SENT MERCURY PAST the 100
MARK FOR FIRST TIME THIS
YEAR. TODAY A CLOSE SECOND

Yesterday was the hottest day of
the year the mercury at the local OBJ
servatory registered 101, the first time
it has exceeded the 100 mark this sea-

give that mark a close race as it was
exceedingly humid this morning.
People are beginning to use the
sprinkling hose freely on their lawns
in order to keep them green, the trees,
both fruit and shade, are being gener-
ously watered as It takes but a few
days such as yesterday to endanger
young trees and shrubbery.
The biggest crop of hay ever gath
cred in this section is being harvest
ed now, the weather has been ideal for
this purpose and it is all of a very high
grade, bringing top prices on the
market.

EFFORT To
HAVE EXHIBIT
BY MERCHANT IS
WILL BE MADE AFTER PLANS
FORMERLY EMPLOYED BY MER.
CHANTS TO ENCOURAGE BET.
TER AGRICULTURE, ETC.

An effort is going to be made by
the chamber of commerce of this
city to have a county fall exhibit OF
stock and products of the farm and
garden here this fall in lieu of the
county fair that was agtated by the
agricultural agent and which was de-
MED by the failure of the county com
missioners to favor the free fair bill.
This city in the past has held such
exhibits that proved eminently sue
cessful and was instrumental in get
ting together a creditable exhibit in
all branches of farming. Prizes will
be offered by the merchants for all
exhibits and they believe that a good
showing can be made this fall, as the
crops in this county are above the
average this year and there has been
a gradual improvement in stock here
in the past few years.
The exhibit will take place some
where down town, probably in some
vacant store, and the best exhibits
displayed will probably be taken with
the county exhibit to the state fair at
Oklahoma City. If the plans mature,
the exhibit will probably be held here
on the 18th of September, the same
date set for the rally day and exhibit
of the boys cotton, corn and pig
clubs, and the girls canning clubs of
the county.
This exhibit will not be confined
to farm products and stock, but, as in
the past, fancy needlework and all
branches of domestic science will
come in for their share of attention
and proper prizes will be given.

ADVISORY
BOARD WILL
MEET TONIGHT
MAYOR AND ADVISERS WILL DIS
CUsS OCCUPATION TAX THAT
HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE TO
CITY DADS FOR YEARS.

There will be a meeting of the may
ors advisory board at the city hall
tonight at $50 for the purpose of dis
cussing the occupation tax question
that has been a nightmare to the city
dads ever since it was enacted. Every
year petition after petition has been
filed with the city officials asking that
the law be modified, changed in some
manner or abolished altogether, and
where some relief has been granted
in the past, the law as it reads is any
thing but satisfactory to the working
men and mechanics of the city who
are compelled to pay a tax for work
ing. The mayor stated this morning
that he was not in favor Of taxing any
man for the privilege of making a liv-
ing for himself and family, that an
occupation tax under certain circum-
stances and within reasonable bounds
was all right, for that reason he has
called his advisors together for a
meeting tonight. in order that all may
advance some idea as to the best So
luton OF the perp,exing question.

MORATORIUM
IN PARIS JOY
To TENANTS
TAX COLLECTOR, HOWEVER,
RECOGNIZES NO BARRIERS AND
AS A RULE EVENS THINGS UP
SOME RENT FREE.

Paris, July 29.-For the fourth
time since the Beginning of the war
the hopes of Partisan landlords have
been deferred by the extension O.
the period for the payment of OBJ
cations The average tenant finds it
easier to observe the moratorium
than to pay The tax collector knows
no moratorium, however, and the
corner grocer and the butcher are
doing business on strictly cash
basis, so the man whose Partisan
estate brings him in only what he
requires to live on is worse off than
the man who has no property at all
The latter may apply to some of the
relief organizations; the owner of an
apartment house, however would be
turned away.
Out or a total of S0,044 apartment
houses in Paris according to the CEN
sus of 1911, 6S,723 brought in total
revenue of less than $2i00 yearly,
while 1856 produced a net income
of less than $1,000 a year. Nearly
every one of the buildings bringing
an income of $1,000 or less are in
habited by families that pay less
than 5000 a year rent each and con
sequently are able to occupy their
apartments so long as the morator-
ium continues without paying a cent
to the proprietor. The accumulation
of a years rentals, amounting in the
aggregate to at least fifty million dol
lars, is developing a thorny question
that the government has found it nee.
essary to take into consideration.
While the moratorium decree al
lows landlords TO pursue the collec-
ton of rents in case the tenant is
able to pay, the burden of proof is
upon them and is so difficult that
almost wherever it is tried the re-
suit is only an accumulation of costs
on top of the accumulated rent
No one pays rent willingly, even
if they are able to do so, for the
reason that most of the modestly sit
uated tenants expect a compromise,
imposed by law, in the end, as was
done after the war of 1901.
"My neighbor doesn't pay" they
say, because he wants to get the
benefit of any reduction that may be
made in the end; if | pay and
compromise is effected after the war,
the landlord certainly won't return
me any money"

CITY is CLEANING OUT
STANDPlPE AND MAINS

Commissioner Hunt began this
morning emtytng the standppe in or
der to give it thorough cleaning.
The mains in the city will be flushed
by direct pressure and the intake
pipes at the city lake raised from
the bottom, where it now reposes, and
placed to within five feet of the sur
face. This. the commissioner believes,
will greatly relieve the present situa.
tion which is getting to be almost
unbearable.
Mr. Hunt says he believes the fault
is with the mains and with the stand
pipe, where silt has been allowed to
accumulate. Water taken directly
from the lake shows no such condi
ton as exists in the city.
Commissioner Hunt says he is con
fident his theory is correct, and
that he will be furnishing the city
with pure water within the next few
days.

