ROSENTHAL'S FEAR POLICE
District Attorney Says Victim Was
About to Give Further Testimony
Concerning Collusion Between
Department and Gamesters.
NEW YORK, July 1. Through the
alleged confession of a man under ar
rest, the police are believed to have
possession of the names of seven men
suspected of having- participated In the
sensational killing- today of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler. Just as he was
presumably about to make important
additions to his recent disclosures ot
alleged partnership between police of
ficials and members of the gambling
fraternity. Additional arrests are mo
mentarily expected.
According to District Attorney Whit
man. Rosenthal was about to name
gamblers who could corroborate his
assertions regarding police collusion
-with men of his calling.
Threat Made Onenly.
That such a raking up In gambling
circles was not relished by men who
might be involved was apparent. It de
velops, from talk among members of
the "inner circles," In the tenderloin,
which began as soon as Rosenthal's
purpose become known. Threats were
made yesterday, it is said, that things
would fare ill for Rosenthal if he
pressed bis charges.
"If Rosenthal does not quit within
the next few days we will 'get him
and "get" him for keeps." was a re
mark of a member of a poker party
at an East Side "Association" outing
Sunday reported today- to District At
torney Whitman by a man who said he
iverheard it. .
Auto Owner Arrested.
The police have not named the al
leged confessor.' Three men were ar
rested today In connection with the
murder of Rosenthal. Louis Libbey.
part owner. It is alleged, of the auto
mobile containing the party of men who
hot the gambler, was one of the trio.
The police say they are assured he
was the driver of the motor car and
have charged him with homicide. His
partner in ownership of a garage. Wil-
iam Shapiro, is another prisoner held
as a material witness. So Is a man
whose identity the police hide under
the name of "John Doe," who was said
to have been near the scene of the
shooting.
Instead of fearing harm at the hands
of the gambling fraternity. Rosenthal's
chief dread, it Is said, was police en
mity because of his charges against a
member of the force.
Gambler la Fear of Police.
"The police will "get me,' because
they have a system of always putting
important witnesses out of the way,"
Rosenthal is alleged to have said.
"Better men than I have been put
out of the way for daring to squeal
on the police."
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty as
serted that eye witnesses to the mur
der ot Rosenthal identified Llbby as one
of the quintet who drove up In front
of the hotel, and calling the .gambler
from the lobby to the sidewalk, shot
him down with a fusillade of bullets
and then fled in the motor car. Rosen
thal was shot five times in the head.
Widow Accuses Police.
Mrs. Sadie Rosenthal, widow of the
gambler, in a declaration to District
Attorney Whitman, put the assassina
tion ot her husband squarely up to the
police. She warned her husband that
if he kept an appointment be would
come to a violent end. She said she
had a premonition a tragedy would fol
low such a conference, and she named
a police officer as one of the men who
was to be present.
At least two witnesses agreed that
one or more of the men in the auto
mobile were policemen.
Rosenthal sprang suddenly into pub
lic notice last Friday, when he hurled
a bomb into police circles by filing affi
davits charging that the police were in
league with the gamblers all through
New York and that every gambling
house was being assessed a fixed sum
for police protection.
Rosenthal's Place Closed.
Rosenthal has been for some time, he
explained, the proprietor of a gam
bling establishment in West Forty-fifth
street, which was closed on April 15.
after a raid by Police Lieutenant Beck

This raid. Rosenthal declared, fol

A resolution was adopted calling on
Governor Deneen and other candidates
for state offices to Indicate whether
they would support Colonel Roosevelt
or President Taft. A committee is to

SEATTLE. July 16. Frank Burpee, of

Witness said he had not seen the
invention and felt sure It was of no
value, yet he was tempted to enter
into negotiations for the reason that he
felt it would be to his advantage to
do so.
' The Alaska Packers' Association,
owners of patents on certain salmon
canning machinery, had sued witness
in Judge Hanford's court, alleging that
witness had infringed six patents. The
litigation extended over seven months,
witness said, and during that time full

Judge Hanford decided that three of
the Burpee devices infringed patents of
the plaintiff, and on appeal the Cir
cuit Court decided that four patents
had been infringed. Nothing remained
but the award by Judge Hanford of the
amount of damages against the Burpee
Company. At this time, Burpee testi
fied that his own counsel, Evan S. Mc
Cord, informed him that Judge Han
ford, while studying cannery machinery
during the trial had hit upon a dif

