DOUBLE MURDER CHARGED
Italian Accused of Killing Wife and
Mother-in-Law

Italian Accused of Killing Wife and
Mother-in-LaW.
New York, May 9.-Mrs. Maria Vito
and her mother, Mrs. Maria Brignoli,
were literally slashed to pieces with
razors in their East Side home early
In the day. Giovanni Vito, the hus-
band of the younger woman, is under
arrest charged with the crime 1t is
alleged that he killed the women after
a quarrel which followed their refusal
to give him money. Vito denies that
he is guilty, however, and stoutly
maintains that his wife and mother
in-laW were killed by two men who
broke into the house and with whom
he himself had fierce struggle in de-
Tense of his life. In support Of his
story he exhibited to the police cut
on one of his hands, which he declares
was inflicted by one of the murderers.
His story is substantiated by his three
year-old son. The police give the story
little credence, however, as Vito and
the child were the only persons in
the apartment when the police, who
had been informed that murder was
being done in the house, forced an
entrance. Vito is barber by trade,
but is said to have lived on the earn
ings of his wife for several years.
Three bloody razors were found in the
apartments.

FRISCO STREET CAR RIOTS
One Man Killed and Four 9th
ers Fatally Injured.

San Francisco, May 9.-The strike
of the 100 union motormen and con-
ductors of the United Railroads de-
veloped into riot, in which one man
was killed, four fatally wounded and a
number of Others more or less injured.
The dead. man is James Walsh, a
strike sympathizer, who was shot in
the head by a strikebreaker on one Of
the cars, and reports from the hos
pitfalls indicate that four more will die.
These are Albert c. Palm, chauffeur,
residing in Oakland; John Buchanan,
union conductor; Nathan Lesser, a
messenger, and Charles Murphy, a
union conductor. S. Kroknet, tailor,
who was shot through the lung, is in
a bad way and may not survive. Near
ly all the others wounded proved to be
superficial and most of them have
been removed to their homes.
A strong movement to secure peace
was begun during the day when, after
consultation among leading citizens, it
was resolved to call meeting at La
Dor temple when efforts will be made
to settle all the existing troubles.

Waived Right in Making Plea.

In deciding the motion Judge Wood
said, In part: -/.s
can examination of the indictment
in this case discloses the fact that the
offense charged in each count is set
forth with great care and particularly,
the time and place are specifically set
forth, as we'll as the person upon
whom the assault was made, and the
specific means by which the blow
which produced death was struck. A
bill of particulars could not convey
any information to the defendant upon
these questions which he does not al
ready possess. The only question is
this: Assuming that the state must
prove conspiracy and that the defend
ant was connected Herewith, which
conspiracy resulted in the death Of
Frank Steunenberg, is the defendant
entitled to the particulariZation of the
several acts or circumstances upon
which counsel for the prosecution rely
in, order to connect the defendant
with such conspiracy? I do not think
it necessary to state at this time what
the court would do if this application
had been presented before plea to the
indictment or before the case was set
for trial. AS the court now views the
matter the defendant has waived his
right to such bill Of particulars, not
only by pleading to the indictment but
further by permitting the case to be
set for trial without making such ap-
plication.'' .....-.- ~

EVOkES LITTLE ENTHUSIASM
Nationalist Press Discusses Home
Rule Measure.

Rule Measure. =
Dublin, May 9.-The introduction Of
Mr. Birrell's Irish bill in the house Of
commons has not evoked much en-
thusiasm in the Nationalist newspa-
pers, but there is a tendency to advo-
cate it's acceptance as an installment
of a larger policy.
.'The Irish party" says the Free
mans Journal, twill give the most
careful consideration to the proposals
with the desire to find in them a meas
ure of usefulness
The Irish Independent remarks that
the measure gives Ireland but the
minimum of what she could accept of
administrative reform and puts an end
to the indefensible system of govern
ment by irresponsible departments.
The Unionist press bitterly opposes
the bill. The Irish Times says lit
violates every principle of common
sense" and that its adoption would be
followed by separation "as surely as
night follows day."
z The Daily Express says: "The
council will be standing committee
of the separatist party and the loyal
minority will be wiped out. The
checks provided are entirely illusory."

BARS OUT OTHER POWERS
One Object of Series of Treaties Relat-
ina to Far East.

One OpJeCt OF series OF IreatIeS HeiaC-
ing to Far East.
Paris, May On Kuriano, the
Japanese minister, in an interview, is
quoted as making the important state
ment that the series of treaties be-
tween Great Britain, France, Russia
and Japan, guaranteeing the territorial
status quo in the Far East, implied an
engagement to prevent other coun-
tries from acquiring territory there.
Minister Kuriano denied that the
Franco-Japanese entente was in any
way aimed at the United States, add
ing:
Japan, in spite of the San Fran
cisco incident, has always been most
sympathetic to the United States, be-
cause she was the first to treat the
Japanese people on a footing of equal
ity. If Japan could obtain advantages
from an understanding with the Unit
ed States it is entirely probable that
the government at Toxic would not
hesitate to negotiate with Washing
ton"
Continuing, M. Kuriano said that as
Germany had no possessions in the
Far East, Kiaochou being simply
leased Chinese ground, a treaty with
her similar to the one between Japan
and France would be- useless.

Longshoremen's Strike at New

BOTH SIDES DETERMINED

So Far Only 1.-TWO Companies Have
Made Terms With Their Men, the
Others Declaring Their Intention to
Reject the Demands Made.
New York, May 9.-Conditions on
the water front brought about by the
strike of the longshoremen are more
serious than ever The strikers num-
Der fully 10000 and both sides are ap-
parently strong in their determination
to stand firm. Thus far only two COM
panies, the Mallory line and the South
ern Pacific company, have made terms
with the men. Work has been re-
sumed at the freight piers Of these
companies.
strikebreakers have been engaged, but
even with the assistance Of the crews
of various ships these men have made
but small inroads in the mountains of
freight that are accommodating at all the
important shipping points. The big
transatlantic companies, however, are
sending out their ships nearly on
schedule time, but the strikers claim
that these vessels are going away
light" that is, with only a small part
of their usual cargoes.
Forty strikebreakers were attacked
near the Cunard docks. These men
were badly mauled before they could
be rescued by the police.
That serious trouble is anticipated
as an outgrowth of the strike of long
shoremen became apparent during the
afternoon when Police Commissioner
Bingham issued an order to all COM
manders of stationhouses in the great
er city directing them to hold all their
men on reserve. Between 10000 and
10000 longshoremen are now on strike
and nearly every steamship line with
connections in this city is affected.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Big Ocean Liner Almost coIides With

New York, May Passengers on
the big steamer Kaiser Wilhelm H.,
which arrived during the day from
Europe, declare that the liner had q
remarkably narrow escape from col

cruiser Bremen in "a dense fog off
Nantucket. According to the story the
Kaiser was ploughing along at a high
speed when the Bremen loomed up IN
the fog only a short distance ahead.
Instantly the liners engines were re-
versed and her nose turned to one
side. The Bremen's watch saw the
danger at the same time and the
cruisers course was altered.
