ROME, Aug. 2.—The heavy fighting along the
frontier in the direction of Trieste continues with
out any appreciable diminution. The fight is on a
tremendous scale considering the nature of the
country, mountainous, with few available military
roads, and the heavy artillery of both sides is play
ing a prominent part in the final outcome. The
advance of the Italians is being stubbornly contested
but despite the furious efforts of the Austrians, who
are fighting with the greatest bravery and skill, the
Italians are slowly but steadily forging ahead. For

NKW \ (^RK, Aug. 2.—Tile final chapter in the
Rosenthal murder case was written today, when
Lieutenant Charles Becker of the New York police
force, who was executed in Sing Sing early Saturday
y-- _ ' —
morning, was buried. Immense throngs watched the
funeral procession with interest and the services in
♦ he church wore listened-to by an overflow crowd.
Conspicuous among the mourners were many mem
bers of the police department. The casket contain
ing the body bore only a simple plate bearing the
name of the deceased and the date of his death. The
plate originally on the casket alleged besides the
name and the date of death, that Becker had been
murdered by Governor Charles Whitman, who was
prosecuting attorney at the time of the trial. This
plate was removed after the police had refused to
allow the funeral to proceed unless it was taken off
the casket. Many floral pieces were accompanying
the body, and were taken into Woodlawn Cemetery,
where the burial was made. One huge floral offering
bore the inscription, “Sacrificed to Politics.” The
officials of the cemetery refused to allow the cortege
to enter the grounds until this piece was removed.

N. V. LEAGUE IS
FIZZLE
SEATTLE, Aug. 2—The North
western Baseball League has given up
the ghost because of the poor attend
ance which made It impossible for the
managers to pay salaries. From a
financial standpoint, the present sea
son has been the worst that the
league has ever experienced, due
partially to the collapse of business in .
the two Canadian cities, Vancouver
and Victoria. The tronbles of the
latter team have been the worst, its
manager havnlg thrown up the
sponge earlier in the season, only to
have the tenm run by the league as
a whole in order that the schedule
might not be demoralized. As a re
sult of this last collapse, Aberdeen and
Victoria have been dropped from the
ranks, and Vancouver, Seattle, Ta
coma and Spokane will attempt to
finish out the season.
