BECKER STILL SEES
FAINT RAY OF HOPE
Believes Men Who Testified
Against Him May Yet
Come to His Aid.

Charles Becker s..li cher,shes a faint
nope that he may not rave TO go to
tho chair. Father Cashln, chaplain at
Sing Sing. said last night after a talk
with the condemned mar that Becker
believes something Will turn I'D that
VIII save him-at least give his LAWYERS
mere time to act in his behalf. His
nope rests on the consciences Of the
witnesses who testified against him at
his trials.
According 10 Father Cashin Becker Is
buoyed by the belief that some Of the
men-he did not mention rames-who
perJured themselves at his trials will
come forward with info! nation tina will
help him escape death. Becker Is con-
hdent that these witnesses will come 10
MS rescue so heroically and maIfury
that Gov. Whitman will be forced
morally to grant him a reprieve. One
other point Father Cashln made plain
was that Becker w uld not ''squeal.'
all assertions that he would rotwith
standing. The chaplain intima,ed hat
Becker had no material on which IL
base a ''squeal."
That Mrs. Becker hasn't quite aban-
doned all hope, also, was indicated YES
terday when she visited the down: )vii
Offices OF her hush mas lawyer.
II have only one thing to say" Mrs.
BECKER told a reporter for THE Sun
after leaving Martin r. Manton's office
In the afternoon. "and that is that
any published stateInent--and there
have been n number OF them recently.
as YOU know-attributed to me concern
Ing what ls or liz not TO be done is alb
s~olutely false.
And I wish to add that 10 I an,
quoted In the future about this case YOU
may rest assured that whatever ] am
made to say is false. ] haven't given
any interviews on the things that I've
been quoted as saying and ! shall NOT
give any, That Is final"
Mr.. Manton was not prepared yester-
day to say anything for publication re-
garding Rockers plans. II was said at
his office that he had gone to the coun-
try and would not return until early
next week.
There IL 10 doubt in the minds OF
many who have followed the Becker
case that the former police lieutenant
has a fund OF information concerning
graft and bribery which he could dis
close IL he wanted TO. But the feeling
grows stronger among those interested
that Becker realizes hi disclosures
would be useless, what with District
Attorney Perkins's positive statement
that he will not bargain with Becker
and the facts that the statute of limita-
tions and the lack OF the necessary COR
roboration OF his charges are working
to make his accusations worthless.
Consequently II Is believed that he
will 30 to the hal with all the silent
! stoicism that has marked him through
out his trout les. But until the Becker
lawyers nave made a definite decision
as to what action. II any. is to be taken
the conjectures concerning what Becker
will or will not do must be taken as
conjectures and nothing more.

WAR SCENES, LYCEUM
 SATURDAY. SUNDAY

The war pictures to be shown at the Lyceum on Saturday and Sunday eve-. nings are of the greatest interest be- cause it will be the first time an op- portunity has come to New Britain people to see as it were some of the actual occurrences in the present Eu- ropean conflict. Reports of the varl- ous battles have been published in the newspapers and the people have eag- erly read them, but in the pictures they will be able to see a reproduc- tion of actual warfare as it is conduct ed today; the battles, how they are waged, haw the men act, how the wounded are cared for and what is, done with the dead. These pictures were taken under the direction of the New York Sun and are shown through the instrum entality of the New Brit ain Herald acting for the Sun, and the Lyceum mana cement. They were taken by moving picture companies on the ground and wherever they have been shown the verdict was that they are the work of progressive ar. and that they reveal scenes and inci- dents that have heretofore been closed to all except those on the field of bat
 tie. The pictures will show the sink
 ing of ships, the Zeppelins at work
 and the worst of all, the terrible tor
 pedo.
 As an educational feature tho pie lures cannot be surpassed for the reason that they show in clear sem blance of reality that war is, what men suffer, the actions of the people in the towns during bombardment and the destruction of the buildings No ono should miss this exhibition Those who witness it will have q clearer idea of the European war and the suffering it is causing than if they read all the accounts that were ever 1 published on that awful conflict.

