AN VERGE OF COLLAPSE, IS iN- FORMATION GIVEN OUT FROM
 THE TOMBS.
BIG SHAKE.UP IS PREDICTED
r.nuanv Hall Politician Asserts Waldo Will Lose Job in Three Weeks-Additona lndict-
 ments Expected.

New York, Aug. 10-A shake-up of tbe New York police force, beginning at the top and extending all the way down the line, is expected as a result of graft exposures following the as sassination of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, according to insistent re. ports in political circles and about po- lice headuuarters. A prominent Tam many Hall politician is quoted as say ing that Police Commissioner Waldos days are numbered and New York would have a new commissioner with in three weeks"
 Chief interest in the police graft scandal centered upon the condition of Lieut. Charles A Becker, the po- lice official under indictment for Ros- enthals murder.
 Ready to Confess.
 According to some reports, Becker is on the verge of collapse in the Tombs and is ready to make a com plete confession of the connection be- tween the police system" and the underworld.
 On the other hand. these reports are offset by others saying Becker's nerve remains unshaken and that he is pre- pairing Co fight to the last ditch. Those who have visited Becker in his cell and would talk for publication after ward said that the indicted official Is standing firm and has no intention of making any statement in the nature of confession.

WITNESS FACES HIS ACCUSER
Chief Counsel for Labor Lawyer Rush es Through Case to Reach
 Arguments.

Los Angeles, Aug. 10.-When the Darrow trial was resumed the defense confronted F. V. Owen, who has testi- fled that the reputation of c. O. Flaw ley, a Darrow witness, for truth and honesty, was very bad, with Hawley himself, who had been rushed from San Francisco. Hawley is the witness who swore that on the morning of No vember 2S he had a telephone conver- sation with Darrow and requested him to meet him at Socialist headquarters While on the way to keep the engage ment Darrow came upon the scene of Bert Franklin's arrest Chief counsel for the defense, Earl Rogers, in his cross-examination of Owen, claimed that owen had been charged with grating by Hawley.
 The state continues presenting evi- dence of impeaching character. Rog- CTS cross-examination of the states witnesses is swift, and it is evident that the chief counsel for Darrow wishes to hurry proceedings in order to get to the argument stage of the case.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI
 NOW UNCERTAIN.
MAJOR HAS TAKEN THE LEAD
CoWherd Still Claims a Majority of 4,0o0, While Reports From the Farming Districts lnd-
 cate His Defeat.

Jefferson City, Mo, Aug. 10-The official count of the vote cast in Tues days primary election probably will be necessary to determine whether Attorney-General Elliott w. Major of Pike county or former Congressman William S Cowherd of Kansas City has won the Democratic nomination for governor.
 On the face of the late unofficial returns from the country districts, Major is now leading Cowherd by nearly 200 votes. Speaking for Ma jor Friday, Assistant Attorney-General John M. Atkinson said that practically complete figures from every city and county in the state, as received by Major, insured his nomination by majority of several thousand votes The Cowherd caL4paign managers claim his nomination by 4,000 major ity.
 The county canvassing boards in all counties throughout the state met Fri day to begin the work of casting up the returns. As soon as the official returns are canvassed and approved by these boards they will be mailed to Secretary of State Roach at Jef- ferson City, who will foot up the to- tals and announce the official result
 Roach states that it probably would be a week before the official returns were received from all coun. ;,, lA fJ he could not open any of the returns until all were received. The unofficial figures he had received, Roach said, indicated the nomination of Major
 The three principal cities of the state, St. Louis, Kansas City, includ- ing Jackson county, and St. Joseph, gave Cowherd a majority of 30,722 over Major The unofficial returns show that Cowherd has carried 22 oth- CT counties, but that outside of Lafay- cite Platte and Clay his majorties were small Practically all of the big Democratic counties throughout the state piled up big major!ies for Ma for, enabling him to cut down Cow herds city lead to such an extent as to throw doubt upon the final result.
 The increasing gains for Major are attributed by his campaign managers to returns from farming districts throughout the state. The early esu- mates, his managers say, were based upon returns from county seat towns and adjoining precincts in which Cow herd got his heaviest vote,
 The country districts removed from the county seat centers practically all gave heavy majorties for Major, thus increasing his lead in nearly all the 90 counties he carried, his managers say

WOOL BILL VETOED BY TAFT
President, in Message, Urges Congress to Reconsider Measure and
 Pass 1t Revised.

Washington, Aug. 10-President Taft, in a veto message to Congress, upon the 29 per cent wool bill. indi- cated that no reduction lower than B per cent will meet his approval
 The president urges strongly on Congress the necessity of passing a bill which will offset the difference between the cost of the production of raw wool here and abroad He says:
 "I strongly desire to reduce duties providing that the protection system be maintained and the industries now established be not destroyed.
 "I appeal to Congress to reconsider this measure which I now return without my approval and adopt a substitute therefor, making substan- tial reductions without destroying any established industry, which l will promptly approve.
 Tn view of the platform on which I was elected and in view of my prom ise to maintain a protective policy, no course is open to me but to withhold my approval from this bill. l am very much disappointed that such a bill should a second time be presented to me"
 He recommends that the revision be made from the data furnished by the tariff board and urges that Congress do not adjourn until such action is taken
