it. Becker began hla second terra of Incarceration in the i death houaa at Fine Sine Prison, and naif an hour later he waa var-bed In the regulation prison gray and waa locked In hla new quarters. Cell No. 17. on the gallery tier.

The number 64612 was wired to his cell for Identification purposes. The big man stretched himself on his bed for a short rest, and then ate fish and bollett potatoes In silence. Of the seventeen cells In the death house, the fire la the gallery tier are the hottest. Becker had to be placed In the upper tier because of the unprecedented congestion. His cell had not been occupied for many years, and he must make It his home until vacancies occur on the ground floor.

Betrayal of emotion Is said to be foreign to Becker's make-up. and the twice-convicted man showed absolutely no feeling when tie was led for a second time Into the long, low, shanty-like bouse of horrors. Ha glanced along the parallel rows of cells, noticed that the iron bars had been whitewashed, and made a casual comment to Warden James M. Clanry. Well, you have It looking like another place." he said.

The fourteen other occupants of the death house, twelve on tile ground floor and two on the upper, received the newcomer without a word. The curtains In their ceils had been drawn, as Is usij.1. and they were not raised again until be--ker was In his cell. When they were lifted Becker could see a numlwr of murderers from his point of vantage. On one aid of him In the hot boara." as the rxlla In the Kallri are called.

Is Jimmy Purcell. the gambler, who was convicted of killing his daughter on the same day that Becker's second trial began. Below him Becker could s-e Joseph McKenna. the Bronx girl murderer; a man named Tomlinson, and Ptetro Rcbacci. The latter will be executed on June 23, giving one of Becker's near neighbors a chance to move to the lower tier.

Two other executions must follow before Becker can hope to be released from his hot' box." Ta Slag Blaaf by Aat. Sheriff Grifenhagen personally took Becker to Ring Sing, and the trip was made In the Sheriff's automobile, a preceded in the transportation of condemned men. It was a memorable trip which Becker seemed to enjoy greatly. Thre( automobiles containing newspa vf men and friends of the Sheriff trailed on bvhlnd the official car. Brcker aroea early In the Tombs, and while Hhrrtff llnf rnhaen was making his plans for a quiet getaway Immediately after the sentencing, Becker's lawyers were planning to ask for a temporary stay.

that Becker mlpht have more, time to attend to his affairs. Becker was notified shortly before 10 o'clock, however, that he must go to Oaalning ItnmrUlatrly, and so he scut out for a pair of automobile goggles. At A. M- Bcker was taken across the Bridge of Highs into the Sheriffs office on the second floor of the Criminal Court Building. Just over the courtroom.

There he met his wife and they emhraced for the last time, perhaps. A few other members of the immeuiate family were present. Becker said his farewells to all of them and all gave way to tears excepting Becker. Juatlce Seabury entered court the same courtroom where Becker had been twice tr-d shortly after o'clock. The courtroom was fairly crowded and the counsel railing was occupied by representatives from the District Attorney's office and by Becker's attorneys, Martin T.

Manton, Harford T. Msrshall, and John B. Johnston, Charles Becker to the bar," called Clerk Penny. But waa not In sight The crowd' looked back at the big oaken door In the rear of the room, but It was two nutes before two I eputy Sheriffs. Becker between them, entered the room.

Becker carried his straw hat. He walked with big steady strides. When he reached the rail he bade good mornlsg to his lawyers. District Attorney Whitman arose and made the formal motion for sentence. Mr.

Manton then moved to have the verdict set aside, stating eight technical reasons for his motion. This was a strictly formal procedure and not one entailing any argument. Justice Sea-bury denied the motions summarily. Then Clerk Penny asked: "Charles Becker, have you to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon you according to lawT" He has nothing to replied Mr. Manton.

Seateaee of -Death. Leaning forward Justice Seabury then read these fateful words to the man at the rail: "The Judgment of the Court is that you. Charles Becker, for the murder in the first degree of one nerman Rosenthal, whereof you are convicted, be, and you are hereby, sentenced to the punishment of death; and it ia ordered, within ten days after this day's session of the court, the Sheriff of the County of New Tork deliver you, together with the warrant of this Court, to the Agent and Warden of the State Prison of New York at King Sing, where you shall he kept In solitary confinement until the week beginning Monday, July 1U14, and. upon soma day in the week so appointed, the said Agent and Warden of the State Prison of New Tork at tins Sin Is commanded ta do execution upon you. Charles Becker, in the mode a lui manner prescribed by the laws of the State of New York." Becker listened eagerly to catch every word.

