AMERICANS IN SERBIA
WIN LIPTONS PRAISE
Sir Thomas Calls Work Of Sanitation They Are Dong
"Miraculous" s"-Describes How They Are
Washing Whole Nation.

I only three suffering from typhus.
"At Uskub | saw in operation the
machinery with which American doc
tors and sanitary experts are washing
the whole nation. Near the town
three long railroad trains were stand
ing IN the midst OF a city of tents.
From these tents there poured an army
of naked men carrying their clothing.
Stopping at the first car, they deposited
their clothes, which were thoroughly
sterilized. Then the owners proceeded
10 the bath car, where attendants
placed them under high pressure water
pipes. When they were completely
scrubbed the next step was an lnspec-
ton by an American doctor, after
which the bathers received their ster-
ilized clothing.
Members of the Turkish population,
which is large in this part of Serbia,
protested vigorously against disro5ing
for the bath on the ground that such
procedure violated their religious
principles, but without avail. for the
American sanitary commission mas
complete power 10 enforce its regula-
tions. After the army of men had been
treated during the day, the women and
children were given baths during the
night.
"The next day | saw whole regil-
ment inoculated against cholera with
a speed and efficiency almost incred-
itle to any one who does not under
stand American methods. Cholera may
ccme again, but it is no longer feared.
I'm brief, it can be said that Ameri-
can methods of prevention and cure
have saved Serbia from what threat
cned at one time to be the worst series
os epidemics ever suffered by mod
ern nation"

Transatlantic Deal
Ratified by Lansing

Washington, July 30.-Admission to
American registry of twelve foreign
built steamers purchased for the Amer
lean Transatlantic Company was as
sured to-day. when Secretary Lansing
transmitted 10 the Department of Com
merce a written memorandum holding
that neither international law nor poll
icy stood in the way of the transfer.
Despite the report of the Bureau of
Navigation that the transactions were
financed by Hugo SHINES, of Essen,
Germany, the State Department held
that neither this government nor the
prize courts of belligerent nations
could 60 behind the bona tde owner
ship and that a mortgage held by
citizen Of a belligerent country on
ship would not justify its seizure if
the ownership was neutral.
The twelve vessels have an aggregate
Of 44,25l gross tons and are valued at
more than 100000. Eleven were
originally of Dutch, Norwegian or
Greek ownership, but six of these, since
their purchase by Albert Jensen, agent
for SHINES, have been placed under
the Danish flag. One vessel, an oil
tanker, is in course of construction in
German shipyard at either Kiel or
DantZig.

FIRST WIFE'S KIN
ABSOLVE BECKER
Niece COrroborates His
Denial of Mystery in
Aunt Mays" Death.

In his demand upon Governor Whit
man to absolve him from suspicion in
connection with the death of his first
wife, Charles Becker, on the brink of
the grave, uttered at least one truth,
that Mrs. Becker died from hasty con-
sumption, according to relatives of the
dead woman found in Newark yester-
day. Corroborative Of the words Of
Becker were the words Of Mrs. John II.
Taylor, a niece of Mrs. Becker, who re-
called the death not long after her mar
riage to Becker of her Aunt May"
That there was not the slightest sus-
picion entertained by any of the rela-
tives of the first Mrs. Becker regarding
the cause or manner of her death was
asserted by Mrs. Taylor. Becker ap-
parently went to his death unaware
that his first father-in-law, Jeremiah
Mahoney, had preceded him by but six
weeks into the other world.
Mr.. Mahoney. who in 1895, when he
lived at 1T Washington Street, Manhat-
tan, gave his daughter in marriage TO
Becker, died June IA last at the home of
another married daughter, Mrs. Thomas
Cross. at 27l North Seventh Street,
Newark, from the effects of fall. Mr..
and Mrs. Cross are on their vacation in
Middletown, n. Y.
Upon the death Of Mrs. Becker Mr..
Mahoney moved TO his daughters home
in Newark. Although he, his daugh-
ter and other relatives followed the de-
velopments in the Becker case closely,
they never limited to their closest
friends of the relationship between the
family and the police lieutenant. Mrs.
Taylor. who was much in the company
of other members of the Mahoney fami-
", had never heard word Of malice
or criticism against Becker.
"My aunt, May Becker. died from
CONSUMPTION" said Mrs. Taylor, at her
home. 339 North Seventh Street, but
| do not remember exactly what da:e.
She was living then at my grandfathers
home, at III Washington Street, New
York, and had early care and attention.

Other Three Informers Away

Paid Penalty of Law.

Those whose lives were directly af-
fected by Charles Becker's instigation
Of Herman Rosenthal's murder were
little concerned yesterday over his
death, but almost unanimously ex-
pressed their sorrow for his wife.
Becker is a victim of his own greed
said Mrs. Herman Rosenthal, who is
visiting friends in Long Island. when
Becker expiatcd his crime this morning
it was not because Of anything that
any one else had done. Becker brought
his doom upon himself. He first be-
came greedy, then drunk with power.
When my poor husband opposed MIN
he became desperate"
Mrs. Rosenthal said she could not
sleep all night. Pity for Mrs. Becker,
whose position she can readily under
stand, kept her awake.

defended him. Love is a strange thing
and works miracles" she said, yet IT
was her husbands own act that has

the proceedings | have had the great
ernor Whitman. He has stood his
ground like a brave man."
The nineteen-y earold wife Of Lefty

men executed last year for the killing
of Rosenthal, also devoted her pity to
Mrs. Becker.

trial-to tell more than | ever had be-
fore. Becker was the guilty man, the
man behind the gun"
Justice has been meted out" said
Sam Schepps, one of the four informers.
Becker got what he deserved, because
he was guilty. | have no sympathy
for the man, but do feel keenly for
his brave little wife. My heart goes
out to her"
Bridge Weber could not be reached
to talk on the execution. He and a
party of his friends are on fishing
trip at the Weber camp, Lake Nom
basha, Orange County.
Jack Rose could not be found in New
York Yesterday, and it was reported
he had gone into hiding in South Nor
walk, Conn. A short time before
Rockers death he said he would suffer
the torn ents of the damned while the
former police lieutenant was being
killed in the chair. Vallon. the fourth
conspirator, is said to be in Pitts
burgh.
