LIEUT, BECKER
PLACEDON TRIAL
Accused Policeman Says He
Will Prove His Innocence
-ELIG KILLING BEING PROBED
Police and District Attorney Are Not
Willing to Accept Slayer's Story That
He Killed Zelig to Settle Grudge.
The trial of Police Lieutenant
Charles A. Becker, accused of Insti
gating the murder of the gambler,
Herman Rosenthal, was begun in New
York .Monday before Justice John V.
Goff of the supreme bench. A special
panel of 250 "struck Jurors" was in
court.
Behind the entire prosecution is
the alleged graft of the police in
allowing gamblers to ply their voca
tion because of tribute paid which It
Is alleged totaled more than $2,500,000
yearly.
Becker before the trial began said:
"I am Innocent and I can prove It."
District Attorney Whitman said:
"My case Is complete. The revela
tions will astound the public. We will
convict Becker and send him to the
electric chair and will develop evi
dence that will send many high police
efllclals to Sing Sing."
It was officially announced that
whatever motive was back of the kill
ing of "Big Jack" Zelig, the gang
leader, by Philip Davidson, a bowery
baker, the murder removes one of the
best witnesses egainst Lieutenant
Becker.
Zelig had promised District At
torney Whitman that he would testify
that "Jack" Rose told the truth when
Rose said that he went to Zelig, at
Becker's request, to get the gunmen
to kill Rosenthal.
Zelig would not have admitted that
he had rounded up the murderers, but
his testimony, in the opinion of Mr.
Whitman, was corroboration of the
part of Rose's story Incriminating
Becker.
It was freely admitted at the dis
trict attorney's office and at police
headquarters that no serious flaw had
been found In Davidson's story that
he had gone to a pawnshop In Jersey
City after being beaten and robbed
by Zelig and bought a revolver that
once had been the property of a po
liceman named Chris F. Maher, but
had been lost by the policeman some
months ago; that Davidson had then
come back to .Manhattan and had
killed Zelig solely because of this
private grudge.
"But," so ran the substance of re
marks by Commissioner Dougherty
and .Mr. Whitman, "if the shooting of
Zelig on the eve of the Ilecker trial
is a coincidence it is a most remark
able one. We are open to conviction
In view of many things that the kill
ing of Zelig at this time is much more
than a coincidence."
"Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie,"
"Whitey" Lewis and "Dago Frank"
broke their rule of not seeing report
ers to voice the opinion that David
son had been prompted by "someone"
to kill Zelig. Lewis said with fine
scorn:
"It wasn't Davidson's head that
thought of croaking 'Jack.' We could
tell you what's back of It, but we
won't say anything about that now.
Davidson has been a cadet all his life.
He's a hum and never was In Zeiig's
class. Why, I'll bet that was the first
shot he ever fired in his life."
EUROPE AWAITS WAR
Feared Nothing Can Prevent Hostili
ties in Balkans.
Europe is awaiting word that war
has begun In the Balkans. Servia,
Bulgaria, Montenegro and Greece have
formed an alliance against Turkey aud
it is believed that no influence can
now avert a conflict. While the coun
tries have many grievances against
the porte the holding up of munitions
of war on the Turkish frontier and
which were bound for Servia has
brought about the present crisis.
Whatever optimism Is felt as to the
outcome of the complicated affairs In
the Balkans Is based on tho fact that
In the first place the little Btates will
have great difficulty in raising funds
from the banks of Europe for the
financing of any war against Turkey
and in the second place tiiat tho bigger
countries look with disapproval on
such a war. France is urging definite
action on the part of the powers look
ing toward intercession.
The Turks are infuriated by the
Milsperings of a fight between Turkey
and Bulgarians north of Adrianople
and tho further rumor that the Bul
garians are marching toward that city.
War and nothing short or war is all
that will satisfy the Turkish people,
the papers say.

NO COMPLAINTS HEARD
Trade Revival Seems to Be Pretty
Well Distributed Dun's Review.
Dun's Review of Trade says tills
week:
"In no section is definite complaint
of deficiency in trade now heard,
while in most sections there is pro
nounced buoyancy, with the volume of
business in excess of former years, an
urgent demand for Immediate delivery
and a satisfactory demand for future
delivery reaching well Into next year
"A slight check is noted In new busi
ness in finished steel, but specifica
tions continue heavy and the rate of
production Is close to rapacity.
Activity is now well distributed, with
the smaller plants busier than for two
years and middlemen report inability
to fill orders."
FIVE MARINES WOUNDED
