BECKER MAKES
ONE FINAL PLEA

ALBANY, July 21.-Gov. Whit
man today received a statement
from Charles E. Becker which
probably is to be the last effort
to save the life of the former pc
lice lieutenant. whom Whitman as
district attorney convicted.
AS before, Becker denies any
part in the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, who was killed by q
gang of gunner who afterward
declared they were hired to do SO
by Becker.
1t is expected Gov. Whitman
will take no action.
Becker's latest note implicates
Big Tim Sullivan as a man anx-
ious to see Rosenthal murdered,
to whom he had loaned money.

the number of $50, guided by Geof-
frey Morgan, reached Hopkinsville
early Thursday morning and took
breakfast at Hotel Latham.
At 7:30 they found SO of the 100
automobiles provided by the superb
management of Lucian H. Davis, of
the Transportation committee. The
other machine, that of Sam Bumpus,
of Lafayette, arrived later filled with
delegates.
A delegation of business men met
the visitors at the depot and escort
ed them to the hotel. where T. L.
Metcalfe, with his customary enter
prise, distributed flowers to all pres
ent. The automobiles were filled
with visitors and guides and in long
train, miles long, traversed the sched-
uled itinerary through a 50.mile cir
cult of southeast Christian. stopping
at John H. Williams stock farm to
see his Duroc hogs, the finest in the
State. At Pembroke local commit
tee met the crowd of 500 and on the
public square brief talks were made
by DR.. Bradford Knapp, of Wash
ington; Godfrey Morgan, James
Mckee, the Hon. j. w. Newman
and Senator Boyd. The address of
welcome was made by Charles E.
Barker.
From Pembroke the line of We.
hicles traversed some of the fairest
lands in the United States and ar
rived on time at the fair grounds at
noon. There were some mishaps of
minor character but all of the ma
chimes completed the trip in good
condition.
Immediately following the serving
of the barbecued meats, bread
and coffee to the $500 men, women
and children who were on the
grounds, the crowd filed the grand
stand to hear an address of welcome
by Judge w. T. Fowler, who intro
duced the following speakers, who
made short talks: DR.. Bradford
Knapp, DR.. j. G.. Crabb, of the
Eastern State Normal School; Con.
gresham David Kincheloe and the
Hon. j. w. Newman. The Third
Regiment Military Band played dur
ing the intermissions between the
speeches. At 3 o'clock a long trip
was started through the southwest
ern portion of the county. The trip
was so planned that a good road
through some large farms might be
used and the party have chance to
view the work that was being done
and the improvements on the places.
At this point it might be well to add
that all of these roads had been care
fully dragged the day before so that
they were as smooth as they could
be made for the guests of the coun-
ty. While driving rapidly through
one of the farms the pilot machine
pulled up before the home of Col.
A. M. Henry where refreshments
were served by the ladies of Col.
Henry's family and there were cool
drinks to suit the taste of every WIS.,
itor. The return trip was by w. r.
Brumfeld's market garden, where
there was a stop for strawberries,
cream and cake. The visitors in
spected the greenhouses, the i'm

and the irrigation system for water.
