Mysterious Cave DWelIcrs.

The sentiment that accompanies the
common desire for the preservation of
historical relics Of the American In
dams, who are fast passing away or
being merged into the civilization CT a
new century, is now being manifested
in reference to the preservation of the
home Of the cliff-6welling Indians,
whose history is as mysterious and IN
recorded as that Of the lost tribes Of
Israel. Various theories have been
propounded regarding the cliff dwell
ers. Legends have 1t that they are the
descendants Of Montezuma The popu-
lar theory is that the Indians began by
living in caves, the homes. that nature
had provided, and then, with the
natural ingenuity of man, proceeded to
excavate caves high up in the side of
the cliffs, where they might be safe
guarded from attacks and where their
supremacy would go unchallenged.
Americans know very little CT the his
tory of the cliff jewellers or OF the
place where they formerly lived. If
the Indians know, they do not tell

LIEUT.. BECKER IN
NOT GUILTY PLEA
Police Official Is Not Present in
Court.
DEATH THREATS ARE SENT
Gangsters Get Notes to Two ALLEGED
Slayers OF Rosenthal, Advising
Them to Keep Their
Mouths Closed.

New York, Aug. Police Lieuten-
ant Chas. Becker on Monday was ar
raigned for amended pleading before
Judge Grain in part one general ses-
sions. On application of the district at
torney, however, the hearing was
transferred to the court of Judge Null
queen, where the proceedings were
first begun. John w. Hart, coun-
sci for the deposed police official,
withdrew Becker's first plea of mot
guilty" and entered a motion for dis
missal Of the charge on technical
grounds. This motion was overruled.
Judge Mulqueen decided that the
proper date for the bearing, accord
ing to the papers in the case, is Au-
gust z and set the hearing on the
motions over to that date, whereupon
the prisoner was led back to his cell,
still under indictment, but without
any plea before the court.
Belief that the desperate East side
gangsters and gun fighters who hang
around the criminal court building
will attempt to silence the lips of the
"squealers'' in the Rosenthal murder
mystery by killing them was intensi-
fed by two death notes.
One of these notes was received by
Lieutenant Becker 1t read: IF you
do not want to follow Kosenthal, keep
your mouth shut" The other was
sent to "Bridgy" Weber. also a
prisoner in the West side Jail. 1t read:
Take our advice and keep your
mouth shut"
Jack" Rose and Assistant District
Attorney Frank Moss are also on the
death list.
How these letters reached the pris-
oner is a mystery, but they so terri
fed Rose and Weber that an ad-
iournment of Roses arraignment be-
fore Coroner Feinberg was secured
until August 10. Becker paid little
attention to the note. Rose is in
condition of complete collapse, and
his brother, Morris Rose, declares the
gambler will die of fear unless some
thing is done for him.
The board of aldermen provided, in
special session, for the appointment
of special committee of nine of it's
members to investigate the police de-
partment. An appropriation of $685.,
900 was made to pay the expenses Of
the investigation. Corporation Coun-
sci Watson informed the aldermen
that he would insist on heading the
legal force of the investigators, and
that the probe would be thorough.

THE grewsome old time CONN has
now been all but supplanteu IN use -
the modern burial casket, which IN ue'

like in appearance as it is possipie
to make it, and which is also nlaue ~
very great variety as to the materiais

1T is not uncommon now for per
sons In health to indicate the sort OF

in our mortuary customs that We get
the occasional cheerful note OF wnlch
l spoke.
Some years ago there came to US
to order a casket members OF FANNY

mortally i'll; that he must die appear
ed beyond q doubt; and 1t was deslr-
able to make preparations for TINS
event In advance because the casket
required was of unusual size, and IT
was also desired that 1t should be elab-
crate in construction and finish. we
had the casket ready in time, but
when the casket was ready the man
began to improve in condition and he
continued to improve; and in the
course of time he recovered his health
and strength completely.
Then there was the family with
that casket on hand, of which he had
no knowledge whatever. and they
came to us to dispose OF It, which OF
course we readily agreed to do. 1t was
a costly casket, though that was no
impeachment to its sale, for we make
and sell many beautiful and costly
caskets; but it's unusual size was
against it, and it was some time be-
fore We finally disposed of It, which
we did at considerably below its first
cost. But this was loss which the
OIISIual puTCHdS6TS were very Sldu LO

eve once had a customer who had
lost his wife and who came to us to
bury her, which we did. After the
funeral he came back to us. He had
selected the casket In which his wife
was buried and now he bought one
just like it for himself. He was a
man in health, with no prospect of
death, so far as that was concerned,
but he was greatly grieved and cast
down over the death OF his wife, and
when he should die he wanted to be
buried in a casket just like that in
which we had buried her So he
bought this casket and we held it for
him
Something more than year after
he met another woman with whom he
fell In love and whom he married; and
after that we got a letter from him,
saying:
"'Sell my casket. I've no use for
it now"
