THE MORNING OREGON! AN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 19l. 2 SCENE IN ROSENTHAL MURDER INQUIRY AND TWO FIGURES IN CASE L SCORED BY WHITE Editor Condemns Fight in Higher" Court on Roose velt Electors. Lodge Resolution on Magda lena Bay Makes Po sition Clear. if V KANSAS GU AMERICA WANTS NO POWER NEAR SHORE -a 1 t'f. JAPAN NOT SOLE TARGET United States to Follow Precedent Set by England and Other Na tions In Protecting Its Ap proaches and Shipping. WASHINGTON", July 31. The United States Senate will be asked to act to morrow on Senator Lodge's resolution unanimously adopted today by the for eign relations committee, which would make clear to the world this Nation's position regarding encroachment of for . etgn powers upon the Western Conti nent. The Lodge resolution submitted to the Senate today, affirms that the Unit ed States cannot see "without grave concern" any harbor or advantageous spot In the Western Hemisphere taken over by a foreign government or by a foreign corporation bearing close rela tion to the government, if such occu pancy would threaten the commerce or the safety of the United States. It is the outgrowth of the activity of an American syndicate which sought to sell to a Japanese fishing corporation 4.000.100 acres of land about Alagdalena Bay. in Lower California. Monroe Doctrine Xot Reaffirmed. Leading members of the foreign re lations committee tonight said this defi nition of the attitude of the United States is not a direct reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine, a point to be clearly emphasised in the Senate- but is an announcement by the United States that tt will protect Its "ap proaches and prevent the establishment of foreign naval or military bases at threatening points In this hemisphere. Though the foreign relations com mittee, upon investigation of the Mag dalena Bay project, found that the Japanese government had no connec tion with it. they determined that the Senate should assert its belief that for eign eorporations be not allowed to secure sites in the Western Hemisphere that might later be turned over to their home governments for naval or mili tary bases. Foreign Precedent Followed. Members of the committee point out that the Monroe Doctrine as laid down hy President Monroe in 187S was that this Nation would not permit any for eign power to threaten the safety of or attempt Invasion of an Independent government In the Western Hemis phere. In the Mardalena Bay case It is contended the United States is fol lowing the precedents set by England and other powers In declaring that for eign nations must not secure military or naval footholds where they can threaten the commerce and safety of this country. This position will be taken In the debate in the Senate by the members of the committee. The fact that American traffic through the Panama Canal must pass in front of Magdelena Bay. and that the safety of American shipping and the movement of American battleships in time of war would be seriously threatened by any foreign power es tablished there, makes the place. It is contended, one that could not safely he allowed to pass Into control of a foreign company. Illtchcork Makes Amendment. The resolution was strengthened be fore submission to the Senate to day by an amendment by Senator Hitch cock. Not only does it declare against the purchase of these "advantageous points" by corporatiors wholly foreign, but it covers also American corpora tions, the control of whose stock may have 'passed into foreign hands. State Department officials declined today to discuss the Lodge resolution, assuming the attitude that the depart ment should not interfere with Con gress. The department already has told all it knows of the Magdalena Bay affair, and the opinion has been gen eral that ihe Japanese government, at this time at least, does not purpose to secure control of the harbor. Japan Not Sole Target. This situation, with no real issue in sight, gave rise to the belief that the Lodse resolution Is not directed solely at Japan, but at other powers whose steamship Interests are securing sites for coaling' stations, which, in event of war. might easily be converted Into naval or military bases. In none of these cases does the government ap pear as the titular owner of the coal ing station, but many European steam ship lines are subsidised so that their ships are available as part of the naval forces of their government. Ostensibly called forth by the Magda lena Bay affair, it is believed possible the resolution, if passed, might be found to operate against tracts of land on American soil owned by foreign steamship lines. In this event the question whether its provisions are re troactive would probably result in in volved diplomatic negotiations. MONSTER PLANE ARRIVES Ren net t Machine.

