ll i i wmm MURDER SUSPECTS IMPORTANT ARRESTS SOON TO BE MADE IN BIG NEW YORK TRAGEDY POLICE FIND MAN WHO HIRED CAR Diitrlct Attorney Whitman Declsres Trail Lssds Where He Thought It Would Mayor Aid In Investigation NEW YORK. July IS. "The trail 1. mts whore I thought It did.' re marked District Attorney Whitman late today. This was Just after lie had heard the statement of "Jack" Rose, the friend of Police Lieutenant Charles Decker and the man who hired the gray automobile In which the slayers of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, drove to the crowded corner where they shot him early Tuesday morning. Little by little the tangled skein of motives and personalities behind the murder Is being unravelled and to night It seems probable that other im portant arrests will follow speedily. Ros's surrender and confession that he hired the "murder car" although declaring be was not In it, were the big events today., but other develop ments were not lacking. Mayor Gaynor took a personal hand in the Investigation. He sent for Lieu tenant Becker, against whom were lodged Rosenthal's first charges that the police force was both protecting and bleeding gamblers. The Mayor, Police Commissioner Waldo and three other policemen were closeted for two hours. No statement of what was said came out, but the Mayor later took oc casion to give out a letter he sent yes terday to the commissioner express ing surprise that Becker should sit down to dinner with a man of Rosen thal's character. "That be did seems to be admitted' the mayor commented. Disrict Attorney Whitman had his say in a letter sent tg Comissioner Waldo today, relating to the commis sioner's request for an immediate and complete investigation of allegations of partnership between policemen and gamblers. "When yon asked this before" wrote Mr. Whitman, "Herman Rosenthal, who had made the charge, was alive. 1 had proceeded so far that he was to appear before the grand Jury and give details and names of other gamblers to substantiate his charge. On the night preceding the day fixed, he was as sassinated evidently by men who fear ed his testimony, or their agents, on the principle that dead men tell no tales." It was reported about police head quarters this afternoon that the ar rest of a leading police official soon would take place In connection with the murder of Rosenthal. Hundreds of the gambling fraternity attend?d the funeral of Rosenthal to day. Aaron J. Levy, counsel for Louis Libby and William Shapiro, who are under arrest and are the alleged own ers of the "murder car," gave out a statement regarding Shapiro's conduct at the time of the murder. Shapiro has admitted, according to the police, that he was the driver of the car. "Shapiro," said Levy, "told me that after the shooting he was working with his motor and pretended it would not start One of the party said: Don't stal that engine. Yon had bet ter get get It started and ne quick about If "Shapiro still hesitated and one of the party said: 'Go on. you fool; get started; don't you know that the cops are fixed and no one will bother us. It Is a clean get-away.'" PoTice Comissioner Waldo announ ced the suspension of Patrolmon Wil liam J. File, who was In the Hotel Metropole off duty at the time of the murder and unsuccessfully pursued in a taxlcab the automobile In which the murderers escaped. WHITMAN LEADS NEW YORK PROSECUTOR HAS LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN PO LICE AIDING HIM ROSENTHAL KILLING AROUSES CITY Citizens Declare That Plot To Assas sinate Gambler Was In Wide Circulation In Re sorts NEW YORK, July 19. Private de tectives were brought into the Rosen thal murder case today by District At torney Whitman. They were engaged by a committee of citizens who shared the prosecutor's dissatisfaction with the lack of results achieved by the po lice in tracing the slayers of the gambler who was shot after making charges of police partnership with gamblers. In connection with the bringing It of these outside agencies attention was called to what were declared la mentable omissions by the police in guarding against the escape of Ro senthal's slayers Monday night and lack of properly directed activity since. It is said the story that Rosenthal was to be killed was In wide circula tion In East Side resorts Monday night but that if any report of it reached headquarters no measures were takes to protect the gambler. It was commented on that six po licemen near by did not fire a shot or blow a whistle to stop the murder par ty after the shooting; that the num ber of the "murder car" was reported four different ways all erroneous by as msny policemen while citisensgot It right; that it was left to the Dis trict Attorney to uncover most of the HIT FOR SLAYERS Important evidence so far available; that men known to have talked over the prospective assassination of Ro senthal the day before It occurred eith er have not been arrested