Murder.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Charles
Becker's own version Of the murder
of Gambler Rosenthal, for which the
former police lieutenant is sentenced
to die a week from today, was given
to Governor Whitman at Albany to-
day by the doomed mans counsel in
an eleventh hour attempt to gain
executive clemency.
The story which covers over sixty

Becker. In it he denies that his re-
lations with the gambling fraternity
were ever anything more than those

EXPECT NO PROTEST
ON TAX VALUATIONS
State Officials Do Not Expect That
"kicks" Will be Forthcoming
as Result Of Adjustment.

State officials do not expect pro-
test to be made over the state over
the adjustments in assessments of
real estate which were made Monday
by the state executive council. They
believe that the bitterness which de-
veloped in 1913 when number of the
counties were materially raised, has
practically died away and that taxa
ton will not be an issue in the next
campaign, says the Register and
Leader.
The council stood pat on its work
Of two years ago. Although there
were a number of counties which tried
to secure lower valuations. the coun-
Gil put back the values to the schedule
arranged two years ago. Van Buren,
county where the taxation war broke
out two years ago, had reduced valua'
lions forty per cent, therefore the
council ordered an advance OF forty
per cent in the figures as reported by
the assessors. Marion county was or
dered to double the assessments of
real estate reported by the assessor
this year.
