SIGNS OF UNREST
SEEN IN ITALY
RuinOus War With Turkey
Is Making a Bad
Impression

Rome, July .-(Special.)-As month
after month goes by bringing with 1t
no prospect OF a cessation of the ruin
Gus war with Turkey. there becomes
increasingly evident with each succeed
ing week signs of a discomfort and I'M
rest among the poorer class of people,
the end of which 1t is hard to forsee.
For upon the poor more than all others
this war. bringing with it the burden
of heavy taxation, depression In trade,
loss of wages, and lack, in many cases,
of tho ordinary necessaries of life,
presses with peculiar severity.
All over the country factories, work
shops and stores are closing. Most of
the smaller towns and cities show a
whole population lacking work and the
means to live.
The voice of the socialist with his WIS.,
ionary and unsubstantial propaganda,
of the revolutionary and the anarchist
with their insidious temptations to vio
lenee grows holder and more potent
with each day. Everywhere the signs
of feverish unrest, finding probable
vent in revolution, are more and more
evident. The gravity of the situation Is
well expressed in one tense sentence by
a we'll known English diplomat thor
oughly familiar with the trend of Eu-
ropean affairs.
"If Victor Emmanuel wishes to keep
his throne he should lose no time in
bringing to an end a war which should
never have been begun"
For all observers outside Italy realize
that revolution once begun will have
no end until the monarchy has crumbled
to dust.
An important undertaking has Just
begun aiming at the draining of the
.f..-ft- ,,..t, -
Clemente, that great ancient basilica
subterranean mithereum of which was
discovered through the researches of
Father Mullooly, prior of the Irish
Dominicans, to the care of which order
1t Is still entrusted. San Clemente Is
one of the most characteristic monu-
ments of Rome, comprising marvellous
series of construction, superimposed one
upon the other, and embracing a period
of about II centuries The lowest part
comprising building of the second or
third century before Christ where IN
the first century of the empire st
Clemente assembled the faithful of
Rome. and a pagan temple, containing
all that was necessary for the celebra4
ton of Mithraic mysteries has re-
manned for 25 years under about 10 feet
of water supposed to nave come from
some accidentally perforated ancient
Roman aqueduct. The expert engineers
having at length decided that the only
remedy to save the unique monument
from serious damage was to build
subterranean drain to carry off the Wa
ter from San Clemente TO the main sew
er of the city at Colosseum. the work
has been placed under the direct
surveillance of c. A. Mills, an English
engineer, who has studied the problem
for the last eight years, and an Italian
expert in church building.

EXCITEMENT AT JAIL

Last night about IL o'clock the usual
tranquility that prevails around the court
house was rudely disturbed by loud
smashing and crashing, sounding very
much as though some one had been hurled
bodily against some large glass object.
The night Waterman In the courthouse
sitting peacefully, was so startled that
he turned his chair over when he jumped
up. Warden Gilbert and Deputy Sheriff
Patterson in the jai! office sprang to
their feet and ran to the door. Inside
the Jail prisoners cried out wondering
what could be the matter.
AS Deputy Pat" stepped down the
steps in front of the Jail. a light step
sounded on the gravel behind him. and
he was sent head over neels into a pud-
die of water by a rough shove. When
he got his pistol out, the rude visitor
had disappeared.
An Immediate search followed. but
though every room in the courthouse was
entered. not thing that looked SUSPECT
Jus could be found Warden Gilbert in
structed the stevedores inside the Jail to
make an Investigation, but nothing was
discovered. However, the officers did
not forget their scare, and they remained
alert for anything that might result. but
no explanation for the strange noise and
the midnight visitor Was forthcoming

NEW YORK GIRL MURDERED
IN MOST FIENDISH MANNER


efinitely established the fact that the
attack occurred In vacant apartment on
the second floor of a house. beside the
lot in which the girl was found.
Evidence in the bath room of the apart
ment leads the police to the belief Julia
was murdered there. The bath tub was
blood-smeared and on the floor were
found quantities of the girls brown hair.
But the police admitted they had found
nothing which would give any idea as to
who the perpetrator of the crime might
be.
The murderer had placed his little vic
TINS body in sitting posture in a
wooden box, stuffed in the clothing and
covered the box with oil cloth. Then he
bore the box down to toe lower hallway
out through the back yard, tossed the
child into the lot, hid her clothing and
escaped.
The principal clues consist of a num-
Der of distinct finger prints on the girls
body Mrs Connors tod the police a
strange man recently had annoyed the
girk but could furnish no description of
him.

year-old girl was murdered IN fiendish
manner early today Her body bearing
Sc wounds evidently made by stilletto,
but still with breath of life was found
in a vacant lot in the Bronx. The child
died without having regained enough con-

more than the explanation that he was
"a man"
The girl was one of four children of
Edward Connors. a shipping clerk who
lives nearby. Saturday afternoon she
visited Crotona park, but disappeared.
Her parents and school chums kept up
an all night search without success. A
