SENSATIONAL SPEECH OF WINS LEADS
 TO DISARMAMENT
Especial from United Press.)

l. Especial from United PreSs.) New York, Oct. 12.-The charge made last night by William M. Twins, Re- publican candidate for mayor of New
 York and a leading member of the new York bar, that Justice William J: Gaynor of the supreme court, now the Tammany candidate for mayor, passed on the constitutionality of the anti betting law even before that measure had been signed by Governor Hughes, will probably lead to educational de- velopments.
 Justice Gaynor is said to be prepar- ing his judicial integrity and there is more than a probability that the en- tire matter may be sifted out by the Bar Association in disbarment pro- ceedings which Ivans practically de- n1anded in his sensational speech.
 In view of the fact that when the antf-betting cases appeared before Justice Gaynor, involving the betting of a box of golf balls on a golf game. the Brooklyn jurist did write a. start ling decision on what constitutes a common gambling, Ivans' charges are taken as more than a mere campaign statement.
 IYans made his charges at the rati- fication meeting for Hearst in Carne- gie Hall. He declared that the anti betting law urged by Hughes was passed on June Il, of last year. Twins said he knew the grave nature of the charge ard expI essed his willingness to appear in disbarment proceedings which he practically dared Justice Gaynor tD bring.

CHAR DECIDES
 TO VISIT ITALY
(spscia1 from United Press,

Especial from United Press.)
 Rome, Oct 12.-It developed today that the Czar's reversal of his decision not to visit King Victor was due to as- surances made to him by the Italian police that they have the Anarchists of Italy well in check and have arrest ed the leaders of the plot to assassin ate the Russian ruler. An effort was made by the Italian authorities at first to d1scredit the assassination plot but it is known positively that the Czar considered the situation so dangerous that he cancelled his, visit to Italy giving as an excuse the delicate health of the Czarina.
 That this was not the reason for temporarily abandoning the trip is proven by the fact that now that the Czar has been guaranteed safety he is coming without the Empress.
 For weeks the Italian secret service authorities were aware of the plot against the Gzar's life but only within the last week have they been able to discover the moving spirits in the scheme and place them under arrest. The names of the plotters are being withheld from the public, though it is said that there are a half a dozen sus- poets now in custody. The police now say that the Czar can come to- Italy with as much safety as surrounds him in his palace.
 The Czar starts from Livadia tomor- row. He will make the entire journey by land.

LIKE THE
 GILL CASE
Newport Mystery Similar to Famous Local Case In Which Old Nance Gull ford Figured.
Special from United Press.)


 New Bedford. Mass. Oct. 12.-The finding of bundle of clothes at the Apponegansett river, near the scene of Ida Towards murder a year ago, the discovery of the mysterious disappear ance of Mrs. Maggie Perelli from her home on Acquishnet avenue a week ago, and the visit of two men who sought to leave suitcases at South End stores Sunday, are the sensational de- velopments in the local police investi- gation of the murder of the woman whose limbs were found in a swamp at TiVerton yesterday.
 While the clothes found in the river do not correspond with those worn by Mrs. Perelli when last seen, here rela- lives fear that she was the victim, since she was of the exact proportions of the murdered woman.
 Mrs. PerelH has been missing from her home on Acquishnet avenue since Wednesday of last week when she left word that she was going to the Brock ton Fair Her husband disappeared about three weeks ago after gashing the face of another man with a razor in a fight in the Holy Acre district.
 A possible clue to the murderers is involved in the visit made on Sunday to the stores of Charles Hazzard and David Albert. on South Water street, py two HIGH WIlO SOuSIL CO lSdVc Sull cases.
 This permission was denied them and they left carrying the bags with them.
 Newport, Oct. 12.-Seeking in every nook and corner of the country be- tween here and New Bedford, Mass, scores of searchers are out in the rain today looking for portions of a mur- dered woman's body, the legs of which were discovered in a suit case near the Bulgar Marsh road, not far from Tiv- erton. That the murder of the woman was committed in New Bedford and the legs of the victim dropped from an automobile from that city is the gene ral opinion of the authorities here. Portions of a New Bedford newspaper the limbs which appeared to have been severed from the torso with a common hand saw. Examinations of the parts by Medical Examiner Stim- son indicated that they had been cut off some 15 hours before, which would place the probable time of the murder as Sunday night.
 The leg and thigh show that they are parts of the body of a woman or girl who was about five feet three in- ches in height and weighed about no pounds. The left leg was 27 inches long and the foot showed that the wo- man probably wore a number three shoe A large callous on the bottom of the foot indicated that the girl or wo- man was accustomed to- much walking IT standing and suggested that she may have been 8. working girl.

