NEW YORK ITALIAN SOUGHT BY POLICE This afternoon armed with a war rant issued by Prosecutor DeLaney State Policeman Frank Verellt left for New York where he hopes to appre hend Vincezo Josepha of 13d Fourth avenue wanted for complicity in the North Washington avenue murder of last night. BARBER SHOT WITH SURE AIM THOUGH 5 TIMES STABBED The Brothers Pizzuto Set Upon Louis Fasciano With Knives and Remarkable Affray Results .SALVATORE PIZZUTO HELD WITHOUT BAIL Anna Neapolitano Identifies Him As Man She Saw Striking Fasciano With Stick Latter at Hospital and May Recover. Columbus Place, formerly known as Mulioys Lane, wound up the glorious celebration of yesterday with a mur der. Louis Fasciano, a barber, who has a shop on the corner of Columbus Place and North Washington avenue, and who formerly was a special police man and court interpreter in New York city, In an altercation with Sal vatore and Antonio Pizzuto, brothers, shot Antonio- through the heart after he had been stabbed by one of the brothers when both drew knives. Fasciano claims he shot in self de fence. He is at St. Vincent's hospital with a stab wound in his left side, over the fourth rib penetrating the lung, a deep slash on the right fore arm, and a deep wound in his head. Patrolman David Ryan picked up the revolver used by Fasciano, as it lay in the gutter where the barber had dropped It. The handle was smeared with blood, showing that the barber had been stabbed and slashed, and that his right hand had been covered with blood when he drew his revolver and killed Antonio Pizzuto. The trouble started in the saloon in North Washington avenue at the cor ner of the lane, conducted by Gius seppe Tripodella. The saloon keeper saw there was trouble brewing among the members of the party, who were Fasciano, Salvatore Pizzuto, bootblack at the railroad station; Antonio Piz zuto, bootblack with a chair irf Bank street near Bullen's Hotel, and Vin- cenzo Joseph!, of 135 Fourth avenue New York city. A few years ago Fasciano, the.n a widower with three children, married Rose Josepha, a widow with a family of grown-up chil dren. Salvatore Pizzuto, who is best known as "Sam", married one of the widow's daughters. There was strona- dislike between the step-father and the husband of his step-aaugnier. Yesterdav Vencenzo Josepha came from New York with his wife and three children to spend the holiday. During the evening Fasciano got out his re volver and fired three of the ball cart ridges In the air in celebration of the day. Between 8 and 9 o'clock he took his step-son, Vincenzo, out to Tripo della's barroom for, a drink. The Piz zuto brothers were there, Salvatore, being married to Vincenzo's sister, thought he had a right to show a little countesy to the visitor from isew lors, They did not care about buying any drinks for Fasciano and he did not care to mix up with them. The bar ber and bootblacks became involved in a wordy altercation and soon they were the center of altercation. Fasciano seemed to be Inclined to let things nass. but the brothers raked up all of the gossip they had ever heard about him in this country and in xxg- gia. their native State in Italy. The barber had the cleverest tongue and his sharp retorts won laughter from the crowd, which was listening. The sharp tongue of Fasciano and the wine of Tripodella were breeding a rury in the minds of tbe Pizzuto brothers. Suddenly they reached for their knives. Then several men interfered. The saloon keeper came from behind the bar and wanted to Know it tney warn ed to prevent him from renewing his license. He hustled them into the street. They were obliged to go down a set of stone steps to reach the street and while thev were - upon the steps. Maria Fasciano, 14 year old daughter of the barber, came out of the house just across the way and besought the men to stoD their Quarreling. Suddenly several people saw the wranglers come together. The Piz zutos must have had! their knives open ready for the fray. As near as can be learned from eye witnesses Salva tore brought the barber to his knees bv burying a three and a half inch blade into his left side. Antonio slaehed at Fasciano, . opening the wound in the right forearm and then ripping open the scalp. It was then that he ran his hand Into his coat pocket and brought his gun into play. At the crack of the gun Salvatore saw his brother fall and not risking the chance of having his wounded and maimed adversary turn his revolver on him he broke into a run toward Grand street. Anna Napolitano, a pretty Italian girl who is employed in a groc ery store nearby, saw the killing and recognizing that Salvatore had; been the first to strike, she gave chase