REVISION IN CHARGES NEEDED.
I. c. c. Rules Regarding Terminal
Situation at New York City.

Thorough revision of the terminal
charges and practices Of the railroads
serving New York city are declared
necessary in a decision just rendered
by the interstate commerce commission.
Reduction Of free storage time for in
bound New York freight on the New
Jersey side and an increase in storage
charges after the free time ends were
approved. Similar changes on other in
bound freight were disapproved. A
charge of IL cents a ton when a rail-
road handles freight at a pier other
than its own was disapproved. To al
low that increase, the commission said,
would add approximately 100000 to
the cost of materials for the new sub

A lengthy statement to Governor
Whitman was given out by Becker
late yesterday. Becker reiterated his
innocence and declared he had never
offered to plead guilty to second de-
gree murder.
A statement credited to Mrs. Beck

her husbands death.

as saying, until have exposed the
methods which were used to convict
my husband. Whether no was guilty
or innocent, there was no justification
for the means employed to convict
him.
Il would rather lose all the other
members of my family as dear as
they are to me, than lose Charlie. No
one can take his place. In all of the
ten years of our married life, never
had occasion once to regret that was
his wife.
"Charlie was no angel. He made
no pretense of being one. He was
just an ordinary human being-and
perhaps that is why 7 loved him So"
DR.. w. o. Stillnan, of Auburn, who
assisted in the autopsy, said that
Becker showed unusual resistance 20
the electric fluid. After the autopsy,
DR.. Stillman said:
81 noticed no unusual effects upon
Becker's vital organs. The way he
resisted the strong current was re-
markable, showing him to be an IN
usually powerful man."
It was expected that Becker's body
would be removed some time today to
New York, where funeral services
probably would be held on Sunday.

CAPT. J.. ROURKE
DIES SUDDENLY
ATBAGDAD HOME

Captain John Rourke, aged so
years, died last night at 10 o'clock,
at his home in Bagdad, his demise
coming on very suddenly. A long dis
lance message at midnight stated
that he was in apparent good health
up to an hour of his death, and he
passed away very suddenly.
He is Immediately survived by
devoted wife, but number of other
relatives throughout Santa Rosa
county also survive the venerable old
soldier, for if there was anything
which appealed to the heart of the old
gentleman, it was his experience in
the civil war, and there are many
in Pensacola today, who, knowing him
have heard from his lips many an
exploit in which he figured in the SOS.
Announcement of the hour of his
funeral will be made tomorrow, and
it is possible a number of close friends
residing in Pensacola will attend the
services.