There was not even a lump In his throat. While County Clerk William SchneWer bent over Clerk Penny's desk to sign the death warrant Becker conversed with Mr. Manton. Sheriff firifeijiagen. who had sat near the IHsonrr, came forward and took the warrant.

At the same moment Deputy Kheriir Miiler placed a. handouf on Becker's right wrist. When Becker shook hands with his lawyers the Uttie chain on his wrist clinked. The prisoner was led back to the Tombs over the bridge, and here began Sheriff Grifenhagen's strategic move. To satisfy the big crowd which was all about the Criminal Coirt Building the fcherlff sent the old Black Maria out of the prison yard.

There were ten prisoners In the van, all bound for ilackwell's Island. But the crowd got the idea that ail the excitement was over Becker, and many followed the van up Lafayette Street. i Start frosa the Tomba. minutes later the prison gates opened again and the Sheriff's automobile rolled out. Mr.

Grifenhagen sat in the1 front seat with the chauffeur. Under) 8herlff Bowers, with Deputy Sheriff Kluberdanse and Miller, having lacker between them, were In the Th machine darted awav at Ktt Vr-d an" even the photographers were foiled. At Canal Ptreet the re-porteii automobiles fell in. The route fed urt Lafayette street through Street, to Madison Avenue, to Potty-second Street, west to KlfUl Avenue, up Fifth Avenue to Central Park, through the Park ta Riverside Drive sn.l Broadway to Yonkers, Tarryvown. and finally to Os-siiing.

The first stop waa made at Broadway and Hilleide Avenue, when a tire, on one of the automobiles blew out. It was not the Sheriffs car, but the Sheriff waited until repairs had been made. The next stop was at a little yellow 4 house In Mnnholu Avenue, just off Broadway. The newspaper men couiu not understand whv tli Sheriff had turned his car Into this little street, nor cculd they understsnd why the horn on the official car waa tooted so vigorously. But when the cars drew up in front of the little house a gray-haired woman about "i years of came to the gate.

Raisinir his handcuffed erm over the seat Becker waved to the HtUe old we ll man lhats Uranny Phay. he exclaimed. I asked the Sheriff whether I couldn bid l.er jcood-bve. She brought me up The little woman stopped at tln gte and waved her hand. Then she eemea to become very nervous and tried to run back Into the house.

On the steps she met her son. about years oid. who ran by her and out into the street to the official car. He shook Baker's hand and said good-bye a number of ttnies. Ihen be Joined his mother at the pate and both continued to wave farewells while the automobiles turned around and sped away.

It was explained later that Mrs. Shay had taken care of Becker when he was a little boy. He had not seen hrr for two years. A short ston was made at the Flor ence Inn In Tarrvtown. and Becker Hunted a cigar, lie shielded his face with his hat while a photographer tried snap his Picture.

All along the way Becker talked about tne scenery of Westchester ounty He knew the names of sll the big estates and the names of their owners. "There's no rjlaca like the he told the men beside him. When I get out I'm going to get out in the country. Into the Wrong? Itoad. When the official car was very near the prison the chauffeur headed his car Into the wrong road.

Becker, from his seat In the rear, shouted out: No, turn to the left; that'a the way to the prison." A big crowd of prisoners were at work, on the road In front of the prison when the automobile arrived and they scattered at the tooting of the horns. Prin cipal Keeper Thomas Mclnerny received the prty and without a moment's delay Becker was tsken down the prison steps and into the Death Hou. Warden Clancy came In and formally accepted the death warrant irom bneriu uruen-hagen. The first step In the prison routine was the bath and change or doming. Then came riinner.

but since the dinner hour had passed a special dinner had to be served. Alter inut tne prison number waa attached to the cell. In the afternoon the Rev. Father William K. Cashin, Catholic chaplain of Sing Sing, visited the doomed man.

Father Cashin converted Becker to Catholicism during the first Inc.irceratlon. He and Becker became good friends and Kalher Cashin would have testified for Becker at the second trial if he had not been barred by a ruling of the court I am sorry to see him back, said Father Cashin to the reporters. Warden Clancy was of the opinion that Becker looked worse than he did when he left Sing Sing. They all flourish here." ne saw. But It Is a shame to put any man in the gallery tier of the Death House.

