CORONER CLOSES
 BYKBEE INQUEST

That Emma F. Byxbee may have met death by accident or while tenn porariEy deranged in mind, may have committed suicide, is what Coroner PheIan has written in his note book after Investigating the circumstances of the killing of the aged woman by railroad train at Norwalk on Monday evening. According to the coroner's investiga tions Mrs. Byxbee~ lived hap pily with her niece, Alice Byxbee Nash, near the railroad freight yards in Norwalk- She was n years of age and although subject to fits of mental alteration, she never left her niece's home Monday evening, however, just after 7:30, she left the veranda where she had been sitting alone, and started for the railroad tracks.
 She passed the homes of Julia. Wright and Maud and Minnie Reid on the way, bidding them stgood evening John c. sherman, yardmaster. saw her go by his office and walk along the tracks. John T. Sisk, a locomotive watchman in the yards, saw her. She was acting queerlys He ran after her and asked her to leave the yards and get. back in the street. She did not an swer him. but with blazing eyes pulled away from his grasp and continued down the tracks.
 Just then the -Pitts1eld, express. bound toward New York, thundered along The woman, a hundred yards or more in advance of where Sisk stopped her, either lay down beside the tracks, with her head on the rail, or else was overcome by faintness and fell in that position The locomotive struck her and her body was hurled into the ditch. She sustained fractures of the skull and spine
 Michael Coffee. engineer of the To- comotive, saw the womanse as she tot tered along beside the tracks and had motioned to his fireman to sound the whistle, when he was mortified to sec her stagger forward on the rails. He set his brakes and tried to reverse his locomotive, but to no purpose The distance was only 60 feet and his loco motive struck the unfortunate woman while it was still making better than 20 miles m hour

eOIsD2 sTUFF' SAYS ROSE.
InfoFmeT4 Thinks Beoker's ssSqueaI''
 Will Not Help Him

New Haven, Conn, July 22- Becker thinks he cam save himself by squeallng. but hes doomed to go to the chair next Wednesday.'' said Jack Rose at the railroad station here yesterday He read the papers containing Becker's- statement and added:
 Becker. is just as guilty of rnurd CT as the other men who went to the chair. There are certain influences trying to save him. but they cannot do it. This so-called eleventh hour squeal is fzzle. Everything Becker has said in his latest statement is old stuff and common Knowledge, and I know that MT. Whitman, after prose cutting him, cannot now pardon him.
 .SWhe are the men trying to ob- tain pardon for Becker 2" he was asked.
 T know that the. people in author ity know" said Rose, "but do not think it best for me to do too much talking. It is mighty strong inf1u- ence, but the men will never be able to. save him.
 t'If he had turned states evidence at the time the others did, do you suppose he could have seved him. seIf?'.
 He might have. but he can expect nothing from this show of repent ance- He had the chance but he thought he had so much influence behind him that they couldn't get him. They've got him now and his squeal is too late.''

PLAN NEW TBIAL sTEP.
Application Expected to Be Based on
 ApeIbaum Statement.

New York July 22-Charles Becker's spectacular plea to Cover nor Whitman yesterday, just one week before Becker is to die for the murder of Herman Rosentha1s has borne better fruit than Becker or any Of his counsel expected according to statements made here last night and even if Governor Whitman fails to take any favorable action in Becker's behalf it is virtually certain that an application for new trial will be made to the Supreme Court within a day or two
 Becker $ $ lengthy explanation of his reIatfonsg with Jack Rose, chief of the four informers responsible flor, Becker's conviction, and with Her from Harry H. Apelbaunn, for years secretary and former Congressman Timothy D. Sullivan and now an at torney. with offices at 154 Nassau street.
 ApeIbaumv- - as mentioned in Beck at the conferences all important ta Becker-in Big Tim's office the Sun day preceding Rosentha1's murder, when Big Tim told Becker Of his fears of Rosenthal's forthcoming revelations to District. Attorney Whitnnan about the gambling situa- ffon and begged Becker to keep his name out of it, no matter what fol- lowed.
 Now ApeIbaumf comes forward to c0roborate Becker's statement that such a conference actually took place and he furnishes details not given by Becker. One important ad- dition is that while he. Jack Rose @rsd Becker were travelling to the conference. Jack Rose, complaining that Rosentha1 had been talking about Mrs. Rose, said that some one ought to croak Rosenthal.'' To w1lseh Becker responded:
 NO, they hadn't. He wants to be Iefs absolutely alone. No friend of mine must harm a hair on his head, for if they do it will be blamed to me. and can beat this thing all right"
 Becker's lack Of fear of Rosen- tha1.s promised revelations is also pointed out in Ape1baun1fs account Of the confereace. sApeIbaum said that Big Tim. a that time sick in mind andsbaIy zpit he troubles that even tuated his final mental break down, was afraid tlsat his relations wIsh Rosentha1 would be n1isunder- stood she had lent Rosentfal $9,50o and if -Its became known he was afraid thai people would think he was Tsosenthai,s partner and he said

