FOUR ARE ARRAIGNED.
Defense Allege They Have Many
Surprises to Spring-Accused Will
Be Put Upon the Stand.
Have Many

New York, Nov. S.-With Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker in the
death house at Sing Sing Prison as
the brains behind the ASSASSINATION
Of Gambler Herman Rosenthai, the
state took up today the task of send
ing to join him the alleged actua! in
struments in the crime.
With Justice Coff on the bench Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, in the ex.
traordinary Criminal Term of the Su-
preme Court, moved tie trial of Harr
Horowitz, alias Gyp the Blood, LOUIS
Rosenberg, alias Lefty Louie; Frank
Cirofci, alias Dago Frar k, and Frank
Muller, alias Whitley Lewis. They
are alleged to be the gunmen from the
Jack Zelig gang who, at the behcst Of
Becker and direct command Of Brio
gle Webber and Jack Rose went to
the MetrOpole Hotel, called Rosentha'
outside early on July 10th and shot
him to death. True to gang ethics the
four elected to 90 to trial together uli-
der the motto zone for all and all for
one" and Whitman said before court
opened that he would not oppose their
desire.
Former Magistrate Wahlc, counsel
for the quartette said that he would
not disclose defense until the states
case was complete.
He insisted however, that he had
many surprises up his sleeve and that
he would show that the four accused,
notwithstanding the Identification o.
half a dozen witnesses, were not par
ticirant. in the murdcr. All four Of
the gunmcn arc expected TO take the
stand. The district attorney said 20
day that he had no expectation that
anyone of the four would weaken an;,
they to help the prosecution. One had
planned to, he intimated, only to be
forced back into line and his nerve
strengthened by the other three. The
identity of this individual was not
disclosed.
Because it had been found imposs:
BILE to finish murder tria! in which
Justice Golf was sitting last night a:
had been hoped, it seemed likely AZ
lO:30 that the gunmue's trial would
have to go over until tomorrow. There
was a possibility that it might be
reached by afternoon but this posi-
bilitv was slight.

from the liner oval George stranded
ten miles east of Quebec arrived here
an the C. P. r. tug cruiser and the
ferryboat Pilot at noon today. They
numbered about 500.
The steamer and tugs tying to pull

turned as on pivot.

A CLEAN UP" MESSAGE
nitudc.

Washington, Nov. S-What he
wants from Congress this coming ses-
sion-the last session of his admins
tration and the last one in which the
Republicans will have chance Of con-
trolling legislation-and what he will
actually get, were the questions which
President Taft today set himself to
answer. The executive began the
active task of mapping out his annual
message, comforting with his cabinet
members.
The President plans to make his
Forthcoming message Cleanup OF
al! LEGISLATION advocated by the Re-
pubic. "a resume Of the policies
for which his administration has stood
and which as yet remain unacted
upon. With only 81 actual working
days Exclusive Of Wednesdays which
by the House rules are devoted to a
consideration Of special calendar Of
bills) the President realizes that the
coming session will probably rot at
tempt enactment Of any general lcgis-
ation. It will take every moment of
the legislators time to pass the SIN
teen routine appropriation bills neces-
sary for maintenance Of the govern
ment departments.
But Taft will shift to Congress re-
sponsibility for a legislative magni-
tude. Failure to adopt that program
will give the Republicans their oppor-
lunity to Icy blame or TIE Democratic
house.
The President told department
heads at today's cabinet meeting that
he proposes to follow his plan Of last
wear in submittinG one general mes
sage when Congress convenes and fol-
low that by a number of supplement
tary messages on special topics.
Tariff, trusts, treaties, judiciary
reform and the Taft idea of 'protec-
ton of our constitutional liberties"
the President firmly indicated, would
be the burden Of his congressional
recommendations
Immediate and severe cuts i'll tariff
on certain schedules which the Presl-
dent has contcnded are too high will
be urged. lie will decry, however,
against "crippling" any industries by
tariff reduction.
Supplement to the Sherman anti
trust law and federal incorporation
law will be the trust program of the
President.
Some time during the session, it
was learned today, Taft also proposes
to incorporate in a message a COM
plete record Of the constructive
achievements Of his entire admInlstra-
ton.

