Brooklyn Italian Suspected of
Giving Information to United
States Secret Service Agents
Pays the Dread Penalty
FOUND WITH BULLET
WOUND IN BREAST
Knowing That He Is Marked
for Death He Prepares Too
Late to Escape Avengers by
Fleeing From the Country
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Another start
ling Malta murder, now believed to be
the tragic sequel to the CHASTITY barrel
murder mystery, has occurred in Brook
lyn. The victim was Salvador EspeciaIe,
a refined and cultured man, supposed
to have been a secret agent of the Gov
ernment working to detect counterfeit
ers. The scene of the crime was in
front of what had been counterfeiters'
den at Main and York streets. 1t is
within a few blocks of the scene of two
other murders Not far away is the
dingy saloon in Navy street where
Nicholas Parella, with a threat of death
from the black hand hanging over him,
was last seen alive.
Vengeance, planned with summary
deadliness in the Malta way that is be-
coming only too familiar, was undoubt-
edly back of the murder. Silence was
maintained to-day by the secret service
bureau as to whether Especiale had
been in it's employ and had died mar
tyr to duty. But here are the significant
facts; Especiale made his appearance
in the Italian colony in lower Fulton
street about a year ago. Two months
later the United States authorities raid
ed a counterfeiters' den at so Main
street. 1t was there that Especiale
lived. With others he was arrested, but
a little later he went free. The others
are serving long prison terms.
1t is believed that the criminals still
free, with whom he had been asso-
ciating, discovered that he was a secret
agent of United States detectives. He
knew this. for he had prepared for
flight. 1t was learned to-day that he
had purchased ticket for Naples, had
packed all of his belongings and had
contemplated leaving the country next
Tuesday. Instead. with a bullet in his
breast, his body lies in the Brooklyn
Morgue.
Two men were arrested. One had a
bullet wound in the shoulder. believed
to have been received in the fight with
Especiale.

Foxy Grandpa" is a musical comedy
scinuIating with bright specialties and
an endless chain of mirth and action.
From beginning TO finish its theme is
refreshing. and those that went early
enough last night to secure seats at the
California pronounced it a winner
and all that the term implies. William
A. Brady presents the production, with
Joseph Hart and Carrie de Mar as
stars. What the audience expected of

Of the willy grandDarent furnished a
character new and pleasing TO the pop
ular idea Of the funny artists creation.
The comedy is a vehicle for much of
the musical order and for an abund-
ance Of clever work. Still, a distinct
plot may be followed throughout in
which there are intricate situations and
a happy ending. Foxy Grandpa is des-
ignated as GOodleby Goodman, a man
who believes that boys viii be boys.
The boys are Club and Bunt, two
youngsters known out OF the realm of
playdom as Harry Pilcer and Bobby
Harrington. OF them too much cannot
be said. Both have remarkably strong
voices, are Vivacious and ably support

usually return as a boomerang and add
a marked life TO the piece. Miss de Mar

Santa Fe Proposes a Remark
able Venture in the His
tory of the Development
of the Western Lines
WORK is SCHEDULED
FOR KINGMAN GRADE
Purpose of a Recent Visit
of President Ripley to
the Arizona Region Shows
Intention of the Company
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 13.-From
what may be considered authorized
sources comes the statement that the
Santa Fe company is preparing TO con-
struct one of the longest series of cut
offs ever known in the history of West
ern railrcading. When completed it
will cut many towns off the present
main line a2d traverse that which is
now isolated country.
Belen. n. NJ, is not the only point
along the line where the Santa Fe in
tends shortening it's mileage, Besides
that notable cutoff there will be an
other and a longer one. This, accord
ing to reports, will leave the present
main line at Holbrcok, Arizona, and
run southwesterly through the Bill
Williams fork of the Colorado River
country, spanning the latter in the vi
cinity of Parker. Thence the route will
be northeasterly, direct across the des-
ert Of Cadiz, in San Bernardino County.
The last named cutoff is intended to
be the main line of the Santa Fe and
will be surveyed and built for the ex-
press purpose of cutting down the time
between the Pacific Coast and the East
and incidentally will open a new and
rich mineral and agricultural district.
The cutoff will avoid the running
through the numerous mountain ranges
of Northern Arizona, which the present
line Of the Santa Fe traverses. The
great Kingman grade and San Fran
cisco mountain grade will be things
of the past for the through trains and
also the heavy grade and wide detour
lust west of Needles will be avoided.
When President E. P. Ripley was in
the West a few weeks ago, with Divis-
ion Superintendent Denair of Needles
and General Manager Wells, he went
off on mining inspection trip. AT least
that was the statement given out by
the officers. But 1t is said that their
real destination was the country which
the new route will traverse, and ii Is
further alleged that they laid out some
desidable town site. For months sew
eral gangs of surveyors have been at
work in the neighborhood OF the pro-
posed route ard there is little doubt
that the suspicion OF work upon the
Relen cutoff was due to the company

