BY HIS CELLMATE
Rew Over Foreign Pronuncia

Eastern Penitentiary
VICTIM WAS PHILA. MAN
At the climax of a quarrel ever
Spanish nnd Italian pronunciations,
Sebastlne Bnlestrieri, of this city, In
the Eastern Penitentiary for attempted
wlfe murder, was struck down by a
cellmate and died early today In the
prison hospital.
The qunrrel occurred Sunday after
noon. The blew with the arm of n
rocking chair was dealt by Themas
Ilrisle Sllvn,n burglar, who was sen
tenced from Chester County March 0
last te nlne te ten yenrs.
It was the second murder in the
Eastern Penitentiary in less than four
months. On May 31 Frnnclsce Saris,
sentenced from Allcntewn for assault
with Intent te kill, was stnbbcd te death
in the prison courtyard by Peter Ma Ma
rene, a convict from Carben County.
The men were said te have quarreled
ever records for n phonograph they had
in their cell.
An overseer in Ne. 7 block In the pen
itentiary heard scuffling and angry cries
in the cell shared by Ilalestrlerl nnd
Sllva, with a third convict. The over ever
hcer found Sllva en a cot and Bales
trlcrl trying te throttle him. Bleed
flowed from a wound en the latter's
head.
Physicians In the prison hospital
found that.Balestrlerl's skull was frac
tured. He died at 12:15 o'clock this
morning.
"A Spanish and an Italian dictionary
wrre en the table In the cell." said
Warden Melvcnty today. "The thld
man In the cell said the ethers fre
quently conversed In loud tones, al
though he did net knew what they
were talking about. They seemed te be
disputing the pronunciation of words
which they found in the dictionaries."
The warden said the convicts began
wrangling Sunday, nnd that Sllva sud
denly wrenched the arm from n chnlr
nnd hit the ether man. Sllva has been
placed In solitary confinement until the
Corener acts.
Ualestrlerl was sentenced from this

Chase3 Them a Mile
When Miss Catherine Brcyer, daugh
ter of Henry W. llreyer, of Ogontz.
emerged frcm the deer of the' home of
Parker HlppUe, 4031 North Twelfth
street, late Inst night te return te her
own home, she stepped into n shower of
bullets from the wcapenH of meter ban
dits who were trying te stenl the llreyer
automeblln from Harry Brown, Negro
chauffeur, Mr. Breyer is head of the
Breyer Ice Cream Company.
The Negro Is In St. Luke's Hospital
leday gerleuslv Injured, and thn auto
mobile Is riddled with bullet holes as
the result of the battle between Brown
and the bandits.
Brown, nltheugh wounded twice nntl
unarmed, chased the bnndlts for mere
then a mile before going te the hospital.
Miss Breyer had gene te the Hippie
home enrly last evening te attend a so
cial function and had left Instructions te
the chauffeur te return for her nt 10 :30
o'clock.
Bandits In Anether Car
Just ns he drove un te the house and
left his machine te ring the bell for Mls
Ureyer, another automobile pulled
alongside the Breyer car. Three men
leaped Inte it from ihe ether ear. Twe
ether bandits remnined rented In the
car in which they drove up.
Brown, ecclntf the attempt te make
off with the car, and hanring the purr;
of his meter as the bandits started It,
ran from the perch nnd sprang upon
the nearest of the three bnndlts, just in
time te prevent the Inttcr from drawing
his revolver. At the moment another
of the men struck him ever the head.
The two bnndlts who had remained
In their car joined in the bnttlc. Brown
fought desperately. He knocked down
one bnndit and bit nnether a terrific
blew which sent him staggering against
the side of the automobile.
Enraged, the bandits drew their pis
tols nnd began firing. Twe shots struck
the chnuffpur, one in the left arm and
nnether in the left side, near the heart.
Five ether bullets hit the nutoinebllc.
Guests Appear, Bandits Flee
Guests nt the Hippie party, including1
Miss Brtver, heard 'he sheU njjjj riu
te the front deer. Tlmlmnilits, 'still"
sheeting, scrambled Inte their car und
drove en Twelfth street te Rockland
rend, then down that read.
Brown jumped Inte the Breyer ear
nnd chased them for mom than a tulle
until he was compelled te give up the
pursuit because of wenkness from pain
nnd less of blend. Then he drove te
St. Luke's Hospital and asked for
treatment.
This morning It was said at the hos
pital that his wounds were serious, but
that he had a geed chance of recovery.
Police of the Brnnchtewn station
were notified of the attempted robbery
and the bnttlc which followed It by Mr.
Hippie. Motorcycle police took up the
search and filers were tent te nil sta
tion houses throughout the city nnd
nearby points te be en the lookout for
the bandits, but no trace could be found
of them aft,er Brown wns forced te
give up his chase.
Miss Breyer's father commended the
Negro's bravery In lighting the bandits.
"I have found Brown te lie a line,
steady man," he snld. "lie is net the
kind of man that bandits would have
an easy time overcoming, cither, but
I de net think lie should have placed
his life in jeopardy the way he did just
te save an nutomebile. When he saw
them get into the machine, he should
have let them go ahead nnd take it.
Five tinned men are mere than -enc
man. unarmed, should attempt te
tackle."