Sb;ps Ordered to Mediterranean.

Washington, Nov. s. President
Taft today ordered battleships len
nessoe and Montana to sail to the Me-
diterrenean for the protection Of Amer
ican missionaries and educators at Bel
rut and Smyrna. The American am
hassador at Constantinople has been
ordered to confer with his European
colleagues to take any measures that
NAV be necessary if by chance condl-
t;ons turbulence affecting the
safety of foreigners in Turkey should
arise.

London, Nov. s.-That the bulga-
rians have captured most OF the 1or'S
which constitute Constantlnopie,s ias'
line of defense was persistentiy re.
norted here today on the strength o.
messages from Sofia and Belgrade
Furious fighting has been in pro
gress for several hours along the Cha-
talia line, it was certain. just wna'
the situation was today was doubtful
however. Reports and denials follow
ed one another so rapidly that mill
+,,.v men were completely confused
Of one thing were military experts
srre-that Constantinople's fall was
matter, at any rate of only a day
or two. Ehat massacre OF Chrls-
tians that will follow the crownlhg
turkish defeat seemed more likely
with every Succeeding development
The assertion that Adrianople mac
surrendered still rested today on the
sole authority of the London Daliy
Mails correspondent c. E. Hands, at
Bucharest. 1t was not generally De-
,;eved Athen authorities continued
70 insist that the Greeks have taken
Salonika, though this report was also
denied from Constantinople, whlie
the Sofia and Belgrade governments
said they had not heard of it. lester-
davis claim from Belgrade that the
servians had taken Monastir was also
thought tod;t to have been unfound'
ed, though IL appeared that the Ser
Wan forces had won a victory in the
city's vicinity.
1t was learned in London newspa
per offices today that the Sofia ana
Relprade censors have not only been
cutting out portions of the
war correspondents reports, but that
they have also written into them, with
out the correspondents knowledge
much misinformation which they be-
lieved more likely to pass for truth
under the correspondent signatures
than if given out in the form OF OH
cial statements.

Constantine, Roumania, Nov. S.-A
disease resembling cholera has broken
broken out among the wounded in Con
stantinople, it was learned here to-
day on reliable authority.
The situation in the Sultan's capi-
tai has been growing desperate since
the Turks were driven bac!; to the
Chataldja line Of defenses.
The government has done its ut
most to prevent the people from learn
ing how hopeless is the army's posi-
ton, but the news has leaked out, un.
til today every one knew, not details,
indeed, but that the city was in i'm
mediate peril of plunder.
Only the fact that SO large a pro-
portion of the male population is at
the front has prevented the native
quarters from getting completely be-
yond control already II the troops
are driven into the city from Cha
talia, however, the government did not
pretend it will be able to keep order
among them.
The native Christians will not be
slaughtered without fight however.
Correspondents who have suggested
that the Christians were likely to be
cut down like sheep apparently have
not taken into account the fact that
they are, if anything more numerous
than the Mohamemdans in Conatan
tinople, that they have been in arms
at the front, just as the Mohammed-
ans have, that they still have their
weapons and that they are sure to put
up a desperate fight if attacked.
If disorders break out in Constantl-
nople as seemed more than likely to-
day, they will not take the form so
much of a massacre as Of desperate
battle in the streets, in which more
than 100000 men, women and chill
dren will he involved. Quarter will be
neither given, nor accepted and the
bloodshed probably will be frightful.
Business, Constantinople messages
said. was practically suspended III the
Turkish capital. The bazars were OIL
most deserted. Most Of the shops
were not only shut but boarded up.
There were few people in the nor
mally crowded streets. Nineteen TWEEN
tieths of the men were scattered along
the line of the Chatalja defenses and
the Turkish women do not venture
much out of doors.
Food prices have reached point IN
Constantinople where they are almost
prohibitive so far as the poorer
classes are concerned, and there is be-
ginning to be intense suffering from
hunger.
