Nine people were injured.

"Why did they do it? It was Halloween," said a police officer. "Last night, things just got out of hand." A 35-year-old homeless man, whose name was not released while police searched for relatives to notify, had his throat slashed and was pronounced dead at the scene, said a police spokeswoman, Officer Janice Swinney. The wooded area where the attack occurred "looked like a horror movie. It was in the dark, down a little path," the police source said. The gang, which police said consisted of 10 to 12 people, crossed a footbridge at 102nd Street in Manhattan into Ward's Island on Hal: loween night.

Ward's Island is home to the fire department training academy, several psychiatric hospitals and a sewage disposal plant. It lies beneath the Triborough Bridge in the East River. "They went armed with meat cleavers, bats with nails in them, and pipes. They were going to do serious damage," the source said. The gang walked to the homeless settlement and began attacking the homeless men, the source said.

WASHINGTON (AP) Homeless advocates predict that District of Columbia voters on Tuesday will restore one of the nation's most comprehensive homeless shelter laws, which was gutted because of city budget woes. The city council, fighting a $100 million budget deficit, scaled back the 1984 law earlier this year amid complaints that housing the homeless has grown too expensive. Homeless advocates argue that costs have risen because city shelters are run inefficiently. The advocates gathered petition signatures from 43,000 voters to place a referendum on the ballot for Tuesday's election. It would reinstate the requirement to provide emergency overnight shelter to anyone who requests it.

"I think we're going to win, maybe by a small margin, but we are going to win," said Carol Fennelly of the Community for Creative Non-Violence. "The people of this city still want the district to do the right thing." A poll in June showed support for such a ballot proposal at 71 percent. But an economic downturn has advocates worried that the referendum won't gain sweeping support. "We live in a time right now where people feel a certain amount of economic instability themselves," Fennelly said. "Even though some of these people may now realize they are one or two paychecks away from homelessness, the tendency may be to be conservative." Democratic mayoral nominee Sharon Pratt Dixon and Maurice Turner, her Republican counterpart, oppose the measure.

Homeless advocates got a boost last week from a judge. A temporary restraining order now bars the district from distributing anti-initiative literature that had been printed with taxpayer money.

The other defendants are: Sally Ann Croft, also known as Ma Prem Savita; Ann Phyllis McCarthy, also known as Ma Yoga Vidya; Susan Lissanevitch, also known as Ma Anand Su; Catherine Jane Stubbs, also known as Ma Shanti Bhadra; Carol Matthews, also known as Ma Prem Samadhi; and Richard Kevin Langford, also known as Swami Anugiten. the line was even longer. Then, in desperation, she followed a couple into the men's room.

Potential jurors were asked if they'd ever been in a public restroom intended for the opposite sex. Ten of the 30 potential jurors raised their hands. Each explained their reasons, including the same reason offered by Wells, that there were too many women waiting for their restroom while the men's room had toilets available. By mid-afternoon no one was removed from the jury pool. "Even though it's a minimal case, it's still a crime and it's my belief and Denise's belief that she did not violate that ordinance," said another lawyer for Wells, Christopher Tritico.

Tritico said Wells did not enter the men's room to shock anyone. "She violated a city ordinance," said Karl Rosette, the prosecutor. "She entered without the permission of the person in charge." memorial Williams and Marlenee blamed each other for the bill's failure. Williams said Marlenee left the House before the crucial vote. He said if Marlenee had been present "we could have worked something out.

We could have passed the bill." Marlenee said he left only after he realized Williams would not budge on the issue. "When Bruce Vento said he wasn't going to bring the bill up (to the full House,) that told me the bill wasn't going to be considered this session," Marlenee said. for pi otting PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Ma Anand Sheela was among seven followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh who conspired to kill U.S. Attorney Charles Turner, alleged a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.

Sheela was personal secretary to the late guru when he ran the Oregon commune of Rajneeshpuram. She had been imprisoned on unrelated federal charges until her deportation in 1988 to Germany. The plot was disclosed earlier this year and some arrests were made, but Thurday was the first time Sheela's involvement was alleged. The indictment was issued in May but sealed until the defendants could be arrested. All but Sheela, 41, who is a na Some states, including New York and Virginia, have approved so-called potty parity regulations that give women as many or more toilets than men to compensate for the longer time that women can take.

In 1988, two Virginia Tech researchers with stopwatches and questionnaires found that a woman's visit to a public restroom runs 50 percent longer than a man's. Davenport said her client's defense in the trial that was expected to last at least two days would be based on a clause in the law saying the person intended to cause a disturbance. "She was just trying to go to the bathroom, not cause a disturbance," Davenport said. Wells used the men's restroom at The Summit during the July 7 concert by country music star George Strait because the line outside the women's restroom was too long. Davenport said her sister waited until intermission ended and again tried to use the women's room, but Marlenee said he didn't want the name change until public hearings could be held in Montana.

He argued that some congressmen would oppose the name change and would try to defeat the bill if it was included. He and Campbell said there was an understanding in the public lands committee of which Williams is a member that the name change would be left out of this year's legislation and be included in a bill during the next session of Congress. Marlenee and Campbell said they were surprised by William's last-minute request. Five more men have pleaded guilty to federal drug charges stemming from the multimillion dollar marijuana smuggling ring directed in part by former professional race car driver Randy Lanier. The latest defendants pleaded guilty in U.S.

District Court in Benton, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

"I'm so damned mad and frustrated," he said by telephone.

"After working for two years on that bill to have it fail in the last hour of the session." Campbell said the two congressmen "were within eyesight of each other" in the House chambers, but refused to talk. "When they wouldn't even talk to each other I finally gave up," he said. "They were both trying so hard to do something good for the Indians that they both ended up hurting them." r9 mZ Photo for The John Clyde (left) and Rich Noren, both employees of El Greco's in Carbondale, sweep trash from in front of the restaurant into the street about 2:30 a.m. for a street sweeper to pick up after Wednesday night's impromptu party on South Illinois Avenue. HOUSTON (AP) Lawy ers began picking a panel Thursday in a case of potty parity.

Denise Wells, a 33-year-old legal secretary, is being tried for using the men's restroom at a concert. Her trip to the toilet made national news and led to talk-show appearances with Johnny Carson, Geraldo Rivera and Joan Rivers. But on Thursday she was barred by her lawyer and sister, Valorie Wells Davenport, from talking to reporters. At one point before the proceedings began, she went to the women's restroom and emerged smiling while nearly a dozen photographers clicked away. She was ticketed for allegedly violating a city ordinance that bars members of one sex from using a public restroom designed for members of the opposite sex in a manner calculated to cause a disturbance.

She faces up to a $200 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor. The chairman of the subcommittee responsible for the bill, Rep. Bruce Vento, said Wednesday he couldn't bring the bill before the House for a vote without agreement between the Montana congressmen. The bill would have authorized a monument for the Indians who died fighting Custer's troops. Williams and Marlenee supported the memorial, but disagreed over the name of the site now known as the Custer Battlefield National Monument.

Indian groups wanted Congress to change the name to the Little Big Horn National Battlefield, a name that did not honor Custer. pat between Congressmen kills Indian LARRY G.