MASS MEETING OF WORKING GIRLS IS
 IN FAVOR OF U MON
Gathering At St. Joseph s Hall Hears Appeals From
 Organizers.

Half a. hundred girls and several hundred men, strikers all. listened with enthusiasm to three speakers at the mass meeting held at 6s30 o'clock last evening in St Joseph's hall. just a block away from the Union Metallic Cartridge plant, the scene Of the days most exciting events
 A member of the Womsn's Trades Union Of New York addressed the girls, urging them to continue what they had begun. and explaining to them the advantage of 0nionfzed towns where people "eau have bath tubs, and pianos, and other improve ments, not in model factories but in their own homes.
 Some girls like to think, 20 she said. that to be married means to end all your troubles but those women who, with their babies in their arms, Joined you and urged you on as you came out on strike this noon could tell you that your troubles do not end with marriage that your life goes on just the protection of unionized labor just as you need it now.''
 Another speaker addressed the men.
 Ninety per cent. of the working people of this town are living on the instaIlment plan and are but two weeks away from trust he exclaimed tfAfeaning that if you are thrown out of work two weeks. you must begin to get your food and clothing and rent on trust
 Regarding the men who are out and do not belong to any union and ac- cording1y- do not draw any strike wages, the speaker announced: '.I can promise you that this strike will not last two days beyond Monday and in fact, I myself. am certain that we will have won by Monday so you need not fear that you will be out for sew eraI weeks"
 Following the meeting the girls were organized as pickets to patrol the street this Hornin~ and try to indu- ence the other girls to join them.

Albany. July 22A~There is abso- tute1y nothing at all to throw any light upon the murder of Herman Rosen- thai in Beckerss statement. In fact It goes to corroborate the testimony of Rose that Becker. uniformed pc lice lieutenant, was urging him to keep quiet. Becker says Alfred Henry Lewis had told him that h e was being, framed up Becker should have called MT. Lewis He would have made a material witness for the de- fence.''
 Gov. whitman thus dispelled last night whatever ray of hope counsel for Charles Becker saw in the state ment submitted yesterday The Gov ernorss comment on Beeker's state 1nent indicated that he has no inten- ton of interfering with tho fulfillment Of the order of execution upon any thing Becker has so far said f45ss Statement folfoWed a careful study of it's contents and came at the; close Of the day. long after his usual hour for seeing the newspaper repre- Eenfatives.
 The Governor regards the state ment, 1t was said, in a sense as a cor roboraion Of Roses testimony that Becker at the time of the murder kept sending to Rose injunctions against saving anything That these requests for silence on the part Of Rose were designed to protect the reputation of h. thems did not impress the Executive
 Points Concern Dead Men
 The fact that the only new points n the statemen thew to the Cover rsor-fhe one relating to Sullivan, the other to Alfred Henry Lewis, concern dead men further operates to shake the Governors credenee in what Becker has put on paper- The fact that 1t is brought to light now that 5fz. Lewis had advised Becker that he was being tefraned up,' a long time after MT Lewis death. does not con tribute to the strength of Becker's plea, the Governor holds
 That part of the statement which sought to explain that the conference held by Sullivan. Becker and Rose on the Sunday night preceding the mur- der of Rosenfha1 has been known to Gevornor Whitman for 9 long time. Accordingly it is not believed it will have any effect upon his mind, even though Becker declares that the pur- pose of the conference was to devise sorle way of spiriting RosenthaI out of town in order to close his mouth before the Grand U ury.
 Refusal of .sBald Jack" Rose to Whitman learned yesterday from Bernard Sander, counse. for Rose and Sam Schepps, that Rose was firm on this point--is another factor which tends to seal the fate of Becker all the more tightly. MT. Sander had long talk with the gov ernor, during which he said that Rose under no circumstances could be prevailed upon to- alter what he had said at the trials of Becker.
 Daniel Hickey. secretary and stenographer of Sing Sing prison. sent out twenty invitations last night to persons, who may, if they choose. be present at the execution of Charles Becker next Wednesday morning The invitations were put in the mail at Ossining this morning.
 The law requires that the judge. the District Attorney and the Sheriff who participated at the trial be in vited-s This would include Governor Whiman. but an invitation was not sent to him. Instead one was sent to District Attorney George Perkins, who succeeded Governor Whitman as District Attorney.

