New York. May District Attorney Whitman and Martin T. Manton out of the city for rest, and Charles BecKer under Instructions to be silent, few developments were brought out In the case today. Becker spent a quiet and restful night in the Tombs, and to all outward appearance Is as calm as he' was when the jury in the criminal 'branch of the supreme court on Friday found him guilty of instigating; the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the crime for which the four gunmen paid the death penalty. Becker is urging his counsel to expedite his appeal to the court of appeals to set aside the verdict.

He hopes that his appeal will be brought before the higher court before the end ol the year, because If he loses his application for another trial, the convicted man wants to be sure that Gov. Glynn Is In Albany, for executive clemency will then be his last chance for life. Becker looks far ahead, and Wants to be sure that District Attorney Whitman does not occupy the governor's chair should he be forced to appeal for clemency. Manton to Appeal Soon. Before leaving for a rest, Martin T.

Manton, chief counsel for the defense, said: "I am tired and expect to take a brief rest, but I am going to press the appeal promptly and vigorously. Our record will not show anything L.600 exceptions which were noted In the nrst trial, but we shall have a ground for argument to the court of appeals on every exception we have taken In this trial as a denial of right to Becker. The charge of the jury will be the principal subject of our appeal." A recent statute has removed the necessity for agreement of both sides to a narrative of the incidents connected with the crime charged, so that Becker's chance for quickly getting his appeal to the higher court are enhanced. Now the minutes made at the trial by the court stenographer will go directly to the court of appeals. Becker Holds a Conference.

The notes now in the possession of Mr. Whitman, which it Is alleged were sent by Becker to the gunmen when they were all in the death house at Sing Sing, cannot be used against Becker-unless he Is granted a third trial and takes the witness stand himself. The handwriting of these notes has been compared with Becker's by experts, but no Information concerning their report was given out by Mr. Whitman. Becker received his wife, his two brothers.

Lieut. John Becker and Jackson Becker, and his counsel, John B. Johnson, in the Tombs and talked over the future proceedings to be taken in his fight for life. To others who sought to sea him Becker sent word that he would not and could not say a word, that he thought silence the best policy, and that his attorneys had Instructed him not to talk of the case. Two Colored Women Charged With Raising a Disturbance.

HOT imiGLY TO STAY BEATS Haste Is Therefore Sought, So That if Court Action Is Adverse Police Lieutenant's Case Will Reach Gov.

Glynn Before He Quits Off ice--Prisoner Holds Conference in the Tombs. TKEDAY HIS UNLUCKY DAY. Becker Was First Convicted on Friday, October 13, 1913- From the New Yorlt Tribune. Charles Becker had just one hope Friday when the Jury left the courtroom at 12:60, to weigh his life and death on the scales that had been provided for them by judge, prosecution, and defense. That hope was that the Jury 'would be unable to agree within eleven hours and ten minutes.

By that time It would be Saturday, and his unlucky day would be gone for six days. While his apparent Indifference, born of an Iron will and nerve, has excited the wonder of all and the admiration of 'some, the former police czar has concealed from the world his superstition-that Friday is not his day. This became known when Sheriff Grifenhagen brought him back to the Tombs for his new trial. "Sheriff," Becker had said to him, "I'm glad you did not call for me on a Friday." The origin of this superstition is not known, but it Is on record that his first conviction occurred in the early minutes of Friday, October 13, 1313. He will be sentenced to death Friday.

0. METZEEOTT A CANDIDATE. Seeks Nomination for Congress From the Fifth Maryland District. Oliver Metzerott, of Prince Georges county, announced last night that he had decided to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress In the Fifth congressional district of Maryland. He says that he has been urged to enter the contest by Republicans, Progressives, and Democrats from every county and ward in the district Mr.

Metzerott has been twice elected to the "general assembly, and last fall was- his party's candidate for comptroller of the State. In that campaign he sacrificed himself for his party. He is a lifelong resident of Prince Georges county, has ever been an ardent advocate of the Initiative and referendum, the short ballot and other progressive measures, and supported Roosevelt in the presidential primary, but did not leave the Republican party. FELLED BY A COLORED THUB Woman Struck On the Head and Robbed of Pockctbook. Mrs.

Mallon, State Department Employe and Newspaper Writer, Attacked in Early On 'her way home early yesterday morning, Mrs. Winifred Mallon, 431 New Jersey avenue southeast, employed in the State Department and as a newspaper -writer, was attacked by a colored man. knocked to the pavement, and robbed of 'her purse containing about $6. She suffered a "bruised nose and a deep cut under the -left eye. The assailant fled, and the police have found no trace of "him.

