SECOND BECKER
TRIAL READY TO
Start TOMORROW
Seventy Witnesses Will Be Called by
States Attorney Charles H.
Whitman.

New York, May 4.---For the sec
ond trial of Charles Becker, former
Police Lieutenant, on a charge Of
having instigated the murder Of
Herman Rosenthal, District Attor-
ney Charles II. Whitman will call
10 witnesses. The trial will begin
Wednesday. Many new faces, it is
said Will be seen in the witness
chair, and several witnesses promi-
nent in the first trial will not ap-
pear.
As at the first trial, the States
case will be made around the story
Of Jack Rose which will be cor.
roborated by "Bridgie" Weber and
Harry Vallon. The testimony Of
Sam Sehepps, who also appeared in
the first trial, has been rendered
valueless by ruling of the Court
of Appeals, which in granting
Becker n new trial, discredfted
Schepps' testimony.
One sensational feature of the
| first Becker trial, too, will be miss
ing The death in the electric chair
at Sing Sing prison Easter Monday
of the four gunmen convicted of the
actual murder Of Rosenthal removed
them from the scene and prevented
a repetition of the drama enacted
when they were led into the court
room to be identified by witnesses
/ as the murderers.
/ Attorney Martin T. Manton, for
tho defense, persists in a policy of
silence as to his plans. 1t is said,
however that Becker is anxious 20
take the stand in his own behalf,
and that Manton may permit him
to do So
1t is expected that several days
will be occupied in selecting a Jury.
The trial probably will occupy three
weeks or a month.

the System" becomes afraid, and it
sprinkles the surplus with charity"
but never does it fertilize the land and
never does it try to make it strong.
Instead the system" resorts to
charity only when it grows too much
afraid. Until it is thoroughly fear
stricken that it may be harmed, it
uses contemptuous methods toward
the surplus.
In Sacramento the System" that
made the surplus treated the surplus
like a nest of rats that should be
drowned, and ordered the hose to be
turned upon foOt-sore, weary men
who asked only the right to work and
live.
And in New York city, where the
natives boast of their progression
and contend that there is no. other
place that equals their town, men
were arrested who had sought shelter
in an edifice erected for worship of
the God who had given them life.
And in Chicago, when the surplus
marched down toward the City Hall
where is administered the laws made
alike for the system" and the sur
plus, mounted police rode into their
ranks and forced them back.
But ever in that soil, unfertilized,
there grows yellow flower, hardy,
almost deathless, growing regardless
of the impoverished condition of the
soil, flower whose yellow is the yell
low of gold, and it is the emblem of

GM6IEm VT WEN = SOOhHNE
BY JANE whitaker
Did you ever walk along railroad
track where the ground beside the
roadbed was unfertilized, useless be-
cause it was merely an adjunct to the
land upon which railroad magnates
had placed ties and rails in the in
terest of commercial wealth, surplus
land that was made surplus by the
very railroad magnates themselves,
and yet they dared not destroy be-
cause its destruction would weaken
their roadbed? r.'
And have you ever discovered on
that unfertilized, cinder-scorched
strip of land a yellow flower, hardy,
almost deathIess; growing regardless
of the impoverished condition of the
soil, fed only by the mamma tossed to
it from the clouds?
And have you ever thought, as you
looked at the flower, the dandelion,
the lowliest of all flowers, that its
yellowness so like gold was an en-
blem of natures courage?
l have often thought of that, and
sometimes have questioned why the
dandelion was so persistent, so deter
mined to grow? Sometimes l have
marvelled that it did not; grow dis
couraged and shriEel UP and die?
And have never answered the
question, but always l have loved the
dandeion because it is the emblem
of natures courage.
West in Sacramento, East in New
York and right here in Chicago, is
barren land, unfertilized, impover-
ished. 1t is the surplus of labor,
made the surplus by the System"
which has picked the cream of labor
for it's roadbed and yet dare not en-
tirely destroy the surplus lest it's de-
struction should weaken the cream of
labor that is now utilized by the "sys-
tenn"

