BECKER'S FATE IN
 HANDS OF JURY Looks Jurors Squarely i'll The Eye as They
 File Out.
HIS NERVE UNSHAKEN
The Only Emotion He Displayed Was When His Counsel Made Plea
 For Wife and Family.

New York, Oct 23.--At the close of a dramatic court .session today during which counsel for the defense and tic prosecution reviewed the evidence fer and against Police Lieutenant Charles A. Becker, the accused off cer stood up, thrust. his hands into his trousers pockets and unflinching- ly looked the members of the jury squarely in the eye as they filed out.
 Whether the jury finds him inno- cent or guilty, the display of unshak- en nerve will remain the most re- markable incident of the murder trial which has been replete with sensa- tional thrills. The attorneys on both sides occu- pied all of the time allotted for their summing up. Attorney John s. Me- Intyre, for Becker, addressed the court and jury from 10 a. m to ? D. m. Assistant District Attorney Moss closed for the state and spoke from 2:30 until 7:30 D. m. It was a desperate battle of logic and rhetoric, the victor of which will not be known until the jury renders it's verdict. When MT. Moss conclud- cu, JuoIlCC OOl Ol uC1 Cu dIl duJOul Il ment and announced that he would charge the jury tomorrow morning at 10:30. Many who have followed the evidence closely predict verdict within few hours after the case is given into the hands of the jury.
 On the last opportunity to plea for his client. MT. Mcintyre charged that the District Attorney had not proved the charge of murder against Becker and made an eloquent appeal to the jury not to believe the testi- mony of Rose. Webber, Vallon and Schepps who he described as grovel- ing, unbelievable creatures.
 The only time Becker has shown any sign of emotion was when his chief counsel, nearing the close oi his address, described the horrors oi the penalty for murder and pleaded with the jury to return the defendant to his wife and family. For a mo- ment Becker's huge hulk shook with emotion as he turned and glanced in the direction of his wife. And it could be plainly seen that his eyes were moist Mrs. Becker, too was crying as were majority of the spectators.
 If Attorney Mcintyre held the at. tention of the jury and his other au, ditors, Assistant District Attorney Moss can be said to have held then spellbound

TURKS RETREAT
 BEFORE BULCARS Latter Advancing Steadily Have Captured Post
 After Post.
',0o0 REPORTED DEAD
Bloody Battle Still Rages and Turks Thought to Re Fleeing to
 idriaMop!e.

London, Oct 23.-Eriving the Turks before them steadily as they conquer ed one post alter another tonight's dispatches indicate that the Bulgarians by advancing in three divisions have forced back the Sultan's troops to the north and south of Kirk-Kilisseh, which at last report has not actually fallen but which is hemmed in in so effective way that it's importance as the great obstacle between the armies of the north and Constantnople has been nullified
 The battle is still raging tonight. How many have been killed is mat ter of conjecture but no report from whatever source places the casualties below 1000 dead. The encounter has been the most sang uinary, since the Kusso-J Japanese war.
 That the Turks are fleeing precipi- tately rather than fighting on to the death and ricking annihilation as they have done in past wars, so as to reach the gate of Adrianople before the allies attack the Turkish strong hold, is the opinion of military critics here. At this point it's defense can delay the hattie of Adrianople, for which the Turks are making most ela- borate preparations.
 The most noteworthy Bulgarian vic- tories of today was the capture of Arda, situated to the west of the Turk ish stronghold. At that point the Turks fled in disorder after sharp engagement, leaving 200 dead and dy- ing on the field.
 Dispatches telling of barbarous mas sacres by fanatical bands of Turks in the extreme outer districts con tinue to reach London news agencies. These bands are killing indiscrimin- | ately in the belief that they are again 1 fighting holy war. @
 The Servian forces are reported from Sofia as still fighting before Uskub. Another and q smaller force operating to the southwestward have taken several small towns in southern Albania, the defeated Greeks also flee- ing to the town of Servia. These re- ports indicate that the fSeryian and Greek forces will meet within a few days.

 vester Trust.
R E V K A LED IN SUIT
Litigation Brought in Federal Court to EissOl.c International liar
 ,eSter Company.

New York, Oct. 23.-J P. Morgan received the tidy sum of $l3, 300 .00O for underwriting the Harvester trust When it was organized in 1902 with a capital of $l20,300, 900.
 This fact was brought out today at the first session of the hearing begun here to develop testimony for the government suit to dissolve the Harvester trust, otherwise the ln- tern1tional Harvester Company
 The sui was instituted in the fed eral district court of Minnesota last April at the direction of Pres dent Taft.
 Aside from the revelations that J. P. Morgan and Company received stock of the corporations valued at $13 100000 for their underwriting services and that George w. Perkins, then a partner in the Morgan firm was the active agent in the transac- tion, shows nothing of importance was developed.