MY young friends, 1 warn you. be-

The occasion was the twenty-first an

tendance, and the members of the order
listened attentively to the address of
the reverend father.
With earnest vigor Father Caraher
appealed 30 his Juvenile congregation to
look TO the highest and cultivate the
most beautiful ideals. Besides warning
his hearers against attending theaters
on a Sunday and going to Sunday ex-
customs and picnics. Father Caraher
said:

against evil companionship and company that Is
suspicious. Remember. my young friends that
the company OF young woman may be her

stamp you with nobility of character. that you
may be honest to the last degree and in every
sense be truthful and scorn anything that is

to emuate the virtues of the Blessed Virgin
and thus ennoble yourselves In this life and be
prepared for the hereafter.
Father Caraher spoke of the dogma of

manner in which it was believed In for
many ages by the Catholics, and said
it was only defined as a dogma in the

Education is the remedy against ignorance
and bigotry and mental narrowness and per
verse evil doing. But il would be great mis-
take to imagine that education Is the peculiar
heritage of this age il Is the aspiration OF the
human heart The question OF education in
school. college or library Is the great question
before the world to-day.
1t is not the millions Of people that will make
our country-it is not the number OF bushels
of wheat which export. the factories and the
other industries that are growing up In our
land that will make or US nation: IL Is not
to these that we to confide our country. but
the question is: What kind Of men and women
are able TO put forth? What kind OF a
civilization is TO he ours? What kind OF minds
are TO be those OF our citizens2 Then the ques-
tion is How shall we instruct those to whom
we look the hope for the future Of society2
The election then took place. with the
following results: Prefect. James r.

OLD LETTERS
OF INTEREST
Former Persian Minister Pratt
is Rewarded by His Research
in the Archives Of France
CURIOUS PAPERS FOUND
One Letter Gives Details of
the Bequest by Louis XIV of
Louisiana Territory to Spain

PARIS. Dec 13.-Under the authority
Of NJ. Delcasse, Minister of Foreign At
fairs, E. Spencer Pratt, former United
States Minister 10 Persia, who is now
residing here, is making extensive re-
searches in the archives Of the Foreign
Office relative to the transfer Of the
province of Louisiana by France to
the United States. In speaking of his
Investigations Pratt said:
"One Of the most curious documents
found is an autograph letter of Louis
XIV, giving away the last Louisiana
territory to his cousin, then King of
Spain, as a present. The fact of this
gift has been known heretofore only
in a general way, but the text of the
letter discIoses the casual nature Of
the gift, and also the fact that Louis
XIV previously offered Louisiana TO
Great Britain, which refused to accept
it."
The letter Of the King of Spain ac-
cepting the present, said Pratt, refers
10 the further strengthening of the
union Of the two nations by number
of royal intermarriages. Later docu-
ments show the recession of Louis
lana by Spain TO France and gives
minute details Of the sale by Napoleon
of the province TO the United States.

Americans Drink the Most Coffee.
(Successl

The consumption of coffee in the United
States has increased till it is now cstimat-
ed that we consume little over II pounds
of coffee per capita annually.
An idea of the proportion Of this con-
sumption may be formed when it is stated
that Great Britain consumes less than
three-quarters of a pound per individual
annually; Italy. less than one pound; Aus
tria- Hungary, two pounds; France, four
and one-half pounds; and Germany, six
pounds. But we are not the largest cOf.
Ifee-consuming country per capita, al
though, judging by our increasing con,
sumption, we are fast approaching it. For
the year 1901, Monsieur Lecombe, the Eu-
ropeon statistician, gives Denmark as the
largest coifee-consuming country in pro.
portion TO its population. His figures are
5.S7 Kilograms per inhabitant, while Nor.
way and Sweden are placed next on the
| list, with an annual consumption of 4.63
and four kilograms, respectively, and the
United States next, with consumption
| OF 3.95 Kilograms; but, for some unknown
reason, he omits Holland, which is known
to be large coffce-consuming country A
parliamentary paper containing an official
document on tea and coffee, in 1906, gives
the consumption Of coffee in Holland fol
that year as 1857 pounds per capita, while
9.S1 pounds Is given Us the amount con.
sumed in tho United States. Our rate OF
Increased consumption Is shown, however
