DETECTIVES ARE BACK HOME FROM
 FRUlTLESS TRIP
Stevens, BOlanda Did Not Solve That Eight=Year=
 Old Murder

Back from a fruitless trip to California which 1t had been hoped would result in the solution of an eight-year old Waterbury murder mystery, Lieut. Detectives Joseph l Stevefis and Matthew .Balanda, re. turned to- regular duty today. Ar. irving here from the Coast yester- day afternoon, the detectives were slated today to confer with States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis.
 Following receipt of wire from the pair last week, the states at- itorney announced that he would prefer no charges against either Teofilus Latvinas, held in San Francisco or Mrs. Anna Gruzas held here, in connection with the death eight years ago of Stanley Gruzas.
 Case Was ReOpened
 The case was reopened recently when Latvinas' estranged wife. Madeline Jackson, while testifying in court after having her former husband arrested for allegedly an- moving her, claimed that Latvinas had killed Gruzas here in 1927, and had been paid $1S00 by Mrs Gruzas for committing the crime.
 When word of. the woman's charges arrived here, Lieut. Detec- lives Stevens and Balanda were sent to the coast to check up, on the woman's story. They reported back last week that her testimony was untrustworthy. and as a result, Latvinas was let go by San Fran cisco police.
 Gruzas was murdered in Tamar- anck swamp, near the St. Mar garet's school property. There was bullet wound in his hand, but death was due to fracture of the skull, the result of a heavy blow or blows with a blunt instrument

BRITISH PEOPLE IN FLIGHT FROM
 ITALIAN HOMES
Leaders Believe Great Bri= tain and Italy Will Clash
 When War Starts
BY STEWART BROWN

 Rome, Sept. 20.-,UP).-Many British residents and tourists, fear ing war, made plans today to leave the country, and some of the more timid departed for home.
 Today was Italy's day of unity and it found the nation ready for the imminent outbreak of war with Ethiopia, mindful of the sacrifices 1t may entail, but ready to meet them.
 Newspapers reflected bitterness and range at Great Britain's op- position to Benito Mussolin's plans. Il Piccolo headlined a story: Provocative perfidy of Britain threatens to lead Europe into war" Its editorial bitterly attacked Great Britain for supporting bar barrie" Ethiopia.
 Italy Has Her Rights
 "Italy has predominant rights in Ethiopia" said Il Piccolo.
 Nobody outside the actual dis pute can deny these rights nor withstand her march. Nobody. Not even the navies of his Majcsty's government. There Is no other choice. If Italy had not ex- ercised its undoubted rights, 1t

FRENCH SOURCES REPORT OFFER
 OF MUSSOLlNI
Cease Sending Troops Into Africa, If Britain Would
 FOregO Penalties
BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN (COpyright 1885 by United Prcss)

BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN (Copyright 1885 by United Prcss)
 Paris, Sept. 0--(UP)-French sources reported today that Benito Mussolini had approached Great Britain with an offer to cease sending troops to northern Africa if Britain would forego military penalties in event of an Ethiopian war. s
 Pertinant, political commentator of the newspaper Echo de Paris and perhaps Frances leading writer on foreign affairs, asserted that Brit ain would refuse the offer.
 Secret Dispatch of Troops
 The report concerned the secret dispatch-disclosed by casual dis patches in Rome newspapers-of two divisions of regulars, 30.000 men, from the east African expe- ditionary force to Libya on the Egyptian-Sudanese frontier. Such an offer, If confirmed, might be in- terpreted to imply that the troops were sent to Libya in preparation for British efforts to impose pen- alties on Italy with league of na- tions authority.
 Genevieve Tabouis, commentator of the newspaper Oeuvre. asserted that Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy, chief Italian delegate at the league

GREAT BRITAIN
 LIFE LINES ARE
 IN MUCH DANGER
Suez Canal, Malta and Gibraltar Are Guarded
 With Great Fleet
BY HOBART c. MONTEE lCopyright 1895 by United Pressl

