Banker Causes Death Of Wife and
Lover.

Lover.
Rome, Nov. 13.-Banker Bartoni,
many times millionaire, was arrested
today for killing his wife and rich adj
mirer of the latter named Zsrbati be-
cause he believed the woman was fonder
of Zerbati than che should have been
and that her affection was reciprocated
Zsrbati and Bertoni's wife were found
dead early today in the road leading
from the formers villa at the suburb of
AlbAno to Rome. Both were nearly be-
headed. Across the highway, between
two trees, was tightly stretched wire
against which they had dashed as they
rode from the villa together in Z,rbatis
automobile. The car was wrecked in
ditch at the roadsids. Bertoui admits
the killing and says he is rather proud,
in fact, of the skill with which it was ar.
ranged. A fall in the darkness over q
grapevine in the grounds suggested the
idea he sought Cutting of length Of
the wire with which the vine was bound
to the trees, he fastened it across the
roadway ct the right height, as be
figured, to catch Zsrbati and his own
wife across the neeks ss they motored
past. Then he waited quietly in the
shadows by the road side until the au-
tomobile appeared. The night was dark.
The wire tore both occupants Of the car
from their seats, and the automobile, I'M
guided, plunged into the ditch and up
set. Bertoni satisfied himself that both
his victims were dead and cody re
turned to Rome. Passers-by found the
corpses in the roadway where the banker
had left. them.

The Kaiser's Reception In London.
London, Nov. 19 III socislistic or
snarchistic demonstrations we're planned
against the Kaiser today, the authorities
elaborate precautions rendered them i'm
possible. Wilhelm and the Kaiserin
rode through the streets from Padding
ton station to the Gnilihsll, where the
city of London entertained them at
luncheon, between solid ranks of troops
and to the cheering Of good-natured aud
enthusiastic crowds. Now and then the
crowd shouted "Hello Willie" or "Good
old Bill" but nowhere was there a sign
of hostility to Germany. The Ksiser
was obviously pleased with his welcome.
he touched his military cap repeatedly
and smiled at the funny mems personal
tiles. The streets were deliberately dec
orated'in the British and German colors.
At the Guildhall large tent had been
pitched and under this canopy the
Kaiser received an address of welcome
enclosed in q gold caskst.- Then he and
The Kaserin escorted by the Prince and
Princess OF Wales and Sir John Bal,
the Lord Mayor, entered the Guildhall
and sat down to luncheon. In his speech
at Guildhall the Empsroriproclaimed his
desire to follow the paths Of pesce. The
return trip to Paddingtou station was
made with the same elaborate precau-
tons and the same marks Of friendliness
from the spectators.
London, Nov. 13.--Fierce rioting &C.
CARED in the streets this afternoon be-
tween strong bodies Of police and throngs
of socialists bent on demonstration
against the Kaiser.
The outbreak was preceded by mol-
ster meeting, mainly of unemployed
working men, on Tower Hill, at which
"Jack" Williams, the SOCIALIST leader,
delivered an address fercely exoriatipg
tae city authorities for bsnquetting q
foreign ruler while thousands OF English
men starve in the streets. Among Other
things Williams said: "lbere is but
one way for us TO disband the army Of
the unemployed. We must cease 10 re.
spect property. Until property is en-
dangered society will not listen to u.s."
From Tower Hill Williams led the
procession toward the Gaildhsll. A
body OF police met then, however, and
on being turned sside the throng hur-
ried in the direction OF St. PauPs, hoping
to intercept The Kaiser's procession on
It's way to the station. More police barred
them and when the socialists attempted
to force their way through the line, drew
thdt maces and began beating the dem
onstrators back by main force. After
several men had been knocked uncon-
scious the crowd was finally compelled
to turn aside and completed its demon
siration by parade.

Upper during his psstorate of the

the history Of Brooklyn that one of its
