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 ha3 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 as 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 had 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 of 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 put
together. The Deputy Commissioner
says that he 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.

Hopeful
TOKIO, July 20. Official admission
was made today that the health of
Emperor Mutsuhito is rapidly failing,
and that his death is probably only a
question of a short time.
The mikado is seriously ill of both
stomach and brain trouble, and all
public and private audiences have
been stopped. His condition is more
serious than at any other time since
his illness began.
Warned that the mikado is sinking
steadily members of the Japanese roy
al family are hastening to the bedside
of the dying ruler. All members of
the cabinet and other important gov
ernment officers are assembled at the
palace. The public has been warned
that death may come at any time and
the streets are crowded with anxious
throng3. The whole city is quiet and
sad.
According to a bulletin the mikado's
temperature is 105, pulse 104 and res
piration 38.
Prince Katsura has been advised of
the mikado's condition and is expect
ed to reach Tokio quickly. It is believ
ed if the emperor dies Kitsura will
become premier again.
The sudden change for the worse
occurred Friday night, when the mik
ado abruptly collapsed while convers
ing with the empress. Court physi
cians were summoned, and the em
press remained all night at her hus
band's bedside.
Today religious services were held
throughout the country for the empe
ror's recovery, the special services in
the Buddhist's temples here and at
Kioto being especially impressive.
The wife of the heir to the throne,
Prince Yoshihito, is representing him
at the palace in his absence, and
keeps acquainted with his father's con
dition by telephone.
Mutsu-Hito-Tenwo is the 121st em
peror of his time, which dates back
2555 year the oldest dynasty in the
world. The emporer is of pleasing
address, nearly six feet tall, broad and
muscular, of courtly bearing and in
tellectual appearance.
According to a Japanese legend,
Mutsu Hito is the direct descendant
of Ginmu ,the divine conqueror, who
"descended from the heaven on the
white bird of the clouds." Ginmu,
says the legend .conquered the Alnos,
a warlike race, whose descendants
still live in the northern part of Jap
an. Having settled with them, he
styled himself "Tenshi," or "the son
of heaven," and founded the present
dynasty in 660 B. C.

$250,000 to the Democratic National
committee in 1904.
"Did Mr. Thomas F. Ryan contrib
ute in 1908?" continued Senator
Clapp.
"No, he did not." w
"Might they have contributed to
some one else?"

Mount Angel Wins Last Chautauqua

ed Pennant Fine Pro
gram Today
John Mitchell, America's peerless
labor leader and probably the most
modest "big man" in the United
States Saturday thrilled a great sym
pathetic audience of 3,500 Chautauqua
people with his great logical lecture.
"The Philosophy, Purposes and Ideals
of the Trades Union Movement." The
great labor champion created a wave
of sympathy that was remarkable for
an audience consisting of compara
tively few union men. Whether it
was forceful deliverey, his masterly
argument in favor of trade unionism,
or his extreme modesty in excluding
entirely from his talk, any Reference
of his own great achievements for the
cause, that inspired and enabled his
spellbound hearers to see the labor
movement from a new viewpoint, it
is difficult -to say. Only once did Mr.
Mitchell mention his own career and
that was after the flowery introduct
ory speech of Secretary Young of the
Oregon Federation. ' "Experience has
taught me one thing," said Mr. Mit
chell. "Keep your eyes on the star -but
your feet on the gravel." With
this little introduction he plunged at
once into his subject-matter of his
logical heart-to-heart analysis of un
ion labor and in an hour and thirty
minutes had won the genuine admira
tion of his audience for himself and
for his work.
Only once did Mr. Mitchell dis-
gress that was to congratulate the
women of Oregon in their earnest en
deavor for the cause of Woman Suff
rage and he voiced the sentiment of
unionism as favoring equal suffrage,
'Primarily," said Mr. Mitchell, "for
the 5,090,000 women who are at work
in our -American factories and are
subject to the same faetory regula
tions as the men, and Secondarily, be
cause women in general will use the
ballot for the moral welfare of this
country." Commenting on the argu
ment of Dr. Clarence True Wilson at
Chautauqua last Tuesday when the
Portland man faced the suffragettes
with the old argument that the "Wo
man's sphere is the home not the
ballot," Mr. Mitchell called the atten
tion of his hearers to the rather nar
row home sphere of the American
working women of today, and this was
his main argument why they should
enjoy the right of suffrage.
Briefly summarizing the history of
the industrial revolution and the
growth of the factory system, from
which the union was an offspring, Mr.
Mitchell left no stone unturned in
bringing forcibly before his hearers
the philosophy of the labor move
ment. He clearly set forth the dis
advantange through lack of bargain
ing skill which the individual laborer
must meet in selling his work to tha
skilled employer who has hired thous
ands, and this, according to Mr. Mit
chell, naturally brought about an ap
proach to the ideal cofidition where
in employes must deal collectively,
rather than individually with the buy
ers of labor.
"Our purposes are simple," said tha
well known leader. "To obtain a min
imum wage that we may live in ac
cordance, with the rightful standard

