In the trial of Charles Becker, the
former New York lieutenant of police,
the jury last Friday again returned a
verdict Of guilty of murder and the
penalty will be death in the electric
chair unless fate again intervenes to
save him. In the first trial he was
found guilty and sentence of death
pronounced upon him, but recent
events seemed to indicate that he had
been the victim of false evidence and
he was granted a new trial. In the
last instance couple of former wit
hesses for the defense appeared upon
the side of the state and produced
damaging evidence against him as
the arch consplrator who planned the
murder of Rosenthal and saw that it
was committed by the four gunner
who were later executed. This
murder awoke New York to realiza-
ton of the corruption and graft exist
ing in its police department, Becker
being apparently one Of the large
benefciaries, and opened new era
of police reform.

THE MEDlAToRs AT WORK.

The mediators, who are in session
at Niagara Falls, Canada, attempt
ing to decide whether the Mexican
troubles can be adjusted without a
war between that country and the
United States, are meeting with
rather meagre success, and naturally
so. perhaps, as the situation is hard
one to solve. One of the propositions
last week considered was for the APP
p0intment of a board, or commission,
consisting of three or five men, to
succeed Huerta in the government of
the republic, the commission to re-
ceive the hearty support of the United
States and the several powers Of
South America. In the elections, to
be called later, Huerta, Carranza,
Villa and others who have been lead
ers in the present conflict, would not
be permitted to appear as candidates.
Should it be possible to get Mexican
agreement to such a proposition, a
land bill would be recomme nded for
enactment, couched in general terms,
embodying principles which, in the
Judgment of the United States should
be observed in breaking up the great
landed aristocracy in that country and
the redistribution of the land of
Mexico among the people.
1t was announced that both Huerta
and Carranza would agree to such an
arrangement, but this has been later
denied. Carranza insists that with the
constant string of victories his army
has met with at Torreon, Tampico
Saltillo and elsewhere, it is only a
matter of short time until Mexico
City will be in his hands and with
the capture of that capital he will be
in control and Huerta slain or put to
flight.
The delegates believe that even if
the Huerta government should col
lapse and a new one be set up by the
constitutionalists it cannot last long,
if not recognized by the United States
and the world powers, and that new
revolution would be inevitable.
For that reason the next week or
so may see some important develop
ment in the situation.

ALLIES CoNFIDEN"
London, Oct. 16.-Wh'

London, Oct. 16.-Wh' almost impossible to secun, formation of definite results from the battle front which is now practically a connected line from near 0stend on the North sea to Southern Alsace, it is known that the German front is farther north than it has been at any time since the operations against Paris ceased.
 It is also known that there is a feeling of confidence at the War Offices here and in France, though there is still uneasiness on account of the advance of the Germans along the coast. Peo- pie are flying from the country threatened by this movement.
 Germans have given way on the front during the present week, but they still occupy strong positions, and the ally ad- vances have been slow every where.
 The artillery duel continues along the line, and in the vicin- ity of Rheims it has been severe the last two days.

BUNNELL WARMLY
 WELCOMED IN JUNEAU

Charles E. Bunnell, Democratic nom- inee for Delegate to Congress arrived in Juneau on the Jefferson-last even- ing, and is staying at the Alaskan Ho. tel. The reception committee, head ed by Gov. J. F. A. Strong, and au- gumented by large number of friends met MT. Bunnell at the dock and es- corted him up to his hotel.
 Mir Bunnell is looking fine, and is much encouraged over his visit into what has been popularly supposed was the enemy's camp. The Panama Val. Hey was nice to Mir. Bunnell A cam paign of several days on the creeks demonstrated that in every one of the place he visited he had personal friends who had known him at Valdez, or whom he had met in some part of the Territory.
 Large meeings were held at all the camps.
 In Fairbanks he had much the same experience as on the creeks, but on larger scale. A reception and ball giv- en in his honor was attended by more than 500 people, and at the public meeting on another occasion he ad- dressed ovec 500.
 All the way up the Yukon he was received in a most friendly manner and a great deal of interest was mani fested in his campaign as well as in the administration policy toward AL aska.
 The people of Skagway also gave a public reception and dance in his hon or which was a very enjoyable affair At both the Skagway and Haines meet ings the attendance was fully fifty per cent. larger than that credited to the meetings held for Delegate Wick ersham in the same towns only few days ago.
 The date for Mir. Bunnelrs address in Juneau will be set after a confer ence between the various committees and the Juneau Democratic club, which is to be held in the Juneau Democrat ic headquarters tonight
 According to present plans Mir. Bun nell will be in Juneau three or four days before proceeding to the South ern end of the district.

SIGNS INDICATE THAT
 WAR WILL BE LONG

One sign indicating the belief of the involved powers that this is to be a long war is the signing of decrees permitting the enlistment of youths.
 The French government recently issued an order allowing the mother, or legal guardian of a young man un- der the age of twenty to sign, in the absence of his father, papers permit ting the lad to enter the army.
 Dispatches from Vienna previously had reported that the aged Emperor Francis Joseph, had signed similar decree and quoted the venerable rul. CT as announcing that nothing in all his life had caused him more sorrow.
 Germany apparently is resorting to the same expedient News reports from France stating that among the wounded in Bordeaux was found q young German soldier who was fif- teen years and nine months old
 That it should have been found nec- essary to recruit soldiers at such ten der years so early in the war indi- cates the tremendous drain that the war has made upon the countries in- volved.
 < No modern nation would send its boys to battle unless it felt that it's very existence depended upon the re. suit of the conflict.
 These lads, of course. will not be in action, save in rare instances, for many months. They are being trained now to fill the gaps in the various armies, recruited primarily from among the ranks of the young men.
 Should this struggle be continued for a year or more, the number of lads in the battle will be enormous. This has been the history of every protracted struggle and 1t unquestion. ably will be the history of this.--seat- tle Times.

WILSON
 LOOKS FOR PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-President Woodrow Wilson spoke in very opti- mistic terms this morning with refer ence to the improved business condi- tions of the country. He told callers that there are many evidences in all sections of the United States of im- proved business conditions.
 The President said that the demand for goods of American manufacture abroad shows marked increase this month over previous conditions.
 The preliminary figures of the De- partment of Commerce show that the exports of the United States for Sep tember were more than S45,0O0,O00 in excess of those for August.
 The President expects to see Amer ican business conditions continue to improve, and says that all the reports from every branch of finance, com merce and industry indicate that 1915 will be an exceptionally prosperous year in the United States.
