CHICAGO, March 2.-Albert Becker the
self-confessed wife murderer, was today
taken by the police out on the viaduct on
the point where he claims he pushed his
wife into the lake on the afternoon of jan

where his wife stood when he threw her
into the water The police still have strong
doubts Of the truth of Becker's confession
and they are strengthened by the state

SANTIACO'S AFFAIRS MIXED
Estimates for Municipal Expenses DisallOwed
by Authorities,
SERIOUS PROBLEM IN FlNANCltRlNG
seven Hundred People on Public
works Arc to lie Put ont OF Em-
pIoyment Today and Trouble
is Feared.

SANTIAGO, Cuba, March "A climax has
been reached in the affairs of Santiago. The
estimates for February have been reduced
from $4,000 to 100000 and amounts aggre-
eating $50 600 extended last month have been
disallywed by the authorities at Havana.
General Leonard Wood military governor,
says it is imp ssible to estimate month
ahead. and says the best plan would be to
forward n certain percentage TO Havana per
month, the department commander having
the privilege Of using the balance subject
to objection later, as, under the present
system, 1t is impossible to run the govern
ment here.
For the month of March all expenditure
for the entire province must be kept within
$4,000 Even those Cubans who are most
friendly to the United States authorities say
that this amount is less than was allowed at
any time under the Spanish regime. In the
opinion of others the object OF the restric-
tion is to discredit the work already done
here by throwing out of employment large
number Of men and creating discomfort and
disturbance.
This is, of course, an altogether erro-
neous assumption, but the fact is that to-
morrow more than 700 men will be out of
work, a circumstance generally recognized
as a dangerous menace to public safety at

say 1t will necessitate the presence of addi-

does not finally result.
Unemployed May he Influenced.
Many Cuban politicians who have not re-
ceived appointments will, it is feared, use
the occurrence to influence the minds of the
unemployed. The result is difficult to fore
cast.
1t is significant, however, that the Cuban
extremists, who talk openly against Ameri-
can rule, go about explaining how 5000 of
their men, properly armed, could not gain
possession of the province of Santiago in
two days, II the plan were properly arranged
beforehand The men who indulge in this
sort OF bluster are mere nobodies, but the
fact that anybody will listen to them in
dicates the general discomfort borne of
these vexatious instructions from Havana.
Even the Americans here cannot compre-

public works in the largest province of

fact that all public works must cease.

The Senators enjoyed a day of rest yes
terday after an arduous weeks work. They
will again meet the St. Louisans this after
noon, and are confident of duplicating their
feat of Saturday and again giving the In
dams shove toward the bottom. The
locals have now reached that stage of pro-
ficiency where they can bat and field in the
same day. Seventeen hits without an err
ror is the kind of ball that will beat any
team in the League. and Manager Tebeau
will affirm this assertion. Baker will prob
ably try his cunning against the st. Louis
ans this afternoon, and Cuppy will more
than likely be his twirling adversary.
The st. Louis team is weak around in
spots, and until these positions are
strengthened its chance of capturing the
flag is decidedly remote. The absence OF
Childs has been a severe blow to their
playing strength. Blake has utterly failed
to fill his place, and only rattles around
second like the proverbial dried pea in
gourd. Mexican is also far from form, and
his attempts to play shortstop are more
amusing than instructive. The outfeld is
strong, and Tebeau is not spending many
sleepless nights in pining for Griffin. Only
a few of the men are hitting either hard
or consistently, and the pitching staff is
off in its work.
