ROFRANO WITNESS
KILLED IN STREET
"Chocolafe" Zurico Lured to
Brooklyn and Assossi-
mated.

Chocolate or Salvatore Zurica OF
liz First street. Brooklyn, whose testi-
inony helped bring about the indict-
ment OF Michael A. Rofrano for the
murder OF Michael Giamari, was shot
and killed last night at Fourth avenue
and Second street. Brooklyn. According
to the story he told the police as he. lay
dying on a cot in the Methodist Epis.
copal Hospital. he was lured there by
the men who caused his death. a
Zurica. after having caused the former
deputy street cleaning commissioner to
be put on trial Tor his life, escaped,
and later. when he was rearrested and
put on the stand. refused to stick to
his story.
Iurica received a telephone message
yesterday afternoon to the effect that a
certain girl of his acquaintance wanted
10 see him in Brooklyn. He went. and
found two men whom he knew waiting
for him. One fired at him and he fell,
mortally wounded.
AT the hospital Zurica told the detec-
ives the whole story. on his testimony
they arrested Michael Grimaldi OF SO
Carroll street named by the dying ma
as the one who had lured him to Brook
iyn. and James Licato. known in the un-
derworld as Lefty Licato. The latter
was held on n charge OF homicide after
Zurica had identified him as the man
with the revolver. Zurica died a few
minutes afterward.
At Grimaldis home the detectives
found Hilda Peterson of 246 Seventh
street, who said that Grimaldi had
brought her to this city from Spring
Lake, y. V. and forced her to earn a
living for him. She was held as a ma
terial witness.

BEER OR BREAD NOW
ENCLAND'S PROBLEM
Manufacture of Beverage to
Be Cut in Half, Food Comp
troIler Orders.

LONDON, Jan. 2i.-In order to reduce
the consumption OF foodstuffs by brew
cries, Baron Devonport, the food comp
troller. has decided that the quantity of
beer to be brewed for the year beginning
in April shall be restricted to 20 per
cent. of the output of the previous year.
This means that only 100000 barrels
of beer will be produced. about half the
output OF the year preceding the war.
Baron Devonport. in explaining the
object of his order. said the restriction
must not be deemed a measure OF
temperance or of social reform "The
fact Is" he said, "the barley, sugar and
other ingredients used in brewing are
required for food In fact, II is really
a question of bread versus beer"
The order of the food comptroller will
withhold from brewers 2S6,00O tons OF
ba riley and $4,000 tons OF sugar. The
order will also increase the available
supply OF labor for industries OF ma
tional importance.
The measure has eceived the approval
OF the War Cabinet, which has decided
that corresponding restrictions shall be
placed on the release OF wines and spirits
from bond.

JESSE POMEROY
WINS LONG FIGHT
Noted Prisoners Solitary Con.
finement Term Comes to
an End.

BOSTON, Jan. 24.-Jesse Pomeroy, who
mas been for forty-one years in soli-
tary confinement in the State prison at
oharlestown. was granted equal privi-
leges with other prisoners by the Execu-
tive Council to-day.
Convicted Of murder at IS Pomeroy
was locked up two years later in a cell
lighted from window in the ceiling, so
that he might not gaze on his fellow
men. He exercised apart from other
prisoners and was barred as far as pos
sible from human companionship. Two
years ago he was allowed more oppor-
tunities for exercise in the prison yard
and was allowed to attend church SER
vices twice on Sunday. sitting apart
from the other men.
Now at the age Of 81 years Pomeroy
VIII move into cell where he can see
passersby. will be allowed to exercise
with other prisoners. sit with them at
the church services and at the prison
entertainments and will be given such
light work in the prison shops as his
somewhat cnfeebled health will permit
Gov. Mccall announced tonight that he
approved the Communication.
Pomeroy was convicted OF the brutal
murder Of two children, following a se-
ries OF crimes which terrorized the South
Boston and Dor, hester districts. He was
sentenced to be hanged, but because Of
his youth the sentence was commuted
to solitary imprisonment for life. On
September :, 1876. he was placed in his
solitary cell at the Charles street Jail
Reports of sensational attempts to es-
cape carried through with patient in
genuity rarely found outside Of fiction
became public at frequent intervals.
When Pomeroy began his sentence
he was poorly educated. Now he can
read seven languages. and at the age Of
81 is studying Arabic. His last known
attempt to escape was four years ago
Since then he has been diligently study
ing law as 1t bears on his case. Be
yond his attempts to break through
steel and brick to freedom he has been
on the whole. his keepers say. a quiet
and model prisoner. The councils ac-
tion to-day was based on the recon-
mendations of Col. Cyrus b. Adams. di-
rector of prisons. and Nathan b. Allen,
warden of the State Drison
