The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1912-10-31

New York, Oct 31-Charles Becker,
the former police lieutenant convicted
of procuring the murder of the gam
bier Hern an Rosenthal, was SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair at
Sing Sing during the week of Dec. 8.
The sentence was pronounced by JUS
tice Goff.
Becker's execution will be staye1,
however, by notice of appeal from
the verdict of the jury, soon to be
filed by his counsel. The appeal may
take year to determine.
He was delivered into the custody
OF Sheriff Harburger, who at once left
with him to take a train to Sing Sing
prison, where the convicted man will
be confined until his fate is deter
mined
Mrs. Becker had short talk with
Becker in the sheriff's quarters at the
criminal courts building before Bec'x.
or was taken before the court. With
Becker were his brothers, John b.
Becker az Jackson Becker, and
Father Curry of st. Johns church
All sought to cheer the condemned
man.
Mrs. Becker and her brothers-in-
law pleaded with the sheriff to delay
Becker's removal to Sing Sing. They
said the prisoner should be permitted
to stay in this city for several davs
at least in order to adjust his bust
ness affairs. The sheriff was obdu-
rate and announced he would take
Becker away at once.
Mcintyre Not in Court.
j. F. Mcintyre, Becker's chief coun-
sci, who suffered a nervous collapse
after the close of the trial, was un-
able to be in court. His condition is
serious, though not critical
When Becker was brought into
court he walked slowly to the bar, and
catching the eye of acquaintances
among the newspaper men, nodded to
them with faint smile.
Charles Becker, have you any legal
cause to show why judgment of death
should not be pronounced against
you" asked the clerk.
Becker opened his mouth as If to
speak, but before he could reply John
w. Hart, his attorney of record, rose
to make the usual motions to set
aside the verdict and to arrest judg-
ment.
Justice Goff denied the motions and
then pronounced the sentence.
Becker heard himself condemned
without any show of emotion 9th r
than the closing of his eyes and the
compression of his lips.
Mrs. Becker was waiting In an ante
room to accompany her husband 20

London, Oct. 31.-A big battle, per
haps the decisive one of the war, is
proceeding somewhere to the east OF
the line from Constantinople to Adrian
ople between the Turkish and Bulgar
Ian armies and heavy fighting also Is
taking place around Adrianople itself
Beyond the faes that clash has
come, however, the general stats OF
the Turkish and Bulgarian armies are
keeping the outside world ignorant az
to how things are going with them
No news has come through from the
scene of action, except the dispatch
from Nazim Pasha, the Turkish com
mander-in-chief, saying:
THE position is favorable to the
Turks"
While admitting that they have to
depend on mere rumors and supposi
tions military critics here are inclined
to believe that the Turkish army is al
last ready to take the offensive and
has a chance of retrieving itself.
The Bulgarian troops have obviously
suffered a check in the vicinity OF
Adrianople, as dispatches from Sofia
report the arrival there of many
wounded from the front and ii is an.
nounced that the Bulgarian plan OF
storming the great fortress has been
abandoned.
Would Relieve AdrianopIe.
The Turkish commanders plan is
not clear, but it is believed he will at
tempt to relieve Adrianople and its
garrison of $4,000 men, while at the
same time holding the Bulgarians on
his left flank.
The rumors that Bulgarian troops
had reached the sea are unconfirmed
Zekki Pasha is gathering the rem
nants of his army at Monastir to meet
the advancing Servians and the allied
Bulgarian column. 1t is thought he
may make another Plevna of Monastir
and prepare himself there for long
siege.
The failure of the former sultan,
Abdul Hamid, to arrive at CONSTANT
nople, whittier he was being removed
from Salon'ki, seems to confirm the
report that the railroad between those
two cities also has been interrupted
From Belgrade come reports that
the Servian victory over the Turks at
Veles was accomplished by the caval
ry, which divided the Turkish force
while the Servian artillery drove them
from their positions.
The Turkish troops defeated by the
Servians and Montenegrins in the dis
trict of Noyipazar are arriving in hun.
dreds In Bosnia, having crossed the
frontier.

