$4,000 POLICE FUND FOR
DEFENSE OF CHAS. BECKER.
Plea OF Not GuiIty---Attorney
Makes Motion to Dismiss Indictment
On Grounds That 1t Was Irregular
Case Set Over to "Wednesday.

New York. Aug, 5.-A police fund of
900 Is being raised for the defense
of Charles Becker, the police lieuten
ant. charged with instigating the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal, according to
sthe information in the hands of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, tonight.
The money is being collected, it is
said, by the so-calied system, which.
aside from the murder case, is to be
the subject or a separate investiga-
ton by the district attorney, who be-
lieves there is a corrupt alliance be-
tween the system, and the gambling
fraternity founded on graft and black
mail.
the information came to the prose-
eutor, today, in connection with the
arraignment of Becker to answer thc
call against him. During five hours
of legal procedure, which included the
withdrawal by Becker of his plea of.
mot guilty for the purpose of offers
ing motions to invalidate the indict-
ment, the prisoner was represented by
three lawyers, one of whom entered
the case and mysteriously withdrew,
while the assistance of the other two
seemed doubtful in their minds when.
the proceedings were over.
John w. Hart, who has thus far
represented Becker, was the lawyer,
who conducted the public part of to-.
DAYS legal proceedings. After with
drawing his clients plea Of mot gull
"" re made one motion tddisniss tue
Indictment on the ground Il Was 1T
regular. and another TO review the
grand jury minutes and takexeyidence
to show whether the ground of thesin-
dictment was sufficient. Judge Mui-
queen refused to hear arguments on
the motion, today, and set the case
over until Wednesday. Hart. in his
application to inspect the jury min
iites. held the evidence produced was
not legal in that it was testimony OF
alleged consprators in the crime.
The fact that Becker was to appear
fer arraignment attracted an immense
crosYd to the Criminal Courts building
in TIE hope of getting q glimpse of the
man, who is tine central figure in New
Yerkss greatest police scandal. Among
this n were recognized many gamblers
and characters of the underworld. and

FISHES ARE PROOF.
Of Lost Continent Between South
America and Africa.

New proof of the existence of a
sunken continent in the Atlantic
Ocean, between South America and
Africa, has just been given to the sci
entifie world by the Pittsburg Carne-
gle Institute Museum. 1t is in the
form of report on over one hundred
new species of fish found in British
Guiana by an expedition sent there by
the museum, and which have been
proved to be the near relatives of fish
found in Africa.
The continent which science believes
to have disappeared below the surface
OF the Atlantic is not the tabled Allan
It's of Plato and of the theosophicai
k"adepts' who produce. by introspec-
tion, reports of what took place among
its inhabitants. Science calls it Hell
lenes' and says that the years during
which it has lain at the bottom of the
sea number something like a million
and a half The fish which have been
found in South America and those
which were previously known to exist
in Africa are both the descendants of
fish which lived in the rivers of Hell
lenes and swan away some to the East
and some to the West, before the land
sank
The account of these fish and their
ancestry and their relationship to the
fish of Africa, together with the pie
lures of them, has just appeared in a
handsome book weighing / pounds
and entitled The Fifth Volume of the
Memoirs of the Carnegie Museum"
The four previous volumes were full
of interesting news" to the scientific
world, but hardly approached in inn
portance that which has just been
published Scientists know, but the
general run of Pittsburgers hardly
suspect. the extent to which the Car
negie Institution has in recent years
become contributor to the cause OF
science through its publications.
over 120 important papers upon the
various sciences have appeared in
these publications since they were
commenced in 1908. Volume five OF
the Memoirs" is a great quarto of 556
pages, illustrated with a frontispiece.
10 plates and 33 maps. 1t embodies
the results of the expedition under
taken in the winter of 1907-S by Prof.
G, H. Eigenmann, the curator of fishes
in the museum, who is also the dean
of the postgraduate school of the In
diana State University at Blooming
ton, Ind. DR.. Eigennann is the lead :
ing authority upon the fishes of South
America. He went under the auspices
of the Carnegie Museum at the time
mentioned. to Guiana to study the
fishes of that country.
DR.. Eigenmann penetrated far into
the interior to points rarely visited by
Europeans and made the largest col
lection of fishes ever made there. He
brought home with him 10000 speci-
mems, he having discovered 40 species
new to science and taken specimens OF
a great MANY other species which have
heretofore been known only by one or
two specimens which are preserved in
