eral Hugh NJ. Dorsey, States prose-
eutor of Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, who

self heard q shot fired in the Grace
home between 5 and 6 o'clock on the
morning of March ) last.
According TO Mrs. Grace's testi-
mony, Grace was not shot until IL
a.. m. on that day. On that plea her

But SHALL FIGHT
CASE, SAYS BECKER
Denies Report He
Will Turn States
Evidence.


NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Lieutenant
Charles Becker. who is charged with
the murder Of Herman RosenthaI, the
gambler, today denied the report that
he was ready TO vonfess.
II would like y to be understood
once and for all said Becker. that
L have no confession To make. for the
s. mple reason that i have nothing
to confess. That will be proven very
clearly when I~haye my day in court.
i never. felt ,better-Iin- my life and
intend to fight to the end to prove
my. innocence. -
The report which Becker says il
untrue is to the effect that Becker
is near collapse and hat he might
turn States evidence.
Attorneys Hold Conference.
District Attorney Whitman con-
ferred with John F. Mcintyre, coua-
sci for the accused lieutenant, but
said that no terms for a confession
were discussed. Mr.: Whitman said;
"I have hope that Becker, who Is
a shrewd man. mayNdecide that his
best interests will be to tell the whole
truth II he should do that 1 would
have to think over pretty carefully
what my attitude should be.
While murder is a graver crime
than blackmail, 1t might be that l
would decide. in the event of a con-
~fession, to ask some clemency for
Becker. One of the greatest accom-
p,ishments for the good of the COM
munity would be to find out who are
the big blackmailers in the police de-
partmept and to abolish forever that
treacherous and wicked system.
MIR. Mcintyre expects to be out OF
town until mex Wednesday, when he
said he would return and. talk over
matters with his client,

SWEEPERS' FIGHT.
Board of Works at Last Con-
sents to Nickel-an-Hour
Raise.
Continued from First Page,


Of" spoke up Commissioner Kraemer,
demanding the vote on the motion.
Messrs. Denman, Mungle and O'Con.
nell, constituting the Republican
majority. responded in the negative
and Commissioner Patrick Ryan
voted in favor of the retrenchment
with DR.. Kraemer. Commissioner
Ryan supported DIR. Kraemer in his
every contention during the meeting.
In the same way motions to drop
FIVE inspectors in the lighting and
four in the garbage department were
defeated.
Mr.. O'Connell, chairman of the
finance committee. which is a COM

may accuse me of playing politics."
began Mr.. o'Connell, my demand, as
you gentlemen know, is the same as
heretofore. I have always stood for
the increase. We will get the money
for the purpose if we have to guzzle
the finance committee of the Com
mon Council"
Mr.. Mungle referred to the 81, 800
at hand as being insufficient for the
purpose and said 1t was doubtful II
any more could be had. The engi-
neers figured that s12.ss0 would be
necessary.
Mr.. Denman said enough was
wanted until next year., when under
a law passed this year 1t would
make the appropriation mandatory,
ut will be IL o amend the law"
reminded City Counsel James r.
Nugent.
Mr.. Nugent then gave an opinion,
bearing out the contention of The
Star, made during the street cleaners
fight, that the statute held out no
hope for the sweepers, since 1t called
for an appropriation estimate to be
made before April 10 based on the
ratables for that year. As the
ratables are not ready until the first
Tuesday in August the law could not
be lived up to and the law Is void.
Mr.. SSherrerd then said that money
might be secured by transfer from
other accounts to the streets and
highways item before the end of the
year.
1.-THE reorganization will give
money enough to permit q transfer.
said DR.. Kraemer.
Mr.. Mungle included the drivers
helpers in the motion to give a raise
of 5 cents an hour for a working day
of seven hours.
1t was passed, and Colino. saying
that he never called his bosses James
and never would now, turned his
back on the hornets nest he stirred
and went out.

Captain vogel's Statement Brief.
When seen by a reporter today
Captain Vogel. of the Fourth pre-
cinct, was asked why Hetz was not
arrested on the night of the trouble
because he ran into the house, =
was the reply.
couldn't they have arrested him
there?"
"If you ever come into my house
I'd knock your block off,"
The captain seemed to think this q
satisfactory explanation
did they go into the house for
him?"
yes, they did," Captain vogel an
swered.
WHY"
You'll have to ask them. / don't
know"
"Why was Hetz summoned here?"
why is anyone summoned"
ITO have the court investigate and
find out if there was sufficient ground
to take a complaint"
"Why did the case come up in your
private office instead of the court
room?'
That's the judges business. If it
pleases him to bring it up in my
office or anywhere else. that is his
affair. Hetz's counsel was present"
When Judge Herr was asked If he
had made an arrangement by which
the charge against Hetz was to be
dismissed on condition that the as
sault was overlooked, he said:
81 didn't do anything of the kind.
I merely heard both sides OF the
and refused to take a CON
plant"
According to Mrs. Hertz, Fire Com
missioner Matthias Stratton. presi-
dent of Alling & Company, went to
the Fourth precinct after the fight to
see If a charge had been made
against Hetz, who has bee an m
ployee of the jewelry firm for sixteen
years. Captain Vogel said he had
not seen Mr.. Stratton.
Charles c. Daubel appeared as
counsel at the hearing before
the Board of Police Commissioners
yesterday afternoon.
The other peculiar case that came
before the board was hat of Patrol
Henry d. Schwartz, of the Sec
.nd precinct. He was suspended for
a week without pay and fined fifteen
days pay for intoxication.
He told the commissioners he had
no idea how he came to be lying in
the gutter at Beaumont place and
Montclair avenue while OF duty on
July %. His explanation was not
considered satisfactory.

