BECKER'S SECOND TRIAL
 TO COMMENCE MAY 6
Attorney Shay Retires As Counsel for Condemned
 Ex-Lieutenant.

New York, April 15.-Wednesday, May 6, was tentatively fixed today for the beginning of the second trial of Charles Becker, the former police lieutenant, sentenced to die for in- stigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal but saved by court of ap- peals decision. Becker appeared in court, brought over from the Tombs, while District Attorney Whitman asked that the new trial be called as soon as possible.
 It was announced that M. T. Man. ton had succeeded Joseph A. Shay as chief counsel for Becker.
 It was expected that his mo- tion before Justice Seabury in the supreme court today would be opposed by Becker on the ground that his trial attorney was apt to retire from the defense and that new counsel would need more time in which to become familiar with the case.
 Joseph A. Shay, who became Becker's attorney following his convic- tion and who prepared the appeal upon which he gained new trial, yesterday notified the Becker family of his retirement from the case
 The district attorneys office is in- vestigating charges made in the con- fession of "Dago Frank" Cirofici a short time before he was put to death for his part in the murder of Rosen- thai. The police department today was requested to bring Dollar Bill' John Langer to headquarters for a conference. Langer personal friend of Rosenthal was marked by the gum men, according to unofficial reports of Cirofici's confession. Langer was sought by the gunmen, Cirofici said, on the day preceding the killing of Rosenthal.
 Funeral services for Cirofici were held today. Burial was in Westches- ter county cemetery.

CHURCH EDIFICE IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Sparks From Train on Berkshire Di- vision Believed to Have Been
 Cause of Destructive Flames.

Falls Village Conn.,, April 15.-The mission church of St. Patrick's, which is in charge of Rev. John Donahue of Lakeville, was burned today. The fire started from sparks, said to have fallen from the stack of the northbound passenger train over the Berkshire division due here at 9:3O. These sparks set the grass afire and the blaze crept up to the little wooden church and before it was noticed the structure was doomed. Neighbors fought with buckets of water. A beautiful Tiffany memorial window given by a Mrs. Goss of California, some time ago, was saved, as we'll as some of the furniture of the church. The loss is placed at $8,- 900. The church was the oldest be- tween Pittsfield and Bridgeport. Father Donahue says it will be re- built
 bit of church history is recalled by the loss of the church. It was resident parish church as far back as 1852 when Father Peter Kelly looked after the spiritual needs of Catholics in this northwestern part of the state.

OPEN WINDOW ROOMS
 PROVE BENEFICIAL
State Board of Health Com mends Experiment in Mid
 dletOWn Schools.

Hartford, April 15.-The beneficial
 results of open windows in school rooms as experimentally tried out the
 past winter in Middletown, is referred
 to by the state board of health today
 in its monthly bulletin issued by Sec retary Townsend The Middletown ex-
 pertinent was conducted by Sup. w. A. Wheatley, superintendent of schools
 there and embraced thirty-three
 graded rooms acconm odating 1,200
 pupils. In the first place MT. Wheat
 ley wrote a letter to parents asking
 their permission to conduct open win
 dow rooms.
 The rooms were kept heated and moderately warm, a temperature of
 seventy degrees maintained in the past being too excessive. The tenlpera>-
 ture was recorded each hour. No
 humidifying apparatus was used, but
 the outside air was depended upon to materially increase the moisture of the air inside. It has not been neces- sary to purchase extra clothing for the children. The windows in a scho oo1 room were opened on one side of the possible two or three supplied with l windows. The plan, says the bulletin,
 would have been more successful had
 the rooms been supplied with wind shields As it was it was necessary to
 abandon open windows on few days
 since there were no provisions against drafts.
 Mr. Wheatley feels that the pupils
 have been better physically, and more
 alert in their school work. No parent
 sent in a complaint because of colds
 said to have been contracted at school On the other hand numerous parents have reported an improved physical condition of their children. Nearly all the teachers have taken kindly to the plan and have CO., operated in making the experiment a
 success. The school room air is more
 wholesome and healthful than for
 merly. and better results still are ex- pected next season.
 The mortality report shows 1881 deaths in March which is POS more than in February and 127 more than
 in March of last year, and 156 more than the average number of deaths
 during March in the five years pre- cedtng. The rate was 1S.6 for the large towns and 15.4 for the small
 towns, or 18.6 for the state. Pneu-
 monia claimed 317, tuberculosis 15O, cerebro-spinal meningitis 46, bron-
 chitis 42,' cancer 89, and accidents and violence 82.
 Smallpox was still existent in March, six towns having fourteen cases. Scarlet fever claimed 282
 cases in 59 towns, measles 676 cases in AT towns, diphtheria 210 cases in l 34 towns, and tuberculosis 167 cases in 49 towns.
 The state laboratory examined 408 specimens sent to it, and analysed 285 specimens of milk, in addition to | its other work.

FTREMEN ARE WORRIED.
Today Is Pay Day But They Cannot
 Collect Until After City Meeting.

Most of the fremen in the city de- partment are expressing much worry about making both ends meet" today. Today is the regular pay day but there is nothing doing for the smoke eaters, as they will have to wait until the city meeting is called and an appropriation is voted before they can collect. This will make it so that they will receive four weeks pay in a lump.
 This mixup occurs every year. The outgoing administration council has completed all it's business and theo- retically there is no money in the treasury until some is voted. Hence the firemen, as we'll as their creditors have to wait

Ourselves

The majority of the students
of Hartley, Livingston and Fur
maid Halls, Columbia College,
have signified their Willingness
to make their own beds and tidy
their rooms Sundays, In order
that the faithful maids may have
a day off.
There is nothing so VERY un-
usual about this, save the fact
that 1t Is n bit out of a mans
line to make beds and ''straighten
up" bedrooms. This, however, is
no reason why n man should NOT
know how to do these things,
and the Columbia boys who spend
their Sunday mornings doing
up" their own 'boudoirs" will
learn things which may stand
them in good stead in after life.
The students at West Point
look after their own rooms, SO
do the Annapolis lads, so you see
the manly art of bed-making is
not n new thing.
Very few people men or
women-make n bed properly.
They do not tuck the coVerlids In
enough or else they tuck too
much under.
making Is one of the fine
arts. Set your husband to work
next Sunday and see how he
makes out.
