cross by the prompt announcement
that Becker would be tried again, ant
! that with all possible speed. The dis
! trict attorney said there would be NJ
let-up on the part of the prosecution
and expressed the confident belief thai
the adverse decision of the higher
court had left more than enough am
munition to blow the ex-lieutenant
back into Sing Sing and the death
house.
Whitman himself injected a new ele-
ment into the case by declaring that
he would be witness for the prosecu-
ton and Becker's counsel countered
with the declaration that Becker, too
would take the witness chair and tell
it ALL
Officials are Determined.
There is, therefore, ample assurance
that the second trial of Becker will not
be a cut-and-dried affair by any means
and the New York public will again
hear all about the Resenthal murder,
the gamblers fued that brought it
about and the revelations of wholesale
police corruption that came in its
wake Again will the dapper and de-
bonaire Mr. Sam Schepps stroll Ian

A remarkable feature of the Rosen-
hal story is that most of the actors in

Becker quoted a long passage from the

DECLARES THERE WILL BE

Makes Declaration That He VIII Bring

written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, Mar.11.-The trail oil
the serpent goes on and on, it's daily
slime befouling all it touhces. New
York seems destined never to forget
the sensational murder of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal. Shortly after mid
night on July morning two years ago,
shots rang out on the still air of
Forty third street in the Upper Ten
derloin and their echo has reverber-
ated throughout the Greater City ever
since. On that fateful morning the as
sassination, for it was nothing else, of
Herman Rosenthal in front of the Ho-
| tel Metropole, electrified contiguous
Broadway and its ripples have spread
until they ruffied the surface of every
portion of New York, from center to
outermost perimeter. And the echoes
and the ripples are not done.
They were given fresh impetus the
other day when the court of appeals
of the state of New York, sitting at
Albany, on purely technical grounds,
reversed the conviction of former Po-
lice Lieutenant Charles Becker, in Sing
Sing awaiting death in the electric
chair for the murder of Rosenthal, and
ordered a new trial for him. The
courts order revived the case in all
its startling features and the news
papers of New York repeated all the
sordid and CHASTITY details of the actual
murder and the year of investigations
and trials that it brought on.
Becker added fuel to the flame by
beginning to talk as soon sa he was
taken from the death house on the life
side of the Little Green Door and he
has continued to talk volubly ever
since. He began by reiterating that he
is innocent of the gamblers murder |
and knew all the time that he would |
get justice. Then he said that he knew |
who did kill Rosenthal and promised |
that when he is free-not if but when |
down the murderer and bringing him
to justice.
He openly accused Harry Vallon, one
of the notorious "squealers," of being
the actual murderer of Rosenthal.
Then Becker declared his firm belief
that the four gunner, Gyp the Blood,
Lefty Louis, Whitley Lewis, and Dago
Frank, now under sentence of death
Tor the murder, were not guilty at all,
out the victims of a frameup. Becker
n his interviews injected a handful
If new elements into the already tang
ed case, and thereby gave the i'm
preston to an unbiased observer that
le was simply trying to "muss up the
rail-" and so becloud the issue that
here would be an entirely new lineup
when he is tried again.
No Leg to Stand On.
The accused policeman's friends took :
occasion at the outset to state their
,elief that there would be no real !
lew trial of Becker that the court of
ppeals had not left District Attorney '
leg to stand on and that the ,
econd hearing would be only per- {
unctory one, resulting In Becker's t
omplete vindication. IL

Sharkey No Tight Wad.
Old Tom Sharkey was peeved and
petulent that the rumor should have
spread abroad that he is a tight-wad.
The thought of same has caused him
considerable fretting and discomfort.
How could the public ever get the
idea that I am tight?" asks the one

Evolved a New Plan.
Hughey Jennings evolved a new
plan to prevent overexertion at the
training camp of the Tigers at Gulf

trunks for three days after the play
ers started training. He figured that
this would be a good way to remove

MESSAGE OF V|R|L|TY
IN B|SPHAM'S SONGS
Rare Program of Classics Given
at ConCert-DramatiC Tai
{ emf Gratifies Audience.

An artist who appreciates the wishes
of the audience is rare, but the artist
who attempts TO fulfill those wishes is
Tsrcr still. David Bispham. however,
who was heard yesterday afternoon in
concert at the Columbia Theater, not
only appreciates but succeeds in graft
tying the desires of his audiences.
For ten years Mr.. Bispham has car
ried on his crusade of singing in the
English language, and slowly but surely
other artists are following his example.
But in his endeavor 10 make his pro-
crane perfectly ineligible to his audi
ences Mr.. Bispham goes one step far
Their, and gives an explanation of his
song before he sings il.
Couple this custom with the dramatic
talent of this artist, and one hears the
song-de-luxe, a song which has a mean
ing. a message and which is a dram
attic unit
In the group Of classical songs from
the works of European composers, and
m the group of modern songs, by Ameri-
can composers, the virility of the selec-
lions Is most noticeable. THIS also fol-
lows out one of the excellent ideas OF
Mr.. Bispham-
MEMS songs for men," is his way OF
expressing the reasons for MS choice.

those songs written for men, In the
proper key, should be attempted by
men. know that women and men
sing songs indiscrimlnateiy, but no"
much stronger is the program which is
identified and strengthened by the
knowledge that the singer IT, imper-
Sonating one of his or her own sex.
