BECKER WILL FIGHT VERDICT OF GUILTV

BY LEASED WIRE NEW YORK. May 23. Though exMeutenant Charles Becker will be lentenced to death next Friday by Juslice Seabury for the murder of Herman Rosenthal. It may be months before the final chapter in the story of the Sordid tragedy that held the attention of the entire country since the rambler was assassinated July 16,

1912. Is written. Becker la back in his old cell in the Tombs today while his chief counsel. Martin E. Manton, is preparing the appeal that will act as a stay of execntlon. Monton will make a hard fight to overthrow the verdict of guilty in the first degree that was returned by the Jury yesterday afternoon. The decision of the court of appeals reversing the verdict of the first trial Was not handed down until sixteen months after the conviction of Becker. The decision upholding or reversing the verdict of the second trial is not expected to take so long, but there is ft possibility that a year may elapse before the upper court renders its Judgment. There was no break visible in the Iron nerve of the condemned man. Mrs. Becker, who collapsed when the Jury rendered its verdict, had recovered her composure today. At her home she discussed the case briefly. "I know that an innocent man is being sent to his death," she said. "My husband is innocent of this hideouB crime, and they are sending him to his unspeakable death, a man whose heart is made of gold."

ISSUES DIVORCE

Because he alleged his wife was intoxicated a number of times in the Six weeks he lived with her and arrested twice, Harvey Turner demanded a divorce in circuit court today, and Judge Fox Issued the decree. Mrs. Kate Turner, his wife, was not in court to deny the charges. He also charged Infidelity.

Try Skin Absorption Instead of Cosmetics

The constant use of rogue and powder invites a coarsened, roughened condition of the skin, eruptions, enlarged pores and wrinkles. If you've learned this from experience, suppose you quit cosmetics and try the following: Ask your druggist for an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax and begin using this tonight. Apply like cold cream, washing it off in the morning. Keep this up for a week or two. The wax will literally absorb the coarse, colorless or blemished top skin, but so gradually as not to discommode you at all. Just as gradually the clear, velvety, naturally-tinted underskin comes to the surface. And mercolized wax becomes your everlasting friend. For those wrinkles and large pores make a face bath by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. This has remarkable astringent and tonic properties, and beneficial results come quickly. (Advertisement)

PLAN COMMISSION

(Continued from Page One.)

Santiago and Rio Janeiro, capitals respectively of Argentine, Chile and Brazil and also from London. It Is understood that In the London dispatches a powerful appeal was made by British interests to the mediators to protect the business interests not only of Mexico but of all Latin-

America against the "dictatorial policy of the United States." The fall of Huerta was pictured as the forerunner of anarchy and wholesale murder throughout Mexico to be followed by American conquest. This in turn, the British petitioners declared, would imperial the republics still further south. The mediators were begged to take a stand that would prevent aggression by the United States. Conferences were resumed at 12:10, the Mexicans going into the mediation room with the South Americans for a long discussion of the American proposals. Concede Rebel Victory. Concerning the probability of a complete triumph by General Villa and General Carranza in the present military campaign against President Huerta, the conservative interests of Mexico represented at the mediation conference are looking forward to a new revolution against the Constitutionalists. The slogan of this hoped-for uprising will be "Down with the friends of the gringoes." This view of the immediate future of war-torn Mexico was revealed today by a member of the Mexican party. "Villa's success is born defective," he said. "Our people will not tolerate any man to whom the demagogue Can point as the tool of the Americans. He may seize the country for a little while, but the nation will overthrow him." Take Up Land Problem.

