New York. June 14.-"Bridgfe"
Wehber, one of the four gamblers who
testified against Police Lieutenant
Becker and the gunner convicted of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, an
other gambler, was stabbed in the
shoulder early this morning under cir
cumstances which he seemed loath- to
explain.
He was in the St. Vincent's hospital
today suffering some pain and weak
from the loss of blood but his wound

poisoning sets in. Although branded
by some of his former associates in the
underworld as a "squealer" in the
Rosenthal case, the little 'informer'
closed up tight when detectives tried to
pry from him at the hospital this
morning the story of the attack upon
him.
AT first Weber tried to hide even
his own identity and the fact that he
had been wounded. The stabbing oc-
CURED on East Eighth street. Weber
tried to walk away on the arm of
friend. hiding the wound but on
Broadway, in front of Grace church he
sank exhausted and admitted to a po-
liceman that he had been stabbed. His
identity was discovered by Detective
Harvey, who worked on the Rosenthal
case. Weber at first did not aC
count for the stabbing at all. Then

he said small boy ran out Of a house
behind him and plunged a pen knife
into his shoulder.
Further questioning indicated that
the boy story was not to be taken
seriously. Weber finally declared II
don't know who stabbed me, and /
don't want to know"
Detectives learned that Weber had
kept a midnight engagement with Sam
Paul, another gambler, who talked Of
'croaking" RosenthaL He lately has
kept a small restaurant near Eighth
street. 1t appeared that Weber had
been attacked shortly after concluding
his engagement with Paul.
It will be eleven months next Mon
day since the murder of Herman Ros-
enthal occurred. Although Weber
was arrested in the round up of gam
blers that followed and was charged
with implication in the murder he
never was tried. With Bald" Jack
Rose and others he turned states evil
dence and helped to send former Police
Lieutenant Becker and the four gun
men to Sing Sing, where they are I'M
der death sentence. If the attack upon
Weber is an act of revenge for his
part in the Becker Rosenthal case, it
is the first instance of any attack on
the witnesses.
The police up to an early hour today
had made no arrest in connection with
the stabbins.

Six Thousand Women Waited
to Receive Body of Their Martyr

The programme arranged last night
was for the funeral procession to pass
through the main streets of London,
between Victoria station and Blooms
bury. This morning the officials Of
Scotland Yard suggested that the
women should parade through the
quieter streets. The suffragette lead
ers became highly indignant and an
nounced that they would pay no atten-
ton to the police. The possibilities OF
a collision thus seemed large
The funeral procession started from
Victoria station at 2 o'clock. The cof-
fin, covered with flowers, was in an
open hearse drawn by four black
horses.
Enormous crowds surrounded the
making progress difficult.
The parade was divided into eleven
sections. The suffragettes marched in
fours, all carrying flowers.
The coffin was in the middle Of the
procession and the clergy Of St
Georges church, Bloomsbury, marched
at the head. The rector Of the church,
DR.. Baumgarten, had issued a state
ment that he was not a sympafhizer
with the women's militant tactics.
The ceremony in st. Georges church
was most impressive. At the arrival
and departure Of the body all In the
crowd uncovered IS the coffin passed.

Washington, June 14.-Henry L.
Oxnard, the millionaire vice president
of the American Beet Sugar Company,
testified today before the senate lobby
committee that he estimated he had
spent on an average of $4,000 a year
in Washington for the last twenty
three years In behalf of the beet sugar
industry.
He declared not a cent had been
spent illegally. Each year when he
was at his home in Washington. he
declared. he came to the capitol TO
watch legislation and see his friends
among the senators.
Senator Reed demanded that the
witness give the name of senators who
were his friends.
Most all the senator's replied Mr.
Oxnard.
You need not include me in that
last" declared Senator Reed
We'll l call Senator Overman one
OF my friends and Senator Cummins
there and don't know so much
about Senator Nelson" said the wit
ness.
Senator Overman promptly asked
Mr. Oxnard if he had ever called upon
him at his Office or house or if he had
ever attended Mr.. Oxnard's entertain
ments.
Mr. Oxnard replied in the negative
The committee adjourned until Mon
day without finishing the examination

