NEW YORK, Aug 3.-The citizens
OF New York City disgusted with the
failure of the police to clear up the
worst graft and murder scandal in the
citys history, today prepared to take
matters in their own hands Eighteen
days after Gambler Herman Rosen-
thai was shot down, in theatrical and
astoundingly brazen fashion, dozens of
arrests have been made, and many
actually connected with the case have
been apprehended but the real scandal
remains almost untouched. The kill
ing of Rosenthal has proved the
merest incident in the situation. 1T
has been shown that his killing was
planned as a public warning to all who
might dare to give information to the
authorities.