At the same time the Mexican delegates are allowed themselves to be understood as ready to take up the land question in this mediation conference. Members of the Huertista's suite say that the entire Mexican public is agreed that the problem of distribution of the land must be solved. The Cientificos, they maintain are ready to begin the solution by creating a commission to draft a plan of putting the peons and other peons on the soil under some such scheme as the English small holdings act. Long term contracts for payment on the land would be offered and the government would finance the original purchase from the present holders by a bond issue. Senor Algers, recently charge d'affaires at Washington, says that the entire question can be disposed of without stripping the great land owners of any part of their wealth. He would have the government undertake irrigation projects throughout the arid regions where water is available. He asserts that but for the revolution this would have been done by Porflrio Diaz. Oppose Quick Decision. But the Mexican delegates who came to Niagara Falls to parley with the American government will not easily agree to dividing up the landed estates at once. They have told the mediators that time should be allowed for gradually working out both a scheme of purchase and a system of farm loan banks, in order that the reform shall not utterly fail. Long code messages came over five

special wires to the headquarters this forenoon. Ambassador De Oama, minister Naon and Minister Suarez had elaborate reports sent out yesterday, and the replies were transmitted today. From the White House and state department at Washington are coming new Instructions to the American commission. From Mexico City are coming dispatches. What Huerta la saying is of the less consequence except as it may hasten the end. "No party in Mexico Is backing Huerta," was the way a Mexican put the situation. "The Cientlflco group 1b scattered. The rich land owners are helpless in the war, but they will not surrender their land freely. They are like other rich men. The power of General Huerta is what he can command by force of arms that is all. We wait for what may come." In this spirit the Mexicans posted this bulletin intimating their willingness to hear through the mediators what a Carranzista representative may

have to say. "In answer to the question addressed to the Mexican delegation asking what its attitude would be toward the representative which, it is said, the rebel party will send to the conference at present being held here, said delegation begs to state that it has received no official notice that the above named party is sending delegates; that should such delegates come ot does not know with what character they would do so and that it is therefore impossible for the Mexican delegation to emit an opinion on this matter. "In any case the Mexican delegation considers that the matter is one for the study of the mediating plenipotentiaries and that it would only be justified in taking it up after these gentlemen have duly considered it. In this last case the Mexican delegation would consult its government before coming to any decision." This is considered the opening move toward settlement on the part of the Mexicans. They wait for Carranza. So do the mediators.

T. P. A. Notes

By DECO

Splendid For Rheumatism. "I think Chamberlain's Liniment is Just splendid for rheumatism," writes Mrs. Dunburgh, Eldridge, N. Y. "It has been used by myself and other members of my family time and time again during the past six years and has always given the best of satisfaction." The quick relief from pain which Chamberlain's Liniment affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement)

The T. P. A. Magazine for May, which has Just come into the hands of Post C. Boys, includes among other thing the complete program for the national convention to be held at Houston, Tex., June 8 to 13, and the "line-up" indicates that the Post C boys who will carry the credentials this year, are to have one round of pleasure. They will leave Richmond about June 5, and during their stay in Houston will be quartered at the Hotel Rice. Wear your T. P. A. button.

Post C's beautiful silk flag, purchased especially for the recent state convention, is to remain in a conspicuous place in the post rooms, and on gala occasions of any sort will be unfurled to the breese from the windows. The idea of the committee in purchasing an American flag of silk rather than an emblematical flag of the T. P. A., which could only be used on special occasions, was a good one. Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Nebraska and Pennsylvania, in the order named, led the fiscal year's application contest. E. E. Lebo, of Post C. and a few other Indiana boys, were among the busy ones, Lebo coming

forward with eighteen. A. D. Gorrell, retiring state president of the Indiana division, was the high man of the state with forty applications credited to his account. Brother Will Quigg has been busy with the work of closing up the affairs of the state convention. After the event itself passed into history the executive committee was confronted with the task of cleaning up every vestige of business that had any connection with the affair. Brother Quigg as secretary of the executive com

mittee, had the details of this work in hand, and it has been some job.

