When Reisler was arrested for per-

After the hearing, when Weber was
taken into an anteroom, he was al

nation now in the hands OF the authori-

llcved TO be ono of the gangsters
wanted, az the Fort Lowry Hotel, at
Bath Beach, with them. while he was
running back and forth between ehe
city and the beach on the days just
preceding Rosenthals murder.
The manager Of the Fort Lowry
Hotel partially confirmed the story late
last night. when called on the telephone
by a Tribune reporter. He said that
Mrs. Weber and Miss Sadie Probst. her
sister, had been at the hotel for a few
days about week ago last Thursday.
WAS 'Bridgic' Weber there with
thcm?" he was asked.
NO. don't think so.' he replied.
"'Brldgio' has been here, back and
forth, but not to stop here. and al
though he was around the hotel about

didn't stay here overnight. lie hasn't
been horc for any length of time for
several months"
The manager would not say whether
any one was with Mrs. Weber nd Miss
Probst while they were at the hotel
two weeks ago.
From the various stories that came
to Whitman and the police during the
day. however. II seemed that at least
three of the men wanted by the police,
Lefty Louie" Sam" Schepps and
Harry Horowitz. are and probably have
been continuously since the murder in
and around the city. and not even
stunning public places.

Philadelphia, July "a motor boat
containing four men and headed
toward Europe was sighted far out on

passengers OF tho steamship Pretoria,

nails were displayed he proceeded with
out asking the boats destination.

say may be the motor boat Detroit,
bound from New, York to Queenstown,

From The Tribune Buresu.

Washington. July i.-With evidence
OF much internal strife the Democrats
of the House. in caucus tonight Tor
the third time went on record hs the
opponents Of an adequate navy. by a
vote of 20 10 - the caucus refused 20
permit the confcrrces on the naval ap-
preparation bill 80 accept the Senate
amendment authorizing two battle
ships. nor would II accept the compro-
mise suggestion Of one bsttleship.
REPRESENTATIVE Padgett, chairman OF
the Naval Affairs Committee, offered a
resolution for one battleship. The res
olution was tabled after wrangling
which continued for almost two hours.
Representatives. Sulzer, Levy and
Others then sought 10 obtain the adop-
ton Of a resolution permitting Demo
Gratis 10 vote each according to their
own views when the conference report
is brought into the House. This res
olution was tabled on the same vote
which defeated tho Padgett resolution,
and also the Broussard resolution for
two battlcships.
The larger navy advocates quoted the
Democratic platform as voicinG the
stand of the party IN favor OF an ade-
ouate navy The House economists,
led by Representative Fitzgerald
chairman OF the Appropriations COM
nittec. asserted the platform did not
bind the Houye 10 authorize new ships

Those who favored battleships. in

the refusal OF the caucus to permit
members To exercise their own judg-
n,rnt ia voting on tho naval bill con-
ference report The caucus action
binds all save those who were excused
n; the original caucus from supporting
the caucus decree.
Representative Burnett. Of Alabama

House majority. Mr.. Burnett became
angry several months ago, when tho
csucus rcC,ised 10 sanction a public

other members of the Public Buildings
Committee vowed there would be nC
battleship authorization unless the
