A pitiful figure was Mrs. Becker.
the accused, as she sat beside the
counsel table with bowed head, wrap
ped In a heavy brown shawl ana
wearing a little old.fashioned hat Of
black velvet devoid OF any ornament
whatever. She was weeping when
she was brought into the court room
by court officer and continued to
weep as the proceedings got under

aloud.
Nearly an hour passed before she

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March g.
The head OF the whole gigantic
conspiracy to steal the Terre Haute
election was Dom M. Roberts,
mayor OF the city" declared Dis
trict Attorney Daley today In his
statement to the Jury In the cleo
ton corruption conspiracy trial Of
Roberts and ~ other Terre Haute
politicians In federal court here.
Roberts served In the dual capa-
city Of mayor and chairman Of one
OF the parties. and he ruled In both
places as q car"
The district attorneys statement
was dramatic. He placed the con.
spiracy directly on the shoulders OF
Mayor Roberts, but Roberts sat un.
concerned throughout.
Roberts has had long practice In
the larceny OF elections" said
Daley. "Terre Haute has probably
the largest red light district OF any
city OF its size IN the world. In pre-
cinct A. OF the Sixth ward, are l25
open and notorious houses OF Ill
fame allowed TO run under police
protection.
Roberts used the lash to make
the keepers OF these houses do as
he said. II they refused he put
them out OF business. The evidence
will show that these were com.
pletely under the control OF an am
bilious and corrupt mayor"
United States District Attorney
Daley today continued reading TO
the Jury In federal court the alleged
overt acts OF Mayor Dom NJ. Roberts
and the 81 other defendants In the
election corruption conspiracy trial
involving Terre Haute politicians.
The government seeks to prove that
the Roberts organization, by whole
sale corruption. gained control Of
the administration OF vigo county
and Terre Haute. one OF the richest
units m Indiana. Eighty-eight OF
the 126 men indicted for conspiring
against the government have plead
ed guilty.
DALEY told the jury that Roberts
gave night Chief Nugent. who has
pleaded guilty. a list OF saloons. gam
bling dens and wine rooms from
which Nugent was TO levy funds for
the general "slush fund"
, Then Roberts hired autos 10 haul
rcpesters.
He said Roberts threatened Frank
Clark. when Clark rebelled. with:

Yves Godfrey, who also has pleaded
{, guilty. TO haul repeaters and gave
him the card index" alleged to have
been used to systematize the voting

Joe Jefers. confessed gunman and

river patrolman. was told by Rob-
erts that he tRoberts) did not want

 Two Important Instances

New York, March s.-(Special.) )-word has just reached the American Bible so- ciety of Bible work done in Austria, in Bohemia and in Germany during the last few weeks. In the cases of some of the workers there was cooperation with the American board of Boston and the Relig- ious Tract society of London. In all of heard of eagerness for copies of the New Testament. People who a year ago re- fused to accept Testaments as gifts now buy them eagerly. So eager were men in Prague. Bohemia. that Bible agents gave away 5000 Testaments, and were forced to apply to the American society to wipe out the account in the form of a grant.
 These workers also report that in the trenches and camps men speaking no fewer than 10 different languages were discovered. Often to reach such numbers many miles had to be travelled The re- ports cover the entire German field north of Bremen. The distribution of Bibles while the number of tongues exhausted the supplies of a considerable Bible de- pository at Budapest. in Hungary. The British and Foreign Bible society had some part in this Bible distribution, but it and the American society report that they carefully kept from view all Bibles print ed in English. The American society has one of it's greatest agencies in Constan- tinople, but of late has heard nothing from it.
