Becker ChafeS in Cell
Waiting for Wife'S Step

From stan Core pendent OF TIE Iuoune.l
Ossining, n. Y, July 29.-Mrs.
Charles Becker came TO Sing Sing
Prison late tonight TO meet her hus-
band for the last time before he dies.
She had leaped into a tsxicab after
her hopeless conference with Cover
nor Whitman at Poughkeepsie and
started full speed for Ossining. But
the chauffeur lost his way, and the
faithful little wife did not reach the
prison until 1925 o'clock.
The taxicab drove up 20 the en-
trance nearest the warden's private
quarters, and John B. Johnston, one
Of Becker's lawyers, got out. Behind
him came Mrs. Becker. She walked
down the stone steps, supported on
either side by Deputy Warden John
son and Principal Keeper Dorner.
Ordinarily a woman OF remarkable
self-control, it would have been hard
for any one who did not know her
well to tell how affected she really
was.

New York City, during the last night
Charles Becker was to spend upon
earth, fostered a half-dozen gambling
places and a score of haunts for worse
vices within a stones throw Of the
spot where Herman Rosenthal met his
death.
Gambling lies at the bottom of the
Rosenthal crime. II was through the
indifference of the city that certain
members of the underworld, of tainted
memory, grew powerful enough through
their proprietorship over games Of
chance, run openly and shamelessly, TO
swing the whole crime system of New
York at their bidding. Rose. Vallon
and Weber no longer conduct their
houses, but some of their ilk still are
running stuss, poker and crap games
within a few yards of Longacre Square.
The back room Of many saloons on
Sixth Avenue is a local clearing house
for vice. The upper floors of many Of
them are turned over to enterprising
gentlemen. who reap fortunes from the
proceeds of their gambling joints.

From The Tubun. Bureau J

Washington, July 29.-Secretary Of
State Lansing has protested TO the
German government against the forg-
ing Of American passports by German
authorities. Representations were made
Yesterday, and are the result OF an
Investigation which disclosed that a
passport factory was in full operation
in Holland under the supervision OF
German army officers.
This factory, it is understood, has
a complete outfit for forging American
passports, even TO the manufacture of
paper with the American water mark,
while the German officers are said to
have duplicates of American seals.
The arrest Of an American named
Creeckow. who went to London from
Holland some time ago seeking mill
tary information, is said to have
brought out the details of the plot.
Creeckow was a German, but was nat
uralized in New York several years
ago. The name on the passport which
he was given by the German authorities
In Holland was Rowland, under which
name he travelled to London.

MRS. ROGERS WINS
HER DIVORCE TO-DAY
Husband, Though Freed, Cannot
Wed Ida Sniffen Walters
in This State.

Notice for final decree of divorce
was filed yesterday before Justice Ford
in the Supreme Court for Mrs. Caro-
line Giddings Rogers from Lorlys Elton
Rogers, father of the two children OF
Mrs. Ida Snifen Walters, for whose
murder by poisoning she is now under
indictment.
No opposition to the decree was put
in by NJ. L. Jacobs. who represented
Rogers, and it is expected it will be
signed and entered to-day. The suit
was heard April s, and was not de-
Tended. Justice Giegerich gave Mrs
Rogers her interlocutory decree May s.
No alimony was asked for, but the
court intimated that an allowance
would be made if it was demanded.
Mrs. Walters, whose act in poison
ing her children resulted in the ex-
posure Of Rogers's dual life and who
is ou. under bail pending her trial, is
still in seclusion. 1t has been report
ed that Rogers wanted to marry her
as soon as he was divorced, but he is
prevented from doing this by the terms
of Mrs. Walters's release on bail, the
Judge having forbidden her TO leave
the state. Under the law, Rogers can
not marry her in New York.

Albany, July 30.-Governor whitman

"Of course. Becker can say that he

at His Own Request.

