CRISIS APPEARS TO
Be DUE THIS week
Mediators Preparing for Serious
Developments.

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 25-1n the
hope of seeing provisional govern
ment that the United States can rec
ognize established in Mexico City be-
fore the Constitutionalists can seize
control the Pan-American mediators
are preparing for the crisis in their
deliberations, which is expected this
week.
After playing at foils for two or
three days it has become evident that
the hour for serious business has ar
rived. The Mexican delegates them
selves felt this the more keenly as
the Constitutionalists continued their
victorious march toward the capital.
Should the Huerta government col
lapse as the Constitutionalist army
approaches it is realized that a condi-
ton of chaos and anarchy would re-
suit.
The mediators are working rapidly
in the hope of seeing new provision
al government established which may
be given prompt recognition and sup
port by the United States.
The Mexican delegates believe that
a government set up by the Constitu-
tionalists cannot last long if unrecog-
nized by the United States and world
powers. They declare that a new
revolution would be inevitable.

Atlantic to Pacific.

mer president into almost every state

go to California next fall to stump

Fall Aggravated Long Illness Of Ken
lucky Lawmaker.
Washington, May 25.-William o.
Bradley, United States senator from
Kentucky, died here after lingering
illness aggravated by a fall.
Senator Bradley was one of the
most distinguished Republican lead
ers of Kentucky in his generation. An
orator OF unusual ability, for forty
years he has been prominent before
the people of his state and the nation.
Born in 1S47 he was only fourteen
years old when the Civil war broke
out. Twice he ran away from home to
join the Union army, only to be taken
from the ranks by his father because
of his extreme youth. As a page of
the lower house of the Kentucky leg
islature he attracted such attention
that at the age of eighteen special
act was passed by the legislature en-
abling him to practice law. He made
the law his profession through life.

| JURY DECLARES
| BECKER GUILTY
Finds Former Police Officer Re.
sponsib|e for Murder.
PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT
Tears Stream Down the Foreman's
Face as He Announce
the Verdict.

New York, May 23.-Twelve men
decided for the second time that
Charles Becker was the archconspir.
ator responsible for the Rosentha]
murder, which nearly two years ago
awoke New York to a realization of
corruption in the police department
and opened new era of police re-
form.
Becker, once a police lieutenant,
was found guilty of murder in the
first degree.
Only a pardon or interference again
by the court of appeals can save him
from following to the electric chair
the four gunner who shot Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, early on the
morning of July 16, 1912. The jury
decided that the gunner were Beck
er's agents.
One ballot decided Becker's fate.
1t was taken almost Immediately at.
ter the jurors returned from luncheon
at an uptown hotel, where they went
as soon as Supreme Court Justice
Samuel Seabury finished his charge.
1t was unanimous for conviction.
Tears streamed down the foreman's
face as he announced the decision
and tears stood in the eyes of several
other jurymen; but sympathy did not
warp their judgment. They had
agreed that the corroboration which
the district attorney failed to present
at the first trial to support the stories
of Rose, WALTON and Weber, the three
accomplices who turned informers,
had been furnished by the new wit
nesses at the second.
Becker's counsel announced that he
will appeal and gained weeks stay
for the preparation of his future cam.
paign. The defendant was granted
short meeting with his wife and his
brothers and then taken back to his
cell in the Tombs.

| TWENTY-FIVE men.
New ughtship Lost OFF the Coast
Of Nova Scotia.

Halifax, May 24.-The loss of the
new lightship Halifax No. 10, with all
the twenty-five men on board, is in
dicated by the discovery of wreckage
and three bodies near Liscomb, 100
miles east of here.
The ightship was on her way to
this port from Paisley, Scotland,
where she was built.
The lightship, which was due here
Friday, is believed to have struck a
rock while feeling her way through
the thick fog that has enshrouded the
coast for several days.
The wreckage was sighted and the
bodies picked up by the steamer Duff
FERN, which reported that nfebelts
marked Halifax No. 10" were strapped
about each of the victims.
All the victims are believed to be
