POLICE KNEW.
 VOLPE, SLAIN
Murdered Man Was Frien1 of Piazza Who Killed
 Seafarino.

Paul Volpe, who was murdered in New York yesterday morning, was known to the police of this city in connection with the George Sefarino murder, he was the friend of Calogno Piazza who killed sefar1no, a store keeper of 62 Lexington avenue, Dec 9, and escaped immediately after the crime.
 Volpe was identified by an address card which was in his pocket, giving his address as 134 Willard street this city. The local police state that Pi- azza and the murdered man formerly roomed together on Willard street, and moved from there to 96 Lexing- ton avenue about two months ago.
 Volpe was still rooming with Piaz- ga at the time of the local murder. It is supposed that he left the city following the crime as the police were unable to locate and question him re- garding 1t.
 Volpe was shot at the corner of 45th street and First avenue early yesterday morning, two bullet wounds caused his death, one through the head and the other through the abdo- men. He died immediately, before he had chance to make a statement concerning the shooting. Three men suspected of the crime are being held by the New York police.
 The Serafino murder is said to have been over the fact that Seraf1no pur- chased the store he was operating mt ~ pay him anything on the purchase.
 The local police do not know whether the New York crime has any connection with the local murder. Il has been pointed out by police off, eials that 1t is possible that Volpe know too much for the safety of mind of Piazza, who took this means of dis posing of a troublesome witness.

CORN SYRUP CAN BE FOR
 SUGAR IN CANNING

Corn sirup may be used in canning and in making jellies, jams and mar malades and fruit buffers, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Varying amounts of corn sirup are used with sugar. The sirup gives modified flavor to products so it should be tried out in small quantities at first to suit the family taste. It combines most satisfactorily with strong favored fruits such as pineapple and cherries. The amount used must be determined by the kind of furit and the strength of the sirup.