thrown at the costume. But no de- tail of a Partisan creation is ever ac- cidental.
 Beers taffeta and transparent ma terial costume has jacket which is even more sketchy than is Paquin's since the dark blue silk garment bare ly touches the waist line at back and at sides, and it's elbow sleeves consist of three ruffles matching a cream hued batiste skirt. A high-roIling hatiste, collar, crossing the back of the little coat, absolutely ignores it's pointed fronts which join at the bust under flower cluster. Akin to a girdle, although it does not encircle the waist, is narrow band of blue taffeta, dropping as a sash from under the left side of the jacket and ending below the hips with a flower cluster. Applications of embroidery form 8 series of deep Van Dycks upon the skirt, whose edge repeats the point idea, and between these trimmings are circles and irregular motifs in ap- pliaue. So low does the skirt dip at the sides that, seeing it for the first time, one wonders if it can have been carefully adjusted.

NINE COWBOYS AND
 COWGIRLs, KEENEY's

Among the meritorieus acts at Keeney's this week, the Nine Cowboys and Cowgirls stands out conspicuous ". This is novelty with 8 distinc- lively western flavor and it makes a strong appeal to theatergoers seeking something new for their entertain meflt. It is to discriminat ting play lovers of this sort that Keeneys show makes it's best bid this week The management is offering a collection of superior specialties, all of which are of type different from that usually seen here. Every act on tho program has some feature that emphasizes it's originality and newness. The patrons of the theater have enjoyed the bill and the applause given at every per- formance testifies fully to their ap- preciation.
 Besides the cowpunchers there are number of other entertainers who rank high in their chosen profession. Prominent among them is Minnie De- Weese and her clever canine, Cuba | Miss DeWeese is talented musician and is also 3 comedienne of first class. She plays. cleverly on both the violin and banjo, winning special praise for her eccentric manipulations Of both instruments. Her dog is strong con tributor to the fun which attends her act. The animal is real canine hunorist and his amusing pranks create much laughter daily.
 Mirtz and Palmer have song and conversation specially that gives com nlete satisfaction and the Bannons appear in club Juggling novelty that is without question tsle best act of its kind ever given here. These peo- pie are probably the biggest applause getters on the program.
 His Last Race a highly dramatic playlet, is presented by Ellsey Ottke and company. The piece is well con structed and has many points that commend it strongly. k
 Featured on the Keeneyscope pro- gram tonight will be The Pathe Weekly. The reel this week contains many good war pictures besides de- picting important happenings in the United States.

Many of Jauntiest of Taffeta
 Jackets are of Solid Dark Blue
It Has Elbow Sleeves and Reverless Deep Neck Which Gives It Fine Appearance Should Be of
 Yellow Chiffon.

Taffeta packets with chiffon, ba- tiste or net skirts are modish. Many of the jauntiest among the new little coats in silk are of solid dark blue, or blue striped with a pale line of another color, or. vice versa. Paequin evidences a liking for stripes in a taffeta jacket of darkest blue, pin lined with cream.
 It has slender effect above the
 hips, for, from the side of the coat --it actually is the bodice of the cus-
 tume-the seams run to a point at
 the back center of the waist, while the fronts slanted sharply from the
 bust line joining. make short but defi- mite points at either hip. Elbow sleeves and reverless, deep V neck, help out the rather sketchy appear ance of the jacket, which tops a skirt in yellow chiffon. Clusters of tucks trim the skirt at the knees and again near the ankles, below which q hem does not come since a series , of points takes it's place. These points ] fail to surprise any one familiar with of fashion, but 8 blue taffeta rose near the left knee looks as though it had accidentally caught there when

NOT TO INTERN EVERY
 MALE ALIEN ENEMY
Great Britain, It Is Understood, Will Take No New Measure Against
 Naturalizcd Germans.

London, May 13, 4:15 a. mt is not likely even now that the gov- ernment will take the bold course of interning every male enemy alien of military age,'' says the Times, which declares the cases will be considered on their merits and it is understood that no new measures will be taken against naturalized Germans and Austrians.
 The position of many of these men, some highly placed, is the crux Of 8 new situation with which the nation is confronted says the Times. Changes in law would be needed 'o discriminate against those who are legally British citizens and the gov ernment does not intend to introduce any fresh legislation on this sub- ject.
 The Times published today the names Of a considerable number of prominent Germans who have Writ- ten to express their adherence oi
