Whitman Will Mot Press Graft
Charges Urttil Gambler's Murder
Mystery In Untangled
NEW YOltK, Aug. 2 Charged
with being ono of the four assassins
who slew, (Inmbler Herman Rosen
thal In front of the New Mctropolo
Hotel hero on the morning of July
1C, "Whlley Lewis," whoso real
name Is Frank Bledcnahue. Is being
sweated today by Deputy Police Com
missioner Dougherty as to his knowl
edge of the crime which has con
vulsed New York.
"Lowls" Is tho second of tho al
leged assassins raptured. "Dago
Frank" Clroflcl was first. "Lefty
Louie" (Loulso Itowisewelg) and
Harry Horrowltx (Oyp tho Blood),
tho other two who are alleged to
havo killed Rosenthal at tlio com
mand of Police Llmitennnt Charles
Becker, are still at large. Tho polico
declare both of them were with
"Lowla" near Flelschmann, N. Y..
whero he was captured Inst night,
and that they are sure soon to be
taken.
Waldo Wakci Up
Stirred by tho widespread criticism
of tho DOltco bIhco the Rosenthal mur
der and by tho declaration of District
Attorney Whltmon that If ho wishes
to rehabilitate theredlt of tbo force
ho will catch Rosenthal's slayers.
Commissioner Rhlnelandor Waldo
sent out a general order today to his
10,000 men. and specifically stated to
his Inspectors, that Horrowltz and
Rosenscwelg must bo caught at onco.
Failure ho threatened, would result
In a cloan vcop f the detective bu
reau and tho Installation of new
men, "who will get results."
Basing his action on tho truism
"murder Is worso than graft," Dis
trict Attorney Whitman let It bo
known todny that, until tho slayers
of Rosenthal nro found and their
guilt established, ho will not press
further tho polico grafting charges
already made.
To Convict Becker
Tho full strength of his forces,
which Includo tho William J. Burns
Detective Agency, will bo used to
connect with tho Rosenthal plot Po
lico Lieutenant Becker, tho nllogod
planner of tho crime; Rose, Vallon
and Wobbor. his alleged gambler
toola; Shapiro and Ltbby. owners of
tho "murder automobile;" Jacjc Sul
livan, tho alleged betrayer of Rosen
thal to his 8layera, and tho four
gangsters who aro alleged to havo
dono tho actual killing.
Reports that "Dago Frank" Clro
flcl, tho enptured thug, had con
fessed to Whitman were denied to
day. "Whltoy Lowls," tho latest
capture, when taken, also doclarcd
that ho was not In New York tho
night Rosenthal was killed, and so
far tho caso of Whitman rests large
ly on tho tho eonfesslona of Rose,
Webbor and Vallon, who havo Impli
cated Becker and tho gangsters taken
and sought as tho actual movors In
tho crime.

Master Fish Warden Clanton In
spects Conditions at Ament and
Gold Ray and Proceeds to Carry
Out Instructions of State ,
Engineer Foster Drawing Plans
Which Will Make Two Ladders at
Each End of the Dam
Master Fish Warden R. E. Clan
ton, and Chief Deputy Sam Sandry
ot Roguo River accompanied by En
gineer Harry Foster went to Gold
Ray Friday to locate and draw up
plans and estimates for a now :Ish
ladder to bo constructed on the south
side of the dam, which was ordcrad
by the state g.-.mo and fish commis
sioner some time since, but which it
was Impossible to begin work on un
til low water.
This ladder will tnatfo two fliV
ways at the dam and provide an
easy way for tho flah to got above
the obstruction and end for all time
the volume of protests that has
poured Into the commission for years.
The California-Oregon Power Co.,
present owners of the power plants,
have agreed to construct the ladder
under supervision of the state au
thorities, but submitted another pro
position namely tho raising of the
dam at the south Bide to force the
current over the north face of the
dam. and thus avoid a second ladder.
This proposal has not roet the ap
proval o"f tho fish warden and the
company will bo ordered, to carry
out the Instructions ot the commis
sion. But little excavation will be seed
ed for the new fish ladder, which
will be built of concrete and'eost ap
proximately S1500. At the same
time tho present fishway will be
repaired, the flood of last winter
having carried out some of the con
croto wall.
Mr. Clanton also Inspected and
approved the new flah ladder con
structed at the Ament dam, giving
two flahways at thiB structure, with
a. third available through the dam.
A largo run of flah la reported at
tho mouth of the river and five de
puties are kept busy patrolling for
poachers. Several nets have been,
seized and arrests are expected.
Sentiment at the mouth of tho river
Is against tho -poachers, as the peo
plo hope by law enforcement, to se
cure an amendment to tho presont
law, permitting salmon fishing to be
resumed. ,
