HE KILLED HIS WIFE
Tore the Revolver from Her Hand and
Fired Fatal Shots.

New York, Aug. 31.-Samuel Peitner.
a private detective, confessed today,
according to the coroner's office, that
it was he who shot and killed his wife
in his Office last night. Mrs. Leitner
was shot five times with a revolver.
After his arrest Leitner persistentiy
maintained that he was sitting in his
Office when he heard Shots Upon
running into the hallway he told the
police, he found his wife on the floor
and saw two men running away. Lett
ner's story, according to a statement
issued by the coroner's Office was one
of long domestic troubles. Mrs. Lett
ner left five small children.
The revolver was lying on my
desk Leitner was quoted as saying,
after my wife was about to stab me
with hat pin, which I was not afraid
OF, she grabbed the revolver. 1 tore
it away from her and fired the shots
that finished her"

london, Aug. 81, 1910 p. m.-The
Russians thus far have prevented the
Germans and Austrians from carrying
into effect their efforts to force back
the two extreme wings of the armies
of Grand Duke Nicholas. At the north
ern extremity of the front that por-
ton of Field Marshal Won linden
burg's army commanded by General
Won Buelow is still fighting for the
brfdge-head south of Friedrichstadt,
while the Austro- German forces under
General Bothmer, who broke through
the Russian lines on either side of
Brzezany, Galicia, have been checked
at some points on the Stripa river.
Along the rest of the front the Ger
mans claim to be making headWay'
although some who got through the
forest region east of Bialystok have
suffered a reverse at the hands of the
Russian rear guard. The points OF
most interest, however, are at the two
wings. The Germans near Friedrich
stadt are well east of Riga and mill
tary experts here say that unless the
Russians can dispose considerable
force SO as to threaten the Teutonic
1ank il appears improbable that Fried
richstadt can be held much longer
without grave danger. The threat
against the other wing is not so serious
as it is more distant, and the difhcul-
ties of the country are too great for
rapid advance.
In the western theatre of war, the
French continue artillery attacks on
the German lines and concentration
points, without as yet any evidence Of
q general offensive.
The Italians are more active and to-
night report the capture of another
strong Austrian position southeast of
Trent and of some Austrian trenches
on the Carso on the road to Triest.
According to Italian accounts, the
italian progress. while naturally slow
because of the nature of the country
to be traversed. Is continuous.
Except for the Turkish official re-
ports already published. there is no
news of the fighting Saturday and
Sunday on the Gallipoi peninsula.

gotia4ions are moving more quickly.

SERIOUS WEAKNESSES IN
F TYPE OF SUBMARINE.
Report Made Public Yesterday by the
Board of Inquiry.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Serious weak
nesses common to all four of the navy S
F type of Submarine are pointed out in
the report. made public today, of the
board of inquiry which made an in
vestigation at Honolulu Immediately
after the loss of the F-4, with her crew
of %, last March. So far as could be
determined before the boat was raised,
the board found that every possible
precaution had been taken within the
limitations of design, and the report
pays tribute to- the efficiency of the
men who lost their lives.
With the F-4 now in drydock at
Honolulu. a new board headed by Rear
Admiral Bousch has been appointed by
the navy department to ascertain if
possible the cause of the disaster.
Although the first board reported
that It could draw no conclusion as to
the cause, the possibility that the
crew might have been killed by chlo-
rine gas is indicated in the finding
that:
Sea water has at times seeped into

New York, Aug. 31.-The tremend-
Gus export trade of the United
States, in which the country leads the
world for the first time, was imperilled
today by an alarming drop In foreign
exchange rates, notably sterling.
At the close of business tonight the
English pound fetched but $4.55 IA
IN American money. This is drop
from its normal value of 81 "a ments;
from it's value of August l. OF 20 S-4
cents and from its quotation last
night of "a cents, a twenty-four
cedent 1t marked the lowest values
yet recorded in an excited market
where every day recently has set
new record of depreciation; and it
indicated that sterling was headed
downward with momentum Nat
that promised to take it to levels un-
thought of ten days ago.
Factories May Feel Pinch.
In the face of these rapid deprecia-
tions, bankers here were wondering
tonight how much longer Great
Britain would pay the premium and
buy goods in this market which she
can get elsewhere where the value
of her money is greater. They were
of the opinion that American factories
and producers would feel the pinch if
rates went much lower; that cam
collation. of gar orders for everything
except what Great Britain cannot af-
ford to do without-powder and shot,
rifles and shrapnel, aeroplanes and au-
tomobiles-would follow; and that
there would be few new orders placed
| by London in America except for pos
five necessities.
Mammoth Credit Loan the Remedy.
The reason and the remedy seemed
| clear in the minds of international
bankers here. The English pound has
become deprecated. they said, because
London has failed to provide a method
| here of paying the big bills now COM
ing due to American shippers; the
remedy would be, they thought, to es-
tablish quickly, very quickly, unless
sterling should become still further
| debased-a mammoth credit loan in
| this market America does not want
| British gold to pay for supplies; on
| this point opinion was unanimous.
Vaults choked With Gold.
The vaults of Wall street and the
I banks in the interior are already
| choking with gold. More gold would
| tend to create a period of enormous
| imitation.
Loans on Approved Collateral.
What New York bankers want to dc
is lend Great Britain an enormous sun

here on approved collateral of high
| class American railway and industria
| stocks and bonds. This, it is be.
| iieved, will restore conditions to near.
