his cell. and constantly inquired for
news.
"Mr. Cochran did splendidly!" he ex-
claimed. after he had read the news
papers.
Becker is almost convinced that he
will be given third trial. In his en-
vironment. situated as he is within a
few feet of the death chamber. the
most encouraging news is apt TO un-
dergo a warpng process. and 1t is not
reasonably possible TO feel confident
until a favorable court order is &C
tually written out.
Father James Curry. Becker's spirit
ual adviser. visited the prisoner early
Yesterday. SO did Becker's brother,
John. At o'clock last evening Mrs.
Becker arrived. She left her husband
about Q o'clock
Deputy Warden Charles II. Johnson
said Yesterday he was certain that
Becker is innocent.
81 have had numerous talks with
him." Mr. Johnson said, "and each sue
ceeding time feel more convinced that
Becker is wrongfully confined here.
One thing that indicates his innocence
to me is that in all our conversations
he has not once contradicted anything
he has said at another conversation"
Becker is still in enjoyment OF his
privileges and and it is unlikely that
there will be any change until Justice
Ford renders his decision, and then
only in the event that new trial is re-
fused. Should a new trial be granted
Becker would be brought back to the
Tombs.
There were reports yesterday that
Becker is planning to leave behind him
a statement should he be executed.
Speculation has it that in this alleged
statement Governor Whitman will be
attacked. SO far as both these things
are considered, it can be said that
Becker, so far as those close to him
know, has no intention of getting out a
statement The statement issued last
week is the only one that has his au-
thenticatiop.
The death house gained another oc-
cupant yesterday. Charles Frederick
Stielow, Of Olean, N. Y, now makes the
twenty-ffth person in the condemned
cells In formed years he would have
been taken to Auburn for execution,
but the death penalty is now exacted
only at Sing Sing.

Stage Play Won Strikers,
Says Sheriff Kinkead

Sheriff Kinkead explained yesterday
his attitude in the Bayonne strike.
Most Of these strikers are Poles and
Russians" he said. "They haven't the
slightest conception of our language,
our customs or our laws. The way TO
appeal TO them is through their emo
tionS, rather than through their intel
lect.
Il could establish no common ground
in language, but there was religion.
These workmen are as devout as any
native born American, | should say.
II was in an effort 10 persuade them
that the law was not tyrannical and
its emissaries we're not monsters that
| removed my hat and directed my dep
uties 10 do the same the other day
when we passed the Roman Catholic
church on West Twenty Street.
81 could have talked all day without
convincing those strikers that | was
even human, but that one act, melodra-
matte and useless as it seemed to the
spectators, helped win the confidence of
the strikers. That was wky l made
stern demand upon the Standard Oil
for officials as hostages when the shoot
ing broke out knew it would help
convince the strikers that the law was
Just. And it did.
when ! arrested jeremiah Baly |
slapped his face, forced him to his
knees and talked of 'cowardly wretches.'
That sounded just as foolish 10 me as
10 any one else. but to those strikers
whom Baly had been fooling it was the
right kind of language and actions to
use in such a grave crisis.
with this explanation it will be
easy to see why | had the strikers
drape an American flag across the plat
form in Mydosh Hall when | spoke
there yesterday afternoon. 1t has all
been symbolic and believe it has done
some good. III be glad, though, to get
off the stage and get back to plain
sheriffiDg"

hours later. II was around midnight
when he started for home last night.
The first brief submitted by the Dis
trict Attorney was handed TO Justice
Ford late Monday afternoon. A time
limit had been set for noon yesterday,
but Mr.. Cochran, finding that he would
not be able to complete his main brief
by that hour, asked for an extension
until o'clock. This was granted. At
2:30 John b. Johnston, of counsel for
Becker, brought the paper to the JUS
tice. Two hours later Mr.. Johnston
submitted supplemental brief. Just
before that Mr.. Perkins submitted his
additional brief.
Becker's lawyers, while refusing to
comment on the situation, seem to be
most confident of winning a new trial
for their client. Mrs. Becker's hopes
are as high.

Want PAY for Half Holidays.