some of it may have been spent lin
substituting newspapers
When F. r. Hathaway. of the Michi-
gan Beet Sugar Company took the
stand hostilities broke out again be-
tween Senator Reed and Senator Nell
son. Reed insisted on having the
witness answer in one way and the
witness persisted in answering an
other. The Minnesota senator finally
quit his place and took a seat with the
audience
Senator Nelson returned to the
table after Senator Reed ended his
examination and took Hathaway in
hand
Hathaway read several letters that
passed between himself and w HI.
Wallace and H. A. Douglass explaining
what they understood the position of
President Wilson to be on sugar be-
fore the election.
Douglass wrote Hathaway that on
September 30, 1912, he had seen Mr..
Wilson and that he had been assured
the beet sugar interests need have no
fear.
You need not be one bit afraid of
me, sir" Douglass quoted the presi-
dent as aging.
Henry T. Oxnard, vice president of
the American Beet Sugar Company
testified as to his activities in Wash
ington. He declared he had sold most
of his stock in beet sugar companies
because of fear of free sugar. He and
his brother had owned jointly $4,000
600 fleet sugar stock in companies
and now had S1,40O, 600 invested in cane
sugar in Louisiana.

Washington, June 14.-President
Wilson still wants currency legisla ton
enacted at the present session of con-
gress and will bend every effort to ac-
cOmplish it. The doubt raised by ut
terances of senators close to the ad-
mintstration that they were opposed
to currency reform during the present
session was cleared when it became
known that the president planned to
write his currency message to congress
today. 1t will be presented about June
% or "a.
1t also was announced today that
Secretary McAdoo and Chairman Owen
and Glass of the senate and house
banking and currency committees re-
spectfvely had reached an agreement
on the main feature of the currency
bill they have been drafting for two
months.
The president. it is understood how
ever. will not go into detail in his mes
sage, preferring to. back the Owen
Glass bill as an expression of his ideas.
His argument will be along the lines
of his letter recently to Senator Till
man in which he declared that lin
loyalty to the country currency legis-
lation was necessary during the present
session of congress so that any at
tempt to create artificial disturbances

MERCURY TAKEN
BY TWO WOMEN
Attempted Suicides Occur in
Different Houses and at
Different Times of the
Day-Both in the SAM
tarium and Their Deaths
May Follow.

Bichloride Of mercury, the deadly
but slow poison which, a few weeks
ago caused numerous deaths in diff
ferent parts of the country, was used
by two women in the restricted dis
trict yesterday afternoon and last
night. Francis Willard and Stella AL
len, both respondent because of love
affairs, attempted to end their lives by
this means and there is a possibility
that they have succeeded, for 1t re-
quires days before recovery or death
can be foretold. Both were taken to
the Pensacola Santtarfum for treat
ment and there their cases will be
watched by physicians.
THE FIRST CASE.
Taking four tablets of bichloride Of
mercury with suicidal intent, Stella
Allen, young white woman, living in
the restricted district, was carried to
the Pensacola sanitarium about
o'clock yesterday afternoon. but owing
to the slow work of the deadly poison
the question as to whether the woman
will live is in doubt. She was uncOn-
scious when physicians reached her,
but later recovered. She will remain
at the hospital while physicians await
developments.
The woman swallowed four Of the tab
lets, each containing 1910 grains %
bichloride of mercury.
The cause of the woman's rash act
is said to be disappointed in love af
fairs.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
The second attempt to commit sui
eide by taking bichloride Of mercury
was made shortly before midnight last
night. when Francis Willard, a young
white woman, took two of the tablets
She was Immediately carried to the
Pensacola infTmary. A report from
the infirmary at 2 o'clock this morn
ing said that she was resting easy, but
that 1t is not yet known whether she
will recover.
The woman, who lives at No. Is West
Zarra gossa street, swallowed the tab
lets and is thought to have left her
home q few minutes afterwards. as
she was found in an alley way about
two blocks west of her home on Zarra-
gossa street, a short while after her
absence was noted
The following note was found on
dresser in the woman's room:
God in heaven, provide for my fam
lily and forgive me of my sins. No
one will ever know the cause Of this"
Acquaintances of the woman said
last night that her parents resided near
or at Pine Barren.
