With Whom He Divided Graft.
New York, July 5.-Charles Becker
in the death house at Sing Sing will
reveal, before he goes to the death
chair, the names of the police DEPART
ment officials. living and dead, with
whom he divided the 100000 graft
money that was wrung from the gam
blers and illegal resort keepers in his
career as commander of the strong
arm squad.
This was the prediction made by
the condemned mans lawyer, Martin
T. Manton, who gave to the governor
the names of the six men who worked
in the background and took the casa
that Becker ground out of evil doers
Not all of these men are living, but
those that are alive ought to be shak-
,Manton, because Becker is desperate
now that nope is practically gone.
The lawyer himself would not make
public the names of the officials ac-
cused by Becker. He said that he was
bound not only by the ethics of his
profession and his promise to Cover
nor Whitman, but was restrained also
by the possibility that some of the
men named by Becker might be false,
ly accused. He is certain, however
that Becker intends to tell, and ex
plains that Becker is swayed mostly
by the feeling that he doesn't want
other men to be used as tools and
then cast aside when they are NJ
longer useful and merely dangerous.

LONDON says his name HaS DlSdp-

London, July 5.-One query fre-
quently heard in military circles is,
What has become of Won linden
burg?"
For more than two months now no
answer of it has been obtainable. the
lion of the MazuIian lakes, the victor
of Tannenberg and the two German
sweeps of Poland has disappeared
from official and unofficial reports as
utterly as if he had forsaken his COM
mand and left the army.
swer. BY some it is thought that tho
field marshal, who was national idol,
is now preparing to lead the Germans
into Russia by way of the Baltic prov
inces and perhaps to command the ad-
vance upon Petrograd by way Of the
Gulf of Riga. The other theory is due
to reports received more than month
ago that the kaiser as well as his IA
yored officers were inclined to be
jealous of the popularity of the griui
old warrior. They were perfectly will
ing to divide the eastern operations
among the other generals if they
could, and hence since the Carpathian
drive began the names always men
toned have been Won Mackensen, who
has been made a field marshal; Won
Linsingen, who has received the order
Pour lie Merite; Won Woyrasch and

JUSTIFY SINKING
OF ARMENIAN
German Naval Officials Say She
Attempted to Escape.

London, July 5.-The German ad-
miraity at Berlin issued two state
ments, one justifying the destruction
of the, Leyland liner Armenian and the
other denying the Russian claim that
a German cruiser of the type of the
Magdeburg mad been sunk in the Bal
tic
The statement supporting the de-
Struction of the Armenian by the SUBJ
marine U3S was evidently called
forth by the fact that number of
Americans lost their lives. This state
ment follows:
In regard to the sinking of the
Armenian, it is ascertained that the
captain refused to heave to when or
dered to do so. and for an hour tried
to escape. In his own words, he did
not want to give up without a fight,
and he only stopped his ship when
twelve or thirteen men lay dead upon
the decks. The submarine acted in
strict accordance with international
law throughout"
In regard to the Russian report that
German cruiser had been destroyed
off the Courland coast, the admiralty
issued the following succinct bulletin !:
tine Russian report that one of their
torpedo boats sank German cruiser
is pure invention"
Naval Battle In Baltic.
Details of the naval battle between
Russian and German cruisers in the

but not officially confirmed. that the
battle was renewed and that thirty
warships. ten being cruisers and TWEEN

The official story of the action from
Petrograd claims that Russian cruis.
er squadron drove a German cruiser
ashore, but all unofficial reports agree
that the vessel which met disaster
was the mine layer Albatross and that
twenty-one of the crew were killed.
Petrograd claims that the German
vessels retired before the Russian at
tack while unofficial accounts of the
engagement declare that Russia's war
ships had to retire before superior
numbers after a battle lasting half a
day

Shaughnessy, president of the Cana

America on board the Red Star liner
Lapland, bringing with him authority
from the British government to ham
die all Canadian war supplies for the
allies. He has been in London con-
ferring with Lord Kitchener on the
munitions situation for the past
month. Sir Thomas said:
"It is untrue that Canada is not
getting just share of the war orders.
The Dominion is getting a rightful
share, but we expect to speed up pro-
duction. Canada's new mission is to
feed England, as well as supply need

more land under cultivation than ever
before, and we won't encourage re-
cruiting until after the harvest. We
shall need all our men in the wheat
fields until then"
