WILSON WINS
OPENING FIGHT
The Majority is in His Favor in
Toll Battle.
CLOTURE RULE ADOPTED.
Speaker Clark, Representative Under
wood and Others Voice Strong
Opinions On Repeal, But the
White House Is Victorious.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son won the opening skirmish of the
greatest legislative battle of his Ad-
ministration when the House, over bit
ter protests from the recognized Demo
cratic leaders and almost solid
minority opposition, adopted special
rule for the consideration of the bill
repeating the free tolls provision OF
the Panama Canal act
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Underwood, Republican Leader Mann
and Progressive Leader Murdoch were
at the head of those lined up against
the Administration, but the House re-
sponded to the Presidents personal
appeal for prompt consideration OF
the repeal bill as means of support
ing his Administrations foreign policy.
Two votes demonstrated the Presi-
dents commanding influence with his
party in Congress on the first test, a
motion to end debate and preclude
amendment on the rule, carried by a
vote of 207 to 176; the rule itself was
adopted by 200 to 172.
Nothing to compare with the scene
had occurred in the House since the
famous Cannon rules fight four years
ago. In vain Representative Under
wood took the floor and urged his cob
leagues to vote against the rule. The
rank and file Democrats, after listen
ing to three hours of passionate argu-
ment, swung into the Presidents col
umn, 1919 of them voting to prevent
the amendment of the special rule,
while only SIS followed the leader in
going with the minority in opposition.
Administration supporters consider
ed the crucial point passed, and jubi-
lantly predicted the passage of the re-
peal bill itself by a majority of more
than 100.
Following the announcement of
Speaker Clark against the rule, high
feeling had appeared on both sides of
the controversy and every influence
available was brought to bear on the
doubtful ones in the House.
AS result, when the struggle be-
gan, both sides were keyed up to a
high pitch.

TEACHER SLAIN
BY FORMER PUPIL
Lad She Expelled Charged With
WantOn Crime.
TRIED REFORM HIM
Mutilated Body Of Lydia Beecher
Found In the Bushes At Poland,
N. Y.-She Had Gone Out At
Night To Mail a Letter.

Little Falls, N. Y.AEugene Gianini
17-year-old boy, just out of pro.
tectory, confessed, the police assert
that he was the murderer of Miss
Lydia Beecher, teacher in a country
school at Poland, whose body was
found in clump of woods in the out.
skirts of that village.
The boy, who had been expelled
from Miss Beecher's school some time
ago and had been pleading with her
for reinstatement, admitted, the police
say, that he struck the young woman
with a monkey wrench and then stab
bed her to death with knife.
He told the authorities where the
weapons might be found. Only bare
outline of the confession was given
out by the police pending the putting
of his admissions into writing.
Miss Beecher, who was the daugh-
ter of the Reverend and Mrs. William
A. Beecher, of Sennett, near Auburn,
and who was only 20 years old, taught
school in Poland for two years.
Gianini was one of her most trouble
some pupils. On her complaint he
was expelled from the school last June
and sent to st. Vincent's Protectory
in Utica, from which he was released a
month ago.
He sought out his former teacher,
told her he intended to do better and
importuned her to visit his parents,
who are reputable and well-to-do PEG.
pie in Poland, to explain how he might
be reinstated in the school.
Miss Beecher had been studying for
missionary work and it is believed that
in her desire to reform him she walked
with him and was killed. Charles
Gianini, father of the youthful prison
er, was furniture manufacturer OF
New York, first coming to Poland to
spend summer and finally taking up
his home there, about five years ago
He is an ornithologist of some note
and has contributed articles on that
science to magazines.
The PARENTS of the murdered girl ar
rived in Poland to take their daugh
ter's body home They had been ad
vised that Miss Beecher was seriously
ill, but were grief-stricken when on
passing through Syracuse on the way
to her they saw newspaper telling
of the murder.