Await Evac uation Of Warsaw.

London, July 3O.-The probable
evacuation of Warsaw and the whole
Polish salient by the Russians is
indicated in dispatches received from
Petrograd
This decision would come as a sur
prise to all outside the inner councils
of the Russian general staff, as the
splendid resistance which the Rus
slams have been offering, apparently
with considerable success, to the Ger
man efforts to encircle the city, were
believed to be evidence of Grand
Duke Nicholas intention to fight it
out with the Germans.
1t is pointed out, however, by the
Russian military critics, after con-
versations with competent military
authorities" that until the army is
perfectly equipped to oppose the per-
feet Austro-Gernan machine the SEN
sible thing to do would be to avoid
battle and withdraw until the armies
are organized and equipped and in a
sive and drive the enemy from Rus
sian soil.
Politics, rather than strategy, de-
Cided the Russians to advance into
East Prussia and Galicia, it is ex-
planned by the critics, and while in
doing so they rendered great service
to the western allies and inflicted
terrible losses on both Austrians and
Germans, they now may give up all
and more than they gained
1t is anticipated by the Petrograd
papers that the whole country if
evacuated will be denuded of resour-
ces which might prove valuable to
the Germans as has been done in
most of the territory the Russians
have given up.
The capture of Warsaw naturally
would be made the occasion for great
celebrations in Germany and it is
reported that Emperor William has
arranged to make a state entry into
the city, accompanied by the empress.
The Empress has been on a visit to
Field Marshal Won Hi, ,lenburgs
headquarters at Allenstein, East Prus-
sia and left there yesterday with the
Crown Princess Cecelie for Neiden-
burg which is across the Polish Dor
der.
In the meantime fighting Of the
greatest intensity continues around
the Polish triangle and as Berlin
claims no important success except
the repulse of Russian attacks IT.
is presumed the RUSSIANS are holding
off the Austro-G ermans.

FORMER POLICE LIEUTENANT
ELEcTRocuTED AT SING SING
AT 5:55 THIS MORNING.
THREE SHOCKS USED
Required Three Shocks to Kill His
Powerful Frame-Becker's Nerve
Remained with Him to the Last
Wife Left His Cell at this Morning

Ossining n Y, July 30-With a
photo of his wife pinned secretly over
his heart, with nerve mistaken and
with the words of the litany on his
lips, Have mercy upon us Charles
Becker died in the electric chair at
5: So this morning.
Becker remained awake and calm
all night
1t took three shocks to kill his pow
erful frame.
Just before his death, he left this
last statement:
''In the teeth of those who con-
demned me and in the presence of my
God and your God, proclaim my abb
solute innocence of the foul crime
for which | must die. You are now
about to witness my destruction by
state, which is organized to protect
the lives of the innocent. May AL
mighty God pardon every one who has
contributed in any degree to my un-
timely death. Now, on the brink of
the grave, | declare to the world |
am proud to have been the husband
of the purest, noblest woman that
ever lived-Helen Becker
This acknowledgment is the only
legacy can leave her"
Mrs. Becker leaving the prison
shortly before two o'clock this morn
ing, said she would never rest until
she had exposed the methods used
to convict her husband.
A negro murderer, Samuel Haynes,
was electrocuted Immediately after
Becker.
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler for
whose murder Charles Becker was
sentenced to die in the electric chair,
was shot to death by hired gun men in
the early morning of July 16, 1912, in
front of the Hotel Metropole on For
ty-third street, few steps from Broad
way. The murder was the swift cul-
mination of sensational charges made
few days before by Rosenthal
against Becker, in which Rosenthal
asserted that Becker then head of the
strong arm squad of detectives, freely
sold police protection and had accumu-
lated thousands of dollars of graft
money.
He swore that Becker was his silent
partner in a gambling enterprise that
failed, and that Becker, angered by
losses, where he had expected large
profits, raided the Rosenthal estab-
lishment and drove Rosenthal out of
business by stationing uniformed po-
licemen on his premises day and night.
These charges were published, and
Dist, ;ct Attorney Whitman began an
investigation of them. He summoned
Rosenthal to the criminal courts build
ing and listened to his story. An ap-

came, Rosenthal was murdered.
When the assassins had done their
work, they ran across the street,
jumped into a grey automobile which
was waiting at the curb and whirled
away up town. a bystander caught
the license number of the car.
District Attorney Whitman notified
by telephone of the murder, reached
the police station where Rosenthal's
body lay, before dawn. He aroused his
detectives from their sleep and spread
a dragnet over the city for the murder
car. 1t was found before night. It's
