MRS. BECKER, AGEb 50
CONVICTED OF MURDER
STAYS ANOTHER WOMAN OF SAME
AGE FOR SIS.

DETROIT, Mich, April 15.-Mrs.
Caroline T. Becker, so years old, has
been found guilty of a murder in the
first degree for having caused the
death of Miss Francis Bomholt last
December.
Evidence given at the trial showed
that Miss Bombolt was beaten to death
with a piece of coal and that robbery
was the motive for the crime.
Miss Bombholt was about the same
age as Mrs. Becker. The women were
neighbors and always had been on
friendly terms.a Shortly after her ar
rest, Mrs. Becker confessed. accord
ing to the police, giving details of the
murder, She said she needed money
to make payment on her home. She
| first attacked Miss Bomholt iii the
coal shed then followed her into her
bed room and beat her on the head
util life was extinct, She obtained
only SIS.
The presiding judge at the trial
ruled out Mrs Becker's confession and
permitted no allusion to it by the
prosecution. The testimony largely
was circumstantial although the con-
demned woman admitted having called
at Miss Bomholt's house the morning
of the murder. She denied, however,
that she had seen Miss Bommolt at the
time.

JOHNSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT
FIRST WILLARD EVER SAW.

years, Corbett lasted five, Fitz only
two, Jeffries stretched over eleven;
Johnson held the crown five. That
gives the average champion a seven
year-term.
Willard ought to last this long. He
is young, a clean liver, ambitious,
strong and is daily adding to mis- fight
ing equipment. Willard hasn't any
politics. His father was a Republican
but he has Independent political
thought, which goes with his Kansas
breeding.
Willard Is Very
Fond of Baseball.
He played some baseball and likes
to see it played. Now his training
gives him all the athletic amusement
he needs, so he doesn't golf, but he is
thinking of taking that up. He likes
to read newspapers and magazines.
That is his chief diversion, and he
does not insist upon reading only ar
ticles about himself.
Altogether, he is an unspoiled, we'll
behaved clean-1iVing unStandino
quiet hammered young countrymal.
He isn't the sort of fellow that looks
as if Broadway could get him as it got
Jeffres on his visits to New York, an
others He shows no mark of the
fight save a cut lip and a bruised ear.
He said Johnson's hardest blows didn
hurt him, and they were mighty
blows.

(By Robert Edgren, in New Orleans
States.)
NEW YORK, April 15.-When asked
today haw he happened to take up
boxing, Jess willard, the new cham
pion, and right now the most talked
about man in the world, said;
q first got ideas of taking up the
sport when | heard that Jim Jeffries,
the famous fighter, had been knocked
out by Jack Johnson, colored man.
got it into my head that on account of
my extraordinary size l would have a
good chance to defeat the negro, pro-
viding l made a careful study of the
game. Up to this time l had never
seen boxing match-let alone had a
pair of gloves on my hands. l moved
to Sapulpa, Okla, and saw Carl Nor
ris, an avowed white hope, box, and as
boxing didn't look very hard to me
decided to start learning at once. l
SPARED with Morris, with the idea al
ways in my mind of some day being fit
to meet Johnson.
Willard was never knocked down in
four and half years, in the ring or in
training. He hopes to end his career
with the same record. He's so we'll
put together that he doesn't look his
six feet and half. He has a
thin, keen face is dark in complexion,
has gray eyes shaded by long lashes,
high forehead and wavy black hair
parted on the side. He has a sensitive
mouth and a we'll turned chin.
He doesn't look like a prize fighter;
he doesn't act one, nor are his in
stincts those of a fighter. In fact, his
handlers complain it's hard to arouse
his fighting spirit, that he's too much
inclined to take things easy and not
hurt the other fellow. He has a COM
mon school education, received in
Kansas, with year in high school.
Then he punched cattle for couple of
years, leaving that to go into horse
and mule handling.

Willard Uses Good,
Plain English.

He was good man at this, AMI
made enough money to marry ami
keep his family comfortably. He has
four children, three girls and a boy,
Jess, Jr, four months old. The oldest
is seven years old. His wife and chill
dren now live in Los Angeles.
Willard is soft spoken, and uses
good, plain English. He thinks well,
forms his own opinions. Distinctly he
is of far higher type than the prize
ring usually produces. In mental
equipment, only Corbett, to whom 1.e
bears slight resemb lance, is his equal.
Those who like dope" can add this
fact to their store; the battle in which
the championship passed was the
longest heavyweight championship
fight since the ring passed under Mar
quis of Queensberry rules. 1t went
twenty-six rounds. Corbett beat Sui
livan in twenty-one in 1892; Fitzsim-
mons beat Corbett in fourteen in 1897:
Jeffries beat F'itzsimmons in eleven in
1899; Johnson beat Jeffries in fifteen

USED AS SMALL
MERCHANT MARINE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
Because of lack of shipping facilities
between the Philippine Islands and
Continental United States, transports
belonging to the United States army
are to be utilized for carrying goods
from the islands which connot be
transported in any other way.
This decision was reached after a
conference of officials and increased
parties this morning, and the plan is
to be put into immediate effect. A
chaotic con litions in shipping circles
generally since the beginning of the
European war is held responsible for
necessity of using army transports in

ROME DEEDS CEMETER!
LOT To PRESIDENT
(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1S.-Deeds to
the two cemetery lots adjoining that
in which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is bu-
ried will be made out to President
Wilson as a gift from the city council
of Rome, Ca, the former home of Mrs.
Wilson, and where she was buried last
year.
Members of the Hunt and Bowie
families, who owned the lots, con-
scented to accept others in exchange.
The additional space will give oppor-
tunity for identifying and caring for
the Wilson lot, which was small
one.
