en- of the village who, it was said at

action, returned indictments against
six prominent Clarkfeld township

spiracy. The indictments are kept

Vera Cruz, Mex, Oct. 25.-The Felix
Diaz revolution, which began one
week ago, came to an end on Wednes-
day, when the federal forces took pos
session of Vera Cruz. The opposition
encountered by the federals was in
considerable and the casualties few in
number. The mutineers of the Nine
teenth infantry surrendered without
fighting.
Mexico City, Oct. 25.-That the Ma
dero government will deal quickly and
summarily with General Felix Diaz,
Colonel Jose Order and the officers
of the rebelling troops and marines
at Vera Cruz was made manifest when
it was announced that the offenders
will be hailed before a court-martial
at once.
Orders were issued for the conven-
ing of the court-martial, which is to
be presided over in all probability by
General Beltran, the commander Of
the federal forces at Vera Cruz, and
the belief seems current that the
death penalty will be imposed.
The enlisted men of the rebellious
commands will also be severely dealt
with, it being understood that ten
out of each company will be shot to
death.

EVIDENCE AGAINST
BECKER IS ALL IN
Defense Closes Without Putting
Accused on Stand.
CASE NOW GOES TO JURY
Attorney Mcintyre Speaks Four Hours
on Behalf of Accused-Prose-
cutor Moss Closes for
the State.

New York, Oct. 24.-The case of
the state against Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker closed abruptly on
Tuesday and dramatically with the
district attorney, at the courts COM
mand. reading into the record a flood
of testimony from Jack Sullivan,
for whose admission Becker's lawyers
had fought long and hard when Sui
Ivan testified before. Amid the vigor
Gus protests Of Beckers counsel, who
had objected as vigorously when Sui
liyan's testimony was barred several
days ago, the king of the newsboys"
unloosed his tongue.
The defense closed without having
placed the accused officer on the wit
ness stand and apparently added no
strength to the case through the tes-
timony of the last few witnesses
called
William Shapiro, chauffeur Of the
murder car, offered in rebuttal by the
district attorney, furnished a start
ling climax to the proceedings by
swearing that neither Rose, Weber,
VaIlon nor Schepps was present when
Rosenthal was shot in front of the
Metropole hotel on the night of
July Is.
By the courts direction Jack" Sui
Ivan was recalled.
What did Rose say to you in the
councilroom?" asked the district at
tOrney Of Sullivan
He said: 'Self-preservation is the
first law of nature l had to testify
against Becker to save my life
What did Bridge Weber say?"
He said: I'm the happiest man
In the world. That - Rosenthal is
dead, and l don't care to worry about
his getting me now. Now, Jack, it's
all been fixed up by the district attor-
ney for you to corroborate us when
We testify We are all Jews, and what
do we care about that Dutch -
Becker anyhow"
Did Rose say anything else to
you?"
Yes. he said that he and Weber
and Vallon and Schepps were going
to frame up Becker, and 1 said: Why,
you bald-headed -, what do you
mean by this?' He said: Well, you
know, self preservation is the first law
Of nature
Bridge Weber said to me: The
only way you can get out of this is
for you to do as Mr.. Whitman says
and swear you saw Becker at Forty
second street and Sixth avenue few
hours after the murder. If you do
that you will get out, like we all, after
the trial If you don't. you'll be In
dicted and spend six months in jail. .
Did Weber offer you money to
cOTroborate him?"
Yes; he said: For Gods sake.
Jack, say that you saw Becker, as we
will testify. If you want any money
I'll give you $1,000 now and when you
get out We'll go into the hotel bust
mes. I'll put in $4,000 and will di-
vide the profits evenly. All you have
TO do Is to lie for US; If you lie, it's
all right. If you don't, you'll go to
jail
I told him I'd go to jail, and he
asked me to name my price. l told
him I didn't have a price when 1t
came to swearing a mans life away.

DRIVING Away ENrERPRIsEs

From the Salisbury News.
The hint from reliable sources that
Mrs. Jackson may not build the Y
Nj. c. A. Building in Salisbury on ac-
count OF the excessive prices charg-
ed for real estate is to be regretted.
II is a real pity TO drive away such
an enterprise as the erection of the
building which would mean so much
for our city because OF the excessive
prices at which real estate us held
In this city. The fact Is that our peo-
pie seem TO have gone daffy on the
valuations for real estate anywhere
near the center of The city and this
fact may result in Salisbury standing
stu for several years, as there is a
limit at which people will be "gouged"
in buying real estate If the reports
we hear of some prices which have
been asked for certain pieces of real
estate which were sought for the
erection of this Y NJ. G. A. Building
are true, then certainly Mrs Jack
son is not to be blamed for throw
ing up the whole matter and letting
Salisbury do without the building, for
some Of these prices are simply alb
surd and nonsensical. II looks like
a hold-up game and no one can blame
Mrs. Jackson, whose only interest
was to give Salisbury much needed
charity, for refusing to be "gouged'
IN the purchase of a site for the
building
fhis same proposition was run into
whom the railroads were trying Ia
negotiate for several pieces of land
for their extensive Improvements here
and there seems to be disposition
TO treat the site for the Armory the
same way. IT, there is not a halt
in the disposition Of land owners of
Salisbury to hold-up everybody who
wishes to purchase land for public