lFrom star Correspondent Of The Tr.bunel
Ossining, y. Y, July 29.-At o'clock
this morning Charles Becker, who was
to die at 5:i5, had made no attempt to
sleep. He was sitting on the edge Of
his cot, apparently in deep meditation.
He had not shown the slightest sign
of breaking down, although he had less
than three hours to live. Deputy War
den Johnson consented to accompany
him to the chair. Warden Osborne had
not retired.
Becker bade his wife goodby at ex-
actly 1890 this morning. Mrs. Beck
er, in accordance with instructions
given by Warden Osborne, was al
lowed to spend but one hour with her
husband.
Throughout the interview Becker
bore up bravely, and did his ut
most to console his weeping wife.
After Becker had been led back to
his cell, Mrs. Becker, accompanied
by her brother, John Lynch. who
had been present during her talk
with the doomed man, went to the
! private office of Warden Osborne,
where she waited for an automobile
to take her to New York.
Chooses Second Car.
There was some trouble about
getting car, and one which drew
up at the prison door was sent back
TO the garage on instructions from
Mrs. Becker. A few moments later
another machine appeared on the
next street, high above the prison
yard.
At once the private car of Warden
Osborne, which had been standing in
front Of his quarters. was cranked
Mr.. Osborne emerged from his Office,
followed closely by Mrs. Becker, Mr.
Lynch and Deputy Warden Johnson.
Evidently Becker's efforts 70 COM
fort his wife had succeeded 70 a GER
tain extent, for she walked without,
assistance. and her step was firm as
she went up the stairs 10 the waiting
car
/ Mr.. Osborne opened the door and
assisted her into the machine. Her
brother followed, as did Mr.. Johnson,
who went along to see that the trans.
fer to the other machine was made
and that Mrs. Becker was on her way
to her home. She left the prison
at 1:15.
Writes Death Statement.
When Deputy Warden Johnson re-
turned to the prison, little after 1880
o'clock, he said Becker had written a
statement of about one hundred words
which was not TO be made public until
after his death. He gave no intimation
Of the contents Of the document.
During the conference between
Becker and his wife the condemned
man sent for Mr. Johnson and urged
him to promise that he would accom-
pany him TO the chair The deputy
warden said he would try to arrange
il, but at a late hour had not made up
his mind definitely as TO whether he
would go.
At 2 o'clock Warden Osborne was
still at the prison, and it was thought
he would remain throughout the exc
cution, contrary TO the custom he has
established since he has been IN charge.

HAYTIANS RESIST
LANDING OF U.S..
FORCES AT NIGHT
Opposition Is Overcome
Without Casualties, Ad-
miral Caperton Reports.

Washington, July 25.-American ma
rines landed at Port-au-Prince, Hayti,
last night encountered resistance,
which was overcome without casualties
among the sailors. The following mes
sage from Rear Admiral Caperton was
given out at the Navy Department to-
day:
Landing forces established in city.
Slight resistance during the early part
of night as advance was being made.
This resistance easily overcome. No
casualties to our force. Am proceeding
to disarm Haytian soldiers and civil
ians to-day"
The message was the first .ntimation
received by the Navy Department that
Admiral Caperton's men from the
cruiser Washington had met resistance.
Previous dispatches merely said he had
established his landing force ashore
and placed a guard about the French
Legation. His first report, however,
suggested that a regiment Of marines
be sent to Port-au-Prince to enable him
to police the entire city.
Bivouac in Market Place.
An earlier dispatch from Admiral
Caperton said:
The landing force entered Port-au-
Prince and bivouacked for the night
at the market place in the northern
part of the city. A guard was placed at
the French Legation. No serious dis
turbance. This action was decided on
after consultation with the American
charge d'affaires and French and Brit
ish charge d'affaires''
/, Admiral Caperton's force was in
creased to-day by the arrival of 100
marines from Guantanamo on the col
lier Jason. In all he has available be-
tween 400 and 500 marines and blue
jackets for shore duty, backed up by
the guns of the cruiser. No arrange
ments had been made tonight to send
him additional marines.
The French cruiser Descartes
reached Port-au-Prince from Cape
Haytien to-day. A small force from
the UnlleQ States survey ydCHI LdBlt
was landed the latter place TO guard
the French Consulate. which has
opened its doors to refugees from
Port-au-Prince.
French Marines Withdrawn.
Officials said no new instructions had
been forwarded TO Admiral Caperton,
and no representations had been made
by the French government regarding
the violation of the French Legation at
Port-au-Prince. Several weeks ago
French marines were landed at Cape
Haytien from the Descartes to protect
foreigners during an outbreak there.
Upon the arrival of Admiral Caperton
the French marines were Withdrawn
and the task of safeguarding life and
property of foreigners was turned over
to the United States.
The American and French command
ers are expected to cooperate in ar
rangements for protecting foreigners
at Port-au-Prince.
% advices have reached here regard
ing the status of the government in
Hayti since the assassination of Presi-
dent Guillaume. 1t is assumed the
rebels are in control.
