BECKER PLANS TO
FIGHT TO LAST
NEW YORK POLICE LIEUTENANT
PREPARES FOR MAKING
APPEAL
JUSTICE GOFF'S CHARGE IS ASSAILED
Prisoner Maintains Iron Nerve, and
Attorney Says Verdict Will be
Reversed by Higher
Court
NEW YORK, Oct. 25 Police Lieu
tenant Becker spent today in the
Tombs planning his fight to annul
the verdict of the jury that convicted
him last night of the murder of the
gambler, Herman Rosenthal.
Becker has lost none of the iron
nerve that bore him through the trial
and the ordeal of hearing himself con
demned as guilty, if his appearance
and every action today count for noth
ing. He awoke refreshed from a
sound sleep and after a hearty break
fast summoned his attorney, John F.
Mclntyre.
After the conferance Mr Mclntyre
anhoucned that Immediate notice of
appeal would be filed. Without this
appeal, Becker, who is due to be sen
tenced next Wednesday, if the usual
procedure were followed, would take
his seat in the electric chair the first
week in December. The filing of the
motion, however, will act as a stay,
and nine months may elapse before
his fate is determined.
"I don't mind saying that we expect
a reversal," BecKer's attorney said.
"The appeal will be on the grounds
that the verdict was against the
weight of evidence; that the justice's
charge was 61 a character, to injure
the chances of the defendant; on the
justice's failure to rule that Sam
Schepps was an accomplice in the
murder and on the error of law in
the refusal of the justice to allow-tes
timony submitted by the defense."
Either "Whitey" Lewis of Lefty
Louie" will be the next of the seven
men indicted for the 'murder to be
placed on trial District Attorney Whit
man announced. November 7 is the
date fixed. Meanwhile, Jack Rose,
"Bridgie" Webber, Harry Vallon and
Sam Schepps, the four informers, will
be kept in the West Side prison.

Great on Both
Sides
LONDON, Oct. 25. The Bulgarian j
and Greek armies hjpe carried out
successfully their part in the first
stage of the war waged by the Balkan
States against Turkey by the capture
of Kirk-Kilisseh and the Turkish base
in the town of Servia. Their allies,
Montenegro and Servia, are now work
ing desperately to do their share by
overcoming the Turkish posts at Scu
tari and Kumanova, which latter is
the key to Uskup.
It is said that the Bulgarians ex I
pected Kirk-Kilisseh to hold out long
er and its speedy fall is considered a
great achievement. The victors in
the great battle are now confient of
their abaility to cut the communica
tions between Adrianople and Constan I
stinople.
The capture of Adrianople, in the
opinion of military experts will be
difficult. Its forts are thoroughly up
to date and are connected by under
ground motor railway- line.
The Buigtrians captured many guns I
much ammuniti6n and food at Kirk
Klisseh. Particulars as to the num
ber of prisoners of war have not been
given out.
Even after the fire of the Bulgar
ians finally overcame the fortress,
fierce fignting took place in the
streets, said a special dispatch from
Stara Zagora today. '
The Turks declare the evacuation j
of Kirkt-Kllsseh was a "stragetical
retirement?' a phrase which became I
familiar during the Russian retreat
in Manchuria. They still have a big
army at Adrianople and along the line
to Constantinople.
A dispatch to Lloyds from Burgas,
the Bulgarian port on the Black Sea,
says the Turkish fleet is blockading
the bay.
THRILLING RUNAWAY
STOPPED BY TEAMSTEI
A team of horses belonging to W.
13. Hiddleson ran away on Washing
ton Street Friday but before tSey got
out of the city limits they were
caught. Mr. Hiddleson had come to
this city, bringing with him several
sacks of potatoes, one of which he de
livered at the Burke home on Thir
teenth ana Washington Streets, when
the horses started to run. ' They ran
from Thirteenth to Twelfth Street on
Washington, and, turning at the cor
ner of Twelfth, ran up the cement walk
between a cement wall and a tele
phone pole on which was a United j
States mail box. The box was torn
from the pole, and the cement wall
slightly damaged. The wagon was
upset and the remainder of the pota
toes were thrown out. TEe horses
were making good time when a team I
ster stopped them.
DMEN WOULD
AID CITY'S MORALS
The Woodmen of the World initiat
ed three applicants for membership
into the order Friday evening and re
ceived four applications. The Wood
men of the World stand mainly for
sanctity of the home and the main
topic of the evening was the better
ment of the conditions in Oregon City
along these lines. Those present
realizing that the conditions among
young people in Oregon City and vicin
ity are not what they should be, ling
ered a long time after lodge and dis
cussed ways and means for their bet
terment.
After the installation of the candi
dates and a discussion of local con
ditions the lodge enjoyed a banquet
in the banquet room. A movement
is on foot in the camp to organize
several degree teams so that Oregon
City Loge Number 148 will -be able
to initiate candidates better than any
other lodge in the state.

