STABBED
Il TIMES

New York, Feb2.-Relative have iadenti-
fed the man found dead late Tuesday
in "A vacant lot on East Seventh street,
Gravesend as that OF Nicola Rapetu.
Examination OF the body established the
fact that Rapetti had been murdered.
The deed was done at some distance
from where the body was found
Rapetti was a well-to-do padrone. The
fact that diamond ring and gold watch
which he always wore were not found on
the body, and that his pockets were
empty. although he almost invariably
carried considerable sum OF money sug-
gested at first that robbery was the mo-
tive OF his slayers.
But Capt Harkins. OF the Brooklyn De-
tective bureau. is convinced that revenge
inspired the crime. On the body are
twenty-one stab wounds apparently made
by three daggers OF different sizes, which
leads 10 the belief that at least three men
hacked the body after stunning Rapetti
with blow on the back OF the head
The overcoat and undercoat found on
the body are not cut showing that Rapet-
II was in his shirt sleeves and undoubt-
edy indoors when slain.
Acquaintance OF Rapetti said he was
credited with being In the secret service.
Inspector Flynn. head OF the secret SER
vice I'm this district, is out OF the city, and
the report could not be verified 1t was
reported that he was running down coun-
terfeiters.
James Pelleterri. OF Gravesend avenue
and Neck Road, Rapettis stepfather.
identified the body. His stepson lived
with him but had not been In his home
since the day before Christmas. This
was not considered alarming. as Rapettl
employed from 200 10 800 workmen and
accompanied them wherever Job offered.
His last job was near Danbury. Conn,
whence he departed, presumably for this
city. about two weeks ago. Detectives
Vacchris and Mella have been unable 10
trace HIS movements since then.
From the fact that gunny sacking, ap-
parently blood-stained. and the tracks OF
a wagon were found In the field. the de-
tectixes think Rapetu,s body Xas-Wrap u
ped In gunny sacking and carried to the
field. which Is about seven blocks from
Pelleterri's home.
A half-brother OF Rapettl told the police
that Rapetti usually carried large sums
of money with which TO pay workmen
whom he engaged at the employment
agency OF Frank Moscardello. No. 40
Mulberry street. Moscardello said that he
he'd not seen Rapstti for a mounth.
The condition OF the. body indicates that
the murder was done about a week ago
Detective Petrosini. chkf OF the Italian
squad Of the Manhattan Central office.
was detailed to the case last night.
1t was said that he had valuable infor-
nation in his possession which would
assist the Brooklyn detectives In their
hunt.

FOOD OR
STIMULANT.

Ask your doctor if when
he orders a patient to drink
lots of pure milk he advises
the addition of a large
quantity of whiskey. He'll
tell you mo" very emphati-
cally. Yet there are people
who, when ordered to get
SCOTS Emulsion, will accept
some wine, cordial or extract
of cod liver oil and think it is
the same thing or better. If
you want and need cod liver
oil in its best, purest and
most easily digested form, get
SCOTS Emulsion. If you
want whiskey, that's another
matter, but don't look for the
same results.

BUILDING
TRADES
ACTIVE

Nineteen hundred and five was a record
breaker in the building trades, as In
nearly all other forms OF Industrial en-
deavor.
In April. 1905. Bradstrect's, as a result
Of a special investigation into the subject,
gave reports from 1855 cities and towns
in>the United States, all or nearly OF them
going TO show that immense operations
were contemplated, and that an aggre-
gate of probably s60O.o0o0o0 would be ex-
pended I'm this country in that year
Now that the work has been done and
something like a grand total is obtainable.
II Is found that the amount actually ex-
pended or provided for in that-year- at
loo cities. from which reports have so far
been received was actually s7l1.l23.74l. as
against 1905. 16S,92l expended I'm the year
1904 There is here indicated a gain of
406 per cent, I'm 1905 over 1904.
There is very general agreement that
another active year is likely in the build
ing trade. Barring unexpected labor or
financial troubles the feeling very gener-
ally is that 1906 will equal or exceed 1905.
Illustrative of this are the replies from 15g
cities, OF which l02 report probable in
crease in the amount expended, while
thirty-hve report that fully as much will
be constructed. and only twenty-five re-
port n decrease likely,
