WHITMAN WILLING TO LET ROSE TURN STATE WITNESS
District Attorney Wants the Real Men
 Higher Up
Says Police Are Back of Cfime--Belleyes
 Doughety IS Honest But Handicapped

New York, July 23-District Attorney Whitman made. it plain today that he was not satisfied with the offer of the police authorities to o-operate with him in the Rosenthal case. In remarkable interview he said:
 T will protect as far as my power goes every man in this case if can get the evidence I want against police men, evidence know exists. I will let Shapiro and Libby and Sam Paul and Jack Rose himself turn States witnesses if can get the police con- spirators. There are bigger men in this case than Becker and I want them.
 What has the police department, except Dougherty, done? Nothing, They aren't doing anything now. Dougherty is honest and on the level, but can he swing the thing alone?
 fNThe murder smells of police con- nivance. For an hour before Rosen- thai was shot preparations were be- ing made in 43d street for the murder. There were 15 or Is men at least in the crime. The street was kept clear of taxicabs.
 'sRosenthai was watcher. The de- tails were worked out in plain sight. But the police were blind. After the killing there was plenty of time to get the murderers. It was a leisurely job but the police didn't hurry any. What do they know about getting evil dence then?
 .'The only man they held was young Gallagher, who gave the correct au- ,tomobile number after half a dozen policemen had reported different mum bers. And they locked Gallagher up. In any other murder they would have scurried around and arrested every body in sight.
 'Dougherty knows the police are back of it and that it was to the advantage of certain policemen that Rosenthal be murdered"
 It was admitted at police headquar- ters today that the men the police are looking, for, whose names. have been mentioned in connection with the Ro- ,senthal killing and the events that in- n1ediateIH preceded s2 it. include Dago Frank, an East Side gangster; Whitey Lewis. Lefty Loewy, Harry Howitz.

Is Said to Have Given Names of Prominent Police Of fcials Who Took Hush Money From Her Illus
 band During the Year He Defed the Law

New York, July 23.-The inside rtory of her murdered husbands rela- lions with the gambling situation ,n this city was related to the grand inry. today by Mrs. Herman Rosen- thal. The widow of the gambler, murdered in front of the Metropole Hotel a week ago today, had no hesitancy in declaring she intended doing everything possible to aVenge her husband She insisted that she had been his confidant and that ev- cry dollar he paid for police protec- tion was known to her as well as every move he made in his attempt to buy immunity from the police so that he could continue his Illegal trade.
 Mrs. Rosenthal was brought before the grand jury by two process servers from the district attorneys office who had orders to prevent anyone talking to her. District Attorney Whitman said that her story, as re- lated to him, was very lengthy and that she would be the only witness the grand jury would have time to hear today. Because he was busy with, her. Whitman did not appear in person to fight the writs of habeas corpus sued out to secure the release of Sam Paul and Bridgie Webber. held Tor homicide ana against WiIoHi their lawyers declare there is no evi- dertce.
 7 Whitman sent Assistant District Att . torney Johnson to ask Justice Sea bury to continue the cases until he could appear in person.. It was re- ported that Mrs. Rosenthal, in her story. to the grand jury was to tell of her husbands operations during the time he conducted various glan1b- ling houses on the East Side before he moved up into the white light dis trict of the tenderloin. It was under stood that, in her story told to Dis trict Attorney Whitman before she went before the grand jury, she de- clared that Rosenthal had always paid heavily for police protection.
 She alleged that Rosenthal's money went to at least one captain of police

and also to two inspectors and she named these men to Whitman. But there was grave doubt whether her story would be substantiated and in- asmuch as she positively declares Rosenthal was murdered by the po- lice system, the district attorney real ized that she would make every point of her story as black as possible where the police were concerned.
 While Mrs. Rosenthal was being lice Commissioner Dougherty and h. speetor Hughes were interrogating Harry Vallon, who surrendered, early today. Dougherty admitted that 9 general alarm had been sent out to all big. cities for the various gang the case. He said that the police had been looking for them all over the country ever since the day of the kill ing of RoSenthal
 Extraordinary precautions were talk en by the district attorney to prevent Mrs. Rosenthal being seen on her way to and from the grand jury room. She was garbed in the deepest mourning, her face hidden behind a heavy black veil and before she got inside the dis trict attorneys private office she col 1apsed. Mrs Newman. who accom- Danied her had great difficulty in con soling her.
 It was plain that the widow of the noted gambler was very weak and very nervous and District Attorney Whitman personally accompanied her before the grand jury. After interro- eating Vallon for three hours. Deputy Commissioner Dougherty sent him to the coroner's office to be arraigned on a formal charge of murder. He said he had had & "satisfactory talk with the prisoner but declined to say Wha he had learned
 Afterward two women were hustled into the comni ssioner's private of flee and. after remaining there half an hour were escorted from the build ing by detectives who refused to per init them to be interviewed.

INCOME TAX TO MAKE

WASHINGTON, November U.s.
representative CordelI Hull of Ter.
nessee, author o. the excise tax, bill,
a member Of the Ways and Means
Committee, is framing a bill levying
a general income tax under the con
viction that in, January next two adj

tax. Thirty.four states have ratified
the amendment and with two more

1t is the Democratic plan, should the
income tax be lc%alized, to make this
tax supplemental to the new tariff leg
islation to be- onReted at the special
session. to be called by President-elect
Wilson for next April.
With the right to levy an income
tax the labors of the Democratic tar

not have to give so much thought to
their cuts in the duties.

BEARS WAIT FOR MEN
WHO CLIMB UP TREE
Hair-RaiSing Experience Of
Three ProSpectorS in District
Visited by Earthquake

SEWARD, Alaska, Nov. 22-FTOm
Kodiak island and that particular
part OF the Alaskan peninsula that
was visited last summer by the earth
quake comes one OF the best bear
stories that has been turned loose in
recent years. For many years Kodiak
island has been the favorite hunting
grounds for outside sportsmen in
search of the big brown bear. and in
fact the name Kodiak bear is perhaps
better known than brown bear TO
hunters all over the world.
When Mount katmai was in erup-
ton last summer the berries and
vegetation of Kodiak island was COW
cred. under blanket of volcanic ash
to a depth of from several inches to
as much as three feet in some places
and the natural food supply for the
bears was cut short to large extent.
However during the fishing season
the bruins managed to get along pref
ty we'll on the salmon that run up the
various streams and along the beach.
Become Nuisance
Early in the season the bears left
the hills and have been living on the
banks of the creeks, and now that the
fishing season is over they are at a
loss to get enough TO eat and have
taken to hunting both single and in
droYes, and have really become a nui-
sance.
Before the government herd of cat
tie was removed from the expert
mental farm near Kodiak to Seward,
several of the calves had been killed,
and recently three prospectors were
freed. near Kodiak and were forced to
spend the night in the tree while be-
low two hungry brown bears attempt
ed to get at them and We're only
driven away after one had, been killed
in the morning by: native and the
other one had been badly wounded. :.
AS soon as the three who had spent
the night in the tree could get guns
they returned to the scene of their
rights Imprisonment and got on the
track of the wounded animal. They
followed the trail for distance of
less than mile and they come upon
the clean picked bones of the brute
that had kept them in the tree the
night before The bear had been
killed and eaten by other bears.
