the west. Mr. Hays, replyieg, said. the Grand Trunk Pacific intended to do at least 50 rer cent. of the business of Winnipeg, end thet it was easier to do business with friends than with enemies. Their policy wee not at all one of antagonism, but, on the contrary, all things being equal, they would give the west all the business they could, both regarding con- tracts and furnishing of supplies. it should be borne in mind, however, that building a railway was a business pro- position, and sentimental considerations could not be allowed too much, weight. Western people, however, had a right to ask for this, and he would see that they were not disappointed. As to the time when they expected to have the road built, Mr. Hays said he could give no definite time, but work would be pushed as quickly as men and material could do it, implying that ability to work quickly Would have a great deal to do with the awarding of contracts.

Rad Disclosed the Secrets of the Alleged "Black Hand." New York report; Salvatore Bos- soto, 18 years old, was shot to death in his father's restaurant on Park street, by Carlo Rossati, 35 years old, early to- day, because he had disclosed to the the police Secrets of the alleged, "Black Hand." The father was knocked down and choked into insensibility by the slayer, who then ran down the street, followed by a great raob. Italians to the number of one thousand. later attacked Elizabeth Street Police Station, hurled missiles at the police and prisoner, in- juring two detectives and one uoliceman. They would have killed Rossati had not the reserve police from two station houses arrived and used clubs and their fists on the mob and threatened, to shoot. According to the police the murder was deliberately planned by an organ- ized gang, and this gang is alleged to have sent to Toronto for Rossati, who arrived hero last night. After his arrival he WAS seen about Mulberry Bend with Italians, and because of his immense sta- tue 'attracted attention. Bossoto is an enemy of these organized gangs and his son inherited the enmity. When not studying music young Bossoto helped about the restaurant Several weeks ago he learned that the naurderous gang about Mulberry Bend had planned to rob a number of men, who were coming through New York, end who had e114 gaged board in the lodging houses over the Bossoto restaurant. Young Bossoto went to the -police and asked protection for the men, and soon au Italian detec- tive had arrested twelve suspicious char- acters who were bold until the miners had taken a ship for their homes: Once out of jail it is said the gang determined upon Bossoto's death. Early to -day Ros- sati entered the restaurant, and when' approached by the elder Bossoto said he wanted nothing. As Bossoto was about to close the place he asked Rossati to leave. The latter became insolent and re- fused. ' • Young Bossoto, who was in .the kit- chen, heard his father and the man in an argument. He came out, and up to this time the man had made no demon - straiten of violence, brit the instant he saw young Bossoto, Rossati drew a pis- tol from his pocket and shot the youth. The bullet struck the boy between the eyes, and he fell, dying instantly, Res - anti then, according tothepolice, struck the elder Bossoto.with his fist, knocking him down, and started to run, but was captured before he had gone two blocks. On Sunday the Bessetos found on their door the "Bridge of Death," a cabalistic sign of the Sicilians which is said to be O threat of death. The elder Bossoto looked upon this as a joke at the time. At the police station Rossati said lit- tle beyond declaring he shot in self-de- fence. BIG STRIKE AT NEW YORK.
