FAITH HEALER
LURED TO DEATH
Another Murder Laid at the
Doors of a BIaCkmaiI-
ing Gang
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 24-In the mys-
terious trip made to Sicily. his native land,
last year, only returning here about three
months ago, the detectives have lost the
clue to the murderer Of Nincenzo Bonani,
a faith healer and former Franciscan
Monk, whose dead and mutilated body
was found last evening in deserted room
in a tenement in East 29th street
A police net has been thrown about
the sicilian quarters and every effort is
being made to run down the perpetrators
of the crime.
Bonani, the police declared. was ured
from his home in Mulberry street to his
death. The crime, they say, was one Of
vengeance. It is attributed to one Of the
Italian blacksmith gangs. In the multi
alton of Bonanis body the police say there
are indications that he was intended as a
warning to others and tell a mute story
that he had spied and had gained secrets.
Detectives believe the room where the
body was found which had been rented a
week ago by two Sicilians but never oc-
cupied, had been prepared as a trap. they
have a good description of the men vino
rented the room and are hunting for
them. All that is known Of Bonani was
told by his nephew, Nicto Cisismondo.
The latter said Bonani had been
Franciscan Monk. but his monastery was
abolished by the government in Sicily
Bonani then became a carpenter. He came
70 this country 70 years ago. About a
year ago he became a faith healer with a
good following Then came his trip to
Sicily and his murder.

STONE COMP PANIES
In "COMBINE?''
Allegation Made by John G.
Gray, Street and Sewer
Director

Determined TO break upi-what they
term a combine" between the two
stone companies that have heretofore
supplied the department with crushed
stone. the street and Sewer Dirertars
this morning instructed the street
commissioners to ignore the companies
as far as possible In selecting crushed
stone. The action followed notification
from the Delaware Granite and Mining
Company and the Stewart & Donahue
Company, Of Augustine, of an advance
In the price of crushed stone from $3.50
a ton to $3.50. delivered, to take effect
April 80, or S1.00 at the quarry, an ad-
vance Of 80 cents. AS the department
usually takes the stone at the quar-
ries the advance is appreciable. The
70-oent price was itself an advance, II
Is asserted.
The similarity Of the companies
prices at once brought the protest from
director John G.. Gray that they were
In a combine" and his motion that
The street commissioner should look
elsewhere for stone was passed. Get
the stone from other people, even If II
costs more" he said. THE people have
got The idea that all they have to dc
Is to get together and get us where
they want US. Wen let them see If we
PANT break up this combine"
President Thomas Melvin and Direc-
tor George Sparks similarly viewed the
proposed advance.
William Carswen. superintendent OF
the Delaware Granite and Mining
Company, who was present, objected e
anv intimation of a combine" II
Mr.. Gray will investigate he will o'
satisfied that such is not the case" hi
asserted hotly.
The following was the Stewart 4
Donohue Company's explanation 10
the advance: Gas a result Of the IN
crease in the cost of material used b!
us in operating our quarries. etc, W.
