GUILTY’ VERDICT GREAT SHOCK TO BECKER Jury, However, Was Never Di vided Except as to Degree of 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 physician w is summoned hurriedly to the criminal court building.

Hermann Oelrichs Hasn t Smoked or Tippled RICH YOUTH WINS BET p™® ■ s Hermann \ Oelrichs C i rva an d /O Mrs. William K. / /A Vanderbilt,Jr., Who Has Given Him a Fortune forLeading the Simple IklJ Li,e ‘ w* <Bl 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. CHATTANOOGA’S $500,000 COURT HOUSE DEDICATED CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Oct. 25.—The new Hamilton county court house, erected at a cost of $500,000, was dedicated this afternoon under the auspices of the three Masonic lodges of the city.

She is being looked after by Frank H Hawley, the former reporter who tes tified for Becker during the trial. He 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* soon as Becker !-• sentenced. V x 'X . 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. GEORGIAREINSTATES ORDER OF GOLDEN SEAL The Order of the Golden Seal, a cor poration which had its license revoked in the general order issued by the state insurance authorities affecting fifteen organization, has been reinstated. Attorney F. Baggarly appeared be fore the department and showed that the notice calling attention to the re quirements of the new law passed by the last legislature had not been re ceived. because the letter had been mis directed. It was further shown that the com pany had complied with the law, Mr. Baggurly said the company had assets of $1,733,544.52.

"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 fic of ( the city for hundreds of years to corned Buffalo Far Advanced. "Buffalo is noted the world over for its unique street plan. The city has provided for every possible emergency in its street construction, and Is also far advanced in municipal management. "The little city of Brookline, Mass., has attained magnificent civic improve ment one a tax rate of but one per cent. Full tax assessment is the explanation of this remarkable showing, and the city Is not ever hampered by lack of funds.

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. DR.
