PAPER
SOUTHS SEALED
BY DEAMEAT
Wabber and Vaiion Refuse to
Name "Higher Ups"
WARNING FROM TRIUMVIRATE
'Throw Becker to the Wolves," It
the Word Becker's Bank Deposits
In New York Alone Nearly $200,000.
Word reached District Attorney
Whitman of New York that "Biidgie"
Webber and Harry Vallon have been
persuaded by representatives of the
three men named by Burns as the
directors of police blackmail to con
ceal the Identity of the man ror whom
Lieutenant llecker was working.
James M. Sullivan, declining to act
any longer as Vallon's coun.-el, hur
ried from the Westside court prioon
to tell .Mr. Whitman that the threats
and persuasions of the triumvirate, tho
lawyer-politician, the hotel man and
the police department olllcial have
silenced Rose's fellow-informers.
For the past week, said Mr. Sul
livan, messengers from the big three
and from dishonest inspectors have
visited Rose, Webber and Vallon. The
messengers brought word that the In
formers were at liberty to make any
kind of accusations they please!
against Becker, but that if they men
tioned any of the names that Becker
had given to Rose and Webber they
might as well kill themselves, because
they would certainly he killed after
they got out of prison.
Rose declined to bo Influenced by
threats or promises of reward. lie
lold Mr. Sullivan that he would stand
fast and that he .would do everything
he could to aid the district attorney
in bringing to justice the big three of
the gambling graft as well as the
police official who profited with Becker
In the distribution of graft money. But
it was evident to the lawyer that
Webber and Vallon had been
"reached."
Mr. Whitman did not doubt that the
triumvirate of blackmail had been us
ing every effort to close the mouths
of Webber, Vallon and Rose. He had
heard previously of the threat made to
Webber by the reprefentatlve of a
police Inspector, who called on Web
ber at 2 o'clock one morning and
threatened him with death if he men
tioned the name of the inspector. Mr.
Whitman will let Webber and Vallon
decide for themselves what their fate
shall be. Ills agreement with them Is
a conditional one, based entirely upon
the value of their evidence, and If
they decline to reveal facts In their
possession they may yet be indicted
for murder.
"The situation has got down to this,"
said Attorney Sullivan, "Whitman has
made a case against Becker and none
nf Becker's blackmailing employers
seem to care a hang about Tiecker'f
situation. In fact, they have sent
word to Rose, Webber and Vallon io
throw Becker to the wolves. But they
are determined that their own names
shall not be brought out. Rose will
make good. But Webber and Vallon
have been reached and I am afraid
they have made up their minds to
weaken."
TRAIN KILLS FGUR PERSONS
Young People Walking on Railroad
Track Hurled to Death.
Four women, were killed and two
injured when a Baltimore and Ohio
passenger train struck an outing party
on the Western Maryland railway ex
tension one mile west of Frostbtirg
station, Md.
The dead are: Mrs. Carrie Sehne'd
pr, aged twenty-seven; Orlando
Florida, .Miss Jennie Schneider, agd
twenty-two, and Miss Bessie 'Wil
liams, aged thirty-two.
The young folk3 were walking to
ward Froslburg, returning home, on a
curve with their backs toward the ap
proaching train. A freight train had
lust passed on the westbound track.
Passenger Engineer Cunningham saw
the danger and blew the whistle, but
he was speeding about thirty miles
an hour and his train was on them
before he could slow down.
CHILDREN PERISH IN FIRE
Dog Upsets Lamp and Three Tots
Burn to Death.
At. New Brighton, l'a three little
children, Edward l.eroy Taylor,
aged six niniiths; .Tames Taylor, two
ears, and John Taylor, four years,

parents seriously burned in a (ire
caused by the explosion of a kerosene
lamp upset by a pet dng when it
leaped to a table for a piece of meat.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley
Taylor, were badly bruised and
burned in attempting to rescue the
tots.
The dog was burned to death while
endeavoring to arouse the family and
Rave them from the lire which It had
unwittingly caused. The children's
sleeping place was in tho kitchen.
Minn Inspectors Warned
The liiiinil.itiun of two mines near
