ST. PETERS STEPS TO GO
Old Church Gets Encroachment
Removal Notice.

Historic St. Peters Church, in Bar
clay street. the oldest Roman Catholic
church i'm this city, is to lose part OF
the graceful flight of stone steps which
for generations has extended from the
porch OF the church to the sidewalk in
BARCLAY street. An order TO remove
encroachments" was served on the
church at the same time that similar
notice was served upon business men
along either side of Barclay street.
1t was feared at first that ii might be
necessary to cut off so much Of the
stairway that the columns in front of
the building would have to be removed,
but a series of conferences resulted in
a COMPROMISE arrangement in accord
ance with which the steps will be cut
down enough to permit the passage of
traffic TO and fro without hindrance, yet
without disfguring the edilice.

tended st. Peters many years almost

registration are ended, but there will
be another registration day tomorrow
for the accommodation of Samuel d.

District OF the 26th Assembly District.
Kirschenbaum tried to register last
Saturday night, half an hour before
the last day Of registration expired.
He wanted TO vote on his fathers citi-
zenship papers, but he could not tell
their date. His father had registered
al the same poll. but the officials re-
fused TO look up the necessary details.
When he got the papers he was too
late.
Kirschenbaum then asked the Su-
prcme Court for a writ Of mandamus
directing the board to reconvene and
register his name. Justice Newburger
granted the petition.

BECKER, OUTWARDLY CALM,
STRUGGLES TO HIDE EMOTION

SINNERS voice was low, but intense,
and in the courtroom, which was only
sparsely filed, II echoed in the silence.
You find the defendant guilty Of
murder in the first degree, so say you
all. You say, through your foreman,
that YOU find Charles Becker guilty of
murder in the first degree" the clerk
pursued.
First i'm a chorus, and then singly, as
they were polled by Clerk Carroll, the
Jurors answered in the affirmative.
Justice Goff, whose usually ruddy
face had taken on a pallor, asked:
rs there any other business before
the Court?'
There was no response, and court
attendant, walking over to Becker, di-
rected him to raise his right hand and
take oath to his pedigree.
At this time the doors of the court
ROOM which had been locked were
thrown open. There was a rush Of
newspaper men bound outward, but the
police on guard kept all spectators out
until the proceedings were entirely
over.

struggling as he had never struggled
before to repress his emotion. Through
