close friend of Lieutenant Charles A.
Becker, whom Rosenthal claimed to
have been his partner Rose was
known widely as collector of graft
for policemen.
Rose was active in getting evidence
for Becker against Rosenthal on the
night before he was murdered.
The police are shown to have cleared
the streets about the hotel just before
the murder
The police made no successful effort
to catch the murderers, although a
number of policemen were in the imme
diate Vicinity.

When Rosenthal left the district at

The Chase of the Automobile.

When Lieutenant File returned to
the Metropole after he had fruitlessly
chased the slate colored touring car
which he saw in the street right after
the shooting, he made the following
statement;
a ran past the tables between me
and the door, and when I got to the
street | saw four men getting into a
gray touring car, which had white lines
on its body One man. a gray-clad,
heavy-set chap made motion toward
his hip pocket as If to brighten me
away. ran toward the automobile,
which was slowly moving eastward, but
which, as soon as the. last man had
climbed into it, speeded up and shot
toward Sixth avenue.
Il turned to where John Koran, the
driver of taxicab No. 25256, had been
awakened from his sleep on the chauf
feur's seat by the pistol shots, and told
him to turn his machine around imme-
diately and we would follow the tour
ing car. He did so, and jumped into
the machine.
Just then three policemen in uni
form came up and they did not know
me and held me up needlessly while VIC

The legislature pr9 baby will pass
the bill awarding a pension of $50 per

ernor Allen D. Gambler.
When this bill was UP for passage
a few days ago it was opposed by Joe

II was unconstitutional and should not

Upon motion, it was laid on the table.
since the bill was up the other day,
Mr. Hall has reached the conclusion
that his first impression was wrong,
and that the bill is constitutional after
all. and it is now said he will support
it.
The hill provides for the payment of
a pension Of $50 per month to widows
OF governors who are possessed of
property in an amount less than 81, 500.

CHAPTER I.
The Motive and the Men.

The story was told District Attorney
Whitman by a gambler that the muir
der of Rosenthal had been planned at
an outing of the Sam Hall association
last Sunday. The organization went to
Northport The men were bitter at
Rosenthal because of his "squeals'
Il heard one gambler say, If Her
man goes too far with this, We'll have
to get him.. said the informant of the
district attorney
When Rosenthal left the district at
torney after making the exposures he
said he was afraid he would be
killed, not by the gamblers, but by
the police He said they had got others
and could get him, and for that reason
he wanted to see the district attorney
early the next morning at the district
attorneys home in Madison Square. 1t
was accordingly arranged that the
gambler. accompanied by his WIFE
should visit Whitman at 8 o'clock at
Whitmans apartments.
Furnished Whitman Six Names.
These six men will tell you how
they have to give up to the police
Rosenthal is said to have told Whit
man naming the men. They VIII give
YOU the names of the police officers who
get the money, who are their collectors,
and how far up in the police depart
ment the graft goes
The six names as told since by the
dead gamblers friend were as follows;
"a Dollar John" whose real name is
Harry LANCER who is alleged to have
run gambling house at No. ST.
Marks place, which Lieutenant Beck
err raided in spectacular fashion. At
the time Dollar John" raised the cry
that Becker took $500 from the roll
he carried in his pocket. Becker in
reply stated that he found s956l.65 in
DOLLAR Johns" clothes. and that the
money was later returned to him in
the presence of his lawyer and re-
ceipt was obtained for the amount.

as a result of the assassination of Her
man Rosenthal, the gambler who be-
trayed the system" used by the police
in levying tribute on gamblers.
This promise was accompanied by the
announcement that Detective William
j. Burns who trapped the Mcnamara
brothers. had been engaged to work
with District Attorney Whitman and
had already taken up the task.
The district attorney, who, from the
moment that Rosenthal was murdered,
has asserted that the police permitted
the crime, today said that the trail
was leading just where he first Thought
1t would go. In the light of new facts
gained in a secret conference with a
gambler at his own home. the district
attorney is sure that he responsibility
for killing the important witness to
police graft rests with the police them
selves.