the passengers, was upheld April 5 by the supreme court as valid under the Hepburn rate law, even in cases where passengers have no personal knowledge of the limitation. This decision was in the suit of Mrs. Katherine Hook of Los Angeles against the Boston and Maine railroad for baggage destroyed by fire in 1908. The courts of Massachusetts allowed her a judgment of $2,133. the true value of the baggage. Under the supreme court's decision she will recover oaly 100. "How happy we could be with either were tother dear charmer away," describes the feeling when the names of Charles F. Tomlinaon of North Carolina, and V. J. Schoennecker of Wisconsin, are considered, says W. A. Ryan, press scribe of Post R, Muncie, in the T. P. A. column of the Muncie Star. It is questionable which would be the winner if individual preference is to obtain. Brother Tomllnson is a leading furniture manufacturer and Brother Schoennecker is in the retail shoe business in Milwaukee. Both have been national directors of the T. P. A. Brother Tomllnson has been national chairman of the membership committee for two years. Bro. Schoennecker has been mentioned as an aspirant for the office at former conventions, and last year at Richmond, Va., against Brother Tomllnson's positive refusal to run. it was sought to stampede the convention on him. So it will be seen that with two

such candidates, each possessing all requirements to creditably fill the office, the questions of preference hangs in great doubt.

STILL WANT CEMENT

"The Battle of North Seventh street" still rages, petitioners for a cement roadway bitterly opposing the action of the board of public works in approving of the paving of the street with brick. Today President Bavis of the board suggested to the cement advocates that they have their attorney confer with the attorney for petitioners for a brick paving and If they both agreed that the board was not justified In its action of declaring some signatures on the cement petition invalid the board would reverse its ruling and order a cement paving. The cement petitioners agreed to this proposal.

RETURNS VERDICT AGAINST CLARKS A verdict for the Citizens' State bank of Hagerstown. in their suit against Clark brothers to collect $5,000 on a note, was the action of the Jury to the surprise of court attaches. The sealed verdict was returned at 8:30 o'clock this morning, after only a small number of ballots had been taken. Many believed that Clark brothers would prove to the satisfaction of the jury that the note which they gave the insurance company was non-negotiable at the time it was made and that it was altered in order to dispose of it to the bank. It is probable that the case will be appealed.

TWELFTH LESSON NEXT' SATURDAY.

GROVE'S MUSIC SIMPLIFIER. "Grove's Music Slmpllfler" is a great help to teachers in Introducing pieces by comparing the chords of said pieces with those of their representative keys on "Grove's Music Slmpllfler." and showing these chords to be the foundation of the musical structure upon which pieces are composed, and also show when a scholar has memorized thoroughly these chords of different keys by analysis or otherwise, that pieces can be learned with more ease and comprehension. When all the fundamental chords are learned, tbe scholar can easily apply them and be greatly assisted, thereby earing moeh time and practloe.

Entered According to the Act of Parliament of Canada at the Department of Agriculture in the Tear 1906. SECOND EDITION, Copyright, 1905, International Copyright Secured. Copyright 1903-4 by W. SCOTT GROVE, Scrsnton, Pa. There are four flats in the key of A fat, which makes that key difficult for the piano or organ student to master, unless he employs these charts. With the eharts this key becomes as simple as the key of C, which has neither sharps nor fats to confuse the eye or fingers. The lower chart on this lesson gives the chords of the key of A flat, while the chords of its relative, the key of F minor, are given on the upper chart. The top, middle and lower sections of each chart give the three chords of each key, and these are all-sufficient for accompaniments. No ether knowledge is required to play in perfect harmony. The white letters are to be played with the left hand and the black: letters with the right hand. Having placed the chart on the piano or organ, play the white letter on the top section with the left hand, and then the three blade letters in unison with the right hand. Next play the middle section in the same way, then the lower section, and then return to the top section. The small white letter D with a dash above it, which gives the chart position, must not be played. After a brief practice these chords can be memorized and yon may play without the use of the chart. But with the chart a person who never struck a note on the piano or organ before may in a few minutes play the harmonious chords correctly, and then accompany his or her own songs or the songs of friends. Proficiency requires practice, but no previous knowledge of music If you have followed these twelve lessons closely you have acquired the best possible basis fer a thorough musical education.
