BECKER'S INDICTMENT.

Owing to Mayor Gaynor's stubborn
refusal TO permit the suspension OF
Lieutenant Becker from duty pending
the clearing up Of the case of Rosen
thai, who was murdered just az he was
about 10 give the District Attorney evl'
dence concerning his charges against
Becker. the city Of New York was sub
Iected last night 10 the spectacle of q
police lieutenant sitting at his desk. In
trusted with the protection OF life ana
property I'm an important section of the
town. after grand jury had solemnly
charged him with murder in the first
degree. Becker was In uniform and Oh
lduty when the warrant issued 10 bring
him into court for arraignment was
served, and he had 10 beg the In
ldulgence of those sent to arrest MIN tC
avoid answering q murder charge in
the earb Of peace officer. This is the
humiliation put upon the honest mem
bers Of the police force and the whole
city by the Mayors strange disposition
TO regard any criticism of the police as
malicious personal attack upon him
self. II the administration has suffered
as a result Of the Rosenthal murder
and the popular disposition Is to blame
IL less upon personal enemies Of the
dead gambler than on the intrenched
police system" the Mayor has only to
thank himself
II Is plain to all that the police have
been lax, If not purposely blind, IN
dealing with the case. The murder
took place in q brilliantly lighted
street, with several policemen close ar
hand. Careful preparations were made
of a character to attract the attention
OF wondering citizens. but the police
were blind to them. They let the
murdererS slip In leisurely fashion
through their fingers. and even got the
number Of their automobile wrong,
though bystander was able TO get IT
right and make possible the discovery
OF the driver Little or no activity
was shown by the police in finding
those who were indicated by the driver
as proper subjects for arrest, but their
convenience in arranging their alibis
and riding up to Headquarters TO sur
render seems to have been awaited.
Becker is entitled TO a suspension OF
popular Judgment on his case. Three
of the men who confess 20 arranging
the murder charge him with forcing
them to II. But how conclusive this
evidence may be against him is not
vet clear. Still, it has been plain from
the beginning that his relations with
Rosentbal and the persons who were
In the automobile within q few min
utes of the murder necessarily put him
under suspicion. In such circum-
stances il was a public scandal to con
tinue him for days on duty overseeing
the gamblers themselves, and then to
put him into another post and to allow
him TO discuss with witnesses the tes-
tinony they were going TO give TO the
grand jury. Whether Becker is guilty
or innocent, the attitude Of the city
administration toward the demand for
the fullest light on the possibility Of
an organized criminal system IN the
Police Department has been shameful

Napoleons capitulation under threat
Of humiliation. In the RussianJ Jap
aneae War Port Arthur was doomed
when the japanese poured into the city

anese worked long to gain those ele-
yations again proved the recognized
value Of plunging fire. The war In
Tripoli has shown that grca: damage
can be done by mere bombs dropped
from directly overhead. This being
demonstrated. the military authorities
OF Europe are now using machine
guns. These can be aimed and fired
more accurately than anything that is
