New York, N. Y. July 25-Efforts
to discover the identity of the man
who plotted gambler Rosenthal's
death have been baked for the time
by the failure of the police to round
up the gang to which they are thought
to belong.
With the exception of Harry Val

today its investigation into the gamb-

murder case. The first he counted
when John J. Reisler, otherwise
known as John B. Barber" previous
to the arraignment on perjury

"Bridgie' Webber's connection with
the case. The second even more i'm.
portant, came in the announcement
that William Shapiro, chauffeur OF
the murder car" would turn state s
evidence, telling all he knew about the
case this afternoon. Shapiro's state
ment is expected to do much toward
fixing the responsibility for Rosen
thal's murder.
Reisler's affidavit stated that he ant
his wife were near Hotel Metropole
on the night of the killing.
II went over to where Rosenthal's
body was lying and observed Bridge

GATHERING OF FOLLOWERS OF The new
PARTY At THE COURT HOUSE SELECTS
AFULL DELEGATION TO GO TO kLBU.
0UERQUE

The county mass convention of the
Progressive party met in the court
house at 2:30 this afternoon as per
call
The representation was general
throughout the county, different sec
tions being represented and the in
terest shown was strong, and spirit
encouraging. Even in spite of the
time of year, which is not propitious
for gatherings of any kind, and espec-
tally those political, the meeting was
a success. Many among the farming
community would have been present
had not the harvesting of crops held
them at home.
The meeting was called to order by
Colonel George w. Prichard, the
county chairman, who said that there
were a number who would like to
attend, but We're detained with bust
ness matters, and would be in later
Ursulo Borrego said it was an oc-
casion when all the friends of the
movement should be present and in
order to give them an opportunity to
attend, he made motion that the
meeting recess to $3.50, which motion
prevailed.
At $3.50, on reassembling, Col.
Prichard called to order. He said it
was not a time for speech making
but for action and he would not at
tempt an address; that the gathering
was mass meeting and not dele
gate convention. Had it been the
latter, every precinct in the county
would be fully represented.
| The meeting then proceeded to ell
/ ect chairman and secretary, the
unanimous choice being Ex-Governor
! NJ A. Otero as chairman and B. F
Morris as secretary. The following
were chosen as delegates to the state
+. convention to be held at Albuquerque
July 20: N. A. Otero, Bronson NJ. Cut
ting, Antonio Valdez, David Gonzales
G. w. Prichard, Fred Muller, UrsulC
Borrego, Gregorio Herrera.
1t was decided to leave to the state
convention entirely the resolutions
setting forth the policies of progres
sivism and deemed best to presen
none at today's gathering. AS the New
Mexican goes to press the only re
naming work of the meeting wal
the selection of a county chairman
and secretary, and of committed
member from each county precinct.

1t was in the coke regions that the

Pittsburg, Pa. July 25.-Death and
desolation spread broadcast over the
southwest counties Of Pennsylvania
Yesterday and last night through
cloudbursts and overfowing streams.
Three score or more lives are the
toll, while the damage to homes and
industries can not be estimated.
Fifteen lives were lost in Superba
Mine No. 2, near Uniontown, seventy
five miners narrowly escaped death,
while from many other sections come
reports of lives lost by the mountain
torrents rushing into mine slopes.
Hundreds of families deserting homes
in a mad rush for safety on the noun
tain sides sought shelter beneath
improvised shacks and tents, toward
the construction of which every avail
able piece of debris was turned to
account. At day break shivering wo-
men and children gazed over the
scene of desolation in the upper YOU
ghiogheny valley and as the waters
receded upturned dwellings, shatter-
ed buildings and crumbled piles OF
mortar were held in a conglomorated
mass by a railroad bridge or trestle
or the progress of the debris had
been inpeded by some larger and
stauncher building. Rain had ceased
falling some hours earlier but the
heavy precipitation soon made the
usually dry beds of mountain streams
veritable cataracts.
Dunbar. near Connellsville, was
inundated. The waters ragged through
the main streets, upsetting massive
structures and endangering the lives
o. hundreds of persons.
A cloudburst was the cause.
The Turtle Creek Valley was visit
ed by a disastrous flood and the
damage is enormous. Crops were
blotted from the eartn.
Railroad traffic through a great ter
ritory is demoralized. With four con
nections into Uniontown, the Pennsly
vania was unable to get passenger
into the city earlier today. Several
railroad bridges of that system and
the Baltimore and Ohio were torn
from foundations thought impregnable
and hurled into the maddened waters
