ROBBERY MOTIVE
FOR BRUTAL CRIME

Nurse Killed In New York
tenement.

NEW YORK. Jan 2I--PoliCe Captain
Carey, in charge OF the homicide bu-
reau, today declared that Salvatore
SCaIpOne. his young wife. Felicia Maria
and the trained nurse, ConCetti Martins,
were ssssssinated in the ScaIpOne home
IN a lower East Side tenement, BY rob
bers, who gained entrance into their
apartments in the guise Of friends
Twenty detectives and as many more
uniformed policemen have been detailed
on the case and tLey are securing the
neighborhOod IN an effort to run down
the mUrderers who committed one OF
the most brutal crimes New York has
known for years
The police discovered today IN going
through the ScaIpone fat, On the top
floor Of the crowded tenement building,
that everything Of value had been stCl-
en-; that FIVE diamond rings had been
torn from pretty Mrs Scalpone's hands
Until the discovery Of the robbery,
the police were inclined o believe the
triple murder rad been committed by
q jealous sutton for Mrs ScalPone's
hand
From the evidence they have obtained
the police believe the mUTdeTeTs knock
ed on the door, which was answered by
Mrs Sea Ipone, who was knocked down
with N iron bar Her heavy hair pre-
vented her skull from being fractured.
and she evidently rose TO face her as
ssiIant. who cut her throat from ear

ScalpOne, hearing the noise, rushed
TO ais wife's aSSlStaDCe, and was killed
with repeated blows over the head His
crushed head shows the force OF the
lows The trained nurse IN another
room VAS killed with an iron bar. Not
g tenant IN the crowded building has
been found who would admit hearing
a scream OF the sound Of a falling body
in the Sea Ip0ne fat
That the murder was evidently com
UiJJed BY some one who knew the dead
people is evidenced by the fact that
ScalpOne kept a ferocious bulldog IN
the fat. and that no one heard the dos
bark.

IN Little Italy.
Two bloody towels. found IN the kitch-
sn, prove, the police say, that two
persons were implicated in the murders.

DEACON HAD A WORD TO SAY
Francis Wilson's Story Apropos OF
enforcement Of Law Against
Children on Stage.

Francis Wilson, the comedian,
said at a dinner in New York,
apropos of the law that forbade the
performance of his play, "The Bach
elor's Baby"
"The law against child labor is an
excellent one, but it is an abuse of
this law to forbid children, properly
protected to appear on the stage.
"The best of things are open to
abuse, you know. Even prayer meet
ings! William Spargus rose in
prayer meeting one night and said
he desired to tell the dear friends
present of the great change of heart
that had come over him, so that he
now forgave, fully and freely, Dea-
con Jones for the horse he had sold
him.
Deacon Jones was too shocked
at first to reply. He soon recovered
himself, however, and he rose in his
pew and said:
"T am, indeed, glad, dear Chris
,tian friends, to have gained Brother
William Spargus' forgiveness, but
all the same he amt paid me for the
boss YETI"

FRIEND ACROSS THE WAY
The Serious Man Steps Over and
Gives Him Three Lumps
of Sugar.

"Hello, there's friend of mine
across the way"
So said serious business man
who was walking with another man
along an uptown street early in the
morning, and at that the other man
looked across, and he didn't see any,
body; all he saw was a milkman's
wagon, with horse attached, stand
ing over there by the curb; but, as
he was going that way himself, he
walked across with the serious man,
and then, on that side, when they
had come little nearer he saw the
milkman's horse curling up his
upper lip as they approached.
They halted by the horse and then
the serious man took from his
pocket three Jumps of sugar which
one after another he fed to the horse.
It was the horse that was his friend
across the way, and, as the serious
man and the milkman, both meth
odical men, are pretty sure to meet
somewhere along that block at the
same hour, daily, the millman's
horse gets his three Jumps of sugar
every morning.

While the recent increased cost Of liv-
ing is becoming a more serious matter
every day with persons living on fixed sal
aries, there is one phase of the question
which seems not to have attracted general
attention, and that is the apparently grow
ing custom of cheating among many store
keepers and the market men of Chicago.
People are swindled by dishonest weights
and measures, Notwithstanding the efforts
of the city sealer and his inspectors. They
are swindled by great many tricks known
only to some storekeepers. Customers are

BURIED ROMAN SHIP FOUND.

Part of burned and mud-buried
ancient ship has just been discovered
in the harbor near Christchurch,
Hampshire. At first it was consid-
cred to be a viking vessel, but
further excavations and expert criti-
cism of the articles discovered have
established the fact that the ship
belonged to the Romans. A small
incense cup of graceful outline, 49,
inches high and 23s inches in diam
eter, was sent to the British museum
authorities for examination with the
result that Mr.. c. Fl. Read replied
it was a Roman date. Altogether
more than twenty articles of iron,
bronze and pottery have been found.
