GUILTY’ VERDICT
GREAT SHOCK TO
BECKER
Jury, However, Was Never Di

Punishment.
Continued From Page One.
when there was again a lengthy delib
eration and the jury balloted again.
The vote now showed that ten were for
conviction for murder In the first de
gree and two were for conviction in
the second degree. With the sides now
so divided, again there were several
P<dls taken, which always resulted in
ten for first degree and two for second
degree.
The longest deliberation and debate
of the verdict then began, and as mid
night was approaching, it became evi
dent that the two who had been hold
ing out for conviction in second degree
had decided to join their fellows. The
final decisive ballot was taken, and a
verdict of guilty In the first degree
obtained.
Four Gun Men
Panic Stricken.
The verdict against Becker caused a
panic today among the four gunmen
who are accused of being the actual as
sassins of Rosenthal.
Reports were current at the Tombs
that "Gyp the Blood” Horowitz, “Lefty
Louie” Rosenberg, “Whitey” Lewis and
"Dago Frank" Ciroflcl, now under in
dictment for murder in the first de
gree. had already sent word to District
Attorney Whitman that they were will
ing to plead guilty to second degree
murder.
This communication to the district
attorney was not made bv counsel for
the gunmen, but made its way to the
office of the district attorney in the sub.
terranean fashion used by prisoners In
the Tombs. Such information often
reaches the district attorney before it
does the prisoner's own counsel.
There was every indication, however,
that Mr. Whitman would refuse second
degree pleas from any of the gunmen.
In any case, however, none of the gun
men will be brought to trial next. "Bos
ton Red Phil" Davidson, the East Side
gang man who shot and killed “Big
Jack" Zelig. will be brought to the bar
next, and he will face Justice Goff on
the same day that the latter will sen
tence Becker—Wednesday, October 30.
Gun Men’s Trials"
To Follow Davidson’s.
The trial of the gunmen separately,
since they have asked for separate
trials and, under the law must be grant
ed that privilege, will follow quickly
upon tb“ disposal of the Davidson case.
The latter is not expected to occupy the
special term under Justice Goff very
long, since there are eyewitnesses of
the shooting of Zelig, and Davidson can
easily be identified.
"All the gunmen now under indict
ment will be brought to trial as rap
idly as possible,” declared District At
torney Whitman. "They have asked for
separate trials. This will of necessity
prolong the case. However, we shall
proceed with all diligence.
"All the gunmen will be brought be
fore Justice Goff. It was to dispose of
all the cases growing out of the mur
der of Rosenthal that this extraordinary
session of the supreme court was con
vened.”
The district attorney said that Da
vidson would have to be disposed of
first before any decision could be reach
ed as to which of the gunmen would be
tried first for murder.
Death Threat
Terrifies Schepp.
Sam Schepps, the gambler whose
story, with those of Vallon, Rose and
Webber, convicted Lieutenant Becker,
received a death threat over the tele
phone today because of the part he
played in the Becker trial. Some one
called up the West Side station and ex
plained that Bernard Sandler. Schepps’
lawyer, would like to speak to him.
When Schepps answered, he received
the following message over the wire:
"You may get turned out of the West
Side prison today, but if you do you'll
never leave the court room alive.”
Schepps dropped the receiver in ter
ror.
"They'll get me!" he cried. Later,
when Schepps told Judge Goff of the
threats, the judge told District Attorney
Whitman to place a special guard over
Schepps.
Immediately after breakfast, the four
gunmen sent for B. F. Wahle, their law
yer. Mr. Wahle Informed his clients
that he would be at the Tombs this
morning.
Becker in no wise showed any signs
of breakdown today. Thomas Rohan,
the keeper who has charge of the tier
of ceils in one of which, No. 112, Beck
er is lodged, is alleged to have sympa
thized with the prisoner by saying:
"Too bad, Becker." The prisoner
snapped out:
"Judicial murder!”
Hecker carried out the same prison
routine as other days. He vigorously
went through calisthenics this morning
in the corridor, walked briskly, then
ate a hearty breakfast.
Mrs. Becker Still
Near Hysteria.
Mi . Becker, who collapsed after
hearing the verdict, was In a state bor
dering on nervous hysteria today, but
insisted on going to the Tombs to see
her husband. After she had heard the
verdict, she fainted, and it was then a

