The departure of the Greeks was
made a religions and martial event

LOVE OF FANCY BIRDS
CAUSES EMBEZZLEMENT
Bank Teller "Borrows" Money
to Stock Pheasant Farm
[Special Dispatch io The Call]
PORTLAND, Oct. 14.—Love of fancy I
birds caused the downfall of Silas Rich,
teller of the United States National
bank of Salem, who is under arrest for
embezzling the bank's funds.
From infancy Rich showed a special
adaptation for handling' birds, and in
the last few years he has indulged his
fancy by raising pheasants. His
pheasant farm near Salem is one of the
best in the country and his sales this
summer amounted to more than $1,000.
Demands of his farm tempted him to
take money from the bank until the
total was nearly $2,400. This he in
tended to return, and, finally worried
by his inability so to do, he went to
the officers of the bank and made a
confession.

FOOTBALL RESULTS
START DOPESTERS
Victory by Swarthmore Over
Pennsy Shows Up Quaker
Weakness
[Special Dispatch io The Call]
NKW YORK. dct. 1!.-Several things
happened in the football play of Sat
urday to cause the observer to think.
it was expected that the games in
which the "ih'g Five" tigured would
prove the turning points in the season
-that vat sit. elevens would be grad
uated from the elementary into the ad
vanced classes of gridiron scholarship,
so to speak—and they did.
on its showing prior to yesterday
Penrsylvania had been rated by the
eritir-s as one of the strongest teams
in the. east. This opinion was based
solely upon the attacking strength
which the red and blue eleven had evi
denced. Its defense had not been
tested. Suarthmore was counted upon
to Furnish that test.
Suarthmore did more than that.
Swarthmore proved that the Quakers'
defense needs bolstering and that the
attack was overrated. The best'l'enn
sylvania could do to keep from being
blanked was to kick a field goal.
The other surprise was the showing
made by Cornell. Kither the Ttha«ans
have greatly improved or New
York university Is not as strong as
Oberlin or Colgate, both of which
elevens have beaten Cornel). It is gen
erally believed that result was more
directly due to increased strength on
tho part of Cornell,
It was expected that Princeton would
have an easy time of it with V. P. 1.,
and the Tigers did. V. P. I, had nothing
and the orange and black defense ia
still untried.
The fact that Williams kicked a field
goal" against Harvard means nothing.
The fielding was not kicked until the
majority of first strong players were
out of the game; and even with sub
stitutes Williams, although not a weak
team, has not made any material head
way.
Jlarvard appears to have a well bal
anced team. The attack is excellent.
There is co-operation between the line
men and the backs that bothers any
eleven. Vale played the same fine foot
ball that the bulldogs showed against
Syracuse and Lafayette never- had a
chance. The coaches wore sufficiently
satisfied with what the blue regulars
ai complished in the first half and took
most of them out. There was no need
of taking the chance of their being
injured.

