went over the details Of his 'go-be-

man. and Rose. the gambler and col
lector, the most important features
of which were the communications he
bore from one to the other at the time
when the Police Depa 'tment, of which
Becker was then a member. was sup
posed to be looking high and low for
Rose, as well as for Schepps himself.
Probabl the most dana ging part of
Scheppss y story. so far as Becker was
concerned, came in his description of
his movements and activities on the
days Immediately after the murder and
before Rose gave himself up at Police
Headquarters.
During that time schepps was busy

to his brother for a Christmas pres
ent. Some of the children at the no
tel where he was living wanted to see
it work, and naturally an eleven-year-
old boy did not need to be asked twice.
While he was showing it off the rod
he fired kept catching in the barrel,
so finally having placed it in posi-
ton young Gore squinted down the
barrel-with his good eye, of course
to see if everything was all right that
time. Somehow or other the gun went
off, and so did part of his right eye.
Of course the sight was destroyed.
Went After An Education.
Senator Gore has undergone several
operations in Washington and else
where in the hope that his eyesight
might be restored, but without avail,
Since he was IL years old Senator
Gore has not been able to read word
After he lost his sight he promptly
decided on an education as the first
necessity for life, and set about get
ting one.
He went through the public schools
then the normal school, then the Cum
berland University Of Lebanon, Tenn.
One of his earlier schoolmates accom-
panied him to Lebanon and read to
MIN. Every bit of his work was done
this way. He was yaledictorian of
his class, and one of six graduated
with highest honors.
When he left college he went to
Jackson, Miss, for six months to
learn to read with his fingers. In
1896 he moved to Texas, and to Okla
homa in 1901 On December 27, 1900,
he was married to Miss Nina Kay

IS one Of the best informed women in
the United States on public affairs
She is his eyesight He has marvel

Democrats in the Senate is but a ma
tural solution of the present situa-
ton among the Democrats of that
body. Senator Bailey Of Texas is to
retire in the spring, and Senator Till
man Of South Carolina is in extremely
poor health.
Want Currency Reform
It is apparent from Senator Cores
statements that majority Of the
Democrats in the Senate who were
looked upon as strong Wilson men are
opposed to the Aldrich currency meas
ure. 1t is also evident that the Will
son administration will take up cur
rency reform in chapters, but that no
bill revolutionizing the present sys-

The two Japanese, Yonida, the stew

was a man Of evident intelligence; his

fat-faoed, stupid Fusi held tight to the
only book he possessed, Samuel

with the painstaking industry of a boa