or were tak en and let go on small ball, or. In the case of one, held only because th Dis trict Attorney Insisted upon It The Independent course of the Dis trict Attorney was Indicated today when he summoned !.ou!s I.lbboy and William Shapiro, owners of the auto mobile used by the murder party, and heard 'them make what may b Im portant disclosures In support of the theory of connection between the gamblers and the "police system." Neither Mr. Whitman nor Assembly man Levy counsel for the twa men, would discuss what I.lbbey and Sha piro had revealed. Mr. Levy said he and M. Whitman had screed ti give jout no further Information. Not long before, however, the lawyer had had a two-hour confi rence with his clients and made a brief statement regard ing it. 'They have told me things that I did not know of before," he said. "It Mr. Whitman desires to hear my clients he will learn of disclosures which will make the public gasp when tbey are published." SLAYERS ESCAPE POLICE DECLARE MEN WHO KILL ED GAMBLER HAVE FLED FROM CITY AUTHORITES HAYE NAMES OF ALL Suspects Are Well Known And Could Not Havs Eluded Watch With out Being Supplied With Money NEW YORK, July 20. The men who rode to the Metropole Hotel ear ly Tuesday morning In Louis Libby's gray automobile and there shot and killed Herman Rosenthal, the gambler who had so long been a thorn In the side of certain police officials, have fled from this city. This is the explanation which the police offer for their failure to arrest a single one of the murderers. Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, who ha 3 been in charge of the Investi gation of Rosenthal's death, virtual ly admitted today that the reason none of the men had been caught is because they cannot be found. Mr. Dougherty made no secret of the fact that the names of all of the men are in his possession. He does not hesitate to say that they are well known men who are In ordinary cir cumstances could be rounded up in a few hours. He refused positively to give their names or say if he had clews ai, to where any of them have gone. He would not predict how long It will be before he is able to run down the assassins, although he did say that the progress he bad made so far is more than satisfactory and that he is confident he will ultimately get the criminals. It Is known that descrip tions of certain men have been sent broadcast throughout the country b the police of this city. In connection with these circulars the police of oth er cities have been asked to keep sec ret the names of the men wanted. Mr. Dougherty said that there Is no certainty that the men he Is after know that they are wanted. If their names become public, he said, they will know It and the difficulty of get ting them would be greatly increased. In "Jack" Rose, the gambler friend of Lieutenant Becker, and the man who hired the car In which the mur derers ot Rosenthal rode to and from the scene of their crime, Mr. Dough erty declares he has a prisoner more Important than all of the others pat together. The Deputy Commissioner says that be is confident the murder of Rosenthal was plotted In the aft ernoon or early evening and that the men who rode in Libby's car were ful ly aware of what was to be done. FIVE ARE HELD IN NEW YORK, July 22. Five persons are under arrest today charged with participation In the Rosenthal murder These are William Shapiro, owner of the automobile used by the murderers Louis Libby, its driver; Jack Rose, the go-between for the police and the gamblers; Bridgie Webber, in whose rooms it is alleged the murden plans were laid and Sam Pau at whose out ing a week ago, it is alleged the crime was decided upon. Jack Sullivan is held as a material witness. It was stated that arrests In other cities are momentarily expected. Postoffice officials today are trying to locate the writers of letters threat ening District Attorney Whitman and others. The grand Jury postponed the Rosenthal investigation until to morrow because of a bitch over the witnesses to be examined. The grand Jury wants to examine Police Lieuten ants Becker, O'Reilly snd Costigan, who were In charge of the squads de tailed to check gambling. District At torney Whitman refuses to permit Becker to testify unless he formally waives Immunity rights. Attorney Marshall, representing Weber and Paul, Intends Jo demand the release of his clients. 'Their arrest," said Marshall "was the result of the hysterical attitude of Police Commissioner Waldo. There is no evidence against them." Police Lieutenant Becker refifced to say whether be Is willing to waive Immunity If called to testify before the grand Jury. Police Commissioner Waldo today held a lengthy conference with Dist rict Attorney Whitman regarding the Rosenthal murder case. It was re ported that the conference was held at the request of Mayor Gaynor. Fol lowing the conference, Waldo confer red with Mayor Gaynor. Old Ulcers Are unsightly and dangerous.