VOTE TODAY ON
CANAL MEASURE
Fight Against Railroads. Owned
Ships Is Renewed in
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Sen
ate's amendment to the Panama
Canal bill to admit to United States
register 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 recommended this
in his last annual report, believing
the plan would mark the beginning
of an American merchant marine,
extending shipping under the United
States flag in trade with South and
Centres 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 the obligations of Ameri-
can registry. The right of free pas
sage through the canal. however, it
is said today by officials of the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
would probably bring all the lines en-
gagged in traffic between the countries
of the western hemisphere, but flying
foreign flags, under the Stars and
Stripes.
Vote Expected Today.
With a vote on the Panama canal
bill and all amendments to it set for
late today. the Senate began final
consideration of that measure, with a
renewal of the fight against railroad
owned ships.
The committee amendment provid-
ing that a railroad-owned vessel
might pas through the canal provided
so per cent. of its cargo was destined
to foreign ports, was the chief sub
ject of discussion.
Control of New England steamship
lines by the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railroad, provoked an
other lively debate between Senate
P~oindexter and Senator Lippett. of
Rhode Island.
Senator Poindexter read q letter
from Louis d. Brandeis. of Boston,
declaring New England was in the
grip of IN "intolerable railroad mo-
nopoly."
Mr.. Brandeis is a professional agi-
tator;" interrupted Senator Gallinger,
of New Hampshire. "He is not a
business men,"
Burton Favors Control.
Senator Burton, of Ohio, declared
prohibition against the railroad
owned ships would restrict the full
development of the waterway.
Senator Kenyon asked Senator Bur-
ton whether he believed the point
should be reached in American de-
velopment where a regulated monop-
oily must be recognized in railroad
development.
That is practically it," said SEN
ator Burton.
~ believe we are near the part
ing the ways said Senator Ken
yon, where we must decide between
fcompetition for railroads or combina-
tions held under the control of the
government"
Senator Burton said he did not
favor absolutely free use of the PAN
anna canal by railroad-owned sh FPS.
He favored control by the Interstate
Commerce Commission of ships own
cd or controlled by railroads.

MEXICAN BANDITS
CROSS INTO TEXAS
American Troops Are Rushed
to Scene TO Arrest
Raiders.

Ell PASO. Tex. Aug. 9.-Mexican
bandits crossed the International
boundary and came into Texas TO-DAY.
They began raiding near Sierra
Blanca, according to a telegram
Sheriff Edwards received here this
forenoon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The sud
den appearance at Bisbee, Arizona,
last night of about 200 Mexican
rebels has sent a detachment of
American troops along the line from
the eastward to that point. If the
rebels have not retreated across the
line when the troops arrive they will
probably be arrested and informed.
The news came to the State De-
partment from the American consul
at Negales today and is regarded as
confirmation of the report that the
rebel forces are rapidly disintegrat-
ing.

LEGISLATURE MAY
AMEND TAX LAWS|
Appeal viii Probably Be Made
by Religious Or
CARNATIONS.

AS a result Of the assessing of some
of the religious, charitabl e and edu-
cational institutions II is likely the
next session of the Legislature will
be asked to abolish the features of
the existing tax laws which are now
looked upon as discriminatory.
The local tax board is in favor of
a law that would equalize one way
or the other and frankly say that
the levy on the Sacred Heart Cathe-
dral, the Y. NJ. G. A. the st. Peters
and st. Mary's Orphanages and like
institutions was made reluctantly.
Interviews with those interested in
the various properties taxed this year
for the first time shows that it is the
consensus of opinion hat the law is
not broad enough when 1t compels
the authorities to assess a church In
course of construction such as the
the cathedral. because 1t Is not actu-
ally in use for worship when such
usages under the circumstances
would be impossible.
In the case of the Y. M. C. A. and
the ~orphanages it is argued that the
revenue from rooms, etc., in the for
mer class of buildings and the farm
lands of the ~orphanages is absolute
ly necessary for the maintenance of
the charitable features and free use
and enjoyment of the properties as
the law states.
The local board feels certain that
in carrying put the directions of the
county board it justly interpreted the
lay laid down. They consulted with
City Counsel James R Nugent over
every step because they foresaw
trouble ahead.
A political twist has been given the
action of the board by some. They
say the properties referred were as
sessed so that the valuations would
be increased and the tax rate kept
Commissioner John B. Oelkers in
an interview corroborated the state
ments of President John L. Carroll,
of the local tax board. in every es-
sential. He said that the local body
had been ordered by the. county body
strictly enforce the tax law, and
he in turn put 1t up to the State Tax
Board, which had celled the attention
of the county commissioners to re-
decisions in religious and charit-
able institution taxation.
