NEW YORK, July 19.-Are the po-
lice of New York, the greatest city
of America. organized TO protect, In
return for graft, all the evils they
have been supposed to check In orr
der that the lives OF the citizens who
pay them might be safe?
This question Is being asked In all
seriousness this week by every man
and women who lives on the island
lof Manhattan.
And In view OF the startling facts
connected with the assassination Of
Herman Rosenthal, just now being
brought to light, they seem justified
In their query.
Herman Rosenthal was a gambler.
He publicly charged that the police
Iof New York allowed gambling re-
sorts to operate on payment OF fixed
charges TO them. Today he lies dead,
shot 70 death by Ave assassins less
than 48 hours after he had turned
the calcium on the blue-coated pro
tectors" OF New York's morals.
Ever since he was q very young
man, in fact, as soon as he quit

had been In the gambling Name. He
began by running crap" In few
years he rented big house on West
very near to where the
lights OF Longacre-sq. blaze, and fitted
1t up gumptuously as a gambling den.

II never objected to this procedure
until Lieut.. Becker OF the force at

fact that had paid over my fees.
This, ! charge, was done to gouge
more from me. 1t made me angry
and now | am squealing because OF
this oppression by the police sys-

AS soon as Rosenthal made his
statement, District Attorney Whit

guest OF Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, the
noted sunraget, at her summer home
In Newport, came out with the declar-
alton that the police system OF New

Rosenthal had described II, and said
he would begin immediate action to

that clubs be formed throughout
