BECKER WILL bE EXE U J I [ J
 TOMORROW

OSSINING, N. Y., July 29.-The execution of ex-Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, in fulfllment of his sentence for the murder of the New York gambler, Herman Rosenthal, has been set for 545 tomorrow morning. The matter of saving Becker's life and committing the death sentence to life Imprisonment, is entirely in the hands of Governor Charles Whitman, who as prosecutor of New York County, secured Becker's conviction, and whose work in breaking up the gangsters of New York City, com mencing with the Becker trial, landed him in the gubernatorial chair. Whit man has but lately expressed his opinion that the conviction of Becker was a just one, and it seems unlikely that anything will be done by the governor to stay the course of the law. The young wife of Becker, whose faith in her husband has re mained unshaken throughout all his diversity. will make a personal appeal to Whitman today to spare the life of the condemned man. Becker told the warden of the prison this morning that he was prepared to meet his fate and that he would die like a man, witt his eyes open and unafraid.
 The suit of clothes which Becker will wear to the electric chair have been delivered to him, and he re ceived them stoically and withou comment Samuel Haynes, negro will be executed a few minutes befor Becker.

WOULD HAVE MADE TRADE
Disqusted Drummer Was Willing to Accept Joking Offer if the Law
 Had Allowed 1t.

travelling salesman for a Ganse- voort street wholesale grocery firm, recently back from trip through the rough lands of eastern Pennsylvania. tells this possibly true tale:
 One day on my last trip 1 had six-mile ride to make to the county seat, and the small village in which I was had only one horse that could hire and no other form of convey ance. I may say that friend had landed me in the town that morning from his car and I had sold goods enough to pay the expenses of the trip.
 Well, I got away on the sorriest specimen of horse I ever straddled, and I was to send him back by mail carrier, though not as a parcel post package. It took me two hours to cover the distance-I was sorry enough 1 hadn't walked-and as I passed the county jail on my old bag of bones a face grinned at me from between the bars of a small square window. I was too sore to smile, but I nodded to the grin, and the prison CT called to me:
 Say mister, he said, how'd you like to trade that critter for 30 days in jail?'
 Just then I would have been glad enough to have traded, but the law wouldn't let me, and I rode on. - New York Sun

JOKE WAS ON INVESTIGATOR
He Had an Idea 1t Was on Restau- rant Proprietor, but 1t Turned
 Out Otherwise.

The late Norman B. Ream, the or ganizer of the steel trust and many other important corporations, once said to a New York reporter about a trust investigation:
 Maybe these investigations will have the same luck as the game warden.
 "A game warden heard that a res taurant was serving game out of sea- son. He disguised himself with false beard, visited the place and ordered a pheasant
 The pheasant, delicately high like roquefort cheese, as well as all good pheasant should be, was served to the game warden, and he devoured it to the last morsel, at the same time in fiicting severe punishment on bottle of rare old Burgundy-for the state, of course, paid for it all.
 At the end of his repast the game warden summoned the proprietor and said:
 "I arrest you, sir, in the name of the law!'
 The proprietor's mouth opened in astonishment He swallowed two or three times, then he gasped:
 'Wh-what for?'
 For serving inc pheasant out of season. said the game warden
 "A look of relief appeared on the proprietor's face
 "'Oh,' he said, that wasn't pheas- ant. It was crow.'"

 That the recent injunction granted by the United States District Court against the enforcement of the Rail road Commissions freight rates, so far is only the beginning of litigation with the Frisco over the rates. may be implied from the plans of the com mission.
 May 10 the commission will put into effect Tariff No. 5. The new tariff replaces No 3, against the en- foreement of which the injunction was granted. It is slightly higher than the old tariff, but 25 per cent lower than the tariff now in force on the Frisco. The tariff will be enforc- ed against the Frisco, and 1t is be- lieved the road will bring another suit against it's enforcement.
 The commission has announced it will fight the increased rates in eff feet on the Frisco as long as they are above what the commission believes just.
 ''The rates now in force on the Frisco are detrimental to the business of the state,' said J. Sam Roland, chairman of the commission. Tn many cases the rates have been doubled and some of the small Ter shippers are suffering heavily.
