MRS. BECKER GOING
AWAY TO FORGET
DO Cruel Men Want to
Starve Her to Death 2"
Asks Churchill.

Mrs Helen Becker, wearied by the
long strain under which she has been
laboring, announced yesterday that in
few days she would probably seek
rest in some quiet place. At her
home, 1921 University Avenue, The
Bronx, she said an erroneous impress
sion had got abroad that she intend
ed to make a statement after her hus-
band had been buried.
~ don't know where the newspapers
got the idea that was to say any
thing after the funeral Of my hus-
band" she said, "for | have not now
or at any future time any statement
for the press"
Thomas W. Churchill, president Of
the Board of Education, added his
opinion to those expressed by other
members Of the board that Mrs. Beck
er's activities in connection with the
murder" plate on her husbands cot
fin would not cause her to lose her
position public school teacher.
He said that the persons who raised
such an issue were trying to hound
Mrs. Becker to death.
"She has suffered enough. and ! am
not gong 10 pursue neT. ! SHaII ne
plore any attempt to dScredit her as
a teacher. Rather, shall be glad TO
help her in any way ! can. DO the
cruel men who have attacked her want
to starve her to death this woman
who in the last three years has gone
through a terrible travail? She is not
responsible for what she has done,
and | wouldn't even consider it,
Harry Vallon and Jack Rose, the
Becker infOrmers, are preparing for
life Of obscurity after three years in
the limelight. They are going into
the motion picture business in Boston,
according to information obtained yes
terday.
WALTON, whose real name is Valin-
ski, is trying TO raise capital for the
enterprise on life insurance policy
which he has had running for several
years. He misplaced the policy, and
TO get a loan on il will have 20 get
a surety company TO bond mn.
Neither WALTON nor his attorney,
Louis Quasha, of 299 Broadway, would
discuss the gamblers future plans.
All they would say was that a recent
report that WALTON had been in Pitts
burgh celebrating Becker's impending
doom was untrue, and chat Nallon
had never been in Pittsburgh in his
life. All WALTON wants is to be let
alone" said Quasha. Gle is living
quietly with his wife and two children
and is sick of notoriety."

terday, charged with failure to keep
his promise to wed Margaret Ney,
seventeen, whose mother keeps a bak-
cry and lunchroom at 81 Forest avenue,
Ridgewood.
Never in the history of the county
was a prisoner shown more considera-
zion than was Sheriff Emerer's charge,
yesterday. Warrant Officer Sherry,

asked that the matter be kept out Of
the newspapers, the request being sec
onded by Assistant District Attorney
Frank Adel, who was also an assistant
under District Attorney Matthew J.
Smith when the notorious Ellcrt case,
which possessed features similar TO the
present scandal, caused a political up
heaval in Queens County.
Margaret Ney is a tall, quiet girl,
and seems older than she is.
Young Emener met Miss Ney last
fall. the girls mother said. lie came
frequently TO the little lunchroom. first
as a customer and then as friend. He
played pinochle there in the evenings
and was never charged for his meals,
cigarettes or candy, she said. He
called her Mamma, she added.
"Of course I'll marry Margaret,
mamma. If my parents don't like it
they can go to hell" Mrs. Ney said the
Sheritf's son told her when she pointed
out his duty.
Mrs Ney said she had been forced
to sell her business TO raise sufficient
money to retain lawyer to press her
daughters charges.

Col. Regain, of State Board,
After Conference, Pre-

BLISS PLANT SURPRISE
SOON, SAYS KEPPLER
Workers Leader Confident OF
Success in Dispute with
Plainfield Shops.

Arbitration was offered in the ma
chinists' strike yesterday by Colonel
NJ J. Regan. Of the State Board of Ar
bitration. f. J. Deerlng. business agent
Of the local union, said the offer would
be accountable 10 the workers. Colonel
Regain also expressed himself as conf
dent Of settlement.
"The situation as regards the settle

in and about New York is more than
favorable" he said last night. 81 look
for an early settlement of the trouble
at the Garvin Machine Company's plant,
at Spring and Varick Streets. In fact
George Garvin has already turned the
matter over TO Henry c. Hunter. secre-
tary Of the National Metal Trades As
ISOLATION"
Mr.. Hunter, however. denied that the
plant owners would submit TO arbitra-
ton. as they had no such agreement
with the union. He intimated that
strikebreakers would be summoned
soon TO work in the Garvin shops, and
is confident that sufficient numbers can
be obtained. He said the Metal Trades
Association has many machinists en-
rolled who are anxious 70 work. The
manufacturers will refuse TO grant
lS-hour working week and 10 per cent
increase in wages. He added;

said that the managers were wiling TO
meet demands.
In reply to Mr.. Hunters statement
that there are many machinlsts out OF
work who can be employed to operate
in the shops, Mr.. Keppler said:
'If there are any machinists out OF
work in this part Of the country just
now. the union cannot find them. The
food of war orders and business due to
the war is keeping every workman at
his bench. Large pcvtits are coming
~ the manufacturers, and we think
there never was a better opportunity
for securing the eight-hour day and IN
creased wages"
At the machinists' headquarters, 116
Nassau Street. confidence was expressed
by officials that the situation would
eliminate successfully for them. Con-
ferences were resumed yesterday be-
tween employers and representatives Of
employees in New York and neiGhboring
cities. Discuss ons were kept strictly
secret, and it was impossible to learn
how imminent is the possibility Of
strike among the. many thousand ma
chinists. J. J. Kcppler and business
agents are apparently completing prep
arations for such action should they
consider it necessary.

at is a matter Of conscience. Most
Progressives are independent thinkers.
Progressives who conscientiously be-
lieve they can do more good by going
back TO the Republican party, and do
so. should not be held up for condem-
nation and criticism within the party.
At the same time the leaders in the
party believe, with Colonel Roosevelt,
that the most can be accomplished by
standing pat. The Progressive party
will stand as a potential threat to the
Republican party in the national cleo
ton next year. 1t may be that the
Republicans will have to be thrashed
again before the party becomes suf-
Efficiently liberaized to present candi-
date for whom Progressives can con-
scentiously vote"
These were the views expressed yes
terday by a Bull Moose state leader,
in the light of Colonel Roosevelt's
statement upon his return from the
Pacific Coast. This leader, as well as
other prominent Progressives, was not
inclined to interpret the ColonePs state
ment with any uncertainty as to where
he stood now, or where he would stand
in 1916. They would not admit the
possibility Of conscientious flop" on
the part of the Colonel.
At the same time some OF the Pro-
gressiye leaders were willing to con-
cede that the situation might change
before the next national conventions,
and the Republicans might see the
light" and seek to nominate a candi-
date who would not be unsatisfactory.
With Gov. Johnson of California and
delegates from other states, a fight
would undoubtedly be made in the Re-
publican convention for Progressive
principles and conscientious" candi-
date, it was said.
