BECKER'S LAWYERS HAVE % REASONS
 READY FOR APPEAL

New York, Nov. 29.-Twenty-five req sons why former Police Lieut. Charles Becker should not be executed for the murder of Herman RosenthaI, the gambler, will be presented next week to the state court of appeals. Becker is now in Sing Sing prison under sen- tence of death. His attorneys said to- day that the court probably would de- vote four Or five days to hearing ar guments on his appeal from convic- ton.
 Becker, says the appellants brief. -9is the victim of the greatest conspir- acy of the age. He was not given chance for his life. The effect of the ruling of the court made the trial 
 One of the principal arguments in Becker'e behalf will be that Sam Schepps, the corroborative witness for the state was an accomplice. His at torneys claim that the trial was rush ed through and that Becker was con- victed by public opinion.

MESSRS. COOPER AND VINCENT 60
 OFF TAX BOARD

4-t
 Andrew M. Cooper and Samuel E. Vincent decline to serve longer as members of the board of apportion- nnent in Bridgeport The term of MT Cooper, who is president of the board, will expire on January 1, 1914. Mayor Wilson wanted MT Cooper to accept a, reappoin tnlent. It is also said that the mayor asked MT. Vincent to recon stder his resignation and remain as a member of. the board MT Vincent's term does not expire until January l. 1916.
 Mir Vincent, however. in his letter of resignation dated yesterday. says that sfe finds it iEupossfb1e to give the at tention to the work of the board of ap- portfonment which he feels it requires
 Mir Cooper after expressing re1uc- tance to- decline a reappointment says in his letter.
 s'I have added so much to my la:bors during the last few years, that 1t has become necessary to cut down as much. as possible. I was much pleased when I learned of the steps you had taken toward an investigation of the com mission form of government. You, like most Of your predecessors and a great many of the common council, with whom have di9csused the matter, realize how unbusinessltke our present plan is-
 '.It Is not only unfair to the city but to the men who serve under it. Take for instance the common council; a nnan goes into that body for two years, and as a rule he spends one year learning the duties of one com 1nittee and the following year is shift rsd to another. On some of the most important committees, we (the mem bers of the board of apporttonment) have never seen the same chairman the second time and in most cases the requdsftions for the years budget has been made up by a man who had lost interest in the work because of his get ting off the committee for one reason or another. A
 If we cannot have a commission form of government, I hope we can at least have a. reduction of the number in the common council from A to 12, aeIecting three members each year for a four-year term This would give the city the benefit of the experience which the members of that body should have"
 Other members of the board of ap- portionanent whose terms expire on January 1 are: Bradford D. Pierce, Jr., Angus H. Mackenzie and Charles H. Armstrong. Mayor Wilson will have five instead of four appointments to make to this board.

 MORGAN'S ESTATE

New Haven, Nov. 29-A decision of Judge Gager in the superior court to- day sustaining a demurrer filed lby counsel for Clarence l.. Barber, in ef- feet holds that the suit of MT. Barber originally brought against J. Pierpont Morgan is valid against the estate Of MT. Morgan. The case is one which has been in litigation several years and involves about $25O, GOO. It centered about company formed to do business in Mexico and in which both MT. Morgan and MT. Barber were interested. The suit was Drought in Connecticut courts because the corporation had a charter from the general assembly.

COMPEN NSATI0N
 LAW FORMS
 ARE SHIPPED State Board Sends Samples to Every City for
 Employers MANUFACTURERS GAN DUPLICATE THEM Forms Are Also Provided Which Must Be Filled
 Out By Workmen

