New York, n. Y, Aug. 9.-The
Toombs prison keeper seemed to
think today that Police Lieutenant
Becker was on the point of breaking
down and there were reports at the
public executors office that the police
officer under Indictment for the mlr-
der of gambler Herman RosenthaI
| might turn states evidence.
/ District Attorney Whitman confer
red with John F. Mcintyre, counsel
! for the accused Lieutenant, but said
no terms for confession were dis
| cussed.
Mr.. Whitman said: Il have hope
| that Becker, who is shrewd man,
may decide that his best interests
! will require him to tell the whole
truth. If he should do that would
have to think over pretty carefully
what my attitude should be.
While murder is a graver crime
than blackmail it might be that
would decide in the event of confess
sion to ask some clemency for Becker.
One of the greatest accomplishments
for the good of the community would
be to find out who are the big black
mailers in the police department and
tD abolish forever that treacherous
and wicked system"
Mr.. Mcintyre expects to be out of
town until next Wednesday, when he
will return and talk over matters with
his client.
The grand jury is said to have
learned many things to show that
Lieutenant Becker has made money
very rapidly within the last few
months. In one savings bank Becker
was found to have $4,000 on deposit,
while the prosecutor has been told Of
other savings bank accounts which
will be investigated.
Bald Jack" Rose, in his confession,
says that Becker told him that he
cleaned up $4,000 in four months.
Within a few days the grand jury
will hand down about six additional
indictments. The indictments will

, by the New York, New Haven and

lively debate between Senator Poin-
dexter and Senator Lippitt of Rhode
Island, who had clashed in last night
session
Senator Poindexter read a letter
from Louis d. Brandeis, of Boston, de-
claring New England was in the grip
of an "iutolerable railroad monopoly"
Mr.. Brandeis is a professional agi-
tator,' Interrupted Senator Gallinger
of New Hampshire
He is not business man. He is
always in the limelight when the ques.
ton OF railroads, steamships or mon
opolies is under discussion.''
Senator Lippitt declared that senti-
ment OF New England cannot be
founded on misstatement.s"
Senator PoindeXter retorted that
officials of the New Haven railroad
had given testimony at variance with
statements by Senator Lippit and that
1t was question of choosing be-
tween the statements of the officers
OF the New Haven road and the state
ments of the senator from Rhode Isl.

The granting Of free tolls to Am

he said. He opposed the sweeping
restrictions of the Panama bill as it
passed the house against the control
OF steamship lines by railroads.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 9.-The
senates amendment to the Panama
canal bill to admit to United States
/ registry AmeriCan-oWned foreign-built
ships engaged in foreign trade only,
and pass them through the Panama
canal free Of tolls, in all probability
will receive no opposition from the
administration.
! Secretary Nagel is committed to
the idea. In his last annual report he
recommended the passage of a bill
for the admission of foreign built
ocean steamships to American regis
try to engage solely in foreign trade.
This, he believed would be the be-
ginning of an American merchant
marine extending shipping under the
United States flag in trade with South
and Central America and the West
Indies.
The provision, it is said, probably
would not affect transatlantic or
trans-Pacific commerce, as there would
be no incentive for such ships to as
sumo the obligations Of American reg
istry.
The right Of free passage through
the canal, however, is said today. by
officials Of the department of COM
'merce and labor, probably would
bring all the lines engaged in traffic
between the countries of the western
hemisphere, but flying foreign flags,
under the Stars and Stripes
The United Fruit Company and the
New York and Pacific Navigation
Company We're cited as instances.
With a vote on the Panama canal
bill and all amendments to it, set for
> O'Clock this afternoon, the senate
began final consideration of me i!e1s-
ure with renewal of the fight against
railroad-owned ships.
The committee amendment, pro-.
viding that railroad-owned vessel
might pass through the canal provid-
ed fifty per cent Of its cargo was des-
tined to foreign ports, was the chief
subject of discussion.
Senator Burton of Ohio, declared
q prohibition against railroad owned
ships from using the canal would re.
strict the full development of the wa.
terways. The fear that railroads
could drive out all other ships and Ill
timately control rates could be fully
met by adequate laws, he said.
Senator Kenyon asked Senator Bur
ton whether he believed the point had
been reached in American develop
ment where a regulated monopoly
must be recognized in railroad devel-
opment.
THAT is practically it," said Senator
Burton.
81 believe We are near the parting
of the ways said Senator Kenyon,
where we must decide between
competition for railroads, or combna-
tions held under the control of the
government"
Senator Burton said he did not favor
absolutely passage through the free
Panama canal by railroad owned ships.
He favored control by the interstate
commerce commission of ships owned
or controlled by railroads.

