WOMAN SLAIN BY
ALLEGED MANIAC

Elan Martinez. a cook. believed bv
the police to be a maniac, attacked
Mrs. Ynez Surita at her home In 3
Green court shortly before noon yes
terday and stabbed her to death.
With the bloody knife still in his pos
session, Martinez was arrested bv De-
tective Andrew ]. Gaughran and lod ged
In the city prison on a charge of
murder.
From the conflicting stories told by
the murderer, 1t is believed he was in
fatuated with the woman and went to
her home yesterday determined to kill
her. In dying statement obtained at
the harbor emergency hospital Mrs.
surita identified Martinez as her
assailant.
Martinez made the following state
ment Immediately after the stabbing:
That woman is my sister and is a
widow. She has been living with q
man whose name / do not know, and
| went to her house to reprimand her
and Danish the stranger. He escaped,

woman, was in bed at the time Mar

the murderer asked for a half dollar.
Mrs. Surita refused and Martinez drew
an ugly looking stilleto. Cruez alleges
he fought the infuriated cook, knock
ing the knife from his hand

of the police to report the matter and

NAVY men FEAR A
Change in POLICY

WASHINGTON, Oct s-The ap-
preaching retirement of Admiral Reg
inald F. Nicholson as chief of the
bureau of navigation. position COM
monty regarded as the ranking officer
in the navy. has stirred naval circles,
especially in view of the fact that
Admiral Nicholson has not been per-
lnitted to serve the full term accorded
to an officer of his rank assigned to
shore duty.
The explanation offered at the navy
department is that 1t was desirable
that the admiral be allowed to COM
manC a fleet before his active service
expires. But, whatever may have been
the purpose of the authorities in max
ing the change, still greater interest
attaches to the personality of the sue
cessor of Admiral Nicholson. This
place heretofore has been filled by an
admiral or by a captain SO advanced
in his grade as to be sure of attaining
the rank of admiral before the ex-
piration of his detail.
Attention has been drawn to the
fact, however. the Secretary Meyer has
recently adopted the policy Of selecting
comparatively young officers for high
positions, as was evidenced in the
appointment of present heads or the
construction bureau. of the bureau Of
yards and docks and of the bureau of
steam engineering.
A feeling of apprehension exists
among the conservative element in the
navy that the old practice of con-
ferring the high Office of chief OF the
bureau of navigation upon one of the
most distinguished officers of high rank
is in danger Of abandonment
Secretary Meyer is maintaining ST.
lence as to his purpose. simply calling
attention to the fact that the office
is one entirely within the disposition
of the president, and that consequently
no selection will be announced until
President Taft returns to Washington.

of the quirinal. Cardinal Maffi's adj
dress follows the pastoral of Bishop
Bonomelli of Cremona, which was in
the same vein, and makes it appear
that a party is growing in the highest

Promise of Early Peace

WASHINGTON Oct. S.--Advices tc
the state department today from the
embassy at Rome, express the belief
that if the Ottoman government ac-
cepts the occupation of Tripoli and re-
stores the statutes previously existing
in Turkey. the Italian government will
be desirous of bringing about peace at
the earliest possible moment.
The efforts of Germany to effect a
settlement continue unabated, acord-
ing to the dispatch. The news of the
occupation of Tripoli was confirmed,
and it was said marines had been
landed without serious opposition The
Turkish troops withdrew into the Hin
terIand.

Turkish and Italian governments, de-
claring that merchant vessels of the
two hostile nations shall be seized and
confiscated. were received.

cided that in conformity with the prin-
ciples of international law, Italian

disc forming part of their cargo. As
to neutral merchandise. 1t shall not
be liable to confiscation unless 1t shall
come within the category OF articles
of contraband of war
The charge d'affairs at Rome COM
municates the notice issued by the
Italian minister of marine, as follows:
Contraband Defined
mo action having been taken on the
part OF Turkey to indicate that the
Porte intends to except merchant ves-
sells OF Italy from seizure or capture

ment has taken the initiative in seiz-
ing merchant vessels under the Italian
flag. the italian government. in exer-

received here today say:
EARLY this morning the ships of the

VIENNA. Oct. s.-Reports of
mobilization and concentrating
troops at threatened points in
the Balkans continue to pour
in from all sides. But this is only to
be expected, for the hostilities render
even more uncertain the unstable
equilibrium in those troubled states.
Nor is it necessary to take too seri-
ously the semioficia1 denials of the
powers concerned, for these are in
tended only to lull their neighbors into
a false sense of security.

Germs Austria and Servia The usual
transportation of wheat and other
goods on the Bosnian railways has
been suspended until October IL, be-
cause trains filed with Austrian

Fleet Assembled
Austria also has her fleet assembled
at ports convenient to the Adriatic
coast, but it is not true, as has been
reported. that she meditates any real
action against Italy.
On the other hand Servia has sent
four regiments to the frontier at
Novipazar, q Turkish province between
Servia and Montenegro that is under
partial military occupation by Austria,
for it would be through Novipazar that
Austria would march to occupy
Salonica should there be general
conf1a grafton in the Balkans.

report the movement of troops.
