until the cities have provided ade

Police Lieutenant Charles Becker,
indicted for the murder Of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal, was under CON
slant espionage in his cell today.
Warden Hanley of the Tombs, who is
responsible for the accused policeman,
posted a guard where he could OBJ
serve his every movement. In addi-
ton all who visited him, his lawyer
and even his wife were searched be-
fore they were permitted to approach
1.-THE central figure in New York's worst
scandal.
Hanley said that while he personally
did not put any stock in rumors that
Becker might commit suicide, he did
not intend taking any unnecessary
chances" Becker laughed at the pre-
cautions, reiterated his protestations
OF innocence and declared he would be
able to prove that the case against
him was a gamblers frame up when
his trial was reached.
District Attorney Whitman indicat-
ed by his manner today that the dis
trict attorney would have hard time
convicting Becker on the evidence
now at hand.
4 Whitman hopes that through Mrs
Rosenthal and others he can show
motive and thus establish the connec
ltion which would make the story ma
terial and eligible in open court

Police Commissioner Waldo again
refused today to talk about the scan
dial for publication. He also sent a
general order to all police officials
throughout the city warning them to
refrain from talking and made 1t clear
that any captain or lieutenant known
to have talked would be automatically
reduced in rank.
From a high official in Waldo's Of
fee the statement was secured that
the commissioner considers absurd the
Rose charge that s2,4Oo,0O0 has been
paid annually by the gamblers Tor
protection. He said that II protection
money was paid, the sum was very
much less and the money must have
gone to certain inspectors.
The method used in stamping out
gambling. 1t was explained, was to
hold the inspector in charge OF dis
trict responsible. He reported direct
to the commissioner and the latter de
tailed the strong arm squads to gel
evidence and conduct the raids.
It was also admitted that Waldo
since he has been in office received
many letters alleging that organized
graft existed but in every case, 1t was
! stated, investigation failed to produce
any evidence that the charge was bas
ed on any facts. Attorney Bernard q
Sander called on Whitman this after
noon and offered to arrange the sur
render of Tom Schepps, who rode II

on the night of RosenthaIs killing nc
said that Schepps could confirm mucf
of Roses story and Whitman said he

NEW UNION PA0IFIC TRAINS.
HUNDRED That Morning PAssenge'
Trains May Be Relnstated'

WIN the Union Pacific reinstate
its old passenger trains Nos. lOl
ana 1O2? 1t Is rumored that they
win be put back again about MAY !.
The report has not yet been veri-
lied but when the trains were taken
OF last fall IL was announced that
they would be put on when traffic
justified it. The tourist season mas
not began yet but It usually begins
about May /, and at that time the
trains will undoubtedly be a neces-
sity. .
The reason given for the early
arrival OF the trains is that the wa
hash does not arrive in Kansas City
in time for the present trains on the
Union Pacific to make the eonnec-
tions in Denver which its present
mail contract calls for and the uii-
man sleeper equipment which the
wabash also delivers to the Union
Pacific at Kansas City is also delay
ed unless the Union Pacific trains
wait for the Wabash trains. This
makes the Union Pacific trains run
out Of Kansas City late and they
ave to run fast in order to make
up for the lost time and arrive n
Denver to make the connection WITH
the westbound through trains.
