 Lozano, minister of communications whose resignation followed the sup pressioa of the Catholic organ, E. Pais. of which he was part owner, has been forbidden to leave Mexico City and is followed .erywhere by secret service men. Lo ino, although a reaotionary, is a very able man and has been considered Huertas right hand man. He was expected to arrive here this morning, a fugitive like Dr. Urrutia, but failed to app pear.
 Rumors are current of quarrel between Huerta and General Pena who succeeded General Maas in con- mand of the federal forces just out side of the American lines. Pena got his appointment because of hls hatred for Americans. but Huer'H dislikes him because he has been strong Madero man. Canbigo AgullaI who turned rebel following the as sassination of Madero, is now operat ing i'm the same section and his mer have been reported riding inside Pena's lines as though there Wer' an understanding between them.

 Mrs Becker collapsed when the yer dict was carried to her in the sheriffs guard room on the floor above the room in which the dramatic end was reached.
 My Ged, guilty!" she cried.
 Tonight she was said to be in a semi-conscious condition. She has not seen her husband since the verdict was rendered.
 Handcuffed to two deputy sheriffs, Becker was immediately hurried over to the Tombs and locked up. He de- cined to make any statement. Jus tice Seabury fixed May 29 as the day for passing sentence.
 
 Becker heard his doom with the same iron nerve which has charHc- terized his actions since he was frs. arrested for the Rosenthal murder. He coughed slightly when brought into the court room to hear the yer dict. He received it full in the face gazing intensely at Foreman F. B. Blagen. His only display Of emotion was slight movement of the muscles of his throat. He recovered himself quickly, and in a firm voice answer ed cierk Penny's questions when lis pedigree was taken. He grasred the extended hand of Attorney Manton, his chief counsel, and smiled Grirnlv. Several of his friends at once wer5 to his side.

A final glimpse of the ex-chief of the "strong arm squadron was had just as he stoDpo'i on the bridge. He lifted bc'h of h's manacleh hands to him neck and tugged at his collar like a man Sui focating.
 Back in the Tombs he sent out word that he would see no one. Word was brought back, however, that he was calm and bearing up well under the blow.
 Six Months for Appeal.
 Manton, for the defense, announced immediately after the jury had been dismissed that an appeal would be ,aken on "mamy grounds" In the or dlnary course of events six months will be allowed in which to file the anneal. After that IS months more VIII in all probability elapse before the court of appeals hands down it's decision. Meanwhile, Becker will sc
