sRiDGIE WEBER
 ADMITS HE LIED. Counsel For Becker Draws Admission During Cross Examination.

New York. May 14-Counse1 for Charles Becker. the former police lieutenant, obtained today fromBridgie Webber described as the financial packer of the plot that resulted in the killing of Rosenthal, admissions that he had lied to Deputy Police Com missioner Dougherty, had said things during his direct examination earlier in the day that he omitted the first time Becker was on trial for his life, and swore to affidavits that he swore today were false.
 Under the first of the cross ex- animation Webber trembled, his mouth quivered and then curled into g smile. At times he seemed to defy Martin T. Manton of Becher's coun- sel, to draw any contradictory state ments from him. At other times he appeared to give way in despair. Twice he admitted he was remorseful for the part he had taken in the crome.
 Mention of the death of the four gunInen in the electric chair affected the witness almost to the point of tears. But he gripped the arms of the witness chair, regained control of him. self and went on with his testimony
 In it's essential points. the story he told of the murder conspiracy and it's results remained unchanged by cross examination. Attorneys for the de- rense however, expressed themselves as gratif1ed that they had made Web her admit he had lied.

ELECTRICAL STORM
 cUTssoFF TAMPico.
Vera Cruz Reports Condition of Re- treating Federals as Most Critical.

Vera Cruz, May 14.-A violent elec- trical storm in the vicinity of Tampico nas rendered the wireless virtually useless and only meagre details of the situation at that port. which was evacuated yesterday by the federals. were received here today
 The plight of the federals under General Zaragoza, who are retiring in the direction of San Luis Potosi, alons the railroad from Tampico is consid- cred by those who know the country most serious.
 The constitutionalists have overrun the territory San Luis Potosi ana control a considerabl eportion of the railroad
 Northward toward the federal lines the country is rugged and barren, and proDaDIy impossible to the weary vet erans of Tampico, which has long been under siege.
 At Zaragoza's rear are constitution aIlst forces. elated by victory, and ready to press after him. The general belief here is that the little force of 1ederals will be cut to pieces before it reaches the lines sout hof San Luis Potosi.
 News was received today that the warning or the constitutionalist Iead- CT, General Cabaretto, of his purpose to attack Tampico with artillery and Iorce a surrender was given to the commander of the British cruiser Her mione on May g.
 Foreign residents immediately began to go aboard the various ships. 1t is reported that all foreigners left the city except few Americans who chose to remain.
 Within the city native patriotic dem- -onstrations occurred frequently before the attacke began.
 The situation at Vera Cruz was quiet today, and Brigadier General Funston's 's men have settled down to the routine of garrison duty.

Barges Through
 Panama Canal
FIVE EMPTIEs START THROUGH
 BIG DITCH TO-DAY
SEVERAL SHIPS WAITING
First Vessel With Cargo Will, Probably Go Over the Route Late on Sunday or Early Monday.

Panama, May 14-A freight barge line through the canal will be inaugu- rated tomorrow when five empty barges will be towed from Colon to Balboa to carry cargo back. The first cargo will probably go through the canal late on Sunday or early Mon day.
 Owing to an accident to the barge Balboa, the channel through Cucura- cha will not be completed probably uptil Sunday morning. This has occa- stoned delay in passing the Panama rdlroa2 steamer through. Several vessels are now waiting an opportunity to cross into the Atlantic.
 The tremendous congestion in inter- oceanic commerce caused by suspen- sion of service on the Tehuantepec railroad in southern Mexico, as an in- cident to the rebellion, brought about canal to trade. Several of the great freight liners which, in conjunction win the similar service on the Pacific, maintained trade lines between Europe and the far east via Tehauntepec have recently appeared at Colon and Pana- ma, offering cargoes for transshipment overland far beyond the capacity of the Panama railroad. Finding that Colonel Goethals was willing to assist them by clearing an adequate channei for barges, at least through the Cucha- racha slide. the company secured a lot of the barges that have been used for harbor purposes at Colon and Panama and established this service as an overflow to assist the railroad in meet ing the trade demands.
 Colonel Goethals has not yet report ed to Washington just when the canal will be open to merchant shipping, but the understanding here is that the wa terway is practically finished and that even now there is a sufficient channel through the Culebra cut for almost any warShip or liner. and that it is only from desire to avoid a possible seri- ous accident through an unexpected renewal of the earth movements in the cut that Col Goethals has determined to allow a period for observation be- fore actually opening the canal.
 It is understood that this barge ser vice is to be operated on about IF hours schedule from the Atlantic to the Pacific. which allows about an hours delay in each of the locks.

the operation of the New Haven and all it's subsidiaries. Although he had brought to Washington several trunks ful of papers and books, he did not have all which the commission want ed.
 To enable him, therefore, to return to New England for the desired docu- ments, and also to afford the attorneys of the commission an opportunity to consider and arrange those offered in evidence, an adjournment of the hear ing was taken until next Tuesday.
 More than an inkling of MT. Mellen's remarkable story was given by him during the brief hour he was on the stand. He told how. in the acquisition of the New Westchester and Boston railroad by the New Haven road. 5000 shares of the stock of the latter were given for 24.000 shares of the West chester's stock. although, he said, he considered the latter stock worth only ten cents pound"
 The details of the exchange were ar ranged, MT. Mellen testified, by former Police Inspector Thomas F. Byrnes of New York. and he said he found that much of the Westchester stock was made out in the names of people who did not really hold it. Mr. Mellen tes- tified that at this time the New Haven wanted certain changes made in the proposed charter of the Westchester and he 'had a suspicion that the W eStcneSter shares were scattered around among people who had inf1u- ence." He said he wanted to reach the devil. or anybody that it was nec- essary to reach.''
 MT. Mellen said that often when the holders of Westchester stock came to him and asked for their redemption value he did not have the cash with him and could not make out checks or give them the New Haven stock. On these occa sions, he said, he gave them personal due bills. About fifteen or twenty of the holders of these, he tes- tified, had come to him later. some af- ter he resigned from the New Haven, and he had given them the cash. He said he had redeemed about S150, 900 worth of the due bills in this way, but that there now were outstanding against him the equivalent of $50 1000.
 While the examinations was in prog ress, counsel for Mir Mellen made pub lie long statement dealing particu- lar1y with the relations of the New Haven with the Grand Trunk. This was not put in evidence, but it may be made a part of the record later
 Chief Counsel Folk of the commits sion spent several hours this after noon going over documents with MT. Mellen and said that when the witnass resumed the stand Tuesday he wot d interrogate him more fully as to tk , WeStChASfef trans ctioO NJ
