Becker, But Man
Gets Into Prison

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Mrs. Helen
Becker, wife of the indicted police lieu
tenant, last night caused the arrest at
her home of young man who has been
annoying her with letters and visits for
three days. He said he was John
Smith. nineteen years old, and added
that 1t made no difference whether he
had a home. He was well dressed.
Mrs. Becker on Wednesday received
q letter from an unknown man stating
that for money he could get her hus-
band out of trouble. She paid no at
tention to the letter. The man called,
but she would not see him.
Thursday she received a letter telling
her that IL she would meet two men in
the Grand Central Station yesterday
morning and pay them $500 they would
tell her a way TO free her husband.
Last night a young man called at the
Becker home, 3239 Olinville avenue, the
Bronx. Mrs. Becker invited him in
and secretly phoned to the Bronx Park
police station. She held the caller in
conversation until Mounted Policeman
McCauley arrived and arrested him.

FORCING FORMER
GRAFT COLLECTORS
TO PAY TRIBUTE
New York's Underworld De.
mands Money for Silence
in Gambling Case.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.--The startling
assertion was made today by persons
familiar with underworld conditions
that certain high officials of the police
department and others. who are alleged
to have exacted protection tribute, are
:. themselves being compelled to pay
heavy toll now to keep from District
Attorney Whitman information that
would be disastrous to them.
Men who for years have been paying
graft are now said to be collecting it
In big sums as the price of their sill
ence. Some of them are said to have
demanded regular incomes until the
storm blows over, and the gossip of
the underworld is that they are getting
1t.
Counsel for Lieut.. Charles A. Becker,
the official indicted for Herman Rosen-
thal's murder, will attempt to delay
Becker's trial as long as possible. If
they can not get postponement when
Mr.. Whitman asks to have date for
the trial set next week, 1t Is planned
to make request for change OF
venue, because of the state of public
feeling.
Mr.. Whitman hopes to have Becker s
trial start September II. John F. McIn-
tyre, chief counsel for Becker, says that
trial at such an early date he will ask
to have the trial heard in some court
outside of New York county.
1t became known today to what use
district attorney Waitman is putting
the list of gambling houses recently
turned over to him by Police COM
missioner Waldo. The list shows the
time of raids and 1t is said Mr.. Whit
mans assistants have discovered signi-
cant condolences between the raids,
, and increases in bank deposits of GER
tain police officials whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
graft.
The prosecution has worked up it's
complete case against Becker, accord
ing to a telegram received from Man
chester. VT, where the District Attor-
ney has gone for the week end. While
he would not go into details concerning
the evidence he has In hand. 1t is said
he has the names of eight persons who
saw the actual murder of Rosenthal,
and that all are ready to testify against
the accused gangsters.

his entire ambition upon Dooins ability to turn the
Giants into cluster Of stewed prunes and bring them

Manhattan Isle with their last chance to complete the

In the dizzy interim the Cubs have reached
stage where any brief slump will eradicate their dreams

been fairly effective against the leaders when furnished

Tie Up Freight Train

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI. Aug. s1.--A
shipment OF honey bees broke loose and
captured a freight train on the Great

By the time the bees got to Crystal

One Of the main points troubling the Giants In
the depressing of Mathewson Up through Friday
the Big Gun Of the Giants had not copped victory
found him the short end of the despite some
good pitching Still, what doth it profit guy to pitch
world series ball and then absorb It the neckpiece
at every start? The return of Mattys winning streak
is awaited anxiousy for with their mainstay dropping
cluster of victories and Marquard firing In bizarre
streaks, the Giant will never be safe and may
wind up in a tumut Of trouble There are unnumbered
possibilities in McGraws pitching staff but he still
lacks dependable workman of the Wood or john
son type for Marquard is likely to pitch
brilliant game or Soggy Tesreau is sure be
effective but streaks of wdness may him bulk
OF his tight battles Maty is to be steady but he
needs better luck and better support than he has been
given for month. Once under the National League
wire the Giants sure to have stormy time in any
world series debate unless it happens that such
series Marquard would be due for of his games
or Tesreau would be able to compress his stuff the
pan.
The Red SoX margin has been impressive. Stahls
team has clearly and cleany outclassed the American
League The pace set would have crowded the Mack
machine going at its best year. No club except the
Cubs OF 1906, ever won flag by such steady, even
sweep from June across the decisive line.

lose any games to the Giants these next few days,

Judge B. F. Vaughn, southwest

Judge B. F, Vaughn, southwest
of Perry in Monroe County, is one
of the most active stock buyers and
feeders, farmers and county judges
in Northeast Missouri, regardless of
age. Tuesday of last week he was
at Paris looking after the fine new
court house under erection. He was
all over the building, even to the
roof of the four story building. That
night he went to Hannibal; at 6
o'clock the next morning he took
train to Bowling Green and then to
the big mule sale of Jas. E. McPike
near Curryville and home that night
The next morning-Thursday-he
met the men out east of Perry,
eight or ten miles on the way to
Perry delivering some mules he
bought at the McPike sale He as
sisted in driving the mules to his
farm. In the afternoon he went af-
ter a load of fat cattle on another
farm several miles from his home
place and drove them home. Fri
day morning he assisted in driving
the fat cattle to Perry and loading
them in the car by s o'clock These
cattle were on feed something like
100 days and weighed about 1900
lbs. and were shipped to Chicago.
Judge Vaughn has 270 mules-76
colts. "a yearlings, 81 2-year-olds
and So from 3 to 6 years old, 1866
cattle, yearlingS and 2-year olds -
most all rs, Many of his mules
are the tops out of several punches,
as he has attended several sales
and invested in the toppy fellows.
He has bought up $500 bushels of
oats. So you see that the Judge is
busy man especially for one of
his age. Perry Enterprise.

Disease Carriers.

After recovering from the active
symptoms Of an infectious disease
the convaiescent has the germs in
his system for q longer or shorter
period Of cine, varying from a few
days to a lew weeks. In small
percentage Of ConvalesCentS the
germs remain in the system over
long periods-from a few months
to a number of years In infantile
paralysis the germs are found in
the secretions of the mouth and
nose. Those coming III contact
with these secretions may receive
infection. In scarlet fever the Sc
cretionS Of the mouth and nose
may be infected for two months af-
ter recovery from the disease. In
diphtheria the secretions Of the
mouth and nose may be infected
for an indefinite period of time. In
typhoid fever, the gall bladder may
become infected and remain so for
years. Here gall stones may be the
direct result of the infection, or the
gall bladder may become infiamed
and even develop an abscess. Peo-
pie having such germs in this way
and carrying infection are called
Disease Carriers.
Such people are perhaps the most
important agents in keeping the
tire list of infectious diseases alive
by being the means for transmit,
ting the disease germs from one
person to another. The care and
the disposition of these are perhaps
the most important question in the
prevention of diseases.
