BRIDGE" HEDGES AGAIN
Denies to Whitman He Had Said
There Was No Death Plot.
ROSE BITTER AT WEBER
Gambler Declares Becker Had
Reached Point Where He Was
Ready to Do Murder.

Bridgie' Weber "hedged' again yes
terday on the interview he gave TO re-
porters when he landed here Tuesday
after his brief trip to Havana. He wrote
to District Attorney Whitman that the
statements which IT is stated that made
are absolutely false"
Whatever II was that was untrue, II
can be definitely asserted that "Bridgie"
made the statements attributed to him In
The Tribune yesterday and that however
nervous he may have been he was not
at all unwilling TO talk. Mrs. Weber some
times got ahead of him in answering
questions, but "Brldgie" was not rcluc-
tant
Weber's story on his return to New
York, as printed in The Tribune yester-
day. did not differ materially from his
testimony on the stand in the Becker
trial. His letter to District Attorney
Whitman is as follows:
wish to repeat what l said to YOU last
night over the telephone that any state
ments made In the evening papers OF laSt
night and in the morning papers Oh tlls
morning 10 the effect that in an interview
stated that Two OF the gunmeh sot
uIulIh on lllt IIkHl VI Nlit
that there was no arrangement tor thc
killing Of Rosenthal are absolutely ldise,
that all the other statements Whlch ~ Ia
stated that | made are absolutely lalse.
The fact is that these men, Wncn tHe!
landed on the boat, began to ask me
questions. ! told them that | MAS Wiling
TO .alk to them about anything eNCePl
the Rosenthal case or the Becker Cdsc VI
the case OF the four gunmen; that upon
that subject had nothing to say. Ihese
men kept on asking me questions. MY
wife begged them TO leave Inc alone; /
was i'm a very nervous condition. but ihey
kept on asking. ! simply looked at these
men and said nothing.
Any time YOU wish me 10 make an AZ
fidavit to this effect / shall be glad 10
call at your Office. and so VIII Mrs.
Weber who will corroborate the state
ments that | make, because they are abb
solutcly true. LOUIS WEBER
have read the above. and 1t is true;
PEARL WEBER.
Weber's vacillating and uneasy attitude
called forth more censure from Bald
Jack" Rose yesterday.
Bridge is running to form al last
said Rose. whose dislike of Weber was
evident when they were locked up TO-
gether in the West Side prison. He mas

ors in the final stretch. His game ~

He wants to say to the crowd: j am no

but the District Attorney shut me up.
He is afraid OF the gunmen. while am
not, and / don't care who knows IT.
Rose said that while he had grown TO
like Becker after fashion and had col
lected graft money for him ne was not
willing TO help in putting Rosenthal out
Of the way. and did what he could 10
discourage Becker.
II was stalllng for time and kept stall
ing for two months" said Rose. and by
that time Becker was willing TO do the
Job himself
IT was then, Rose said. that Becker
turned to Weber and found In him tool
ready to his hand.

Peaches is the subject of Sanford
Fl Fulton Mr. Fulton has very large

at one time identified with the Pomolog

The Peril of Overstudy.

The suicide of a promising young col
lege student, and the recent breakdown
Of a Young girl who had come from a
distance to Boston to acquire higher
education are instances which serve to
call attention to the peril that now lies
in over study. To be siudious is adj
mrable. but to devote ones energies to
the acquiring of book knowledge with
such application that the mind collapses
and judgment is dethroned is pitiful.
There is no middle ground between
indifference and extreme zeal that every
pupil should endeavor to attain. 1t is
better to be near the foot OF the class and
to have health and strength and fair
working knowledge than to- be among
the: leaders and a nervous wreck.
Teachers should give kindly advice to
the students who are inclined to over
study and parents should be watchful
and prevent injurious devotion to studies.
A thoughtful word in time may save
many girl from breaking down.
