From our sanctum window one
day last week we noticed our old
friend, Mr J P Shaw, sitting on one
1 of the public benches in the court
house yard enjoying, as many others
are wont to do.tne shade of the trees
and the cool, refreshing breezes that
are most always prevalent there.
His face was wreathed in smiles,and
apparently he was the center of interest
to the little band of men seated
on the bench with him. He was
engaged in animated conversction.
Was he talking politics? No, he has
political views, and, like his religion,
they are all right, but he is not a
harping politician. On this occasion
he was only telling his companions
about the bumper corn coor
he expects to harvest, the acres oi
peanuts he has planted for his hogs
Death of Rev. S. T. Russell.

69 years, 11 months and 27 days.

and a member of Bloomingvale Bap'
tist church.
A pall of sadness fell upon our
hearts when the news went forth of
his death. It can truly be said of"
' him, his was a well earned rest. He
| j lived for others, bearing their bur[
dens, scattering sunshine along his
i" way. For him to live was Christ, to
die was gain. He lived close to Jesus
, and pointed others to Him. His face
was an inspiration, his presence a1
benediction, his manner a stimulus;

them. He was always loyal to the
[ churches of which he was pastor.
. The hospitality of his home was
i known far anil wide. He was loved j
and esteemed bv a large circle of
' friends. He cared for and reared in j
' his family several orphan children, j
He was for 40 years a faithful:
' minister of the Gospel,till two years'
. before his death he became disabled
! from serving as pastor, but at
' times he was able to go about and

' In 1879 he moved from Berkeley

He was laid to rest Saturday, 3d

Request of County Chairman.
Editor County Record:
From time to time we read in the
public prints of unpleasant episodes
and disgraceful scenes which mark
and mar many county campaign
meetings throughout our State. This
is the result of forcing State political
issues into county politics. This
is not as it should be and our best
citizenship condemns such procedure.
State politics should not be
made an issue in our county campaign
and any candidate who bases
his candidacy on these issues and not j
on his qualifications to fill the office
and his own home record should be :
dismissed tn the first primary,
i In view of the conditions outlined 1
we make request of our county
chairman that he call a meeting of!
all the candidates of our county, on
, or before the morning of the 14th
: and that all candidates be requested
to pledge themselves to answer no 1
questions on the stump as to State I
political issues.

BECKER IN COLLECTING GRAFT.
New York. August <?: ? "Bald
Jack" Rose, the gambler, ujx?n
whose testimony was chiefly based
the indictment of Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker on the charge of instigating
the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, today furnished District
Attorney Whitman with a written
statement, disclosing in detail the
history of hi> relations with Becker

graft collectors.
Rose in his "confession,''as the
District attorney terms it, gives a
complete tahle of hisi'eollections
from gamblers which he says he
turned over to Becker.
These collections,according to the
"confession,'' averaged from 812,(KK)
to 81">,lMM) a month, and came
from a dozen or inure gambling
houses. The names of about t*n
of them Rose gave to the District
Attorney.
Becker, the se'f-acciised gambler
wrote, was continually hounding
him for more money, telling him
that "the BuncJU'down there 'isn't
getting enough."
Rose's statement was several
In UK-mil words long. The gambler
ha<l Ik'oii working on it in his cell
over since, on the promise of leniency,
District Attorney .Whitman
got him a week ago'to make his
first confession.
Decker's method of bringingjthe
gamblers to terms was to raid them
first, Hose -aid. This was the officers
way, he explained, of "getting
acquainted."
After the raid he would offer to
"fix" the case liefore the grand
jury, Hose charged, provided the
unfortunate gambler would "come
across." To further impress the

I H-scrming i is own reiaiions wun

! his acquaintance hcgan when Beck|
er raided his gambling house in
' East side. Rose said he then i>eeame
a "stool pigeon" for Becker
in his raiding activities and later
his collector.
Rose substantiated all that Rosen- J
thai had charged as to Becker being
his partner in the Rosenthal gam-:
bling house. He asserted that
Becker got 32 1-2 per cent, of the I
play,20 per cent on his own account
and one-half of Rose's share, which j
was 2"> per cent.
In addition to Rose's statement j
the district attorney, it was learn- ;
ed tonight, obtained telephonic rec-1
ords substantiating Rose's statement j
that a few minutes after the murder i
of Rosenthal Rose called Becker onj
the telephone and asked him to j
come down town at once and that,

Becker several times that day,
Becker saw newspaper men in his!
cell today when he was asked if it;
was true that the "system" was
collecting a 3oO,0(X) fund to defend
him.
He replied: "I have engaged John
F Molntyre to conduct my case by
advise of my counsell,John,\V Hart
Xo system will suggest my counsel.
I am master of my own case.
The search of Iwth the police and
district attorney's detectives jfor
"Gyp the Bl?X)d" and "Lefty

murder, has thus far proved
fruitless.
