manned silent all during the. days OF
Becker's accusation and. first trial
without coming forward to- his as
sistanceris the most serious reflection
upon the validity of this late. plea OF
the former police, officer. Tim Sulli-
van was not the, kind of man to stand
|by and see another unjustly accused
of crime or "railroaded" to the cleo
trio chair when he could by his tes-
timon1y save him. Sullivan's silence
must be interpreted as signifying that
he could not have saved Becker if he
had spoken and thus brought his own
rrame. into the Rosentf1al case.

No New Trial for Becker.

Justice Ford's denial of a new trial
to former Police Lieutenant Becker
doubtless means that the condemned
man will be executed tomorrow
morning at Sing Sing prison for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal three
years ago. There was some reason
to think that the justice would grant
the petition on ground of an "inher-
ent" right of the court to perfect its
proceedings regardless of statutory
processes and limitations. The tech
nical question before him was
whether the affidavits presented the
other day comprised new evidence in
the sense of facts previously I'M
known, but newly discovered. The
only important fact was that of the
after-midnight meeting between
Becker and the late Tim Sullivan
about twenty-four hours preceding
Rosenthars murder. But Becker
knew of this meeting, of course, and
chose not to disclose it at either the
first or second trial. His silence was
of his own choosing, and under the
law he cannot now bring forward
facts that he deliberately withheld
previously. 1t does not follow that
the admission of the meeting between
Becker and Sullivan would save the
ex-lieutenant's life on q third trial.
Becker claims that at that meeting
he took the position that Rosenthal
should not Be kidnapped o. seat zw4y
from New York, as his absence would
be more harmful thaa his presence.
He claims Shat tisis proves that h
had no tsfpcse to secure kosentissl

The National Defense.

-. Two statements appeared in print
yesterday on the all-important sub
ject of the national defense. One was
by Secretary Garrison, who is pre-
pairing recommendations to Congress,
and the other by Representative Hay
of Virginia, who probably will again
be chairman of the House military
committee.
The Secretary of War speaks very
persuasively. AS he sees the matter,
the point at this time in public dis
cussion is to show that the national
defense is inadequate and should be
strengthened. Details will come
later. AS yet, they have not been
agreed upon. Those charged with
the duty of arranging them are now
at work, and will be ready in time
with their reports. Piecemeal dis
cussion. and based largely on hear
say and unofficial suggestions, is alto
gether inadvisable. 1t may confuse
and hurt rather than help the cause.
Hitherto Mr.. Hay has not been
sympathetic toward appeals for in
oreases in our fighting establishments.
but he has now thus declared him
self to representative of The Star ::
Whatever is necessary from a
common-sense standpoint with re-
gard to an adequate army or a
larger army, am willing to- do"
Like many others. Mr.. Hay has
probably been studying the question
in the light of the European war,
and his future course will be Unfit
enced by the developments of that
titanic struggle. and be in harmony
with the administrators policies.
The Star on Tuesday pointed out
the importance of the committee O.,
military affairs and that on naval af-
fairs in the new House, and this in
terwiew with Mr.. Hay emphasizes
the suggestions then made. Those
committees should be formed with
all regard for the work they will
have to do. The members need not
f. be experts. but as many as possible
should possess some knowledge and
experience of the subjects they will
be called upon to handle.
Mr.. Hay was not educated for the
army; but he has had long service
IN the House and as a member of the
military committee. and on that ac-
count will as chairman again of that
committee be both prominent and in
fuential in the contest when Con-
sress assemblies and the House get.
into action on the army bill. Let
jthe friends of preparedness see that
their side of the question is ably rep
. resented on the committee over
which Mr.. Hay will preside.
The contest opens with the use Of
strong terms. Advocates of pre-
paredness are called "militarists" and
Jingoes." while they retort with the
words "paeihcists" and "peace-at-any-
pricers." But never mind about that.
The truth remains, that the man who
wants the defenses of the country
strengthened is taking instructions
from the history of the times, while
the man who would not add a SOL
der to the army or ship to the
/ navy is taking the risk of his official
life. Should war come and demon
strate our helplessness he would dis
appear from public Office as soon as
his constituents could declare them
selves.

When the officer started to give the
command to fire, Hillstrom yelled
Fire." The squad fired and the bull
lets pierced his heart. He was dead in
one minute and ten seconds after the
volley was fired.
Hillstrom declined TO see a minis
ter, saying that he had worked out
his own religion and was satisfied
with il and would not be helped by
seeing a minister. He retired about
10 O'Clock and went to sleep at once
Although he continued to protest
that he could pove his innocence If
granted new trial. Hillstrom re-
manned silent about how he received
bullet wound, or where he was the
night Morrison, of whose murder he
was convicted, was shot and killed at
his grocery in Salt Lake City. TT

and the remarks of the speakers were
mild.
Officers are much perpleXed by an
incident that developed last night in
connection with arrangements for the
execution. Hillstrom expressed a de-
sire to wear a dark suit. which had
been under lock and key with his 9TH
er effects. Deputy Warden A. c. Ure
of the State prison, brought out the
suit and examined ii preparatory to
having it pressed. He discovered the
name Morrison" which is the name
of the man of whose murder Hill
strom was convicted. written in in
delible ink on the white lining of
the suit.
When he reported to IIilstrom that
he had found a name on the suit.
Hillstrom inquired whether the name
was Morrison" and said he believ-
ed il had been placed there by "some
detectives at the county Jail" Hill
strom said the suit was bought for
him by friend after his arrest.
The suit however, officials at the
prison say did not III Hillstrom. 1t
was much TO large for him. Mrs. j.
c. Morrison. widow of the murdered
man, says her husband had suit
similar to the one under investiga-
ton and that the writing resembles
that of her husband, but she Is un-
able 10 identify the suit positively as
his. Another suit was obtained by
Hillstrom TO wear ut his execution.

there was some reason OF an interna-

BUSINESS TAKEN AWAY.


This road operates for distance
of 80 miles from Weiser to New
Meadows and is built through an ex-
ceptionally rich section of western
Idaho In Washington and Adams
counties. 1t is the only outlet to the
upper sections of those counties with
transportation connections on the
Oregon Short Line railroad at Wei
ser where joint traffic rates between
the two roads went into effect. Ex-
tension of the Idaho Northern rail-
road on the opposite side of the
divide in the same section of the
state from Emmett through the Long
valley to Lakeport or Mccall on the
Payette lakes, a subsidiary feeder

road, also impaired the transporta-

road had, prior to the completion of
the Ieaho Northern, almost exclu-
siye control of the business to the

to Council in 1899 and In that year
the road first began operations as a
common carrier AS there were extern