We must do It for want of room. Next week we will receive two more men and that will fill the Death House to Its capacity. The one condemned woman in our care Is In a specially constructed en in nf the Drlaon houses. I am sure I don't know what we will do if thev send us any more." Mrs. Becker.

It waa said at the prison, would come to see her -husband today and bring a suit case fTled with legal documents. She can cdme to see her husband onee a week on set days. On each occasion Becker will change cells with one of the men on the ground tier. It would be impossible to visit a man on the upper tier. This will be a hot Bummer for Becker," said one of the keepers yesterday.

There are a few fans In the Death House, but they don't serve much good up In the gallery. I feel sorry for blm." It was announced yesterday that a notice of appeal In Becker's cum wouhl be filed within a few daye. This notice, of course, automatically stars execution so that Becker will not have to din during the week beginning with July The Becker lawyers have stated that they would be ready to argue the case before the Court of Appeals at the beirinnlng of the Fall term In October. It Is believed, however, thst It will be a year before the court can act on the case. WANT STATION ATPRISON.

Ossining Folk With Convicts Kept Away front the Village. OSSININO. N. Msy 29. The people of this village have started a movement to have the Sing Sing Prison authorities dispense entirely with the local railroad station as a means of bringing prisoners to and from the prison, and they have appointed a committee to confer with the officials of the New Tork Central Railroad, and also the Public Service Commission, to request that a station be built at the prison for the exclusive use of that Institution.

Some years ago the villagers succeeded in having the name of this village changed from Sing Sing to Oaalning. They contended that the old name was a hindrance to merchants In dtapoamg of their goods, as the general feeling prevailed thst Sing Sing at all times meant the prison. Now they want to keep the prisoners away from the village railroad station. Mayor Edward J. Holla has appointed John D.

Cockcroft Chairman of the committee to take up the matter. DE PAL MA OUT OF BIG RACE. Unable to Get Hla Car In Time for 600-Mile Run at Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS. May 29.

SAFETY IN MOTOR" BOATS. Don't Let Gasoline Leak, Is Veteran Builder's Advice. Keep ill gasoline out of tho bllpre water of vuur bout. Is the ndvlo t.i mo tor boat enthurlasts by a veteran boat builder, himself a lover of motor boating. Most of the exi losic ns that cv ry vcar mar the iport of motor boating are caused by gasoline In the bile.

A llehfert match or ITI ll-lll I I'll" candle or lantern Is all that Is then necessary to proauce a lirsi-tiea explosion. It is common to hear the expression, the gasollno tank blew up." As a matter of fact, gasoline tanks seldom blow up. It Is iooRe gasoline that causes the explosion.

I'nless the tank Is leaking there Is no chance for It to blow up. In fact, the beat builder says, he knows of only one, gasollno tank that exploded. In that case tho owner struck a match and looked Into the tank to see how much gasoline Wiis there. Many explosions and disastrous fires are caused by gasoline leaking from connections in the piping, either at the tank or carburetor or a coupling. It la a common belief among motorboat men that a dab of white lead or red lead at a worn connection will make It gasoline tight Such Is seldom the case.

The man who uses such methods is taklm; big chances. It Is better to buy new piping or. If possible, new connections. Keep gasoline where It belongs. In the tank, the piping and carbureto-, i ilu tufn art tele RH1I ana ii in sv the boat builder.

Professional fisher men, wno spena mosi uim mim their boats, have no fear of gasoline explosions, yet most of them smoke on board Hut the professional fishermen, as a rule, know the danger of loose gasoline and they go over their tanks and piping frequently to see that there Is no leak anywhere.

The Californians furnished the surprise to day, the Const sprinter Stanton, who was at D-ew's side when tho latter ran 4-5 this Spring, showing great bursts of spe--d. and rie surely will Ik; a real contender tomorrow, especially In tlin c-ntury- Cooltdge will dangerous in the hammer, while Maker and Nichols. the high Jumpers, look good for points. There was some splendid sprinting today, and tomorrow's century will be a classic.

Bond Is In the best of trim to win. and although Seward also Is good. Stanton will rive a battle to both men. The four earlv heats In the! 100 yards, sll were won In even time. but In ths 2-JO dash Lockwood of Penn- sylvania was fastest, doing Oil 4-3.

but i with Smith of Michigan and Stanton 01117 Liii.ii 01 a erauiiu nfiiinu. i nn iii.o is cery iruwcaiion ior a wonderful mile In the finals, snd with the possibility of a broken record. While ilkle of ale ran the fastest heat. 2 Meredith of 1 Vnne lvanln nd Barton of Harvard were In Just as good trim, lt.irrnn Is held by many as a favorite over both the Yalu man and the Pennsylvanian. Meredith ran second to insen of Michigan In tho third trial hea- which the Michigan man won in 1-tV Barron being a fifth of a second faster.

