New York, Oct 1s.-Jaclx Sullivan
indicted with four gunrnen for the
murder of Herman RosenthaI, the
gambler, was the chief witness for
the defense today at the trial of form
er Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
accused of instigating shs nIrder
He tried to unfold his version of the
alleged conspiracy on the part OF
gamblers to murder Rosenthal, but
much of his story was untold. JUS

based on previous testimony. He as
serted that Bridge Webber and
bald jack Rose had told him after
the murder that they were "going to
frame Becker, and turn him over tc

BECKER TELLS HIS STORY.
The story which Lieutenant Charles
Becker hopes to be allowed to tell on
the stand in his own defense was out
lined in statement given out by him
IF 1 am permitted to tell my story
on the witness stand" he said, II can
show how simple and obvious and in
nocent, so far as I am concerned, are
the explanations Of all my meetings
with Rose, using him as my stool
pigeon.
"The best evidence that I was not
profiting by my place as head Of the
squad, and was not plotting TO murder
anybody so I could keep the Job, are
the requests I made to Commissioner
Waldo almost every week from the
first part Of this year to be relieved
Of that command. did this because
Of charges of graft ard bribery and
anything else the gamblers codl6

man in place like mine had gone tc
the wall before such attacks, sooner OF
later.
my story of my connection with
Rose does not require any murder
plot to support 1t. 1t will show for It
self that it is the natural, reasonable
truthful explanation of everything thai
ever occurred between us.
81 used Rose to get evidence against
gambling houses. He was Invaluable
and I had to do everything I possible
could to keep him in line.
Before I made raids, tried to find
out the names and all the connections
of the men employed in the houses
marked for raids. Rose could get mt
such information as no one else could
Rose has woven me into this story
Of murder plot. I always suspected
him, hut I did not care particularly

This, however, Is not delaying the

MAY BE REPAIRED
BY THIS AFTERNOON
If Weather is Favorable To
day a Big Force of Men
Will be Placed at Work,
and if Possible Trains Will
Be Run Into Pensacola
Over New Road Today.

A big washout near Roberts on the
Gulf, Florida and Alabama prevented
the new railroad from running the
first train into Pensacola yesterday,
as had been anticipated by General
Manager Berry. The washout was at
one Of the fills, and was caused by
the rain which almost reached cloud
burst proportions in that vicinity ear
ly yesterday morning. II 1t is pos
sible trains will be run today.
A big force of men attempted to
make repairs yesterday, but the con-
tinued rain prevented very effective
work being done. However, II the
weather clears today better work can
be done and it is possible that the
repairs may be completed by this
afternoon. If so a train VIII be run
over the line south to Pensacola and
as far as the site of the new depot
on Coyle street. II not early next
week will witness trains running
All OF the work has been completed
in building the trestle across Bayou
Chico, as well as the laying of rails
from the city to the bayou, except
ing a small point where the tracks
cross those of the Mclaughlin rail-
road This will be done today II the
weather permits.
New rolling stock is arriving daily
for the railroad, as well as other
equipment, and preparations are be-
ing made to lay rail from the depot
site on Coyle street south to the wat
erfront, where the pier is under con-
struction.

Constantinople, Oct. 1s. - Heavy
fighting was reported in progress
throughout the day In the region of
Kirk -Kilesseh, in northeast Adria-
nople. Large forces Of Balkans and
Turks were engaged
The departure today from Constan-
tinople of the Balkan minister was not
attended by any hostile demonstration.
Thousands of Greeks and other pros
pective combatants from Turkey were
permitted to depart and join their
forces. Doubt prevailed UP to the last
moment whether Greece would finally
declare war. The Turkish government
made no serious efforts to keep Greece
out, but the nation made a war
declaration today.

ROOSEVELT TO

ONE OF THE SLOWER PENN
SYLvANiA TRAINS - COLONEL
TELLS GOV. JOHNSON TO KEEP
THE FIGHT GOING.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Former President
Roosevelt will leave Chicago for Oys-
ter Bay ON Monday or Tuesday of
next week. He will travel on one of
the slower trains over the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, so that he may enter
New York at the station from which
the trains to Oyster Bay depart.
This plan was decided upon today
with only the qualification that 1t
depended upon Colonel Rooseveit's IS
continued and uninterrupted improve
ment, which his physicians now con-
fidently expect.
Aware of this the former presidents
physicians began consultation as to
a probable date for his leaving,
which will probably be Monday or
Tuesday.
CANNOT LEAVE SUNDAY.
Colonel Roosevelt said he would
Hike to be on his way to Oyster Bay
Sunday. This, it was agreed, was
impossible. While the danger from
sepsis, it was said, would be suffi
ciently gone tonight, there was still
the remainder of the eight day period
In which lockjaw might appear. This
has been made less probable by ad-
ministering an antitoxin, but the
practice Of taking absolutely no
chances will be continued

COUNTY POLITICS.

Judge F. M. Page to Enter The Con-
test for County SenatOr-Assist-
ant Judge Contest.
1t was supposed that the man win
ming the St. Johnsbury caucus in
the contest for county senator would
be ndorsed by the rest of the county
but there are rumors to the con-
trary There is so much feeling in
the southern part of the county over
the way G. A. Calderwood as chair
man of the county convention two
years ago treated the delegation from
Ryegate that the people of that sec
ton after hearing the result of the
st. Johnsbury caucus last Thursday
evening decided to present the name
OF Assistant Judge F. NJ. Page of
Groton as a candidate for senator in
opposition to Mr.. Calderwood. 1t is
not known how strong a movement
will be developed along that line but
in the selection of Judge Page the
south end people have secuerd a man
with very few enemies and many
friends and he may prove a strong
competitor.
The announcement of w. H. JEFF
/ fry of East Burke for the position
of second assistant judge is likely
to develop a contest for that Office
as E. H. Hoffman of Lyndon had al
ready been considered a strong can
didate for the place.
There is no evidence of further con-
test in the convention. L. A. Oar
ling will be nominated for senator,
w H. Worthen for sheriff, N. A.
Norton for states attorney and w.
p. Smith for judge of probate.
