MS LOITERERS IT BECKER TRIAL All Suspicious Characters Kept Moving—State’s Witness Hurts Defense Plan. Xi;v YORK, Oct. 11.—Every suspi cious character seen about the criminal courts building was kept on the move to( jar and the most elaborate precau tions were taken to prevent a gang ~;üb'.eak at the* trial of Police Lieu tenant Charles Becker for the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Stool pigeons" reported to District tttorney Whitman during- the nignt that there had been a number of se cret conferences on the East Side, at tended by gunmen such as are accused of firing the shots that ended the life of Rosenthal. Two detectives were today assigned to guard Louis Krause, the Hungarian \alter, who yesterday identified Harry Horowitz, ' Whitey Lewis" and “Lefty Louie" as the men wno the snots that killed Rosenthal. The district attorney knows that the i/e of Krause has been threatened. His family has been sent out of town and he was today ordered to change his boarding place. Rose and Widow on Stand. When court reconvened today it was' expected that before adjournment to night the testimony of Jack Rose and Mrs. Rosenthal, widow’ of the assas sinated gambler, would be before the jury. Nearly an hour before the trial began Lieutenant Becker was taken from the Tombs to the criminal court building, and there he conferred with his chief attorney, John F. Mclntyre. He ap peared nervous and there were dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he had not spent the best of nights following the testimony of Krause. It has been the main contention of the defense that the East Side gunmen did not kill Rosenthal. Krause's testi mony shattered this basis of defense The baseball fans among the jurors received a shock this morning when told they could not read any newspa pers until everything concerning the trial in them had been censored. The fans were given the news of yester day's game in detail. More State Witnesses. A furtiicr blow was given the de fense today when it was learned that District Attorney Whitman purposes calling: before night one of two newly discovered witneses, who are said to havi seen every act in the murder drama as it occurred in Forty-third «-;.h i sale the Metropole. The;, are Jacob Luban and his broth er Morris Luban. of Brooklyn. They have been in the county jail in Newark. N J., and were brought here on parole late yesterday. At least one is said to have been an eyewitness of Lie murder of Rosenthal. They were arrested in August on a charge of en gaging a check, swindle. While the Lubans were in jail in Newark they were visited by two well dressed men. who were overheard talking' of the Rosenthal murder, it is said that the Lubans claim they were "framed up” by friends of Becker to keep them in Jail in Jersey and prevent their testi fying for the prosecution.

How do you think you’d like to be a cute little trick one week, a demure young miss the next, a scheming, dar ing adventuress the next, and so on'.’ Well, Little Emma Bunting is, was and will be all that, and she likes it immensely, but here’s a secret. She’s been all of those tilings so often she doesn't know which she’d rather be. Buried in a jungle of flowers sent by friends on the resumption of her ca reer in Atlanta at the Forsyth, she told of her predicament. “I've only realized it in the last few months," she confided, "and it’s really too silly, isn't it, but it’s a fact that 1 don’t know whether I’d rather be the charming young person I am supposed to be in ’The -Morals of Marcus’ or a sweet, unsophisticated and quite prop er school miss, or a character with dash and go who shocks ’em occasion ally. “I’ll confess one thing, however, the time sure does seem to pass quicker when I am acting a part that's just the slightest bit naughty. It's awfully tire some, being proper as can be, isn’t it?" But the interviewer was a man, so, of course, he didn't know, and there you are. TREE.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Although the mileage "pulling" hear ing is not attracting as much general attention as it did w hen first the argu- ments pro and con were t lira shed out before the railroad commission. the present hearing is engaging the elos. attention of a good many politi cians in Georgia, some o f whom think they see in it politics of per haps far-teaching consequence. Tile only real news of the hear ing no w, o f course, is the de vision to be hand e-i down by the commission, and, » srEArrsr discussing thal furthcoming decision, a keen political obst-i ver—one of the sarewdest and most practical in Geor gia—today said: "Big politics is being played, under cover largely as yet. in Ihe mileage ■pulling’ game. "A great many traveling men. a large majority of them, no doubt, do not real ize that, but- it is true. Upon the out come of the healing now in progress depends the stability of as pretty a house of cards as mortal man ever saw —a house of cards that it is hoped eventually to reinforce substantially with political concrete of a most en during nature.' “Certain ambitious politicians and Statesmen, real and near, are banking heavily on a favorable decision