THREE BURGLARlES BY
 PROFESSIONALS LAST
 NIGHT IN WEST END HOUSE RANSACKED WHILE RESI- DENTS WERE ASLEEP
Mrs. Porter Saw Burglar Room But Thought Was Her Illus band-Mr and Mrs. Bayette Awakened Frightened Away Intruders-Cash Haul of SIS Made in Mr.. Lovegrove's House-Same Pair
 Suspected in All Three
 f Cases

Three daring burglaries in the same section of the West End last night were reported to the police today. All three burglaries were apparently committed by the same pair of pro fessionals, whose total haul from the three houses was only s15 in cash.
 Apparently they sought only cash and jewelry. ransacking the houses in each case, and rejecting silverware and other heavy va1uables.
 In all three eases the burglars were seen by the inmates of the houses.
 The places visited were the homes of James Porter B Linwood avenue; Joseph Bayettee, 1267 Park avenue and Emerson s. Lovegrove 1883 Iranistan avenue.
 The most extraordinary experience was that which befell Mrs. Porter, whose husband is away on a business trip. Expecting her husband back yesterday or today, Mrs. Porter awoke at 2 o'clock this morning to see a man moving about her bedroom.
 She sleepily watched him for lit tie while and then fell asleep again, supposing it was her husband. This morning when she arose she found that her room and the entire apart ment had been ransacked by burglars

who gained entrance through a rear window. All the bureau drawers were pulled out and the belongings were scattered around the floor. Apparently the intruders had found nothing to their liking and Mrs. Porter could note nothing missing.
 At the. home of Emerson E.. Love grove the same pair, operating in the same manner, paid visit. They went into MT. Lovegroye's bedroom and ab- stracted $15 in cash from a purse. They then thoroughly ransacked the rest of the house: leaving numerous candle grease drippings to mark their progress. While they were moving about, they made some noise and dis turbed the occupants of the house. The intruders then fled.
 At the Bayette home, they had, ap- parently just begun operations when they made noise by pulling out a drawer and awoke MT and Mrs. Bay cite and their daughter. The latter screamed and the intrulers field. They had taken nothing. The only loss re- ported was the $15 from MT Love groves house. ss
 There is no question in the minds of the police but that the same pair operated in all three cases. Entrance in each house was obtained through a rear window. The burglars used can dies and left frequent drippings of wax around the houses.

Italy Declares War On Turkey
 And Lands Troops Al Tripoli

hurriedly called to the co1ors, are be- ing dispatched against the Greek frontier The correspondent adds that Turkey, realizing that she can not defend Tripoh because she has no navy and consequently cannot send troops there, has determined to attack Greece. The pretext is the integrity of Crete. it being stated that Turkey will demand that Greece inn mediately withdraw and disavow all of her claims on the island, This demand, it is said, will take the form of an uitimatum.
 This. news has added greatly to the apprehension felt here that the en- tire Balkans are sure to be involved because of Italy's policy of territor ial aggression and that the inevitable result will be the opening of the en- tire Turkish question.
 England and Germany are admit tedly alarmed and are trying to get concerted action on the part of the powers whereby hostilities shall be localized.
 The declaration of martial law In Constantinople followed mutterings which were believed to presage anti foreign riots. The entire cabinet was in session nearly all night and re- stunned the conferences, early today. It is expected that there will be an imm ediate change in the cabinet and that Grand Vizier Kakkibly will be released, to be succeeded by Sahid Fl.

