BECKER WILL
GO ON STAND
Is Confident of AcquittaI on the
Claim of "Frame-up"

New York, Oct. 21.-Police Lieuten
ant Charles Becker will take the wit
ness stand in his own defense in his
trial on the charge of instigating the
murder of Gambler Herman Rosen-
thai, according to Chief Counsel Nc
Intyre who stated last night that he
had yielded to his clients desire in
the matter and that Beckers story
would be heard within the next two
or three days.
Becker is confident of acquittal ac-
cording TO those who have visited him
in the Tombs. He expressed the be-
lief, il was said. that the jurors. who
have heard the testimony given in his
defense, have already been convinced
that he is the victim of a conspiracy
on the part of Rose, Webber and VAL
lon, the trio of sslf-confessed accom-
plices to the murder, to save their
own lives.
In support of the claim of the de-
fense that at least Webber and Rose
had a motive for killing Rosenthal,
two witnesses have testified that they
heard them threaten the life of the
gambler month before the murder.
while another swore that he heard
Rose exculpate the police lieutenant
from all connection with the crime

U. OF m. REGISTRATION
REACHES NEW MARK.

Ann Arbor. Mich. oct. 2l.-Secre-
tary Smith has compiled the registra-
tion reports of 2ll departments and
finds there are 46 more students in
the university than were enrolled dur
ing the entire last year. This places
the present registration of the univer-
sity at a new mark. The present to-
tai is 5,62S against a total of 5,5S2 for
last year. There are usually $50 new
students enter at the beginning of the
second semester each year, and this
Will bring the registration Hor the
present year to about 200 increase
over last year. Had not the law de-
partment entered upon q new plan
that makes the law course practically
four years instead of three in length,
IL is likely that this increase would
have been almost doubled. The regis
tration i'm the law department this
year is $50 under what It was last
gear. The literary department made
gain of 120 and almost every de-
partment shows substantial gain.

italy Must Increase Taxation to Cover
Expenditure.

Rome. Oct. 2J.-According to an Of
fetal report just published the war
with Turkey cost Italy exactly S5S1.
600, 900 up to August 3. This sum rep
resents the expenditure sanctioned by
Parliament for the War Office and
Navy department and which, natural !.
ly, has already been exhausted.
AS the daily cost of the war is calcu
lated at s236,400. al further sum of
s14,7l1,206 must be added to the above,
which. consequently, up to the end of
September amounts to s95.311,200. II is
hoped TO pay up the cost of the war
by the surplus from the bulgets from
1911 to 1918. The average yearly sur
plus is about s1S,O00.OO0. so that in
creased taxation will be necessary to
cover the cost of the war.