Bostt I, July PA majority Of the
1000 employees of the mechanical de-
partment Of the Boston e. Maine Rail-
road, members of the American Fed
Grafton Of Railroad Workers, have voted
to strike to enforce demands for pay
for Saturday half holidays during July
and August.
TwS1ty-six hundred votes had been
cast to date, 1t was said, OF which 80
per cent favored strike. About 100
more affirmative votes are necessary
for the two-thirds vote required Tor

Sunday night meeting he had already,
at the direction OF the defendant. COM
pleted arrangements for the murder
of Rosenthal, 10 prevent him appearing
before he District Attorney, is ut
terly inconsistent with his statement
embodied IN ;he present moving pa
pers.
There is one infallible test by
which the weight of evidence in sup
port of new trial can be tested. In
the light of it, is there any probability
that another jury would find the de-
PENDANT guilty? In this case the test
can be carried further. Does anybody
believe that if a new trial be ordered
this defendant would ever again be
asked TO face jury?
He certainly never could be brought
10 trial upon the same testimony that
was offered on the last trial. For, in
the light OF Roses present admission,
that testimony could not be repeated.
And in considering the weight of new
testimony the court can only consider
the testimony already given"
The supplemental brief of Mr.. Cock
ran and Mr.. Manton is devoted mainly
to disputng the claim in Mr.. Perklns's
main brief that Justice Ford has not
the power TO order new trial. 1t ends
with:
This court is urgently asked TO OBJ
serve that in these briefs submitted by
the District Attorney, as in his argu-
ment Yesterday, the facts embodied in
defendants affidavit are hardly ques-
toned. The District Attorney places
his whole reliance, not on the justice
of the defendants conviction. but on
the technicalities which he invoked to
prevent this court from doing what
justice manifestly requires should be
DONE"
New Evidence Plea Scored.
As Assistant District Attorney Rob
ert c. Taylor argued in court on Mon
day. the District Attorney, IN his brief,
contends that what Becker sets forth
as new evidence is not new evidence
Most of it is hearsay, it Is asserted,
and. Furthermore, il was as well known
t., Becker at the time Of the second
trial as it is now. 1t is also claimed
the evidence is cumulative.
Reports yesterday that Justice Ford
may decide to examine witnesses be-
fore he settles the case appear TO be
without foundation. He has given no
further indication of his attitude on
ms since ne remarhed III court on
Monday that. so far as the case had
gone, he could see no necessity for
calling witnesses. And that he may
ask Governor Whitman to reprieve
Becker so that longer consideration
may be given to the matter is unlikely,
for, under the present scale of work
ing hours adopted by Justice Ford, he
will have enough time.
The justice, on leaving the court
room at O'Clock Monday afternoon,
went to his chambers in the Emigrant
Bank Building. He had seen to it that
he will have nothing but the Becker
matter to consider until he disposes of
the case. lie remained in his chambers
until O'Clock yesterday morning,
when he went to his apartment. He
was up again at o'clock yes rday
morning, and back in his chambers two

STEEL EARNINGS
SHOW BIG GAIN
Corporations Net for June
Quarter Was $27,950,O55
Increase, S15,492, 246.

The United States Steel Corporation
in its report of earnings for the quar-
ter ended June 80, made public yester-'
day, not only showed revenues far in
excess Of the previous quarter, but
substantial increase over the similar
three months Of 1914. before the de-
preston which lasted into the current
year began to be severely felt. The
balance available for dividends was
S14,572, 564, compared with only $685.
058 for the March quarter and S7,499,-
463 for the three months ended with
June, 1914.
Payment of the preferred dividend
consumed s6,304,919 of the quarters
surplus, leaving a balance for the com
mon stock of $8,207,6 45, whereas on
March 81 the deficit, after payment OF
preferred dividends, was s5,389,96l.
The last quarters surplus was not only
sufficient to pay the full IA per cent
rate on the senior shares, but was
large enough to pay IA per cent on the
common and still leave a balance in
excess of $1,900,000. The dividend was
cut from this rate TO one-half Of per
cent on December 80, 1914, and passed
entirely early this year
Net earnings for the June quarter
amounted to s27,9S0,O55, against sl2,-
457,s09 for the first quarter and s20,-
457,596 for the three months ended
June 80, 1914. Further evidence of the
healthier condition of the corporation
was found in the greater reserve set
aside for depreciation and sinking
fund, the amount being s6,03l,013, an
increase of s1,S2S,762 over the previous
quarter.
