BECKER WILL NOT
TESTIFY; DEFENSE
BEGINS EVIDENCE

NEW YORK. May 19.-Atty Martin
T. MantOn. chief counsel for the de-
dense. announced today that ex-Lieut.
Charles Becker would not take the
witness stand in his second trial for
the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
This decision is said 10 have been
reached over the protest Of Becker
and his wife.
After making this announcement to-
day Atty. Manton moved to dismiss
the indictment against his client on
the ground that no evidence corrob-
atory of the stories told by Bald
Jack" Rose, Bridge" Weber and
Harry NallOn had been presented by
the state. Justice Seabury denied
the motion
Manton then made his opening ad-
dress to the jury, in which he asserted
that the evidence presented by the
state had not weight enough to con-
Wet Becker.
Under our system Of Jurisprudence
il is necessary for the state to offer
positive proof of the guilt Of the de-
fendant." said Mr.. Manton. II believe
that the evidence so far has not been
sufficient to establish the guilt of the
defendant. Charles Becker.
I'VE will admit that Rose was an
intimate friend of Becker, that he was
stool pigeon and that Becker used

against gambling houses.
Murdered IN Gamblers Fight.
"Rosenthal was murdered in a
gamblers fight. We will show il was
planned and carried out by Rose and
that Becker had nothing TO do with
the murder"
According TO Manton Rose then
went TO the home of Lefty Louie"
Rosenberg in the Bronx and repre-
sented that Becker wanted the use Of
gunmen TO "croak" a man.
Rose was dOuble-crOssing these
men as he has crossed every one since
the day of his birth" declared the
attorney for the defense.
Manton said that Becker would be
able 10 prove an alibi on the night OF
the murder
Jacob \. Reich. alias Jack Sulli-
van. king Of the newsboys". was the
first witness called for the defense.
He gave practically the same testi-
mony he gave at Becker's first trial
sullivan said he was with Becker
on the night Rosenthal was killed, and
gave an account of their wherea bouts.

litia, admitted on the stand that men
under his command looted the colony
while il was on fire.
Upton Sinclair. New York social
ist. today replied 10 Gov f. NJ. Am
mons who branded the novelist as a
IA -sifier and a meddler. because of tn e
telegram Sinclair sent TO the pres =
dent Saturday.
Sinclair in a message sent early to-
day To Pres. Wilson. charged that Gov.
Ammons was endeavoring to deceive
tho president and the public in regard
10 the Colorado situation.
The message follows: In an inter
view tonight Gov. Ammons brands
me as a prevaricatOr for my state
ment To YOU that a commission OF me-
diation was not provided. He now
admits that the word mediation does
not appear. but insists that the phrase
TO assist in settling the srike' is equiv
allen
IT have reread the resolution and
amendment No such phrase occurs.
I urgently request you 10 get the fun
text OF this resolution and realize what
il means that the governor of this
state is wilfully and deliberately en-
deavOring 10 deceive YOU and the pIb-
lie in this crisis.
The telegram which was sent by
Sinclair Saturday was authorized by
judge Ben R. Lindsey and other noted
Derver citizens al meeting here. but
the governor only criticised the novel
ist.

of Mexicans who hold him responsible
for the murder OF relatives or friends
at the capital Urrutia came here
from Mexico City TO escape execution
by Huerta, who has turned against
him. and yesterday afternoon was
mobbed by Mexicans who shrieked for
his death.
ton was becoming too serious TO per-
NIT Urrutias remaining ashore and
ordered him taken under guard TO the
Ypiranga, the ship whose arrival here
with a cargo Of ammunition caused
the seizure of Vera Cruz.
IL was no idle fear that sent Ur-
rutia to a refuge under the German
flag He undoubtedly would have
been assassinated if there had been
a moments relaxation in the military
precautions that Gen. Funston took as
soon as he learned that the exzmin-
ister had arrived. The town contains
many men who blame the surgeon
politician for the deaths Of brothers
and fathers in Mexico City.
Urrutia realized the danger and ac-
cepted the military guard sent TO the
Hotel Diligencia gratefully
Il know | am blamed for all OF
Huerta's evil ideas" he said. But /
was not responsible for them
\ guar has been stationed al the
gangway Of the Ypiranga and before
Urrutias stateroom TO prevent an at
tempt being made on his life.
Gen. Funston today ordered all
Americans here to register with the
American consul Deportation is the
alternative The American command
er intends To list all Americans now in
Mexico. They are given until 10 a. m.
tomorrow To comply with the order.
Failure TO do so will result in their

FIFTY FIRE FIGHTERS

NEW YORK. May 19-Fffty fire
fighters. among them Chief Kenlon,
were made unconscious by fumes
while battling with a blaze in the
building covering block on Green
wich St. between Desbrosses and Watt
SITS. today. Twenty were so badly
overcome that they were taken back
to their quarters and Chief Kenlon
fell unconscious three times but
would not leave the scene.
The fire was discovered about mid
night but il was not until six hours
later that il was under control The
chemicals. which caused all the
trouble. were stored in the upper
floors which were occupied by the
Atlantic Can company. The ground
floor was occupied by the Barnard
Greenwood company, dealers in gas
pipe and plumbers fittings
SO dense did the fumes become that
the firemen could not approach the
building and had to fight the fire at
long range.
Iron carboys containing muriatic
and hydrOchlOric acid, burst like Cat

Firemen estimated that 1000, 900
gallons of water were poured upon the
fire and the damage was estimated at

Rebels Deride Rnmor.

WASHINGTON. MAY 19.-Diplomats
in Washington today turned their at
tentiOn 10 the constutionalists as a
menace TO mediation. They see in
the unyielding attitude Of the follow
ers of Carranza toward suggestions OF
compromise in the Mexican troubles a
serious obstacle to the efforts Of the
South American and United States
representatives. TO restore peace in the
southern republic.
Rumors that Gen. Huerta would
resign were derided by constitutional
st representatives here. They say
that the elimination of Huerta alone
would not be sufficient and that his
whole party-the CientificOes-must
go. They insist that they will solve
the Mexican problem themselves In a
month by driving the Huerta govern
ment from Mexico
Washington is convinced that the
conditions said 10 have been placed
on his resignation by Huerta must
keep the rebels from entering any pact
drawn up by the mediators. Hence
the American representatives to the
peace conference left for Niagara
Falls today With the prospects of
mediation hanging by a thread.
