RICH BRIDEGROOM SLAIN
BY MALTA IN BROOKLYN
Adele Ciampa Found Murdered This
Morning Within Block of
His Home.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-Abele Ciampa,
who six months ago married the daugh-
ter OF Romer Salvatore. one of the
wealthiest Italians in New York, was
found murdered within a block Of his
home. 24S6 Eighty-flfth street, Brook
Ign, early today. and the police are en-
phatic in the declaration that he was
slain for revenge. and that he was a
victim of the malta.
The belief of the police Is that Ciampa,
at some time in his life. gave informe-
ton TO the police against the murderous
society, and that he paid the penalty
when he was hurrying home to his
young wife,
The fact that Ciampa is the second
man murdered by the malta gang in the
same section of Brooklyn within the
last few weeks has produced the theory
that the murderers who slew Pelleteri
the New York contractor. whose BODY
was found in a swamp near Sheepshead
Bay. are the same men who killed

The speakers voiced an appeal for a

most difficult to annul the marriage re-

Bishop Doane presented the views of
the church conference to the conven-
ton He declared the sense OF the
body he represented was that no other
cause than post-nuptial infdeHty-the
sin of adultery-shouId dissolve the mar
riage bond. He admitted it hardly pos
sible that legislation would be secured
that would take this high ground but
he believed the congress had moral
Foundation and was concerned with the
motives of men and women.
We should have some measure. "
said Bishop DOane, that should arrest
this flood tide of divorce that is pol

thought. When men and women un-

gravest cause. much will have been ac-

NEW YORK, Feb. 20--The decision

general that it would have a far-reach-
ing effect.
\ legal and railroad authority Of
the highest position FASTENED TO quiet
these fears in the following statement:
This decision need cause no alarm,
on the contrary its practical results will
be beneficial TO stockholders interests
precisely as has been every step taken
toward bringing the operation of the
railroads down to a thoroughly scien-
ti1c and impersonal basis.
The prohibition os carriers of COM
mOdities from engaging in the business
of dealing in or vending the same will
result eventually in greater profits TO
both the business of transporting and
the business of dealing, without prevent
ing the thorough harmony of operation
between vender and carrier. Where a
peculiar situation exists as obtains in
the case OF the coal business, especially
anthracite. there can be no cOnfisCa-
ton OF the property owned by the
various coal companies and there is
nothing whatever in the decision which
Gan be distorted into such a construc-
