WOMEN FAINT AND
men CRY FOR AIR IN
CRUSH AT CHICAGO

Chicago, May 13.-The return of the
body of Samuel Meisenberg the Chi
cago boy who was among the first of
the American marines to lose his life
in the occupation of Vera Cruz, was
marked by panic in the City hall,
where the body lay in state for three
hours today. So great was the crush
to view the catafalque in the rotunda
of the municipal building that scores
of women tainted, while men caught
in the smothering press cried for air.
Only the names of IL women who sue
cumbed were obtained by the police
but among these was Mrs. Morris Mel
senberg mother of the dead hero.
Cool headed elevator men did much
to avert disaster They opened the
doors of their cages and carried those
nearest them to upper floors. Finally
Police Lieutenant James Conroy sent
in a riot call and the reserves sue
ceeded in restoring order. The excite
nent and grief of the day proved too
much for Mrs. Meisenberg. The first
incident to affect here occurred at the
railroad station as the procession of
soldiers, police and civilians was form
ing to escort the body to the City hall
after its arrival from New York.
With her husband and her surviv-
ing sons and daughters, she was about
to enter a limousine when a street
vender approached and, ignorant of
her identity, cried: Buy post card
picture of Sammy Meisenberg, the
hero of Vera Cruz
The mother collapsed on the Shout
der of her son Meyer and burst into
tears but did not faint Then came
the crush in the City hall.
The funeral will be held with full
Jewish rites tomorrow, and an i'm
mense procession of soldiers, sailors,
national guardsmen. veterans of the
Civil and Spanish Wars and civic or
CARNATIONS will escort the cortege to
the synagogue.

Unfaltering Answers

Inc paid neaQe0 1n1ormer quietly
and unfalteringly answered every
question asked him by Martin T.
Manton, chief of Becker's counsel.
Even when Manton shouted accusa-
tions of murder at Rose and tried to
make him admit that he had made
his living by committing petty lar
cenies and by selling opium to the
slaves of the habit of. New York S
Chinatown, the former gambler re-
manned unperturbed. s. Roses express
sion never changed during all the
grilling. His voice was neither raised
nor lowered at any time. He reiterat-
ed his story of underworld intrigue
and murder with a calm and mat
ter-of-fact air. He showed no fear,
no emotion and no remorse, except on
one occasion. Then he said his con-
science pricked him when he told over
how he had plotted to have Herman
Rosenthal murdered.
Minor Discrepancies
Manton managed to get Rose to adj
NIT that there were minor discrep-
ancies between the testimony he Of
fered at the first trial and that he
gave on direct examination yester-
day. Rose said his testimony yester-
day was more complete in places than
his former testimony. At the same
time, he said, he told some things at
the first trial which he did not men
ton at this one.
Il know so much about it, and have
talked so much about it," said Rose,
,e, 60.
some things out now and then.
In reply to questions Rose came
down to the time he was removed from
the Tombs prison. after he surren-
dered. to the West Side prison. There,
he said, he was permitted to talk to
Weber and WALTON and later on with
Sam Schepps, whenever he felt so
disposed. He told of many confer
ences he had with the district attor-
ney. He described Schepps as his
lobby cow" A lobby gov is in the
language of the East Side, as he de-
scribed it "a pail and friend willing
to do almost anything he is told"
Letter Written by Witness
Manton read to the jury letter
written by Rose to Schepps while the
latter was in hiding at Hot Springs,
Ark. In this letter Rose said Becker
had thrown him down like dog" and
that the district attorney had promis-
ed immunity to him (Rose). Schepps,
Webber and WALTON. He then asked
Schepps. whom he addressed as Dear
old paf' to return to New York and
surrender Manton then picked up
what appeared to be an affidavit from
Jack Sullivan. known as King of the
newsboys." Looking at this paper, he
asked Rose whether he said to Sui
Ivan while both of them were in the
West Side prison, the district attor-
ney wants Becker, and I am going to
deliver him. preservation is the
first law of nature. and If the dis
trict attorney wants Becker he can
have him."

Europe with what he described as an
unbeatable chess automaton in the like

ceal man in the chest on which the

the contrivance that for long time
everybody was deceived. Napoleon
played chess with the pseudo-automa-

first game and in the second deliberate

were replaced each time. but on the EN-.

Why AUTOS TURN TURTLE

tie nosadays,i killias aad MAIN
ing many of the occupants, there
has been much thought on the
matter by which shch accidents
will be less frequent. 1t has
been said appareatist with good
logic. that the turnihg over Of
automobiles lie not caused by bad
roads or fast driving; it is be.
cause the driver looses mas head
and consequently control of the
machine. The driver ola auto.
mobile when in danger of turn
ling turtle feels the wheels skid
ding into the ditch aud iptultiv-
ely turns the front wheels to the
center of the road. This has
tendency to turn the machine at
right angles to the direction of
the momentum and turning over
as inevitable, If the machine is
running ar brisk speed. ln-
stead of doing this thing, the old
and experienced driver will turn
the front WHEELS to the bottom of
the ditch when the rear wheels
are felt skidding: he remains
that way until he has the ma
chine under control. The prin-
cipal of the rule is that as long
as the wheels are kept in line of
momentum the car cannot turn
over but as soon as the machine
is headed across the line of mo-
zion then it must roll, if the rate
of speed attained is sufficiently
great.
