HIGHEST COURT IN
NEW YORK RULES
BECKER MUST DIE
Appeals Tribunal Upholds Second
Conviction of Ex-Police Lieu
tenant for Murder of
Rosenthal.
JUST TWO WAYS TO ESCAPE
Can Beat Death Chair Only by Ob
taining Mercy from Whitman or
Supreme Brnch Action.
EXECUTION DATE RESIT TODAY
AT.TtANT, N. T.. Mnv ;r The eend
conviction of former Poll T.tcutennnt
Charles Reckcr for Instigating the mur
der of Herman Rosenthal, the New York
(rambler, wan upheld today hy the court
of appeals. Pecker now must di" unless
he ran obtain clemency from Governor
Whitman, who as district attorney of
New York, prosecuted him, or the United
States supreme cours interfere with
habeas corpus writ or otherwise.
The chief Judge, Wlllard Bartlett,
wrote- the prevailing opinion nnd Judges
Hiscock, Thane, t'ollln, Cnddeback and
Cardozo concurred. Judge Ilocan dis
sented. Judge Samuel S. Eabury. who is
a supreme court justice, presided at
Becker's trial, but did not sit on the rase
In the higher court.
Second Judgment Mnnds.
Judge Bartlett held that although the
first Judgment of death against the de
fendant was reversed because he did not
have a fair trial, the second Judgment
"is not assailable on that ground."
'Extensive as Is the power of review
vested In this court on a Judgment of
death, the law does not intend to sub
stitute the conclusions of fact which may
be drawn by seven Judges for the con
clusions of fact which have been drawn
from the evidence by twelve Jurors, un
less we are clear that the view of the
facts taken by the Jury Is wrong. It Is
our duty to affirm if the trial was fair
end without legal error and the verdict
was not against the weight of Justice.
We are to ace to it that the trial was
fair and that there waa sufficient evi
dence with recognized rules of law to
support the verdict; this done, the re
sponsibility for the result rests with the
Jurors. Guiding our action by these e
tabllshed principles of criminal procedure
In capital cases we do not feet Justified
In Interfering with the verdict"
Date Will Be Reset Soon.
The date for the execution will be re
set soon, probably tomorrow. It usually
is dated about five weeks from the time
a decision U rendered, so it la likely that
Jwns&JcUor July 1 will be choseu.
Lieutenant Governor Bcboeneck will act
as governor between tomorrow and June
11, but there Is no likelihood of his exer
cising executive clemency during that per
iod, especially In this case.
The opinion said that the testimony of
"Brldgle" Webber and "Bald Jack" Rose
regarding the so-called "Harlem confer
ence" at which the murder of Rosenthal
was said to hav been planned was true,
and that it was corroborated on the sec
ond trial by James Marshall, a negro.
The testimony of Deputy Police Com
missioner George A. Dougherty am
Charles B. PUtt. commonly known as
"Becker's press agent," also was held
to be true.

Reaches Proportions of a Tornado in
Garden County, Where Consid
erable Damage is Done.
SOME LIVE STOCK IS KILLED
According to Tuesday reports to
the Union Pacific and Burlington
railroad headquarters, a tornado of
considerable severity passed over
portions of Scott's Bluff, Morrill and
Garden counties, In the west part of
the state, Monday afternoon.
Reports Indicate that three miles
north of Oshtosh, in Cardan county,
Farmer Blair was killed when his
house was wrecked by the storm.
From Bridgeport, Mrs. Groves, wife of
one of the ditch riders, sustained a

who resided in the path of the storm
that ranged from a f w rods to half a
mile In width were injured, most of them
slightly.
Railroad telegraph wires Into the storm
stricken area are working badly and It
has been Impossible to secure any con
nected report of the damage wrought or
the full extent of the storm. The early
reports Indicate that the Btorm waa In

and a severe straight wind in others.
Wind Follows.
The wind followed a rain that had con
tinued most of the afternoon. Apparently
It started a couple of miles north of
Bridgeport and moved southeast on the
north sido of the Platte river and most
of the way through a rather sparsely set
tled country. Coming down In the vicinity
of Mlnature, north of the town a num
ber of farm houses and barns were de
stroyed, and from there, nothing seems
to have been heard of it until it reached
a point throe miles north of Oskosh, the
county seat of Garden county. At that
point the storm had taken on the char
acteristics of a tornado and was moving
southeast with great rapidity. In the
neighborhood lived Blair, the man re
ported killed.
In the country north of Oskosh reports
Indicate that several houses and a large
number of barns were destroyed. Crops
were damaged and considerable live stock
killed.
Aftor leaving the section of country In
the vicinity of Oskosh the storm appar
ently passed into the bandhlllH of Mo
I'herson county, where all trace of it was
lost