GRIME DETAILS I0LD Police Officer Angry With Men Who Fail to Murder. ROSE AND WEBBER TALK Both Admit Knowing Rosenthal Was to Be Killed Before Night of As sassination Slayers Are Paid Xext Night. (Continued From First PaK.) they declared, said there was no safety until Rosenthal had been killed. In all their previous interviews with the District Attorney, the three men in prison have said that they did not know Rosenthal was to be killed. Today they finally admitted that they not only knew It, but knowing it, went ahead deliberately and made the plans for the murder. The only excuse they offered for not taking any precautions to cover up their tracks was that Becker had as sured them he could protect them and they felt certain that he could. In today's talk with the prisoners the District Attorney learned, for the first time, the exact amount of money paid for the murder, the men who paid It and the time and place where it was paid. One thousand dollars was the amount. It was advanced after the murder hy "Brldgle" Webber in the presence of Lieutenant Becker, who promised to make it good later. Webber turned It over to Rose, who several hours later gav it to Samuel Schepps. Schepps and "Jack" Sullivan, the "newsboy's friend." who is now a prls oner in the Tombs, met "Lefty" Louie and Harry Horowitz, alias "Gyp. the Blood," on the Seventh avenue side of the Times building, near the corner of Forty-third street, at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, July 1, Just 13 hours after these two men had killed Rosenthal. There, less than a stone's throw from the scene of the crime, the money was paid f chem. according to Rose and Webber. High Official Implicated A report reached the Criminal Courts totday that an affidavit had been pre pared positively Implicating a high po lice official in the gambling graft. Dis- dict Attorney Whitman declined te confirm or deny the report. Mayor Gaynor issued a call for a special meeting of the Board of Aider men on Monday next to authorize i committee to investigate police condl tions and the murder of the gambler, Rosenthal. "If it can be proved that Police Lieu tenant Becker Instigated the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the crime cannot be condoned for any exposure of graft that he might be a"ble to produce," said District Attorney Whitman today. Whitman's assertion was by way of answer to talk of immunity for Becker in the event of his disclosing the oper ation of the system. "However," Mr. Whitman added, "It must be presumed that he is Innocent until he is proved guilty." . Cornelius F. Cahalane. inspector in charge of the first police inspection district, took occasion today vehemently to deny he was a party to any under standing between the police and gamb lers, particularly In his district. Speak Ing of Roso and Vallon, Inspector Cahalane said: "They haV'i very good reason to re member me. I drove Rose out of my district when he was located In Fourth street. Vallon I raided five times in side of 11 months. He would move every time he was raided. That's about all I care to say except that the first inspection district Is fifty per cent cleaner now than it was when I took command a short time ago, and If it is not I will resign." More than 50 witnesses will be sub- penaed to appear before the grand jury to tell what they know of alleged nolice blackmail. Th information obtained from Rose, who says he was Becker's collector from gambling houses, will be suseep- slble of proof by the District Attorney. All records of gambling arrests will be closely scrutinized to obtain evi dence In the case, and Whitman is in possession of a list of names of big and little gamblers given him by Rose, who, in his accusations against Becker, said that when the police lieutenant took charge of the "strong arm" squad, he asked for the names of gamblers who could be made to give up for po lice protection. " Rose says Becker took the list and determined how much money each gam bler was to be assessed for the privi lege of doing business unmolested. Some gamblers, Rose said, paid as high as 500 per month, while the little fel lows got by with anywhere from o0 to $100 a month. Meanwhile, Becker, a prisoner in the Tombs, is saying nothing, and there is no confirmation of the report.lhat his defense will be that the three gamblers, Rose, Vallon and Webber, finding the case going against them, got together and "framed" the story that would in volve Becker. "Big Jack" Seelig, to whom Rose said he sent word tj get the men to slay Rosenthal, will appear when wanted. His counsel has told the pub lic prosecutor that Seelig would tell everything he knew of the case. Seelig is now on $10,000 ball for carrying con cealed