Now His Aunt, Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt. Will Be Called on
to Pay Wager.
NEW YORK. Oct. 25.—1 t looks very
much as if Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt. Jr.,
would be called upon soon to pay a debt
of honor to her young nephew', Hermann
Oelrichs. The debt is a large one—some
say a half million dollars w’as the amount
of the wager. But it was such a wager
that Mrs. Vanderbilt, in losing it, will
consider that she has won.
A few years ago, as young Oelrichs was
nearing the age when boys regard cigar
ettes as the insignia of manhood, his aunt
challenged him to lay part of his future
fortune against a similar part of hers on
the proposition that he would not smoke or
touch intoxicants of any kind until he
should reach his majority.
Will Be of Age Next Month.
He accepted the challenge, and the time
of settlement will arrive with his twenty
first birthday next month.
Thus has "gambling" been turned into
a virtue to conquer other evils.
Mrs. Vanderbilt may well be proud of
her losses. Her nephew, who is a chum
of Vincent Astor and a student in the law
school if Columbia; has been for years the
model youth of Newport and New York
society. And he has been an example to
the other fellows in proving that a boy
can shun bad habits without being a mol
lycoddle.
None of his set is farther from being a
mollycoddle than Oelrichs. He is one of
the most daring automobilists in the
country, a clever boxer and fencer, and
has won trophies at golf and tennis.
A Young Chesterfield.
Moreover, he is regarded as a young
Chesterfield in manner and dress. He at
tends all the smartest functions of sum
mer and winter, and is already popular
in society abroad.
Two years ago he and Vincent Astor
had an auto race on the sand of the
second beach at Newport. Oelrichs’ car
caught tire, but he kept going till he had
won the race, and then had to drive into
the ocean to put out the tire.
Already possessed of a considerable for
tune, he will receive an Immense one from
his mother on the day when he shall wed.
If he has shown particular attention to
any of the young women of society it has
been to Miss Margaret F. Andrews, the
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I'aul A.
Andrews, of Newport.

She is being looked after by Frank H

made the arrangements for Mrs. Beck
er’s visit to the Tombs, and when she
was ready accompanied her.
Attorney John W. Hart, of counsel
for Becker, stated this afternoon that
the appeal in behalf of Becker would b’
made on ground that Justice Goff had
charged the jury in a manner preju
dicial to the defendant, and had also
failed to rule on the validity or Invalid
ity of the testimony of Schepps as an
accomplice to Rose in the Rosenthal
murder. The appeal will be filed a*

HOUSEWIVES BELIEVE
COLD STORAGE EGGS
WILL BE SUBSTITUTED
No little anxiety has been manifested
by several Atlanta women since the
publication in The Georgian of the
story regarding the probable rise in the
price of fresh country eggs.
This anxiety comes as a result of
their fear that the possible famine in
good eggs will result in cold storage
eggs being sold to them for the real
country article fresh from the hens.
But their fears are groundless, pro
viding Atlanta’s ordinance covering
this feature is enforced.
When Mayor Robeit F. Maddox held
forth in the city hail in 1910 an ordi
nance was passed requiring that eggs
which were cold storage eggs should be
so marked and a heavy’ penalty was
provided for those not comply’ing with
the law.
So all anxious housekeepers have to
do is to ask specifically whether or not
eggs offered them are of the cold stor
age or country variety. If they are
imposed upon by any dealer the police
can be asked to do the rest.

SKWERT
Dr. McFarland Declares City’s
Poor Wretchedly Housed.
Lights Waste Money.
"Atlanta is wrong from beginning to
end; it was started wrong and the sys
tem of management Is almost criminal
in its waste,” said J. Horace McFar
land, president of the American Civic
association, after he had finished a tour
of inspection of the city.
The chief faults of Atlanta, accord
ing to Mr. McFarland, are:
Congestion of traffic due to incorrect
laying out of streets.
No grouping of public buildings so as
to improve efficiency of each and make
them mutual aids.
Lack of supervision of street system.
Waste of money in ornamental light
ing.
Poor housing of the poorer classes.
Smoke worse than Pittsburg.
"The streets were built for oxcarts
50 years ago and have never been re
built to meet the present demands,” he
said. "The entire city needs laying out
anew. In many places you have five
big arc lights where but three are need
ed, while in others you have one where
three are needed. You have spent too
much on ornamental lighting. Your
lighting and power poles should be the
same instead of having separate ones
for each offiep.”
Washington First City.
Then Mr. McFarland told of the ten
most beautiful and best planned cities
in the United States.
"Washington, of course, stands first
among the well planned and beautiful
cities of this country,” he explained.
"The city was planned before a single
house was built and the residents have
been forced to proceed upon those
planned lines. Then, too, under the
central form of government they get
more service for their money' than any
other city.
"Galveston, Texas, stands next to
Washington. Since th* flood a number
of years ago the city has been recon
structed on perfect lines. It was the
application of business principles to a
municipal problem.
"Des Moines, lowa, stands third be
cause of the tremendous advance in the
solution of municipal problems they
have made during the past few years.
“Detroit is one of the best planned
and most efficient cities in the country.
It has good housing conditions, mag
nificent parks for all the people, and a
street system which will bear the traf

