that the same protection given me be
extended TO Harry, "Brldgy" and you,
to which he finally agreed. We are
all pleased with the arrang EN- ents and
our worry has been to get you to

got. before II Is too late
My advice Is to let me send q r-p-
resentative OF the district attorney
to bring you back here. That would
prevent the police getting you and
putting you through q third degree.
Don't say a word to anyone. You
know, Sam. that you have been too

otherwise. Immediately upon receipt

ARREST OF SCHEPPS
CAUSES SENSATION

By International News Service,
NEW YORK, Aug. 11-Never In its
history has the police department Of New
York been so astounded as by the arrest
OF Sam Schepps In Hot Springs, Ark, and
Schepps's statement that five policemen,
all friends Of his. connived at his escape.
The sensation Of the capture OF Schepps
spread from the office of Commissioner
Rhineiander Waldo to the beat OF the
lowest in rank OF the big force,
What will Schepps tell?" was the
question on every lip and the whole city
wondered why, II reporters could locate
Schepps in twenty hours, the city's po-
lice and detectives had not been able
TO locate him in twenty-five days. The
arrest of the paymaster OF the gang
sters who murdered Herman Rosenthal
leaves only two men. Harry Horowtz and
Louis Rosenzwig. remaining to complete
the quartette who killed the gambler,
II Is believed Schepps's confession Will
locate them.
The district attorney will begin worl,
tomorrow on requisition papers on the
governor Of Arkansas for Schepps
though the latter has expressed his will
maiity. The district attorney also sent
positive orders that Schepps should not
be delivered to the police authorities OF
New York and under no circumstances
will the prisoner be permitted to enter
the custody Of any one but detectives
sent from the district attorneys office
Schepps is desperate and, according to
dispatches from Hot Springs tonight, II
Is feared he will try to kill himself,

The session has been prolific of vetoes
by President Taft. Since Its beginning
last December. he has written his disap-
proval across the face OF seven bills
passed by congress One Of these. the
"Corbett tunnel bill,' was repassed over
his veto In the senate. It Is expected
that he will this week veto two or three
other measures, including the steel and
iron tariff and the appropriation bill fix.
Ing a limitation OF seven years on civil
service terms.
The senate has ratified nine treaties
during the session, including those with
| France and Great Britain, which the

| form and the following.
| Settlement OF pecuniary claims between
| the United States and Great Britain
