During a recent Interview, Mr. Jo
seph Mercier, of 253 Walker street,
Lowell, Mass., said to the writer: "My
little boy, Clifford, now seven years old
has taken Father John's Medicine
whenever he had a cold or cough, ever
since he was two years old, and it
has never failed to give good results.
We find that the medicine stops the
wheezing, and he used to cough badly
at night and he does not do it when
we give him Father John's Medicine.
We believe that Father John's Medi
cine gives him increased weight and
strength, and wo know that while tak
ing it he always gains in weight. We
would not be without It in the house,
and strongly recommend 1' at her
John's Medicine to mothers of chil

GLADDEN UPHOLDS
NEWSPKPER WDITEDS
Says Profession Is as Sacred
a Calling as the
Ministry
Lawrence. Kan., May 12.—The news
paper profession is as sacred a calling
as the ministry, in the opinion of
Dr. Washington Gladden, of Colum
bus, Ohio, as expressed in an address
made before hundreds of newspaper
men here to-day at the national news
paper conference being conducted in
Kansas.
Other speakers on to-day sjjnrogram
were H. F. Harrington, of the Ohio
State Journal, and William Irwin, a
magazine writer. A paper by Frank
B. Noyes, of Washington, D. C„ presi
dent of the Associated Press, on press
association work was read.
Dr. Gladden decried what he re
ferred to as a tendency of some news
papers toward "habits of exaggeration"
and the exploitation of crime, vice and
scandal. He outlined four great tasks
for American Journalism in the per
formance of which he said it might aid
in purifying and invigorating public
opinion.
First, to teach people to avoid ex
aggeration and violent speech and to
cultivate moderate and rational modes
of expression.
Second, to resist the tendencies
which dementalize democracy and
which substitute the mob mind for the
deliberate habit.
Third, to hold the popular judgment
firmly to the truth that character and
manhood and not money and, popu
larity are the central values of human
existence.
Fourth, to turn the thoughts of men
more and more from the negative
virtue of detecting and exposing the
evil to the positive virtue of discern
ing and praising the good.

TUESDAY EVENING,
IK ROSE Hi
SHAPIRO Oil STUD
IN TRUL OF BECKER
Driver of Gunmen's Car Tells How
Police of District Were
"Fixed"
by Associated Prtss
New York, May 12.—"Bald Jack"
Rose, star witness of the first trial of
Charles Becker for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, appeared in that
role again to-day. A trifle stouter
than, when he appeared before, he
took the stand shortly before noon
and calmly told of the part he played
in the events leading tip to the gamb
ler's death. Substantially it was the
same story that he told at the first
trial.
Briefly Rose recited how Becker and
Rosenthal had entered Into partner
ship in a gambling establishment; how
they quarreled; how exposure for
Becker was Imminent, and how Rosen
thal's death was plotted.
Willie Shapiro, driver of the gun
men's car, also testified to-day. He
said he knew "Bald Jack" Rose and
"Brldgie" Webber. He told of receiv
ing a call at his stand in front of the
Cafe Boulevard late at night on July
15. He then went to Tom Sharkey's
saloon where he picked up Rose,
Harry Vallon and Sam Schepps. "At
Bridgle Webber's poker rooms the oc
cupants of the car got out," he said.
"Fifteen minutes later, Dago Frank.
Gyp tho Blood, Whltey Lewis and
Lefty Louie came out and I was or
dered to go to the Metropole Hotel.
Sees Rosenthal Fall
"At the Metropole, Dago Frank or
dered me to turn the car around so it
would face toward Sixth avenue. The
four men got out and went to the
other side of the street. In fifteen
minutes I heard a shot and then four
more. I looked toward the Metropole
and saw a man fall.
I started my machine. I was go
ing to get away from there. I had
gone about fifty feet when the four
men caught up with me and jumped
on board.
"I heard Whitey say 'Make the
chauffeur turn around and 'wait. The
cops are all fixed. Everything Is all
right. Becker has fixed them.'
"After the murder 1 took the four
men to One Hundred and Twenty-
Sixth street where they left me."
"What did you say was the con
versation in your car before the mur
der?" asked Mr. Man ton, of Becker's
counsel.
"Whitey said 'everything is all
right; Becker has the cops fixed." "
Mr. Manton read a copy of the tes
timony Shapiro offered at the trial of
the gunmen. In that Shapiro said
"Frank said everything is all right.
Becker told me so." Under a fire of
cross examination the witness got bad
ly confused and was unable fully to
reconcile his testimony of to-day with
that of the previous trial.
Bell Wins First
Round From Young
in Auto License Case
Attorney General Bell won the first
round In the mandamus proceeding to
compel the State's fiscal officers to pay
to the Highway Commissioner money
from the accumulated automobile
licenses to-day when a jury returned
an affirmative verdict on ten questions
of fact submitted in the case against
State Treasurer R. K. Young. This
case went on trial yesterday, the State
Treasurer having secured a severance
of his case from that of Auditor Gen
eral Powell, who refused to answer.
Testimony was given yesterday aft
ernoon and this morning ton ques
tions of fact were submitted after
Judge McCarrell had overruled objec
tions made by ex-Attorney General M.
Hampton Todd. Mr. Todd made thir
teen exceptions to the questions which
concerned the status of Mr. Young,
the existence of the money in the State
Treasury and the refusal to pay the
bill in the case.
An appeal will probably be taken
after questions of law are argued.

