STOP ARMS EXPORT,
PLEA IN CIRCULARS
Importers of German Ware Seek
to Force Congressional Action
Through Business Men.

The New York business world has
been flooded with circular letters with
a view of creating sentiment strong
enough to force Congressional action
to stop the expectation Of arms and
ammunition from this country. The
circulars are distributed by c. R.
Meissner one Of the members Of G. Z.
Meissner & Bro, importers " German
porcelain, with Offices at 81 Union
Square.
In substance they are an appeal to
the American public to end the war by
causing the cessation Of the eXporta-
ton Of arms and ammunition. The cir
cular also makes the assertion that the
English are discriminating against the
United States by stopping the ship
ments of non-contraband goods. Those
who receive the circular are requested
to copy it three times and send 1t to
others. EVERY hour counts. Please
give this letter your immediate atten-
ton" is the final request.
At the home of Carl r. Meissner,
who lives with his German-born parents
at 212 West Eighty-second Street, no
information could be obtained.
At the Meissner Office, at 81 Union
Square, it was stated that neither Of
the brothers was in town.
Inquiries in local German circles dis
closed the fact that neither Of the
Meissner brothers is known there.

Mexican Chiefs Expo /
Food as People StarVe

Washington. July 21.-Secretary Gar
risoD made public to-day a report just
recsivod from Brigadier General {. A.
Devol. who has been investigating con-
6i.ions in Mexico for the War Depart
neDt and aiding in Red Cross rehef
work The report charges the military
chiefs with obstructing his attempts
10 relieve suffering and alleges that ex-
rorts Of corn, beans and cattle are en-.
courared bv the factionists because OF
the revenues derived from the export
taxes. ..,
General Devol states that continual
suffering obtains and IS growing
throughout Mexico and that little et-
fort Is being made by the Mexican au-
thorities 20 alleviate it. Only 6O per
cent of the normal crop, he asserts, mas
been planted
Food supplies for use in relief work
must be purchased in the United States,
according 20 orders from the military
leaders Much Of the corn and beans
purchased ia Texas for this purpose is
CT Mexican origin and bought at
price much higher because q the eX-
port tax. General Devol sees TO future
ior ADEQUATE relief work in Mexico as
long as present political conditions pre-
vail.
Both General Hernandez md Gen.
cral villa prohibited the purchase OF
food supplies in Mexico for relief Of
the Mexican people, stating that any
such supplies must be purchased out
side Of Mexico. The reason given IS
that the food in Mexico is required to
feed the Mexican soldiers. The real
reason. in my opinion. is that there IS
a military export tax, or, n other
words. charge on all expectations
amounting on the northern border to
$500 10 $500 for each car tina: crosses
the border This money is paid direct
10 the military leaders.

ton Wednesday were drawn up last
night at Sing Sing. One will go to
Judge Samuel Seabury, who pre-
sided at Becker's second trial; one
to Sheriff Max Crifenhagen, and

Mr.. Perkins's invitation should have
been addressed to Governor Whit
man, but the latter will not receive
one.
Two physicians and two or three
persons whose business does not
bring them To the execution will be
invited. The other invitations will
be for newspaper men. Fathers
James Curry, of this city, Beckers
spiritual adviser, and W. f. Cashin,
prison chaplain, will be present.
More than one hundred requests for
invitations were received, twenty
from physicians.
The condemned man spent most
of Yesterday reading the news
papers. He said he was gratified at
the space given his statement.

