ON THE CHARGE OF
 SHOOTING HUSBAND
Trial of Mrs. opie Grace Begun Yes
 terday at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga. July 2s.-Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace's trial on the charge of shooting her young husband, moved swiftly forward today. Within two hours after the former Philadelphia woman had entered her plea of not guilty, jury had been obtained and the prosecuation had begun taking of testimony. When the court adjourned the first witness was being examined. More than twenty others have been summoned, but it is doubtful if the prosecution will call them all.
 Grace's entrance into the courtroom. stretched on a cot, furnished the one dramatic momentNof the day. Mrs. Grace, brought face to face with her husband, for the first time since the night of her arrest, paled and trem- bled. She would have swooned if the nurse at her side had not administered a bypodermic injection. Grace showed no sign of recognition. Subsequently, he manifested lively interest in the proceedings. conferring often with the prosecutor. Never. however, did he glance at his%wffe.
 The witness did not bring out de- velopments of importance. Police who forced their way into Grace's home after being summoned by telephone told of finding the injured man in his bed with bullet wound in his side, and the discovery of a revolver, con- tainlng one unexploded cartridge.
 The prosecution seemed to attach much importance to the policemen's testimony that sheet of oilcloth had been spread on the bed on which Grace lay, between the sheet and the mat tress, as if to prevent blood from the wound soaking the latter. Martha Ruff fin, the maid, who said she had made all the beds in the house for months, later testified she had never seen oil- cloth on any of them.

New York, July Sensational de- velopments in the investigation of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler who was shot down in front of the Hotel Metropole two weeks ago, came with a rush tonight when Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, accused by Rosenthal as his side partner in a gambling game, was arrested, accused of participation in the killing, and forced to plead at once to charge of murder in the first degree.
 Becker Immediately Arraigned.
 Becker was arraigned before Judge MulQueen, who had convened the court of general sessions at night for the pleading of not guilty. He was re- nanded to the Tombs. The arrest of Becker came as a sequel to the sum- moning together of the grand jury late today, conference between District Attorney Whitman and Harry Vallon, 'fBridgie" Webber and Jack Rose, three of the men under arrest in connection with the case, and their attorneys, and the appearance of several other wit nesses before the grand jury.
 First Arrested for Extortion.
 Becker was arrested at the Bathgate Avenue police station in the Bronx, where ne was on duty, on cnarge or extortion. At the time no inkling of the more serious charge to be placed against him was given. Meanwhile the grand jury, which was then in session, had voted the murder indict- ment. The police lieutenant. who had been suspended by Commissioner Wal do after his first arrest, was hurried before Judge Mulqueen and through his attorney entered the plea of mot guilty"
 Grand Jury Holds Night Session.
 Events leading to Beckers arrest began to shape themselves late this afternoon, following the preliminary hearing of several of the men under arrest before the coroner. Sam Paul, leader of an East Side organization at whose recent outing 1t is claimed Ros- enthaps killing was first discussed, was discharged. The others were held for a continued hearing. With their att torneys, Eellon, Webber and Rose were taken to the, district attorneys office ready to testify before the grand jury.

THE PANAMA CANAL
 A DOMESTIC PROBLEM.
It's Operation Not ReviewabIs by Intsr-
 national Court, Argues Senator.

Washington, July 29.-The right oi Great Britain to participate In an un- derstanding for the control of ths Panama canal was denied in tho senata today by two advocates of the measure to give American coastWise shipping the preference in canal tolls. Senator Bradley of Kentucky and Massey of Nevada contended not only that the United States had the right under the treaty to regulate It's own affairs, but that the purchase of the canal zons removed the entire subject from inter national control Senator McCumber of North Dakota took an opposite view In his speech opening the canal debate
 Senator Massey declared the Hay- Pauncefote treaty of 1901 could be en- trely Ignored by the United States, 70 far as the Panama canal was concern ed. The operation of that waterway had become a domestic problem, he said, and one not properly reviewabls by any international court Senator Bradley held that even under the treaty the United States had simply made the rules of equality which were to apply to all other nations.
 As the maker of these rules, and ths nation at whose expense the canal had been btsilt he declared the United States was not bound by the reRula- tons of the treaty, so far as it requires equal treatment" to all ships.

