GREAT BATTLE TV PROGRESS
Terrific Bombardment Reported In
Dispatch From Podgoritaa.
LONDON, Oct 23. All divisions of
the Montenegrin army concentrated
south of Scutari are taking- part in the
attack on Tarabosch. A terrific bom
bardment, says a Podgoritaa dispatch to

COSSACKS ARE CALLED OCT
Tnrks Now Fear Russian Aggression
In Asia Minor.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22. In spite of of
ficial denials, says a cable dispatch to
the Chicago Daily News from St.
Petersburg, it is a fact that the Rus
sian reserves in the Northern Caucasus,
including Cossacks, and also those in
"Trans-Caucasia, have been called out
for service.
Another dispatch to the same paper,
from Constantinople, declares that the
Ottoman Government is closely watch
ing the various moves of the Russian
government in Asia Minor. The Turks
know, says the dispatch, that they can
not bring all of their large army in
Asia to European Turkey without grave
danger of precipitating Russian ag
gression in Asia Minor.
Turkey, the dispatch continues, real
izes that the disposition of its troops
does not depend upon the Balkan af
fair so much as upon the attitude of
Russia in Asia. It is said that herein
lies the secret of the retreat along the
extended lines of war.
A dispatch from Sofia to the News
says that the protection of the non-
combatant part of the population oc
cupies, the minds of the authorities
in spite of their absorption in the
etrucKle with Turkey. The govern
ment baa bought all the available
wheat supply direct from the peasants
and has sent it to millers lor conver
sion into flour. The flour is being sold
to the bakers and private consumers
at cost. It is said this has prevented
the millers and bakers from increasing
prices. To make the matter sure, the
dispatch says, the government issued
a decree forbidding any increase in
the prlpe of bread.

In Connecticut, Lured From

STRATFORD, Conn., Oct. 22. Miss
Rose White, of Bridgeport, Conn, was
shot to death tonight several miles
from here by members of a party of
five men. said to be from New York.
Three of the party have been arrested.
The other members of the party are at
large. All are said to be Italians.
The three arrested are Joe Buenna,
Joseph Monies and Frank Prlzzlchenl.
Two members of the party went to
night to a Bridgeport garage and
hired an automobile with William Hall
as chauffeur. .The party stopped on a
side street and three other men and
the woman got in the car. After
traveling several miles Hall was or
dered to stop his machine and the men
and the woman got out. Hall was
then told to turn around and come
back later for the party. He had not
gone far when he heard shots. Hall
thereupon notified the authorities, who
hurried to the scene and made the
three arrests.
The woman's body was found by the
roadside with five bullets in her neaa,

kept at me day and night. When
one left off the other began. Rose got
a letter from the District Attorney
one day and after he had read it he
came to me and said, 'Jack, the Dis
trict Attorney writes me that he wants
to know if you are going to corrobo
rate us. He says if you do, it will
be all right; If you don't you'll be in
dieted.
Promise of Money Made.
"Webber said to me. The only way
you can get out Is for you to do as
Mr. Whitman says and swear that you
saw Becker with Jack Rose and me
a few hours after the murder. If you
do that, you'll get out, like we will,
after the trlatT If you don't, you'll
be indicted and spend six months in
Jail.' Once Webber said to me, 'Jack,
for God's sake say- you saw Becker,
as we will testify. If you want money,
we will give you 11000, and if 'not,
when you get out, we'll go into the
hotel business. I'll put in 125,000 and
we will divide the profits even. All you
have to do is to lie for us. u you
lie, it's all right; if you don't you'll
go to JaiL' "
To all these importunities Sullivan
said he ipDlied that he would spend
six years' in. Jail if necessary rather
than swear a man s life away.
PUrt Forced oa Stand.
Louis Plitt, brother of Becker's so-
called press agent," was another wit
ness for the defense who was forced
on the. stand by . Justice Goff after
Mr. Mclntyre had declared his case
closed. Mr. Mclntyre refused to ex
amine PUtt and again the District At
torney read into the records evidence
against the state's case.
"Jack Rose told me," Plltt testified,
that Becker didn't have anything to
do with the murder. He said, 'I swear
to you on my mother's grave that
Becker didn't have anything to do with
this. He is innocent, but Ive been"
talking too much, and I ve got to
testify against him.' "
Tomorrow will be devoted to sura
mins: up. Justice Goff will charge
the Jury Thursday morning.
William Shapiro, driver and part
owner of the gray murder car which
carried the gunmen to the Metropole
and in which they made their escape
after shooting. Rosenthal, testified In
rebuttal. He added nothing- to pub
lished versions of his story, except his
statement that SO or 85 seconds
elapsed after the shooting before he
was able to start his car with the
gunmen inside in flight.
Becker Himself not Called.
What is said to have been an 11th
hour change of mind on the part of
Mr. Mclntyre kept Becker from the
witness stand.
"I didn't put Becker on the stand, '
Mr. Mclntyre said, "simply because I
did not care to dignify the opinion that
the charge of murder had been cor
roborated by credible, witnesses. The
law says that there can be no eon
vlnction on the testimony of accom
plices without corroboration. To have
put Becker on the stand would have
appeared to be an acknowledgment
that the testimony of Hallen and Lu
ban amounted to credible testimony;
whereas it appeared before the Jury
that Hallen had served 12 years in
state's prison and Luban was brought
in shackles from the New Jersey state
prison into the courtroom,"
Becker said:
"I wanted to go on the stand, but
my counsel advised against it. I do
not- believe any Jury would convict
me on the testimony offered in this
case."

declaration that he had heard one of

Mr. Whitman was unable to get all
