BECKER TRIAL SET
FOR SEPTEMBER 12
His Attorney spars for Delay But Jus
tice Goff Sets Time
For Case.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Peremptor-
lily sweeping aside all OF the motions
by John H. Mcintyre, counsel for Po-
lice Lieut.. Charles Becker, indicted
for the murder of Gambler Herman
Rosenthal, Justice Goff in the extra
ordinary criminal term of the supreme
court, today ordered plea of not
guilty entered for Becker and fixed
the trial for Sept. IL.
Mcintyre first attacked the indict-
ment as invalid, insisting that 1t was
improperly presented. Justice Goff
listened to the argument quietly and
promptly overruled it. Then Mcintyre
insisted that the attitude of the dis
trict attorney in trying to force the
accused to trial while public opinion
was at it's present high stage" was IL
legal. and unseemly, but Justice Goff
replied that the case was properly in
court and called on Mcintyre to enter
his plea.
THE defendant refuses to plead at
this time," replied the counsel for the
defense.
"Mr. Clerk" began Goff, you will
enter plea of not guilty to the in
dictment of Charles Becker charging
him with murder in the first degree"
District Attorney Whitman then
moved that the trial be fixed for Sept.
II.
Il will fix the date at Sept, TO-" an.
swered Goff
But we simply cannot get ready
for trial in SO short time, broke IN
Mcintyre.
Sept. TO-" answered the white
bearded justice.
District Attorney Whitman inter
rupted the proceedings and explained
to the court that under the statue
concerning homicide cases, it would
be illegal to force Becker to trial un-
der nine days. Goff examined the code
and agreed with the district attorney
and then ordered the date of the trial
changed from the tenth to the twelfth.
He then told the district attorney
that he was ready to go ahead with
the John Doe" proceedings
Becker was taken back to the
Tombs. Mcintyre is now expected to
move for change of venue in order
to secure delay.

MARTIAL Law m
WEST VIRGINIA

CHARLESTON. w. Va. Sept a.
The rule Of the mine guard was sus.
pended at least temporarily today
toqay when Governor William E..
Glasscock proclaimed martial law in
the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek min
Ing districts. The state troops have
been In the territory for month.
It is the first time that martial law
was ever invoked in West Virginia.
The governor determined to issue
the Proclamation after conference
In which the destruction Of railroad
tracks yesterday was discussed. It
was reported that the tracks we're
torn up in many places along Cabin
Creek.
Great quantities of ammunition,
rifles and machine guns were con-
fiscated by the state soldiers today
and many were arrested for carrying
arms.
The territory embraced in the proc
lamation is mountainous. 1t Is about
twenty miles long, extending from the
kanawha river to the Fayette county
line, and about eight miles In width.
1t includes all the territory between
Paint and Cabin Creeks and extending
mile on each side OF either stream.
At least fifty mine operations are in
cluded In the territory. Since last
April a reign Of terror has prevailed
there, marked by many clashes be-
tween striking miners and mine
guards Several men on both sides
have been killed and wounded.
Despite urgent requests, Governor
Glasscock long withheld the procla-
nation of martial law although he
prepared 1t more than a month ago.
He sought to abate the trouble by cali
ing upon the miners and guards to
disarm. The miners sought to have
the mine guards removed by civil pro-
cess, but without avail.
