LOAN NEGOTIATIONS
NOW MARKING TIME
tBy the Associated Press

New York, Sept. Negotiations
toward establishing a half billion dol
lar credit loan to Great Britain and
FraEce marked time today. Many Of
the American bankers who have been
in consultation with the AnglO-French
fina ncial commission failed to visit the
financial section over the short busi-
ness session, and the commission it
self received fewer callers than on
any previous day of it's stay here.
No one in close touch with the sit
uation could be found who would
deny a generally credited report that
the commission had submitted to the
British and French governments the
rough draft of terms satisfactory to
American bankers, and was awaiting
word from Paris and London before
proceeding further with negotiations.
The general belief was that a reply
would be received here by Monday
One report that was definitely de-
MED was that the commission in
tended to depart for Europe next
Saturday. No arrangements, it was
said, had been made for their return
home.
There appeared to be no change to-
night in the reported tentative terms
OF the loan, the maximum to be $780,
100000 to be covered by an issue OF
| joint AnglOFrench fve-year notes
bearing interest at the rate Of pei

NO riREcT OFFER.
Says Gov. Whitman Was Received from
Becker.

Albany, N. Y, July 30.--That Charles
Becker never made a direct offer to
plead guilty to murder in the second de-
gree and never offered directly to i'm
plicate others in graft exposures, was
the statement made by Gov. Whitman
upon his return from Poughkeepsie last
night.
Becker is right that he never made
a direct offer for | have not spoken to
him since the night Rosenthal was muir
dered," the executive said. "He well can
say that, for he, personally, never has
made any proposition to me. 1t is a
well known fact that his counsel offered
to implicate Others in graft disclosures
and named five persons. 1t was only q
short time ago that Becker's counsel in
New York said it was up to me to name
the men"
The governor refused to discuss the
assertion that Becker had offered to
plead guilty to second degree murder,
other than to say that Becker himself
had never made such an offer. As for
Becker's denial that hS had ever sent
counsel to men arrested for completely
in the Rosenthal murder and the allega-
ton that his first wife had died under
mysterious circumstances, the governor
would only say that "those charges have
been published in newspapers for three
years"

THE LAST APPEAL.
Mrs. Becker Was Quite Collected in Her
Presentation.

Poughkeepsic, N. Y, July 30.-Mrs
Charles Becker made her final appeal Il
Governor Whitman for her husbands life
at the Nelson house last night. Weeping
slightly, but maintaining such contro
that the governor later remarked admir-
ingly on her composure, she based hei
appeal solely on her belief in her hus
bands innocence. There was no Offer
either BY her or John B. Johnston, one
Of Becker's attorneys who accompanied
her, TO expose anything IN exchange foI
the convicted mans life.
Governor, know Charlie is no saint, :
was her repeated assertion, "but he is
not the foul murderer that he has been
branded"
The governor was visibly affected, but
he shook his head negatively.
Il cannot" he said, "but / want you
to tell me everything. If there is any
thing that you know thai you have not
told that you think would help your hus-
band. or that / should know, you may
tell IL to mo with the fullest assurance
that 1t will be regarded as absolutely
confidential"
"There is nothing to tell" Mrs. Becker
replied. II only know he is innocent"
The conference between Mrs. Becker
and the governor lasted about 10 min.
utes. Mr.. Johnston and Major John
Stanley Moore, the governors military
secretary, also were present.
Prior TO seeing Mrs. Becker, the gov.
error conferred for more than an hour
with Mr.. Johnston. The attorney APP
pealed for a reprieve in order that the
case might be taken to the court OF APP
peals and also asked the governor 10
permit former Justice Edgar NJ. Cullen
and William ID. Andrews, 20 pass on the
appeal for Communication or reprieve as
specially appointed commissioners. The
executive declined both requests. When
asked to grant a reprieve, that new evil
dence might be submitted, the governor
said there was none.
For more than an hour, while Mr..
Johnston pleaded his POINTS Of law with
the governor, Mrs. Becker sat alone in
darkened room. Meantime, the halls out
side were filled with newspapermen and
photographers. most Of whom had fol-
lowed the governor from the camp, and
several of the curious. Included IN the
latter was one man who was quite GER
tain that II be could whisper one word
into the governors ear. Boxers lite

TO the governors presence.
When the governor had completed bis
conference with Mr.. Johnston. the doors

Turning then to Mr.. Johnston, the
governor said.
"You had better make statement
now"
Mr.. Johnston then explained the legal
points in the case which hc had raised,
and the governor told on what ground
he had refused to consider them Just
cause for his interfering with the exc
cution.
AS the governor finished talking, he
moved over to chair and sat down on
the arm Imply.
"It's been a trying experience for mo-"
he said. 81 thought had gone through

he was asked.

ing up. IL think the pardoning power
should lie with the governor"
Mr.. Johnston bade the governor good
bye and passed into the darkened room,
in which Mrs. Becker still sat. A mo-
ment later, the hall being cleared, she
slipped out side stairway and entered
a waiting motor car to 90 to Sing Sing
for last farewell with her husband.
Within ten minutes, the governor was on
his way to Albany.