SCHUEBEL KEEPS
AFTER ENTERPRISE
LAWYER AGGRIEVED BECAUSE
HIS COMPLAINT WAS PUB
LISHED IN FULL
IT CONTAINED SCHNOERR "AD"
Attorney For Plaintiff Intimates Sup
plemental Paper Will Be
Filed Motion to Strike
Out Overruled
Chris Schuebel ,who is suing the.
Morning Enterprise for $10,000 dam
ages for alleged libel for publishing
an advertisement of Gustav Schnoerr,
President of the Deutsche Verein of
Clackamas County, and Vice-President
of the German Societies of Ore
gon, has more fault to find with the
only daily newspaper published be
tween Portland and Salem. Through
his attorney, C. D. Latourette, Mr.
Schuebel Saturday asked for five days
in which to file a supplemental com
plaint, alleging as additional grounds
for damages that the Morning Enter
prise erred in publishing in full the
nmmnnl nnm Tl i T t -1 T!lltllO riftill.
ment filed by Mr. Schuebel. This
complaint, written by Mr. Schuebel's
lawyers, Messrs. Latourette and
U'Ren, gave as the cause of action
the advertisement of Mr. Schnoerr,
and incorporated the advertisement.
The Morning Enterprise published the
whole thing, advertisement and all,
as did at least one of the Portland
papers. It had to do it to give the
news. ,
When Mr. Schuebel after his origi
nal complaint was thrown out of court
a demurrer to it having been sustain
ed, filed his amended complaint, the
advertisement was included in that,
and the Morning Enterprise, in order
to furnish the news to its readers,
again published the whole thing. Now
Mr. Schuebel, through his lawyer, in
asking for five days in which to file
a supplemental complaint, intimates
that the paper had no right to repub
lish the advertisement It "quoted his
own complaint, which contained the
advertisement, verbatim.
In calling attention to the adver
tisement in arguing against a motion
to strike out parts of the amended pe
tition in Judge Campbell's Court Sat
urday morning, Mr Latourette read
the advertisement which Mr .Schnoerr
inserted in the Morning Enterprise.
Judge Campbell overruled the mo
tion to strike out certain parts of the
amended complaint and gave the plain
tiff five days in which to file a supple
mental complaint. George C. Brown
ell and J. E. Hedges are attorneys
for the" defendant.
In his amended petition Mr. Schue
bel says:
"That certain parts of said article
so written, signed and published to
wit: (quoting the advertisement.)
" 'Neither can I understand how a
person (meaning plaintiff can afford
to spend hundreds of dollars for the
small recompensation he can honest
ly get if elected to the legislature.
" 'Mr. Scheubel (Meaning plaintifT)
tries to make his audience believe
that the 'interests' or certain parties
"have "bought me.' Be not deceived!
Not I, but he has been bought, If signs
fail not, and because he is used to be
ing bought and sold, as everybody
knows, he made an effort to buy me
in my own house. This happened
March 31, 1912.
" "Whether they want politicians
and demagogues (meaning plaintiff)

welfare who trample on the rights
and honor of their fellowmen and who
