The prison barber was summoned to Decker's cell during the morning and clipped his hair. A round place was shaved on the crown of his head where the metal electrode will fit.

Some believe he will even protest his Innocence from the chair. There are rumors he will leave a statement to be published after his death. NEW YORK, July 29 Justice Ford, of the supreme court, last night denied a new trial to Charles Becker, ex-police lieutenant under sentence of death for Instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. This decision means that Decker must be electrocuted Friday. Justice Ford's decision covered five full pages of legal-cap paper, and contained about 1500 words. It goes Into the details of the affidavit filed by the attorneys for Becker, and de clarea that the evidence proffered "Is for the most part cumulative and hence insufficient." Referring to the plea of W. Bourke Cochran, chief counsel for Becker, that the right to grant a new trial Is inherent in the court, the court's de rision says: "I cannot find anywhere In the au thorities even a suggestion that this court possesses any such (Inherent) power. On the contrary, as has been pointed out, the power is granted by statute and must be exercised In strict compliance with it" In conclusion the court says: "As I studied the authorities and examin ed the affidavits, the conviction has grown upon me thnt It (a new trial) could not he granted without disre garding the law and attempting to usurp the functions of another depart, merit of government. The motion, therefore, Is denied," ENGLAND IN PERIL SAYS LLOYD GEORGE LONDON, July 29.

"Mrs. Pankhurst" of Sioux Indians Mrs. Zlppala Mini Allen, a full blooded Sioux Indian womun is often referred to as the "Mrs. Pnnkhurst" of her tribe, because of the militant methods she used in getting recogni tion for the. squaws in tribal confer ences. For years she has preached sex equality among the Sioux Indiana of the west, until now women are ad- .mltted to oil tribal councils and have a vote the same as the "braves." Mrs. Allen was found In the arms of her dead mother after the famous battle of Wounded Knee and was raised by a white family, but later re turned to her own people to assist In their reformation. She has helped or ganize many of the Indian schools of the west. til in ULIltlHilO mJf 'l -i.'.

WITH MARINES 0 DUTY PEACE HOW REIGNS HA I New Ordinance to Regulate Autos When Fire Bell Rings Because automobile owners have, acquired the habit of chasing the fire truck to fires and crowding in close to the burning property, thus block ing the exit of the truck and expos ing themselves to danger, the city council last evening adopted an ordi nance making It a punishable offense for the driver of any vehicle to talio his vehicle within 200 feet of burn ing property. Tho ordinance also provides that, when the fire bell sounds, all vehicles must drive to the nearest right hand curb and stop for two minutes or un til the lire truck has passed on its way to the fire. This Is calculated to lessen the danger of collisions be tween tho truck and other vehicles. Violations of the ordinance are pun ishable by a fine up to $50 and a Jail sentence. Tho ordinance passed last year re organizing the fire department was amended last evening so that the sal ary of the firemen Is Increased 110 a month. This action was agreed to at a recent meeting Inasmuch as the firemen are doing the city hall jan itor work. More Paving Wanted. Another Paving petition was pre sented to the council last evening.

Roller Is Rented. The Warren Construction Co. last night offered to rent the city's steam roller for 100 a month and the prop. osiuon will probably be accepted, i The mayor and street committee were' given power to act. The tompan'v may use the roller here or niav send It to Portland but guarantees to re turn it in as good a condition as it is now. The contract and bond of the War. ion company for the paving of Alta street et al were approved as were the bonds of Beck and Williamson for cleaning the streets and of G. T. Meeker for sprinkling. C. S. Wheeler appeared before the council to ask that, in the rebuilding of the Tweedy wooden building, which recently burned, a fireproof wall be built between that property and his own. He would stand part of the expense, he said. Mr. Tweedy was present and showed a disincli nation to comply with the request, de claring he was only asking for a per mit to repair the building In confor- nation with the city ordinance.

With the receipt today of practically a complete report of the torpedoing of the Ameri can steamer Leelanaw by a German submarine, state department officials began the preparation of a note to Germany requesting the payment of damages on the ground that the Prussian-American treaty of had been violated. A report from American Consul Dennison at Dundee, Scotland, brought to light the fact that the captain of the Leelanaw attempted to escape but submitted to visit and search after warning shots were fired. The right to escape, officials declare, is con ceded by international law. only re peated attempts to evade capture or forcible resistance being regarded as affecting the case. I'nofficlal reports that the German submarine commander was unwilling to jettison the cargo of the Leelanaw and to allow her to proceed as the treaty of 1S2S provides cleared up the doubts here on this point. The ma terial necessity for the presentation of a claim similar to that made in the case of the William P Frye was there fore practically ready fer considera tion tnnlaht.

For the first time since the great German thrust against Warsaw began the Russians have established an ascendancy. From a Petrograd communique it is evident the Russians hold the advantage along Von Mackenzens front. This -could only mean that the enveloping move ment of the Germans Is defeated. Late dispatches indicate a part of the fore, es of Von Hindenburg from north and west of Warsaw have been diverted to reinforce Von Mackenzen in an at tempt to break the Russian line south, east of the city. With the failure of the Teutons to reach Ivangorod tho entire movement is checked. London is viewing the situation In Poland with equanimitv. There 1 now a growing belief that Warsaw won't fall before the German attack. r.ven should the Russians eventuall be forced to abandon the city they are now regarded as being in position to conduct an orderly retreat upon the breast of Litovsk. which is even more strongly fortified than the Polish capital.