Hartford. Nov. 29-Shipment is be- ing made today by the compensation commissioners to all towns of the state of the regular forms to be used in complying with the provisions of the workmen's compensation act. The most important of these forms for immediate purposes are Nos. and $, which will be widely used by those employers who wish to secure exemp- ton from parts of the act which IS the compensation feature.
 Form No 1 is to be served by the employed upon the commissioners of the district in which the employment is carried on and No 5 is to be served by the employer upon his individual employees It is not expected to fur- aish to large employers blanks for each employe but many forms can be copied
 From the information received by 4he commissioners it is their Judg- ment that com paratively few em- pIoyers of five 'or more persons will take this action as they arc thereby thrown under Part A of the act which depr1ves them of the three defenSes Of co1tributory negligence, negligence of fe1Iow servant and assumed risk
 But practically all employers of less than five will probably sooner or later embrace this opportunity as in case they are sued for damages they can plead the old defenses as in the past.
 There are also forms for the en- pIoye which regulate their action un- der, the act Form 16 is that upon which the employer makes weekly re- port of accidents and claims to the commfssfoner. In the case of those who are under Part B of the act this zermerly made-to the faekoEss inspec-i 
 The compensation commissioners say they are not finding their new 5ohs any sinecure. In addition to the. regular forms prescribed by the act, they have found it necessary to pre- pare nearly as many more for use in. Rscertaining the solvency and financial ability Of those employers who may elect to carry their own insurance un- der section 30 of Part B of the act They are frank to state that they had hoped against hope that the attorney general might be able to render an opinion that this duty. devoIved upon the insurance commissioner.
 Said one of the commissioner to- day:
 .aThe mere skeleton presented by these 80 forms might seem at first blush to represent a very simple task in preparation As a matter of fact it is impossible to prepare forms to cover the various aspects of the .ad- rninistrat1on of an act of this kind without burning a great deal of mid night oil over the meaning of the act itself
 Every form touches the statute in various places and each point of con tact is apt to be related to some other features Of the act which in turn may open ID puzzllng questions of inter prefation and constructfoI Either in committee Of the whole or by sub committee the commissioners have been in session nearly every day since taking office and on numerous even. irgs as we1l.''

 SCORE BEGINNING
 OF SECOND PERIOD

New York, Nov 29-The lineup Of outstanding features which aftended the staging of the Arny-Na;vy football game in New York city today for the first time were epitomized as follows: Weather-Rain forecast officially Some rain fell during the night but not enough to affect the. field which was protected with a straw covering and only a, downpour at the last n1o- ment could make playing conditions altogether intolerable.
 The scene-The New York National League stadium on the meadow of the Polo Grounds near the upper ex- tremity of Manhattan Island where the modern horseshoe grandstand of steel and concrete and the ordinary stands almost completely enclosing the gridiron.
 The crowds-Provision made for 42.- 900 spectators with nearly every tick ct sold, the largest crowd that ever witnessed an Army-Navy game Songs and cheers-A number of new songs set to popular refrains and sev- eral original service yel1s were pre- pared for use for the first time today to the accompaniment. of the rival bands. The navy musicians had the honor of making the first entrance to the grounds through their being victors in the last game. They af- ford gorgeous picture in their blue coats with red lined capes with eight companies of cadets arranged accord ing to their size to follow with their many flags.
 The West Point corps of about 600 in gray uniforms was to follow with a parade Of the two corps around the field.

BRITISH FLEET
 OFFER TO WORK
 WITH U. s. SHIPS

Washington, Nov. 29.-Although Rear Admiral Craddock. commanding the British ships in Mexican waters. ranI1s Rear Admiral Fletcher by virtue of seniority, the British commando has notified the American admiral that hs wishes to subordinate himself In CO., operating with the United States forces.
 While developments in the Mexican situation seemed to be moving under the surface there appeared to be no change in the diplomatic situation and no indication that the American gov ernment was deviatins from its atfI- tude of careful watching and patient waiting for the elimination of Huerta-
 Rear Admiral Craddock has been ad- vised by Rear Admiral Fletcher to thl extent of plans prepared by the Amer ican commander to safefuard Britis1 as well as American interests at Tam pico and Tuxpam- The action Of the British admiral tn calling away from Tampico Is taken as evidence that hf was satisfied with the adequacy of those plans.
 The return of the battleship New Hampshire from the northern oil heldg was interpreted to indicate an a-bate~ ment of the tension in the latter quarr ters for the present.