Washington, Sept. 27. The State
Deportment hns before it some irffermnl
proposals from Belgium with regard te
the calling of nn economic conference
In Ktuope. Ne date has been set by Bel
glum, nltheugh the month of December
linn hppn HOffiresterl.
It is genernlly expected here that If
the subjects te be discussed nt such n
conference arc sufficiently limited the
United States will be renresentcd. The
administration's position, ns stated at
the While Heuse, Is. that this country
would take pnrt in such nn International
meeting "nt the proper time."
This country has all along Inclined
tewnrd an economic conference. It
would hnvc taken pnrt nt Genea If that
congress had been limited te the con
sideration of business, and It has re
cently proposed the sending of an
economic commission te Russin. Plans
even went se for In this case that the
personnel of the commission was vir
tually decided udeu, it being understood
that Secretnry Hoever was te head It.
Debts Cancellation Barred
Meanwhile Theodere E. Burten, who
Is a member of the Debt-Funding Com
mission, is practically serving notice
upon Europe thut the question of can
celling debts se fnr as this country is
concerned, ennnet come up nt any such
conference. In his nddrcss in Londen
yesterday he pronounced the inter-allied
debts sacred.
Ne extravagant expectations are en
tertained here about the results of such
a conference. This country's entrance
Inte it and Secretary Hughes' pro
nouncement upon the Far Eastern ques
tion yesterday cannot be regarded ns
lndicnting that the United States Is
turning its eyes tewnrd Europe once
mere.
Mr. Hughes' dcclnrntien of sympnthy
with thn English attitude tewnrd Tur
key nnd the keeping open of the Dnr
dnnclles nnd wnters connected with it
represents the utmost of this country's
participation In the Near East. The
statement wns mnde in response te pres
sure from church und missionary so
cieties' Interested in the Near East,
which desire te have this country exer
cise its influence in that quurter und
take pnrt In the conference for the &ct
tlcmeut of the Turkish question.
Tendency Toward Isolation
Technically we have no place in Mich
a conference. Thn British regard It as
a contluunnce of the negotiations which
led te the Treaty of Sevres, which et
tled the war ngalust Turkey. The
United Stntcs, In response te church
pressure, never declared war en Tur
key, and has no place In the making
of peace.
The whole tendency is toward Isola
tion en the part of this country and
toward the discrediting of international
co-operation. It Is only n symptom of
the Stnte of the public mind thnt the
Democratic managers decided te keep
the League of Nntieim out of the com
ing rampuign. Only ex-President Wil Wil
eon is dissatisfied with this decision of
the Democrats, nnd even he has been
nble te restrnin himself thus fnr ut
least from Issuing a statement criticis
ing his party leaders such a statement
has been expected from him.

liu Asteciated Prtaa
Londen, Sept. 27. The abdication
of King Constantine of Greece is
accepted as an accomplished fact ill
the highest official quarters here.
This is based en a message from
a high diplomatic official at Athens
which is understood te state that he
hnd received information of ths
King's abdication and believed the
information te be true, although h
was unable te confirm it owing te
the unsettled conditions attending
the revolutionary movement.
Constantine Abdicates
Advices from prltate Beurces tend t
confirm the fact thut the Greek king haa
abdicated. A lie liter dispatch from
Athens, received shortly before 7 o'clock
this evening, states positively the King?
hns given up his throne.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Athens received nbeut the same time)
said it wus affirmed that the King had
"decided te ngrcc te the demands of ths
revolutionaries. "
An earlier Central News dipntch
fro the Greek capital said the King
Mgned the abdication decree without
renenntlen.
All Greece K In the grip of the reT reT reT
olutlennry movement which has resulted,
in the downfall of the Government
At least pnrt of the navy hns geno
against the Government and several
warships nnd transports manned by
revolutionaries are believed te be nd
vnnclng en the capital from the Aegean
Islnnds, where the revolt originated.
Troops In Mutiny
The revolutionary movement Is
headed by an officer named Gonatas,
variously described as a general and a
colonel, who erganised the soldier en
the Islands of Mitylene and Chies, nf;
the Smyrna cenM. te which they wers
, removed following their crushing defeat
j by the Turkish Nationalists. An order
for the demobilization of thete troops
is said te hne the Immediate caiicc of,
their mutiny.
The revolt quickly spieud te the nnvjr
nnd ninny of the warships refused te
answer queries sent out by the Ad
miralty. An airplane nppenred ever?
Athens nnd sheweicd the city with
pamphlet, signed by Genatns nnd d
munulng the resignation of the Gov
ernment 11 ml the abdication of the king.
This created turmoil in the capital,
and crowds surged through the streets
nnd about the public buildings. Then
a number of the wnr vessels sturtcd for
Athens
A large number et troops mutinied In
Sulenikl, but this development Is said
te have taken thn form of u military
movement organized in Thracu ugainst
the Turks,
Official circles here believe former
Premier Venlzeles has had no part in
the revolt llecause of his importance,
however, and Ills large personal fol
lowing III Greece, it is pointed out that
he will hardly be nble te avoid Ilgurlnr
In the subsequent developments.
The Greek revolutionaries announce
thnt every officer of the fleet nnd mem
bers of the crews nre wholly with them,
according te a Central News dispatch
from Athens. The revolutionary movs mevs
tnent is making headway in all direc
tions. Ne official statement ban been Issued,
but It Is understood that the retiring
Cabinet drew up a manifesto addressed
te the people.
Thus fur the revolution hns been
bloodless, despite the excitement of the
people, who were surging through the
streets nnd gathering outside the pub
lic buildings.
One European news ngenry reports
the abdication of King Constantine In
fuer ' Crown Prince Geerge, but his
Is illsceuiited by direct advices from the
Associated Press correspondent, who
quotes the King as stating cutcgerlcaly
that he will stick te the throne until
his people have told him they no longer
want him.