FROM NEW YORK NEW YORK STIRRED BY NEW ARREST STATEMENT OF HARRY VALLON CAUSES OTHER PRISONERS, TO WEAKEN WIFE OF MURDERED MAN IS HEARD Dictagraphs To Be Used In Taking Testimony And Defective Burns Will Be Hired To Probe Cats NEW YORK, July 23,-Slgns ol weakness on the part of the defense of the men accused of complicity in the assassination of Herman Rosen thal, the gambler, became apparent this afternoon after Harry Vallou, w ho bad surrendered during the night and been held without ball on a charge of complicity In the Rosenthal murder, had made a statement to the police and the District Attorney. Evidently Yallon's statement wasot great Importance, for it stirred the police and the District Attorney's force to Immediate action. Vallon admitted that he was in the vicinity of the Metropole Hotel at the time of the murder; that he had previous ly been a passenger in the touring cur which conveyed the assassins to and from the scene of the crime, and that he was conversant with phases of the plot which the police had pre viously been unable to reach. The assertions of Vallon were wide ly at variance with statements that have been made by "Jack Rose." whose real name Is Jacob Rosenweig, the man who, by his own admissions hired the. murder car from Shapiro and Libby and rode In it from Four teenth street to Harlem and back to Forty-second street sud Sixth avenue. The variations In the two state ments were so Important that the Dis trict Attorney and Deputy Police Com missioner Dougherty determined to bring the two prisoners together face to face and question them on their respective stories. James M. Sullivan, counsel tor Rose waa notified of the plan ot the Dist rict Attorney. Mr. Sullivan hurried to Mr. Whitman's office and held an excited conference with the District Attorney and Inspector Hughes. Yallon's statement was shown to him and It appeared to set him back. He promptly announced that he would not allow his client to face Val lon and undergo an examination. Rose. In his statement to the po lice, has said that Vallon was not In the gray assassination car In which the murderers escaped. Vallon admit ted today that be was a passenger in that car during the time when Rose was running around town gathering up men who assembled In the vicinity of the Metropole when Rosenthal was killed. In the course of a long examination before the grand Jury today under the direction of District Attorney Whitman and Assistant Moss, Mrs. Herman Rosenthal, widow of the murdered gambler, gave in detail all the knowledge in her possession con cerning the charge of Rosenthal that certain police officers were sharing In the profits of the tenderlon gambling houses. OTHER MURDERS I KILLING OF GAMBLER ON BROAD WAY IS THOUGHT TO BE ONLY START DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS IN FEAR Whitman Employs Burns To Run Down Band Of Slayers Ha beas Corpus Writ Denied NEW YORK, July 2L That other murders may follow the sensational killing of Herman Rosenthal, to pre vent revelation of the alleged complic ity of New York police with the gamb lers' rln?, is generally believed here to day following an elleged attempt to "wipe out" Attorney Levy, counsel for Louis Libby and William Shapira, now in the Tombs for complicity in the Ro senthal crime. Levy, whose clients are believed to have confessed their share In the gang murder, declares that last night bis house was 'Jimmied' and ransacked in bis absence. He believes bis life was sought. The burglarizing of Levy's home, following upon receipts of various threats by anonymous persons to kill District Attorney Whitman unless bis fight on the police Is dropped, is said to be causing Whitman the greatest uneasiness. Despairing of obtaining the evidence he seeks against Rosen thal's slayers through the medium of bis own detectives. Whitman is said to have concluded arrangements with William J. Burns to take their trail and all the acumen of Bums' agency is understood to have been brought into play today to solve what still Is one of the greatest mysteries uncov ered in New York in years. Circulars asking for the arrest of Whitey Lewis, "Lefty" Loewe, Samuel Sheps, Harry