DECISIVE BATTLE
IS EXPECTED TODAY
Mexican Federals Extend
Lines Around Vera Cruz;
Armies Evenly Matched.
Special Cable 10 The Tribune,

Special Cable 10 The Tribune,
VERA CRUZ, Oct. ia decisive
battle on the Sabbath for the possession
Of this city is tho prospect late to-
night. The federal lines have been
extended steadily all day and this eve
ming and it is believed the federal
troops ure now close enough for an as
sault for tomorrow. The city is awake
tonight expecting the attack at any
moment.
The rebel occupation continues to be
peaceful. There has been little disord-
er in the streets since the killing of
fifteen federal sympathizcrs yestcr-
day.
The federal and rebel armies are
about evenly matched, but tho rebels
have the advantage OF being able to
use their cannon and heavy artillery
whereas the federal field pieces must
be left behind owing to the sand banks
which surround the city.
Three OF the four federal gunboats
IN tho harbor are now commanded by
Felix Diaz but the fourth, with Com
modore Azueta on board, remains loyal.
The guns of the other three vessels
have been trained on tho ship and it
is not allowed to obtain supplies.

Assailed by State.

Robert A. Smith, a contractor, who
testified that Webber and Rose told
him they wanted RosenthaI out of. the
way, was assailed by the state on cross
examination.
Smith had testified on direct exam
nation that Rose told him on June %
that if Jack zelig had not got in trou-
ble, he (Rose) would have Rosentbal
killed a month before.
Webber's S alleged declaration made to
Smith was that "he could cut Rosen-
thai S throat and lie down and sleep all
night with him., "
So far as the introduction of evidence
is concerned. the case is considerably
more than half finished. Mr.. McIu-
tyre said this afternoon he probably
would rest his case Wednesday or

There is, therefore, nothing 10 be
feared from a lack of prosperity due
to the inability Of tho farmer to buy
what he needs or desires, unless. as

Hazardous Undertaking.

The church authorities are fully aware
that extreme danger and difficulty will
attend the return of the more intreuid
eolonists. Transportation by train has
been abandoned between Ell Paso and
the former coloANes so that the party
will be forced to travel by wagon the
entire distance. According to President
Z. W. Penrose, the class headed by
Bishop Bentley is determined on its
course and the church will make no
effort to dissuade the men from the
plan.
BY far the larger number Of colonists
wish to establish themselves along the
border to await the outcome of the
Mexican trouble. To aid these, the
church has appointed its representa-.
tives to negotiate for land in Arizona
on which to quarter the refugees so
that they may care for themselves.
One tract of land near Tucson is being
inspected by agents of the colonists
now, it is said.

PROSPERITY OF THE
FARMERS CERTAIN
Bumper Crops at Lower
Prices Will Yield Greater
Returns Than Former
Years.
BY Internal tional News Service.

BY International News Service
IN EVERLY, Mass, Oct. J9.--HThe
* wave Of extremely high prices
for food throughout the civil
lied world has reached its
height in the United States
and Is subsiding. The American peo-
pie have cause to be thankful that,
because Of our universal prosperity, it
has not been attended here with the
great hardships which has prevailed in
some foreign countries, where high
prices have combined with low wages
to reduce the working pople to point
bordering OIL starvation
This statement was made today By
President Taft, who bases his conclu-
sion on the results Of an inquiry he
caused to be made by the department
OF agriculture, and which shows that,
Is result of the bumper crops and the
great prosperity Of the American far.
mer, there has been a material decrease
in the cost Of food products, although
in most instances the reductions has
not yet reached the consumer aud in
some at least will not do so for somc
months.
The most notably instance OF this
delayed effect is in the case of corn,
which is ultimately marketed in the
form of meat products. The increased
crop will inevitably result in cheaper
meats, but not until the cattle, sheep
and hogs fatteued on this years crop
have had time to reach the consumer.
Wilson's Report.
Secretary Wilson reports that, as
compared with year ago, the aggre-
gate crops will be about 90 per cent
greater and that the supply this year
will average 10 per cent greater than
it has been for number of years.
He shows, too, that already certain
staple articles are showing the effect
in reduced prices and advises the pres
ident that on the nine great crops Of
the country, corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, potatoes, fiaxseed and
hay, the October ! prices indicated a
saving to the consumer Of about per
cent or nearly S500,000,00O.
Furthermore, the increased crops will
mako ND to the farmer for the reduc-
ton in prices. Taking the prices pre-
vailing on October /, 1911. he shows
that while the return to the producers,
even at the high prices prevailing then,
amounted TO $3,s6S, 100000; at the
prices prevailing on October ! of this
wear the return TO the producers Will
amount 10 $4,455, 100000 by reason OF
the increased yield.

Deny Story of Rose.

Other witnesses, police lieutenant
and his wife. testified they had visited
Becker at his homo on the night of
July II, forty eight hours after Rosen-
thai was shot, and that Becker was
there from 10:40 until they left at
HAS. Jack Rose has testified that he
was with Becker elsewhere during
those hours.
Joseph B. Shepard, one~time member
Of Becker's strong-arm squad, testi-
fled he had obtained tho evidence on
which Rosenthal's place was raided. He
was taken to the establishment two
days before tho raid, he said, by d
"steercr' who met him and two other
policemen at the hotel Cadillac. The
policemen wore citizens clothes and
the "steerer' did not know their iden-
tity. They were met at the basement
door by man to whom the "steerer
vouched for their good intentions,
went upstairs and lost $50 playing rou-
lette.

peached by Several Wit
nesses; Case Near End.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Witnesses in
the trial Of Police Lieutenant Becker
testified today to two points which the
defense considered vital to its case.
These were:
First: That the raid On Herman Ros-
enthal's gambling house, On April II,
was made after evidence against it
had been obtained by the police. The
state charges tho raid "fake."
Second, That EBald Jack" Rose and
"Bridgy" Webber, two of the con.
fessed accomplices to Rosenthal's mur-
der who have turned states evidence,
threatened to kill Rosenthal several
weeks before he was murdered.
Another witness, Louis Pitt, brother
Of Becker's so.called press agent,
swore Jack Rose had gonc down ON his
knees in the Tombs and said:

Of my dead mother I say that Becker

BRATES ANNIVERSARY -
CAST FIRST VOTE LAST MONTH

To reach the age of ninety years
health and to be SO active mentally
and physically as to be judged
thirty years younger, Is a cause OF
thankfulness in the opinion of Mrs.
Nj. j. Graham, who celebrated her
ninetieth birthday Thursday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. T. T..
Wilson.
Mrs. Graham came to Greeley two
years ago to live with her daughter.
and cast her first vote this fall. She
is intensely interested in politics
and needed NO advice as to the best
way to vote.
Fancy work and light household
duties are still pleasure to Mrs.
Graham and she keeps up cores
pondence with two dozen Of her re-
latives and old friends.
An informal reception was given
Thursday afternoon in Mrs. Crab
ans honor at the home of her
daughter. A large number called
during the afternoon. A pleasant
surprise was the arrival of beauti-
full birthday cake, decorated with
candles, which was sent from the
east by her children.
Mrs. Graham was born in Morn
ing Sun. Ohio. but later lived In
Iowa. Her husband, who passed
away fifteen years ago. was a prom
inent physician in eastern Iowa for
fifty years.
Mrs. Graham has six children liv-
ing in different states from Cali
fornia to the east Mrs. Wilson is
the only one living in Colorado.

live by his New York physician. At
