Behind him In the death cells Beck
er will leave the four gunner con.
victed of the actual killing of Rosen-
thai, whose protest against the police

charged. caused him to be shot to
death.
The opinion was expressed by the
attorneys and friends of Becker that
he would never be tried again as the
~instigator of the murder of Rosenthal
and there vas also much talk that
Becker, If he eventually goes free. will
seek reinstatement on the police
force.
Becker's stay of sixteen months In

ASKING PARDON FOR
YOUNG FRIEL ALLEN
Youngest Of Clan May Be Given
His Freedom.

Richmond, Va.-A petition signed by
many prominent persons OF Carroll
county will be presented soon to Gov.
ernor Stuart asking him to pardon
seventeen-year-old Friel Allen, the
youngest member of the HillsviIle clan.
which In March of 1912 wiped out the
Carroll county circuit court.
The boy Is serving an eighteen year
term In the state ~penitentiary for the
murder of w NJ. Foster, common
wealth attorney, who was shot down
In the courthouse, At the trial of
Frtel extenuating circumstances were
shown and always there was doubt
that he actually caused the death Of
Mr.. Foster. In fact, it now Is believed
that he would have been acquitted ex-
cept that feeling at the time was at
such a high pitch. During the term
OF Governor Mann unsuccessful efforts
were made to have him commute the
death sentences of Floyd and Claude
Swanson Allen. The present COVER
MOI then refrained from any comment
on the movement and refused to take
any part In the campaign.
1t is now declared that Friel did not
actually kill the commonwealth attor-
ney. At his trial Friel testified that
he fired at only two persons-Court
Clerk Goad and Attorney Foster. The
evidence offered tended to show that
the commonwealth attorney already
had received a mortal wound when he
came within range OF Friel's revolver.
Because of this last fact the jury
found him guilty of murder In the Sec
ond degree. Friel was the most amen
able to law Of all the Aliens.

Judge Codd on Wednesday, handed

andNl eg date sasoons in DetSeit
The present liqaof. committee has
more arbitrary power, il the aldermen
choose TO use II and have an appetite
for work, than any special act OF the
state Legislature could delegate To an
excise commission said Lawson. 4,
The corporation counsel holds that
the power and authority OF the pres
ent liquor committee is ideal for the
purpose OF regulating and reducing
the number OF saloons by eliminating
the undesirables and needing volun-
tary surrenders under the law. The
| power OF the committee is almost alb
solute under its present working ar
I traHgement, yet the aldermen are con.
stantly clamoring for an excise com
mission to excuse their own shortcom-
j ings,
Lawson points out that an excise
commission would make it compare.
lively easy for the brewery and saloon
interests to control the regulation OF
the liquor traffic within the city lin
its. The commission would be him
dered In its work by statute limitations
and the personnel OF the commission
would be easily dictated by the liquor
interests unless the greatest care and
diligence were exercised by the oppos
ing element.
'If the members OF the commission
were 10 be elected at large, would II
not be a comparatively easy matter
fAx- 81 l.A fvafA rA oil a
least majority OF the members? ??
said Lawson.
There is no limit to the power OF
the present liquor committee-then
why turn the regulation of saloons
over TO q weaker commission?
The complaint against the work OF
the present committee Is that the al.
dermen did not make proper use OF
their power 10 eliminate undesirable
saloons, but overstepped their author
icy to renew licenses that under the
law should have been automatically
surrendered after May !. The mem.
bers of the committee Disseminated
unjustly in granting licenses to the
relatives OF deceased saloonkeepers,
Out OF 80 voluntary surrenders by
death. the committee took care OF IA
by substituting licenses taken away
from undesirables. The aldermen
with pull got licenses for the rela-
tives OF dead saloonkeepers In his
ward, while others not having any
particular influence, failed.
The abuse OF arbitrary power by
the present liquor committee was as
raw" as the committees absolute re-
fusal TO exercise to the fullest extent
It's authority TO weed out undesirable
saloons.
"The common council ought 70
make use OF its power the year
around" said Lawson. There IS
nothing to prevent the aldermen from
regulating saloons from day TO day,
instead OF investigating once year
TO collect Information on which they
grant or deny licenses"
