BECKER BEGINS NEW BATTLE FOR HIS LIFE
Five Jurymen Selected to Try Former Police
 Lieutenant

New York. May 6.--Charles Becker, former police lieutenant and head of the famous "strongarm squad, today began his second battle to save him self from death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison as the instigator of the plot to murder Herman Rosen- thai, the gambler
 At the opening of the trial Becker's attorney made bitter attack on Dis trict Attorney Whitman in an effort to have him adjudged guilty of contempt of court. The attorneys claimed MT Whitman had tried to create sa preju- dicial atmosphere by giving stories to local newspapers branding as perjurers witnesses who appeared at the eleventh hour in an attempt to save the four gunmen, the actual murders of Rosen- ! thai. from the chair, This motion was denied, as were others requiring d change of venue and the dismissal oi the special panel of talesmen because they had heard the district attorney defend himself from the accusations of Becker's counsel
 Five Jurymen Selected
 At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon the entire panel had been exhausted and there were five jurors in the box. The five are:

To Turn Over Guns

William Diamond, union leader,
 speaking to a mass meeting of 300
 strikers at Starkville today declared
 that a shipment of 300 high power rifles and 60,00O rounds of ammuni- tion en route from New York to the United Mine Workers of America would be turned over to the federal troops immediately on the arrival of the con- signment.
 The strikers themselves. neither at Starkville nor at the San Rafael camp where a mass meeting of 200 strikers was held, indicated that they intend to give up their arms
 Today for the first time since the arrival of the troops animosity was shown them by the strikers. accord ing to one major. The auartermaster sergeant stationed at Forbes with two troops of the Eleventh cavalry report ed that the farmer from whom he had been purchasing supplies was warned by strikers to sell no more forage to the army. The farmer refused to sell milk, butter and eggs when the ser geant sent for them today.
 The lieutenant in command of the detachment immediately sent to the strikers tent colony at Forbes ana demanded an explanation. He got none, but informed the strikers that the United States army would buy supplies wherever it chose and guard was placed on the farmers property.

Cavalry Arrives

Late today the third squadron of the Eleventh cavalry from Fort Ogle- thorpe, Ga, composed of Companies T. K, l. and M, numbering about 300 men, arrived. after having been delayed by washouts in Oklahoma. They were un- der command of Major Howse.
 At the coroner's inquest today into the battle at Forbes and it's fatalities, witnesses were questioned concerning the number of strikers participating in the attack at Forbes, it having been established, according to Coroner Sipe. that the strikers first attacked the mine property. Testimony on this fact varied from estimates of 150 to 300 men. Because of the absence of inn portant witnesses. the hearing was ad- journed until Saturday morning. No important testimony was given today.
 When the United States speaks, said Major Holbrook to the strikers 1t is matter of serious moment. The President of the United States must be obeyed. We have soldiers and officers here to see that his command Is cbeyed We do not want to, nor do we in- tend to, shoot you men. Killing is a terrible thing. but if we must do it. then We will.

NEW DEAL Is NECESSARY

The long and short haul hearing
at Ocala this week, and which is to
be followed by another hearing at
kissimmee, will at least give the
people of the state some insight in
to railroad freight rates imposed up
on all who live between the large
centers Of trade. Edwin Spencer Jr.,
of Ocala, author of the long and short
haul bill, was present at the Ocala
hearing in behalf of the laws enforce
ment and he brought out some inter-
esting facts. In the first place he
showed by testimony Of the railway
witnesses that the rate on grain from
Philadelphia to Tampa was II cents
per hundred, while the rate on grain
from Jacksonville to Ocala was l )
cents Per hundred. The Seaboard
Air Lines vice president was also
made to admit that he could give no
reason why the rate on cigars from
Tampa to Jacksonville was less than
on the same goods from Tampa to
Ocala, less than half the distance.
II Mr.. Spencer doesn't get an order
from the Florida Railway Commits
sion enforcing the long and short
haul law, then the next thing in Or
der will be to abolish the commits
sion. Few, if any of us, have ever
seen any results of this commission
calculated to benefit the people, for
whose protection the commission was
| instituted News
The Star doesn't think it would be
salubrious to abolish the railroad
commission. The commission is q
body that can do good work for the
| people if it does its duty. The prop
er thing to do is to abolish the pres
ent commissioners and replace then
with men who will serve the people
instead Of the corporations.

RECORD DOESN'T SEEM
TO BE RECONCILED

Barlow Record: The much vaunt-
ed reduction in rates lately put into
effect by the express companies was
the biggest kind of a fake, as might
have been expected. Rates were re-
duced on the lighter commodities,
business which had already been lost
to the express companies through
the operation of the parcel post, but
they were increased on such business
as the parcel post was not prepared
to handle. The fruit growers and
truckers of Florida find that they
have been dumped out of the frying
pan into the fire, and are naturally
uncomfortable about it. They're wise
guys, those express companies, and
hard to circumvent, but the people
will not rest until they get their
rights.

w. T. SPENCER

The Rodman correspondent of the
Palatka News writes his paper as
follows:
Our community was shocked on
last Friday morning when it was
learned that Mr.. w. T. Spencer had
lost his life at the mill Mr.. Spencer
was foreman of the mill and COM
manded the friendship and esteem
Of his fellow employes-he had for
several years been connected with
the Rodman Lumber Co. as their
foreman, and was considered a most
valuable employee. He was a man
about 80 years old, leaving to mourn
his death a wife and four children.
His body was inferred in the Green
wood cemetery at Ocala last Satur-
day afternoon. Mr.. Spencer's men,

hearts and to the sorrowing family

the total mortality rate increasing

months ago, that Judge W. S. Bull
lock might be a candidate for Con-
gress in this district, the Star in
quired Of him, at that time. if there
was any foundation for the rumor,
and was assured there was not.
Several Of the judges friends having
again mentioned him in connection
with the candidacy, the Star again
interviewed him, and was decisively
informed that he would not be a
candidate under any condition. Mr.
Bullock is very popular man, has
made himself most highly respected
both as a citizen and a Judge and

present position, which he fills with
