New York, Nov. 22.-The Rev.
Michael De Sanctis Caralt, a Ro-
man Catholic priest, was convicted
yesterday by Magistrate Gotlieb
in Essex Market Court of solicit
ing funds for an alleged charitable
purpose without a license from
the Department of Public Welfare
and received a suspended sentence:
Morris Shapiro, who was arrested
with the priest, pleaded guilty and
was paroled in his own custody.
Magistrate Gotlieb, in suspend
ing sentence on Father Caralt
branded the "Children's Mission

priest conducted in the name of
the League for Truth, Inc, as
nothing but financial venture
and declared that he did not be-
lieve it represented genuine mis-
sion. He warned the priest not tc

1915 to 65.4 in 1929, this figure

deaths in 1928 means that there is
still much work to be done in
Montana.