WANT GUNNER
GIVEN REPR|EVE
Petition BY Ten Of Jurors Who
Convicted Them.
BASIS FOR THEIR REQUEST
Petition Says Would Be In the inter
ests Of Justice To Stay the Death
Sentence Until After the Sec
ond Trial Of Becker.

New York.-Ten of the twelve trial
jurors who found the four gunner
guilty of murder of the gambler Her
man Rosenthal have signed a petition
asking Governor Glynn to stay the
execution of death, set for next month,
until after the second trial of Charles
Becker, the former police lieutenant,
whose conviction was set aside last
month by the State Court of Appeals
The jurors petition is not signed by
two of their number; one of the two
was out of town when his signature
was sought and the other declined to
make known his attitude. The others
stated that their requests was sub
mitted without, on our part, desire to
impeach or impungn the verdict" they
rendered.
In view of the new trial that has
been granted to Becker, the petition
sets forth, "the interests of justice
may require that the execution of
Judgment of death pronounced upon
these defendants upon our verdict be
stayed until there be final determine
ton of the guilt or innocence of the
said Charles Becker, or other DISPOSE
ton of the case"
Every possibility of error should be
eliminated, the ten jurors pointed out
hence their request for a reprieve or
stay Ito the end that if anything here
after may occur or any information be
procured, or during the trial of Charles
Becker be brought to light which may
rebound to the benefit of the defend
ants, they may have an opportunity at
the proper time, to avail themselves of
such development or revelation"
H. Lionel Kringel, of counsel for
the gunner, will present the petition,
together with statement making
references to the opinion of the Court
of Appeals in the Becker case and vari-
Gus petitions, among them one by the
gunner, Dago Frank Cirofici, Lefty
Louie Rosenberg, Harry Horowitz
(Gyp the Blood, and Whitley Lewis
Jacob Seidensher).
The four request, first, that the
judgment of death be committed to
"such term of Imprisonment as the
Governor may seem just and proper"
and second, that the execution of
judgment be stayed and reprieves be
granted until after the final determi-
nation of the indictment" against
Becker.

IS NOT YET OUT
OF THE WOODS
British Premier StilIHas Serious
Obstacles Ahead.
ARMY SITUATION is CLOUDED
The Adjutant General Has Also Quit,
Though 1t Is Stated That Both
Of Them Have Yielded To
Persuasion.

London.-The air is full of ex-
travagant rumors, among the most
credible being the report that Colonel
Seeley is, after all, to quit the War
Office by an exchange of portfolios
with Lewis Harcourt, secretary for
the colonies.
The only new facts in the situation
were to be found in the resignation of
Field Marshal Sir John French, chief
of the Imperial General Staff, and Sir
John Spencer Ewart, adjutant gen.
eral, from the Army Council. The
rumor persists that other members of
the Army Council have resigned, but
this cannot be confirmed.
Negotiations and conferences be-
tween Buckingham Palace, the War
Office and Downing street were car
ried on throughout the day, and it was
known that the strongest efforts were
being made to induce Field Marshal
French and Gen. Ewart to reconsider
their action. The Prime Minister call
ed hurried meeting of the cabinet at
lilo AOoAOCAOC oLICl IL was OCClQSu W
postpone the statement to Parliament
Later it was announced, with a show
of authority, that both French and
Ewart had at last consented to with
draw their designations.
In Ireland no change has occurred
Belfast remains quiet and although it
is asserted that the officers at the
Curragh camp are determined to re-
sign because of the reputation Of
Colonel Seely's guarantee by the gov
eminent, on actual designations so far
as is known have occurred.
According to the best information,
the conference at the War Office of all
the principal commanding generals Of
the army was called to enable Gen.
erals French and Ewart to explain that
their resignation was a personal mat
ter, arising solely from the fact that
they signed the Cough memorandum,
which the government had since repu-
dated, and they urged that all the
other officers should remain at their
posts.
