That rigorous opposition to the .proposed merger of Washington, Maryland, and Virginia public utlll ties Is to be made by certain officers ' of, some of the companies lnrolved in the merger plan, was made plain today -when It was learned on good - authority that some of the 'officers and directors of the Arlington Light Company, and the Alexandria County Lighting Company, are prepared to file Injunction proceedings in the Virginia courts to prevent the ab sorption of the Arlington Company.

They set forth that consum ers In the territory of the Arlington Company, which has a smalt plant and fair distribution cost, are charged but 7 cents a kilowatt for lighting current, while city users, drawing from a big plant, have to pay 10, and that this higher charge would be made generally affeoUve as the uniform price by tbe holding company. Would Trade Stock, They call attention to the fact that under the merger agreement each share of the stock of the Arlington company, a small company, whose gross craftings are but $300 a month, is to be traded In for three shares of the Maryland and Virginia Company stock, of a par value or iw eacn, tnereoy to an interns ana purposes, tripling- the capitalisation of the smalt company, by having a three times larger equivalent lor us capital.

PROGRESSIVE CAUSE IS PUT UP TO SENATOR LA FOLLETTE OSHK0SK, "Wis., Oct. 12. Beginning Mb tour of Wisconsin with a groat speech hero last night, Colonel Boosevelt was greeted by ono of the moat remarkable au diences of his trip. Ten thousand people were packed in side a huge commercial warehouse, and more thousands outside. It was raining torrents, and, when tho Progres sive leader entered, tho drenched multitude was singing: ''Onward, Christian Boldlera," to the accompaniment of crashing thunder and. terrific lightning outside. The song was suspended while mighty cheera testified that this, the first audience in La Follette'a State, was in complete sympathy with the crusading leader of the fight for social JusUoe and real reforms. ' APPEALS TO ALL PROGRESSIVES. Colonel Roosevelt talked two hours, making the longest Progressive address of hie trip. It waB an appeal to the Progressives of 'an original Progressive State to stand by the and to rise above thought of personal or factional feelings in order to remain true to their traditions and convictions. Frankly and candidly, he talked of his rotations wltK La Follette, who la now opposing him. He denied vigorous ly that he had opposed the admittance of the La Follette delegation to the na tional convention of 1904. and to sus tain his statement read a inter he had written to National Chairman Cortelyou. touching on this very Inci Col Roosevelt i r ! -Noted'Speech of His Tour "My friends, I have a peoullar feeling about coming here to Wisconsin. Wis consin has for many years taken a lead ing part In Progressiva principles. Cali fornia, Oregon, and one or two other States have also occupied leading places In tho great Progressive movement. Now, at last, wo have been ablo to make it a national, a universal and not merely a local and sporadlo movement. And now, friends, we have a right to look, to you men and women of Wis consin to take a leading part In the effort to secure the triumph of this na tional movement. Praties Platform. "I hold In my hands the Progressive platform. I shall read two of Its planks to you, the plank setting forth the right of the people to rule and the plank dealing with social and Indus trial Justice." Here the colonel read the paragraphs referred to. He continued: "Now, friends, you have listened to those planks; they contain substantial ly what you Progressives In Wisconsin have for years been struggling for.

DEATH PLOT WAS HATCHED IN TOMBS Self-Confessed Graft Collector Says Defendant Wanted Rosen thal "Croaked.'' NEW YORK, Oct 12,-In many respects the most remarkable tale ot murder ever heard In a court room waa unfurled before Justice Ooff and a Jury here today. "Bald Jack" Rose, chief witness lor the State against Cbarlea Becker, accused of the mur der ot Herman Rosenthal, calmly told, in the minutest detail bow the accused policeman had pronounced the death sentence on Rosenthal and ho, alleged that It was executed. "Becker said Rosenthal would make squealers out of' others; hie killing would act as a warning to any future squealers, and so waa killed by the men Becker forced me to hire," said Rose. Tells Story of Murder. Nervous snd excited at the commence ment or the day's ordeal. Rose quickly gained full possession of his nerve, and he told his story of murder as calmly as he might have sat In the lookout's chair In his pwn gambling house. HI answer's came' quickly, and, as he' told how the plot to murder Rosenthal 'TO the very heart' of the. wmtv"llsbt dhrtrlct T w !TrVlrAv to its culmlna tlon, with -ne'nthal , wlln" -Tlanthal .' Wins dead In the street In front ot the MstretMle, '"l every sound In tbe court room waa hushed, and Judge, Jury, and spectators hung on'every word "of (he accuser. Hose flatly charged that .Becker, at all times, from the moment he and Rosenthal broke, following his raid on the gambling house In which the police man waa a silent partner. Insisted Rosenthal must be killed. He declared, when he offered to have Rosenthal beaten to close his mouth, Becker would have none of It demanding death or nothing, and also saying that the polio would give a medal to the man who "croaked" the "squealer." Killing Plotted in Tombs. Een In the Tombs Itself murder was Plotted, Roae said, telling of his trip to that prison In an effort to get Jack Zellg's gunmen to do the actual killing. Rom said he did not see the actual killing. He took the gunmen to Brldgle Webber's gambling house, and waited there while they murdered tbe gambler. As soon as he got the word that Rosenthal was dead he went to the (Times square station and phoned Beck er. DUl me umccr wircckujr uu iuq ,w. of the killing. Afterward. Becker met Rose and Mallon at Second avenue and Forty-eecond street and told them to keo their nerve, that It would be all He 'said Becker told htm he had been to the station house and that Whit man wan nn thn 1oh. that the automo bile numbers had been given-wrong and that there would be .nothing doing. Called It "Pleasant Job." Describing Becker's attitude when they- met after the murder, Rose said, when he asked Becker whether he had seen the body, the police lieutenant re plied: "Yes, and. a pleasant Job It was, too. If It hadn't been for the presence of the district attorney, I would have leaned over and Jerked his heart out" Rose said he first met Becker In Au gust. 1911, when the accused officer, as head of the "atrone- arm squad," raided his sjambllng house at 165 Second avenue. In Essex Market court, ho entered Into conversation with the lieu tenant over tho question of unserved warrants and they finally became chummy. Soon afterward, he said, he agreed to act for Becker. The next time that Becker and Rosen, that met according to Rose, wss at the Elks' Club, on New Year night, .last when Becker had dinner with Rosenthal, Mrs. Rosenthal, and a party of friends. Becker Backs Rosenthal. According to Rose, at this dinner, Mrs. Rosenthal complained to Becker that her husband was having a hard tlmo to get along, and he said to her: "Cheer up. your troubles will soon be over. Herman and I are friends, and I am prepared to go the route for Rosenthal then talked over the ques tion of his (Becker's) Koine Into busi ness with him. When Rose heard of this he said that he protested. "I told Becker It uuid be danger ous, and he had better not." said the witness. However, Becker finally ad vanced 1,M0 to Rosenthal, to Rose, and ina rtnmmv chattel mortgage, on the contents of the placo In ttth street, was executed. Rose was put Into the place, he said, nominally as n partner, but In reality to look after Becker's Interest and to see that he got the full 23 per cent promised. , "The first night we opened Becker rolled on the phone and wanted to know how things went I told him we had a fair night, and thought things would Improve. He satd that was good, nnd then told me to tell Rosenthst that h'e wanted 1600 for Charles Tripp. He was known as Becker's press agent and had been charged with murder as the result of the killing of a man In a raid by Becker's "strong arm" squad. Rosenthal refused to give up the money. (Continued on Third Psgs.) Ji
