The Becker Case.

New York, Oct. 17.-Unable to
complete his case against Police Lieu
tenant Charles Becker last night oW-
ing to the length of time consumed
by Attorney Mcintyre in cross exam
ming witnesses District Attorney
Whitman started to sush matters
when the trial was resumed today. He
had only few witnesses left with
whom he planned to round up the
loosen ends.
Mcintyre sprung distinct surprise
on the prosecution when he let it be
known that he relied on Former Dis
trict Attorney William Travers Je-
rome to break down Jack Roses
story.
Jerome was to be called to swear
that he and Attorney John ". Hart
were present when Becker called Up
Rose at Harry Pollick's house and
that no mention whatever was made
by the policeman of the crime nor did
he tell Rose that 200 policemen were
looking for him.
Becker expected to throw blame
for the murder of Rosenthal directly
on the four chief witnesses against
him, Rose, Val,on, Webber and
Schepps. He insisted that he would
take the stand in his own defense and
MCINTYRE said today that he would
probably be sworn in as the last wit
ness.

BLUEMONT ROAD TARGET.
Excessive Fare and Poor Service, Al
legged in Complaint TO |. {. I.

Ernest N. Trail, employed in the
post office department, has filed a
complaint with the Interstate Com
merce Commission against the newly
promulgated commuters rates on the
Bluemont division OF the Great Fails
and Old Dominion line.
Since taking over the Bluemont Dl-
vision last July and connecting with
the Great Falls line with the former
steam road by a branch, Mr.. Iraii
alleres the new management makes
commuters rates only to Thrifton,
Va. Quarterly tickets good for l'6
trims. he says, are sold from Hern-
don to Thrifton at $17.S0. Between
Thrifton and Washington 3-cent
fare is charged each way, making the
total $3.50 for a quarters commu-
tation between Herndon and Wash
inrton. This rate, Mr.. Trail declares,
in considerably in advance Of the
Southern's rates, which was S2l.03.
In his complaint Mr.. Trail declares
the service on the newly electrified
line is poor and irregular, and that
the newly published rates are eXceS-
sive. unreasonable and unjust, and
asks that the commission investigate
the matter.
