WHITMAN. DECLINES 10 SAVE BECKER; MANTON LOSES HOPE.
Execution Postponed Until July 26 - Only Federal Court Can Now Stay
 Death Penalty

Albany, July 1.-Governor Whitman today declined to commute the death sentence of Charles Becker, convicted d of the murder of Herman Rosenthai. Simultaneously. Martin B. Manton, Becker's counsel. announced he would tnke no further legal steps in behalf ns his cltert.
 That other counsel for Becker may have an opportunity to appeal to the federal courts, however. If desired the governor granted the convicted man a reprieve from the week beginning July 12 to the week beginning July 26. When Manton left here after his conference with the governor he did not know if the case would be taken to a higher court. or what attorney, If any, would appeal for the convicted man.
 Late tonight it developed that Becker offered to make revelations to the gov ernor in connection with graft in New York police circles The governor, how ever, refused to consider this phase of the case. The only issue before him. he held, was the actual killing of Ro- seminal.
 Save for the statement that Becker had not confessed the killing of Rosenthal or offered to duplicate others in the killing. the governor would say nothing regard ing the offer of revelations.
 only writ issued by a federal court now will act as a stay.
 A mere appeal will not have that eff feet Manton. who retires from the case, was much hope of federal court inter vention. There are few points which it is expected an appeal on constitu- tional grounds might be taken but they are considered of minor character.
 Mrs. Becker did not appeal to the governor In her husbands behalf
 A statement late today from the ex- ecutive chamber said
 "I deem 1t my duty to. decline to ap- point commission to further examine into the Becker case, and feel that ! must deny the application for commuta- ton of the sentence to Imprisonment for life
 MT Manton is of the opinion that he has done all In his power for his client, and has asked for a reprieve, that other counsel may have ample time for prep aration' in the effort to take the case into the federal court
 lowing to my absence during the last week from the; capital and the incident delay, think it is fair that the extra time should be given. and have granted a reprieve. postponing the ex- ecution of the sentence to the week be- July 26."

London, July 1.-10,30 p. m.)-The Austro-German drive northward into Poland from GaIicfs is gaining mo- mentum and England Is puzzled as to whether the German purpose is to make this the main effort to continue il concentrated offensive to force the Russians from the southeast tip of Ga licia.
 Whatever the ultimate object is, fighting along the GniIa Lipa river has nos abated and Berlin not only records the are arouud Jerberg and nIaa,. what has become the northern front, between the vistuIa and the Bug.
 The Austro-G German forces on this front arc estimated at 20o0,O0o and their pro- gress has been rapid. They have crossed the forest fringing the Tanew river and are not far from the Zamosc fortress, 25 miles north of the Galcan frontier
 Only 100 miles to the north is the great Russian base Brest-Litovsk, linked with Warsaw by important railways and lying almost due east of the Polish capital
 New Situation
 The development of the Galician cam paign has created a situation entirely un- expected by the allies.
 few months ago the Russians were at the Carpathian passes and in the spring confident predictions were made in Eng land and France that Hungary soon would be overrun. The British press has been optimistic for weeks that the Russians would turn, but it now frankly comedies that the invasion of Russia is serious. The papers, however, put faith in Russia s campaign for the production of more mu- ntions.
 The Arras sector maintains its reputa- ton as the storm center of the west but although losses are piling up daily, neither side delivers a decisive blow.
 Stronghold Captured
 An Athens dispatch tonight says the allies have taken the Turkish stronghold of Krithia, on the Gallipol peninsula. to the western edge of which Gen Ian Ham, llton's report of yesterday carried his forces.
 Qualification over the British progress in Gallipoli is hardly more pronounced than the realization of the tremendous task England and France face in their attempt to clear the Turks from natural defenses barring the way to Constanti- nople
 The first stroke against British naval craft In home waters for sometime is an- nounced by the admiralty tonight. which says that IA men have been lost by the mining or torpedoing of the destroyer Lightning, an old craft laid down two decades ago.
 Bulgaria. which both sides are u-inr every effort to bring into the conflict. has notified reservists in England to be ready to join the colors, but Bulgarian of ficials here say this is a perfunctory pro- cedure.

