London, May 21.-An attempt by
militant suffragettes to present a pc
tition to King George at Buckingham
palace today failed but not until a
battle had been fought which for
fierceness surpassed any previous mil
liant demonstration. The police pre-
cautions had been directed toward re-
polling an assault from the direction
of Westminster, where the ragettes
had advertised that they would form
a parade. Instead, a small body, known
because of their militant record, as
''gunwomen' burst from a residence
on Hyde Park and forced their way
through the archway at the top of
Constitution hill before the small squad
of police on duty there had time to
collect.

Representative Now
At Montreal, Canada,
On Another Mission

Washington, May 21.-The Consti-
tutionalists are preparing to send q
representative to Niagara Falls to
confer with the South American me-
diators, who are endeavoring to set
tie the Mexican problem. Thi will be
done with the distinct understanding
that the representative is to give In
formation as to General Carranza's
purpose without committing the Con-
stitutionalists to any plan for the
pacification of Mexico that the media
tors may determine upon.
Jose Vasconcelos, now at Montreal
on a financial mission for Gen. Car
rama, is understood to be the man
chosen to go to Niagara Falls It
was said tonight by men In close
touch with the Constitutionalists that
he would arrive there within the next

Expect Quick Verdict

All that now remains Is the charg-
ing of the jury by Justice Seabury.
This will begin upon the resumption of
the proceedings tomorrow. Both Dis
triet Attorney Whitman and Counsel
for Becker expect a quick verdict.
In his argument Attorney Manton
attacked the testimony of Bald jack
Rose. He pointed out what he said
was glaring inconsistencies In Roses
story and declared that the witness had
mentioned at the present trial many
things that were omitted at the first
trial.
Manton Landed Jack Sullivan, the
''king of the newsboys,, for the tes-
timony he gave in Beckers behalf and
then made a bitter attack on Pitt.
Becker's former press agent, friend
and adviser.
In conclusion, Mr.. Manton said
Gentlemen, 1 want you to set this
man free with an apology for the way
he has been treated by the City of New
York or l want you to send him to the
electric chair. If he is guilty he should
go to the chair. But he is not guilty
All Charles Becker and | ask from you
is simple justice"
District Attorney Whitman early in
his long address to the jury tonight,
attacked the motive presented by the
defence for the Staying of Rosenthal-
that the gambler died in a war among
gamblers.
From the viewpoint of the state IT
was not a gambler who died. but a
states witness, said the prosecutor
and no testimony had been present
ed to indicate anything else than that
Rosenthal was killed because he was
about to be a witness. If Becker was
not the murderer. declared Mr.. Whit
man. then he lWhitman) could not
see what motive there could be behind
the killing.
Defending the charge that he had en-
tered into an agreement with the under
world in order TO "get Becker" the pros
ecutor said he believed Rose and Weber
and Vallon were implicated in the muir
der. but he had no evidence against
them
He defended his action in granting the
three immunity in return for the truth
and emphasized that It was done with
the knowledge and consent of the court
With the gunner and Becker they made
eight in the murder conspiracy. he said,
adding: TT was a question of letting

Assurances from Roosevelt

Mr.. Mellen told at length the story
of his steamship transactions with
Charles W. Morse. Concerning these,
he explained, he felt it desirable to
confer with Col Roosevelt, who then
was President of the United States.
He told the President that he lad re-
ceivod an offer of 500, 000, 900 from Morse
for he New Haven steamship holdings
and felt inclined to accept it, because
thus the New Haven would be able to
make on the property into cash. Mr.
Mellen said he was frankly appre
hensive at that time of the enactment
of a law by Congress TO prevent rail-
raods from owning or controlling wa
ter lines. but he was assured by Mr..
Roosevelt that, SO long as the law re-
manned as 1t then WIS, the New
Haven need have no fear about its
water line holdings.
Trolley Line Utility
In the acquisition of various trolley
lines in New England. Mr. Mellen said
he had proceeded upon the theory that
transportation, particularly through
densely populated sections, might be
better handled on electric Inns than
on steam roads. He pointed out that
great passenger stations and necessary
terminal facilities of steam railroads,
especially in cities of considerable
size, were enormously expensive to
acquire and to maintain. He had
been convinced that the diversion of
much OF the traffic of steam roads to
electrified lines would be more econom-
ical, the rates lower and the service
generally more satisfactory to the
public.
Late in the day the witness atten-
ton again was directed to campaign
contributions made by the New Hav-
en- to the Republican national commit
tees Of 1900 and 1904. He reiterated
statements which he had made previ-
ousiy.
When asked why he relinquished the
presidency of the New Haven, Mr..

secrets, but refused to disclose all,
notably that which is most interesting
to yachtsmen-the sail area of the

ever, makes it evident that the sail