Meredith intends to run both the quarter and half In the finals, having mote than mi hour between the races. He will make the hulf mile his specialty, however, ns he Is out to beat Itrown tf Yale. Brown today won his heat handilv in 1 :57. while Meredith took the first heat In 1 .17 Caldwell of Cornell and Granger of Dartmouth both looked good In the half, while Spel-den of Cornell and Hayes of Princeton showed that they will be ro.il contenders. The hnlf mile Is expected to be the sensational event of tomorrow's championship programme.

There was hardly more than onllnarv hunllmir todav. P-mdt of Cornell romped over the high tlmliers in an Brntm if Dartmouth and Preble of C.i! ifornla In 4-S, these being Vy far the fastest trials. I-Vrguson with these three men will cotniirlse the racers tomorrow. In the low hurdles. Hhelton of Cornell ran a heat In 0:23.

Kerguson. however. will lie 'aster. Tho Vrtinsylvnnl.nn looks llk tho stroncest low hurdler In the; field, but Braun of Part mouth is good when in form ant! he seems to he now. In the field events the six qualifiers in the polo vault did 1J fe't.

Nichols of California and Camp of Harvard hemp in the lest form. Prltz of Cornell did not nualify. The hlgi jumpers all did 5 feet 10 Inches, Oler of Yale being due to fight It out for first place tomorrow with the California Jumpers, Maker and Nichols. The broad lumping was mediocre. Brodt of Cornell leading with 22 feet IVi lnch-a.

It was cold in tne bowl and this possiblv aooounted for the poor pTformances. In the hammer three men. Loughrldge, Kohler and Murphy, threw more than l.V feet, while, as was expjcted. Bcatty. Hart 1st n.

Foreign trade In American motor cars continues to increase, according to reports of the L'nlted States Iepartment of Commerce. Kx ports of cars for the nine months ending with March exceeded In valuation by more than tl.ouu.oio the exports for the corresponding fierloxl the year liefore ana by more than those during the corresponding period In 1U12.

Kx ports for April rrotn the port of New Y'ork consisted of automobiles, valued at 1 At a meeting of the Commercial Vehicle Committee of the National Auto I tvis week, the standardisation of trues (lrlllfri and the dancer of proceeding too faJt )n that direction at present were mobile tinnioci- or i ommerce. neni nere discussed. Another topic under discus slon was what constituted reasonable and equitable service after a truck hnd been sold. A convention of commercial vehicle makers mav be called to go further Into this subject. Proper maintenance of motor trucks as a factor in calculating returns lies l.ten a puzzle to many owners of commercial vehicles.

For this reason the Motor Truck Club of America has decided to devote Its next meeting, scheduled for June 20. to the garaging and maintenance of motor trucks, and a number of speeches by experts, together with Illustrations of garages both well and badly equipped and handled, will be on thd programme Purdue Wins Indiana Meet. LAFATETTE. Ind Msy 29. Purdue sprang a surprise today by winning the first State Intercollegiate field meet, scoring 744 points to "2 by Notre Paint and 13H by lndlar.a.

East of Purdue won the quarter-iii lie run In 60 S-6 seconds, and Pholpa tha pole vault at 12 feet 3 Inches, both breaking rurdue records. VANITIE HAS BRUSH WITH THE SPARTAN But Cup Defender Has "Walkaway Without Capt. Dennis Letting Her Out." Capt. Bill Dennis again put the cup defense sloop Vanitle through her pare on the Sound yesterday, this In a stiff 'J! -knot blow, and he crowded on mote canvas than the yacht had carried at any other time since her launching. Most of the sailing was done under mainsail, forestaysall.

and jib, but on one of the reaches, when the wind had let up a trifle, the baby jib topsail waa broken out and the bt? yacht fairly tore, through the water. Capt. Dennis said V. .41.1 nil HIiriHHlu llltftl lie uiu noi Biwiutr to let her out." and that he had not once lowered the centreboard In ths) windward going. Vanities owner, Alexander Smith Cochran, was on board during the spin snd with him was Frederick M.