Washington, July i.--with unpar- "ilelcd conditions of famine and am nrchy in Mexico City threatening the safety of foreigners. officials of the United states were giving serious con sidcration tonight to relief measures.

They may authorize mn effort to obtain the consent Of Gen crai Carranna to send supplies Into the old capital through neutral agencies. The diplomatic corps In Mexico City Is counted on to provide for the re- mo,ai of foreigners from the threat cning zone.
 "Only the opening of the railroad from Mexico City to Vera cruz" said one Of the Brazilian minister's messages, can bring relief to the situation" The dispatches. the first the department had received in nearly two weeks from the Mexican capital, revealed that while the cable from the city Is not cut, Carranza authorities refuse to permit messages te pass. It Is understood the United States will inquire of Carranza to learn the re- sponsbility for stoppage of diplomatic communications.
 Zapata in Control
 While it appeared today that the za- pata forces stll controlled the capital, lighting was continuing in the outskirts. The political situation in Mexico, f gea- erallN is believed, depends on the c0urse Of military operations. Continued Zapat4 successes in resisting the entry of Car- ranza troops into the capital has dead locked operations in the south. while in the vicinity of Aguascalientes, General Villa claims to have retaken Lagos and defeated General Hill who succeeded Obregon in active command of the Car ranza forces. Carranza officials, how ever, declare their troops are having con tinuous successes.
 Efforts to restore peace wait to soue extent upon the return here of President Wilsop. although the outcome of the military situation in the ncxt few weeks will have an important bearing on the

ARMENIAN CAPTAIN REFUSED TOHALTA AT
 COMMAND IS BELIEF
Official Information as to Circumstances Surround ing Sinking of Steamer and Killing of Americans Not Yet Ascertained

Washington. July i.-oTiciaI in hte judgment of circumstances under which the British steamer Armenian was destroyed with the loss oA Amer icnn lives wns lacking tonight md until details nre available. Secretary Lansing said tie position pf tho tni- ted states couid net he determined.
 From news dispatches, however, and q closer reading of official reports. officials were inclined in the view that as the Ar menian apparently refused to halt at the command of the German submarine. ac- cording to international law, the sinking of the vessel was justified even though noncombatants were on board
 There was little tension over the lnc- dent in official quarters here after it be- came known the Armenian had sought to evade capture, It was admitted that If official reports~bore out press dispatches there was no Likelihood that any new cause of complaint would be added to ls-
 
 and Germany.
 Had Given Warning
 One or two officials suggested that since Germany had given warning that enemy ships would he torpedoed without warn ing, merchantmen carrying contraban1 might he justified in attempting to cape, since ohat would mean certain do x.-ftl nf e, portunity for the crew to escape.
 These officials argued that the German submarines might not order vessels to stop merely for the purpose of visit" Others, however, declared rules of war fare do not require commander to state his purpose when directing a merchant man to halt.
 The only fact of importance received lf- fically by the state department came in report from Ambassador Page. who said the British admiralty had informed him the Armenian was engaged in admira ty business" Department officials declared the question of whether ship so enga ged would be treated by hostile vessels as ship of war or q defenseless merchant man was "a close question of interna- tiona law" and an opinion could not Da given until the extent of the bellgerent governments control over the ship and crew was definitely known,
 Neutrality Not Violated
 When 1t was suggested to officials that if the Armenian were a public ship of war she could not have sailed from tn. United States without violating neutral ity, it was pointed out that there had been cases before the federal courts in whicn this point arose and 1t had been ruled that the chartering of vessel by a foreign consul for his government to transport munitions of war or supplies did not con sttute violation of federal statutes.
