WAR IS SAID TO BE GENERAL
NEW YORK, Oct 17, William Travers
Jerome, former district attorney of New
York, may be called as a witness for the
defense in the trial of Police lieutenant
Becker, charged with the murder of
Gambler Rosenthal, it was said today.
The state had only a few remaining wit
nesses to call when the trial was resumed.
John F. Mclntyre, chief cousel for
Becker, would neither confirm nor deny
the report that the defense might require
Jerome's appearance to refute Jack Rose's
testimony concerning his (Rose's) last
telephone conversation with Becker after
the murder. ' ?
Rose in telling of this conversation
quoted Becker as having guilty knowl
edge of the murder. Jerome, it was said,
having been present at the Bar associa
tion with John W. Hart of counsel for
Becker, will say- that Becker did the
telephoning there and said nothing to
indicate sny connection with the murder.
Rose swore alBo that Becker telephoned
from a public pay station.
The defense will also try to show that
the state seeks to sacrifice Becker and
I:t the Informers go free and that, as a
matter of fact Rosenthal was the victim
of a gamblers' conspiracy.
Mrs. William Rosenberg, wife of "Lefty
Louie," one of the four gunmen charged
with -.shooting Herman Rosenthal to
death, was a witness for the state. Her
testimony was corroborative of a por
tion of the story told by "Bald Jack."
Not Testifying- to Help II unhand.
Mrs. Rosenberg said that Rose had
come with Sam Schepps to her home
May 12 to see Louie about helping- to got
ball for Jack Zelig, the gang leader killed
the ''other day, who had Just been ar
rested on a charge of carrying con
cealed weapons. -
"Louis was sick in bed," she declared,
"and Schepps and Rose went into his
Lroom and talked twenty minutes with
him. They talked about Zelig.
Mrs. Rosenberg added, on cross-examination,
that she was not testifying to
help her husband or with the hope of hi
receiving leniency. . ,
"Lefty" she said, knew that she would
take the stand, for she had written him
she would. .
The blonde-haired wife of the gunman
was one of. several witnesses who corrob
orated portions of Rose's story. . ,
. Two. telephone operators, one at a pub
lic station, the other at the apartment
house where Becker lived, testified that
Becker received a call in the early morn
ing" hours of the day of the murder. ,

MEXICO CITY, Oct 17.-A, crisis has

Doubts as to the specific object of the
Diaz revolt were removed when he was
prorlatmed provisional president by
Colonel Jose Dias, his cousin and com
mander of the Twenty-first Infantry sta

So far advanced are the plans of Dias
and his supporters that they ' are said
to have already selected a provisional
cabinet. Among those .composing It is
General Bernardo Reyes, who Is now In

Servian and Bulgarians Heady ' to
"J Meet the Advancing- Turks.
! LONDON, Oct 17. War today became
ffeners.1 throughout the Balkan Deninsula.
Turkey,- which for a week "or more has
been fighting with Montenegro, this morn
ing issued a formal declaration of hos
tilities against Servia and Bulgaria '
Greece was not "mentioned in the official
document delivered to the Servian and
Bulgarian legations at Constantinople and
the .Greek minister has not been asked
to leave the Turkish capital, as were his
Servian and Bulgarian colleagues. The
Turkish minister, however, left Athene
vithout the usual formalities, rignung
between the Turkish and Greek armies
has 'begun on the frontier.
Turkey's withdrawal of its troops from
the immediate vicinity , of the Greek
frontier and the emission of Greece from
the declaration of war were doubtless
dictated by Kiamil Pasha, president of
the council of state, real head of the
Turkish government. He has been de
sirous all along of avoiding a fight with
Greece, whose interests, as he recently
told the Greek premier, are identical with
those of Turky.
In Its declaration of war, Turkey places
the blame en Bulgaria and Servia.
- Although Turkey has anticipated the
Balkan states and ordered a simultaneous
tdvance of its army against Bulgaria

' You shouild conduct the strike by

that some part of the army ordered

south, and at once Joined the rebels.

The total cutting off of Dias from com
munication will depend on the loyalty of
the gunboats, which is not considered
likely to be maintained. Some of the men
manning the gunboats Bravo and Tarn
Pico landed yesterday at Vera Crus and
offered their services to the rebel leader.
Commodore Asueta, howver, refused to
Join the movement and hayS the guns of
his boats trained. on thelty.,
Diaz, who escaped the vigilance of the
government detectives Sunday night, ap
peared in Jalapa, the capital of the state
of Vera Crux, Tuesday, but. his presence
was not discovered until he was on his
way to Vera Crus with J00 men. At
the same- time' Colonel Jose Dias Ordas
of the Twenty-first ..Inantry, was on bis
way from Orzaba with seven -num of his
regiment Together Dias and Ordas en
tered Vera Crus at daybreak yesterday.
The Twenty-first infantry was In bar
racks there and a proposition ti Join the
rebellion was submitted to the. officers
and men. It was accepted by practically
the entire personnel of the regiment but
the Nineteenth infantry regiment also
stationed there,: rejected the proposition
and was at once surrounded by the dis
loyal troops.. .
Colonel Gulterrez, commanding , the
Nineteenth, notified the government of
his loyalty and received orders tp fight
but the rebels numbered nearly 600 while
the Nineteenth was only 45o strong, and
soon Joined the rebel without a fight
This placed in the. hands of Diaz not only
all the- troops ln Vera Cruz, but six
elghty-mllimetre guns and an abundance
of ammunition. , 1

bank's report:
Where' w use the term normal as to

that we will produce this year about 98
per cent of a normal drop',", or a "yield for
the state of about 175,000.000 bushels

"The average yield of oats for the state

Chairman Clapp placed In the record a
copy of the bank account for the repub

in the last few days of October; $36,000
October 27; $100,000 October 28 and $106,000
October 21. This was about the time the
so-cslled Harriman fund was'collacted.
George B. Cortelyou, chairmen-of the
notional committee in 1904 - was ques
tioned about . John D. Archbold's testi
mony that the Standard Oil company con
tributed $100,000 to the republican fund
that. year. Cortelyou said the question
j had been brought to his attention by let
ters and telegrams from President Roose
velt In the last day of the campaign of
19C4. When he spoke to Treasurer Bliss
about it, the latter had said there had
been no such contributions. ,
- Thooa-ht Caae Covered.
Cortelyou said that he had not thought
it necessary to go to Bliss with further
telegrams from the president Inquiring
about the Standard Oil ctributlona be
cause he supposed that Bliss' original
statement covered the case. .
"I told the president just what Bliss
told me," he said.
Coreelyou could not remember Bliss
having arranged for him to meet some
of the Standard Oil people. He said he
never had asked J. P. Morgan for any
contributions for any purpose. V ' '
Cortelyou said he knew little of the so
called Harriman fund, but Insisted it was
raised entirely for the New York state
committee. He denied that early In the
1004 campaign he had promised B. B
Odell. Jr.,,$300,000.,for the.etate-.campaign
Cortelyou denied he had ordered the
books of the 1904 campaign destroyed ot
that any gathering or committee of New
York ; financiers was formed to under
write the republican campaign. He dis
agreed with, George R. Sheldon's estimate
that '71 per' cent of the 1905 republican
fun4 was contributed by corporations and
declared the bulk of the fund was given
by larg Individual contributors. . a.
