SAY PROJECT AT LOCK 17 ON
 BLACK WARRIOR IS VERY
 DESIRABLE WORK-RANSDELL RECOMMENDS APPROPRIATION

Washington. September 14-(Speoial.) rior river, is ''very desirable work is the main feature of a report presented today by the committee on rivers anl harbors by the office of the chief of en- gineers of the war department, although the report was withheld till tomorrow by Chairman Sparkman Of the committee, and the engineers office said all informa- ton must come from the committee, the correspondent of The Age-Herald ascer- tained this much from sources whose au- thority cannot be questioned.
 At the same time the engineers declined to recommend whether or noty Senator Bankheads joint resolution should be favorably reported to the House, leaving that point entirely to the discretion os the committee The resolution provides that the contractors may continue the work at their own risk, on chance of being paid through passage of the rivers and harbors bill.
 Ask for Data
 Before taking action on the resolution. the committee asked the engineers for data in regard to the work, and this re- port has just been submitted. In it are given the figures of appropriations and expenditures on the work to date. to- gether with the comment that it is a very desirable work. This view also has been taken by the Senate commerce commlt- tee which has left the item intact in it's revision of the House bill.
 Despite the republican antagonism to the measure, such democratic leaders as Senator Simmons, acting chairman of the commerce committee are confident that the bill will be passed by the Senate virtually as revised by the committee

OPINIONS HANDED DOWN WTTMAN AFTER BECKER
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS STATE
MENT OF DYING GUNMEN WILL
AID IN PROSECUTION.

New York, April t4.LDistriet Attor-
day that the statement "Dago" Frank
Cirofiei made just before his electro
eution in Sin Sing prison Monday will
aid materially in re-eonvieting Police
Lieutenant Becker at his coming see
ond trial on the charge of instigating
the murder Of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler.
"It was true, of course" Whitman
remarked, "that Cirofici said: So far
as / know Becker had nothing to do
with this ease.''' But he pointed out
that cireumstantially, the dying gun
mans statement eontradiets no essent-
part of "Bridgis" Webber's and
Harry vallon's stories on the witness
stand at Beeker's first trial and that it
positively confirms "Jaek" Rose Is YER
sion.
The district attorney added that he
did not intend to act against Vallon,
despite Cirofiei's statement that he
chad been told" he was one Of the
men who shot .Rosenthal. He consid-
cred the assertion entirely too vague
TO warrant an arrest Whitman's IS per-
sonal opinion, in view of Cirofici %
story, he said, was that "Gyp the
Blood" Horowitz and "Lefty Louie" "
Roseberg did the actual killing.
Whitman was expected to move to-
morrow for the setting Of Becker's Sec
ond trial for May 4.
Becker himself, would not discuss the
gunmen's eleetroeution. Ite said he
was too busy going through the evil
denee in his case in search Of every
thing that might help him when it
comes up for retrial.
1t seemed likely today that Becker IS
lawyer, Joseph Shay, would withdraw
from the, ease. He had an interview
with his client in the Tombs yesterday
and afterward said that "certain
things have occurred which are not to
my liking"

told d. T. Harding. recorder of New

into q community after the first of

assessor and that official must then
assess it. A penalty is provided by law
for failure to make such report to the

out to the effect that Chapter 176 of

provides that correspondence schools
