BECKER LOSES;
 GIVES UP FIGHT
Re- affirms Innocence of Rosenthal Murder-Will
 Not Appeal to Whitman,

Ossining, N. Y.. May 25.-Charles Becker will not ask for a commuta- tion of the sentence of death imposed upon him by Justice Seabury, he in formed Father Cashin, his spiritual adviser, this afternoon. after he re- ceived the news of the appellate courts refusal of a new trial, in the death house at Sing Sing.
 Becker stated he believed he had put up the hardest fight possible for his life, and although. he still as- serts he is innocent, he feels it will be utterly useless to appeal to Governor Whitman, who, as district attorney. prosecuted him through two trials.
 q had foreboding that this was coming, when I did not hear from you sooner" Becker said to Charles Johnson, deputy warden. who took the news to Becker at o'clock this afternoon. "But I still had hopes" he added.

JULY 4 CELEBRATION.
East Pine Bluff Civic League Ar-
 ranges for Big Barbecue.

Plans for the barbecue and all-day picnic, to be given July at the be- ginning of the pike in South Main street, were discussed and advanced at a largely attended meeting of the East Pine Bluff civic league last night, . at the home of Mrs. w. R. Barrick- low, in East Sixth avenue.
 Because the proceeds of the affair will be used to lay concrete sidewalks around the churches in East Pine : Bluff, it is believed there will be a large attendance. The churches af- fected are the Ohio Street Baptist church and the Carr Memorial Metho- dist church. and the sidewalks will be another feature in the campaign to improve conditions in that section of the city.
 Another called meeting of the civic league will be held next Tuesday, for further consideration of the plans, at the home of Mrs. w. P. Tolnme, 1116 East Seventh avenue, at which time it is hoped all persons interested will be in attendance.

JOHN D.'S MAN THINKS COURTS
 ARE INFLUENCED
Mckenzie King Believes Strikes Could Be Averted
 by Better Laws.

Washington, May 25.-WheE Chair man Walsh of the industrial relations commission. at the close of the after noon session of the hearing in the Colorado Fuel & Iron company strike, announced that the hearing was fin- ished, Mckenzie King, of the ROcke- feller foundation. and Ivy Lee, Rocke- feller publicity agent, both of whom had been grilled by the chairman, shook hands in a friendly way with thier inquistor.
 Much of Kings testimony related to the Canadian strike law. Had law similar to it been in force in Colorado, he said. the strike with all it's lamentable results would not have taken place.
 "Men do not strike for the fun of it, but to obtain justice they believe they cannot otherwise obtain," said MT. King. eff statistics show any thing" he continued, "they show that men and women in the future will be killed in strikes and property destroy ed unless this commission realizes it's responsibility and presses for legisla- ton similar to that now in force in Canada"
 'Under Canadian legislation" he continued, "there had been 161 dis putes submitted within the last seven years, and there had been only IS strikes.
 "The trouble in this country" said Mr. King, lis that the labor problem is bound up with your political sys- tenn. Here judges are elected for two years, or any other period. The ad- ministration of justice is in the hands of men who usually are figuring on their coming election, and with this condition, you do not have that Sure foundation for law and order that is so essential. I believe that judges ought to be appointed for life. Then the aim of a judge would be to ignore popular clamor and dispense justice with fairness to all parties concern ed"

Ambassador Gerard Sends Washington "Conjectures"
 on German Reply.
STILL SEEKING TO
 BRING U. $. TO AID
Germany Will Justify Submarine War. fare on Ground of England's 'Inliu- mane" Policy, Though Note Will
 COncede Position We'll Taken.

Washington, May 25-The state department and the white house have the "conjectures' of Ambassa- dor Berard as to the main points of the expected reply of Germany to Pre es.de mt Wilson's note in which he literally demanded the cessation of German submarine warfare against American ships and the ships of belligerents.
 MT. Gerard indicates in his dis patches that he gives merely opin- ions, and does not base them on any knowledge of the official attitude of the German government.
 Germany will approach the United States along the friendly avenue of admitting that the broad humani- tartan principles enunciated by the president are we'll taken. Germany will admit the inhumanities of all wars and justify the tragedies of her submarine operations by the Oar barious and inhumane" policy of Great Britain in her attempt to starve the civilian population of Ger many. This report is given great prominence, because of the assur- ance given to Great Britain and the United States that foodstuffs enter ing Germany would by municipal regulations, be used solely by civi- lians
 The reply draws a broad distinc- ton between the right of the United States to demand immunity from at tack for American ships and de- mand for the safe guarding of Amer ican lives on belligerent ships.
 Direct issue is understood to be taken with the United States on the demand that Germany shall abso- lutely abandon submarine opera tions in her war zone.
 Germany will make the point that such national calamties as the sink ing of the Luitania might we'll be traced to the unwillingness Of the Limited States to fierce Great Britain to recede from her attitude that foodstuffs be absolutely barred from German territory by an illegal blockade.
 Germany will indicate to the United States that it would assist materially in the solution of the sub marine warfare problem by pre- venting the transportation of ex- plosives and even of all contraband on passenger carrying ships.

AMERICAS SHOULD
 UNITE ID DEFEND
 MONROE DOCTRINE
Wild Enthusiasm Greets Pan-American Delegates
 Suggestion for Union.

Washington, May 25.-"America for Americans"
 That was the shibholeth vita which pr. Santiago P. Triana, dele gate from Columbia, this afternoon stirred the American conference to burst of patriotic frenzy.
 '4We Americans," said pr. Friana, must be prepared to make the in violabilty of our continent stronger each day. Let these nations repre- scented here make it manifest that none of them covets territory, and the borders of each must be con- sidered sacred.
 We should say to predatory ma tion: You may come to us as citi- zens in peaceful multitudes, but not as conquerers.'
 "The United States and the other nations should join in union to de- fend the Monroe doctrine"
 This declaration of Dr. Triana brought forth a perfect whirlwind of applause, the delegates from the United States taking as vigorous a part in the demonstration as the delegates from the republics to th;! south.
 The proposal for international unity against trans-oceah interfer- ence was the more remarkable be- cause of the difference which has existed between the United States and Colombia over the alienation of the Panama canal zone, which has now become the property of the United States, although Colombia is still seeking compensation.

CANNOT SUE TO COLLECT
 COTTON MARGINS
U. s. Court Holds Margins Are Wagers-Reverses
 Judgment for $1O,145.

New Orleans, May 25.-The United States district court of appeals de- cided today that brokers cannot sue to collect from clients margins on cotton in future trading.
 The case came before the court in the suit of K. w. James vs. Waldo P. Clements ct al, on appeal from the verdict of the United States court in the northern district of Georgia.
 The lower court gave to Clements and associates, cotton brokers, a verdict of $1O.145 against James for cotton margins. James appealed. The New Orleans court reversed the judgment, holding that margins were wagers on cotton and not a com modity.