go down to corroborate his afhdavit. Upon leaving him I shook hands with him and said. NOW. can depend upon what you say. can tell Tim that it is all off, and he said, Yes That Tim Sullivan was the best friend he had in the world. That he, the only man who could make him stop and that he would stop him.
 There was never any proposition made to Herman Rosentha1 from Tim Sullivan. or from me acting for Tim, to go away, or to receive any sum of money, for. as before indi- cated, Herman always stood ready to do anything Tim asked him to do, so that it was not necessary to bribe him, and I do not believe that any one could.
 II met Tim early that morning and told him the result of my talk with Herman Rosenthal. Tim told. me to see Charlie Becker as soon as could and tell him. I met Charlie Becker coming out of his house: ! think it was about o'clock. That morning I told him.
 Mrs Helen Becker, wife of the condemned man, was much pleased when she learned that Apelbaum was corroborating her husband to certain extent.
 "I am glad to learn that one real man is not afraid to come forward and tell, the truth she said. T am glad to get one encouraging word
 w. Bourke Cochran, chief of Beck er's counsel, seemed more cheerful yesterday. He said that he had not decided what his next move will be, but from another source it was learn ed that the application for new trial has reached concrete form, and that the motion will be made in Part II. of the supreme court within a few days.
 Mrs. Herman Rosentha1. widow of the murdered gambler said yesterday that Becker's last plea was coward. 1y.
 f.It. is a pity Becker can't get some one else to stand as a dummy rather. his grave" she said. Becker spun the whole story out of his cunning I brain
 Chief Magistrate y McAdoo, saying he5 was treating Becker with great l charity because of his desperate sit ! uation, gave out a statement denying that any leak could have come from his office of rBec4Ser's contemplated raid on Rosentha1's place. Becker had said he was afraid of a leak be- cause he knew Mir McAd doc and Lar ry Mulligan were friends.
 Lieut. William. Funston of police 1 headquarters, whose name Becker dSSO 11d<Nl4lS d9QNiSO0- 1S0StASE I11cI i Jack Rose was a friend of his when Becker and Rose met for the first time, reported to Comm missioner | Woods tha the had known Rose as a. manager of second class prize fights ] and a gambler for years and had told l Becker he knew Rose. and that was all
 Morris Koen1g, now a city magis- trate. but a deputy assistant district attorney when Rosenthal was killed, refused to make a. reply to Beckers assertion that Rose hadzzsaid that Koenig would take care ofsetwo ar rested gam mblers before the grand jury. MT. Koenig did no thandle cases be- fore the grand jury.
 Magistrate McQuade, whose name was AbrorghtSinto Beeker's statement also refused to talk. District Attor- G1ey Perkins had nothing to. say, and Larry Mulligan and Jack Rose were out of town
