GRAND JURY TO HEAR COMPLETE STORY OF
 ESSENTIALS MURDER
Dago Frank Cirofici Ready to Tell All He
 Knows About Crime

New York, Aug. That the grand jury will be told the complete story of the actual murder of Herman Rosenthal. gambler, by one who ac- lively participated in it, was admitted at the district attorneys office this afternoon. The latest to collafse IS ssDago Frank Cirofici. He broke dow= completely in his cell after hav- ing been positively identified by three witnesses to the murder and sent word to District Attorney Whitman that he was willing to tell all if he was called to the witness chair.
 He claims the actual shooting was done by either Lefty Louie" or sTWhitey'' Lewis. It was reported that if he told all of his story that he would be permitted to plead to sec- ond degree murder and so escape tho chair. His testimoR would aid ths district attorney in completing his case against the others.
 District Attorney Whitman expected today to interview probably the most important witness in the entire Rosen- thai murder conspiracy. He was sam Schepps, who rode about all of the night before Rosenthal was slain with Jack Rose and heard the bargaining with the experts.
 Schepps. Whitman also has been in 1QTUS4. one man about how police graft was collected in the downtown section. The district attorney was hoping that he might be able to furnish information that would enable the prosecution to get the independent evidence neces- sary to have Rose, Webber and Val Ion's stories admitted as evidence against Police Lieutenant Becker. sDaxo Frank Cirofici was expected to confess to the entire killing. De- lspite his claims that he can prove an alfhi, the district attorney claims to have positive proof that he was one of those at the door of the Metropoie when Rosenthal was shot down. The lprosecutor believes Cirofici will be .TviIlfnR to tell everything he knows if lperrnitted to plead guilty to second &egree murder. thus escaping the iChair.
 : F-rf his testimony would not help ;klle case against Becker. Under the famous conspiracy decision Of the Su- Ipreme Court of the United Staes, the testimony of co-conspirator must De corro5orated completely from an ln- dependent source. Whitman believes Etfat. if he can show motive he will lssave the additional evidence necessary lto make the story of the other prin- tcipals in the murder material, but he lie not certain and will offer imnanffy ito Schepps for evidence along tnas line
 Meanwhile Whitman was today fol- flowing up the allegation Of Rose. lWebber and VaIlon that Becker had lordsred them to murder Rosenthal 10 Idays before he was actually killed. and that only the fact that the gun men chosen to kill the gambler dis lcovered that they were being shadow ed by private detectives prevented the killing at that time. He will also sfry to trace the s1,O00 which Vallon says he paid to the quartet who shot ERosenthal.

TAFT FORMALLY NOTIFIED
 HE'S REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
EIihu Root Makes Notification Speech and
 President Makes 10000 Word Reply

Washington, Aug. 1.-President Taft learned today that. he is the nominee of the Republican party for presiden- tial honors The national Republican conventions notification committee performed their perfunctory function in ceremony remarkable for it's in- formality.
 Senator Elihu Root who, as chair man of the convention. headed the notification committee, rendered the nomination in a brief speech striking at Roosevelt for his charge of stolen delegates and glowingly commenting Taft for his administration.
 The President replied with a 10000 word keynote speech, outlining the is- sues of the campaign as he saw them and bitterly assailing "demagogy, fraud and misrepresentation against himself and his administration. He did not mention Roosevelt by name in his entire speech but dubbed the Col onel and his followers as former Re- publicans who have left their party where he did not couple them with adjectives of denunciation. The Pres ident formally accepted the nomina- tion with profound gratitude to the Republican party"
 The speechnaking took place in the spacious east room of the White House. The original plan had been for the President to speak on the lawn. The possibility of indictment weather led to the change.
 The notification committee-one rep resentative from each state-met at the executive chamber at il o'clock and marched in a body to the big ball room There they were met by the President and Mrs. Taft-the Presi- dent smilingly ready to receive the ex- pected news of hfs renOminat1on. Charley Taft, the Presidents young est son, was the only other member of the family present. President and Mrs. Taft submitted to a battery of photographers and then the speeches began.
 The east room held nearly 1000 in- vited guests-cabinet officers, members of Congress prominent citizens and political friends. They were grouped about informally. Following the ex- change of speeches, a reception line was started toward the President and Mrs. Taft. A buffet luncheon was then served.
 Every move in the notification cer- arnonies was perpetuated by four nov ing picture machines. The picture companies were granted special per- mission to take the movies" and LnG1F Op6IdtOES WEI v AASL1 OAA " They started in with the arrival or the notification committee at the ex- keclIfiye offices and ground away al their cameras during the parade over the White House lawn and through the subsequent ceremonies. Four oth- CT cameras were set at points of van- tage in tht east room and these clicked away induatriously during the greater part of the notification and the recep- tiod. brief and formal. but he laid parti- cular stress on the point that Tafts title to the nomination was as clear and unimpeaclnable as the title of any candidate of any party since pontlcaI Conventions began and that he twas regularly and duly nominated.
 Referring to the Roosevelt bolt, Root said:

