Alderman Curran and Mr. Buckner. who will conduct the examination of witnesses, have not yet determined the order in which witnesses shall be called after IValdo. It la probable, however, that their plan wtl next require th summoning of Waldo's Immediate predecessor, Cropeey, Baker, Bingham, and McAdoo. The scheme of th inquiry Is to begtn by bringing- out In full th police policy of th administration.

With th official duty of other officers and members of the department defined, th commute will be In a better position to determine how far the individuals of the department have don their duty and also how effective the policy of the administration has been. After the Commissioners will come a legion of witnesses, policemen, police officials, officials of other departments, gamblers and ex-gamblers, and private citizens. Records have been furnished to the Curran Commute by John Purroy Mitchel. President of the Board of Alderman; the ex-Commissioner of Accounts, and by Raymond FoHdlck, present Commisntoner of Accounts, and by the Citizens' Committee. It is planned to examine more than 100 witnesses, and Chairman Curran believes the Inquiry will cover a period of months.

One of th witnesses who will probably follow shortly after the ex-Police Commissioners will be Magistrate Corriiran, who has furnished the committee with evidence and naxnea of witnesses to bear out SM-Ar wheel length.

In calling itnesses' the committee will follovr the advice of District Attorney Whitman. No one under indictment or la danger of being Indicted will be asked to appear, and doubtful cases will be referred to the District Attorney. The Al-dermanlc Committee has the same power aa a court In summoning witnesses, and may punlah for contempt by making complaints to the Supreme Court. The committee has more latitude than a court In questioning wltneHiea. The only rule of evidence governing the Inquiry Is that questions shall bear on police conditions.

Th only power of direct action lodged la the Aldermen Is to make certain rules governing the Police Department, but Alderman Curran and his associates expect to accomplish their most Important ic suits through enactments of legislation made in the light ot the recommendations of the committee. OUTLINES BECKER'S DEFENSE. Lawyer Declares Conspiracy of Qun-men and Gamblers Will Be Shown. District Attorney Whitman, having gained detailed Information of the plan of counsel for I.leut. Becker to show that the murder of Herman -Rosenthal was wer Injured.

That earn evening B.flob spectators at the Luna Park Motordrome In Cleveland saw Bob Hunter of Newark killed and Finn HuttlnKeV of Clevoland seriously Injured In a collision. Hut tinker's front wheel struck Hunter's rear wheel. The Huttlnger machine shot to the top of the track lilt the fence, and In a blare of fire fell to the bottom of the track, whirling over and over, a mass of twisted steel. Huttlnger was pitched over the bare when th motor cycle struck the fence, end turned somersaults along th track ahead of the machine. Hunter plunged directly over his machine, breaking hla neck.

"The detene will show that these men were reaping a rich harvest, by blackmailing gambling Joints and by holding up players who bsd made winnings. The big money they wer making was endangered by the clamor that Herman Rosenthal was making. The defense will attempt to show that these men had committed murder for less than what Rosenthal had done to them.

It will prove that Lefty Louie 'Gyp the Blood." and Whltey Lewis were men of the moat desporate type, whose records show that they would not think twice of murdering a man who stood In their way, and that theywould need no suggestion from the ufiid to start them.

To wtreiiKthen thla theory It will be polntr-d how rtrklestily and foolishly the murderers acted In riding up In car with numbers showing In front and reur and no scheme of escape planned. It will be nrifued that. If a mun of Becker's lntclltr, new trtermlnd to commit a crime he would never trust to such Ih-Ktruments nnd would never be a party to a crudely executed crime In which detection was certain to follow." Whitman' Answer. When this soliemo of defense was laid before District Attorney Whltmnn last night he admitted that he had learned that such a course had been planned by Becker's counsel. In consequence detectives for the District Attorney have been getting up a complete history of the relations of Becker with Jack Rose and the others connected with the murder ot Rosenthal.

Testimony bearing uoon this point win be Introduced ct the trial by a long list of witnesses whose names liuve not been made public. Kvery step of Becker'a career Hince he wa nut In charge of the Strong-Arm Snu'id lius been traced, and witnesses will he produced. It la promised, to show that Becker was identified with every crime committed by Hone, hla fel-low-gamblera. and their email standing army of gunmen. Whitman has witnesses to swear that Becker rot his share, not only from the blackmail collected from gambling house proprietors, but that he exacted tribute whenever a winning gambler was held up and relieved of his money.

By showing how Inseparable were Becker and Rose and how their division of spoils was to every crime In which Rose or any of his men wers connected, the District Attorney expects to make the testimony of the defense against Rose and other implicated In the murder count with equal weight against Becker. When the defense has shown that th league of gamblers and gunmen had ground sufficient in their estimation for killing Rosenthal, th prosecution will produce its new witnesses to prove that Becker was their ringleader and had freater reaaon than any of them for ringing about Rosenthal's death. How hard a fight Becker's counsel will make next Thursday for further delay Is a question. Attorney John W. Hart said last night that the attitude of the defense remained what It waa when the leading counsel, John F.

Mclntyre, Issued the statement that the public mind waa Inflamed against Becker, and that he could not receive a fair trial until the excitement had died down. Among- lawyers who have followed the case cloxely it wea said yesterday that while Mr. Mclntyre will probably be ready to proceed, he will nevertheless repeat his strenuous objections. The strategic advantage which might be gained for the defense by proceeding under protest would be that foundation would be laid for an appeal, should Becker be found guilty, on the ground that conviction waa due to the prejudiced state of the publle mind. CALL SINGER AS WITNESS.

Woman Says She Saw Autos Leave After Murder from Her HoteL Special Ta AVar York Timm. MTDDLETOWN, N. Sept Attorney Whitman believes be haa discovered a very important witness in th Rosenthal murder case In Miss Laura Davis, a singer, who -haa been appearing at a theatre near this city since th day after th murder. Detective Stewart cam her to-day and served a subpoena on Mis Davla, demanding her presence In New Tork on fiept 12. It waa not known wher Miss Davis was, and detectives war ant Saturday to Mlddletown, MeadfUle, and Chicago, to look for her.

Detective Stewart found that Miss Davis was to have left for Chicago to-morrow. Miss Davis tells the following atory: I had not been feeling well for sev-eral day, and when I went to the Cadillac Hotel on the night of the Rosenthal murder I waa very nervous. It was about 11:40 o'clock when I went Into th hotel. I noticed a stranger sitting at th entrance when I went In. On going to my room on th fourth floor I tried to read for a while.