"As much as I am in favor of sports,
I am absolutely opposed to pugilism in

boxing entertainments," he said. "So
long as boxing is indulged in as a
wholesome sport I would not object to
it, but the moment professionalism is

BOOK BY WILSON QUOTED
Borah Reads From Writings of New
Jersey Governor Declaring Pres
tige of Presidential Office
Is Waning.
WASHINGTON, July 16. The Senate
Indireetly today rebuked President Taft
for his course in connection with the
Lorimer case. Once blocked from a
vote by the Archbald Impeachment
proceedings, a resolution, battle-scarred
In a protracted, bitter debate, finally
was adopted, 35 to 23, denouncing "any
attempt on the part of a President to
exercise the power of his office to in
fluence a vote on a question within the
Senate's exclusive Jurisdiction."
The resolution originally was framed
by Senator Bailey, who had arraigned
President Taft, asserting he had been
"officious and meddlesome" In endeav
oring to line up regular Republican
Senators in the Lorimer case, and as
adopted read:
"Resolved, That any attempt on the
part of a President of the United
States to exercise the powers and in
fluence of his great office for the pur
pose of controlling the vote of any
Senator upon a question Involving a
right to a seat in the Senate, or upon
any other matter within the exclusive
Jurisdiction of the Senate, would vio
late the spirit if not the letter of the
Constitution and Invade the rights of
the Senate."
Six Republicans Vote Aye.
Not a Democrat voted against tin
resolution; but six Republicans voted
for it. Republicans who voted for it
were Senators Bourne, Clapp, Fell, Gal
linger. McCumber and Works. Demo
crats who voted for the resolution
were Ashurst, Bacon, Bailey, Bryan,
Chamberlain, Culberson, Fletcner, Gard
ner, - Hitchcock, Johnson, Johnston,
Martin, Martine, Newlands, O'Gorman,
Overman, Percy, Pomerene, Reed,
Shively, Simmons, Smith of Arizona,
Smith of Georgia, Smith of Maryland,
Smith of South Carolina, Stone, Swan
son, Thornton and Tillman.
Those Republicans who voted against
the resolution were Borah, Brandegee,
Bristow, Burnhara, Burton, Catron,
Crawford. Cummins, Dupont, Gronna,
Jones, Kenyon, Massey, McLean, Nel
son, Oliver, Page, Perkins, Root, Smith
of Michigan, Smoot, Sutherland and
Townsend.
Personal Character Modified.
Senator Bailey, who Introduced the
resolution, denounced the course ot
President Taft as described tn a letter
the President wrote to Colonel Roose
velt on January 6, 1910, which the
President made public in a recent
speech in the Massachusetts primary.
The original resolution was directed at
Presidential influence of votes on the
right of Senators to retain their seats.
When Senator Bailey concluded he ac
cepted an amendment offered by Sena
tor McCumber striking out words of
condemnation from the resolution and
extending It to other matters within
the exclusive jurisdiction of the Senate.
He also accepted an amendment by
Senator Heyburn, to insert the word
would," so as to make the resolution
more impersonal.
Taft la Defended.
The vote was demanded and for an
instant it appeared that the resolution
as amended would pass unanimously.
At this moment William Alden Smith
took the floor to declare the President
had done nothing improper, and that it
was impossible to disconnect Senator
Bailey's argument from the resolutions.
'Strike out the argument," then Bug- ,
gested Senator Bailey.
'Some of it ought to be and some ot
it may be after consideration," shouted
the Michigan Senator.
Senator Cummins wanted the resolu
tion amended so as to also apply to the
use of the office to influence votes for
or against a bill. He said people
would imply by this omission that such
a practice was approved by the Senate.
He spoke of reports that President?
had warned Senators if they did not
vote in a certain way they would be
considered out of the party.
Cummins Asks for Harmony.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, demanded
that the Senator from Iowa be more
specific
'I make the assertion that sucn nas
occurred," said Mr. Cummins, "and in
the interest of party harmony, I trust
that the Senator will allow the Incident
to be forgotten as fast as the human
memory will permit."
Senator Borah suggested to the
Senate that be had heard that the
legislative branch of the Government
was Intruding on the executive, and
thereupon read at length from Wood-,
row Wilson's book on "Congressional
Government." In that the author
spoke of the prestige of the Presi
dential office having declined and of
Congress as being a big meeting of
idle people who had taken power from
the executive.
