that in the development of the case

These men. friends of Becker. said

HIM, BECKER FEARS

Lieutenant Charles Becker's supreme
fear that he is to be sacrificed by the
men who h9 ve previously stood Tor
him was said last night to be the basis
and underlying reason why the man
who will he his chief counsel has not
vet been named. The accused police Of
fetal is reported to have become sus-
picious of every move made by the men
with whom he was formerly associated
and TO believe that they intend TO JOB
him to save themselves.
John T.. McIntyre's name was sug-
gested as his chief counsel by Mrs.
Recker and the lieutenants brother.
jackson Becker. John w. Hart, who is
still his nominal counsel. is known to
favor the retention Of former District
Attorney Jerome. and for that reason
would go no further yesterday than to
say that the time had not yet come TO
select the chief counsel
Becker believes. according to a man
who has known him for years, that any
ono of the three men most prominently
mentioned as his possible chief defender
on the charge of numbering Herman
RosenthaI would be- eminently quail
fled To handle the case, but he knows
hotter perhaps, than any man the in
siduous powers of the ring or "syS-
tom" and wants To be supremely posi-
five that the man who will be called
u,on tc save his life will not allow any
consideration TO sway his Judgment.
Behind the tangle over Becker's chief
counsel lies Becker's fear that the
"ring" would sooner see him go to the
chair for the Rosenthal murder than
have the responsibility for the general
graft conditions that prompted that
murder laid bare.

The apprenticeship 0ystem in one of the large 1ocomobile Bhopo in Berlin struck 5.me as being something very practical and splendid. The boys are put to work in shop where only apprentices are employed and nnder a competent instructor they do practical work. They have their book claSses, lectures and technical im- directions and then do practical work. They work the same hours and build machinery that is put on the market. The plan has worked out so satisfac- torily that it is being copied all over Germany. This was one of the most advanced apprenticeship systems of education came across.
