"hlghcsops" Collect a
Huge Toll From
Gamblers.
Inside History Of the
Vast Conspiracy
Is Told.

NEW YORK, July 81. The inside
history of one of the greatest conspira-
cies TO defraud and profit by the cheat
is gradually being formed by the facts
that are being collected in the invesu.
cation Of the murder of the gambler
Herman Rosenthal. Bit by bit the
story of the collision between the po-
lice and the gambling fraternity is be
ing dragged from unwilling witnesses.
The last of these, bald jack Rose,
one of the most famous gamblers in
this city, yesterday declared that for
years the gamblers have been paying
through the nose to the tune of two
million four hundred thousand dollars
year to the police officials with whom
they were supposed TO "stand in
of this 50 enormous sum of hush
money Lieutenant Becker took the
lions share, declared "Bald Jack -
For the rest the money went TO the
''higherups, who have been for many
years battening upon the crime Of the
city. OF these, including Lieutenant
Becker there were four, and practical.
ly all of the money collected went to
their hands
Rose says that Becker, head of the
"Strongarm squad" that raided the
gambling houses, engineered the plot
TO get Rosenthal. Becker, he
charges, threatened to send all the gam.
blers TO jail unless Rosenthal was put
out of the way. He detailed the story
of the plot.

Taft Electors Quit to
Join Teddys
Cohorts.
Moose Conventions
Endorse the
Colonel.

NEW YORK, July 3l.-Roosevelt for
President. Such was the slogan adopted
by several progressive conventions held
throughout the country yesterday. In
Kansas City, the colonel's name was
received with cheers. The convention
in New Haven, Connecticut endorsed
him, and named twenty eight delegates
to the Moose convention to be held
in Chicago August 5, and instructed
them to vote for Roosevelt.
In Kansas City the Progressive en-
dorsed woman's suffrage, the recall Of
judicial decisions, the referendum, the
initiative, and the other Roosevelt
planks The convention also, without
protest, endorsed Mr.. Roosevelt's
stand, and instructed the delegates TO
the coming national convention to vote
for him for the nomination for Presi-
dent.
In Nebraska the Roosevelters were
strong enough to capture the regular
Republican convention and nominate
their ticket. The result was that the
Tafters bolted the convention and, 20.
ing elsewhere, held convention of
their own and nominated full ticket.
In Phoenix, Arizona the Progressive
convention scored President Taft for
what it called his "irresolution" in
dealing with the state of affairs in
Mexico.
In Minnesota Taft received another
blow. The presidential electors select
ed by the regular Republican conven-
ton, resigned in a body, with the ex-
ception of one, and announced their in
tention of working and fighting for
Roosevelt for President. They will
doubtless be nominated by the Bull
Moose convention.

Grave Charges May Be Laid
Against Captain Altman of
the China.

Upon the arrival of the Pacific Mail
steamship China at San Francisco con-
plants may be lodged with the FaciGc
Mail officials concerning the alleged
mistreatment of members of the crew
by Captain Altman during the voyage
OF the liner across the Pacific.
Statements made on board the China
yesterday by cabin passengers as well
as by members of the crew were to the
effect that the suicide of a Chinese
steerage mess attendant was due, in
large part, to the personal al treatment
by Captain Altman, who, according to
cabin passengers, also III treated a
white quartermaster
While these allegations have been
made by persons travelling on the liner,
the officers Of the China deny the re-
ports fatty.
According to the cabin passengers,
one of the quartermasters came to grief
after leaving the China const. Several
Chinese members of the crew were naul-
ing on rope when Captain Altman or
deTed the quarteTmaster TO lend hand.
The quartermaster Immediately refused
to obey the captain command, stating
that il was against the rules of the
Seamen s Union for a white man to haul
on the same rope with Chinaman, un,
less in cases of emergency, In view OF
the passengers on deck, the captain
came off the bridge and placed the quar-
termnster in irons. After being locked
up for several hours he was taken t.

MORE PIL|KIA FOR
NUUANU'S SKIPPER
Seaman Vows He Will Libel the
UnluCky Schooner For
His Pay.

All tine shoals, storms, rocks and
thunderbolts that beset Captain Jos.
seyln of the good ship Nuuanu on her
just completed voyage around the
Horn, may be capped by legal roof
in the form of libel on the ship. 1t
is up to the captain himself, according
to statements by Henry Bander, an
able seaman on board, who demands
eighty dollars in pay which he says he
can I get.
All the men have now been paid off
except Bander. 1t seems that Captain
josselyn insists upon the payment to
the ship of $50 in hospital fees which
Bander incurred in Port Stanley, in
the Falkland Islands, where the ship
underwent repairs. Bander admits the
hospital term but denies his obligation
to pay for il and has retained Attor.
ney l.. NJ. Straus to represent him. The
seaman has eighty dollars coming to
him as pay and announced yesterday
that he will libel the ship if it is not
paid to him without deductions.
The injuries which confined Bander
to the hospital during the greater part
of his time in the Falklands he de.
clares to have been given him by the
mate, who stabbed him while in fit
Of drunkenness. He also declares that
the same blow which sent him to n
hospital cot sent his assaiant to Jail
where he resided almost up to the
time the Nuuanu cleared again for the
rest of her voyage around the Horn

ing passage on army transports from
Honolulu to San Francisco, officers at
tached to the various commands on
Oahu are in complaining mood, and
as result communication has been
forwarded to the war department de-
failing the necessity of more certain
accommodations and asking that the
matter be given some attention and if
necessary, to place "A small transport
on the run between San Francisco and
Honolulu.
Fifty.six people attached to the VA
rious commands had booked with the
depot quartermaster to go to the Coast
on the August transport. Only six
people can be accommodated, includ-
ing Major Mcclure and family of the
Fifth Cavalry and Lieutenant Crow

the September transport, especially
those who have obtained leave of alb
sence, while officers under orders will
be compelled to travel ON mail liners

partment.

are both practically out of service and
lying idle in San Francisco bay, and
either of them would do good service

major portion of which is taken NJ
