Ossining, New York, July 29.-The
last hope of Charles Becker, twice
convicted for instigating the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, died tonight
when he was told that his wife had
failed to move Governor Whitman to
reprieve him. She motored here to
break the news, but found he already
had been told. Becker it was said
had not expected clemency.
Almost at the moment Becker re-
ceived news he gave out a letter to
Whitman attacking the governor for
having, as Becker indicated, given
statements to the newspapers which
cast "foul aspersions on my charac-
ter" and for which Becker demanded
a retraction. In the letter Becker
denied these charges and declared
himself innocent of all knowledge or
connection of the murder of Rosen-
thai.
In the letter Becker referred to the
following statements as having been
credited to the governor:
''That Becker had offered to plead
guilty to second degree murder, that
Becker offered to testify against sew
eral persons whose names were not
disclosed as having shared with Beck
er in collecting money from law
breakers; that Becker sent counsel to
two men arrested for completely in
the Rosenthal murder, and that Beck
er's first wife died under suspicious
circumstances"
The statements credited to the gov
ernor appeared in the morning pa
pers.
Becker this morning received the
usual hair clipping given prisoners
about to be electrocuted. He dressed
in the black "death suit" and returned
to the cell from which all personal
belongings had been removed. He
spent the greater part of the day
writing the letter. Physicians report.

that is to be presented to the grand

One of the points to be laid before

London, July 29.-There are signs
that momentous events are happen
ing around Warsaw. If its evacuation
has not already begun it is believed
in many quarters that it is Aot far
of. At various points the Russians
continue to check the Austro- German
efforts to encircle Warsaw, but the
consensus of views Of Petrograd
newspapers and military critics is
that the Russians cannot long stem
the tremendous pressure.
These writer's speak of the need
for the Russian people to view the
events about to transpil,e with tran
guilty and keep faith in the Russian
army.
Except for the capture of new
German position in Vosges there has
been relative calm in the west. In
the Italian theatre both the Austrians
and Italians claim slight victories.
Delayed British report tells of Tur-
kish defeat near .Nasiriyes, Asiatic
Turkey, in which the Turks lost twen-
ty-five hundred killed, wounded and

Germany Asked

Of the Leelaaaw
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 29.--State de-
partment officials were today drafting
a note to Germany asking payment
for loss of American steamer Lee
lanaw, torpedoed by a German sub
marine off the Orkney islands last
Sunday on the ground of violation of
the Prussian-American treaty of
1928.
Preparation of the document fol-
lowed the receipt of a report from
American Consul Dennison at Dun
dee, Scotland, which showed that the
Leelanaw's captain attempted to es-
cape, but submitted to visit and
search after warning shots had been
fired. Officials hold that the right to
escape is conceded by international
law, only repeated attempts to evade
capture or forcible resistance being
regarded as affecting the case. The
claim for damages is similar to that
made in the case of the William P.
Frye.

Court Is Adjourned and
Case Will be Concluded
Today

Confusion reigned in the court room
of the court of record about 5:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon when,
after passing the lie back and forth
John P. Stokes, Judge A. G. Blount
and the latter's son, Clement Blount,
passed blows. Judge Blount was
struck a CHANGING blow on the shout
der as he rushed on Mr.. Stokes while
Clement Blount received blow in the
face, when he attempted to strike Mr..
Stokes. The combatants were sep
arated by attorneys who rushed be-
tween them and quiet was eventually
restored. in the court room.
The trouble had its inception fol-
lowing the argument of the Mallory
Allen damage claim for the sum of
$4,000 in the court of record.
Speeches had been delivered to the
jury by Mr.. Reese, who was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Stokes, as attorneys
for the plaintiff, Allen, son of the
late Prof. I. E. Allen, who was suing
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company. Judge Blount followed
Mr.. Reese and Mr.. Stokes followed
Judge Blount. In the course of his
remarks, Mr.. Stokes brought to the
attention of the jury the alleged man
ner in which the young plaintiff had
been led or induced to sign a paper,
releasing the Pensacola Electric Com
pany, which may have been defen-
dant in the course of time, in like
claim for damages. Judge Blount
took exceptions to the line of argu-
ment which Mr.. Stokes was present
ing very ably to the jury, and in
quired, in substance, if he meant to
imply unfair procedure had been re-
sorted to by his firm to obtain a re-
lease of the electric company. Mr..
Stokes, in reply, stated that he could
take it as he pleased, and then Judge
Blount said something else which was
not so audible. to which Mr.. Stokes
replied that "you are a liar"
With that things began to happen
rapidly. Judge Blount started to
reach for Mr. Stokes and the judges
son, who was assisting in the case,
caught hold of his father and held
him back just a second. Nearing Mr..
Stokes and striking fighting atti-
tude," as a lawyer termed it, the lead
ing counsel landed lightly on one an
other. Young Mr.. Blount tried to
strike Mr.. Stokes right at this time,
and this is when his face is said to
have stopped counter blow from the
big opposing lawyers clinched fist.

81 AssocIATEp PRESS.


Washington, July 9.-Demanding
in the name of humanity that food be
permitted to reach the starving peo-
pie of Mexico City, the state depart
ment tonight sent urgent representa-
tons to Carranza, Villa and Zapata,
declaring that the avenues of trans
portation to Mexico City must be
opened to provisions.
The text Of the communication was
not made public, but it is known that
the document is the forerunner Of
more definite action soon to be taken
in the form of a demand upon the
Mexican factions that they end the
strife and establish a constitutional
government.
Official reports from Mexico City
told of actual starvation there and
said conditions generally are worse
than ever. People of all classes are
suffering.
The state department message from
Vera Cruz told of an assault upon
Allan Mallory, an American citizen,
by Zapata soldiers near Puebla and
that the soldiers trampled upon the
American flag which he was flying
on his automobile. Mallory was
threatened with death when he pro-
tested against the soldiers taking two
Spaniards from the car. The Span
iards were sentenced to death, but il
is not known whether the sentence
was executed.

leo City that the United States will
make immediate representations to
Carranza and Zapata urging that pro-
visions be permitted to get through

Stories of alarming conditions have
reached the state department under
date of July Is.
Secretary Lansing said the first d.
rect official advices for several days
regarding conditions in the capital,
coming by courier to Vera Cruz show
the food shortage as desperate.
Representations to General Car
rama at Vera Cruz and General Zap
alta, whose forces said to be scattered
along the railroad and within Mexico
City itself, will go forward probably
today.
The report from Mexico City said
there were some Zapata troops within
the city, but no mention was made
of the Carranza army.

extent of the damage to the Cuneo
was not mentioned but obviously she
was not badly injured as repeated
reference was made In the wireless to
passengers having been transferred
to her.
At 1917 O'Clock the Holland
American line received the following
wireless: "Ryndam at 10 a. M, 124
miles off Ambrose channel; tunnel
much strained, but holding out"
The tunnel mentioned is portion
of the ships machinery which houses
the propeller shaft. The first word
received by the line from the captain
said: "Ryndam in collision with
steamer $3.50 p. M. Steamer standing
near"
Later it appeared that at least two
of the vessels water tight compart-
ments had been seriously stove in
and that water had entered the ships
engine room.
Reports from Newport, r. l., radio
station say the South Carolina is pro-
ceeding toward New York with pas
segners and part of the crew which
left the vessel after the collision.
The battleships Texas and Louisiana
are conveying the Ryndam and Cuneo
