BECkER'S TRIAL ON TODAY
lice Lieutenant Is Expected to Re- veal Secrets of Crime World.

New York, Sept. 12.-Secrets of the underworld are expected to be re- vealed with a wealth of sensational detail in the trial of Police Lieuten- ant Charles A. Becker, charged with instigating the murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal, which was sched. uled to begin before Justice Golf in an extraordinary session of the criminal branch of the supreme court here to- day.
 This trial, it is said, will reveal se- crets of the world of crime which nev- CT before have been told and will pro- vide the most sensational develop ments that ever have come out of an American courtroom. Becker, it has been semi-officially stated, will plead not guilty to any connection with Ro senthals tragic death in front of the Hotel Metropole, as well as to any complicity in the collection of police tribute for protected crime, but Dis trict Attorney Whitman is said to be confident that he has sufficient evi dence to make out a clear case against the officer.
 Becker's chief attorney, John w. Mcintyre, is said to have formulated strong defense, and it is declared in police circles that a big part of the more than s100,000 graft Becker is said to have accumulated in his few months service as the head of the so- called "strong-arm squad" has been spent to save him from the chair or long prison term.
 The chief witness against Becker is expected to be Billiard Ball Jack" Rose, a member of the gambling clique, who made long confession in which he Is understood to have placed the chief responsibility for Rosen- thal's murder on Becker and to have declared that he acted as Becker's agent in collecting blackmail from gambling houses in return for police protection.

STATEWIDE BILL
 MOST UNCERTAIN

Little Rock, Sept 12. At the present rate it will be another ten days before the complete vote of the state is known on account of the slow count and complica- ted ticket. It will be several days yet before the fate of sey- eral of the measures upon which the people voted is known defi- uitely.
 That the T J bill is defeated and that the S h hort session amendment initiated by Atty Gen. Norwood was adopted is certain, both facts having an in, teresting bearing upon the last Legislature. The T J bill was passed at the extraordinary ses / sion last year, and referred to the people under the 1 & R amendment. The Legislature was in session 126 days at cost of S200,000, causing so much dis satisfaction that the short session amendment was offered as a re- buke.
 The prospects are very bright for the bond amendment, which continues to lead, although the majority is not large. The recall, text book bill, election bill, and the grand father clause appear to have been defeated.
 It is the state. wide bill that is the most uncertain, as both sides continue to claim it. Undoubted- ly there will be number of sur prises when the returns are all in. The liquor men claim 20 1000 majority, but the Prohibition forces are still confident they will win by small majority.

CHALICE OF PURE GOLD.
Gift to St. Mary's Seminary, Balti-
more. Valued at $4,000.

BALTIMORE, December 3O.-In appre-
citation of the pleasant days he spent as
a student within its walls, Rev. James B.
Troy, pastor of st. vincent's Catholic
Church, Boston, has presented to st.
NIary's Seminary, North Paca street. a
beautiful chalice of pure gold, set with
diamonds, emeralds, rubies and other pre-
cious stones.
The gift was received several weeks ago
by DR.. Z. r. Dyer. president of the in
stitution. and is said to be the most
valuable chalice in the archdiocese of
Baltimore. On account of its history and
association. it's value to st. Mary's is
above price. but it has been valued by a
local jeweler at $4,000.
While the chalice Is given to the semi
nary itself. it is understood to be equally
a token of honor to Father Dyer as the
American head of the Sulpician order.
The clalice first made its appearance in
America in 1898 at the Chicago EXPOSE
ton. 1t was shown there by firm of
artificers in church requisites in Cologne.
Germany. At that time 1t was a plain
service of pure gold without the stones
which now add to its beauty and value.
Father Troy took the chalice to the
jeweler and had the stones mounted in
the sides. The patten or top of the chalice
he left in it's original condition, lump
of gold weighing a pound. One OF the
most precious of the jewels. and the one
that has attracted the most attention, is
a large, deep-greeh emerald valued at
5000.
After the chalice was completed Father
Troy decided to present 1t to st. Mary 8
Seminary, from which he was ordained in
1879. The presentation was witnessed by
a number of clergymen, all devoted
friends Of Father Dyer.

Injunction Against Institution,

The operation and maintenance of the
House of Mercy at Klingle road and
Rosemont avenue. near the Zoo, is he'd
by the Court of Appeals not to be a nui-
sance. The court, accordingly, in an
opinion by Justice Robb. upholds the
ruling of Chief Justice Clabaugh Of the
District Supreme Court that the appli-
cation Of DR.. Cecil French for an in
junction against the continuance Of the
institution near his home should be de-
MED.
The appellate court holds there exists
no ground for complaint, and finds that
the evidence offered by the Association
for Works of Mercy sustains It's answer
that it conducts the institution with the
utmost care and with due regard to the
comfort and welfare of those living in
the neighborhoOd."
DIR. French complained Of the noises
emanating from the institution, and
charged that some OF the female inmates
attempted to fiirt with his young son.

he was secure after the jacket was adj
justed and he was placed in a ward with
eighty other patients. SimmS decided that
he would get out of the jacket. He fought
and. tugged and succeeded in breaking
the harness to ribbons. AS he had about
finished the operation one of the keep
ers discovered him and ran toward him.
A terrific blow in the face felled the keep

hurried to the scene Of battle. They were
bowled over like tenpins by well directed
blows.
On one of the keepers was a bunch OF
keys which opened all Of the doors Of the
ward. Simms, without waiting to dress
himself, seized the keys and opened the
door leading to the yard in the back. A
protracted chase followed. Simms was
exhausted after his three-mile run and
submitted without much trouble. An am
bulance took him to the hospital and he
was again placed in a Jacket and put un-
der close guard.

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
Justice Shepard Rules Against Com.

istence of. a necessity for the opening or
extending. Of alleys. before condemna-
ton jury is sworn to condemn the land.
was dismissed today by the District Court
OF Appeals in an opinion by Chief Justice
Shepard.
The court holds that the ruling is not
final decision. AS the situation in
which the Commissioners find themselves
in this particular case is of their own
creation. there is nothing from which
they can appeal.
After the court had ruled on the OBJ
legation to show necessity the Commits
sioners declined to offer such proof and
the case was dismissed by. Justice Bar
nard. The upper court holds the action
of the Commissioners to have been prac-
tically non-suit by them.

VINELAND, n. j.. December 30
When Benjamin Huston returned to his
home on the outskirts of this place early
yesterday morning he found a strange
dog on guard. Every attempt to enter
the house was checked by the dog, which
snapped at him and headed him off, even
when he endeavored to get in by the rear
door. Huston aroused some Of his neigh

returned to the house and killed the dog.
which showed every sign Of rabies. Then
he learned that his wife had been kept
a terrified prisoner in the house all day.
When she attempted to go out in the
morning the dog tried to bite her, and SO
1t was all day.
There is no telephone in the house and
no neighbor within hailing distance, so
that the terrified woman passed hours
alone till her husband returned.
