Finds Former Police Officer Re-
sponsib|e for Murder.
PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT
Tears Stream Down the Foreman's
Face a. He Announces
the Verdict.

New York, May 23.-Twelve men
decided for the second time that
Charles Becker was the archconspir-
ator responsible for the Rosenthal
murder, which nearly two years ago
awoke New York to a realization Of
corruption in the police department
and opened a new era of police re-
form, - ..... 49,, aa-4.
Becker, once a police lieutenant
was found guilty of murder in the
first degree.
Only q pardon or interference again
by tho 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 Beckers fate.
1t was taken almost Immediately az
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 confederation 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 a weeks stay
for the preparation of his future CAM
paign. The defendant was granted |
a short meeting with his wife and his
brothers and then taken back to his
cell in the Tombs.

Austrians Lose 35 Per Cent.
London, Sept 22.-"Tt is estimated
that the Austrian losses in the great
battle of Galicia are as high as 30
per cent" says the PetrOgrad CORE
spondent of the Times. His dispatch
continues:
There is no reliable data regard
ing the Russian losses, but it is believ-
/ ed that they are not one-tenth Of those
sustained by the Austrians. This dis
parity is due in a great measure to
the superiority of the Russian gum
rers. All eye-witnesses agree that the
Russian regiments are admirably
trained in the difficult are Of control
ling their fire and taking shelter
Battle Of Aisne Most important.
London, Sept. 21.-The Paris CORE.
respondent of the Reuter- Telegram
company says the consensus of opin-
ion in the French capital is that the
battle of the Aisne is the most impor-
tant since the beginning of the war.
The Russian army now in Galicia
will be left there to complete it's work
for, according to Rome dispatch, an
army of 100000 Russians is marching
into central Poland followed by an
other army of 100000, which a third
army, also aggregating 100000
and will reach the front in October.
There already are said to be mil
lion Russians in Galicia and half
million in East Prussia. While these
numbers are enormous they are con-
sidered probably a fair estimate of
what Russia soon will have available
for her war It is said she will soon
have 100000 men on the move.
Austrian Losses 100000.
The Times says d reasonable esti-
mate of the Austrian losses thus far in
Galicia is 100000 men killed, wounded
or extraordinarily one-third of their
army. They have also lost a total of
about 1000 pieces of artillery-more
than two-thirds of all they had. The
broken remnants of the Austrian arm
les are rendered doubly weak by this
poverty of field guns.

Cracow, in which he was, according
to Russian accounts, beaten by the
Russian army coming southwark from

Now Sure of Galicia.
The Russians are now SO sure of
Galicia that they are organizing a
civil government for that region, as
we'll as for BukoWina, the Austrian
crown land of which they are COM
plete masters.
The Germans have retaliated to
some extent by penetrating the terri
tory of Suwalki, in Russian Poland,
and farther to the north. But the Rus
slams are contenting themselves with
defending their fortresses until their
work in Galicia is completed.
The Montenegrins and Servians are
reported to be meeting with success
and the Montenegrins now are ap-
preaching Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia.
Austrian Reverses in GaIicia.
Vienna, Sept. %, via Paris.-The be-
lief is growing in official circles here
that the Austrian reverses in Galicia
were, to large extent brought about
by exact knowledge held by the Rus
sian war office of Austria's mobiliza-
ton and campaign plans, which had
been obtained through an elaborate
system of espionage.
Some Definite Results.
New York, Sept ga news dis
patch received in London from France
says an aeroplane reconnaissance has
given rise to the conviction that a
large portion of the German forces is
retiring in the direction of fortified
positions on the German border.
The ten days of desperate battle
have shown one result-the soldiers of
the three nations engaged are becom-
ing exhausted. The human machine
is weakening under the frightful de-
mands made upon it. Lulls in the bat
Ting are ascribed simply to utter IA
tigue.
Another factor which has had a
notable effect on the conduct of the
operations has been the incessant cold
rain which has flooded the valley of
the Aisne. The men are drenched to
the skin day and night.
Terrible Artillery Duels.
