NEW YORK. Oct. 12. "We will have so complete a case against Becker when we rest, that his attorneys themselves will be astonished." declared District Attorney Whitman when the trial of the accused police lieutsnant was resumed before Justice Goff and a Jury today.

Diplomats were appalled today by reports that peace negotiations have been broken off between Turkey and Italy and that an Italian fleet is on its way to attempt the passage of the Dardanelles.

The strait is heavily rained and fortified, but Italian vessels might break through and, once within, they would have Constantinople at their mercy. A descent upon European Turkey is what the powers have been trying to prevent on account of the danger of international complications. Now the situation is precarious. With an Ital- ian fleet in the Sea of Marmora and Italian troops probably landing on the Turkish coast, the last hope of checking a simultaneous invasion of the Sultan's dominions by all the Balkan nations would be gone. With its capital dominated by the guns of a hostile fleet, or battered to pieces by their fire, and a ring of Italian, Greek, Montenegrin, Servian and Bulgarian troops closing in on its defenders, Turkey's end is inevitable.

This would mean a rush by all the powers for a share of the Sultan's territory, and only by a miracle could a division be effected without a struggle. Margherita" of Italy, beloved by her subjects and dne" of the most powerful sovereigns of the European nations, is a daughter of King Nicholas of Montenegro.

is Man Identified by Two Witnesses as Stayer of Rosenthal Asks Inspector Hughes to See That He Gets a "Rat's Chance," By United Press. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. "All I want is a rat's chance. I am not afraid of death and I don't give a damn about the electric chair," protested "Whitey" Lewis (Frank Muller), Identified by two witnesses as the man who shot gambler Herman Rosenthal, to Police Inspector Edward Hughes today.

Lewis was in the prison pen in the Criminal Courts building, awaiting the call to be taken into the court room, where the Becker murder trial is in progress, and he sent for Hughes to ask him to see that the identifications were made on the "level." After the interview Hughes, a policeman of years' experience, declared the gun man was the most fearless man that he ever encountered. Wants It on the "Level." "I don't care how many witnesses Identify me and say that I croaked Rosenthal." Hughes says Lewis said to him, "but I want it done in a regular way. I ought to get a square deal in view of the facts that the coppers arid the district attorney want to send me to the electric chair. "This business of dragging me into the court room where there can be no mistake of the man they want identified is dead wrong and would not be allowed by a square Judge.

Austrian officialdom was undlsgulsedly, enrage today at reports of the Montenegrin occupation of Blelopolle. In the Sanjak of Novibazar. Austria considers the one of Its own especial spheres of influence. It Is said already to have some troops there and it certainly has a strong force within striking distance. If the Montenegrins seem likely to establish themselves in the Sanjak it is a foregone conclusion that an AuBtrlan advance Into the territory will follow, with every probability of an Austro-Montenegrln clash.

This undoubtedly would mean Austro-Russian occupations, since the Czar is Montenegro's backer. The situation in Novtbazar is only one of the many threatening features of the Balkan difficulty.
