The Becker Trial

New York, Oct. 10.-With Justice
Golf fuming over the delay and his
threats of expulsion for the attorneys
for the defense received with sneers
the third day Of the Becker trial
found no more progress than when
the trial was begun at II o'clock yes
terday. There was still one juror
missing, and Chief Counsel Mcintyre,
for Becker, emphaticaly asserted
that he would not pass the needed m
dividual until his last peremptory
challenge was exhausted thus paving
the way for a reversal on appeal
should the verdict be against HIM.
Already Mcintyre has noted 200 eX-
ceptions to the courts ruling, the
most vital of which is against the
action of Golf in having the regular
qualifying questions put by the stem
op.rapher, a radical innovation. But
to make his appeal good, Mcintyre
must have exhausted all or MS per-
emptories. Two jurors were secured
yesterday and they were to take the
places of Nos. 8 and II, excused by
consent. They are Charles Ranch
fuss and Alfred FelIheimer real es-
tate dealer and merchant.
AS soon as the jury was completed
District Attorney Whitmen planned to
omen the case with an address, 5000
words in length.
1t was the intention of the district
Attorney to call as his first witness,
Mrs. Herman Rosenthal, widow oil
the murdered man, and Their Rose and
his three associates who have con-
fessed.

Investigating Express Rates.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Shippers
were given their innings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day in the hearings that are being
held to determine whether express
rates throughout the country should
be reduced and the methods of as
sessing them completely changed.
They claimed that they were being
Systematically robbed by the express
companies and strongly urged THAT
substantial cuts be made. In contra
diction TO the express attorneys
claims that a reduction. at this time
would work havoc with the carriers
revenues, they charged that the eH-
press companies were highly over
capitalized and that the charges were
now being made on basis "as high
as the traffic would stand"
Attorneys for far western shippers
urged that the companies be abolish
ed entirely and their business turned
over to ,Hhe railroads.&c. the only Ell
fective way of reestablishing compe-
tition and reasonable rates in the
express business"
The commission expects to continue
the hearings for several days, after
which announcement will be made OF
what cuts are to made in rates.

NICHOLAS IN CHARGE.
Loosen on Both Sides Believe to be
Heavy-Servia and Bulgaria to Pre-
sent Ultimatums.

Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 1O.-A
furious battle between Montenegrins
and Turks was raging today around
Detchich Mountain and along the Seu-
tari road on the Turkish side of the
frontier.
The Turks, heavily reinforced over
night, were moving down the advanc-
ing Montenegrins from behind strong
entrenchments. Crown Prince Da-
Milo, of Montenegro, in active COM
mands, was on the firing line. King
Nicholas had general charge of oper-
ations from the Montenegrin side OF
the frontier.
The Turkish general in command al
Podgoritza, where fighting began
yesterday committed suicide just be-
fore the Montenegrnis opened fire be-
cause he had received an order from
Constantinople giving more expert
cnced officers precedence over him
Budapest, Oct. 10.-Following their
initial reverse by the Montenegrins
at Planinitza mountain the Turks
have been putting up desperate re-
sistance to their enemy's advance into
Turkish territory according to mes
sages from the front today.
It's defenders were apparently un-
prepared for the attack on their Plan
initza defense. Cannon after cannon
were put out of business and after a
few minutes fighting the Turks fell
back.
During the afternoon and last night
Turkish troops arrived from the south
ward, and were constantly landing
on the shore of Lake Scutari, near the
Montenegrin frontier, and at dawn
today a heavy fire was resumed on
the Montenegrin lines. The latter re-
piled briskly and at last accounts the
engagement was still in progress
along an extended frontier.
Nothing is yet known here OF the
extent of the Turkish or Montenegrln
losses but all reports Indicate that
they have been heavy.
Messages, it was said, were con-
stantly passing between King Nicho-
las of Montenegro, at headquarters
in the rear, and his son, Crown Prince
Danillo, who is in active commend at
the front. His younger brother,
Prince Peter, is ain artillery captain
under him.
London, Oct. 1O.-Bulgaria and Ser
via were expected to present ultl-
matums to Turkey today, according
to advices from Constantinople. De
spite yesterdays rumors, they had
not definitely broken off diplomatic re-
latio,s with the Sultan but it is ex-
pected momentarily they will do so
Servia's demands are regarded as
impossible of acceptance by the Turks
If they are not accepted Servia viii
begin hostilities next Sunday.
Diplomatic representatives here OF
the powers said that though the out
look is most threatening they will moi
give up hope until its three allies
ioin Montenegro in declarations OF
war against Turkey.
