PROBING
BECKER'S
ACCOUNTS

New York, Aug 14.-Pawerful bank
ing interests, acting through the New
York clearing house committee. came
to the aid Of District Attorney Whit
man in his efforts to lay bare the al.
legged corrupt alliance between the po-
lice and the gambling fraternity
founded on graft and blackmail A var.
tual command was given by the COM
mittee to all banks in the clearing
house to furnish the district attorney
with a record Of deposits they may
have received from any Of the aigh
police officials whom the district at
torney suspects Of having been collec-
tors of blackmail from the disorderly
elements Of the city.
AS result, records showing that
within the last eight months Police
Lieut. Charles Becker, charged with
the murder Of Herman Rosenthal and
accused Of gambling CRAFTS, has made
deposits in four banks OF s5S,S45 in
his own name or that Of his wife, were
placed in the hands of the public pros
ecutor.
These deposits, the records show
were first made in November, 1911,
shortly after Becker became head OF
the strong arm squad Of gambling
raiders, and continued all during the
time that Jack Rose says he was col
lecting graft for Becker and until
after his arrest.
The district attorney has been prom
ised records Of Beckers deposits in
four other banks which did not have
time to go over their accounts, and
he had also discovered that Becker
has an unknown amount Of stocks
bonds and other securities locked up
In separate safety deposit vaults. That
the total value Of the police lieuten
ants holdings win be found to approx
innate 100000, would be no surprise
to the district attorney.
The aid Of the clearing house com
mittee was proffered to Mr.. Whitman
after it had become known that his
representatives had some difficulty in
tracing Beckers bank accounts.

Insurance Rates High.
While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost Of life insurance

every policy holder of $4,000 ordi-

$40 year on his premiums If tubercu-

At the age Of twenty, with the pres
