seventh Street Police Station, where he
fell under the observing eye OF the Dis
trict Attorney. stood talking with his
| accomplices ut sunrise OH Il bright July
morning at the corner of Forty-second
street and Sixth Avenue.
Had he hired a window on Broadway
and moving picture machine, he could
not have made himself moro conspicu-
Gus. In another man 1t would have
been stupid.
In Becker it was thcJovcrcontidence
OF an insolcnt, INSCRIPTIONS crook. who
as he boosted, had yet to get the worst
of it."
For the fact that. 1T last. he got the
worst, he can thank his vanity, his
greed for easy" money. his supreme
sclflshncss.
The people" he said. will think the
gamblers did it,"
But the gamblers saw the selfish pur-
pose, and to save themselves, betrayed
him.
In this remarkable murder trial there
arc two unusual features; one Is that
in it. in no place. from first TO last, does
a woman appear. There Is no single
hint OF love or passion. None OF the
twelve conspirators could plead tho
woman tempted me!' and the other
feature is that In the murder trial one
Hittit Shc4li nave appeared rs ucNc'lN',
witness and public prosecutors.
On the night of the murder. had
Charles $. Whitman not gone to the
Forty-scvcnth Street Police Station. no
one can doubt that Becker would to-
day be II free man. From the moment
the District Attorney took over the
command OF that police station, and
released from cell. into which the po-
lice had thrown him. the only man who
knew. or who would tell. the number
OF the murder car, the case Of tho
people was in safe hands. With the
police department against him. with the
Mayor against him. the District At
torncy has fought the UNDERWORLD

niiccnt victory. MIR. Whitman proved
himself the right man in the right
place.
AS this is written, Becker is waiting
to receive the only sentence possible
In losing his life he may console him-
self with the thought that IL is not

JEWELRY STORE is HELD UP
Thief Takes $500 Worth of Diamonds
and Gold Watch.

After selecting two diamonds valued
at $500 and a gold watch from an as
sortment shown him a stranger COW
cred Herman Huesgen, a jeweler, at
Devils Lake, with a revolver and
backed out Of the store.
The robbery, which was the most
daring in the history of Devils Lake,
occurred shortly after Z o'clock in the
evening, with the streets crowded with
people. The man spent considerable
time in the store, looking over stones.
Several times he ~endeavored to get
the proprietor out Of the place on vari-
Gus %pretcxts.
Pulling a gun from one pocket and
grabbing the diamonds and watch with
the other hand he shouted, Don't
move" hurried out and dashed for the
railroad yards.
A second holdup soon after the dia-
mond robbery, coupled with an at
tempted house breaking, combined to
arouse Devils Lake. A farmer was
held mp on the outskirts of the city
and relieved Of a watch and valu,
ables. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to break into the residence OF
DR.. w. F. Sihler, the culprit being

IN NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From Many
Sections Of the State.
FOOD PLACES ARE IMPROVING
Sanitary Conditions of Establishments
Found Better Than Five
Years Ago.

Uniform improvement in the condi.
ton of food handling establishments
in North Dakota has been brought
about in the past five years, according
to the report submitted to Governor
Hanna by f. +. Ladd, state pure food
commissioner.
The report shows that the grocer
les that five years ago were rated at
80 per cent are rated at SO per cent;
bakeries, which formerly had a rating
of 10 per cent, have a rating of "a per
cent, and slaughter houses, which had
a rating of 80 per cent, have a rating
Of 20 per cent.
Only in the meat markets has there
been a decline. Their average rating
was Sc per CEN and has fallen to SO
per cent.
Commissioner Ladd points out that
no state has enacted a law that ade-
quately copeS with the patent medi-
cine question. He favors legislation
forcing the companies to register their
formulas with the state, so state X.
perts could decide whether the medi-
cines were beneficial.