Police Lieutenant File has seen the
whole affair from his seat down the
room, on the same side of the room as
the doorway where the tragedy was
staged He runs to the doorway and
sees the figures of four men moving, he
says, to a gray white striped touring
car that is clearly waiting for them. He
starts to cross the street to where the
automobile, he declares, is moving
slowly eastward, waiting for the four
men who are to escape in it to climb
aboard.
One heavy set, dartly clad man puts
his hand toward his pistol pocket, File
says, as if to threaten the policeman.

Il state these facts not in any
spirit Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT but
simply to make clear that where
the Hay Pauncefote treaty does
not contain clauses of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, it is simply because
of the definite determination Of
the state department and the
United States senate. under pres
sure of popular opinion, to exclude
those clauses. Therefore. the ex-
clusion of those clauses absolutely
positively means the rejection Of
the principle embodied in those
clauses.
can article in The London Times
says great deal depends upon the
correct Interpretation of the spirit
in which the Hay Pauncefote
treaty was drawn that Is to say,
as to how far 1t perpetuated the
sense of the Clayton Bulwer con-
vention. In view of the above
facts. 1t ought to be clear that the
Hay Pauncefote treaty only per-
petuates the sense of the Clayton
Bulwer convention where 1t re-
peats the words of tins Clayton
Bulwer treaty. When 1t does not
repeat the words, 1t is, as I have
said. because of a definite deterni-
nation to reject the principle.
Moreover, since that time the
United States has acquired the
territory across which the canal is
built. which seems TO me to have
considerable bearing upon the sit
uation and further to strengthen
the claims of the United States in
regard to the canal"

Nothing could be more explicit

Possibly that is so, but have en-

the Hay Pauncefote treaty, which
is the treaty substituted for the

"U. S. Will Not
Submit to Arbitration. -"

The backwoods press of Canada,
in the absence of argument. in
dulges in vituperation and accuses
the United States of bad faith. but
that empty accusation will proba-
bly, not convince the more judicious
Engishman. nor will it affect the
citizens of the United States nor
the action of the United States
government
The Montreal Herald further
says:
1T is sought to make the Pana-
ma canal a mere domestic possess
sion of the United States. In view
of the substitution of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty for the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and in view of the
acquisition bv the United States Of
the territory through which the ca
nal passes, 1 think the canal can
not better or more accurately be
described than as domestic pos
session of the United States.
II am inclined to think that the
United States will not submit to
their domestic possessions
Mr.. Hearst's views were next sought
as to the result of the Saskatchewan
elections a day or two ago on the flu
.ure Of reciprocity. Mr.. Hearst was the
foremost and a vigorous advocate of
between Canada and the
United States last year and the cleo
.ors OF Saskatchewan have just re-
.urned an overwhelming majority Of
members in favor of closer trade rela.
ions
THE majority of the Canadians
and a considerable number of ctti-
zens of the United States were
misled into fear that reciprocity
could, or might, develop some in
Jury TO one or both countries. 1t is
inevitable that calmer and more
careful consideration of the ques-
ton will convince those Canadians,
and those citizens of the United
States, that an extension of trade
relations. as proposed, can not be
anything but a benefit to both
countries.
I'm considering the matter with
out prejudice a citizen Of Canada
or citizen of the United States
must ask What. after all, does
reciprocity mean and must con-
cude that it merely means the ex-
tension of markets for the products
of both countries the opening Of
the markets of Canada to the prod
ucts of the United States, and the
opening of the markets of the Unit
ed States to the products OF Can
ada
Surely England, which is con-
tinually striving for larger mar
kets for her products, will be the
last country to deny that increased
markets are a benefit
If these increased markets are a
benefit, then both Canada and the
United States will be benefited, but
inasmuch as the markets of the
United States are about ten times
as large as those of Canada Cam
ada ought to be benefited many
times more than the United States.
This view Of the matter is sure to
prevail with all Intelligent Cana
dams eventually"
