turf Has 437,163 Signatures. Antonio Spano, who was known as the "Cavalier," was seen by the police last night when the 'latest victim of gangland was identified as Antonio De Steffano Pelledrino, bootlegger associate of Frank Capello, murdered chauffeur of Spano. Pelledrino had been strangled to death and his slayers had attempted to burn his body to frustrate identification. The body was identified last night in a morgue in Chicago Heights by Pasquale Long, owner of a restaurant in 14th street, and by attaches of the Victoria hotel, where Pelledrino formerly lived. Near Former Murder Scene.

Felledrino's charred body was found early yesterday lying in the Crr road, just northeast of Chicago Heights, by a woman, who notified the police by telephone and then hung up the receiver before her name could be learned. The scene of where the body was found is only a short distance from where Capello's body was found last Sunday, riddled with bullets. Follcrwing the identification the police considered two theories of the murder: That Pelledrino had been murdered because he knew the identity of the slayers of his chieftain, Capello. That he was killed by members of the faction with which he was affiliated because he had set himself up as a dictator or had entered the Chicago Heights bootlegging business independently. Pelledrino evidently had been taken for a ride, but his slayers.

Instead of disposing of him with guns in the customary fashion, chose to strangle him. A rope was tied tightly about his neck.

The strike order was issued, it was asserted, in connection with a walkout of musicians in San Francisco. Willing to Boost Wages, But Yesterday members of the Exhibitors' Association of Chicago met to discuss the situation. On adjournment it was announced by Jack Miller, the association's business representative, that theater managers are willing to grant the musicians a wage increase, but insist on the right to adjust certain working rules. Miller said the managers also are willing to submit the controversy to arbitration. But this method of adjustment was rejected by Petrillo.

The union is demanding a wage boost from $82.50 to $86 a week, an increase in rehearsal rates from $2 to $4, a rest period of 20 minutes instead of the present 15 minutes, and a reduction of the Sunday seven hour day to six hours to correspond with the weekday schedule. Theaters' Stand Explained. Motion picture theater managers want to reduce the working shifts from six hours to 54 hours on week days, the extra time to be added to the Saturday and Sunday schedules. Vaudeville managers claim they should be entitled to the privilege of discharging musicians at any time during the season. Union rules specify that once a musician is hired beyond the two week period he shall continue in that employment for a full season.

A number of Democratic women leaders rode in another truck. Coincident with the filing of the petition.

Acquaintances of Pelledrino said they had seen the murder victim often in company of both the Cavalier and Capello. The total toll in the battle for supremacy in the Chicago Heights liquor war is expected to take ten lives and thus far eight have died. The casualties started on June 1, when James Lamberta, called the terrorist of a bootleg ring, and Crystal Barrier were killed when they were fired on in front of a cafe operated by Phillip Piazza on the Dixie highway.

Piazza, said to have been czar of the syndicate, was the next to die. He was slain in front of another saloon he had owned in Chicago Heights by unidentified assassins on July 22.
