Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Another start- ling Mafia murder, now believed to be the tragic sequel to the ghastly barrel murder mystery, has occurred in Brook- lyn. The victim was Salvator Especiale, a refined and cultured man, supposed to have been a secret agent of the Gov- ernment working to detect counterfeit- | ers. The scene of the crime was in den at Main and York streets. It s within a few blocks of the scene of two other murders. Not far away is the dingy saloon in Navy street where Nicholas Parella, with a threat of death from the black hand hanging over him, was last seen alive. Vengeance, nlanned with summary deadliness in the Mafia way that is be- coming only too familiar, was undoubt- edly back of the murder. Silence was maintained to-day by the secret service whether Especiale had been in its employ and had died a mar- tyr to duty. But here are the significant facts: Especlale made his appearance in the Italian colony in lower Fulton street about a year ago. Two months later the United States authorities raid- ed a counterfeiters’ den at 50 Main street. It was there that Especiale lived. With others he was arrested, but a little later he went free. The others are serving long prison terms. It is believed that the criminals still free, with whom he had been asso- clating, discovered that he was a secret agent of United States detectives. He knew this, for he had prepared for flight. It was learned to-d: that he had purchased a ticket for Nables, had packed all of his belongings and had | contemplated leaving the country next | Instead, with a bullet in his breast, his body lies in_the Brooklyn Morgue. Two men were arrested. One had a builet wound in the shoulder, believed to have been received in the fight with Especiale.

WARNS | FOUNG PEOPLE Father Caraher Exhorts Hearers Not to Attend Theaters or Pienies on the_Sabbath Day —_—— WUTTERS STRONG CAUTION ARSI John S. Welbank Dclivers Pow- erful Address at Annual Meet- ing of Gentlemen’'s Sodality FLAL G S “My young friends, I warn you, be- ware of the companions you make, and I warn you against attending Sunday excursions and pitnics, and I beg you also to abstain from going to the thea- ters on a Sunday.” Thus exhorted the Rev. Father Terence Caraher when ad- dressing a number of young girls at St. Francis Church yesterday. The occasion was the twenty-first an- nual reception and consecration of. the Sodality of the Children of Mary of St. Francis parish. There was a large at- tendance, and the members of the order listened attentively to the address of the reverend father. With -earnest vigor Father Caraher appealed #o0 his juvenile congrezation’ to look to the highest and cultivate the most beautiful ideals. Besides warning his hearers against attending theaters on a Sunday and going to Sunday ex- cusions and picmics, Father Caraher said: 1 warn you againuet reading bad books, for such productions of the press are to the eoul what strychnine is to the body. I warn you against evil companjonship and company that is suspicious. Remember, my young friends, that the compiry of a young woman may be her salvation or her ruin. I therefore exhort you to foster and possess those tralts that shall ility of character, that you jast degree and In every scorn anything that is Furthermore you should be loyal to your church and to your priest, FORM GUARD ROUND CHURCH. As the King of England has his life guards and the King of Italy his body guard. so should the Children of Mary form a guard round their church and their priest. I exhort you then to emulate’ the virtues of the Blessed Virgin and thus ennoble yourselves in this life and be prepared for the Lereafter. Father Caraher spoke of the dogma of the immaculate conception and the manner in which it was believed in for many ages by the Catholics, and said it was only defined as a dogma in the middle of the last century by Pius IX. After the instruction by Father Cara- her benediction of the most blessed sac- rament wag given and the children sang several hymns. At the conclusion of the.exercises in the church the sodal- ity adjourned to the prettily decorated | hall, where a banquet was served by the sisters. Miss Florence Schage, retiring presi- dent of the sodality, delivered an ad- dress at the close of the banquet, in which she reviewed the work of the last year and exoressed her deep gratitude for the able and thoughtful assistance given her by the Rev. Father Caraher,; the spiritual adviser of the sodality, and her associates of the organization. The election of officers for the ensu- ing year resulted as follows: President. Miss Kate Van Edsinga: first as- sistant, Miss Margaret Muliin; second assistant, Miss ‘Alice Alvey. Counciilors—Florentine Schage, Mary ~Campbell, Jennie McGivney. Margaret Foley, Gertrudé Van Edsinga. Annie Greene, Josephine McCarthy, Nellie McKevitt, Ethel Schage and Emille Zabaldano. HEAR STRONG REPORTS. The Gentlemen's Sodality held its an- nual meeting at Sodality Hall yester- day afternoon, when reports of the va- rious officers were read and showed thtat the work done during the year had been conducive of the greatest ben- efit to those who were members of the organization. James R. Kelly presided, and was supported by the Rev. Father J. Hickey, 8. J., spiritual director of the sodality. M. J. Pope, the secretary; James H. Dignan, treasurer; E.