Mrs. Mallon Is employed In a Chicago newspaper bureau and was returning from that office about 1 o'clock when, at New Jersey avenue and street northwest, she noticed a jnan following her. She was waking in the mlflde of the street, and suddenly was startled to find the man within a few feet of her. "What's the matter with you?" he asked, when, she "began to quicken her steps, and In another second he struck Mrs. Mallon In the back of the head, knocking her to the pavement.

She fell Her face against the curbing. After arriving summoned a SBOTS VICTIM CamorriBts' Gashes Found on Frank Chimera, Dead in His Barber Shop, Indicate Fate of Betrayer--Italian Merchant Shot Down in Street, Keeps Lips Sealed as Death Hovers Near. Bpooial to The Washington Post. New York, May with the peculiar gashes which Gpmorrists use as the signs of their vengeance and a warning of the fate In store for all.betrayers, Frank Chimera was 'found dead in his barber shop, at 307 Bast Ninety-fifth street, yesterday throat out and his body a mass of stab wounds. More Important still, in the eyes of the police, was the discovery less than an hour later, of a secret compartment in the shop filled with ali the Instruments and materials necessary for the manufacture of Improved bombs.

About to Divulge Secrets. After Aaaistaht District Attorney Murphy and some of the best of the city's detectives had spent the entire day on the case enough evidence had been discovered to show that Chimera was a member of one of the most powerful of the dread Italian secret societies, that he was on the point of revealing some of Its secrets, that he was killed to prevent this disclosure and for the further purpose of Stving notice to all Italians here that despite the efforts made both In Italy and this country to destroy Its power the organization was still able to Inflict Its own death penalty: The police are convinced that Chimera, if that be his real name, was a member In the inner councils of his own particular organization, and that he himself had taken prominent part In many of Us crimes. After the man's throat had been cut, gashes 4 inches long were silt from each end of the mouth to the corner of each ear. In the Italian murder societies these gashes tell as plainly as printed words the story of betrayal of the victim's organization by him. Besides these cuts, the slayers had satisfied their rage and hatred further by stabbing him nine times In the head and body.

Bomb Arsenal Is Unearthed. The secret compartment In the barber shop was discovered by Detectives Cousins, Ryan, and Meyers, and one glance at Its contents caused them to send a hurry call for Inspector Owen Egan, "bomb expert" of the department. With Mr. Murphy ha found In the compartment six sticks of dynamite, a number of fulminate of mercury caps, four electric fuses, rosin, copper wire, antimony, a large number of peculiar cartridges, a quantity of smokeless powder, some nitroglycerine, one dynamite bomb with an electrical exploding connection, and other materials used In the making of explosives. While the police were engaged on this murder, another Italian vendetta affair was reported to them In the attempted murder of Fortunato La Monti, who lived at 213 East 107th street.

"So They Got Him at Last." "So they got him at last," was the remark of the detectives when they heard this news, for it has been known to them that La Monti had many enemies: that his life had Ween attempted before, and that in time some one of these would probably put an end to it. La Monti's case presents none of the extremely Interesting or peculiar features that Chimera's does. Chimera was unknown practically to the neighborhood In which he lived. He had moved to his last address but a short time before. All that Is known of him Is that he had.

run a number of small barber shops In the district bounded by Ninety-fourtb and Ninety-seventh streets and First and Third avenues. In the last three or four CONFER ON THE WEST Murdock and Kellog?

Rifles to Church in an Ancient "Carry- Dislikes Autos--Holds Reception for the Villagers. years, which is the length of his residence In this country.

Indifferent About Business. In none of theso shops had business ever appeared to be good, nor did Chimera appear to care whether the number of his customers Increased or decreased. Ho- had the reputation of being a silent, secretive man, who did not care to mingle with his fellow countrymen In the little wine shops of "IJttle Italy" in the evenings. Samuel Sohe'n, a 10-year-old boy, walk- Ing down Ninety-fifth street, noticed a pool of blood in front of premises 307. He ran over to Policeman Boger and told him.

stopping to send In an ambulance call to the Inception Hospital, hurried over to the shop. The" door was locked, but he put his shoulder against it and smashed it in. Half-Obliterated Footprint. Chimera's bloody body was found lying In the middle of the one room of the shop. No traces of his murderers could be found, with the single exception of a halt- obliterated footprint in the blood near It.

There was no evidence of any struggle, which Is said to be convincing proof th'at more than one man Is guilty of the crime. It is believed that Detective DI Martini will be assigned to the mystery today. He is thp most experienced man at present on the force at this kind of work. Sought to Make Sure Job of It Fortunato La Monti is 31 years old, and in the hay and feed business. He was walking in East 108th street yesterday when a man rushed from a doorway and began shooting at him.