Quite a number of lines carry black funnels-the American with a white band, as mentioned above; the Anchor which is entirely black; the Bristol, with variegated and fancy touch, the black smokestack being relieved by a white band in the center and a blue starTin the middle of the white band In the regular service of the Hamburg American line, as distinguished from the express service, we find that the color is plain black, while the Red Star is black with white band and a black top.
 The Scandinavian-American and the Wilson lines have red and black, fun neIs, black in the first case with red top and red funnel with a black top in the second.
 The red funnel of the French line has black top similar to the tunnels of other lines, but with different pro- portions of color. On this line the night signals are a blue light forward, a white light amidships and red light aft, forming the French tricolor.
 At night the Anchor line of vessels shows white light, then a red. The Bristol displays green light only. The Hamburg American ships for both services, regular and express, show two red-white-blue lights in quick sue cession at the stern. The Red Star displays three red lights, one forward, one aft and one amidships, all flashed together. The Scandinavian line em- ploys one white-red, followed by one red-white light, and the Wilson puts out two red lights about sixty feet apart.
 It will be observed from the fore going that the night signals of all the different lines vary, while the tunnels in some cases are very similar. This, however, does not lead to confusion, for i'll determining the line to which vessel belongs one must also take into consideration the flag or pennant she flies. Every line, of course, car ries different "house flag" as it is called.
 The flag of the Cunard line is red with a golden lion in the center, while that of the White Star vessels is of the came color, but swallowtail in shape and containing a white star. The hSuse flag of the Red Star line is e-sS1y the same as that of the White ssfar conapany with the colors reversed flag " ns. fred.

THE ATLANTIC LINERS
Signs, Signals and Flags Used by
 the Various Companies.
c0LORs OF THE BIG FUNNEL s

In Some Gases They Are Very Muet
 Alike, but the Night Lights Used b,
 the Vessels of the Different Line.
 Are Quite Distinctive.
 It is said that but comparatively few of the many thousands of persons that each year patronize the various lines of steamships crossing the Atlantic are familiar with the various distin- gushing signs and signals employed by the vessels of the respective compa- nies. Yet it is very easy thing to tell at a glance to what line any given ship belongs-the American line, for instance.
 About all that one must remember in the case of the vessels of our own line is that the tunnels are black, each with its white band. When you see an At !antic liner at night with a blue light forward, a red light amidships and a blue light aft you know at once that She is of the American line.
 All Cunarders show a red funnel with black rings and a black top, while the night signals consist of a blue light and two roman candles. each throwing out six blue balls.
 There are but two of the leading transatlantic lines the ships of which carry cream colored funnels-the North German Lloyd and the Holland-Amer- lea lines. The first employs a perfect ly plain funnel without any other color than cream, and the latter shows a cream funnel with white band and green borders. Signals displayed at night by these lines are, in the case of the North German Lloyd. two blue red lights, one forward and one aft, and, in the case of the Holland-America line, a green light forward and aft, with white light under the bridge.
 Two lines use buff tunnels, the White Star and the Hamburg American, the difference between the two being that, while the former shows a black tsp,> the latter is plain buff throughout. White Star night signals are two green lights flashed simultaneously.