TAX DEBATE

REAL ESTATE
DEBATE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING
Oregon City Lawyer Admits that
$40,000 Has Been Spent by Single
Taxers in Present Cam
paign HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 25., (Spec
ial) While the second of the Shields
U'Ren debates on single tax held here
tonight was not characterized by the
fire Inat marked the first one in
Portland, Charles Shields charged
W. S. U'Ren with having sold all his
land and invested "every cent of it
in bonds and mortgages."
" "So it does not matter to you
whether we have single tax or not,
you know that under single tax you
will escape taxation and you want
the other fellow to have the pleasure
of paying'- said the . Seattle man.
Heil Bronner halls was packed to
the doors to hear the men debate
single tax. -
Mr. Shiels was applauded again and
again and while every thrust of his
opponent was well received, It could
easily be seen that at Hood River the
doctrine of single tax had received
its death blow. Mr. Shields said
U'Ren's statement that single tax
would make the taxes lower by in
creasing the taxation on land remind
ed him that when he was in Seattle
the electric light company raised his
rates, telling him he would pay less.
His bills were higher however.
In reply to question by Mr. U'Ren
Mr. Shields said he was Paid no sal
ary at all for his work as : secretary
of the Oregon Equal Taxation League,
that he was vice president of the
Spokane Grain Company and drew his
money from this concern, ' that he
worked in Oregon because he helped
defeat single tax in Washington where
the Fels slush fund was spent liber
ally for single tax and that as the
same men came to fight for single
tax in Oregon he followed them. Mr.
U'Ren admitted that under his sup
er vision alone the single taxers had
spent $40,000 in the present cam
paign in Oregon. The men will de
bate in Oregon City tomorrow night
and in Salem Monday.
A small classified aa will rent that

Dr Charles M. Sheldon, the noted
author and minister, was a guest oi
Oregon City Friday and he frankly
admitted that he liked the town. Dr.
Sheldon, however, was here for busi
ness and he did not have much time
for giving encomiums. At the Congre
gational Church in the afternoon he
spoke to an interested congregation
of workers of the various churches
of the city. Among other plans which
he proposed was that of the starting
of- a great christian paper, clean and
standing for all things that the church
es stand for. He declared that men
of means everywhere were calling
for the formation of a syndicate, to
publish a christian daily. The speak
er also advocated giving the young
people charge of the evenin gservices
at the churches. For a month pre
ceding Easter he advised holding
Children's services, and urged that
all children possible be enlisted in the
cause of Christ,
About 200 men were present at the
oldi-fashioned church supper at 6:30
o'clock at the Baptist Church. It
was a chicken supper and the guests
enjoyed it to the fullest extent Hon.
H. E. Cross, toastmaster, called the
meeting to order at 7:15 o'clock and
the Rev. George Nelson Edwards pre
sented a plan of federation of the
local evangelical churches for social,
evangelical, temperance and purity
work, which was unanimously Indors
ed. The plan provides for a central
council which will be composed of
three members of each of the cooper
ating churches and will have charge
of the work of the federation. Mr.
Cross, speaking upon the federation
theme, said that there was a great
task before the men of Oregon City
and environs in abolishing the evils
that destroy social and political or
ganizations .
F. J. Tooze responded to the toast,
"Federation of. the Young People".
He spoke upon changing the twen
tieth century conditions, and the need
of trained christian leadership. He
said the three r's have been taught
in the past and suggested that to
