Parents of Gangsters
Decline to Comment
On Death of Becker

NEW YORK. July sl.-Parents OF the
four gunmen who were executed for the
murder OF Herman Rosenthal had little
TO say about the electrocution OF Charles
Becker.
Samuel seidenshner. father OF
Whitley Lewis" said he had tried to
forget the entire case and he did not
want the execution Of Becker to bring
It back to him.
What do know about Becker" he
asked He may have been guilty and
he may have been innocent. How could
know? My boy may have been guilty
but maybe he was not. I never knew.
The whole thing Is over now and I want
to stop thinking about it. I never did
know ANYTHING about 1t and l don't
know anything about 1t now"

dicted by the Weather Bureau. The
heat record for July was broken at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon when "a
was registered by the Instruments at

Some comfort may be taken in the
fact, however. that today Is degrees
cooler than was yesterday. the official
temperature at noon being 81. as COM
pared with 20 yesterday. Except for
the possibility OF local thunder showers
no material change in temperature is
expected within the next forty-eight

only exception being in the extreme

TRYING TO PROVIDE
NEUTRAL PASSPORTS
Commerce Department Endeav-
ers to Hit Upon Plan to Meet
EngIand's Request.

The Bureau Of Navigation. Department
Of Commerce. Is endeavoring to hit upon
some plan whereby the request OF Great
Britain. made through Consul General
Skinner. that masters and sailors on
neutral ships visit ne British ports. be
provided with passports or Identification
papers of some character.
These credentials will be required of
al mariners remaining in an English
port FOR more than twenty-four hours.
Pending the completion of a plan to
comply with the British request, tempo
rary landing permits will be issued to
visiting mariners
The real difficulty which the Bureau
OF Navigation is rncountering lies In the
fact that a large proportion Of the
crews of Amer can ships are neither
natives of the United states or natural
lied citizens thereof. 1nasmuch as the
Request Is designed 20 keep German
spies from the ports of the empire, the
question is regarded as a serious one.

Whether the original note received

most formidable in point Of length and
scope Of the entire series Of communi-
cations exchanged by the two govern
merts on this subject It Is filled with
citations and deals at length with in
tricate questions Of international law.

points not treated in the original note.
the detention Of the American steamer
Neches on the way from Rotterdam TO
New York with cargo. and the Ameri-
can caveat OF July II, declaring the

tute for international law. will be fully
Meanwhile such data as has been
gathered by the State Department
upon which to base reJoinder prob
ably will be ready for President
Wilson's consideration before he re-
turns to Washington next week.
Figures Are Scrutinized.
The accuracy Of the figures produced
in previous British notes covering the
volume Of American expectations to
many and Austria via neutral
ports is being scrutinized. The Brit
ish contention is that these f1gures
show large quantities of American
cotton and even military supplies
huve reached Germany and Austria
via Sweden. Denmark, and Holland,
practically breaking the allies block
ade.
All these neutral countries now have
enibargoes against re-exportation of
such goods. Efforts of the State De-
pertinent TO ascertain to what extent
these embargoes have been violated
have failed. Naturally there are no
records Of an Illicit traffic.
The lack Of these statistics may pre-
vent the department from CHALLENGING
successfully the British figures, which
are based upon the normal consump-
tion Of American goods by the neu-
trail countries involved as disclosed
by ante-bellum statistics and Ameri-
can export figures showing the value
Of the wartime trade with those coun-
tries.