Hoyt. For some reason Designer William Gardner preferred to see how the yacht behaved from a distance. and ha watched the performance from the deck of the power boat Flora Del Mar. Those who had been anxious for a chance to form some comparison of th speed of the rival cup yachts at last had their opportunity yesterday. After cruising alsnit for some time between Huckleberry island and Bartlett's Neck.

Vanitle picked up Kdmund Randolph's trim little fifty-foot racing sloop Spartan of Gangway Buoy and the two yachts swung off together to windward, anltio on the starboard and Spartan on tha port tack. The smaller sloop, sailed by Capt. Jim Barr, footed fast, but sha could not stay In the picture for a minute. In no time the Cochran boat had left her far astern, and in the two-mile run to Huckleberry Island Vanitle gained fully half a mile. What started as a brush ended In a walkaway, with the speedy fifty-footer hopelessly out If there was madness In this Impromptu race there was.

nevertheless. method in it. Only the day before, while-tuning up off Greenwich, Defiance had come abreast of W. Dodge's Eimurtl, another of tho New York fifties, and the same thing happened. The two paired off, nnd there was a sort of lace.

In which, nci-ordlng to the accounts that reached City Island, the swift little fifty footer held gamely on for some time, giving Defiance ail kinds of trouble to shake her off. It was a simple matter to put two and two together and reach the obvious conclusion that, on the basis of this showing. Vanltie is faster than Defiance, boat for boat. It was pointed out that the test was a fair one, since there wss civ little to rhiHisn between Spartan and SMiiiural In the matter of speed and that, if anything, Vanitle had been at a handicap, since the boat she so easily outsailed had defeated the other fifty-fooler In most of the races last Summer. But there will be plenty of time to settle these questions when Defiance and Vsnitle and Hesoltite meet later on.

Most of vesterdsy's going was In rough water. Sound was flecked with -1 i hum u. ii Vm. mil in the legion of Kxecution Light- Van-it le's long, graceful bow cut the rollers cleanly, sending the spray wide on either side. Her decks were dry aa a bone when she returned, notwithstanding that she had been through a heavy sea and had heeled almost to her lee rail.

Vanltie wtP go out for a final tuning up this morning and will try out her big dub topsail if the wind is right. In the afternoon she will be hauled out at J.icobs's yard for a cleaning before she meets Kesolute next Tuesday. OVERHAULING OF DEFIANCE. Fifteen Fret to be Cut Off 1 53-Foot Mast of Cup Defender. There will be but two yachts.

Resolute and Vanitle, In the opening races between the America's Cup defense sloop a hu will be held off Glen Cove, L. L. next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday The syndicate's candidate. Defiance, lies off Jacob's Yard. City Island, with her bowsprit sprung beyond repair, an 1 she will be lucky if she is rfady to get under sail for the special race arranged by the Larchmont l'acht Club next Saturday.

It is not merely the Injured bowsprit that puts Defiance out of the preliminary running. The boat is to undergo radical changes to her superstructure, which, according to George M. Pynchon, Managing Director of the syndicate of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York yachtsmen who own her, will greatly reduce the boat's ruling. The principal change, it Is understood, will be the lopping off of fifteen feet from her Kill-foot mast, which will necessitate a genernl shortening up of her stays and i letting and a general recuttlng of her tinm-nse canvas. We hope to make a decided reduction In her rutlnK." said Mr.

Pynchon nt his home In Greenwich. Isst nlKhr. without seriously affecting her Ss'ed. It will not bo necssary to haul the boat out to do this, but we do not expect to be at tho line in any of next we-k's rsces. although we hope to be readv for the special race at Lai-ch-mont." From tho moment Defiance arrived la these waters last Sunday the tremendous height of her mast was tbe subject of comment on all sides.

Those who arnued then that she would never be able to stand up under sal with such a tall spar were not the least surprised to hear of the changes decided upon yesterday. It is said that tea feet of the steel mainmast will be chopped away and that the pine topmast will be shortened five feet. There Is an extra mainmast for Defiance at City Island, and If there Is difficulty in cutting the present steel one, the ether, which is of wood, may be etepped In Its place. Critics who found fault with the trl-city yacht's high headgear believe that her troubles are only beginning and that she will have to abandon her single headsail before she Is through. George Owen, who designed Defiance, baa been sent for and he Is expected to hafrry down from Boston to supervise the alterations which her owners have In mind.
