GAMBLERS
WIDOW TEsT|F|ES
Proves Disappointment, How
ever, in Not Knowing Secrets
of Her Husband.

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-The prosecu-
ton in the trial Of Lieutenant Charles
Becker for the murder of Herman Ro-
senthal played its final strong card to-
day when Mrs. Lillian Rosenthal, Wild
ow of the slain gambler. was called
to the stand to testify to the business
relations between her husband and the
accused police official
great crowd stormed the court in
anticipation Of sensational testimony
from the woman whom District Attor-
ney Whitman believes to be one OF his
strongest witnesses
Mrs. Rosenthal told of her husband
meeting with Becker at the Elks club
on Thanksgiving eve. The lieu
tenant. she declared, placed his arms
about Rosenthal and said:
We'll Herman, how is things?"
Rosenthel complained that his af-
fairs were not as 1ourishing as they
might be and Becker declared: EVERY
thing will be all right"
Tolls of Becker's Raid.
iANii 9iAC quiChiN was leu TO the daV
of the raid. Becker tried to snna oh
down the door and she ran downstairs
to let him in.
For heavens sake" she said to him
What does this mean? Are YOU trying
to break up our home ?"
Becker, she swore, followed her inside
and said:
1T had to be Herman or me. Tell
Herman he don't owe me anything"
She referred to the $500 loaned her
husband on the mortgage.
Mrs. Rosenthal, however, proved
somewhat of a disappointment on d.
rect examination. She failed to reveal
any of the secrets which were buried
with her husband after his tongue had
been silenced by the bullets Of the as
sassins on July 6, After a short ex-
animation by Assistant Prosecutor
Moss, she was turned over TO the de-
Tense for cross examination.
The state scored when John F. Nc
Intyre chief attorney for the accused
lieutenant. tried repea tedly and unsuc-
cessfully to show through the widow
that Rosenthars death was the result
of gambling feud All questions along
this line were excluded and after being
under fire for about half an hour Mrs.
Rosenthal was excused.

FOR EXCHANGE OF TROPHIES.
Canada Would Surrender Cannon for
Standard and Mace.

Negotiations are pending for the ex-
change Of war trophies between the
United States and the Dominion of Can
ada. The question arose through the de-
sire of the Bunker Hill Monument Asso-
citation Of Boston to obtain for preserva-
ton by that association a field cannon
said to have been captured by British
troops at Bunker Hill June II, 1775. and
for many years exhibited as war tro-
phy in the historic citadel at Quebec 1t
is a small cannon of the kind used on
private yachts for saluting purposes 1t
occupies a prominent site in the citadel
grounds mounted on fixed wooden car
rage of the sort used on old time ships
Beside 1t Is q placard telling its history
The guides always show it to visitors,
and many thousand Americans have seen
1t.
The Canadian authorities are not dis
posed to object seriously to the return Of
the historic cannon In case the United
States government is willing to recipro-
cate by restoring to the city OF Toronto
the British royal standard and the mace
OF the Canadian legislature captured by
American troops at York. Canada, April
81. 1873. The standard and mace are
among the war relics on exhibition at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. The royal
standard Is q feet long and % feet wide

tured from British troops and the only
one in existence outside Of the British

SIX HUNDRED IN PERIL.
Women and Children Under Tent
Blown Down by Storm.

STAFFORD, Del. June 1S.-Accompa-
MED by q westerly gale which reached q
velocity OF eighty miles an hour, a heavy
rainstorm swept the Delaware and Mary
land peninsula yesterday morning, up
roofing trees. unroofing houses and leav.
ing a trail of destruction In its wake.
Six hundred people. mostly women and
children, were panic-stricken at Laurel
when the heavy winds blew down a chau-
tauqua tent and injured several people.
M. w. Kenney and DR.. ]. NJ. Fooks are
among the most dangerously injured.
The vivid flashes Of lightning and heavy
peals of thunder kept the people In a
tremor OF fear for almost an hour. Sew
eral women tainted and had to be taken
home. The storm was farreaching and
In rural districts great damage was done
to growing crops. Electric light, tele-
phone and telegraph wires were out OF
commission for several hours.
Northbound passenger train No. 80 was
wrecked on the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk railroad at 1890 O'Clock last

INJURIES WERE FATAL.
David Ptferling Dies in Hospital as
Result of Accident.

David Pifferling. cattle dealer. who re-
sides on the Benning road, was struck by
a street car yesterday afternoon while
crossing near Pennsylvania avenue and
7th street northwest, and fatally injured.
He became unconscious shortly after he
reached the Emergency Hospital and
died shortly before II o'clock this morn
ing.
Pifferlng and Albert Bennett were to-
gether on 7th street, near the Center
market. and the former, it Is thought
started across the street to the market
and was struck by the car. The motor
man stopped his car and went to P1ffer-
ling's assistance
Detective Howard Vermllion cared for
Pifferling until he could be conveyed to
the hospital. Physicians there found that
his skull had been fractured and that he
had received internal injuries. Three Of
his ribs were broken.
Coroner hewitt made a partial investi-
cation Of the affair today. Witnesses ex-
amined by the police stated that the &C.
cident was unavoidable. SO far as the
motorman was concerned Some Of them
suggested that Pifferling had his head
down and was trying to get across the
street In time to avoid the storm. It Is
probable that certificate Of accidental
death will be given without the formality
of an inquest.
