Victor Grimwood's roam Shortcake, nd
den by little Carolyn Straus, and the
others placed were Maurice Goodman's
BIN BAN, Joseph E. Meyers Gold Dust
and Miss Vera Cornel's Sterling.
In succeeding pony class young
Carolyn Straus was not so fortunate,
for her mount this time-Mrs. Grim
woods gray gelding Silver Bobs took
a dislike to the camera men and gave a
display of shying and boiling that
finally led to its Punishment from the
ring. The young rider was once un-
horsed, but remounted, and her pluck
deserved better reward. The winner
was J. Coke Brady's bay Lady Mine,

Never Doubted Becker's
Guilt, Says Whitman

Albany, July 2S.-"Justice Ford
did the only thing he could do. The
evidence was conclusive. l never
had a doubt of Becker's guilt. If
had any doubt now | would pardon
him"
This was what Governor Whit
man said to The Tribune correspon-
dent tonight when he brought him
the news.
Friends of the Governor say moth
ing in his career has been such a
strain on him as the Becker case.
Well meaning women from almost
every section of the state have writ
ten the Governor urging clemsncy.
The burden of their plea was that
Becker's domestic life had been so
pure and happy.
Those familiar with the case know
that had Becker taken the stand he
would have been asked about his
domestic life. His first wife died
suddenly. His second divorced him.
From a friend of the Governor il
was learned that Becker from the
moment his trial started was will
ing at all times to plead guilty TO
murder in the second degree. Only
a few weeks ago he offered to tell
what he knew about graft in the
Police Department and outside of it
If the Governor would commute his
sentence TO life Imprisonment.
The Governor has evidence in his
possession, given to him recently
by two of the many lawyers who
were counsel at one time or an
other for some of the men mixed
up in the Rosenthal murder, prov
ing that Becker had sent counsel to
two of the men involved the mo-
ment of their arrest.

At a late hour last night only one
man had answered the advertisement
of Mrs. Martha Stevens, the lonely
widow seeking a eugenic mate to share
her handsome home at 697 Elmore

The applicant stated in large, bold
script that his name was Gus Zandel
and he was a Swede; that he was a
widower, aged ffty-fve making him a
few years younger than his prospec-
tive BRIDE and that he could furnish
the best of references.

Breaks Window, Then Es.
capes as Police Strug-
gle in Crowd.

A window smashing jewel thief on
brightly lighted Westchester Avenue
made use of the crowd on the street
last night to battle policemen who pur-
sued him. He got away with almost
81 800 worth of gems and watches from
the shop Of William Schneiderman, at
954 Westchester Avenue.
The Schneiderman shop Is at the
foot Of the stairs of the lntervale Ave
nue. subway station. 1t is busy neigh
borhood, and Mr.. Schnelderman doesn't
lock his door until late in the evening.
Several customers were in the place
when there came a thud and tinkle of
glass. Mr.. Schnederman, his wife and
the customers gaZed fascinated at
grimy hand which entered the broken
pane twice and scooped up generous
fistfuls of jewels.
By the time the Schneidermans and
their customers reached the door it
seemed that all The Bronx was in hot
pursuit of the thief.
In the crowd were Detectives Nc
Grath, Armstrong and Quick and Pa
trolman Fisher. They were less than
half a block away when the thief
grabbed the jewels, but by the time
they reached the spot the crowd had
hemmed them in.
East on Westchester Avenue TO
Kelly Street and south 10 an apart
ment house near 1881 Street the crowd
ran. Several declared the thief had
lodged into the cellar of the house,
and the policemen went through il in
an unsuccessful search.
Back at the jewelry shop Mr.. Schnei-
derman was facing new troubles. Dia-
monds and splinters Of glass litterd
the sidewalk. The jeweller had less
than five minutes 10 himself before
the crowd returned. He was paving
frantically in the debris when the
throng pushed him aside. Before the
police got back dozens of boys and
girls had snatched souvenirs of the oc-
casion which may prove to be glass
and may be diamonds.
The wedding was a social event,
many of the guests coming from New
York. Among them were the Prince
Ia Princess Auersperg, Countess Won
Rittberg, wife Of the hofmarshal of the
Prince Won Lippe-Demold, and Mr. and
Mrs. Charles K. Flint. The baron was
associated with Mr.. Flint as contiden-
tial agent until about year ago. He
was thirty-four and the baroness TWEEN
ty-two years old at the time of the
marriage.
Baron Won Zglinitzki is described as
a man of attractive personality. He
traces his family back TO the year
1890 A. d. He speaks five languages,
and his expert workmanship was
proved IN duel shortly be-
fore he came to this country.
He served two years in the nus
sars and four years in the First
Guard. During the Spanish American
War the baron offered his services to
the United States. He was offered a
place in the infantry branch of the
service, which he declined as below his
station, explaining that in his country
the infantry is the lowest grade.
Baron and Baroness Won Zglinitzki
have one child, Katharine, who is seven
years old.

SING SING WAYS
WIN DIR. DAVIS
During Visit She Praises Warden
and Spiritual Change
Among COnvictS.

From a stan Correspondent Of The Tribune.
Oseining, y. Y. July 2S.-Katharine
3. Davis, Commissioner of Charities
Of New York City, paid her first visit
to Sing Sing to-day since the regime
of Warden Thomas Mott Osborne be-
gan. Miss Davis was impressed by the
warden's sociological experiment; in
deed she said he had brought about
revolution" She said what impressed
her most about the prison was the
spiritual change" in the men.
At the same time, though. she admit
ted she did not think q scheme such as
the Mutual Welfare League would work
well on Blackweps Island.
Miss Davis drove up in the motor
car furnished her by the city, in com
pany with Miss Mary b. Harris, SUI
perlntendent of the women's depart
ment on Blackwell's Island, and Miss
Anna Weatherford. Californian. who
is writer. The Commissioner paid
special attention to one or two feat
ures. One Of these was the remarkably
successful store begun by the Mutual
Welfare League, with a capital of moth
ing. and which now does business Of
some 81 500 monthly. Another was the
recreation of the men.
Miss Davis said her prisons were
cleaner than Sing Sing. But she went
on to praise Warden Osborne and
Deputy Warden Johnson by adding:
THE thing that impressed me most
was the spiritual change in the men
here. think men like Mr. Osborne
and Mr. Johnson could go into any in
stitution and succeed where others
would fail"
She said she could not gain much in
formation in the way of plans for rec
reation. as baseball seemed to be the
chief sport at Sing Sing, and it would
be difficult to play this on the island.
where the resounding shouts of the
convict fans would disturb the people
in the hospitals.
Commissioner Davis was quoted last
week as saying she did not wish her
institutions to become like Sing Sing.
as she understood women were always
'nsulted when they visited the prison.
To-day at the end of her visit she said
she had not been inSulted at all

Controller Prendergast will ask the
Board of Estimate to-day to request
the City College trustees to consider
the advisability of having students
there buy their textbooks instead of
having them provided by the city.
The Controller contends that the
argument to make high school pupils
purchase books applies also to the
students in the college. The Controller
estimates City College has invested
$4,000 in free books and says the sys-
TEN costs $4,000 a year.
