Synopsis-Chapter I.

An injured, unknown man, speaking
a strange foreign tongue is brought
to Bellevue Hospital and is nicknamed
John Doe by the doctor and nurse.
2 Three rough looking men visit the
stranger at the hospital and converse
with him in his language.
John Doe later writes letter and
shows the doctor by signs that he
wants him to find someone who can
interpret it. Such person is found
in the keeper of cafe frequented by
sailors.

TRIBUTE TO GANG
Fifteen Leading Foreigners Adj
nit Payment to Blackhand.
Stories of EXtOrtiOn Told Be-
hind Drawn Blinds.

Kansas City, July 3O.-Fifteen of
the leading business and professional
men of the foreign quarter here at a
conference with John Client, CHIEF OF
detectives today, admitted paying
amounts ranging from 81, geo to S5,OOO
to what is believed to be an organized
black hand gang which, it is charged,
has operated here more than two
years. The methods used in each case
described by the victims was almost
the same. However, not one of the
victims was willing today to prosecute
any one of the nine men now under
arrest in connection with the alleged
extortions.
asked. Fear of the alleged gang was
evidenced in the fact that the men re-
fused to confer in the detective
chiefs Office until all windows were
blinded. Many mysterious shootinSs
in the Italian district during the last
few years have served to increase this
fear.
According to stories told the police
today many of the gangs victims have
paid a monthly sum as an insurance
on their lives and property Some OF
the demands were made personally,
the victims said. Six of the men UNI
der arrest having been in jail to the
limit allowed by law where no Spe-
cific charge is filed, were released this
morning. Before they could leave the
building, however, they were arrested
and placed in Jail for another twenty
four hours.

BECKER SCORED HIM.
Defends Name and Demands Whit
man Retraction in Last Moments.

Ossining, n. Y, July 30.-Charles
Becker, executed today for instlgaung
the death of Herman Rosenthal, 1t IS
said did not expect executive Glenn
ency Almost at the moment the
news was received that the governor
would not interfere, the prisoner gave
out a letter that he had written TO
Governor Whitman in which he at
tackled the executive for having, as he
indicated, given to the newspapers
statements which cast foul asper-
sion on my character, and for Wh1ch
he demanded a retraction. In this
letter Becker reiterated his innocence
of the crime for which he has been
convicted.
ITO these charges and to all others,
1 answer the letter read, by repeat
ing solemnly. on the brink of the
world to which you are Sendlng me
before my time, with what was my
constant answer while in the world:
L am as innocent as you of having
murdered Herman Rosenthal, or OF
having counseled, procured or aided or
advised in his murder, or of having
any knowledge of the dreadful
crime"
The alleged statements which
Becker referred to as having been
credited to the governor were that he
had offered to plead guilty of murder
in the second degree; that, quoting
from Becker's letter, he had Offered
to give testimony against several per-
sons (nameS were unQlSclOSeQJ VI
having shared with me in collecting
money for law breakers" that he had
sent counsel to two men arrested for
completely in the Rosenthal murder,
and that with a cruelty almost incon-
ceivable, it is stated that my first wife
died under circumstances warrant1nge
suspicion that I had caused her death :
Becker explained the death of his
first wife by declaring that she died
of "hasty consumption" and that no
breath of suspicion had ever been rails
ed against him in that connection.
Mark well, sir, these words OF
mine" the letter concludes when
your power passes, then the truth of
RosenthaFs murder will become
known. But not while your nominees
remain district attorneys and can hold
the club over these persons
with the aid of judges who were
misled into misconceiving the testi-
mony offered at my trial and into mis-
stating it both to the jury and on APP
peal, you have proved yourself able to
destroy my life. But, believe me. I
will surrender it without rancor. Not
all the judges in his state, nor in this
country nor the governor of this
state nor the district attorney, nor all
of them combined, can destroy per-
manentIy the character of an innocent
man.
The letter was mailed to Governor
Whitman last night.

UP TO The HAGUE.
Kaiser May Suggest Tribunal in
Plunger Quarrel.
Gerard's Talk With Chancellor
Is "PIeasing."
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

Berlin, July 30.-Germany may sug-
gest that President Wilson's request
for reparation in the loss of American
lives on the Lusitania and a disavowal
of future policy of promiscuous sub
marine warfare be submitted to the
Hague tribunal.
This was lone suggestion coming
from those today VINO favored a policy
of not replying to the latest American
note. The best information obtain
able from semi-official channels is
that the government has not yet deter
mined whether the note will be an
swered.
L understand Ambassador Gerard
gained the impression from his con-
ference with Chancellor Bethmann-
Holwegg yesterday that the note
would not be answered.
The American ambassador, as he
expressed it. was personally pleased"
after his talk with the German chan
cellor. He refused further comment
1t was generally believed here that
this conference had materially cleared
the German-American situation
