So far as records show HaytL the Negro Republic has not lost a minute fin peacefulness since it first rose to the dignity of a government not long after che island was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1892 and claimed for Spain.
 In the early part of the seventeenth century @ colony of bucanueers made Hayti their piracy headquarters and almost without break the country has since that time been the scene Of con- tinuous trouble and political disorder. The main couse of the trouble seems to be the fact that the population is composed of negroes for the most part and about 10 per cent muiattoes who are of higher order of mental ity than the blacks and who conse- quenty have been the instgators of fierce ciass-hatred. Through the colonization by the buccaneers France received Hayti as one of the terms of the Treaty of Rhyswick in 169I. Then

Especial TO The Times Dispatch.1
NEW YORK, May 2a.-Haring aban-
doned all hope of escaping death in the
electric chair in the week OF July IL
for the murder OF Herman Roscnthal.
Charles Becker. ex-police lieutenant, is
bitterly defiant and threatens publicly
to repudiste any efforts on the part Of
his wife or friends to appeal to Cover
nor Whitman for clemcncy.
Neither does he want his counsel to
carry his case to the United states Su-
premc Court on writ of error, stating
that he is resigned to his fate, and that
he will go into eternity with the belief
that the person responsible for sending
him there will feel the full weight OF
that responsibility.
Il am through. l don't want any
thing done. have lost faith in God
and man" he said
The above statement. and the infor-
nation contained herein. can be taken
without a question authentic. and
came from person in authority in
connection with the Becker case. who
talked for full hour this afternoon
after discussing the situation with
Becker in the death house at Sing Sing
prison.
According to this person Becker's en-
tire attitude has changed since he re-
ceived the news that the State Court
OF Appeals had decided he was not en-
titled to a new trial, (which he fully ex-
pected. So great was the shock that it
is the belief OF the informant that
Becker has become temporarily unbal-
anced.
Next Tuesday there will be 4 confer
ence between Mrs. Becker and Martin
Manton. Becker's attorney. and il will
be determined finally whether there
shall be an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court. II 1t Is decided not to
proceed further, then Mr. Manton will
be through with the case.
WIFE DETERMINED TO CARRY
HER APPEAL TO GOVERNOR
John and Jackson Becker. his broth
ers:. his sister and his wife want to
night to the end. but Becker is standing
in the way. Mrs. Becker also is de-
termined to carry her appeal to Gov
ernor Whitman in spite Of her hus-
bands protests.
In the excited and bitter state of
mind. Becker has thrown down religion,
which up until last Monday, he so ar
IDENTIFY embraced. but Father Cashin
believes 1t to be only temporary, duo
to his condition.
It is learned that on last Monday, be-
fore the decision Of the Court OF APP
peals. Becker sent for Father Ca hin
and wanted him to administer com
munion on Tuesday morning. The pas
tor. II is said, could not get there on
ha ,1d
administer the sacrament on the fol-
lowing day.
In the meantime. on Tuesday after
noon. Becker received word that he
would obtain no new trial. When
Father Cashin entered the death house
on Wednesday morning, Becker, il is
alleged. refused to accept communion.
nor would he discuss religion. and has
not spoken OF the subject since.
