"Bald Jack" Rose, gambler, held for complicity In Rosenthal murder,
who has made startling confession,
from the new" stand the first shot was
fired. Walker Insisted that the slayers
then ran to the automobile In waiting
and escaped with it at full speed. This
story contradicts the testimony of Wil

stalled the motor of the car in an effort
to delay the escape of the gangsters.

Fearful that Becker, desperate, will
commit suieide in the Tombs rather
than "squeal" on his partners in the
alleged grafting, Warden Hanlcy is
keeping a constant watch on him, and
even Becker's wife and his attorneys
are -carefully searched before they are
permitted to enter the cell. Hanley say
openly he "Intends to take no chances
on Becker committing suicide."
Admitting that he probably wIM be
unable to convict Becker on the unsup

to ship by way of Seattle.
Though regular freight rates to Japan
are supposed to be $3 a ton, so great
is the demand for apace that Seattle
shippers are now paying $5 a ton. With
a differential against them in addition
to this, the cost to Portland shippers
would be at least $5.50 a ton and per

Publlratlon of the names of three po
lice officials to have been named by
Rose, Vallon and We"bber to Whitman
came today when the district attorney
specifically denied that he would call
before the grand jjury Lieutenants

Jury testimony will mean practical Im
munity for any of those- testifying.
Whitman s denial Is significant.
Inspector Cahalane. In an interview,
made it plain that he had been apeclfic
ally named by the "three confessors."
He denied that he had at any time ac
cepted graft from the gamblers and de
clared that Rose and Vallon had named
him In their statements, because he had
raided, their resorts at different times,
Prisoners Deny Charge.
Both Lorenio and Contento deny
that they killed Verella because he wts
a "squealer." They say they were drink
ing in Verella's cafe and became noisy.
Then, they say, Verella, attacked them
with a revolver. They assert that an
other man seised the weapon, shot
Yerelia and fled. This story is seoutjd
by the police and It la feared other
killings will follow.
Bo fearful are Rose, Vallon and Web
ber, that a bullet will seal their llpa.
that they today sent a new message to
District Attorney Whitman begging him
to keep them under guard.
It Is understood that Attorney Hart,
for Becker, plans to call a dosen wit

are left absolutely at the mercy of the
ship owners, and whether there happen
to be few or mnny ships in the market.
If few ships, the rate for charter may
be very high.
'To build up and keep a regular trade,
there must be regular tariffs which the
shippers can depend upon, juat aa they
can depend on the regular calling of
the ships. To Insure this, the steamship
line must be owned.
Has Every Advantage,
"Portland has every advantage as a
seaport, but It muat act to keep In step
wtth the other Paclflo coast cities. Once
let the trade get away, and It will not
return. A line to the orient should
be established at once. In my opinion.
It should not be a municipally owned
line, but It should be owned In Portland
with steamship ' men of wide experi
ence at Its head. The campaign to raise
funds to establish such a line Is a laud
able one."
The situation In Seattle, where local
shippers right now are having great
difficulty In getting space In the ori
ental steamers, while outside shippers
have almost no chance at all, adds so
much to the gravity of the situation
here that business mm are urging that