A Gala Holiday,
HOW ST. THOMAS CELEBRATED IT'S
FIRST CARNIVAL.

tSL. IAOU}C6 L@06n0e, IIM E6O)
Carnival Day has come and gone, and
though it seemed to pass so quickly away. ii
will long be remembered rs a brilliant event
in the annals of fun and frolic in st. Thomas.
As a spectacle it can compare with any in
the writer's recollection, while as for the
general enthusiasm of the people, it will be
hard to beat. From beginning to end it
was q grand success. Quietly, but none the
less thoroughly, the promoters worked hard,
very hard, to make it such, and how far they
achieved their object everybody we'll knows.
They have "made good" right through, and
deserve much praise for their efforts. The
subscribers, and all who in one way or an
other contributed in bringing about the rea-
hzation of such a happy and satisfactory
result, also deserve thanks and commenda-
tion.
We can recall several events of public
rejoicing and celebrations here, from the
time of the visit of Prince Valdemar, 80
years ago, but in none was the holiday feel
ing more evinced. Nor was ever a day more
filed with a variety of doings than y%ester-
days programme afforded; while as to the
decorations, it may be said without fear of
contradiction that a rre; tier or more tasty
ddornment of the Main Street along it's
whole length has never been seen-the CEN
trail feature of the display being around the
bust of the King in the Emancipation
Garden.
The fete may be said 10 have begun from
Tuesday afternoon when. in presence of a
eopcourse of people (including q number Of
tourists, who also occupied seatsl, the 'pro-
clarnaticn'' of the holiday was made amid
lusty cheers. From that moment the spirit
of sport seemed to spread itself as if with
magical effect, crowds lining tire streets sill

the dawn. And such a day il proVedl
From daylight the town was astir, throngs

This we may add, however, that if ever
there was a red-lettep holiday in st. Thomas.
the 14th Of February 1912. was that day, an
event which, taken all in ALL. again shows.
what can be accomplished, even in our small
home, and at short notice besides, when the.
pleasures of sport demand it, and the right
people are chosen to promote it.

TO KEEP SHOOTING
LODGE ROOM SECRET

ANDERSON. s. c., July 3O.-The
members of Friendship lodge, Woodmen
of the World, in whose hall S. Milton
Taylor was fatally wounded Friday
night by Furman Bagwell, had pledged
themselves to keep the affair a secret.
we were not going to say anything
about it, said a member; but since it
has leaked out we do not deny 1T"
The members of the lodge feared the
incident would hurt the order, and they
went a once to prominent Woodmen
residing in this city, among them for
mer Adjutant General NJ. l.. Bonham,
and asked their opinion about it. In
the meantime the newspaper men OBJ
tanned the facts in the case and it. be-
came public property.
The first case of its kind ever brought
in this state was begun today when
steps were taken to place Bagwell I'M
der arrest.
Although the body has been inferred
and no inquest held, Investigation of
the case was begun today by the coro-
ner and a warrant will be issued later
in the day
The coroner went directly against the
laws of this state when he yielded to
the request of Taylors father not to
hold an inquest here.

JOEL F. ARMISTEAD SAYS
IT IS A "BRAZEN BLUFF"

Joel F. Armistead. general agent of
the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Com
pany. made the following statement to-
day:
This mornings issue of The Consti-
tuition contained an article in which
several statements are made concerning
the insurance investment bill, which is
being heard by the senate ju-
dietary committee This article
also contains statement con-
corning me. In fairness to myself
own statement as to my position in the
matter and not be misled by the state
ment of Mr.. Quinn or Mr. Anyone Else.
concerning the stand I take
Mr.. Quinn charges me with "brazen"
effort to drive out competition. Mr.
Quinn has got the cart before the
horse It's a "brazen" bluff on his part
to influence the lawmakers of this state,
by threatening them with ruin If his
and other Eastern companies with
draw Mr. Quinn, Mr.. Willet nor
anyone else. has told you why their
companies would withdraw except for
the mere fact that their companies can
not do what they desire in this state,
which Is poor excuse. AS to my eff
fort to destroy competition, l will state
that my company has, up to the pres
ent time, written three million of In
surance in this state and l will further
state that neither Mr. Guinn's company
nor Mr.. Willet's company will write
that much this year Furthermore,
there are seven 60 life insurance com
panes chartered in Georgia, to say
nothing of the Southern and Western
companies operating in Georgia, many
of which are now operating under the
Robinson laws Of Texas. Therefore, l
will not have the field by myself II
the Eastern companies do withdraw 1
had much rather see Southern compa-
MES have the business than for our
countless millions to continue to pour
into the Golfers Of the East.
Mr.. Willet states that they invested
in Georgia last year $50 per cent of
their reserve belongings to this state.
Mr.. Willet does not. and will not. state
gia securities as much as rs per cent
Of the reserve on insurance in force
In this state, because he knows that |
know It is not so. President Small of
the Georgia Life Insurance Company
of Macon, is misinformed when he
states that reciprocal law in other
states would affect our investments ac-
cording to this measure. Suppose 9TH
err states required Georgia companies
to invest in their securities 35 per cent
OF the premium collected in that state.
Wouldn't that leave 65 per cent to be
brought over to Georgia and invested
in Georgia securities in addition to in
vesting 100 per cent of the premium
collected in Georgia? Therefore. when
we ask Eastern companies to invest 35
per cent of the amount they collect in