from the commission—that is, a decision up holding the traveling men's petition. It is confidently believed by these people that this will cause the railroads to withdraw the interchangeable mileage which, likely enough, it will—and then a big. state-wide agitation for a flat two-cent passenger rate on tile railroads is to be inaugurated. "Upon that issue a number of am bitious peditieians. as aforesaid, are expecting to ride triunipliantly into fat offices. “Let no man be rh’ceived about tile mileage pulling' row. However sin cere many of the petitioners may be, tiie big polities behind the game—be ing played strenuously, too —is just as outlined. "Time will prove the correctness of what I say provided, of course, the railroad < ohimission fails for the ini tial lead." William H. Fleming, of Augusta, for mer congressman from the Tenth dis trict. is an Atlanta visitor Mr. Fleming talks interestingly and optimistically of the stiike situation in Augusta, and believes Lhat order is about to be brought out of chaos at last. “Augusta lias been damaged very greatly by tile unmerited criticism heaped upon it because of a situation for which Augusta, as a whole, was in ar> wise to blame.” said Mr. Fleming. “The city has not relished being un der martial .law, bul tile good citizens have not resented it violently, for th* reason that they have realized the ne cessity of handling firmly all situations in which the life and prosperity of the people are imperiled. "The charge has been made that there is a good deal of politics back ol Augusta's distressing status, and it may he that such is the truth. The game of politics as played in that vicinity is very hard to follow in its logic now and then. “However, peace soon will reign again in Augusta, and the recent bad older of tilings will have vanished for ever —at least, we hope forever. Then are no finer, mote peacefully inclined, nor yet more law-abiding people any where in the world than in Augusta."

They never have a primary election in towns, and A. Corn's election was not known to have been accomplished until Colonel Phil Cook dug it out of the election returns Thursday. Assistant Commissioner of Agricul ture J. j. Brown is. in a measure, rec onciled at last to the loss of that Dem ocratic nomination in Macon. He has been notified by his son-in law, E. C. Peasley, of Toccoa, that a grandson has come to the house of Brown. Moreover, the young gentleman has not yet been named, and the assistant commissioner is thrilled with the hope that the proud parents may- decide upon J. J. as fit and proper initials for the new arrival. "1 have often wondered how it would feel to be a grandpa, and now I know,” said Brow n to his office associates, dis cussing the happy event in the Toccoa household. "1 have no doubt it feels even finer than to be a commissioner of agriculture!” Former Senator L. R. Aiken, of Brunswick, is in Atlanta for one of those occasional visits he now and then permits himself. The former legislator is an enthusi astic supporter of Burwell for the speakership of the next house, and says that his end of the state already has lined up solidly for the gentle.man from Hancock. “I knew Burwell intimately and watched him closely when 1 served in the senate with him." said Aiken. "There is no better equipped man in Georgia for the speakership. As a. parliamentarian, he is all that one could ask, and his disposition Is to be fair and tolerant of opposition. "T do not believe he will lose one vote for speaker that comes from my vicinity.” Alexander A. Lawrence, of Chat ham. came to town today, topped off with a new hat of the derby persua sion. I did not care to be insulted or maltreated, as 1 wa,s the last time I came up wearing my straw," explained Mr. Lawrence; “so I got a derby for 1 this journey. “1 still have my straw,” he added, somewhat defiantly, "and I don’t want anybody to think I was bluffed into donning this black thing—l merely didn't want to be annoyed.” YouNgAW Mothers No young woman, in the joy of coming motherhood, should neglect to prepare her system for the physi cal ordeal she is to undergo. The health of both herself and the coming child depends largely upon the care she bestows upon herself during the 1 waiting months. Mother’s Friend prepares the expectant mother’s sys tem for the coming event, and its use makes her comfortable during all the 1 term. It works with and for nature, and by gradually expanding all tis sues, muscles and tendons, involved, and keeping the breasts in good con dition, brings the woman to the crisis in splendid physical condition. The baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and ! strong where the mother has thus prepared herself for nature’s supreme function. No better advice could be given a young expectant mother than that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a medicine that has proven its value in thousands of cases. Mother's MreTurTifc Friend is sold at U HEK3 wrS e g £%FrieNd book for expect- ant mothers which contains much valuable information, and many sug gestions of a helpful nature. j BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atlaate, Gu 3
