The conclave this year will be on a
larger and grander scale than that
held six years ago. as the experience
acquired from the former event taught
the committees and citizens just how
to proceed to complete all arrange

would be Ommitted which would in
any way mar the occasion but to cen
tribute to the success of the couclave
along line hitherto unthouehtof
1t is probable the conclave will
far beyond the expectations of thos
most interest and mark new epoch in
the history of the Templars Grand

ure of the citizens to extend an I'M
bound hospitality and in this case
there is no reason to believe there will
not be REPETITION of their courtesy
and Hospitality which reigns supreme
on all occasions of like nature.

BECKER TRIAL IS AGAIN POSTPONED To Take Testimony in Hot Springs-Fav0rable to
 Defense

New York, September 11-Instead of be- ing called to trial tomorrow as the first to be prosecuted for the Rosenthal mur- der Police Lieutenant Charles Becker has won nearly a months delay of the ordeal.
 Justice Bischoff of the supreme court to- day granted the application of John F. Mcintyre, counsel for the indicted police- man for a stay until Monday, october [.
 The reason for the stay is to allow the appointment of d commission of one or three persons to go to Hot Springs, Ark, to take testimony which is said to be val uable to Rockers defense. This testi- mony has to do with Sam Schepps, the alleged paymaster of the murders. who after his arrest at Hot Springs is declared 10 have told various persons that Becker had nothing to do with the Rosenthal murder.
 There were reports tonight that District Attorney Whitman might go before Jus tice Golf to seek order vaeating the stay and for proceeding with the trial, but the district attorney on learning of Jus tice Bischoff's action refused to make known what he would do until he was served with the order.
 '1 am ready to try Becker" was all that Mir. Whitman would say
 Tonight the district attorneys office received a telegram from Douglas Hotchkiss of Hot Springs stating that allegations concerning him on MT. Mc- Intyres motion today were false.
 The message addressed to "The Dis trict Attorney" read:
 '1 have made no affidavit In effect that Schepps here exculpated Beck CT and have reason to believe no others made them Refute any such alleged affidavits.
 Douglas Hotchkiss."
 It is understood that the district at torney will send representatives to Hot Springs to take the affidavits of the three men mentioned by MT. Me- 1ntyre Should these bear out the post . masters telegram, the district attorney will present them before some supreme court justice and ask that the order granting a stay on the Becker trial be vacated on the ground that it was based on an application made in bad faith. | Hot Springs, Ark, September 11.--G. ID. Burns, representing counsel for Po- lice Lieutenant Becker, has been in Hot Springs it became known today for the past week. He has been trying to secure dispositions from persons to whom Sam Schepps. one of the wit nesses in the Rosenthal case talked Schepps was arrested here August TO- He left here August D. accompanied by Assistant District Attorney Rubin and Detective Thomas and Stewart of New York. and arrived in New York Aug ust 19.

 About 12:35 o'clock Officer Sorrell. walking up Second avenue, was at tracted by loud cries and shrieks.

WILEY ON VALUE OF
 GOOD SET 0F TEETH

l Washington, September 1.-The United States is going more and more toward socialism, and state aid for the public schools is socia1istic, declared Dr. liar I vey W. Wiley, speaking in favor of dental inspection in the public schools before the National Dental association tonight. We are growing more socialstic every day" said Dr. Wiley, and we are com ing to think that the state owes It's, cit izens something. Public education by the state and the advocacy of good roads by the state are socialstic doctrine and it is being urged on all sides these days. We have medical inspection in the schools
 and I believe we should have dental in- spection as well.
 Childhood Is the time to start this in- spection and you cannot give the child a better asset as a start In life, than a good set of teeth"
 Dr. Wiley said that next to the inn portance of good teeth was good food, but he declared he was opposed to all
 efforts to modernize food in the way of
 having it artfcialy masticated and d.
 gested before eating.
 One thousand children die daily in this
 country, said Dr. Wiley, and the deaths
 are due more to bad teeth than to any
 other trouble

alley they passed five big. black negroes sitting on some steps. According to the victims the negroes had announced their ability to "Whup cry white man alive Webb resented this assertion and sad so and the fight ensued. It was evident that the negroes did not use their fists alone. and the white man and negro who were witnesses of the encounter say that they beat the men from behind while others held their arms. Corly had fought while and then seeing that they would get tue worse of the fight ran for an officer, and 1t was during his absence that Webb and Moore were beaten with the brick and stabbed
 When Officer Sorrell appeared on the scene. the negroes had disappeared, and as no description could be furnished he was unable to locate them. A 5-inch bladed pocket knife was found lying in the pool of blood where Moore had lain, but there were no marks of identifica- ton on its handle.
 It was stated last night at police head quarters that this block where the fight had taken place had been, during the past months. the scene of many such fights between negroes and whites, and that the department would in the future exercise a strict patrol over the negroes in that district.
 Word from Webb's home in Avondale early this morning said that his con dition was critical. as the knife wound in the back had penetrated to great depth. lnternes at the Hillman stated that Moore's exact condition could not be given until some time late this morning. Upon his arrival at the hos pital he had been placed on the oper- ating table where his head was dressed. but the doctors fear that the skull has been fractured. Webb said that he caught a glimpse of Moore when the negro hit him on the head with the brick and that 1t had broken in half, so great was the force with which the blow was dealt
 Moore, employed al present as an extra foreman at the Southern Railroad company's Avondale yards, is from Georgia, where he was in the employ of that same railroad

 Five minutes after the last passen- ger had been taken off, the Perseus be- gan to sink and a short time later plunged head first to the bottom in deep water settling completely out of sight.
 Passengers on the Perseus Gall mem contra dicted the first statements given out that there was little excitement on board the steamer. relating that as the vessel was being rushed to land there was a wild scramble for life pre- servers when the rising water de- ranged the electric system and the lights went out Guards were stationed about the rails to prevent any panic-stricken person from jumping overheard and by the time the vessel was docked the ex- citement was somewhat allayed.