WEBBER TELLS
ABOUT BECKER
DEATH THREAT
"I'd Have Put Him Against Wall
and Shot Him Myself," His
Alleged Statement
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Unshaken in
his testimony that Lieut. Charles Beck
er remarked after the murder Vf Her
man Rosenthal that had he seen the
informer, he would have "taken a shot
at him," Louis (Bridgie) Webber with
stood the cross examination by" the
defense in the murder trial of the
police lieutenant in the criminal branch
of the supreme court today, and de
nied that he gave the signal for the
death volley.
Around this point John F. Mclntyre.
chief counsel for Becker, pursued Web
ber, whose position was extremely
ticklish as Louis Krause, a previous
witness for the prosecution, had testi
fied that the dapper little gambler
walked from the Metropole hotel just
ahead of Rosenthal and signaled to
the gunmen that the man following
him was the intended victim.
Answering in brief negatives or af
firmatives, Webber met all questions
as to his own, admitting some un
pleasant incidents therein, also deny
ing he ever participated In any other
murder plot. He admitted he was the
man who at Becker's command paid
$1,000 to Kose to be given the hired
assassin. But at the question of his
having given the signal which meant
Rosenthal's death volley he stuck.
Webber admitted that District At
torney Whitman had promised him Im
munity if he told the truth, and if
lie proved he had not fired a shot.
Webber denied telling Jack Sullivan
after their arrest that he had agreed
with Rose and Vallon to swear away
Becker's life—"frame Becker" he called
it-*-and they would have sworn to
charges against anybody, Mayor Gay
nor or Police Commissioner Waldo to
save their own lives. Repeatedly Web
ber denied stretching the truth to
maintain Sam Schepps' status as an
intruder, innocent of any part in the
murder plot or of anything but
"butting in" on the plottings of the
others.
IIIOMKS HK WAS COACHED
Webber denied he had been coached
to keep Schepps clear so that he might
corroborate testimony as an outsider
and not as an unindicted conspirator.
He testified that twice Becker dis
cussed with him the "croaking" of
Rosenthal and that on other occasions
the matter was discussed by himself
and Becker. He sent $50 to Mrs.
Rosenthal to help defray the funeral
expenses of the man whose death he
plotted.
Cautious to the extreme, avoiding
testifying about any dates, excepting
that of the murder, "Webber In direct
examination held fast to his story,
which was a brief repetition of his
part of the plotting as described by
Jack Rose. His testimony was scant,
as compared with Rose's long and dra
matic recital, but he covered all the
points in which Rose had named him
as an actor in the plot against Herman
Rosenthal, beginning with the time
when he said Becker, fuming at Rose's
delay, said:
"Bridgie, why don't you sec that this
is croaked?"
GUARDED IN. ANSWERS
On cross examination Webber ad
mitted that he had been a gambler and
had run an opium den in Pell street,
answered all questions with a prompt.
"Yes, sir," or "No, sir," but volunteered
no additional testimony, making John
F. Mclntyre, chief counsel for Becker,
lead along for each reply, while the
indicted lieutenant whispered at his
elbow suggesting questions.
The defense opened out a notch, ap
parently admitting there had been
some relations between Becker and
Webber, when Mclntyre asked the wit
ness if he had not told the defendant
that Rosenthal had thugs break Web
ber's jaw. Webber denied it.
The night of the murder, he said.
Rose brought to the Webber poker
room in West Forty-second street Jtf\e
four gunmen—"Lefty" Louie, "Gyp the
Blood." "Whltey" Lewis and "Dago"
Frank.
They went around to the Metropole,
and Webber, cautiously following at a
safe distance, learned that Rosenthal
had been killed. His direct examina
tion explicitly left out any reference to
walking out of the dining room just
ahead of Rosenthal to signal to the
waiting assassins, as had been testified
by Louis Krause.
Webber gave a description of the
meeting with Becker after the murder,
which tallied in the, essential with
Rose's story giving the same idea, al
though in slightly different words, of
how Becker said that he looked down
on Rosenthal's body in the police sta
tion and wished he could cut out the
informer's tongue to hang !up as a
warning to others.
DIOATH THREAT BY HKI'KKIt
"Becker said," testified Webber at
this point, "I was passing the Metro
pole in my automobile this morning,
and if I had seen —— I would have
told my chauffeur to go slow. Then I
would have put him up against the
wall and taken a shot at him myself,
and then I would have tOld the chauf
feur to put on more speed and keep
going."
The cross examination of John F.
Mclntyre. chief of the defense counsel,
put Webber through admissions of a
degrading nature.
Two weeks prior to the murder Jack
Sullivan had told Webber he testified
that Rosenthal had made a complaint
to the district attorney. He denied
that while in the ante room of* the
grand jury room he said to Sam Paul,
"Becker is innocent, but we've got to
save ourselves." He also denied that
he had said to Sullivan, "We will give
them Becker, as they want him so
badly." He denied he was committing
perjury to save his own life.
Following the conclusion of Webber's
redirect examination Grant Crabtree, a
deputy clerk In the filing bureau of po
lice headquarters, was called and iden
tified Becker's signature on department
documents which the state presented
in evidence. These explain why he had
not closed Rosenthal's gambling house.
These documents were admitted in
evidence over objections.

