BECKER MAKES FINAL PLEA TO
ESCAPE DEATH CHAIR
New York, July Charles Beck
er's own revision of the murder of
Gambler Rosenthal, for which former
police lieutenant is sentenced to die,
was given to Gov. Whitman at Albany
by the doomed mans counsel in elev-
enth hour attempt to gain executive
clemency.9
Story which covers over so type
written pages is vindication of Beck
er In it he denies that his relations
with gambling fraternity were ever
anything more than those of police
officer and his stool pigeons, and he
duplicates big Tim" Sullivan, for
mer Democratic leader, who was
found dead some time ago, apparent
ly killed by railroad train under
slightly mysterious circumstances.
Because of Sullivan, Becker says, he
has kept silent so long. Convicted
police lieutenant makes no admission
of grating or of dereliction of duty,
nor does he implicate any higher
up" officials. Becker gives the lie to
practically all of what Jack Rose
swOre to on the witness stand.

MORE LIVESTOCK?

The report of the Secretary of Agriculture. issued this month, tells the country many things ot cheerful import the immense crops, the increasing production per acre, the supremacy of the American farmer in per capita production, and the progress of the numerous agencies that are trying to improve the conditions of farm life and work. It also discusses certain problems of far-reachihg importance. not the least of which is that of our vanishing live stock.
 In the past fifteen years the population of the United States has increased twenty millions, and the demand for meats. woolen clothing, foot wear, ard other necessaries has advanced at least in proportion. Yet be- tween 1899 and 1909 our cattle actually decreased from 50, 00O- 900 head to 41, 900, 900, our sheep from 61,O00.O0O to 52.OOO. 900. and our hogs from 63, ,000, GOO to 58, ,000.0 900. The decline steadily continues. Is there any need to seek for other reasons for the higher prices of much that we eat or wear |?
 The causes of the decrease have been abundantly discussed. Secretary Houston concerns him. self mainly with the problem of checking the decrease and turn ing it into the needed increase. Although various reclamation projects have made it possible to develop big cattle ranges, such as existed in earlier days, the chief hope for an increased meat supply lies in other directions.
 First. as Secretary Houston points out, there is opportunity for a more extensive use of the public grazing lands, which might we'll support fifty per cent more sheep and cattle than they

support at present. In 1913 the average was only one animal for each tiftv-one acres of those lands.
 Then, there is the pressing need of systematic attention to the production of beef animals Tn settled farming areas, par ticularlv in the South. which every year imports almost $50- 900, 900 worth of meats and dairy and poultry products from the North and West. And there is ample and profitable opportunity in all parts of the country for more attention to the smaller animals. such as poultry and swine.
 Finally, Secretary Houston puts much stress on the depart ment's campaign against animal diseases. It is slow work to fight successfully hog cholera, which killed six million hogs in 1913; and also cattle tick, tuber- culosis. and foot and mouth dis ease, which cause yearly losses of many millions; but the pro- gress of the work gives ground for belief that the medical men will be able to control, if not to eradicate, all of those diseases.
 The livestock problem of the United States is not an abstract matter. It touches vitally every home, high or humble. The De- partment of Agriculture may we'll seek with all the agencies and resources at it's command to impress the people with the magnitude of the problem, and to enlist their cooperation in solving it.-Youth's Companion.

WHO DID WRITE SHAKESPEARE
Not Shakespeare or Bacon, but John TrusseII, Is the Latest Theory
 Put Forth.

Another theory as to the identity of the ideal personality around which Shakespeare wrote many of his son. nobody would expect to find it. The volume is a cheap reprint of a six teenth century devotional work, ''The Triumph Over Death,' by the Vener- able Robert Southwell, a Jesuit priest.
 The editor, J. w. Trotman, pro- pounds the startling theory that Southwell is the friend celebrated in Shakespeare. The beautiful youth of the sonnets was a Jesuit, tortured by Topcliffe, imprisoned in the Tower for three years and finally dragged on a hurdle to Tyburn and hanged.
 But neither Shakespeare nor Ba- con, Mr. Trotman holds, wrote the i'm mortal sonnets and plays. According to him they are the work of John Trussell, a member of a family resi- dent for centuries at Billesley, near Stratford-on-Avon, and mayor of Win chester, where he made such charm ing speech to Queen Henrietta Marie after her marriage there with Charles that she declared she was as pleased as if he had given her 10000 crowns. His poem, "The First Rape of Fair Helen,'' his champion says, Is no less Shakespearian than Venus and Adonis." As only one copy of its ex- ists, and one has not had access to the private library in which it is pre- served, one is unable to express an opinion on the point It is evident that MT. Trotman has prepared agree able exercise for the wits of the critics.

THE MATTER
 OF SIDEWALKS

While paved streets and ce- ment sidewalks entail some ex- pense, it must be recognized by all that they are bound to come sooner or later, though probably not to any great extent until the city is incorporated.
 In the meantime. however, we have at hand simpler and cheap CT means which will answer the purpose very we'll as a temporary expedient. We refer to the split-log dragging of the stree s after each rain. and to the haul ing of sand, of which there is a plentiful supply, and building sidewalks of thls material, re- taining the same by an inexpen- sive curbing and, as far as pos sible, topping the walk with cin- ders.
 Some of our residence owners have adopted thls plan and we. notice that, after once construct ed. a very little labor keeps the walks in excellent condition, even during the muddiest times.

The new contractors will take over tn. work from s. D. Smith about February 1st. We are informed that they are plan ming to run auto trucks and bring parcel post matter every day along with the frst-class mail. which will make it decidedly more convenient for the public.
 The awarding of this big COL tract to St. Johns bidders is matter for congratuIation. since the town will without doubt pro- fit largely in a business way by the transaction. St. Johns Her aid.