to Salvatore as he ran carrying his bloody knife. Several men in the saloon at Grand street and North Washington avenue heard the girl's cries and going out they saw Pizzuto run past, but either no one cared to stop a man with an open knife in his hand, or no. one realized the situation. Salvatore Pizzuto Is held without bail to await the result of the injuries received by Fasciano. This morning he was identified by Anna Neapolitano as the man she saw striking Fasciano with a stick. The stick is thought by the police to have been a pool cue which Salvatore brought with him out of the saloon. Vincenzo Josepha proved himself a dutiful stepson. When he saw his stepfather go down, and saw him shoot, he had visions of dear old New Ycrk. He ran into his stepfather's he use. not more than 40 feet away, tucked two of his children under his arms and, telling his wife to bring the other one. ran through Columbus Place toward Main street where he boarded a trollfey for the railroad station. Thus the family made the station. The po lice got word to Officer Ike Williams to be on the lookout for the family just as the 10:30 o'clock train had pulled out. It was 9:30 o'clock when Sergeant Webb in charge of police headquarters received the news of the killing at the police station. He sent Sergeant Blansfield out on the ambulance. Pa trolmen Michael Quilty. James Dooley and David Ryan were also at the scene of the murder in a short time. Ser geant Blansfield had the assistance of State Policeman Frank Virelli, while Deputy Sheriff Louis Richards, who arrived in a very short time, gathered a lot of information that he placed at the disposal of the detective bureau this morning. Fasciano managed to crawl to his house. There he was found by Ser geant Blansfield and Dr. Wason and ISSUE OF BONDS WILL GO OVER SENATE FINANCE; COMMITTEE DECIDES TO POSTPONE MAT TER TO NEXT DECEMBER Aldrich Also Chairman Here He Says Not Necessary Now to Pro- Tide Additional Bonds for Meeting Expense of Constructing Panama Canal Proposition Was to Increase Amount to $250,000,000. (Special from United Press.) Washington, July 6. The Senate Finance Committee has decided to postpone until the next session of Con gress which meets in December the question of authorising the issue of additional bonds to meet the expense of the construction of the Panama Ca nal together with the proposition of Increasing to $250,000,000 the amount of certificates of indebtedness which may be issued by the government which is now limited by law to $100, 000,000. Senator Aldrich, who besides being chairman of that committee, is chair man of the monetary commission, has also stated that he expects the latter body to be able to make a preliminary report some time during the next" ses sion which will involve some different provisions with reference to the char acter of United States bonds to be is sued hereafter. In making these important an nouncements Aldrich said: "The con dition of the Treasury is such and will be such until the Congress shall meet again, that it will not be neces sary to provide now for a different character of bonds or for an addition al amount of bonds. Under provisions of existing law certincates of indebtedness to the ex tent of J100.000.OOO can be issued if necessary. For the last two months the receipts of the Treasury have been equal to its disbursements: and it Is practically clear to my mind that no reasqn is evident for not continuing existing conditions- until the meeting or congress in December. It had been Aldneh's original inten tion to include in the tariff bin a pro vision for bonds to reimburse the Treasury for money advanced in the purchase and construction of the ca- nal. There are now outstanding $80 000.000 of Panama bonds of former is sues, practically all of which are held by ?sational banks and bond dealers They were sold by the government at an average of about 103 and bear interest at 2 per cent. About $65,000. 000 of them are on deposit as security tor '.National bank circulation Under existing law Panama bonds cannot be sold for less than par and in Aldrich s opinion, a 2 per cent. bond issue at this time would not sell for that price. Theta!mk it will be necessary to increase the rate to 2 1-2 or 3 per cent. But unless the law is changed, the government bonds carry ing a higher rate than 2 per cent, tan- not he used by National banks as se curity for circulation on the same ba sis or taxation as tne present 2 per cent. Panamas. Besides a recom mendation on this matter of bonds it is not expected that the preliminary report of the monetary commission to which Aldrich alluded will include per centage changes in the law at this time.