Horrowltz and "Lago Frank," in connection with the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New York gambler, were sent to the police de partments of all big cities today by the local authorities. This action follow ed the testimony given before the grand Jury yesterday by Rosenthal's widow, and conversations In the Tombs between William Shapira and Louis Libby gotten by means of dic tographs. The application for a writ of habeas corpus sought for Webber was denied by Justice Glegrisb and the hearing of the application In behalf of Samuel Paul was continued A new theory concerning the escape of the murderers of Rosenthal was ad vanced today by District Attorney Whitman. Whitman thinks It possible that the "murder automobile" was purposely left where the license number would be discernible as a "blink"; that the accomplices of the murderers entered EXPECTED IN N It, while the real slsyers walked away unnoticed. That the dictagraph has played an important part In the collection of ev idence against the men alleged to be concerned in (Iip conspiracy to put Uosiniiiul out ot the v. ay was fully es tablished today. IHqiuty Police Com missioner Dougherty asserts that a "murder purse" was collected and paid over to the murderers on the night of the crime. The men who received the money and the amount each received is known to both Whitman and Dough erty. Tills evidence was gotten through, the dictagraph. Dour.herly re sortrng to a ruse to arrange Webber's house with the Instrument. When Webber was brought dowu from his house to have a talk with Dougherty ho was treated courteously the commissioner explaining" Hat we merely want you as a witness." Dough erty was quite willing when Webber's attorney suggested that ho be releas ed on $100 ball. The commissioner wanted to give Webber lime to bring h's suspected al lies Info the case. Soon on Saturday the commissioner sent a-taln for Web ber, r.ml tater two veiled women were biouul.t t'own to headquarter ll later (lcve.o.nl t!iM these women were con nected with the Webber household While Webber and the members of his family were sway from home the die-tn'-.raph was being installed, and Com missioner Dougherty declares that It has done It work thoroughly. E OFFICE IN L PORTLAND, Or., July 20. (Special.) A permanent branch office of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange was op ened In London on July 1, according to W, F. Gwin. general manager -of the exchange, who has returned to Portland after a two months trip to Europe. "We have always felt," said Mr. Gwin. "that the foreign market, while valuable. Is also dangerous, especially to the uninitiated. It Is unfortunate how little real knowledge there Is on the part of growers and shippers In the Nortwhest, of fruit trade condi tions in Europe. I have often heard growers complain that they had ship ped cars to foreign brokers on con signment, with roseate prospects but disastrous results. Others have com plained of the manifold and unac countable handling charges of the for elgn receivers. "In still another Instance, an Eng lish operator made his appearance In the Yaklman Valley, settled down for a season's stay and offered to buy for cash. He was welcomed, of course, especially as he was not very partic ular as to the price he paid. When the season was over he left very quietly owing the growers a good many thousand dollars, and one as sociation was reported to have losi over $10,000, wiping out their entire surplus. These are only a few of the snags that have been run up against mostly due to Ignorance of foreign trade and foreign trade conditions. "It was In order to put the Exchange In possession of complete, up to date Information concerning conditions that I made this trip, and It Is be cause trade conditions on the other side are complicated and full of pit falls for the unwary that the exchange found it advisable to establish an of fice of its own in London. This of fice was formally opened on July 1, and Is conveniently located In the Country Life buildings, 17-21 Tavis tock St., W .C, right across the street from Covent Garden MnrkeL" MILES NAMES AIDES IN FIGHT FOR TAFT NEW YORK, July 20.