But it has not received the supper
and recognition from the State tEat
| it should, the support and recogni-
ton that it deserves.
In the United States the distribu-
ton is even more disparaging. IT,
mining industry contributes an !
makes available yearly to our wealth
products abor3 $4,000 for each man
employed, and this under conditions
too often unfavorable to both health
and safety. Meanwhile no one an
reciates and approves as good n
tional investment more readily than
the miner the expenditure in behalf CT
about s2.4o per employee or g.
cents per capita of the total populf
ton of this country, employees OF
which great industry, laboring under
the healthiest and safest of condi-
tions, contribute each yearly about
$500 to the national wealth.
In a general movement for the
hetterment of these conditions, witt
4 view to greater safety and to gen
eral improvements in the mining in
dustry, it is endeavored to interest
tie mine owners in making provisions
for the beginning Of in provements,
with view to increa sing safety,
improving health conditions and re-
iucing waste, as the practicability of
such improvements may be demon
etrated 1t is desired that the miners
and mine owners cooperate in max
ing and enforcing such rules and
regulations as will prove helpful in
carrying out the process mentioned,
especially as will best safeguard the
lives of our men who work under
ground, where a single mistake may
cost many lives. Record shows that
every days progress in mining in
wolves 10 deaths and nearly so seri-
GUS accidents among men who con-
tribute to our comfort and to our
national prosperity by their work
underground.
To remedy this bad situation in min
ing, the national government has ex-
pended less than one cent per capita
as compared with agriculture, in
which we have the healthiest of
conditions and for which we are ex-
pending about $50 cents per capita.
The expenditure of a few cents per
capita by the State toward the de-
velopment of the mining industry
would mean an addition of thousands
of dollars per capita in the metal pro-
duction of the State The first step
in such progress is the proper de-
velopment of a State Bureau of

Confirms Biblical Account.

The missing half Of a tablet of
Nippur describing the fall of man and
the food has been discovered in the
university museum of the University
of Pennsylvania. Some weeks ago
the translation of the first half of the
tablet by Doctor Langdon, the reader
in Assyriology at Oxford, was an
nounced. 1t confirmed in surprising
detail the biblical account of the fall
and the flood, but was incomplete.
A search was at once made and
copy of the inscription on the sec
ond half has been sent to Doctor
Langdon for translation. The tablet
is a pre-Semitic account of these oc-
currences, and comes from the early
library of Nippur, which was de-
stroyed during the invasion of Baby
Ion by the Elamites, in the time of
Abraham. Adams eating of the fruit
is described by Doctor Langdon. 1t
is hoped that Ewes part in the fall
will be told in the newly discovered
fragment.

A mad world will perhaps be the
final outcome if the recent statistics
on lunacy in England continue at the
present rate of increase. One person
in every 266 in England and Wales is
officially declared to be insane by the
report of the commissioners in lunacy
issued recently. These figures show
that the total number of insane people
has increased by 1850 as compared
with that of the previous year. The
figures show the interesting facts that
both the well to do and the criminal
classes are becoming saner. There are
Is fewer criminal lunatics, while pau
per lunatics have increased by 1889.
This would show that 112 fewer per
sons of the better-off classes have been
certified as mentally deficient. In Do
years, viz, from 1859 to 1914, the num-
Der of persons known to be under care
has increased from 36,762 to 140,237,

Artesian Wells in Australia.

In the rolling downs country of
western Queensland the artesian sup
ply of water has, when tapped, rem
dered it possible to carry on industries
dependent on water supply. Human
ingenuity and research have supplied
from natures subterranean reser-
voirs an unfailing supply of water,
both for drinking and irrigation. At
the end of the year 1912 there were
1879 artesian bores in Queensland.
The deepest bore is situated at Bime-
rah, in the central west. This bore
has a depth of 1904 feet. The shallow
est bore is at Manfred Downs, also
in the central west, which yields a
supply of 1000 gallons per day at a
depth of 1OS feet. The Charlevtlle
bore has a depth of 1871 feet and the
largest flow in the state, 100000 gal
Ions per day. The estimated aggre-
gate daily flow from all bores in
Queensland is 529, S17 800 gallons. To
obtain this supply necessitated 3S4.68
miles in depth of boring. In some of
these bores the water has high tenn
perature, and requires cooling before
being used for domestic purposes.
