SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2s, 1912.
CONVICTED.

Becker, the New York lieutenant of
police, who was tried for completely i'll
the Rosenthal murder, was found guilty
OF murder in the first degree. As the
Herald has already remarked, the case
is OF great interest to the people of the
country, no matter what the verdict
might be. If Becker is guilty the con
ditions out of which his crime grew are
symptomatic of awful possibilities that
lie in the government Of cities. If he
is innocent the suggested possibilities
are still more awful. Ii a gang of
malefactors can frame up" a case
against an efficient pubic servant who
has offended them, and railroad him to
the electric chair, things are in a bad
hpe.

The construction of the diversion dam, headworks and the canal connected herewith will enable the land owners of this section to put between eighteen and twenty thousand acres of land under culli- vation next year following, and thus insure this immediate com munity prosperity.
 Artesian Belt: E. A. Washburn of Los Angeles, Cal, drilling for J. l.. lilly on the latter's land about two miles northeast of San Simon, was the one to bring in the eleventh we'll. The first flow was struck Wednesday morning at a depth of about 490 feet-65 feet shallower than in any one of the other wells here, and about 100 closer to the surface than in some of the others; thus verifying the prediction made by many, that artesian water should be obtained shallower on the east side of the draw. It has also been predicted I that larger flows would be secured east of town, so that next week or on completion of this well we shall be able to state, in all probability whether or not the latter forecast is to be true, also. This strike is, for various reasons one the most important ever made in the valley. First, because it proves an untried portion of the valley, where are located men of means; and second l ly, because on its fate hinged largely future operations here o

 Graham Guardian: The fact that Fl Paso was trying to steal the Ocean.to-Ocean Highway and place it along the Mexican border, was the reason that Dell NJ. Potter, of Cliiton;. L. L.

When they found they could not steal the highway they quit trying, but we wish to state the fact that the Phoenix convention of the last December, adopted this route, and that Dell Potter was present at the Kansas City convention of April IS, where eight states officially adopted this route, and that Gra- nam, Gila and Greenlee sent re- presentatives to the El Pa5o con- yention, that bunch would have stolen the Ocean-to- Ocean Highway from Phoenix to Clifton, including the grade and Roosevelt Dam, for they are bve ones and ready to grab everything that shows up.

New York-Ameriea's fleet of 12S superdresdnoughts. dreadnoughts. battleshps and armored and uR- armored cruisers and lesser craft. fighting ships which have cost the Ma ton s324 .000. 900, was reviewed as it lay at anchor in the Hudson by the President of the United States, who for two hours stood on the bridge of the naval yacht Mayhower as it steam ed up and then down the column of ironcIads The review took place in the afternoon and thousands thronged the Manhattan side of the river from Seventy street to Washington Heights to see it
 The Presidents face beamed as his eye caught the trim officers and sailors who manned the rails of the warships. As the Mayfower passed each ship he lifted his hat in salute. From each ship as his yacht passed loated to him the strains of The Star Spangled Ban ner. This was followed by the thun. dering Presidential salute of twenty one guns Altogether 4,4l2 guns were fired in the Residents honor during the afternoon.
 The day, which will go down in navy annals as marking one of it's greatest demonstrations in it's history, began with a review of the fleet at an- chor by Secretary Meyer A salute by all the ships was also fired in his hon. or. Never before was so much powder used in the history of this country in a peaceful function
 In the review President Taft had as his guests on the Mavtower Mrs. Taft, Charles P. Taft, Henry W. Taft, Postmaster General Hitchcock, Attor- ney General Wiekersham, and Sena- tor Penrose of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs.
 Four torpedo boats fanked her and kept the course clear. She steamed up the river at about eight knots an hour and as each war vessel was passed the bluejackets manned the rails and the ships bands played and the Presidential salute was fired
 Hardly had one vessel finished it's salute before the next began. For more than two hours the President watched the long line of mighty war vessels pass to the rear Then the smaller vessels and auxiliaries were reached. These made less noise and smoke as they had no saluting guns. When the two tugs marking the north end of the line were reached the May flower turned southward and again steamed slowly past the vessels. There were more salutes until the Mayfower got back to her anchorage.
 The President remained on the May flower until shortly before o'clock, when he went to the Hotel Astor to attend a banquet After that Mr Taft returned to the Mayflower to pass the night
 The President again reviewed the fleet as it passed out to sea. The May flower took ID position in the yicin- ity of the Statue of Liberty and after the review returned t1 her anchorage.
