ANOTHER N. Y. MURDER.
New York, July 31.-James
Verrella, proprietor of the Dante
cafe, and the man who gave infor-
nation that led to the capture of
"Dago Frank" Cirocisi, paid the
penalty for "squealing" in the
Rosenthal murder case yesterday.
He was killed in a fight in his
place. William Lorenzo, motor
ious East Side gun man, and Al
bert Contento were arrested for
the crime.
1t is believed the murder was
committed to terrorize all who
would inform of the graft connec-
ton between the police and gam
blers.
No further disclosures were
made today by Rose, Weber or
Vallon the gamblers, whose con-
fession of the murder plot against
Herman Rosenthal landed Police
Lieut.. Becker in a cell, charged
with the killing.

MAJOR BUTTS LAST WORD
Pawtucket, R. l., July 31.-The
ocean gave up another grim re-
minder of the Titanic disaster to-
day.
A message purporting to be the
last word of Maj. Archibald Butt,
aide to President Taft, was pick
ed up in bottle off Block Island.
1t read:
"April 16-Mid ocean-help-
on raft-Titanic sinking-no
water or food-Major Butt"
The message was written on a
wireless blank bearing the Titanic
imprint.
The bottle was found by three
men out sailing. At first they
were inclined to regard it as a
CHASTITY joke, but the fact that the
message was written on a Titanic
blank led the INTO believe that ito
was authentic.
An effort will be made to have
the handwriting identified.
The greatest obstacles to hui
man happiness are WEAKNESS of
what we possess and desire for
things we have not.

along that line until October tenth
