At the time the polls opened no pro- vision had been made for voting for no-license, as no ballots were on hand. Those behind the no-license movement helleved that the town clerlk would have the ballots, but it is not his duty to do so. Those ints ted mhist see to that. J. D.

Chinadega is the capital of the de- partment of the same name, lying about 24 miles northwest of Leon. Both towns have been in the hands of the Insurgents for weeks past and the residents of both places have suffered much distress. Rebels Forced to Evacuate. According to the advices received here, a large detachment of marines and bluejackets, under Lieut.-Colonel Long, proceeded from Corinto to three points on the National railroad, Shi- nandega, to the morthwest, Leon to the southeast and Chichigalpa, almost midway between. Chichigalpa was the scene of an engagement on Friday, while the rebels were forced to evac- uate the two other towns the follow- ing day. Details of the fighting have not been learned.

T.—Charles Becker, the police lieutenant who was in com- mand of the “strong arm” squaq of police gambling raiders, was placed on trial today for the murder of Her- man Rosenthal, the gambler who was alleged to have betrayed “the sys- tem.” Out of 14 men examined from the special panel of 250 talesmen called for jury duty, only one juror had been chosen when' the day’s session closed tonight. He was Harold B. Skinner, an electrical engineer, son of Charles R. Skinner, former superintendent of instruction 'in New York state. Becker Directs Challenges. Of the other thirteen talesmen, three were peremptorily challenged by the state and four by the defense, Becker himself instructing his counsel, John F.

In nearly every instance talesmen acknowledged that they formed an oplnion on the case from reading the newspapers and those who were disqualified declared that the opinion would influence thelr verdict. Becker Has Lost Weight. That Becker had lost weight as his result of his two months' conflnement was apparent to those who knew him. That he was mentally alert, however, became apparent from.the manner in which he studied each talesman as he took the stand. Frequently he would signal his counsel for a conference while counsel was in the midst of vol- leying questions.
