CONFESSION WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH
 TRIAL OF |. BECKER
"Dago Franks" Statement Hearsay Evidence, Says District Attorney
 Whitman

New York, April 1s.-The confession of "Dago Frank" Cirofici, made a few hours before he was executed for the part he played in the murder of Herman Rosen- thai, will not be permitted to interfere in the plans of District Attorney Charles $. Whitman for the second trial of for mer Police Lieutenant Charles Becker.
 Whitman holds the confession to be hearsay evidence and. therefore. inadmis- stble. either in the defense of Becker. who is charged with having instigated the murder of Rosenthal, or in the prosecu- tion of Harry Vallon.
 Nallon, according to the official version Of ciroficis confession to Warden Clancy. Of Sing Sing prison. fired one of the shots that killed Rosenthal. It was vallon's testimony, together with that given by "Bridgie' Webber and Jack Rose, that led to the conviction of the four gun men
 The trial of Becker will begin on May fl Justice Seabury grants the motion of MT Whitman. The district attorney. when he makes the motion, will also ask for special venire of talesmen from which to select jury.
 Might Use Confession
 John F. Mcintyre. who was leading counsel for Becker at his first trial. is of tde same opinion as District Attorney Whitman concerning the availability of the Cirofci confession as evidence. Me lniyre believes, however, that it might be used as a dying declaration if ordered in evidence by the presiding judge.
 Bernard H. Sander. attorney for Val ion, declared that the confession ss a le- gal document was worthless. Sander said that Vallon would be ready to testify at

REBELS VICTORIOUS IN DESPERATE FIGHT
 AROUND SAN PEDRO
tContinued From Page one)

progress there were persistent reports that federal endorsements were draw Ing near. General Velasco feared they would be cut to pieces and withdrew n eXcellent-~ order from the city, all ttnough his loss in killed and wounded was considerably less than that of the rebels. He headed east and south. and Tor time the rebel pursuers over whom he had a start of 10 or 12 hours. were unable to locate him. He was first definitely observed at Wiesca. a sta tion on the southernmost end of the three railway lines running between Torreon and Saltillo and it's southern environs.
 Detachment Repulsed
 Meanwhile rebel column had oc- cupied San Pedro, near lake on the northernmost of the railway lines. about 50 miles north of the southern line. The first detachment sent against the city by General Villa was repulsed after four days of desultory fighting, but when rebel endorsements arrived the federals fled eastward a short dis l tance.
 | Villa left a garrison in the town. 1 but it was unable to withstand the onslaught of a new column of federal
 volunteers under Gems. Benjamin Ar
 sumedo and Emilio P. Campa. While
 these fights were taking place ve-
 lasco moved up to Parras and it Is now assumed cut across from that point
 to San Pedro, where general engage
 ment is reported to have been brought
 on last night.
 Back of line running approximate e. ly north and south through Parras and. San Pedro there is 50 miles of waterless desert. which must be crossed before the fertile fields of Saltillo are reached. The federals were supposed to be headed for that city.

 What happened after the climax of the battle last night is left to con- lecture It is assumed that the federals withdrew to. one of. their earlier posi- tions and that both sides are busy with their wounded and dead
 A telegram from General Benavides gives the rebel loss as $50 killed and wounded. It may be impossible to clear up the discrepancy tonight, but it is pointed out as unlikely that the rebels could lose half their force in wounded alone.
 Another telegram. source unidenti- fled. places the federal loss at $500 killed, wounded and taken prisoners Other reports have it that property of the Madero family in San Pedro was destroyed by the federals, as well as property of other rebel sympathizers
 Another report had it that the fed erals. defeated all along the line, re- treated toward Monterey. To do this they will have to cross 50 miles of des- ert hardship for which they are not equipped, it is said

II has been understood from the be- ginning. says the court. that whichever way this case was decided by me. 1t would be taken 10 the supreme court.

 When the slayer of Stanford White en- tered this state last September after his ceportation from Canada, he was arrest ed by the state authorities. To prevent hts extradition to New York his attor- neys petitioned for a writ of habeas cor pus, this proceeding automatically plac- ing the case in federal jurisdiction. and acting as stay to the extradition, which was granted by Governor Felker.
 Later the fugitive applied for admit tance to bail on the ground that d con spiriacy to escape from the insane asylum at Matteawan, the alleged offense on which extradition proceedings were based, Was bailabe.

thc Becker trial should he be summoned
 When Vallon was granted immunity, District Attorney. Whitman stipulated that if il was subsequently, shown that he had actually fired upon Rosenthal, that the immunity would nc longer hold. and he must face trial for murder in first de gree.
 Whitman called attention to the provi- s.ons of this agreement today when com menting on "Dago Franks" confession.
 Lieutenant Becker. from his cell in the Tombs prison. refuses to discuss the exc eution of the four gunmen or comment on the confession of Cirohci
 Another Name Brought In
 Another name brought into the Rosen- thai case by an unofficial report of ''Dago Franks" confession Is that of Cirofiei say that the gunmen went to Rockaway "to do up Langera before the murder of Rosenthal
 Langer who was Il personal friend of the murdered gambler said last night that he did not know the gunmen were after him until the day following the murder of Rosenthal. He could not recall yesterday whether he was at Rockaway on the day the gunmen went there to get him.
 Langer's name Is said to have been mentioned 10 District Attorney Whitman by Rosenthal as one of the men who could corroborate his statements concern ing Becker's alleged graft operations from gamblers.
 The arrival of the bodies of the dead gunmen al various East Side undertaking establishments yesterday drew enormous crowds.
 The funeral of "Whitey Lewis" Seid- enshner yesterday afternoon was the sig nal for the first crowd to assemble.
 Reserves Called Out
 Advice that the body of Harry Haro- witz, "Gyp the Blood" was in Len nox avenue morgue. caused a throng to gather In that street, and police reserves had to be called out to preserve order
 Funeral services for "Gyp the Blood were held today early.
 The burial of 'Daso Frank Ciroho probably will occur sometime today, as will that of Lefty Louis" Rosenberg
 From until 10 o'clock last night a cu- rious throng filed past the coffin eontain- ing the body of 'Dago Frank" There was no disorder. Friends of the dead man viewed the body early today. after which 1t was removed to his mothers s home in the Bronx.
 shortly before "Daso Frank" Cironci went to the death chair he told Warden Clancey that 'Gyp the Blood Horowitz Lefty Louie" Rosenberg and Harry Val lon. an informer. fired the shots which killed Herman Rosenthal.
