BEGKER TRIAL 10 BE RUSHED AS GANGS STIR Threats Against Principal Wit nesses and Fear of Attack Cause of Speedy Hearing. NEW YORK. Oct. B.—Growing agl tJion among East Side gangsters will r ‘. sll lt in the trial of Police Lieutenant •harles Becker, under indictment for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, be ing rushed by Justice Goff in the crimi nal branch of the supreme court. When the second day’s session of the t i.,i began there were evidences of haste unknown before in the New York courw which have been notorious for their slowness in big murder cases. ‘ The situation which faces the au thorities in the present case has never before arisen here and it was this sit uation which led Justice Goff to make the announcement that if the Jury box 1, not filled by 5 o’clock this afternoon he will hold night sessions of court un tP the case 1b concluded. justice Goff and District Attorney Whitman believe that as long as the B ,.cker trial lasts with Its revelations and further possible exposures of graft nnd gang secrets the East Side bands or -social clubs.” with their thugs and gunmen, will be kept in a constant state of ferment. Fear Attack by Gang. It is feared that this may culminate in an attack upon witnesses or perhaps upon the court room itself. It is known that threats have been made upon the life of Mr. Whitman and it was report e ) ~t the opening of court today that a death threat had been received by Jus tice Goff. However, this could not be confirmed. It is known, though, that a threat of death has been received by Jack Rose, who, by turning state’s evidence, went over to the prosecution. Only one juror had been chosen up to the opening of this morning’s session of court, although 28 talesmen had been examined by District Attorney Whit man and John F. Mclntyre, chief coun for Becker. When Becker entered court he was asked how he felt. Fine, fine," cried Becker. He was then told that there was an impression about the criminal court building that his case might end in a disagreement of the jury. Becker Reviles Witnesses. "A disagreement!” cried Becker. "Why. you don’t mean to say that any decent man Is going to give credit to the testimony of such dirty Jews as that crowd against me?- Why, they can’t convict me of anything on the strength of what that bunch swears to. They are the scum of the earth.” Becker was then asked for his opin ion of Harold Skinner, the lone juror in the box at the opening of court. A look of satisfaction came into the accused man’s face as he replied: “If you can get eleven other jurors like that first man I’ll be all right. He is the type of man I want. A jury box filled with his kind would satisfy’ me. The higher class the men are the bet ter I will be pleased. Men of intelll getu e will readily understand the posi tion into which I am forced. Ignorant men may be easily fooled by the clever web which, I understand, the district attorney is prepared to weave around me.” There were 223 veniremen left out of the first panel when the examination of talesmen was resumed today, 27 having been questioned by counsel yesterday out of 250.

In a courageous attempt to rescue three-year-old Charline Farris from the path of a Central avenue street car In Grant street last night, Mrs. W. S. Sparrow, of 208 South avenue, barely escaped with her life, and is being praised today for her heroism. The child whom she tried to save fell under the forward trucks of the car and was crushed to death. The accident occurred In the view of a earload of pleasure seekers bound for Grant park. Little Charline, en deavoring to follow her playmate, Lil lian Sparrow, darted into the street, but paused, confused, in the track of the approaching ear. As if dazed by the headlight, she stood there. Mrs. Spirrow, who had been out walking with the children, rushed from the sidewalk and reached the track in time to clasp the little girl in her arms before the ear struck. The eolision loosened her grip. Before the motor man, who had been fighting'Hiis brakes desperately, could bring the car to a stop the forward trucks had passed over the child’s form. Mrs. Sparrow was thrown under the car and severely injured, but the car was halted before the trucks reached her. Both victims of the accident lived within a stone’s throw of the scene. Charline Farris was the daughter of G. P. Farris, 208 South avenue. Mrs. Sparrow lives at 205 South avenue. The child’s body was removed to Green berg & Bond's undertaking establish ment. where the funeral will be held today. Mrs. Sparrow was taken to her house. Funeral services for the little girl were conducted this afternoon at 2 o’clock in the chapel of the Greenberg & Bond company. The body was later taken to Marietta for interment. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear There Is only one way to cure deafness, ami that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mjicous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not lie cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

WOODWARD “A COMMON BLACKGUARD” To those who have listened to the abuse which Mr. Chambers, candidate for Mayor, has heaped upon Mr. James G. Woodward, his op ponent, and said to themselves, “Probably Mr. Chambers is sincere in his belief, or is being influenced unduly by hot headed advice,” we pre sent the following extract from a half-page advertisement published in The Atlanta Georgian on October Ist, and signed by Mr. Chambers himself, in which he says, “That Mr. Woodward is a common black guard, and all who vote for him are of the same type.” There can be no misconstruction of what Mr. Chambers meant, or what he said. The following quotation is exactly what Mr. Chambers published, and can be found in 12-point tipe in a half-page advertisement in The Atlanta Georgian of October 1, 1912: HERE IT IS WITHOUT A SINGLE CHANGE: “This campaign is simply an issue of decency against indecency and involves merely the question of whether a common blackguard, who will stoop to any unscrupulous slander, and who has adopted such meth ods in his race for mayor as to almost frighten any de cent man from entering a race against him, shall be placed by this city at the head of its government and thus advertise to the world that a majority of her people are of the Woodward type.” NOW STOP AND THINK IT OVER Is Mr. Chambers, who stoops to such methods as this, in order to gain votes, big and broad enough to be your chief executive? We leave it to you. To all those who so honored Mr. Woodward with their vote on last Wednesday, Mr. Woodward and his committee extend their most sincere thanks, and deeply regret that Mr. Chambers should so far forget himself as to openly insult them for their loyalty to Mr. Woodward. The People of Atlanta are aroused to their own interests, and Mr. Woodward will be elected Mayor on October 15th, by the largest majority he has ever received at the hands of the People of Atlanta.
