THREE ARRESTS
FOLLOW KILLING
NEW YORK POLICE ARE BUSY
ROUNDING UP SUSPECTS IN
MURDER CASE.
AN ALLEGED CONFESSION
Exposed-VictIm Feared Be-
cause Of His
Charges.

New York, July 17.-Through the
alleged confession Of man under ar
rest, the names of seven men were
believed to be in the hands of the po'
lice as participants in the sensation
al killing early Tuesday of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, just as he
was presumably about to make import
tant addition to his recent disclosure
Of alleged partnership between police
officials and members of the gambling
fraternity. Additional arrests are ex-
pected.
According to District Attorney Whit
man, Rosenthal was about to name
gamblers who could corroborate his
assertions regarding police collision
with men Of his calling.
That such shaking up IN gamb-
ling circles was not relished by men
who might be involved was apparent,
1t develops from talk among members
of elmer circles" in the tenderloin
which began as soon as Rosenthal's
/ purpose became known. Threats were
made Monday, 1t is declared, that
things would fare i'll for Rosenthal
II he pressed his charges.
Say He Was Threatened.
IF Rosenthal doesn't quit within
the next few days we will get him
and get him for keeps" was re-
mark Of member of a poker party
at an east side association outing Sun
day reported by a man who declares
he overheard it, to District Attorney
Whitman.
Up to a late hour, the police had
given no inkling of the man who made
the alleged confession. During the day
three men were arrested in connection
with the murder OF Rosenthal. Louis
Libbey, part owner, it is alleged of
the automobile containing the party Of
men who shot the gambler dead. was
one of the trio. The police declare
they are assured he was the driver Of
the motor car and have charged him
with homicide.
His partner in ownership Of gar
age, VIM. Shapiro, is another prisoner
held as q material witness. So is .
man whose identity the police hide
under the name Of John Doe" who
was declared to have been near the
scene of the shooting. Instead of fear
ing harm at the hands of the gambling
fraternity, Rosenthals chief dread, it
Is declared, was police enmity be-
cause Of his charges against men,
Der of the force.
"The police will get me because they
have system Of always putting i'm
portant witnesses out of the way. Bet
ter men than have been put out of
the way for daring to squeal on the
police" is q statement attributed to
the gambler, made shortly before he
met death.

The triumphs of the day were divid-

en-, scored a number of points in
wrestling and aquatic sports in which

Send Wilson Some Money

The Philadelphia North American
calls Woodrow Wilson's nomination ,
miracle, because he had the opposition
of every political machine in the ma
ton, of every agent of the predatory,
of all the big interests centered in
Wall street. and was without means to
make a campaign. So considered it
was miracle-a political miracle.
Governor Wilson is going into the
presidential campaign without money
and with firm determination not to &C.
cept contributions from questionable
sources, nor from approved sources in
large amounts.
What has pleased him more than
anything else since his nomination is
the fact that unnumbered persons have
sent him money in sums of from $40 to
$500 for his campaign fund.
Governor Wilson secured the nomi-
nation without making pledge of pay
ment of any kind. He got it after he
had turned down Watterson, come to
him as the representative of Ryan
with proposal to finance his cam
paign.
He got it after he had declared that
the so-called Money Trust presents the
greatest danger of today and after he
had declared his opposition to the
scheme concocted by the big interests
in the Aldrich bill to secure to them
selves control of the money and the
credit of the nation.
He got it after he had refused to
make deals.
He will obtain election by no other
means. He will depart not a hairs
breath from his determination to be
freed of all obligations except to the
people of the nation.
This being true, the money to run
his campaign must come from the peo-
pie themselves in small amounts.
You are one of the people. If you
are against administering the affairs
of this government for the benefit of
the few you ought to be willing to
make some contribution towards Sc
curing what you want.
Send Wilson some money, now! He
needs it and the nation needs him.

to pure food and drugs, all mark sue
cessful progress of republican admins
tration and are additional evidence Of
Economy and Emcisncy.
We commend the earnest effort of the
republican administration to secure
greater economy and increased efficiency
in the conduct of government business;
,eXtravagant appropriations and the Gre
alton of unnecessary offices are an in
justice to the taxpayer and bad ex-
ample to the citizen.
Civic Duty.
We call upon the people to quicken
their interest in public affairs to con-
denim and punish lynchings and other
forms of lawlessness and to strengthen
IN all ways respect for law and the
observance of it. Indifferent citizenship
is an evil from which the law affords
no adequate protection, and for which
legislation can provide no remedy
We congratulate the people of Arizona
and New Mexico upon the admission Of
those states, thus merging in the union
in final and enduring form the last re-
naming portion of our continental ter
ritOry.
Republican Administration.
We challenge successful criticism Of
the fifteen years Of republican admins
tration under President Mckinley,
the endorsement of President Mckinley,
contained in the platform of 900 and Of
1904 and that of President Roosevelt
contained in the platforms of 1904 and
1908.
We invite the intelligent judgment of
the American people upon the admins
tration of William II. Taft
The country has proSpered and been
at peace under his presidency. During
the years in which he had the co-opera-
ton of a republican congress, an unex-
ampled amount of constructive legis-
lation was framed and passed in the in
terest of the people and in obedience to
their wish. That legislation is a record
of which any administration might ap-
peal with confidence to the favorable
Judgment of history.
We appeal to the American electoral
upon the record of the republican party,
and upon this declaration of it's prin-
ciples and purposes. We are confident
that under the leadership of the candi-
dates here to be nominated our appeal
will not be in vain; that the republican
party will meet every just expectation
of the people, whose servant it is; that
under it's administration and it's laws
our nation will continue to advance: that
peace and prosperity. will abide with the
people and that new glory will be added
to the great republic.
