Phone Main 9400 BECKER NEXT ATE stacked the cards on Becker The trial judge in his case was elevated to the court of appeals, which denied his petition, and now his last hope lies in the clemency of a governor, who, while district attorney, convicted him. A raw deal by luck, perhaps, but it looks more like retribution, Becker, as a police officer, was merciless. He was an advocate of the infamous third degree system and an expressed believer in capital punishment. He has always demanded that the law exact its full pound of flesh—a life for a life, no more or less. In cold blood and with calm deliberation he plotted the death of the gambler Rosenthal. He took his chances against the law as all criminals do, only he had the temerity to attempt to make that law his shield. His crime came home, as, crime generally does. UP TO CARRANZA HE Mexican situation to date is thus: The Villa-Zapata faction offers to get to- gether with the Carranzaists and work out a plan sooner or later, STAR—WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1915. PAGE 4, THE FRIGHTFUL TOLL HE war in Europe is nearly one year old. Let's pause and reckon the cost, not in dollars and cents, for that is too stupendous a task, nor in suf- fering, for that also is beyond computation, But we may reckon the total, with consider- able. accuracy, of those heart-rending . bulletins which all the belligerents issue with sickening regu- larity—the lists of “dead or missing.” England has issued an official list to May 31, showing her losses at 264,478 men, practically one- third of all the forces she has had engaged. The figures, tho enormous, are insignificant compared with the whole, The following are estimates based on fairly reliable information, They include killed and missing—captives, and wounded, all that have been incapacitated for duty: Great Britain Germany France of course, but Italy, Belgium, Turkey, etc. the war began. Thus, in less than 25 per cent of all were incapacitated. Truly, war, as it is fought frightful toll. 12 months, today, exacts a A PROUD RECORD — LEVEN members of the house of representatives from King county signed the argument against the referendum on the port bill. On the otficial records at Olympia it is stated that the argument is theirs. In so doing, liars as well county, Their treachery has been recorded in their votes for the iniquitous port bill. And now they add a lie to that shameful record. For the argu- ment against the referendum was prepared and filed at the request of the “dock owners’ trust” of Seattle, The “dock owners’ trust,” seeking to cripple the right of the people to control their own water front, didn’t have the courage to stand sponsor for the fight against the referendum on the port bill. So they got 11 boot-licking legislators whom they owned to do the “dirty work” for them. AND THESE 11 WERE SUPPOSED TO these 11 branded themselves as traitors to the best interests of the EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE SEATTLE STAR By mail, months, 81 month.
