'sJGERS WAS KILLED
 ON BELGIAN SOIL
No International Complaints Likely to Result From
 the Incident

London, August 21.-The death of the elephant poacher and illicit ivory trader. James Ward Rogers native of WayIand, Mich, while being pursued by Capt c. " Fox, an officer of the British army in the Egyptian service In central Africa, is not likely to re- suit in international complaints. The British foreign office has not so far re- ceived any communication from the United States government and the in- cident is considered closed as far as Great Britain and Belgium are con- eerned. It is stated at the foreign office today that Rogers companions whose names are Pierce and Lane, are British subjects.
 Rogers death occurred on Belgian territory and when Captain Fox became aware. of that fact he promptly sent a report to the nearest Belgian fort and apologized for his mistake. Belgian force escorted Captain Fox to the boundary and took charge of the pris- oners, who included Pierce and Lane Officials of the foreign office believe that these were afterward released but nave no onicidi aiiiioi nla.'oh " s'''e'' effect Pierce was the man who wa' given the title of doctor. although il appears doubtful that he was medical man.
 hundred natives were also taken prisoners and handed over to the Bel gians. It Is reported that Rogers was wounded by one of his own natives in the course of skirmish with Captain Fox's advance scouts. Captain Fox re- moved the bullet from the wound and nursed Rogers for four days until his death.

CONFIRM REPORT OF
 CAPTURE OF MENA
Wireless Message Says the Liberals Have Rebel Gen.
 eral in Prison

New Orleans, August 21-That Gen. Luis Mena, leader of the revolutionists in Nic- aragua, had been imprisoned by members Of the liberal party in Leon was the infor- nation conveyed n a wireless message to- day from Blueiieds to Juan J. Zavaa, Nicaraguan consul here. While Consul zavala said that the message was only 'semi-offcial," he expressed confidence in the truth of the report. Local sympa- thizers of General Mena, however. were quick to challenge it. declaring it un- likely that news of such an occurrence, If 1t had actually taken place, would have come first by way of Bluefields, and that at this time nothing would be gained in the Imprisonment of Mena by members of the liberal party opposing him.
 r The time and circumstances of Mena s reported Imprisonment were not stated in the aerogram to the consul.
 Rumors of an impending uprising of members of the liberel party have been current for some time though General lrias who was one of the chief aides of former President Zelaya of Nicaragua, and who has been looked upon as a probable leader of the liberal faction should it seek to seize the reins of gov ernment Is reported to have been absent flor several months in Costa Riea
 rhe imprisoninsnt of Mena by tie m. erals, if Is pointed out, might indicate that Irias was about to return, or had | already returned to Nicaragua Tn such ] an event the situation might resolve itself Into a renewal of the old fight of the conservatives against the liberals. with lrias and Diaz as the respective heads of the opposing forces.

NARROW ESCAPE
 ORV|LLE WRIGHT

Dayton, ohio. August 21.-Orville Wright lost control of a hydro-aero- plane with which he was making an experimental flight today and plunged into the Miami river. That he was not seriously hurt doubtless is due to the fact that he was only 15 or 20 feet over the water when he fell and at a point where the water is shallow.
 Contrary to the decision of him and his late brother, Wilbur. that they would not attempt flights again, or vile essayed to try out the new ma chine The craft seemingly was dip ping and turning at the will of the inventor when. on short turn, 1t tumbled into the water.
 only part of the machine was sub merged and MT. Wright saved himself from a complete ducking by holding onto a part of the craft. He received a severe blow over the eye in the fall, but otherwise was not injured.

 The prosecutor in a formal statement said
 T am now ili a position to offer re- ward of s5ooo for the apprehension of Louis Rosenberg, or Rosenweig, alias Lefty Louie" and Harry Horowitz, alias 'Gyp the Blood," or s25oo for the apprehension of either. This reward IS not offered to any members of the police department of the city of New York or anybody in the employ of the police de- partnent and will not be paid any such member or to any of the police depart nents employees,
 "In talxing this position I am actuated by no feeling of unlindness toward the police department. but it is my belief that if proper police work had been done these men would now be in custody. The city of New York is payng millions of dollars annually to the police depart ment whose duty 1t is to detect crime and apprehend criminals, and l cannot es- cape the conclusion that some members of the police department have known, if they do not now know the where about of these murderers.H

 be arraigned for pleading tomorrow morn

Whether Becker or one of the alleged actual slayers of Rosenthal will | be first brought to trial is undecided. | but 1t seems probable now the police lieutenart's case will be heard first. The
 first trial is expected 10 begin about Sep- | tember 15. Justice Golf, appointed by Governor Dix to make a thorough in- vestigatlon of the graft situation. and ! to preside at the trials will convene a special term of the supreme court on

 1 The news from Washington that Will l liam J. Flynn, chief of the New York
 division of the United States secret
 service. was to assist the graft inves- l tigatlon of the aldermsnic committee caused sensation in police circles here
 tonight. Flynn was for six months head
 of the detective bureau. the position
 now held by Deputy Commissioner
 Dougherty His publicly stated reason | for resigning was that his powers had been curtailed and his efforts to. close | up gambling resorts had been inter 1 fered with. He declared there were
 several high police officials who were
 crooks and that when he had given
 evidence of their dishonesty to his su- periors nothing was done.
 | New York, August 2l--Before Sam Schepps told his story of the Rosenthal murder conspiracy to the district attorney he obtained written assurance that he

Citizens Donate Reward


 The generosity of private citizens made it possible for the district attorney to offer the reward Circulars describing the two men will be sent broadcast throughout the country. The district at torney's office Is not provided with funds for this purpose, and the prosecutor has more than once expressed his surprise that no reward for the capture of these men has been offered
 One Of the district attorneys reasons Tor suspeetihg that the police have a!- lowed the two to escape was indicated tonight when 1t became known that Sam Schepps in his testimony before the grand jury yesterday said that three detec- tives from New York police beadquar- ters had recognized him while he was hiding in Fallsburg. N. Y, and had de- liberatey allowed him to escape. Schepps told the Jury, it is understood, that he and the detectives knew each other well and that they had accepted his facetious declaration that he was MT. smith with mock apologies for disturbing him. Further details of Schepps' testimony involving Police Lieutenant Becker were
 
 a go-between for Rose and Becker swore that he frequently had stopped at the police lieutenants house and narrated 1 conversations which he had with Becker which the district attorney believes points to Becker's alleged determination to get rid of Rosenthal.
 l On one occasion. 1t is understood the | witness said while he was talking with l Becker in the latter's parlor, the lieu ! tenant said: Don't strike fl match, sam 1 You're being watched and somebody might see you here from the outside. On another oeason Schepps declared that Becker, in speaking of Rosenthai, said :"Tm glad he is out of the way. The cur should have been killed long ago No one cares about Rosenthal any way
 Becker, the witness testified further, told him to tell Rose. then in hiding, not to give himself up.