This death was the Reds last straw.
With cannon to right of them, Major

Apelbaum says ne suggested to Beck
er's brother John before the second
trial that Charles Becker take the
stand.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo, mentioned
in Becker's statement, warmly denied
Yesterday the insinuated charge that
when warrants were asked of him for
gambling houses the news leaked
10 the suspected places before the po-
lice arrived with the warrants.
Under instructions from Police Com
missioner Woods, Second Deputy Com
missioner Frank A. Lord sent to all
the policemen mentioned in Becker
statement a request to explain Becker's
references to them.
Lieutenant William Funston, Of the
Detective Bureau, Of friendship for
whom Rose boasted to Becker when
the Hesper Club was raided in October,
1911, answered promptly. Becker stat
cd that he telephoned Funston at
Roses request and that Funston told
Becker to do what he could for Rose.
This Funston denies. He said ne be-
came acquainted with Rose fifteen
wears ago, when Rose was running
ball club in Danbury, Conn. They had
had nothing in common at any time.
Funston knew Rose was a gambler.
81 simply told Becker" Funston said
in telling of Becker's telephone call,
that | had known Rose for number
of years. That was all there was to
the conversation"
City Magistrates McQuade and koe-
mig, also referred to by Becker, re-
fused to say anything about Becker's
statement yesterday.
Police Commissioner Woods said that
if there was the slightest encourage
ment of Becker's limitations that any
of the members Of the Police Depart
ment had been or are remiss IN doing
their full duty he would begin an in

At the Offices of the Clyde and Nal

Herman Rider, Of the New Yorker

strike situation, said yesterday:
THE men who have walked out or
who are about TO walk out know what
they are doing. They are looking out
for themselves and their women and
children. II doesn't take German
propaganda to tell them where their
interests lie. They have struck be-

One of the strike agitators said last
night that the j tx workers of the
Savannah Line AZ Pier 35 would walk
out Friday and that the docks OF the
Cunard, Atlantic Transport, White
Star and French lines would be idle
within week.
This would mean that thousands of
tons OF munitions and materials OF
war which are now stored at most Of
these piers would not be shipped out
of the country until the strike was
settled, as the strikers and their lead
ers declare that the steamship COM
panies will not be able to hire strike

they were fired upon by a detachment
Of Reds several hundred yards west.
Colonel Dickman's plan was to fool the
Blues into believing he had concen-
trated his entire forces in this attack.
The Blues cavalry speeded west, but
the Reds rolled down the hill in their
haste and got away. Then Major
Wrght's cavalry made a detour of

Apelbaum Upholds Becker.

Harry VI. Apelbaum, secretary TO
the late Senator Timothy d. Sullivan,
in statement last night upholds
Becker in the condemned mans con-
tention that he opposed violent meas
ures to keep Rosenthal from testify
ing: that Sullivan sought to prevent
RosenthaPs disclosures, and that JACK
Rose was so enraged az Rosenthal'
even TO the point of suggesting that
tho gambler be "croaked," that Rose.
more than any other person. was de-
sirous of removing that threatening
figure. o -. oo, for
Rocker. said yesterday it had not been
determined what the next step would
be. Mr.. Cochran regards Beckers
statement as an impressive document
whose force will be realized only
ibroueh careful examination. great
deal depends on the Developments that
Rockers written story will provoke. 1t
NAV draw out the strongest evidence
in his behalf evidence that will in
cure success TO move Tor another

Joseph Murphy, serving a term for
Murder in the second degree, on June
- wrote TO Mr.. Cochran from Sing
S,nq. telling him that on Sunday, July
% 1912. the day before Becker was
orrested' he overheard Weber, WALTON
and Rose in the Tombs jail yard talk
ing about the case - Ut,

unless we frame Becker up" Murphy
saws another unidentified voice re
marked. According to the papers. they
Seem TO think Becker had something TO
do with the murder because Rosenthal
souawked, and il won't be hard 70
make the people believe 1t Is the
truth"
knows Becker is not IN It, SAID one OF
the trio. NJ,
nbv was sneered at by the other two.
The reason nothing has been done
with the Murphy statement, 1t was
learned. is because up to a few days
ago il was believed that the convict
was not in the Tombs at the time.
Governor Whitman, to whose ettentlon
Nurnbv's letter was called. stated that
Murphy was not in the Tombs when the
three informers were there But IN
vestipation by Becker's attorneys has
shown that Mr. Whitman was mistaken.
In a lengthy statement issued last
night Apelbaum takes up in detail the
Rocker statement so far as II app-4es
TO "Big Tim" Sullivan. The statement
reads:
81 am giving this cor. iete and d..
tailed statement Of SEN - Sullivan =

who are implicated in the Rosenthal
murder for the purpose Of setting right

way reflect upon his memory.
