turn a verdict, the reform OF the Judi
cial system TO provide one trial and

incomes, inheritances, mineral produc-
ton and franchises, simplification of
the method of amending the constitu-
ton and provisions for the issuance of
bonds for the state highways.

clauses:
To require all nominations, state,
county district and city, to be made at
direct primaries
To forbid contract labor in penal in
stitutions
To abolish capital punishment.
To give authority for minimum
wages and limitation Of hours of Labor.
TO make eight hours work day on

pational disease"

BECKER GIVES HIS STORY
TESTIMONY CONVICTED POLICE.
MAN WOULD HAVE GIVEN.
Declares Murder Followed Break Be-

Now Dead.

New York. Oct. 29.-The story which
Charles Becker, the former police
lieutenant convicted of the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, says he wanted to
tell on the stand at his trial. was re-
lated in detail by Becker from his
cell in the Tombs. Had he been al
lowed to tell this story, he claims,
the verdict of the jury would have
been different.
Becker talked for two hours. He
denied that Bald Jack" Rose, who
was tie states chief witness, was
his graft collector" declaring Rose
was his stool pigeon" who furnished
evidence on which he made scores of
raids. He gave an account of his
finances in an effort, he said. to show
that he had not boarded gamblers
tribute.
Becker said Rose never asked him
for money for his services. Eventu-
ally he learned why, when Rose told
into gambling partnership, Rose re-
minding the lieutenant of the gratuit-
GUS services he had given, asked i'm.
munity from raids.
Il said / would not molest the place
any more than ! would any other
gambling house." said Becker. Il said
would not make special effort to
get evidence against Rosenthal unless
specifically directed"
Later. Becker continued, Rose told
him that Rosenthal had broken faith
with him and had won $4,000 from
him at gambling. Then complaints
against the resort began to reach Com
missioner Waldo.
Il am sure these complaints were
written by Rose, or inspired by him. :
said Becker, and he declared that this
break between the partners was the
beginning of Roses enmity against
Rosenthal-enmity which led to Ros
enthals determination to 'squeal,
and later to a gamblers plot. the out
