DEAD; HUSBAND HELD
POLICE BREAK IN, FIND CORPSE,
MAKE ARREST.
Woman Was Asphyxiated and Body
Showed Bruises-New York
Italian.

NEW YORK. August A.-When the
police of the East 1O4th street station
broke down the door leading into the
little apartment of BolderascO Delde-
masseO on the third floor CT the tenement
house at :,32 East 10th street yesterday
morning, they found the man moaning
over the dead body of his wife. Josephine
The body of the woman was bruised, and
the police arrested the husband on sus-
picion. He wept when they led him from
| he little fiat and took him to the station
All Saturday night the other tenants
in the house heard means coming from
the DeldemaSseO fiat. Several of them
went to the fiat and knocked on the
door. but the Deldemasseos would not
answer their questions nor stop the moan
ing. So when daylight came the neigh
bors. among whom was Deldemasseos
brother-in-Iaw, James Lobelo, decided to
tell the police.
Deldemasseo Dazed.
The police quickly opened the door of
DeldemasseO's fiat. DeldemasseO was in his
bedroom and near him lay the body of
his wife. DR.. Romano of 3O1 East 10th
street was summoned, and after looking
at the body of the woman said she had
been dead some hours The husband
of explanation when urged to do SO by
the police and his neighbors. He con-
tinued to moan.
In the station house Deldemasseo
crouched back in his cell. groaning and
weeping. until the police were glad to
hustle him off TO the Harlem court. There
they told the magistrate about the bruises
on Mrs. Deldemasseo's body, and the
magistrate committed the prisoner to the
TOmbs without bail to await the action
of the coroner.
Talks on Way to Tombs.
Then at last Deldemasseo broke down and
began to talk. When he realized that he
was on the way to the Tombs the prisoner
swore that he had no idea what caused
his wife's death. His wife's relatives, he
said, had died of consumption and he
thought that might be the cause of his
wifes death. He declared that he loved
his wife and that he had not done any
thing that would cause or even hasten
her DEATH
The neighbors. however, told a different
story. Some of them said that Deldemas-
SEQ had been known to beat his wife. and
that the pair often fought out their diff
heard of a row in the Deldemasseo fiat
In several days. The body of the woman
was ordered to the morgue. where Dr. |
schultz performed an autopsy yesterday |
afternoon.
The physician said after the autopsy |
that death had been caused by asphyxia- !
ti0n, but he was not prepared to say |
whether 1t was due to natural causes or
not. he added that a person who died Of |
an epileptic fit would present the same |
appearance in death as one who died of
asphyxiation.
The coroner ordered the husband COM |

It's Economical.

Van Camp's-with all OF its good
ness-is cheaper than milkman's milk.
It's as thick as thick cream. So
thick that you add one part water for
coffee. Yet it. doesn't cost half what
you pay your milkman for cream.
Add two parts water and you have
rich milk The cost of such milk, when
you buy Van Camps by the case, runs
about six cents per quart.
Then you have no waste-no milk
left over. That saving in year is enor-
nous.
And Van Camps means cow in
your kitchen Rich milk or cream al
ways on tap. And always fresh-always
the same.
Yet such milk in such shape costs
you actually less than raw milk bought
as you want it.

ATLANTIC CITY WIDE OPEN
Excise Commission and Grand jury
Inquiry Barren of Results.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j.. August "a
There was nOsevidence of any closing of
saloons and drinking places yesterday
in spite Of the continued investigation
of the state excise commission and the
special session of the grand jury, which
WAS held last Friday There was not a
saloon in all the city that was not doing
business. although with the front doors
closed and the blinds shut.
There were about 100000 visitors here
and any number of them that awaited
themselves of the wide-Open policy of
the cafes and saloons. But with it all
there was not the slightest sign OF dis

Some of the amusement men were dis

would be met with prompt arrest and
proprietOrs would be confined in the city

AS for the milk that you drink, and
your children drink. there can be no
question about it, Raw milk, like raw

Every drop OF raw milk carries dan

this danger will not take that risk.
But Van Camps is not solely for

SMALL GIRLS WARDROBES

1t is astonishing TO find at what small
,utlay little girls can now be smartly
and daintily clad. For no longer is ii
considered i'm good taste to have small
girls resemble fashion plate figures OIL
French dolls. for the styles for misses
are simple and on good lines. and the
trimmings are a secondary consideration
Naturally. the absence of any elabora-
lion has materially lessened the labor OF
both sewing and laundering. advantages
mothers doubtless appreciate.
They will bless the name of the in
,entor of the jumper frock, for not in
many years has such a pretty and con-
yenient garment been popular.
II has reduced the needs of the laundry
more than one-half. for with clean
guimpes the same frock can be kept fresh
looking for several days. Another sad-
vantage these dresses have is that they
are so simply constructed that an mex
perienced sewer can make them.
No Frills Worn.
As frills and furbelows are only con-
spicuous by their absence in the ward

style is usually becoming to the average

1t will be seen that so far the suggested
wardrobe has not called for any great ex-
penditure of money. and yet 1t is THOR
Oughly up-tO-date. Fortunately, the same
economy may be practiced on the outer
wrap. for it is quite possible to make this
important garment at home. an accom-
plishment that would not have been at

Then there is the Little Red Riding Hood
cloak equally simple to make. and it re-
quires about the same amount of material
and even less skill in sewing than the box
coat.
Hats should not be the expense they
often are, now that it is possible to get
bows tied at the counter for any person
who knows how to sew can add these
decorations to frame and make an at

ribbons are comparatively cheap. and
handsome sashes are no more necessity;
so their cost can be eliminated from the
list of necessary expenditures.