 MARITAL TROUBLES.
Wife Wants Divorce Set Aside-He
 Wants Marriage Annuiled.

New York, July 29,-Chauncey Olcott has filed. suit for annulment of his marriage 10 his first wife, Mrs. Cora E James Striker Moran Olcott. He mar ried her in 1888 and divorced her in 1893. In 1897 he married Miss Mar garet O'Donovan. who is still living with him.
 The case came up before Justice Howard In the supreme court in Al- bany last week, when a motion was heard to compel Olcott to pay alimony and counsel fees before he is permitted to go further with the suit for annul- ment.
 This suit discloses a matrimonial tangle which is likely to occupy the attention of the courts a long time and which involves titles to much val uable property.
 As Cora James the first Mrs. Olcott was a showgirl. Joseph L. Striker, New Yorker, married her in 1883 and they went for their honeymoon to his Newport home. There in June he was drowned, leaving his wife widow about s15o,eOO.
 In. March, 1884, Mrs. Striker mar ried Isaac c. Moran of New York. The marriage took place in Baltimore. Mo- ran, who died last winter. was broth er-in-law of E. D. Morgan, banker. The couple lived together only a few weeks. Then Mrs. Striker Moran re- turned to the stage. When playing in "Pepita" she met Olcott
 Moran in September. 1887, went to Nebraska and got a divorce. Olcott contends that this divorce is Illegal in that the Nebraska courts had no ju- risdiction. He had not conceived that Idea, however. when the next year he made Mrs. Striker Moran his wife.
 In his complaint the actor tells how he divorced Mrs. Striker Moran Olcott on the statutory grounds and how four years later he welded Miss O'Donovan in Salem, Mass.
 Now Olcott says his first wife ib trying to have his divorce set aside on the ground of fraud. He asserts she is trying to intimidate him. His complaint recites that after threats by her he had the Nebraska court rec ords examined and then learned for the first time that she had never been legally divorced from Moran and con- sequently the Moran marriage was in force when Olcott married her.
 In her answering affidavit Mrs. Cora Olcott says Olcott up to two years ago paid her Sb week. Then ne stopped this allowance. and since, she says, she has lived on charity, often being without food. Olcott, she says, has much valuable property and an in- come of s40,000 a year. She says he did not recently learn for the first time the circumstances of the Moran divorce; in fact. she ayers Olcott was with her when the papers were served on her.
 She says the first she knew of the existence of Olcott's divorce suit was one morning Olcott said to her in their boarding house in Sixtieth street: Cora, have divorced you!"
 She ignored that statement, she says. and continued to live with him as his wife for two or three years. She further says that the charges on which the divorce was obtained were false in every particular

New York, July 2s.-Senator Dixon, chairman of the national progressive committee, issued a statement tonight in which he takes issue with the ad- ministration defense of the proceed lngs of the republican convention at Chicago. MT. Dixon says he has not yet seen a copy of the full statement, but If 1t is ae full of misstatements of facts and of fallacious reasonings as the extracts, 1t can do Mir. Taft's tot. tering cause no good, and will in itself supply additional proof not only of the fraudulent acts of the national com mittee but of the fraudulent purpose behind those acts"
 MT. Dixon asserts that there is no doubt in the minds of the people of Washington and Texas that the Roosevelt delegates to <he convention represented the sentiments of the peo- pie of those states as that they were fraudulently excluded from their seats. He denies that number of contests filed were abandoned or that only "A cases were seriously contested. He admits that contests affecting the status of 74 delegates received greater emphasis than other contests, but says the reason for this was that they were absolutely unanswerable.