Washington, Sept. 20.--(UP) ) Italy's specialization in highly de- veloped airplanes and submarines, rather than her ambitions to con- trol Ethiopia, constitute the real threat to the British Empires lifeline through the Mediter- ranean in view of military and naval strategists here.
 These experts are watching closely the rapidly growing ten- sion between Italy and Great Bri- tain, and the consequent concen- tration of most of Britain's sea strength between Gibralter and Suez canal,
 With technical development and advancement in the air and under the surface of the sea, Britain has lost the control which she exer- cised for so many years over the Mediterranean sea route, these of- ficials declare.
 Life Line of Empire
 This sea route is considered the very life line" of the British em- pire. linking England with India and the Far East.
 In the concentration of British ships in the Mediterranean and the feverish activity reported in confidential dispatches to be cur- rent in Italy's air forces, experts here see the possibility of an out and out test between the airplane and the battleship. In such q contest they say Italy's large force of submarines also. would be ex- pected to play an important role.
 Italy has an admitted superior- ity of airplanes. Military of-

BANDIT BEY HAS LEFT THREAT TO

Eleven Are to Die Says Elusive Slayer-He Is
 Walking Arsenal

Hadley, Mass, Sept. 20-(UP)- In a hastily-scrawled note which state police believed genuine, Johu Bey, heavily-armed fugitive slayer, today threatened the officers who have been trailing him hereabouts for nearly a week.
 The message, posted atop Mount Holyoke near the center of the search, read:
 Eleven holes for eleven cops. Look out youse guys.
 tSigned) John Bey." .t Lieutenant William V. shimkus, director of the manhunt, said:
 The writing resembles Bey's and I believe the. note Is authen- tic."
 Another Break
 Discovery of the threatening note, came only a few hours after a marauder believed to be Bey had broken into a South Hadley filling station and crossed a bridge tc Holyoke, raided hardware store and escaped in a stolen motorboat with three shotguns' and large quantity of ammunition. Sergeant Thomas Burke and Patrolman John Flannery of the state police espied the message, tackled on a shack near fire ob- scrvation tower, after they had climbed the mountain in a search for Bey. ,,t
 The message had been scrawled with pen on a scrap of paper. Police believed Bey may have stol- en fountain pen in one of the dozen breaks attributed to him since he killed Constable John B. De Carli in a gun battle at Filing ton, Conn.,, the night of Aug. 31.

 but do not c0mpel''
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER :, 1885

This is rather hazardous and un- certain day, according to astrology. It may be marked by stock fluctua- tions and unexpected financial con- ditions.
 Men who head important enter prises should profit under this sway which encourages the beginning of ambitious projects for both merch- ants and manufacturers.
 Women should keep much in the background while this conflagration prevails. Their aid in public ser vice will be greatly needed, but 1t will not be sought until extreme orders cause it to be requisitioned.
 There shoud be. a better under standing of public issues on the part of workers of many sorts, under this direction of the stars. There will be such activity in certain industries.
 Naval affairs now may be dis cussed with more sympathy than us- ual. Movements of battleships will be of unusual interest, especially on the Pacific Coast.
 British colonies now will offer ser- ious problems disturbing to the gov ernment. The conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter this month is for tunate for business and investments.
 Much American money is to go to foreign countries, it is foretold, and sensational revolutions may affect the millionaires of the United States.
 Girls should find this evening a most suspicious time for social gym cites. Suitors are likely to be numer- ous and romance wide spread.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of financial gain, but there may be more or less strife connected with it. Friendship from elders will be helpful.
 Children born on this day probably will be artistic and fond of the limelight Many subjects of this sign succeed through determined ef- fort.

SMALL BOAT HARBoR NEED PRESSING.

As Juneau awaits the arrival of Army engineers 70 make survey with the aim of recommending ste for small boat harbor suggestions are being made by various citizens expressing their opinions as to the best location It is healthy sign and reveals the wide interest there is in the project
 It doesn't matter so much just where the small boat harbor is eventually situated but it is important that it be built and the earliest possible date may be that these suggestions will be found some ideas of value to the Army experts which may fit in with the plans already worked out by the city.
 The City Council already has set aside s50o0 toward the cost of devlopment which is estimated to run around s20O0O and its plan calls for utilizing both sides of Willoughby Avenue north of Femmer's Dock Other ideas are advanced for using frontage north of the new Douglas Island bridge which may prove helpful to the engineers in making their survey.
 It cannot be overlooked that the need is pressing The Alaska Juneau have given notice that it pro- poses the property now occupied by the Lower City Float and small boats will have to vacate. There is no place for them to go and there scores Of them Some of the fishing boats might be forced to seek berths in other cities. Ketchkan for example is the home of hundreds of troers every winter be- of the adequate harbor there There are other boats such those in Government service and private crafts all of which must have place to While the suggestions are being made it is hoped that as prompt action might be forthcoming from other sources that given by the city when it set aside the initial funds Cts.s
