night when william Benton. 4 cousin OF

Charles Becker for the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal IL it is In his power 10 do 80.
Furthermore, Mr.. Whitman himself
may be an important witness at ths
second trial.
IL was also reported yesterday that
Mr.. Whitman will try Becker on graft
charges instead OF murder. His comment
on that was
The man has never been indicted on
any such charge"
The decision whether or not the eX
police lieutenant will face a jury for
the second time for murder does not
rest with the chief prosecuting office
of the county, but with the Judge or the
Justice befor. whom he moves the ease
for trial
Whitman is firmly convinced OF the
guilt OF Becker and he believes that the
decision of the Court of Appeals has leis
him with the vital parts of the case
unnjured. Certain witnesses have been
eliminated and certain testimony will not
be heard again. but the foundation is
still intact
In order to have a new trial Mr..
Whitman. will have TO go before Judge
and ask for permission. The Judge will
have judicial notice OF the decision of
the Court of Appeals and will have read
il. II will be his right 10 demand OF
the District Attorney whether or not lie
has any new evidence to present ~ the

"Wednesday HaIf.HoIldaxa

Inaugurated by the Retail Grocers and Butchers association of Atlanta, Ga. and encouraged by the leading civic societies, the movement to make Wednesday afternoon a business half holiday during the summer season has reached remarkable proportions. This year more than thousand dealers, including nearly all the grocers and butchers as we'll as number of other retailers, have adopted the custom of closing Wednesday afternoons. It is estimated that some 1000 employees will thus be given a midweek outing through the most trying months of the year.

WithdrdtUdl of Arizona Public
 Lands Under the Carey Act

 public lands under the provisions
 of the so-called Carey Act bids
 fair to culminate in an important
 reclamation enterprise, according
 to Chairman Mulford Winsor, of
 the State Land Commission. The
 withdrawal for this project in-
 cludes about 20. 900 acres of bot
 tom and mesa land on the south
 side of the Gila river, near Palo-
 mas. Tn Yuma county, which it
 is planned to irrigate by huge
 pumps. after developing the un-
 derfiow of the Gila rlver. The
 Gila, which supplies surface
 waters for irrigation only at ir-
 rigular intervals-and generally
 lays off when the water is most
 needed-is known to always carry
 a great supply of underground
 waters. In the proposed Carey
 enterprise near Palomas it is de-
 signed to develop these waters
 by means of a series of connect ed pits extending across the r1veo channel. With a supply once provided, the pumping of the water and it's conveyance to the land to be irrigated is con- sidered very simple engineering problem.
 California and Eastern capital ists of large means are prepared to carry the work to completion, following detailed engineering investigation, as required by the regulations of the State Land Commission. which has charge of all Carey Act project in the State. and the Department of the Department of the Interior, which must finally approve the project before title to the lands can pass. These capitalist are represented by s. H. Woodruff, a Los Angeles capitals who has been successful with many large enterprises. and who is enthusi- astic over the prospects of the Palomas project.
 Following completion of the engineering investigation by the promoters of the enterprise, and he submission to the State Land Commission not only of the de- .alled maps and plans setting ;orth the physical features of { he project, but also the charges. 1 erms and assessments to be inn S posed upon water users, the Com / will make a similar in- 7estigation for the purpose of I atisfying itself of the projects [ easibility.

WASHINGTON, D c., June s.
A delegation OF West Virginia suffra-
gists visited the capitol Friday and got
promise from Chairman Henry, Of
the rules committee, that a suffrage
bill would be considered by the House
OF Representatives before the end OF
the present Congress. No assurance
was given by Mr. Henry that the mat
ter would be taken up before the end
of the present session. In fact he
assured them quite to the contrary,
but said that the present Congress
would not expire before the suffrage
matter had been considered.
The delegation from West Virginia
was led by Mrs. Milton Mcclellan, of
Parkersburg, while Miss Doris Stew
ems, OF Washington, who recently made
several speeches in West Virginia on
the subject of suffrage, assisted in
plotting the delegation through the
capitol They were Joined by Con-
gresham NJ. NJ Nelly, OF Fairmont,
and Hunter II. Moss, of Parkersburg,
both of whom have taken a decisive
stand for suffrage, and were intro
duced by them to Congressman Henry,
who outlined his views as to when
the suffrage matter could get hear
ing In the House. The delegation
seemed pleased with the assurance
he gave them that the present Con-
gress would not finally adjourn with

his absence from the region Of the

to John Dice, of GreRnbrier. and
have aroused his suspicion. 1T was

was a noticeable let down at this end

he left his campaign in the hands OF
his managers to come on here and
SEQ there was any truth in 1t. He

Investigation.
For those who have f....ltad to keep
up with these veracious chronicles, it
should be stated for their enlight-

announcement, he was here, and the
higher-ups said he would do, that he
was& their man all right and to go
back home and hustle tor, the dele

said that its operators began to fear
that Dice was not going to be as easy
