PASSED AS WOMAN
FOR TWENTY YEARS
RidIcu'ed for Effeminacy When
Young, so Adopted the
Disguise

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Sept. o.
For twenty years Christian Becker,
said to be known to President Roose-
welt and other noted people in the
United States as Emma Becker, cook,
masqueraded as woman. He, was
employed as a female cook in many
of New York's rich families and al
though he came in contact with corps
of female servants, his disguise was
never detected. Had it not been that
Becker was taken i'll in New Rochelle
restaurant and the police were called
in to assist him to the hospital, he
probably would have gone through life
undetected. AS 1t is, he will spend
the next four months in the Kings
county penitentiary for masquerading.
Sergeant Kelly was alone in the New
Rochelle police station at midnight
when telephone message came in
from Main street restaurant, stating
that a woman had been taken i'll and
was dying. Kelly sent in call for the
the restaurant.
Becker Is Unmasked
When he arrived, Becker, in an un-
conscious state, was at table, resting
his head on his hands. Kelly removed
the supposed woman's veil and hat and
in doing SO he also took off wig. With
the veil and wig off, the sergeant de-
tected that the masQueraded woman
had beard as strong as his own.
Stimulants were administered, and
when Becker recovered Sergeant Kelly
asked: Where do you get shaved %
Becker became startled and realized
that his disguise had been removed.
Dropping to his knees he begged to
be allowed to return to New York.
Come with me-" said Sergeant-Kel-
ly. who escorted the female imper-
senator to the station house.
When arraigned before Judge Van
Auken, in the court of special sessions,
Becker said that he lived in East Fiji
tieth street, New York. Upon being
asked what he had to say for himself,
he made the following explanations:
Boys Called Him Girls Names
when I was young man I had a
tenor voice and used to sing in the
choir. The boys used to poke fun at
me on account of my voice, and made
life almost unbearable. Wherever I
went the boys used to call me girls
names. I couldn't stand it any longer.

pass as such. That was twenty years
ago. Since then I have been known ais
Emma Becker. Eighteen years ago i
worked for President Roosevelt's fam
lily. I was employed as a female cook
and worked for them for year with
out being detected
Becker said that he worked for a
number of prominent New York fami-
lies, and always successfully passed
himself off as a woman. He pleaded
with Judge Van Auken for permission
to return to New York.

and black gloves. He also had on a

the prisoners story he always wore the

A salesman for bicycle concern
met farmer in nearby state to
whom he tried to sell a wheel without
success. The salesman finally gave
him up in despair, but determined to
make another effort on his return trip.
A month later he made his way to the
farmhouse, only to learn, to his disap-
pointment, that his prospective Gus
toner had invested his savings in a
cow-an act of folly upon which the
salesman was moved to comment:

HARD BLOW TO STATELINE.
Johnny Mine Closed Down and Put
in Charge of Watchman.

The news that the Johnny mine at
Stateline, just across the Nevada line in
Utah. has been closed down indefinitely
comes as a surprise. A few years ago
this mine was sold by the Dooley
brothers, then of DeLamar, Lincoln
County. to the present owners for big
sum of money, and ever since it has
been expected that the mine would be
record breaker as a gold producer.
The following concerning the property
is taken from the Salt Lake Herald of
Sept. IS:
The Johnny gold mine at Stateline
has been closed down, the pumps drawn
and the men employed at the property
have been discharged. and the works
have been placed in charge of a watch.
man. After spending some little time
at the property and satisfying himself
that there was little in sight but dis
couragement and heavy expense, Mana
ger Frank Wilson took the action
stated.
A month or two ago the mill was
closed down and the management an
nounced that it was the intention to
develop at greater depth and block out
more ore before starting the mill again.
Larger pumps We're installed and 1t has
been reported very recently that the
mine was opening up well. In the face
of these reports, none Of which has been
officially made. however. comes the news
that the property has been abandoned.
When the proposition will be tackled
again, if ever, is not known, but it looks
as though the proposition had been
given up as a bad job. and to the busi-
ness men of Stateline the closedown
means the practical abandonment of
the camp, and will result in their hav-
ing to pull out.