what they really are, if they defeat the Taft electors at the primary how then will the Taft people of Kansas be represented at the November cleo tion?''
 We have no right to assume that they will defeat the Taft men and be elected said Jackson
 Well, then, there would be no harm in supposing their running if they could not be elected" said vandevan- ter, and q general laugh followed
 Even if there is a new party form ed,' continued Jackson. 'T would like to ask you, Justice Vandevanter. whether there is any law to prevent the Republicans of Kansas voting for it's candidate?"
 Certainly there is not" said the justice, tbut there ought to be law to prevent the Roosevelt men stealing the Taft electors to elect their own candidate."
 Jackson then explained that Kansas was entitled to 10 electors. "Is it not a fact that the real issue here is whether the Taft or the Roosevelt fac tion in Kansas is entitled to the pres tige of the regular Republican organi- zation?' asked Justice Pitney.
 "Yes, that is the question" said Jackson. Tt is whether the Kansas Republicans are to have for their can- dtdate Taft or Roosevelt
 Yes, but it also seems to be whether Roosevelt is to run as a Republican Or as the candidate of a new party" said Vandevanter.
 ''But under the Kansas laws, Roose- welt must run as q Republican," ex- plained Jackson. '"The time for a new party has expired under the state law as petitions could not now be filed. So if the progressives are to be represent ed in the coming campaign their cleo tors are named. but not on the ballot"

BODIES OF AMERICANS
 HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED.

Ell Paso, Aug. 1.-The bodies of the two Americans which were found hanging in the state of Sonora have es received here today, saying they were S. Hubert, a German baker who formerly lived at Douglas, Ariz., and N. Burtling, residence and occupation unknown.
 The bodies were found hanging to a tree by a party of American refugees who were on their way to the border. Although there was nothing on the bodies to indicate who hanged the men, it was generally supposed to be the work of rebels. The opinion in we'll informed circles here is that the hangings were deliberately planned to provoke action by the United States and thus to embarrass the Maderista, government.

the accuracy of which is attestcd by worthy and reputable chroniclers that he would be d---'' if he ever went there again.
 But with the removal of the Senate to a larger chamber of it's own there has not been such a crying need for expansion as that apparent ill the House, and it probably will be many years before the Senate chamber wilT have to be- remodeled to give more room for desks.
 There a.e conditions of congestion in all the government departments here, however, which are giving the officials much concern.
 In the Treasury Department, the Post Office Department, the Pension office-in fact nearly every one of the large branches of the government, it is nothing unusual to see scores of clerks at work at desks which have been set up in public hall and corridor of the buildings.
 This is especially true with regard to the Patent office. For many months Commissioner Moore of the Patent of flee has been endeavoring to obtain an appropriation which will permit the erection of building suitable for the purpose of this department in giv- ing adequate space for the employees, and proper protection to the million and more patent records upon which patents have been granted.
 As things stand now, fire ill the Patent office, which is one of the most ramshackle and unsafe buildings now in the city, would mean the entire and absolute destruction of all of the records.
