Says He Lost $4,000.

Further work yesterday on the part OF

fake wire tapping game. brought to light
by the complaints OF Kirby Cleveland Sid

ton. n. c., convinced them that they had
unearthed no "pikers" in this particular
form OF swIndle. According to the police
they are hot on the trail of big gang Of
confidence men, and expect several more
victims to come forward against the men
arrested.
A man said to be Simon Jones, OF Pitts
burgh, identified the sixth man arrested
yesterday as one OF a group that did him
out Of $4,000 In the same house where
Sudbury and Powell say they lost $4,000.
The man identified yesterday by Jones
was arrested Friday night by Detectives

was Charles Bradford and that he was IA

they say, that he spent three years In

inspire his confidence that real racing

The police had In their possession a let

ago inviting him TO come to New YORK
and make some easy money. The con-
tents Of this letter were dictated to
Dutch Alonzo'' yesterday and he was
persuaded to write It. When HIS writing
was compared with the original the po-
lice said II was the same handwriting.
Although Sudbury failed to Identity

MAY YET BUILD A TERROR
Navy Board Will Report Mon
ster Battleship Feasible.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Nov. 9.-Senator Tillman's
suggestion that the United States con-
struct battleship. to be known as the
Terror, that would be the final word In
size, speed, armor. armament and cruis-
ing radius will materialze within ten
years If a report being prepared by the
General Board OF the Navy is needed.
This report will be based largely on
estimates furnished by Naval Constructor
X. II. Robinson. who designed the Penn
sylvania and all the other large battle
ships I'm the last seven years. II Is his
opinion that within ten years the largest
battleships Of certain foreign powers VIII
barely be able 10 pass through the Pan
anna Canal because Of their size.
IF the United States keeps pace with
other nations, monster battleships will
have to be constructed within the next
decade or this nation will fall far behind,
the constructor said to-day "Battleships
in the near future will be 1000 feet long,
Jos feet beam, SO feet deep, and have a
displacement Of 5000 tons"
on these figures Is based the report OF
the General Board In regard to Senator
Tillman's resolution asking for informa-
ton about the possibilities OF this nation
having the largest and most powerful
warship anoat The report will be that
such a battleshlp as conceived by the
South Carolina Senator would have six
teen l4-inch guns, 22-inch armor and a
speed of twenty-one knots. The Penn
sylvania is designed to have twelve H.
Inch guns and Will be coo feet long and
nave a displacement of 10000 tons.
Should the construction Of such battle
ships as suggested by Senator Tillman,
and now REGARDED as a possibility. II not
a necessity by the naval experts, come to
pass, every harbor would have to be
dredged and drydocks rebuilt. II is re-
garded as impossible TO alter the facilities
and conditions at the League Island and
Mare Island navy yards to accommodate
such vessels, but navy officials declare
that gigantic changes will be necessary
within the next decade providing the esti-
mates and expectations Of the naval con-
structors matcrialize.

Michael A. Scanlon. Mayor OF Lawrence,

put 1t.

mill owners of Lawrence. arrived in this
city, his first stop. yesterday, and visited
The Tribune. where in an interview last
ing one and one-half hours he discussed
the troubles that Lawrence has had TO
deal with since the strike, for her great
est troubles have come upon Massachu-
setts's big mill town since the settlement
of the strike.
Now said Mayor Scanlon. 'you'd
scarcely believe II, unless you've been TO
Lawrence, but our town Is not made up
of murderers and anarchists and workers
who have no country and want no God.
And II isn't entirely. or almost entirely, a
foreign city planted right In the heart of
old New England.
II have the figures pretty we'll in mind,
and here they are: OF Lawrence's popula-

Denies "SqueaIer" Reports.
Counsel for the gunner denied en-
phatically the reports again yesterday
that one or more Of the defendants
would confess to get the District At
torneys consent to a plea for murder

Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg, wife OF
Lefty" Louie, who is out on bail as a
material witness in the gunmen's cases.
was at the District Attorneys office
yesterday. Assistant District Attorney
/ Moss talked with her for an hour.
Later she went for a walk with a
process server" as Mr. Moss said. IL
was understood that Mr. Moss had
| learned Of another witness for the state
through Mrs. Rosenberg.
Mrs. Rosenberg may be witness AT
| the trial. She testified at the Becker
| trial. The defence In the gunmen's
case will object TO her testifying on the
ground that a wife cannot testify
against her husband. Mr. Whitman
will argue, however. that wife may
tell what she has seen so long "a she
does not reveal confidential relations or
conversations with her husband.

record for Charles Becker at Becker
trial. sailed for Europe yesterday for a

settles the question of Mr.. Harris re-
naming in the Becker case on appeal.

it. You hear everything against us and
nothing for us"
Stanish Object Of Mirth.
But how about Giovanni Stanish
the states witness, who identified some
of you?" the gunner were asked.
The mention of Stanishs name drew
a laugh from all four prisoners.
"Stanish?" said "Dago" Frank. ooh,
he has been put up to identifying us,
and that is all there is to his part"
Asked if they didn't think the testi-
mony of Rose, Weber, WALTON and
Schepps would not go pretty hard with
them. "Dago" Frank volunteered that
they could not discuss those witnesses.
But you just wait little,' he said.
1.-THE big story about them will come
later"
Lefty" Louie turned to his con-
freres in trouble for their approval,
and got it. when he said that all they
wanted was that each one be allowed
to tell his whole story on the witness
stand. They were willing to abide by
the judgment of the jury and the pub
lie if they were permitted TO do that
he said. They all appeared a little
skeptical, however, as to what the
disposition of the District Attorney
would be in that respect They feared
that he would not "let down the bars
and permit them to tell everything.
"Dago" Frank then related the visit
| to the Tombs of "some upstate prison
commission" the members Of which
were evidently curious TO see the gun
men.
4 Those fellows approached our cells
with great reluctance" he said. They
/ looked at us sideways as If they were
frightened and ready 10 run If we
moved or spoke. We said, Step in,
gentlemen, and they backed away
and had to take four looks at us be-
| fore they were satisfied that we
/ wouldn't bite. We haven't any Of us

! fairly decent kids at that"

Thus spoke "Dago" Frank Cirofici in
the Tombs yesterday, while acting as
spokesman for the quartet of gunner
on trial before Justice Goff for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal
Standing together close to the heavy
barred gate at the end of the long first
tier in the City Prison, the four gun
men gave out hopeful" interview to
the newspaper men. "Dago' Frank
and Lefty Louie Rosenberg did most
of the talking, while their mates in
manacles," Whitley Lewis and "Gyp'
the Blood, chorused their approval now
and then.
An obliging keeper conveyed the re-
quest for an interview to each of the
prisoners in his cell. Yes, they were
willing ito talk" but as they had de-
termined to stand or fall together they
would talk collectively, and would be
glad to see the newspaper men at the
big iron gate. BE right down. they
sent back word.