duced for first reading next Tuesday.
The provisions of the measure were
discussed briefly by Mr. Lynch who
said it was combination of the ordi
nances of several other cities. It is
likely that a license fee will be charged
for the privilege of erecting these
tanks.
The journeymen plumbers of the
city presented two big petitions both
of which were referred to Commis
sioner Bowman. One asked that H. C.
Heck 1722 North street be appointed
as the journeymen representative to
the plumbing board; the other com
plained that the letter of the law was
not being observed lu the plumbing
I regulations and asked that the jour
neymen be given a hearing on the sub
ject. Jlr: Bowman said he understood
that among the things complained of,
is that the vent pipe of the required
weight are not being generally used
because this would necessitate special
foundations and therehy cause too
much expense and inconvenience. He
will fix n time for the hearing in the
near future, he said.
The. new car which Mr. Taylor
wishes for the park department is
now being tried out. It is a five-pas
senger Reo. The ordinance appro
priates $1,305 for the purchase, $455
of which was obtained from the sale
of the old runabout. Of the balance
of sßso,the money Is made up from
several funds, inehulng S3OO from the

FRONT ST. PIK
LIEN ASSESSMEHTS
CERTIFIED TODIY
Treasurer Copelin Sends List of
Unpaid Costs to City Solici
tor For Filing
Unpaid paving assessments against
abutting property owners on Front
street between Maclay and Division
streets, were certified to the City So
licitor to-day by City Treasurer O. M.
Copelin.
The assessments were due two
months ago but the accounts were only
completed to-day. They will form the
basis for filing the liens and incidental
ly the basis for any action which the
North Front street property owners
may wish to bring against the city to
be reimbursed for paying for the full
width of the street.
Some of the property owners, it is
understood, have retained counsel and
it is believed that the city may be
asked to agree upon the facts and sub
mit the case to the court. The property
owners hold, it Is said that they are
liable only for the cost of paving to
the middle of the street and that the
western half of the paving should be
paid for by the city in view of the
fact that tho city maintains a park
way strip on the west side.
The position is based upon the Dau
phin county court's recent decision in
the Whitehall street case. There the
half abutting on Reservoir Park was
held to be non-assessable. The city will
contend, however, that the situation
differs in that Front street from Ma
clay to Division had been condemned
fop street purposos from the eastern
curb to low water mark on the river
and that the municipality is therefore
not liable for tile cost of any of tho
paving. What land could be set aside
as parkway would be Bet aside for
park or grass plot purposes similar to
the line of action that was followed
in State street. This, it is held by city
officials, does not necessarily hold the
city liable for any of the paving as
sessment. The cost of the paving the
street was $.16,710.54.

War Department Leases
Staten Island For New
York's National Guard
New York, May 12.—The Cameron
estate on Staten Island is being leased
by the War Department for a concen
tration camp where several army di
visions and State troops will be mo
bilized. It is estimated that the site
alone will cost the government
$500,000.
Plans already complete are for the
construction of wooden barracks on
this side for permanent use and the
tents and other equipment of the vari
ous organizations will be stowed away
on the transports.
On good authority it is learned that
the George W. Vanderbilt and adjoin
ing properties at New Dorp also will
be rented for camp gTounds.
The leasing of the camp sites and
the preparations made for the em
barkation of the troops is a significant
incident that war is near. The activity
to-day in army circles has never been
so great since the Spanish-American
War.
General Fanston Says
Mexicans Cannot Take
Vera Cruz Water Works
jjy Associated Press
Washington, D. C., May 12. —Presi-
dent Wilson and members of the Cab
inet. discussed to-day plans for parti
cipation by the United States in the
Mexican mediation conference to begin
next Monday at Niagara Falls, On
tario, and various problems which
have arisen since the occupation of
Vera Cruz by American military
forces.
Before the Cabinet met a message
was received from General Funston at
Vera Cruz, in which the American
commander declared that no attention
should be paid to "alarmist reports"
that Mexican forces were threatening
to attack the Vera Cruz water works.
General Funston said there was no In
dication of movement of Mexican
troops in preparation for any such at
tack.
"There have been rumors," General
Funstons message read, "that an at
tack was threatened. These have been
due to remarks attributed to General
Maas. The water works cannot be
taken from us by force. If the pipe
line should be cut, it could be repaired
in a few hours."
General Funston added that 200
sacks of American mail destined for
Mexico City and delivered at the break
in the railroad, still lay on the tracks
in possession of the Mexican outpost.
He had no news of Private Parks, who
rode into the Mexican lines and has
not returned.
Consul Alger, from Mazatlan, re
ported to-day at the State Depart
ment for instructions. He stated that
between 1 4,000 and Ifi.OOO Constitu
tionalists were In the vicinity of Ma
zatlan when ho left. At that time they
were projecting troops on the tiring
line in alternating thousands in the
hope of wearing out the Federals.
The thirty Americans were left at
their own request. Most of them were
women and children. Several hundred
foreigners of other nationalities also
refused to leave.
