FRENCH

Paris, March 6.-The war office gave
out this afternoon the following ac-
count of the events of yesterday at the
front:
Somewhat lively artillery actions
occurred around Nieuporti and Ypres.
From the Lys to the Aisne there was
an intermittent cannonade
In Champagne our progress yester-
day in the ravine northwest of Bease-
jour caused the Germans last night to
undertake fresh counter-attacks which
we repulsed.
sAn our advance in the region of
Perthes reported in yesterday even
ing's communication has been main
tanned. Near Melville En- aye, north
west of Pont-A-Mousson, a well-di-
rected fire upon farm caused a pan
ic among the soldiers occupying It.
They fed to the woods, pursued by our
shells. Near the forest of Narroy,
whole bodies Of Germans unsuccessful
" attempted attacks on our outposts. .

st. RGary's VS., st. Charles.
At st. Charles court on East Main
street last night the st. Charles Ave
went down before St. Rary's quintet
IN one Of the most heart-breaking
defeats ever witnessed in this city.
The strain was too much for the av-
erage fan and the st. Charles players
felt the defeat more keenly than any
yet administered to that hust1ing i've.
They have now lost s games, i've of
them by one basket.
It was the same dangerous combin-
alton of Hurley. whelan and sny-
der that starred for the 1ary's while
Christy was all over the floor. Stirks
also played flI1e game. The first
half it was nip and tuck and the half
wound up with the score at 8 to II
in favor of the st. Maryss. Christy
opened the second half by imme-
diateIy caging one and this was fol-
lowed up by one by Morrissey. The
cause of several of the Charles past
defeats was again apparent when
Hurley Gagged three points on free
tries after four fouls had been called
ute left to play st. Charles were
leading ID to 16 when Hurley tailed
tieing the score. Christy then Gagged
another for st. Charles and it look
ed like a victory for the home team.
But it was not to be so. Hurley re-
CG1VGQ the DILL Oh q O080I41GAf R<Az1Ss
from Snyder, and Gagged what proved
to be the winningSbasket.
Then the Charles started to bonn
bard the Mary's basket. Four times
in rapid succession Moran bounded
the ball off the rim but 1T simply
would not go In. To make matters
worse Christy dropped one plump in
to the basket and after fully thirty
seconds of tantalizing and heart
breaking revolving around the rim
the mean thing jumped out. But
Bobby Followed 1t up and twice more
he Gagged the ball only to have it
come out again.
The luck was against the st.
Charles But to give credit where
credit is due, the st. Mary's played
| like champions. 1t was the finest
ana most evenly played game in the
history OF the league and the rooters
! who were fortunate to be present were
| loud in their praise OF the work OF
both teams. The score:

BECKER TELLS HIS
VERSION OF CRIME
SAYS "TIAI" SULLIVAN GAVE
ROSE MONEY TO GET ROS-
ENTHAL OUT OBJ CITY,

New York City.-Another effor,
to save the life OF Charles Becker, the
former New York police lieutenant
who is sentenced to die July 2Sth
for instigating the murder of Her
man Rosenthal. the gambler, was
made Tuesday night when a $1,000
word statement prepared by Becker
in the Sing Sing prison death house
and said to contain numerous facts
was placed in the hands OF Governro
Whitman at Albany.
With the statement was a request
that the governor grant the condemn
ed man a respite ''in the light of GER
tain facts now disclosed for the first
time. .
Becker's statement done in his
own handwriting, is chronological
history told in plain language OF
what he said We're his dealings with
Rosentahl and the others mentioned
in the murder case.
The name of the late Timothy d.
Sullivan, at the time of the Rosenthal
affair, a state senator, is brought in
to Beckers statement at length.
Becker claims that Sullivan had in
tervened With the police in an effort
to get permission for Rosenthal to
run his gambling house, saying that
he was financially interested in the
house and wanted to help Rosenthal
Later after Rosenthal's place was
raided. and the latter, being angry,
began publishing charges against
Becker, Sullivan, according to the
statement called the police lieuten-
ant in and said that Rosenthal must
be induced to leave town because if
an inquiry We're started it might
reach into election matters, situa-
tion he wished to avoid. This was not
long before the assassination of
Rosenthal.
Becker says it is common report
that a sum of money was raised, pre-
sumably by Rose, from the gamblers
to get Rosenthal away. Rosenthal re.
fused the sum offered, but consented
to go for larger sum. 1t is said
that it was for this larger sum that
he was waiting at the hotel Metro
pole when he was shot. Becker adds
that if it could be shown that Rose
had been intrusted with sum of
money to be given Rosenthal it
would shed a food of light on the
wole transaction and would explain
the source of the $1,000 which Rose
admittedly had paid to the gunner.
