New York, July 26-That the New York police are shielding the real murderers of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler shot down after he had ac- cused the police of levying tribute on gambling houses, is the charge openly made by the newspapers of this city. They assert that three of the five men whom the police profess to be anxious to find" are appearing daily In their usual haunts without any at tempt at concealment.
 One newspaper heads it's story with his declaration in black type:
 Nine days have elapsed since Her. man Rosenthal was assassinated be- | Tore an assemblage of half a hundred people in front of the Metropole Hotel and the men who committed the crime are still at large"
