Threats Brought

New York, October 1s.-Threats of in- limitation against John F. Mcintyre Becker's counsel and against Giovanni Stanish. who testified against the accused lieutenant. were told of tonight in state ments.
 MT Mcintyre said that a man unknown to him threatened to blow his brains out if he should call as a witness for the defense a certain woman, wife oi one of the witnesses for the prosecution His threat, said Becker's lawyer, was made when he was gathering his papers after adjournment of the trial Saturday night. Only few men were in the trial room when the stranger spoke to him
 A guard for Stanish, who on Friday identified ''Whitey,' Lewis as one of the gang which killed Rosenthal had been provided by MT Whitman. the prosecutor said tonight. Stanish told the distric, attorney he had been followed by strange men ever since leaving court Friday.
 "It is an expensive task" MT. Whit man said. "but am determined that all my witnesses shall have all the protec- tion the county can give them"
 The possibility that the case of former Police Lieutenant Charles Becksr, on trial before Justice Golf for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, will go before the jury without any defense having been presented by John F. Mcintyre, Becker s counsel. was indicated In q statement made tonight by MT. Mcintyre.
 "we may contend" he said that there s not enough evidence to warrant con viction and go to the jury on the peo- ple's case. If at it's conclusion the state case is no stronger than 1t Is at present I don't see that my client has much to answer for"
 Mir. Mcintyre made this statement after analysing the testimony given yesterday by Bald Jack" Rose, the gambler whom District Attorney Whitman is said to re- gard as one of the states most important witnesses against Becker.

HUGH GIBSON WILL
 REMAIN IN HAVANA

New York, october 14.-President Taft has countermanded the order transferring Hugh s. Gibson from sec retary of the American legation at Havana to secretary of the legation at Brussels, according to a dispatch to the Herald from Washington.
 MT. Gibson, 1t will be recalled, was iecently assaulted by a Cuban news paper reporter because of his activity in securing recognition of American claims. His transfer after the assault led to some comment that this action would make the Cuban people believe MT.

PERKINS LETTER
 ID H|LLES PUBLIC Comments on Testimony Before Committee HARVESTER MONEY Hilles Asked to Produce Evidence. Roosevelt Expenditures Were
 Not Less Than Two Mill
 lion Dollars

New York, October lS--tseorge w. Per kins, chairman of the executive commit tee of the progressive party, made public tonight a letter which he sent today to Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the na- tional republican committee, In reply to the letter MT IIilles read to the Clapp commission while testifying last Thurs day.
 Mir Perkins calls attention to the fact that the statements and charges made in MT IIllles' letter were made deliberately in writing and under oath but says the sworn statement contains no proof with which to support the charges.
 You state" MT. Perkins continues. there was evidence on every hand Of the expenditures of large sums of money in Mir Roosevelt's behalf-expenditures which undoubtedly amounted to not less than $2,0oO00O. If there exists such evil dence on every hand, why did you not produce it In detail on the stand before the very committee that is so anxious for exactly this kind of information?
 As to Harvester Money
 You state that with respect to the as- sertion that harvester money was used In the campaign, certain undisputed facts permit no other reasonable conclusion. Again I say, if there exists such certain undisputed facts, why did you not pro duce and present such facts while on the stand before the proper committed?
 You state that there is a fact full of significance namely, that the Harvester trust itself Is silent as to whether 1t has contributed anything. Bearing on this point, In another part of your letter you say to me. to all intents and purposes. therefore, you have been the Harvester trust
 "If, as you assert, I am the Harvester trust, then the statement I made in my letter. of September g, namely that the Harvester company has not, directly or indirectly, itself or through individual employe, officer, director or friend, at any time contributed one cent toward Mir. Roosevelt's campaign either before the Chicago convention of June or since that time, should be accepted by you as a definite statement on behalf of the com psny that it has made no such contribu- tion as you claim. If however, you re- use to ditfpt my SAdttbtiit anu nave such overwhelming evidence as you claim to have. to t'le effect that the Harvester company has contributed, then, knowing az you do that such contributions would be illegal. you surely could easily have had President Taft order an investigation made of the books of the Harvester com pany by proper government officials in order to ascertain just what contributions have been made and publish to the world the facts that such investigation re- yeaIed''