La Monti fell at the ffrat fire, but his assailant sought to make a sure job of it Stepping forward until he stood almost over the body of the fallen man, he sped two more bullets into his body. Another glanced and struck Mrs. Josephine Constanzo, of 161 Bast 107th street. Inflicting a. slight flesh wound.

La Monti was taken to Harlem Hospital, and when he recovered consciousness detectives at his bedside, waiting in the hope of getting an ante-mortem statement, urged him to tell them the name of his assailant. "My Business," His Reply. La Monti, with the semblance of a smile twisting the corners of his moutb, shook his head. "My business," he whispered. "I will attend to him If I live." At the hospital It was said that the chances were against his ever having the opportunity of "attending to him." Bodyguard Shot Year Ago.

It was just a year ago on Saturday that La Monti was last concerned in a shooting anair. Enemies were on his trail, and following it so strongly at that time that he hired a gunman for a. bodyguard. As he was driving up Fifth avenue near 108th street the bodyguard was shot and killed, and he himself escaped a like fate by whipping his horses and making away at top speed. He would never tell who he thought murdered his employe.

Detectives Olsen and Cassetti are work- Ing on this case. The police are sure there Is no connection between the two cases. One they regard as a plain feud affair; the other they believe would lead to the heart of the affairs of an Italian secret organization--perhaps the Camorra, perhaps the Mafia. Nothing has so stirred up Little Italy as the Chimera murder and its subsequent developments did yesterday since news of the murder of Lieut. PetrosinI years ago In Sicily reached It.

WAR WRITER IS DEAD De B. R. Keim, Who Chronicled Civil Strife, Was 73. NOTED FOE HIS ACCURACY Was One of Best Known Washington Correspondents for Many Years--Two of His Daughters Live Here--Made Tour of World for Grant, Inspecting U. S.

Consulates--Funeral Tomorrow. Oyster Bay, N. May leaders from the Western States' came to Oyster Bay today to confer with Col. Roosevelt regarding the coming campaign. Hitherto, since his return from South America, the former President has devoted his attention to the situation in the Bast, but today he went into political conditions beyond the Mississippi.

The Minnesota Progressives were represented by Frank B. Kellogg, of Minneapolis, who was known as the buster" of the Roosevelt administration. Representative Victor Murdock, of Kansas, told of the outlook in his State. Col. Roosevelt expects to a vigorous campaign this fall in both these States, during his transcontinental speaking tour.

George W. Perkins a Visitor. George W. Perkins, of New York, chairman of tne Progressive national committee's executive committee, made today his fourth visit to Sagamore Hiii since Col. Roosevelt's return to thla country.

Bourke Cockran, of New York, former representative, and William who was secretary, to the President, also saw Col. (Roosevelt. Tbe colonel went to church this morn- tag, coming down to the village with Mrs. Roosevelt in the family carriage, which was resurrected for the occasion. The colonel sold his automobile before he went to South America, and has not purchased another.

Likes Horse-Drawn Vehicles Best. He admits a strong prejudice in favor of a horse-drawn vehicle, and it was not un-, til recent years that he would use an i automobile. At the entrance to the private i road leading to his home still stands sign which reads "Automobiles forbidden." The first time that. Col. Roosevelt attends church after an absence from home Is always more or less of an event In Oyster Bay, and a crowd of villagers was on hand today to greet him.

He shook hands all around after the service, and then clambered Into the anoient vehicle and was drawn away at a sober Sunday trot by a horse which been in the family almost as Ions as the carry-all. Laughs at Governorship Reported. Roosevelt laughed when he read a newspaper report that he had changed his mind regarding the candidacy for the governorship of New York and might run on the Progressive ticket. He said the re- was absurd, and that he-had denied It twice before. "Doesn't this my tMrd denial Impress you!" he asked.

One of the last of the newspaper men who reported the battles of the civil war, De Benneville Randolph Keim, 73 years old, of 'Washington and Reading, died at the Walter Reed Hospital here yesterday. Mr. Keim was the correspondent at the front for the New York Herald throughout the war. He was a 'member of one of the oldest Pennsylvania families as well as a descendent of the distinguished Randolph family of Virginia. Figured in Grant's Selection.

Mr. Keim's dispatches during the civil war were notable for their original style, accuracy, and wealth of detail. It Is said that one of his dispatches, which described the methods of Gen. Grant and dealt with his ability as a commander, was one of the prime factors In bringing about Grant's selection as commander of the Union forces. When Grant became President he commissioned Mr.

