Los ANGELES, Calf, Oct. 2s.-
Women will decide who will be the
next mayor of this city. All of the
candidates for that office have now
given up all hope of securing com
plete majority at the primaries,
which will be held next Tuesday and
will center their efforts on the gem
eral election, which will take place
Dec. 12.
The women cannot vote at the pri-
maries, the constitutional amendment
granting them the right of suffrage
not having become effective in time,
but they can vote at the general cleo
tion.
Nearly 10000 women have already
registered for the general election and
it is certain that fully 10000 will be
enrolled before election time The
woman vote cannot be analyzed and
will be for the most part silent
The struggle for the nomination
has settled down into = three-corner-

NICE. Oct. 2S.-The anti-militar-

demonstrations throughout Italy, ac-
cording to news received here tonight
from across the frontier. The radicals
and even the moderates, consider that
Premier Giolittis decision to delay
assembling parliament until after
peace has been arranged with Tur-
key and all controversy concerning
the Italian seizure of Tripoli has
blown over, amounts virtually to the
establishment of a temporary despot-
ism. They propose to resent it by ev-
cry means in their power.
Though the news has prevented
the fact from becoming much known
outside the country, there is a
strong republican movement in Italy.
| There are signs that the Giolitti cab
inet's drastic methods are crystaliz-
ing this sentiment, bringing the vari-
Gus radical factions together, adding
recruits for them from the moderates
and about to threaten serious conse-
quences for the monarchy. The anti
military demonstrations at the time
war was declared against Turkey
We're not put down with anything like
the ease the government represented.

The affection held by Peorians for

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Oct Is
Death in a terrible form is that
which has befallen Mrs. Juan De La
Chamizal, wife of prosperous ranch
er living near San Rafael, remote
town, according to advices received
from there today.
CARRIED only in a night dress, Mrs.
ChamiZal was taken from her bed at
midnight and murdered by being tied
to broncho, after her hands were
tied to her sides, one end of lariat
was fastened about ner neck and the
other end was looped about horn of
the broncho's saddle. The horse was
then lashed into frenzy of te-ror and
set to running across country, drag
ging the woman at its heels.
What is left of Mrs. Charmizal's s
body was found two days after she
had disappeared, but news of the find
did not reach here until today. Mrs.
Chamizal was slain on the night she
was seen at San Rafael theater with
a strange man who, her friends as
sert, was relative of hers. When
found only remnant of her body re-
mained, the rest having been torn
away during the hours she, was drag
ged over the prairie.
That the broncho was deliberately
lashed into a frenzysof terror after the
woman was tied to the saddle horn, is
indicated by the fact that the animals
flanks are covered with long cuts

VIENNA, Oct. 2S.-Austrian official.
dom is intensely excited today over
dispatches that Italy is planning
naval demonstration in Turkish wat
ers in retaliation for the resistance the
Turks and Arabs are putting up to the
Italian occupation of Tripoli. Austria
has from Tire .:rst insisted that Italy
must confine its activities to Turkeys
African possessions. If it's warnings
are disregarded it is stated with great
emphasis here that forcible means
will be resorted to to enforce Aus
trian wishes.
1t is believed here that Italy is hav-
ing far more trouble in Tripoli than
lit expected The allegation that King
Victor's troops have evacuated their
entrenchments back of the city OF
Tripoli merely because it was found
Impossible to bury the decaying bodies
of 1000 Arabs killed in the battle
there October 26 is not believed. 1t is
thought here that the troops found it
impossible to maintain their position.
The official story that only 500 Italians
were killed and wounded in the recent
1 fighting about Tripili is also consid-
cred far short of the truth. Austrian
officials think there will be wave of
horror throughout Italy when it is
known what the coilntry's losses have
been.

Another Woman Found Dead and the

CHICAGO, Oct 2S-The dead body
of beautiful woman found amid
dazzling lot of dresses in room
wherein was scattered about jewelry
valued at thousands of dollars. fur
nishes tonight mystery for the Chi

The woman-she was about &c
years of age-was Blanche Dodd, re-
Gently favorite at local theatres.
She was apparently asphyxiated in a
room at small hotel Scattered
about the room, on chairs. and. in
some instances apparently thrown
helter skelter, were costly articles of
wearing apparel-silk and embroider,
er underwear and beautiful dresses.
The windows We're shut tight and
locked.
If there was a murder, the police
are puzzled to account for a motive
Jewelry valued at thousands of dol
lars was lying in plain view on the
dresser, and several costly rings
were on the dead girls fingers. To-
night the police are working on the
love motive for the mystery They
think 1t impossible that a girl young.
beautiful and apparently without fl.
nancial cares, should have committed
suicide. The great disorder of the
room hints at struggle, though
there is no explanation at the pres
