" I'H F.OIM(RE RuOSKVELT." “Spirit” Postcard Sent to 1 R. Here A postcard addressed to Theodore Roosi-velt and dated from "Spirit World," has caused Roger A.

Schrank, had sent a threat ening uie.-sage to the colonel several week before the shooting in Milwau kee The postcard is one of three pecu liar messages received al the local Bull Moose headquarters Just before the colonel's visit, but two of these have been misplaced. None was given to t'olorel Roosevelt. About a week before ('olonel Roose velt reached Atlanta on his speaking tou: the local headquatters received u postcard.

Court Rules Out Testimony of Waldo and Jerome, Princi- pal Witnesses. i Continued From Page Ore. contention with proof that the self confessed accompliei s testimony is false. We will prove that the testimony of the crook, Luban. is false. We will bring Lubati's brother, who Is a re- ; 1 • putable business man. who will swear that Morris Luban told him after the ! murder that he was with a man named 1 Goodwin on the night of the murder and knew nothing of it. We will also 1 shov by the brother that the only man 1 he knew in the case was Sam Paul.” 1 Mortis Luban had testified that he * saw the shooting and pointed out the 1 accused to men in the court. I Attorney Hart set out the lines of the ' | defense in four divisions. They were I as follows: Conspiracy of Gamblers Charged. 1. That Becker had no direct rela- 1 lions with the gunmen who are ac- ■ cused of doing the actual killing of 1 Herman Rosenthal. ". That Jack Rose. Harry Vallon. Louis Webber and Sam Schepps con spired to kill Rosenthal because of a gambling feud existing in this city. 3. Repudiation of the testimony of Waiter Krause. Max Margolies and Morris Luban. two of whom identified the gunmen in court. 4. That Becker had a good character and a good record in the police force and that it was necessary for Becker to have dealings with unsavory characters in the underworld to get evidence upon which he could make raids. Erank H. Roberts, superintendent of the apartment house where the Beck ers lived, was called. Mclntyre tried with slight success to get his testi mony on tecord to the effect that Beck er had ordered his telephone service discontinued at his apartment before the Rosenthal murder. Justice Chases Witness From Stand. Justice Goff became so incensed at the lawyers for the defense that he or dered Morris Goodwin, one of Becker’s ' witnesses, from the stand and would not allow' him to testify. Frederick Whaley, a reporter for The Evening Sun. who was assigned to write the Rosenthal murder story, testified that he went to the Times building about 2:20 o'clock on the morning of the murder and got Becket on a private telephone. "I told him that Rosenthal had been assassinated. He replied. 'What are you trying to do—kid me?' I repeated that Rosenthal had been shot to death. TTeeker did not believe it. 'You' mns: have a hang-over on.' said he. When I finally convinced him. Becker said. ‘lf that’s true. I am sorry. I wanted to show that fellow up.’ "Later I saw Becker at Times square and 1 rode to the Forty-fifth street po lice station with him on a street car." Thomas Coupe, the night clerk at the Elks club in West Forty-third street, who saw the murderers of Rosenthal pasp that club in their automobile but fled the country in fear flint he would be assassinated if he testified at the Becket trial, arrived from England to day. He was brought back by Assist an' District. Attorney William DeFord. DeFord appeared somewhat disturbed when told that the evidence on Becker’s , bank books was excluded, but said he I hail no doubt it would be admitted later! ( on when Coupe will also testify. Gun Men Terrified As Trial Nears End. 1 As the trial of Becker nears its end the gun men accused of the actual as sassination are becoming terrified. 1 "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg has begun > to weaken under the persuasion of his ’ wife and relatives. This was shown, ‘ the police say. when his wife took the witness stand for the prosecution. Be fore testifying she had been in con ference with her husband in the Tombs 1 and it was with liis consent tliat she agreed to testify. District Attorhey Whitman expects to get a full confes sin from “Lefty.” "Gyp the Blood " Horowitz last night made an unsuccessful effort to have guards take him to Bellevue hospital with the idea of escaping from tliat in- | stitution. “Gyp" was found groaning I in his cell, as though suffering from I poison. A BeUrvue hospital doctor found no indications of poison and re fused to take the gun man to the hos pital. The alleged assassin, forgetting ! about the poison that was supposed to be causing poignant pain, harshly ex pressed an unfavorable opinion of the doctor. The largest crowd that has assent- I bled for the Becker trial surrounded the ; criminal courts building more than an ' : nom before <>ourt convened this nmrn ‘ I ing . • —— Montenegrins Beaten by Turks t.

Continued From Page One. assistants is to be approved by council. ('hairman Smith said today that the special committee was now ready to go into a more thorough reorganization of the construction department. The most important change to be made, pos sible only through the charter amend ment obtained last summer, is to give council full authority over the depart ment. Completion To Be Rushed Under This Plan. He said the committee would adopt a plan for the order in which work shall be taken up. When a street improvement is begun it is to be finished as rapidly as pos sible. Under the old system, there re cently were 27 pieces of unfinished work in the city and 14 different squads of workmen scattered in all parts of town. More strict time limits are to be pre scribed for contractors who are doing work. This is the cause for the delays on West Fourteenth street, North Boulevard and St. Charles avenue. The city water and sewer depart ments and the public service corpora tions are to be made to co-operate in a more businesslike w&y in street im provements. Lack of this co-operation has caused the slow progress of the re grading of Peachtree street. Much time is lost in hauling stone from the rock, quarry at the stockade to the various sections of the city. Either quarries are to be opened in the different sections of the city or a con tract will be nfade with the street rail way company to haul the rock. Present System Called Cumbersome. Mr. Smith said that one fundamental trouble was that the city did not have sufficient revenue to keep its street im. provements up with its growth. He said either a plan to require the prop erty owners and the street railway com pany pay all the cost of the paving ex cept at street crossings would have to be adopted or a bond issue would he necessary. He added, however, that much better street work could be done with the present revenue than the city now is receiving. "We must get rid of that old way of pulling against eacli other in council," he declared. “We must have co-operation between the couneilmen, the different • ity con struction departments and the public service corporations. "Nearly all the members of council agree that our council of thirty mem bers and our numerous boards are un wieldy. “I have talked the matter over with a number of them and I expect to see some sweeping reforms brought about in a mighty short time. "The people are tired of our old sys tem. They showed it in the last two primaries. We must wake up and do our duty. "I don't expect any serious opposition to the new plans that soon w ill be pro posed." Don’t Be Fussy About Eating Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the Proper Assistance. We are prone to fall into the error of singling out some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first Invented the dish. The habit grows with some people till almost all food is put on the blacklist. This is all wrong. What is required is a little assistance with those agencies upon which scien tific students for many years have set I their seal of approval because they I have become absolute facts. Stuart's I Dyspepsia Tablets for all stomach dis orders are recognized; they have a fine record; they aie rated reliable, de pendable and w orthy of confidence jus* as the president of a big bank puts his O. K. on a depositor's check. And so you can eat what you want, whatever you like, knowing well that should in digestion, sour risings, gas formations, 1 fermentations or any other stomach distiess arise. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets in a few moments will put you 1 ight. Coated tongue, bad breath, heart burn. belching, flatulency, bloat- all the symptoms of digestive troubles disap pear quickly when these tablets are i used. They are not a cure foi- anything I but dyspepsia ami kindred complaints ■ But they have brought relief to more | sufferers f om digestive diseases than 'all th., patent medjeines and doctors' ! pies; riptions put together. ■ The stomach does the heavie.-t work I of any of the bodily organs, yet it's the one we treat with the least regard.
