buying up legislatures for years. 1t is
known that he furnished the names OF
several such men and the interests they
represented and promised to stand by
the state attorney in securing their
conviction.
Among other important disclosures Dr.

members of the legislature for years.
He acknowledge that he was one of the
chief lieutenants of this lobbyist, who
had willing workers in both branches of
the general assembly. He admitted that
his income from graft amounted to Sl0,-
600 a year. He gave the names OF those
who contributed to this. He corroborat-
ed in full the stories of graft told by
Smiley, Bailey and Barry, Burns detee-

led to the exposure in 1911.

A Part of Strategy to Win without
Bloodshed-Trying to Force a
Complete Breakdown by
Turkey.

| Bulgaria. Servia and Greece have not
yet followed the example of Montenegro
in declaring war on Turkey. 1t is nov
reported that greater pressure is being
brought to bear by the powers in thu
Balkan capitals, but widespread uncer,
tainty exists as to whether the cabinets
of the three states concerned are really
considering the representations made to
them or whether, as is thought, they
are delaying the negotiations in order
to gain time in which to complete the
mobilization of their armies. On this
account small notice will be taken BY
European offices of the pacific announce
ments made at Sofia and Athens. While
the delay is giving the ambassadors and
foreign ministers more time to make
their influence felt in the right quarters,
it is only rousing the peoples of the
countries directly interested to an even
greater clamor for war. This, too, is
spreading to Austria, where it is argued
the people are not likely TO sit quietly
while war is being waged in the San
iak of Novipazar. Count Leopold Won
Berchthold, the Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister, referred to the matter
when receiving the Hungarian delega-
ton yesterday. He said: Although
Austria is not pursuing policy of con-
quest, yet she has important interests in
the Balkans, which she is prepared to
guard at all hazards From dispatches
from Constantinople. it would appear
that the reports of fighting on the Bull
garian and Servian frontiers are only eX-
aggerated accounts of frontier incidents,
which are constantly occurring. The
king of Greece has returned to Athens
and some definite move can now be ex
peeted on the part of Greece. II is sug

The government charges that, on read.
ing of the loss of life at the Los Angeles

to Boston, decided to destroy certain
evidence relative to various Pacific coast
explosions, and that he sent "clean

Jury Completed in the Becker
Case
WHITMAN OPENS THE CASE
His Arrangement of Accused Holly OBJ.
jected To--First Witness Identifies
Three Gunmen as Actual Stay
ers of Rosenthal.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE trial o
Charles Becker, former police Lieutenant
for the murder of Herman Rosenthal
gambler, started in earnest yesterday
The jury was completed with the selec
ton of the twelfth juror and Distrc
Attorney Whitman made his opening ad
dress. The taking of testimony ther
| began.
Louis X. Rause, Hungarian waiter
was called by the state as an eye-wit
ness of the murder, and he identified in
the court room "Gyp the Blood" Lefty
Louie" and Whitley Lewis" as the ac.
tual slayers.
As to "Dago Frank" the fourth gun.
man indicted for the murder, he was
not sure, but identified Jack Sullivan,
one of Becker's alleged tools, as the
man who bent over Rosenthafs dead
body in Forty third street.
John Mcintyre caused a stir by trying
to break down Rause's testimony, but
he failed.
1t had been supposed that Beeker's
counsel would make no effort to de-
fend the men charged with the actual
staying.
Justice Golf indicated in his ruling
that the state would be allowed wide
scope in introducing evidence bearing
on graft in the police department.
Under District Attorney Whitman's
opening Of the states case, the ac-
cused's air of confidence changed, and
he became obviously i'll at ease.
Objections by counsel for the defense
punctuated the district attorneys adj
dress like rattle of shots. Justice
Golf almost uniformly ruled them down.
though Mcintyre declared that the Ian
guage of the district attorney was sol
unfair and prejudicial that juror should
be withdrawn.
At the end of fifty minutes, when Mr.
Whitman resumed his seat, Mr. McIn
tyre demanded successfully that the jury
be excused on account of the improper
remarks made by the district attorney,
that they be directed to acquit BECAUSE
the defendant was improperly arraigned
before the actual murderers had been
tried and to dismiss the Indictment.

town had an unexpected treat yesterday
when President Taft made brief visit
and delivered a short address from his
automobile.
In the forenoon word reached here by
telephone that the presidential party
would pass through Bradford in about
half an hour. Then there was some
lively hustling. Word of his coming
was passed along the line and made its
way into every business place and into
every home and in an incredibly short

Receding Wave of Roosevelt
Sentiment
WILSON NOT SO STRONG
AS Generally Thought-President Tat
Making Good Gains-Roosevelt Is
Preparing to Attack the
Enemy.

NEW YORK, Oct. ll.-Investigator
seems to show that the Roosevelt wave
which reached its crest in the west q
month ago is now receding. The Wilson
strength is not so great as thought
while that of Taft is gaining each day
LaFollette is doing good work for the
president, it is said, not by praising him
but by vigorous onslaughts on Roose-
welt
Governor Wilson to-day reached
Chicago and faced long program which
he is i'll prepared to meet; he is tired
and hoarse, his voice is almost gone
but he has enjoyed the receptions given
him during his latest tour. This prob
ably will be his last long trip during
the campaign.
Colonel Roosevelt is passing through
Wisconsin on the way to Minnesota and
apparently is preparing for a sharp at
tack on Governor Wilson; he has lail
away his favorite books and is devoting
his entire time to speeches. He has re-
ferred to Wilson's sullen hostility
toward labor" but worse is yet to come,
for the colonel said yesterday: II prob
ably shouldn't make the reference to Mr..
Wilson that | am going TO make if he
hadn't attacked me. / think ] am able
to defend myself
The Republican tariff tralers, Burton
and Meekens, are enjoying the chase Of
Governor Wilson through the west
Senator Burton says the people are
much interested in hearing discussion Of
important subjects which. he says, the
Democratic candidate avoids.
The two active Moose hunters, other
wise known as Taft truth tellers, Har-
Ian and Bede, have again taken the trail
OF the big Bull Moose. They expressed
their thanks for the advertising he has
given them in attacking them, and then,
in Detroit and Saginaw, Mich, replied in

The much-discussed complication over |
the electoral ticket in Pennsylvania has |