"Buffalo is noted the world over for

Voliva, of Zion City*
Headed for Atlanta
In Warfare on Devil
Dowie’s Successor Predicts This
City Will Be Wiped Out
Unless It Reforms.
NEW ORLEANS, LA., Oct. 25.—Pre
dicting that within ten years, perhaps
sooner, Atlanta, New Orleans and all
other wicked cities, would be wiped
from the map by earthquakes, cyclones,
volcanoes, tidal waves or other disas
ters, Wilder Voliva, successor to John
Alexander Dowie, plenipotentiary' ruler
of Zion City, tiiumphantly entered New
Orleans today. He Is on a tour of th?
United States, and It is probable that
he will go to Atlanta in a few days to
try to oust the devil and his wicked
aids. He admits that he has a hard job
ahead, but he is confident that with the
will of God he will put the theaters
dance .halls and other amusement places
out of business.
Voliva brands oysters and swine as
scavengers of the earth and sea. Con
sequently he condemns them. Although
worth about $2,000,000, Voliva, once a
poor lawyer in Chicago, started out
with S 3 cents when he succeeded Dowie.
Unlike Dowie, Voliva has no whiskers.
On his private train he carries his own
barber, valet and other attendants. Yet,
he declares that he never spends more
than $125 a month for his family and
himself.
Voliva speaks here tonight and prob
ably Sunday. He will announce defi
nitely tomorrow whether or not he goes
to Atlanta.
of improvement when all the citizens
get together. It has been absolutely re
constructed during the past ten years.
"Oklahoma City' was. like Washing
ton, planned from the start and will be
one of the most efficient and beautiful
In the country.
“Kansas City' has spent $10,000,000 in
the past few years in street and park
improvement. It has been worth the
money.”
When Dr. McFarland had finished
speaking before representatives of the
Federation of Women’s Clubs and the
Chamber of Commerce in the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday afternoon Pres
ident VS ilmer L. Moore, of the chamber,
announced that a definite “city' plan”
will be made this fall. He declared
that the Chamber of Commerce would
be behind the movement and asked the
co-operation of the women's clubs.
Dr. McFarland said, during his
speech, that in fifteen years the center
of the city would be shifted if the pres
ent congestion Is not relieved. Wider
streets and grouping of public build
ings were the two things he urged as
being primarily important, while other
reforms could follow.
"Atlanta has not had one-fourth the
growth she would have had during the
past ten years if a city plan had been
put in force," he declared, and pointed
to Detroit as an example of what a
modernly planned city can do. "Buy
and lay' out your parks and recreation
grounds now,” he urged. "When the
time comes that you are forced to get
more you will be forced to spend ten
times their actual value, but you must
have them.
"Supervise the home building in At
lanta. There Is a large class who can
not choose where they are to live, but
must live where they may. That class,
In Atlanta, Is abominally housed and in
many places the conditions are fairly
filthy. The health of thousands is en
dangered.”
At the Auditorium last night Dr. Mc-
Farland showed by' stereopttcon views
the results to be obtained by a city
plan. Views of many best planned
cities were given, and then some views
of sections of Atlanta were shown. The
contrast was startling. He declared
that It was impossible for him to out
line a remedy—that he was a diagnos
tician and not a surgeon.
President Moore this morning said
that a meeting of representative busi
ness men and women of the city would
be called at an early date to draw up a
petition to council asking them to ob
tain a city plan. The Chamber of Com
merce will be behind such a movement,
and the funds will be obtained by pub
lic subscription.

The highest point of woman’s hap

nature’s Ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mother's
Friend is to be found medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
It is an emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth

system involved. It is intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
