EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
Plea Sent to Governor Last Night
Includes Statement of His
Version of Facts
NO DISCLOSURES OF GRAFT
Late Senator Tim" Sullivan Said
to Have Had Money in Rosen-
thal's Gambling House
NO DISCLOSURES OF GRAFT


New York, July 81. - Counsel for
Charles Becker awaited to-day the re-
suit OF Becker's appeal to Governor
Whitman to forbid his execution on
July 2S for the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal. Becker's plea sent to the
Governor at Albany last night included
long statement of his version of the
tacts leading up to the murder. In
this statement Becker denied COM
plicity in the murder and said that
State Senator Timothy d. Sullivan,
now dead, had told Becker that he
had S12,S00 invested in Rosenthars s
gambling house and that when Rosen-
thai began to. make public statements
about the raids on his place, Sullivan
eXacted a promise from Becker to keep
Sullivan's name out of it. Becker
said that he had kept his promise up
to the time of the making of his plea
for executive clemency.
No Graft Disclosures
Becker's statement made no dis
closures of police graft, but gave an
account of his movements on the night
of the murder.
Martin T. Manton, of Becker's
counsel, has announced that proceed
ingS will be started in day or two in
application for a new trial for Becker
on the grounds of newly discovered
evidence. The nature of the evidence
was not disclosed. 1t was reported
that friends of Sullivan have offered
to make affidavits substantiating in
part the story which Becker told.
w. Bourke Cochran, one of Beck
er's attorneys, who prepared a portion
of the statement sent to the Governor,
said it had been decided to take this
action in order to avoid a delay in
first appealing to a supreme justice for
new trial. Becker is ready to die.
He does not ask favors of any one but
he wants to prove his innocence" Mr..
Cochran said.

Bridgeport. Conn, July 21.-Strike
calls resulted to-day in machinists
throwing down their tools in a num-
Der of Bridgeport shops and walking
oat. Labor leaders claimed they had
taken 10 additional men from two
plants doing work for the Remington
Arms and Ammunition Company; that
pickets had succeeded in keeping so
men from work at the new plant of
the Remington concern; that 100 men
on the night shift of the Union Me-
tallic Cartridge Company had gone on
strike and that during the noon lunch
hour, hundreds of men on the day
shift quit They estimated this fore
noon that nearly five hundred skilled
were now on strike. They
reiterated their statement that there
would be a complete close down of
war munition factories by Saturday.
Disorder seemed imminent twice to-
day; once at the new Remington
plant, and once outside the works of
a contractor making machine tools of
the Remington company Dirt wag-
ons, driven two abreast. cleared the
road in front of the first named
plant. The police, according to an
official connected with the contratc-
ing concern, dispersed strikers and
sympathizers there after they had
made a demonstration against the
men who had remained at work.
The labor leaders asserted that 25
more guards at the Remington plant
had gone on strike for more money
to-day. Fifteen were said to have
walked out yesterday.

Crushing Blow on Cars

CONTINUED ADVANCE OF
ITALIANS is REPORTED
Official Statements Show
Kaiser's Armies Under
Guns of Russian Forts
Nineteen Miles From Capt.
tai of Poland

There is no halt, so far as official
reports indicate, in the Teutonic drive
aimed at Warsaw and having as a
larger motive the infiiction of crush
ing blow upon the Russian armies
The Russians, however, seem TO be
showing increasing powers OF resist
ance as the lines of the attacking hosts
draw closer to the Polish capital.
Latest Official statements showed
the Germans under the guns OF the
fortress of Nowo Georgievsk, the KEY
TO Warsaw on the north and only 19
miles from the city. Further north,
the fortress of Ostrolenka fell.
In the Baltic provinces the impress
siye German advances continued. The
campaign in this latter section is In
terpreted by military observers in
capitals of the entente allies as posi-
ly tended to cut in ON Russian lines of
communication and prevent sue
cessful retreat of their armies from
the Warsaw region.
Less speedy, but none the less steady
is the Austro-German advance through
Southern Poland. So far as reports
show the important communication
lines in the Lublin region have not
been pierced.
Continued advances by the Italians
in the Isonzo region are reported from
Rone, the most notable gain of
round being on the Corso plateau.
%he Austrian War office, however, de-
mics that the invaders are making
progress.
Little activity of a pronounced sort
is reported from the lines in France
and Belgium.
There have been no Official reports
for several days of the campaign in
the DarClanelies. The South Wales
coal strike has definitely ended with
the acceptance by the miners of the

FEDERAL INSPECTORS
FIND FEW VIOLATIONS
Local Druggists Conform With New
Drug Law; Warnings
Unnecessary

Federal authorities here have had
little trouble with violators of the drug
law which went into effect March l,
according to w. S. Bricker. revenue
collector in this city.
Following the statement by physi-
clans that hundreds of persons in this
city used dope" it was at first feared
the violations would be frequent, but
so far as is known the doctors in CO.
operation with local hospitals and the
county poor directors. helped to cure
practically all of the cases.
In other cities in the State the Gov
ernment was compelled to take string
ent measures and number of prose-
cutions were reported. In some cases
warnings were sent out to druggists
to take extra precautions in filing
prescriptions unless they knew that
they were given in good faith.
Warnings Unnecessary
Mr.. Bricker. chief deputy United
States Revenue Collector said this
morning that so far no such warnings
had been sent out to local druggists
and that with the exception Of a few
cases now being investigated, VIOLA
tions weer few.
The cases under investigation by
specialists according to Mr.. Bricker,
are ones in which medicines contain
ing dope" are being sold.
OF the many cases of dope" fiends
treated at the county almshouse total
cures were effected by the physicians.
So far as is known only a few deaths
resulted from the supply being shut
off, although it is believed that other
deaths were caused indirectly because
drugs could not be obtained.
Since the Federal law went into ef-
feet, government inspectors have been
in this city investigating cases, and 1t
is understood that they will remain
here for some time yet. No serious
offenses however, have been found it
