Chas. Becker, the New York police
lieutenant who has just been convict
ed for the second time of the murder
of Rosenthal, the gambler, will more
than likely - 70 the chair. Becker
had far trial if any man ever had
one. In his first trial and conviction
there was a strong feeling against
him which was apparent in the court
room among spectators. This was
wholly absent at the second trial,
where the evidence Of his guilt was
even more convincing. Of course
his attorneys will move for a third
trial and will exhaust every legal
technicality to obtain it. But Becker
is undoubtedly doomed to ignomi-
nous death in the electric chair, a
fate that the country is satisfied is
10 more than his due.

A DIPLOMAT WHO
HAS MADE GOOD.

That Nelson O'Shaughnessy has
made good in Mexico is the official
opinion in Washington. This is the
opinion, too, of thousands of CRATE
full American refugees who have es-
capped from Mexico with their lives.
That O'Shaughnessy is a mixer is
realized when it is remembered that
he represented your Uncle Sam dur
ing three administrations in Mexico,
all bitterly antagonistic to each 9TH
er; first the old regime Of Porfrio
Diaz, then the administration of Ma
dero, and finally that of Huerta, Ma
dero's slayer.
O'Shaughnessy was first appointed
by Roosevelt in 1904 as secretary TO
Copenhagen at the age of twenty
seven. He was one of those rich
young fellows in New York city who
ran to clothes, tennis and money.
His family was anxious for him to
get into the diplomatic service, be-
cause he didn't care enough for mon
ey to work for it. The appointment
was contrary to the judgment of the
republican senators from New York,
but Roosevelt pushed it through any
way.
In 1905 he was transferred to Ber-
lin as third secretary and played ten
mis- with the crown prince. Two
years later he went to Vienna, where
he stayed for four years; in neither
place did he distinguish himself ex-
cept as a jolly good fellow,
He was offered the appointment as
minister to Bucharest, but his friends
were displeased with this and held the
appointment up. For discipline he
was given the second secretaryship
to Mexico, distinct step downward
so it was thought.
But this was O'Shaughnessy's great
opportunity. A month after his ar
rival in Mexico City things began to
warm up. 1t was just at that time
that Diaz fled and the Mexican post
became the most important in the
diplomatic service.
During Madero's rule O'Shaughnes-
sy became extremely friendly with
him, but when Huerta achieved the
presidency, the American charge
quickly cultivated a personal rela-
tionship with him.

focks. In a circular letter he says
at seems to me that every dealer in
the state can afford to pay from to &c
a dozen more to farmers who pro-
duce clean, fresh, infertile eggs than
to those who keep males with the
hens throughout the year and PRO
duce any sort of an old egg. Many
already have agreed to do this. You
don't need to pay higher price for
males on June unless that is your
desire, but if you will pay from to

You will practically solve the sum-

CHARLES NELLEN TESTFIES

VEN WERE WASTED.
President of Road Said He Followed
Instructions of Late Pierpont
Morgan.

Washington.-A story OF the late ]
P. Morgan's absolute domination in at
fairs of the New Haven railroad, OF
the spending of millions in awed and
ignorant silence at the command OF
the all-powerful financial ruler, was
told to the interstate commerce com.
mission by Charles S. Mellen, former
president of the New Haven. 1t was
the most extraordinary chapter yet
unfolded in the commissions inquiry
into the alleged exploitation of the
great New England railroad and dis
appearance of fortunes from its treas
ury through acquisition at eXtravagant
prices of subsidiary properties.
Members of the commission, counsel
and interested spectators fairly hung
on every werd of Mr. Mellen as his
story developed dramatically under
the examination by Chief Counsel
Folk Everybody listened with alb,
sorbed attention and at times evident
amazement, as he related how he had
stood in awe of Mr. Morgan, because
of his comprehensive grasp and per
feet prescience of financial matters;
how he had consulted with Theodore
Roosevelt, then president of the
United States, regarding the purchase
of the Boston and Maine railroad;
how he had prevented the late Z. H.
Hartman from acquiring the Boston
and Maine by getting it himself for
the New Haven; and how he had
dealt with the late Police Inspector
Thomas F. Byrnes of New York, to
obtain the WestcheSter stock held by
persons whom he assumed to be con
nected with Tammany Hall.

THINGS LOOK GOOD
IN FLORIDA.

Commercial men are gathering
from all parts of the country for
the National meeting to be held in
Jacksonville this week. One well
advised traveller who has been pref
ty much over the State says that he
is confident that there is more ready
money right now in Florida than in
most any other state in the Union
considering its population and area
of cultivated land. Especially is
this true of the small towns and the
thickly settled rural places down in
the citrus and vegetable parts of
the state There, he said, almost
every man has a good bank roll in
some small bank, and is anticipating
doubling the roll this coming winter

Tallahassee.-W. Walton O'Hara,
who is canvassing Florida to get an

fact that the legislature of 1913 made
no appropriation for an exhibit or for
place to house one.
Now that the state of California has
agreed to take down the bars against
admitting Florida fruit, so that this
state may stand on an equal footing
with California in the matter Of re-
plenishing a supply of fruit at the

A LARGE ENTERPRISE.

The Rodman Lumber Company, at
its plant southwest of Palatka, on
the Ocala Northern Rail Road, has
started to drain two sections-1 ,240
acres-of land on which to plant po-
tatoes. One hundred acres will be
cleared and planted next winter, and
meanwhile the whole area will be put
into shape for cultivation.
This is a practical effort on the
part Of one of our largest milling
companies and should be an example
for others.
The raising of potatoes is already
leading and profitable industry in
Putnam county and promises to grow
rapidly and become more valuable.
There are large areas here suitable
to growing high-grade tubers,
Within a radius of twenty-five
miles of Palatka this season over
1900 car loads of potatoes have
been shipped north. They are still
being shipped. So far these ship
ments have brought in more than one
million dollars from lands that a few
years ago were not thought worth
paying the taxes on.
A New York dispatch of May p
saws the HaStinCs-Palatka potato
crop never had a wider distribution
than it has this season. All reports
show that potatoes from this dis
trict were of universal excellence and
brought uniformly higher prices than
from any other part of the entire
gulf territory.