BORDWELL SAYS
STEPHENS LIED

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 9.-Judge
Bordwell, who presided at the triaI
of James P. Mcnamara, was called to-
day as witness for the state in the
bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow,
to impeach the testimony of Lincoln
Steffens, the magazine writer
Steffens had testified that he had
Informed Judge Bordwell of the ne
gotiations for the compromise pleas
i'll the Mcnamara case.
Considerable feeling was aroused at
the time of the announcement in that
case by the denunciation of Steffens
by the judge, who asserted that the
writer had nothing to do with bring
ing about the compromise.
Judge Bordwell fatty denied on the
stand that Steffens had ever discuss
ed with him the matter of the pleas
prior to the pleading of the Mcnamara
brothers. With but three witnesses
remaining the prosecution in the
bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow
expected to conclude its case in re-
buttal Monday.
1t was generally expected that the
prosecution would make another at
tempt to introduce the transcript of
alleged discriminating conversations
between Darrow and John R. Harring-
ton.
The trial is now in its thirteenth
week and both sides apparently
eager to conclude. With two DAYS
given the defense for sur-rebuttal,
however it is not likely that the case
can go to the jury before week after
next as the defense has indicated that
it would use three days in final ar
guments.
According to Judge Bordwell, Stef-
fens attempted to discuss the matter
with him upon one occasion but he
had stopped the writer with the ad-
monition that he could not talk about
the trial. He asked me if he could
come back and talk abolt it, and l told
him no." concluded the judge.
On cross examination the jurist-
witness corroborated the testimony
OF Steffens that the latter had shown
him an article published in a. local
newspaper, prior to its publication, to
which he had suggested alterations.

Steel BILL AND COTTON BILL WILL
SUFFER like FATE IN WHITE HOUSE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 9.-For the
second time within year President
Taft today vetoed bill to revise the
wool tariff Schedule K" of the
Payne-Aldrich law. The president re-
turned to congress the bill evolved
as compromise between the house
and senate, holding that its low rates
would bring disaster to home indus
try. He appealed to congress, howev.
er, not to adjourn until it had enact
ed measure to substantially reduce
unnecessary existing duties without
destroying protection for the wool in
dustry in the United States"
The presidents disapproval OF the
wool bill is to be followed with SINH
lar vetoes of the steel bill and the cot
ton bill. The sugar bill was likely to
be vetoed, as is the excise tax bill,
the latter probably on the ground that
the president believes it unconstitu-
tional.
81 stand by my pledges to maintain
a degree Of protection to offset the
difference in cost of production here
and abroad and will heartily approve
Of any bill reducing duties to this
level wrote Mr.. Taft. While the
present bill and the one disapproved
last year were identical in terms, the
presidents reasons differed. He ve-
toed the former because it had been
framed before the tar..cfe boards re-
port-the latter because he said it
had been framed with disregard for
the boards findings.
Most OF the rates in the submit
ted blll,' wrote the president, ARE
so low in themselves that if enacted
into law, the inevitable result would
be irretgievable injury to the wool
growing industry, the enforced idle
ness of much of our wool combing
and spinning machinery, and of thou
sands of looms and the consequent
throwing out Of employment of thou
sands of workmen."
The bill sent to the White House
imposed an ad valorem duty of 30 per
cent on raw wool and on clothes OF 40
per cent. Both rates Mr. Taft held,
were insufficient to protect the wool
grower and the manufacturer.
1t was predicted today that the wool
bill might be passed by the house over
Mr.. Taft's veto, but there was some
doubt as to its fate in the senate.
Republican leaders We're inclined to
believe that it would fail of passage
