ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN GOTHAM
WOMAN sTRANeLEp TO DEATH
MAN HAD HIS THROAT CUT.
Another Man Found Bleeding from
Wounds in the Side Made by
a Breadknife.

New York City.-The midriff of the
Tenderloin produced another tragedy
Monday quite as grewsome and mys-
terious as others that have made GER
tain sections of this city notorious.
When the police reached the escene
Kate Pelter, 3S years old, had been
strangled to death with towel that
was bound tightly about the neck;
Vito Della Badia, 46 years old, cloth
cutter and once a companion of the
woman, was dead with his throat cut;
while Charles A. Berger, boilermak-
er, 40 years old, who occupied the fiat
where the killing was done, was bleed
ing from wounds in the side made by
breadknife..
Berger will probably live. He told
the police that he had discovered Ba-
dia robbing the fiat, that the latter
then attacked him and killed himself.
He disclaimed knowledge of the wom-
ans death. Berger is under arrest at
a hospital.
The Pelter woman came here two
years ago from Chicago, and was said
to be the widow of tailor of that
city. She possessed a considerable
amount of jewelry and at one time is
said to have been well provided with
money.

WITH MUCH CEREM 0NY
Gen. Pine Guerra Takes Command
of the Cuban Army-WiIi Or
, ganize Staff.

Havana, Cuba.-Gen. Pine Guerra,
with much ceremony, on Monday took
command of the Cuban army. Ca
banas fortress fired a salute of II
guns in honor of the new commander
Later Gen. Guerra informed Gov. Ma
goon that 1t was his desire to imme-
diatelyl organize his staff and Gov.
Magoon gave his consent.
The general impression is that
trouble is likely to ensue between
Guerra's regulars and the rural guards
under Gen. Alexander Rodriguez.
Ell Triunno, the Miguelista organ
in an editorial Monday says it will be
necessary for Gov. Magoon to issue
another decree declaring that the ex-
ecutive shall have power, whenever
there is public disturbance, to simplify
the army appropriations so as
to be able to cope with the
rebels and not be caught help
less, as President Palma was, be-
cause congress was in recess. This is
said by prominent Cubans to be a
strange desire, as the Miguelistas
would not want such a law unless
they believed they would be victorious
in the next election, whereas now a
Zayista victory seems assured.

CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Strike of Street Car Employees and I'm.
portation of Strikebreakers Caused
Clashes at Chester, Pa.

Chester, PA strike of the
conductors, motormen and other en-
ployes of the Chester Traction Co.,
followed by the importation of about
$50 strikebreakers and the summon
ing of detachment of the state con-
stabulary to assist the local police in
preventing violence, precipitated a
series of clashes between strike SYM
pathizers and state police Monday
The state police were stoned and
mobbed and several officers and civil
ians were hurt, though none danger
ously.
The events of the day have aroused
the entire populace and the town is
practically under martial law with all
the saloons closed and the street car
barns and other property of the trac-
tion company under guard.
The trouble started when a mob
prepared to stop the running of cars
by strikebreakers. The first car out
of the barn was stoned and every win
dow in it broken. This absolutely
tied up every line in Chester, includ-
ing the Southwestern Trolley line to
Philadelphia.

WILL DEPORT ALL ALIENS
immigration Officials Scour Detroit
for All Who Are Not Citizens or
Who Are in U. S. Illegally.

Detroit, Mich.-Encouroged by their
success in securing the deporta-
tion of several alien patients in
local maternity hospitals, the local
immigration officials have been pursu-
ing thorough investigation of De-
troit's ''red light" district AS a result
a dozen warrants were sworn out for
as many inmates of houses of that dis
trict with view to deporting any
aliens who are caught in the dragnet.
The women upon whom the warrants
were served will probably have a
hearing at the immigration offices on
Tuesday, when they will be given op-
portunity to present proof that they
are citizens or that they are not in
the United States illegally.

Suppression of anarchy as the
greatest question before the nation
was called to the attention of con-
gress by President Roosevelt In a spe-
cial message The executive submits
what has been done under existing
statutes, but says there should be
further legislation.
During q session full OF violent talk
the house adopted two new rules de-
signed to prevent fllibustering by the
Democrats. 1t also passed Speaker
Cannons two resolutions that call on
the departments of justice and labor
for information concerning the So
called paper trust.
The naval appropriation bill author
1zing the construction of two instead
of four battleships and eight instead
of four submarine torpedo boats, and
carrying total appropriation OF
$103,967,51S for the naval service for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909,
was reported to the house by Chair
man Foss of the committee on naval
affairs.
AS an aftermath of the passage OF
the army appropriation Oil oehdloi
Hale, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs, warned against increases
of the military establishment, saying
they were inviting a deficit. He
moved the reconsideration of the vote
by which the army bill was passed
and his motion was then laid on the
table at his request. Senator Burkett
characterized the proceeding as one
of bad faith. The senate passed the
fortification appropriation bill carry
ing an aggregate of $12, ,106,1S7.
The special house committee investi'
eating Mr.. Lilley's charges against
the Electric Boat company learned
thai some one in the navy department
had been giving out parts of navy
reports.
