BECKER GOES TO TRIAL AS SLAYER OF GAMBLER Hundreds Surround Court to Catch Glimpse of Accused Men—Police on Guard. CONFESSION OR CHAIR FOR SLAYER OF ZELIG Prosecutor Asserts Davidson Killed Gangster to Stop Tes timony Against Officers. NEW YORK. Oct. 7.—Two hundred and fiftj- talesmen jammed the court room of Justice Goff in the criminal blanch of the supreme court today when Police Lieutenant Charles Becker Was called to trial on the charge of murder in the first degree for instigat ing the assassination of Herman Ros enthal. the gambler who was shot to death last July. Tn addition to these men. there was another panel of 50 from which Justice Goff was to select a special grand jury of 23 to devote its time to the Rosen fhai investigations. Both the prosecution and the defense, i represented by District Attomej- Whft- I man and John F. Mclntyre, respective ly, declared that the trial would proceed without further- delay. The district at torney asserted that he could prove his charges, despite the assassination of i "Big Jack” Zelig,' the gangster who Lva- stall? SatAirday night. Zelig was to (have been an important corroborative ! witness tW the.prosecution. I Dong before the hour set for the con- Ivening of court the criminal courts | building was sntrroiiiided by a great. | crowd anc po’ice • eserves from two ‘stations were added .to those on the scene. Police to Guard Throughout Trial. Throughout the trial extra police will be kept in the court room to prevent anj’ gang outbreak such as has been anticipated ever since Jack Rose. Sam Schepps, Harry Vallon and T.ouis Web ber pledged their aid to the prosecution. East Side garigste s are declared by attaches of the dist ict attorney's office to have vowed to ••get” these men. While Philip Davidson, alias "Boston Red Phil,” todaj' reiterated his story that his piurdei of Zelig was on per sonal grounds- and not connected with the trial of Becker, District Attorney Whitman was said to have evidence showing beyond any doubt that the ‘•system” which brought about the death of Rosenthal as he was abou' to divulge graft secrets also accomplished the murder of Zelig to prevent his ap pearing as a witness against Recker. In this connection it was Darned to day that Mr. Whitman had been threat ened with death and his every move is now being closely guarded by armed detectives. T.hese maintain their vigil not only when the district attorney is on the streets, but also at his home and in his office. Coufesgion or Death For Zelig’s Assassin. Confession or death in the electric chai • will be the alternative given to Davidson. The district attorney is con vinced that the gangster who shot Ze lig on a street has inside facts concern ing the leaders of the "system.” and will insist that, he reveal this or accept the full penalty of the law. It became known that Zelig was threatened with death as much ar a month ago. The threats against his life became so serious that Zellgs counsel last Wednesdaj went to the district attomej- and told the latter that his client was in mortal danger. James Sullivan, counsel at one time for “Jack ' Sullivan, also went to the. district at toinej and told him of lhe warnings that Zelig had received The three men held a conference at the hornr of the district attorney and it was suggested that Zelig be goi out of town until the district attorney was ready to call the gunman as a witness i against Becket The district attorney i thought well of the suggestion and In ■ t-rvfewed Zelig but Zelig i-fused to r leave New York, saying that he had j too many affair* of ' importance” hot ,to attend to.

