NO MYSTERY IN THE
KILLING OF BIG
JACK SEL|G
Police Claim Murder Was Ac
of Personal Revenge.
WHITMAN is NOT so SURE
District Attorney Believes that Shoot
ing of important Witness Was
More than Coincidence.

New York, Oct. deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty declared
last night that he was satisfied the
motive for the murder of big jack
Zelig by "Red Phil' Davidson Satur-
day night was not to seal Zelig's lips
against Becker After questioning
Davidson for several hours yesterday
and investigating events leading up
to the killing of Zelig, the deputy com
missioner said he was inclined to cred
it Davidson's story that he killed Ze-
lig in revenge because the latter had
robbed him OF money.
Though the tragedy occurred al
most on the eve of the Becker trial
and Zelig had been subpoenaed as a
witness, the authorities are inclined
to the opinion that the 'gunman's"
death with relation to the Rosethal
murder and notice graft was merely
a coincidence. Lefty Louie" "Gyp
the Blood and other gunner who
are awaiting trial for the murder Of
Rosenthal ridiculed Davidson's story
when seen in their cells last night
and insisted that Zelig's taking off
was pidniSu anu inc piOb tActu1cu w
prevent his appearance at Becker's
trial.
1t was reported that Bald Jack"
Rose who will be a state witness
against Becker, had warned District
Attorney Whitman that Zelig never
would live to testify against the pol
ice. District Attorney Whitman last
night, though admitting that no proof
had yet been found to indicate that
Zeligs death was the result of con-
spiracy, was inclined to regard the
murder as more than a coincidence. -
The prosecutor insisted that he had
subpoeaned Zelig as witness in the
Becker trial and said he had expected
his testimony to have an important
bearing on the case.
He added. however. that he had
other witnesses who knew the facts
he had planned to reveal through Ze-
lig. The prosecutor further stated
that Zelig's death would mean that
Detectives White and Steinert would
not be brought TO trial on perjury
charges. These detectives were al
legged to have framed" Zelig for car
rying a revolver and later, according
to statements before the grand jury,
former Lieut. Becker dropped the case
against Zelig after Zelig had aided In
rounding up the gang who shot Ros.

TO IMPROVE THE CLIMATE.
Russis's Daring Scheme to Divert the
Flow Of Siberian Rivers.

Flow OF siberian MYERS.
A daring scheme is proposed In Rus
STA for altering the flow of waters on
so vast scale that even meteorolog
ical and climatic conditions may be
improved. Agricultural interests In the
eastern and southern provinces suffer
severely from the frequent droughts
which are ascrlbed partly to extensive
deforestation and partly to the pro
gressive drying up Of western Asia.
The idea has been conceived Of di.
verting the flow Of certain Siberian
rivers from the north to the south so
that their waters would eventually
find their way into those great inland
seas. the Ural and the Caspian. As
the surface OF these would be thereby
doubled or even quadrupled. there
would be a great increase in the at
mospheric moisture and consequent
precipitation Of the surrounding coun-
try, as well as larger available sup
plies for irrigation where desirable.
This diversion Of fiow Is to be ac-
complished by building dams across
the Obi and Tobol rivers at points
where their banks are exceptionally
high. When the water would reach
the top Of the hanks Il would stand at
a far higher level than the Caspian.
and considerably above the UraL IL
would then only be necessary to cut
a short canal through the divide which
separates the northern flowing from
the southern flowing rivers OF west
ern Asia TO direct the fructifying wa
tiers OF these mighty streams toward
the two great lakes instead Of allow
ing them 10 be lost In the Arctic ocean.

after. He was placed in Jail and a
crowd surrounded the building. When
the situation was most tense. the
sheriff slipped the prisoner out a rear

around his neck, dropped him over

seized ali the Austrian mail bags found
there and Furthermore removed all the
goods on board the Austrian-Lloyd
magazine steamer anchored at that
port.
Reports of cruelties perpetrated by
the Servian troops on Albanians are
officially denied in a government dis
patch from Belgrade.
The nations of the Balkan confed-
eracy satisfied with victory, signified
their Willingness to treat for terms Of
peace at the request of the vanquished
Turkish empire.
The luster of their success has been
only slightly dimmed by their tempor-
airy failure TO overcome the rallied
Turkish army at the gates of Constan-
tinople and enter the Ottoman capital.
The stubborn defense encountered by
the Bulgarians at the line of fortifica-
tions at Tchatalja, and the realization
that enormous slaughter would be
necessary to pierce them at the points
of the bayonet, with every prospect
that their ranks would be decimated
by cholera before they had attained
success, doubtless proved the deciding
factors in inducing the conquerers to
listen to the urgings of the great pow
ers and refrain from pressing home
their victory
simultaneously with a dispatch to
the grand vizier of their agreement 10
TO appoint piece plenipotentiaries, the
allied Balkan nations notified the
European powers of the step they had
taken and thanked them for their Of
fer of mediation. They added that
mediation was not longer necessary as
the porte had addressed itself directIv
TO the Balkan states, who would now
treat with Turkey without outside in
tervention.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The war in the
east seems TO have shifted for the
time from one of arms to one of di-
plomacy and it may be that the fight
ing is near an end. Plenipotentiaries
Of the belligerent powers will meet to-
day in the village of Hadamaheu. n
few miles outside the capital for a
preliminary discussion of the terms of
the proposed armistice. Meanwhile the
Turkish, Bulgarian and Servian Of
hcers have ordered cessation of hostili
ties.
The defenses had fallen into the
hands of the Bulgarians, who had
brought up guns and were shelling the
main line works.

BUILDING COLLAPsEs

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS /
PORTLAND, Nov. 21.-Eight floors
of the Sixth street side of the Mar
guam building in the business section
collapsed at noon. The detonation
was heard for blocks. The building
contained the Orpheum Theater and
many offices. The collapse of the re-
mainder of the building is expecte ed
and the streets are roped off and
neighboring buildings are being
cleared. No one was hurt.
The building cracked about daylight
and the authorities ordered the streets
roped off and the building vacated.
This probably saved many lives when
the collapse came at noon. Hundreds
were crowding about the ruins and
the blockaded streets throughout the
afternoon.