others. Everything on the Blair plac-w
was completely destroyed. Blair's dog
woke up neiKlibors a mile away, who
went over and found the buildings gone
and no trace of Blair. More of the neigh

some time they found the body lying in
a pasture over half a mile east. 1: very

it occupied today to extend its trade by

This conference was declared by the

GUN WAS THOUGHT TO BE EMPTY
Differences of sympathy and opin
ion concerning the European war,
expressed by himself and his father-in-law
during an argument, almost
cost Frank Raddats of Snyder, Neb.,
his life. He is now at St. Joseph
hospital with five holes In his In
testines from a bullet fired acci
dentally by the father-in-law, John
Bilava.
"Which side of the war are you on?"
Bilava Is said to have asked Raddatz,
when the former came to the son-in-law's
farm near Snyder and started to talk of
the war.
Wlahea It una I an to Win.
"I hopo the Russians will win." Rad
datz replied, whereupon the older man
upbraided KadUatz for holding such a
hope. Tht Germans are lite best sol
diers. I wan in the kaiser's army once
myself, fee how good 1 can drill yet."
The old man seized a Mauser rifle
standing near by and (mouldering it.
marched around to show off his military
skill. Then he raised It to simulate fir
ing, pointed it toward Knddatz and pulled
the trU'Kcr, not knowing that the gun
was loaded A bullet pierced the left
sldi' of the son-in-law's abdomen, making
a serious wound.
Flttddatz was rushed to Omaha by his

WASHINGTON. May 25. Toklo
dispatches to the Japanese embassy
fay that at 3 p. m., May 2 5, two
treaties covering the negotiations
concerning the Shantung peninsula
and Manchuria and Mongolia were
signed and exchanged between Japan
and China, with a note concerning
other question?. No intimation of
the contents of the note Is contained
in the dispatches.
Under the term of the new treaty im
portant concessions are granted by China
to Japan. These concessions were made
r.s a result of negotiations extending
over several months following the pre
sentation by Japan of a list of twenty,
ono demands. On May 7 Japan sent an
ultimatum to China, at the same time
waiving temporarily some of the Impor
tant demands. China at one agreed to
comply with the terms of the ultimatum.
The concessions granted to Japan have
to do largely with Industrial operations

roads and mines. China also engages not
to cedo or lease to any third power terri
tory in specified d'strlcts. Japan Is to

The Italian ministry of marine ha
given out an announcement, which
reads:
"A steamer arriving at Bartetta
reports that while passing near the

last night It sighted an Austrian war
ship with a heavy list. It was es
corted by four torpedo boats.

LONDON, May 35. Active mili
tary and naval operations are now
under way between Austria-Hungary
and Italy, but land forces of any
great strength have not as yet come
into contact. Air and naval raids
of a minor character form the sum
total of the first twenty-four hours
of warfare between the former allies
In the triple alliance.
It ia generally understood that
Italy has arrived at an agreement
with Its new allies under the terms
of which it will sign the existing
treaty not to conclude a separate
peace.
On tha eastern frontier, the signs of a
check to what at one time seemed an
overwhelming Austne-OermHn offensive
movement, ate becoming more and more
apparent. The flying wedge, which was
driven Into the Russian center along the
San river, hsa been compelled to give
ground by the energetic counter attacks
of the ItusnUns.
In the west General French reports'
that the Germans by the use of
asphyxiating gases, succeeded In pene

but ha claims that some of the trenches
lost as a raault of those tactics ware '
regained In the subsequent fighting. Tho
contest la still raging.
Domestlo politics continue to nbsorbt
attention in England, but there Is delay
In attaining definite results and th
membership of the new cabinet has not
aa yet been announced. This delay, ac
cording to the Manchester Guardian, a
ministerialist organ. Is due to th In
sistence by the unionists on eight places
In th cabinet aa representing their
numerical strength In th House of Com
mons. A clean sweep is looked for In the ad
miralty, where it Is expected that Baron
Fisher, as well as Winston Spencer