weapons. The alleged assassins of Rosenthal Harry Horrowitz, or "Gib the Blood," "Lefty" Louie and "Whitey" Lewis are stitll at large. "Dago Frank" Cirofico is in custody. ES EM FRIKXDS OP- SO YEARS ES TRANGED IX DEAL. Hawaiian Planter Who Came Around Horn With Spreckela Tells How Competition Caused Break. SAN FRANCISCO, July 31. A human touch was given today to the sugar combine when John Buck, Hawaiian planter and sugar manufacturer, told how his entrance Into the refined sugar business caused him to sacrifice the friendship of the late Claus Spreckels, once the sugar king of the West Buck left New York with Spreckels nearly 50 years ago and came around the Horn with him to San Francisco. He entered his employ in the manufacture of bone black, used in sugar refining, and left his position before a year had passed. Then he went to Honolulu, started his own business in the bone black trade and eventually acquired plantation property. He was soon the head of a company that manufactured raw sugar and sold It to the Spreckels refinery. Business was so good that Buck and his associ ates ventured into the water sugar and refined sugar business, entering the California and Missouri River markets. "I came to see Claus Spreckels about the business." Buck Raid, "and he told me that I had no right to enter the re fined field. I had been selling his bone black and raw for 30 years. He told me that I- was not doing the right thing." "When you started to make white sugar you intended to enter the Cali fornia field in competition with Spreck els, didn't you?" asked Attorney Dunne. "I did," Buck replied. "That made the old man Spreckels pretty angry, didn't it?" "Yes, It did." "And Claus Spreckels, the man with whom you came around the Horn and the man who gave you your first Job, ceased speaking to you, didn't he?" "He never spoke to me after that In terview. He told me that If I went into the business he would see to it that I lost money." 0LC0TT WILLSPARE DOGS Xo Authority Found to Order Whole sale Killing. SALEM. Or., July 31. (Special.)

"I have received a letter from William Allan White," said Colonel Roosevelt today, "making a strong statement in regard to the effort of regulars in Kansas, in making an appeal to the Federal court to reverse, the action of the Kansas state Judges as to the de cision allowing Roosevelt electors to be on the Republican ballot. "The Taft men,' Mr. White write, "headed by Mulvane, who was rear breakman on the Chicago steam roller, are now taking the case before Judge Pitney, of the Federal Supreme Court, on the Constitutional question involved In the fourteenth amendment, which guarantees to every man his political rights." "The Kansas people feel that the ap peal cannot be successful and that is a fresh illustration of the wicked way in which the effort Is made to twist the -constitution so as to cause It to protecto privilege against the people, instead of to protect the people against privilege. "This is an effort by Mr. Taft's man agers in Kansas to use the Supreme Court to deny the people of Kansas the right to a referendum under the Kansas laws, as to what was done in the Chicago convention, Kansas being the only state In the union In which a referendum may be had at a legally conducted primary."

Organization Is Conceived in "Lie and Treachery." WASHINGTON. July 31. Represen tative Bartholdt (Republican), of Mis souri, made an attack upon Colonel Roosevelt in the House today in a speech defending President Taft's nom ination Colonel Roosevelt, he said, had gone to the Chicago convention, "when he was no longer at heart a Re publican." "In the light of later events we know that Mr. Roosevelt never Intended to abide by the decision of the convention, except he himself should be the nomi nee. Yes, and we can go further and say when he made up his mind to vio late all American traditions of political decency and go to Chicago, at that very moment he knew he was beaten, but expected to save the day by per sonal appeals to the delegates through persuasion, promises, coercion or threats." "But he came with treachery in his heart and fully determined to bolt if things went against him. The cry of fraud was premeditated, and the shame less ejaculation, 'thieves,' with which he shocked his audience on his entrance Into Chicago, was the battle cry of the new party. "If the National Committee had heed ed the injunction, 'Thou shalt not steal' 'except for me.' all would have been well, but Its determination to do its work conscientiously brougrht all the prearranged plans of party treachery to full fruition. "A new party was born, but Is it not bound to be still-born? "Can a party live, or ought It to live, when ltg birthright Is a lie?"
