London, Dec. 13.-London society
is taking a great interest in the at
tempt to revive the Dickens Christ
mas spirit on Christmas eve. The
devoted band which has worked on
this enterprise for a number or
years is meeting with more encour-
agement this year than ever before
The Dickens Centenary Christmas
prty has arranged TO hold Christ
mas in Rochester and will travel
down by. coach. Every one is to be
in costume. The characters Dickens
created will foregather in the inn
he frequented and made famous
Nice house, good beds (Jingle).
The inn stands today exactly as it
is described in the first chapter Of
''Pickwick Papers"
Each day brings signs of greater
unrest in the railroad world and
through Ireland is the seat of the
trouble this time, it is highly prob
able that the English roads VIII be-
come involved If an open conflict
develops. The dispute is over the
conciliation scheme which repre-
sentatives of the men accepted in
the settlement Of the August, 1912,
strike, and by which they entered
into bargain with the railway COM
panies to keep peace for three years.
Already trouble has arisen, and,
according to ]. H. Thomas, M. p.
secretary of the Amalsamated So
ciety of Railway Servants, is rap
idly developing into serious proper
tions. He insists that there is dan
ger of another strike.

Foreigners who have always ad-
vanced their fear of the streets of
Paris at night as an objection to
visit the French city, will no longer
have need of such fears for new
supplementary night police force has
been organized, who will shortly pa
troll all the more dangerous streets
of the city at night. The innuva-
ton has caused great satisfaction
not only in Paris but in other cit

said that the French capital will
be visited by more foreigners than
ever during the present season.
The Germans are determined to
push with all possible vigor the
sea reforms advocated by Kaiser

The Princesses of the German
royal family have taken to follow

siasm and there is no doubt that
this sport will receive renewed
popularity as a result. The crown
Princess with Princess Eitel and

following the hounds in the weekly
Court Hunts. Princess Victoria Lu-

Weber COolly Tells Plans
of Msenthal Staying.
STRONGLY ACCUSES BECKER.
Corroborates Testimony Of Jack Rose.
Lent Becker $1,000 to Pay of Gum
men-Sent S1o to Widow Of
Slain Gambler.

New York, Oct. 10. 49, The moneyed
man of the Rosenthal murderers,
Bridgie Webber. told on the witness
stand a story of Lieutenant Beckers
hate for Rosenthal, of Beckers savage
insistence on murder and of his own
share in the crime that matched the
cold blooded narrative that Jack Rose
supplied last Saturday
Rose now and then displayed trace
of human feeling, Webber's story was
as cold and emotionless as If they
came from frozen heart. Money,
murder, the whirl of roulette wheel,
friendship, revenge no one thing
moved him more than another. His
voice and manner were precisely the
same when he told about sending the
gunner to the Metropole to kill Rosen-
thai as when he admitted that he had
Immediately sent so to the widow.
His testimony was effective for the
prosecution in that it not only cor.
roborated every shred of Roses testi-
mony, but also supplied details which
were more shocking in their regards
to Lieutenant Becker than anything
Rose had said. He took upon himself
responsibility for the inside manage
ment Of the murder-that and the
financial details.
Sent Money to Pay Gunmen.
He testified that Becker borrowed
$1,000 from him with which to pay the
gunmen and that he gave the money
to Rose, who handed it to Lefty
Louie" and "Dago Frank" Insisting
that he had a quarrel with Rosenthal
he admitted that he was willing for
the gambler to be murdered when
Becker demanded 1t. And all through
his testimony was a chill unconcern-
a voluntary admission that he never
paused when asked to arrange a MUIR
der. He merely told Becker that it
was serious matter"
He came to court with a memory for
conversations, for the very details of
foul epithets that was as remarkable
as Roses. His story of Becker's COM
ment to Rose and him after the muir
der agreed almost word for word with
Roses testimony as to Becker's exult-
ing description of the dead man and
Becker's language
