BECKER DOOMED.

ALBANY. May 26.-Chas Becker, former New York police lieutenant, must die in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison within the next six weeks for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New York gambler. by four gun men. July 16, 1912, unless Governor Whitman of United States Supreme Court interyenes. The court of ap- peals of New York affirmed the con- viction of Becker by jury in the su- preme court at the second trial held several months ago.
 The same court granted DecKer a new hearing of the first trial on the ground that Presiding Justice Gron had erred. Executive clemency for Becker is regarded as remote. As district attorney of New York county, the present governor prosecuted the former police lieutenant both times. The date of Becker's execution may not be set nor the death warrant signed until next week owing to the absence of some of the judges.
 The law prescribes the execution must take place not less than four nor more than six weeks after a de- cision is handed down. The prevail ing opinion of tho court, written by Judge Bartlett. held the second trial was fair and free from error. Judge Hogar alone dissented. He submitted mo ,,.r{ttan opiniou

 Public sentiment in Germany is better against th' United states-chieay official msrepresenta o1s regarding the American sale of arms to the Allies Eut that obstacle is nsuperabe. For there is biz difference between public opinion in Germany public opinion in America.

Patroness of Music.

The origin of music is lost in an. tiguity. Among civilized people 1t is probably to be traced to the ancient Egyptian priests. who employed this art in their religious rites and cere- monies. From the Egyptians the Greeks and the Romans derived their knowledge of music. The ancient He brews probably took with them into Palestine some of the songs they had learned !n Egypt.

Forthwith the chemist deyises au alloy which, composed chiefly of zinc, answers admirably for cart ridges and grenades.