No Effort Made to Move Train For First Time Since Strike Began--En gineers, Fearing Renewal of Clashes, Demand Protection Before Working. City Police Called Out to Quell Disorders Here. Road Officials Plan Non-Resistance Policy to “Starve” Shippers Into Protest Against th® Strikers. y ■ The Geordis road is completely tied np today. Not since-tho strike went into ctTeet a week ago has lhe traffic been so abgcghite ly blocked. Not a wheel has turned today, not a train left the Atlanta station since Saturday. Officials can not say when an attempt to operate another train will be made. For the first time since the strike on the Georgia road/ began, one week ago. passenger train No. 2 w ( as left in the Atlanta yards yesterday, with no attempt to send it on its run. No. 2, which was due to leave for Augusta at 7:30 o’clock, was not even made up or run into the station, and postoffice authorities were nrytifled that no mails would be handled during the forenoon. Whether an attempt will be made to handle any other trains during the day is problematical. No runs were attempted during the night. P’or the first time since the strike, the Atlanta Union station threatened to become the scene of a riot, when nearly a thousand strikers and their friends met train No. 1, from Aiigiista. yes terday afternoon. The train was brought in by a union engineer and a strikebreaking crew. Police Protection Asked From City. News that it was on its way drifted into strike headquarters, and an hour before it Was due the ! station was filled yvitli men. Police pro tection was asked, and Chief Beavers, with an automobile full of men and .sixteen mounted officers, took charge of the station. When the train arrived it stopped at Central avenue, just out side the shed, and the crowd was kept back by the police. One man. who car- ■ vied a revolver, was arrested. The mob . was forced out of the shed bj r the po i lice, who formed a cordon across the station and drove the crowd back Into Pryor street and away from the train. When the hour for the departure of No. 28 for Augusta arrived, the crowd was even greater, and the polite again had difficulty in handling it. Again the strike sympathizers were driven back and an opportunity given the trainmen to prepare for the run. But after some lime it was announced that the train would not ho operated. A union engi neer was ready to take It out, but a full crew of strikebreakers could not be obtained. Nothing else has been op erated since the arrival of the passen ger from Augusta yesterday afternoon. No. 2. the early morning train, was not sent out yesterday, no crew being ready for it. Engineers Only Demand Protection. A strikebreaker caught In the streets yesterday afternoon and recognized by strikers and their friends, was given several blows before a policeman ar rived. A crowd In the Georgia yards, neat Inman Park, was dispersed by po lice upon a call from officials of the road. The engineers are in a quandary to day They are willing officials of the road report, to take out trains in the daytime if given proper protection. The order "f their union does not forbid their going out, but permits them to do so at their own personal risk. The an nouncement first sent out, that the union would forbid engineers to take out a train, gave the Impression down the line of the road that n>> union en gineers would work, and now any man in Hie cab s taken for a strike-breaker, and is likely to receive rough treat ment. Eor this reason, many engineers declare they will not take out a train, even In the daylight hours, as they do not care to lie taken for strikebreakers and perhaps filed on.

Oct. 7.—At the r.- quest of Mayor B. C. Wall, the Au gusta-Aiken Railway and Electric Cor poration is not running- ears to North Augusta. S. C., today. The mayor in formed the railway company that h< would be unable to give proper pro tection io the crews and that, the cars. If run at all, would be operated at th« risk of the company. The fact that a crowd of men attacked a car yesterday afternoon and beat and shot up a num. ber of people is the cause of the mayor making the request on the company. The car, which was left near the Hamp ton Terrace hotel, after being attacked, was brought to Augusta this morning-. Alyl of the cars on the city dhdsior are running and a number of the em ployees who did not go out on a strike are working. Sheriff Raben, of Aiken county, tel egraphed Governor Cole L. Blease lasi night, after the trouble in North Au gusta, that he was unable to cope with the situation and asked for assistance information from Columbia is that the governor has wired Sheriff Rabon, at Aiken, giving him instructions a.* to what to do. The sheriff can not ba found in Aiken today. , The strikebreakers who were beaten yesterday will recover. In fact, none was injured seriously, although one man was shot in the hip and is suffer ing much pain. The mob was composed of several hundred people, many ol them being trikers. After beating the crew and the guards they fired several shots into the air with pistols and shot guns. During the riot there were scenes of wild excitement in the little Caro lina. town and the inhabitants were panic stricken. last Tuesday has a freight train been brought into this city, and the passen ger service since that time has been spasmodic. Even when trains ran, passengers, unless forced by necessity, refrained front riding in them, for feat of possible injury. \\ bile the road is tied up and busi ness is at a standstill, efforts toward mediation continue through Dr. Charles P. Neill United States commissioner of labor He has worked incessantly since he arrived here Friday to bring the contending parties together, but so far he lias not had much success. No statement will be made in regard tc the progress that is being made toward mediation, but it is certain that no set tlement is in sight. The statement lias been made by ths railroad authorities that no attempt will be made to operate trains until tin en gineers announce that they are ready to resume tlielt runs. Officials of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers have announced that until normal condition* are restored tlndr members will not pull trains over tin load. The derision was made by Assistant Grand Chief I-' \V. Burgess, after a long conference with officials of the railroad, and after it was known that Superintendent W. S. Biand had wired the mayors of all towns and the sheriffs of all counties on the line, de manding the ,pt otectlon of the law for the e.-mpmiy'* trains.