HANFORD UNDER FIRE RESIGNS SEATTLE JURIST DECLARES HEALTH IS TOO POOR TO MAKE FIGHT INQUIRY CHECKED FOR TIME BEING Aged Jurist Deolares Hs Cannot Stand Strain Defense Collapses When Commutes Con tinues investigation SEATTLE. Wash.. July 22 Judge llanford has telegraphed Ills rvslgna Hon to President Taft. He gives as his reason that be cunnot stand the physical strain and that ho desires to retire, while he still has somo licaltu left. The committee) will wait for word from congress as to whether or not to proceed with the Impeachment probe. It is admitted In the federal court room that the startling evidence brought out Saturday against llnnford Involving hlin in a financial deal with the Northern Pacific railway filially determined bint to quit bench. There was no longer a semblance of doubt but that llanford would have to stand Impeachment before the senate. Members of the congressional commit tee In confidence have said that they considered the evidence against llan ford most damaging. - The llanford defense culapsed ap parently when the Investigating com mittee showed a determined effort to get at the bottom of Judge llanford's alleged business dealings wuu im gants. The llanford decision reduc ing the Northern Pacific railway's tax es while he wss negotiating for the purchase ot thousands ot acres of laud from the railway, waa a staggering blow to the defense when Itcpreanl alive McCoy read It Into the records. On top of this come the commit tee's sensational move to Investigate the whole relationship existing be tween Kerr and McCord. attorneys. and llnnford. About 9:35 the com mittee went Into executive session. A few minutes later, Representative Mc Coy called In the conference all three of llanford's attorneys, E. S. Hughes. Harold Preston and C. W. Dorr. Rumors become rife at this Juncture that the committee was discussing what procedure to follow In case Judge llnnford should resign. About 10:;',0 Chairman Graham, Judge Han- ford and Attorney Hughes left the fed eral building and went to a nearby telegraph office. Judge llanford snt In his resignation at that time, while Chairman Graham wired to the house Judiciary committee asking that a res olution be passed by the house In structlng Its committee wffbther to continue the investigation. Attorneys for llnnford went Into conference behind closed doors with the congressional committee this morning and It waa then rumored they were discussing what effect the res ignation of llanford would have on the Impeachment charges. A subpena had been Issued for Krastns Hralnerd. until a year ago editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and It was report ed that be was expected to glvo sen sational testimony. That a climax to the llanford Invest igation might come today wss the sus picion of those closely Identified with the case. Judge llanford was on the bench a few minutes this morning and then left It At 10:30 Judge llnnford. Chairman Graham of the Investigation commit tee, and Attorney Hughes, counsel for llnnford. left the federal building and went to a telegraph office. "What Is It all about?" Chairman J. M. Graham was asked as he left the telegraph otllce. "1 am on honor not to tell you," ho replied. "There Is a rumor," said a news paper man. "that Judge llanford has just sent In his resignation to I"rcBt dent TafL" But Graham refused to make any comment whatsoever. HANFORD PROBE IS TO BE CONTINUED SEATTLE, Wash., July 23. That Attorney General Wlckcrsham should take up the llanford Investigation where ll was dropped by the congres sional committee, Is the opinion of many Seattle attorneys today. Attorney John H. Perry who worked with the congressional committee here, declares that men Involved with llanford should not be allowed toes cape under the cover of llanford's res ignation. "The resignation of Hanford," said Perry, "naturally closes the case so far as he Is concerned ,but it is most certainly the duty of the department of Justice to follow up the work of the committee with criminal prosecu tions if It is Justified by the facts which are now obtainable. Hanford at first Issued a statement say "111 health" was the cause of his resignation. In later statements, however, nothing was said about this, but various other reasons were assigned. He declared that he was satisfied with the outcome of the In vestigation, proud of bis record on the bench and of the enemies he had made. Chairman J. M. Graham, of Illinois and Representative W. I. McCoy, of New Jersey, left at 11 o'clock this morning for Tacoma where they will spend the day. They will leave Ta coma tonight for the east Repre sentative E. W. Hlgglns, of Connecti cut, left on the Canadian Pacific for the east, yesterday. That Judge llanford was Induced to tender his resignation to shut off con gressional inquiry that tended to in volve seriously some of the most Inti mate supporters. Is the onfy tenable explanation credited here today for bis action. Just at the time when Hanford and his defenders were expecting the probe to be closed the committee made Its most unexpected move. This move clearly hit upon a trail which bad hitherto been covered. There was no mistaking the surprise it caus ed to the Hanford defense and there was no denial of the report that the probe In that direction would have In-1 volved others than Hanford. 1 TAMMANY HALL AID J.