WIFE OF ACCUSED MURDERER TELLS OF NORTH END CRIME
 DEPICTING HUSBAND AS SLAYER

The unusual spectacle of wife for his life, was witnessed in the criminal superior court this morning when Eugenia Colletta, wife, went on the stand to tell how her husband, Antonio Colletta of this city, shot and killed Pasquale Nespoli. Judge Shum- way and a jury are hearing the eVi- dence. Mrs. Colletta is young wo- man and is rather pretty. She is a brunette and dresses neatly in Amer |ican fashion.
 Mrs. Colletta told her story with the aid of an interpreter. She ap- peared to have difficulty in getting the meaning of some of States Attor- ney Judson's questions but on the whole proved strong witness. Col letta sat behind his counsel, Attor- neys John J. Cullinan and George F. Mara. The accused eyed his wife with seeming indifference as she told of the happenings on the night of March 19 last, when Pasquale Nespoli was shot during fight in Grand street.
 Before the trial was resumed, Judge Shumway warned the jurors not to pay any attention to newspaper com ments on the trial. He said one pa per had commented improperly on the proceedings
 Eugenia Colletta, wife of the pris- oner, was the first witness sworn this this morning. She was told by the court that she need not testify against her husband unless she desired to do so. The witness was willing to tes- tify. Mrs. Colletta said she and her husband separated eight months be- fore the shooting, After the separa- tion the witness lived with her sis ter
 One evening before the separation the witness said, Colletta objected when MT. and Mrs Nespoli tried to enter the Colletta apartments. The accused was beating his wife at the time and did not want any visitors. Mrs. Colletta asked her sister to get a revolver out of a bureau but the sister was afraid. Nespoli said to the accused, "As long as you're going to abuse your wife you might as we'll separate and be done with it'' Mrs. Colletta said her husband was striking her at this time When Nes- poll interfered Colletta threw a bottle at him and NespoH slapped the ac- cused
 A call was then sent for the police, but one of Colletta's friends took him out of the house so he would not be arrested. The police came but could iiOI ioSoIO Oo"iClud AIleT ClldI IfOuUle the witness separated from Colletta and did not live with him again. She made a complaint to the police be- cause her husband was annoying her.
 On the night of March 19. when the murder took place, the witness saw her husband on her way to the store. About 10 o'clock she heard some noise near her window. She pulled the shade aside and asked, Who's there,' Its me, replied her husband. Mrs. Colletta told her husband to go to the door and she would let him in. Colletta said.

The witness told him to wait but the accused broke the glass. Mrs. Col letta then rushed out and told her sis ter, Mrs. Nespoli who said Nespoli would soon be home. When Nespoli. arrived, Collettai jumped over the fence. Then Nespoli went out and met Colletta on the sidewalk. He seized Colletta by the throat They called each other names and Colletta ran away.
 NespoH followed and near the corner of Grand street and North Washing Nespoli. The latter had no weapon when the accused fired Colletta fac ed Nespoli as he shot. The witness saw NespOli put his hand to his stom- ach. Then Colletta fired a second shot and ran along Grand street Nes- poll followed until he fell He arose and once more continued the pursuit He fell second time and was unable to rise. The witness and her sister Mrs. Nespoli, followed the two men. The women were screaming for the police.
 pr. W. J. A. O'Hara was called by the state. He told of the operation performed upon Nespo1i at St. Vim cents hospital. Nespoli did not rally and died on March 23.

 Martial law has been declared in and threats of mas sacres of Europeans are being made The public indignation is not alone directed against Italy, according to latest advices, but includes all other nations, the Turks believing the fail ure of the powers to interfere in her behalf, is due to desire to force the partition of all Turkish territory.

Rome, Sept 2S-(via Modana, France, Sept 29)-Three persons have been killed and many wounded at Paurama, as a result of the anti-war demonstrations which are growing in force throughout Italy. A procession of workingmen, carrying banners bearing antf-war sentiments. attempt ed to block the passage of regiment of reserves en route to the barracks. The demonstration was peaceful but the officer commanding the troops drew his men across the street and ordered them to fire. Three volleys were fired at short range but most of the soldiers, having little heart for the work, purposely aimed high or low and the casualties were not so great as expected.
 Advices from other sections of Italy tell of similar occurrences. The gov ernment has issued orders to the troops that all street demonstrations of an anti-war character are to bs

Official Statement to the Powers This Afternoon Promises that Rights of All Foreigners Will Be Safeguarded in TripoIi.
Special from United Press.) )

London, Sept. 29-That the die has been cast for a war between Italy and Turkey, after days of muttering, now seems a certainty Italian troops are being landed in Tripoli, with orders to assume control of that country. The flower of the Italian navy is protecting the landing party, while other Italian warships, with their guns shotted and ready for in stant action, are patrolling the entire Mediterranean.
 Within AS hours an entire Italian army division will be in Trfpoli, which, for the next few days at least. will be the center of action in the dispute. The Turkish garrison of the small Tripolitan cities, even though aided by the Arab population, which is unusually well armed and equipped, is hopelessIy outclassed by the picked Italian forces sent on this latest war of conquest, but it is believed here that it will make a desperate resist ance and will. instead of surrendering. withdraw into the interior where 1t will be comparatively safe.
 Up to the present no word of act ual fighting has been received. Tur- key cannot resist on the sea and with neither transports nor warships can not reinforce the troops now ip Trf- poh To what extent Italy will main tain blockade of Turkish ports, is hard to say. It is certain that the Italian in Turkish territory, who are estimated at least at 100000, are in grave danger and if massacres take place, Italy will proceed against Tur- key proper.
 ed by rumors of trouble between Tur- key and Greece and by the fact that Maly's action is bitterly denounced both in England and Germany. It is feared that a crisis may be precipitat- ed that will involve all Europe and the various cabinets are reported as in conference tonight. over the situa- ton.