Widow of Gambler Is Ex- pected To Be Principal
 Witness
"BRIDGIE" WEBER TO
 BE CALLED TO STAND
Whitman Believes Mrs. Rosenthal Will Corr0borate Testimony Given by Rose-Hopes to
 Prove Motive

New York, October 1s.-Mrs. Herman Rosenthal. widow of the gambler who was murdered July l6, Is expected to be the principal witness tomorrow when the trial of former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, accused of Rosenthals murder, is resumed before Justice Golf This fact was indicated tonight by District Attor- ney whitman, who will call Mrs. Rosen- thai to the stand In expectation that she will eorroborate the testimony given by Bald Jack Rose. Through Mrs, Ros- enthals sworn story the prosecutor hopes to convince the jury that Becker had a motive in ordering, as alleged the kill ing of Rosenthal, this motive being that the gambler was about to furnish the county authorities with information which would link Becker with system of levy ing graft.
 Webber Will Be Called
 "Bridgie" Webber the self confessed owner of the gambling house where the gang which slew Rosenthal is alleged to have meen on the night of the crime, also Is expected to give testimony tomorrow If the examination of Mrs. Rosenthal Is concluded in time. The district attorney believes the direct examination of Web Der will take probably not longer than an hour. as his testimony will not be as sweeping in character as that given by Rose.
 Mir Whitman visited 'Bridgie'' this aft ernoon in the West Side court prison and talked there also with Harry Vallon and Sam Schepps. two other prospective wit nesses. and with Rose. Vallon and schepps are to be called after Mrs. Rosen- thai and Webber. After them, 1t Is ex- peeted, Harry Pollok will be called upon to explain Roses presence at this home where, 1t is alleged. Rose after the mur- der received messages direct from Becker.
 Justice Con, 1t is said. will hold night sessions this week In an effort to have the trial completed by october 21, when the extraordinary grand jury which will investigate police graft charges will prob ably begin It's hearings. also before Jus tice Csoff.

SUPREME COURT ID BEGIN WORK TODAY First of Government Ma chimes Resumes Activity ALL JURISTS PRESENT Over 800 Cases on "Bathtub Trust" Suit Among the First
 Cases-No Decisions Before
 Next Monday

l Washing ton, October 13.--The SUI
 preme court of the United States will begin its annual eight month term to-
 morrow, being the first of the govern
 ment machines to resume activity this
 fall. All the members of the court are
 in the city. making an exception to the general rule of late years when at least
 one seat on the bench has been vacant
 when court convened.
 l Absence of President Taft from the city will result in postponement of
 the customary visit of the justices to lthe White House. Ordinarily nothing
 more than this visit would occupy the attention of the court on the opening
 day, but it Is probable that Chief Jus | tice White will take advantage of the Opportunity to make a gain on the docket. by allowing attorneys to file such motions as they may have pre- pared.
 800 Cases Docketed Twenty less cases are on the docket than were there 6 year ago. However, 1 there are now over 800 docketed enough to consume the time of the court for two years. if it did nothing else.
 Argument of a number of important cases will engage the attention of the court after Monday.
 One of the first cases to be taken un will be the so-called Bath tub trust'
 suit After that the court will listen to a second argument of the inter
 mountain rate cases involving trans continental rates.
 A series of especially assigned cases will test the validity of contracts by railroads and express companies For the second time the court will hear later in the week or during the following week arguments over the va lidity of the indictment of James Pat ten, and others on charges of conspiracy to violate the Sherman antitrust law, by running a corner on cotton on the New York cotton exchange. 48
 No Decisions Until Monday No decisions will be announced by Ithe court in all probability until Mon day, october 21. A number of impor- tant cases have been under advisement during the summer. Among these are i5 state rate cases or "2 cent fare
 cases, the Union Pacific merger suit. and the hard coal case" Because of the vast amount of work involved in the state rate cases, q decision in them is not looked for until later in the term. however.