Vera Mersereaux
Who Danced The
Salome on Liner
Fifteen Costumes Fit Into "Cash
Box" Trunk on Board
Siberia
The local fame that Vera Mersereaux
gained as a Salome dancer was as
nothing to the hit she made Sunday
night in the saloon of the liner Si
beria, on which she arrived here yes
terday from Honolulu. It is the cus
tom, on ocean liners, for the passen
gers to have an entertainment the
last night at sea, and when Miss Mer
sereaux was invited to contribute to
the program her response was graci
ous, generous and immediate.
"I will sing." she told the eriter
talnment committee, "and will give a
dramatic reading. If I could get my
costumes from my trunk, which is in
the hold, I would also give mj» Salome
dance."
Talent being scarce and a Salome
dance at sea something new, the com
mittee arranged with Chief Officer
Stewart to have the young woman's
trunk brought on deck. She had two
trunks, she explained, one of them a
very large affair, and the other one
small. In one of the trunks she had
15 dancing costumes. She didn't ex
plain in which trunk they were and
Stewart, remembering wiiat she said
about .5 costumes, had the larger one
brought up.
It was the wrong one. Tho big
trunk, she explained, contained scen
ery; the costumes were in the small
one. It wasn't much bigger than a
fairly large cashbox, but when Stewart
saw the Salome costume as Miss Mer
sereaux wore it the following evening,
he understood that 15 costumes do not
of necessity require much room.
The dance was a big hit but didn't
altogether suit Miss Mersereaux, who
explained yesterday that she had spent
so much time on the beach at Waikiki
and had acquired such an extensive
coat of tan that she was sure it spoiled
the artistic effect.
Duke Kahanamoku, Hawaii's and the
world's champion swimmer, taught her
to swim native fashion and wanted to
marry her. Marshall Allan, a wealthy
resident of the island port, also was
anxious. Miss Mersereaux said yester
day, to endow her with all his worldly
goods, and another Island plutocrat,
whose name she refrained from men
tioning, she said, because his wife
mightn't like it, wanted her to elope
with him to Japan. Altogether siie
had quite a busy time in the ishyid
port, and as she has a six months' op
tion on Marshall Allan, she said, she
might go back there in a few months.

Greeting to President and
His Navy Secretary
[Special Dispatch io The Call]
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-— The -loomv
splendor of embattled steel, thunders
of saluting guns, crash of brass music
all that the psalmist includes in his
"mighty, majestic, dominion and priory"
prevailed today in North river. For
there the president of the United States
and the secretary of the navy were in
specting the sea battle line of the
nation.
Under their eyes 123 fighting "B»
--chlnes stretched in double and triple
lines of dun and gray from Twenty
third street nearly to Yonkers. From
the Wyoming and Arkansas, greatest
battleships afloat, to the little water
wasps that stab below the armor belt.
floating like tethered swordtlsh off One
i Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, tho
president and his chief of the navy
passed in critical review. Fifteen
thousand shots fired in salutes to the
flags of the president of tho United
States and the secretary of the navy
set the air over the Hudson quivering
for hours.
RIOT OF COLOR SWEEPS FLEET
Before the sun was over the eastern
rim of the Riverside Apartment cliffs
a little string of signal flags jumped
to the Connecticut's signal yard. That
was Rear Admiral Osterhaus' order to
his fleet captains, "Prepare to dross
ship."
When the president came down the
long lines of hobbled sea terrors buds
of riotous color began to burgeon.
From rati to truck, from truck to
truck and down to rail again, the ten
drils of the signal flags crept, unfold
ed, glared. Even the snubnoscd Bru
tus and Ajax—humble toilers of the
fleet—sported their bunting. The low
lying torpedo boats strung slender
lines of particolored flags from their
spinding masts. The piled up towers
