WILL NOT HELP BECKER
NEW YORK GUNMAN'S CONFESS
SION WILL NOT AID HIM.
District Attorney Whitman Will Con-
slider 1t as "Heresay" Evidence,
and Therefore InadmissibIe.

NEW YORK. -'fDago Frank" Cir
ofici's confession, made a few hours
before he was executed for his part
in the murder of Herman ROsenthal,
will not be permitted to interfere
with the plans of District Attorney
Whitman for the second trial Of for
mer Police Lieutenant Charles Beck
er. Mr.. Whitman holds the confess
sion to be heresay evidence and
therefore inadmissible either in the
defense of Becker, who is charged
with having instigated the murder OF
Rosenthal or in the prosecution of
Harry WALTON.
VaIlon, according to the official
version of Cirofcis confession to
Warden Clancy of Sing Sing prison,
fred one of the shots that killed Ros-
enthaI. 1t was Vallon's testimony
together with that given by Bridge
Weber and Jack Rose that led to
the conviction of the four gunner.
John F. Mcintyre, who was leading
counsel for Becker at his first trial,
is of the same opinion as Whitman
concerning the availability of the
Cirofici confession as evidence.
When Vallon was granted immunl-
ty District Attorney Whitman stip-
uIated that if it was subsequently
shown that he had actually fired up
on Rosenthal the immunity would no
longer hold and he must face trial
for murder. Mr.. Whitman called at
tention to the provisions of this
agreement today when commenting
on "Dago Franks" confession.

BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS
ON AUTOS PROTESTED
Danger to Those Approaching Are
Pointed Out by Capital
Drivers.
Lack of Courtesy on Part of Some
Cited-Reform in Prac-
tices Urged.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
wish, through your columns. to enter
protest against the use Of extremely
brilliant electric headlights such as are
employed on recent models OF automo-
biles, as being very dangerous to other
users of the road. Take, for example. the
car which was driven over the bank on
Sunday, June I. through the chauffeur
becoming confused by the brilliant head
lights of an approaching automobile. l
came down Conduit road from Glen Echo
about one-half hour after this accident
happened. and l had to jam my car out
on the edge of the road and come prac-
tically to a standstill six times between
Glen Echo and the city. due to being
blinded by the brilliancy Of headlights OF
approaching machines, the drivers OF
which seemed to disregard utterly the
rights of other users of the road, swing
ing around the reverse curves at fairly
high speed, and to a man. coming around
the outside of these curves they appeared
to bear directly down upon him with the
light right in his face, so that he could
not see where to drive.
1t is not necessary to the safety of a
person driving a car to illuminate the
which will illuminate the road for from
100 to 200 feet would give man ample
time If going at reasonable speed to stop
his car without danger to himself, while
the extremely brilliant lights are exceed
ingly dangerous to persons driving the
road in a direction opposite to the lights.

I wish to bring to your attention and

In the early days of automobiles there

no reason for binding an approaching
driver with headlights. Practically all
automobiles manufactured for the last
two seasons are electrically equipped,

That much danger should exist from
cause that requires such a small eff