Keim to inspect the United States consulates in every part of the world. At the 'outbreak of the war Mr. Keim organized a company of zouaves in Harrisburg, of which he was captain. He resigned before his company was ordered to the fronjt In order to report the war for the pressi Continued in Newspaper Work. Following the close of the war Mr.

Keim continued in newspaper work, becoming one of the foremost of the Washington correspondents. In 1872 Mr. Keim married Jane Sumner Owen, of Hartford, who died several years ago. There are two daughters of this 'union residing In Harrietts Keim and Mrs. Kutz, wife of Charles Kutz, of the army engineer corps.

These and Mrs. Kutz's three children are the only survivors. The funeral will be held in 'Reading, tomorrow afternoon.

Tocsin at Detroit Meeting. TOIIS TO BE CHIEF THEME Michigan Republicans, Holding Big "Get- Together" Meeting, Obtain Idado Senator for Principal Address--Repeal Deemed by Him Abject Surrender of Nation's Self-Respect 'Senator Borah, of Idaho, left Washington yesrterday for Detroit, where tomorrow afternoon he will address a "get- together" convention of the regular and progressive Republicans of Michigan. Ten days ago a delegation of representative regulars and progressives came to Washington and urged the Idaho senator to speak at this meeting. Senator William Alden Smith will be chairman, and the delegates chosen from, every county represent both wings of the party, Seek Party Reconciliation. All are anxious to get together as a single Republican party operating under a platform and supporting principles a will again put the Republicans in power throughout the country- Senator Borah, holding a middle ground between the extremes of ultraconservative regulars and radical progressives, was believed by the Michigan delegation that came to Washington to be the ideal man for the great speech that will be made In Detroit.

While nothing was known here of the character of the address he prepared It Is believed that he may take occasion to sound out the sentiment of the convention -on the tolls question. Great Issue of Campaign, Senator Borah believes this to be one of the great Issues that will come before the country in the next campaign, and he can scarcely avoid its discussion. His remarks during the Senate debate show that he considers It a great Issue not because of the mere question of tolls, or tolls exemption, but the effect the repeal will have upon the relations of this government with foreign powers by reason 'of what he holds is an abject and humiliating surrender of the self- respect of the nation. AVOID TOLLS ISSUES. CONTINUED FROM FIRST FACE.

Immediately leave the chamber to gossip in the cloakrooms or attend to business in their committee rooms, returning about the time a speech is concluded to Insist that somebody else go on. During the last week there was much criticism on the part of senators at what they declare IB the unfairness of the methods of the men who favor the President's policy. Says They Would Remain- One of the Influential members of the Senate referred to this matter in this way: "If there were a real desire to get at the truth and listen to arguments pro and con, senators who are with the President would remain in the chamber and let us question them in an effort to disclose the exact facts and get at the merits of the case. The manner of debating of Senators Root and Lodge is typical of the policy adopted In this debate. Early in the session Mr.

Lodge delivered his oration on the President's side, declining to be interrupted. Last week Senator Root spoke for flve hours, declining. In tbe same fashion, to be interrupted. Both. these senators, men of influence and ability, who ought to be able to take care of themselves in a cross-fire of debate, delivered their speeches--spoke, I may say, with the confidence of an oracle--ana then left the chamber.

"Many of their statements have since been attacked, much of their reassoning has been fallacious, and In some instances they have ignored real facts and failed to bring to the attention of the Senate legal opinions and court decisions of which they must have known. There never has been a moment when a question could be put to them personally or the accuracy of their statements or conclusions challenged. That, to my i is not debate. It Is the delivery of an essay that must stand unchallenged and undisputed. That character of debate is typical of the pronouncement of the president of a university who will not permit the Intrusion of a suggestion from any of his class, which is expected to accept his declarations as unassailable and unanswerable." Seven Speeches This Week.

This week will be prolific in discussion of this question. Today, on account of the death of Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, the Senate will at onca adjourn out of respect to his memory. For the remaining five working days of the week seven speeches have been announced. Four of these win be against repeal and three for repeal. Senator Jones, of Washington, was to have spoken against repeal today, but will take the floor tomorrow.

Senator Simmons, who has been the active manager on behalf of the President, bu who has been absent on account of illness, will speak during the week, although the definite date has not ibeen announced. Wednesday, Senator Sterling, of South Dakota, Republican, will give the reasons why he expects to vote for repeal. The- South Dakota senator comes from a State that Is dominated by the politics of the Hill railroads, so it is expected that much of his speech will be devoted to consideration of the railroad phase of case.
