TEMPORARY REPAIRS
To Be Made on GaIert Buiiding-A
Brick Building Later.


Building Inspector Louis C. Pollard,
Friday, granted a permit to Mark Cal
lcrt TO make temporary repairs on
his Main street building, which was
damaged by fire. In so doing, Mr.
Pollard says he is aware that he lays
himself open to criticism. in fact,
he has already been criticised for the
action. He has what he deems suffi-
cient reasons. however, and these are
as follows:
The Gallert building. according to
the insurance men, has only been
damaged 40 per cent, and therefore,
if Mr.. Gallert wished to compel the
city to grant him a license to rebuild.
he could do so. But he has not asked
the city for permit to rebuild
merely permit to make temporary
repairs. in order that he may accom-
modate some of his tenants while the
Common street building is being built.
which is matter of the very near flu
ture. After the Common street build
ing is finished, he intends to tear down
the Main street building. and erect a
brick structure of which the city may
be proud.
So Mr.. Pollard asks those who may
think at first glance that he is work
ing against the eitys interest to con-
slider the matter and see that he Is
really acting for the best interests
of the city in granting the temporary
permit.

Congressman f. 5. Jackson and l.. S.

Although Col. Roosevelt has adopt

the official title would be decided

others. But inasmuch as men of the

the Penrose people have forgotten that
Washington ever existed, and they did

the name used in any state was of no
consequence so long.as the party sup

meet the live issues In his speech &C.
cepting the Republican nomination. The
President confined himself largely to
conservative utteranees upon general
questions. Col. Roosevelt contended and
seemed to be afraid to commit himself
upon the questions of the hour, such as
the collection of tolls on the Panama
canal.
The colonel said he was amused by
many of the Presidents remarks, such as
his statement that constitutional amend
ments are not work and that referen-
dums do not pay rent. He believed that
the speech was a negative, conservative
document which failed to catch the spir-
it of the times.
Col Roosevelt's confession of faith. -
to be made in Chicago. next week, is a
speech in which he says he takes more
interest than any other he has ever de-
iyered.
Col. Roosevelt said he would insist up
on delivering his speech before the Ma

ed. His proposal, he believes, may be re-
garded as ultra radical in some quar-
tiers and IL the Acknowledgements con-

| New York. Aug. 2.--"whitey Jack
| Lewis. one of the four men accused of
| shooting down Herman Rosenthal, was
given a third degree grilling, today, to
| CLEAN further information that would
| supply eorroboration of the confession
OF Bald Jack" Rose, Harry WALTON, and
| Bridge" Weber. that Police Lieut..
Becker sought the death of Rosenthal.
| Lewis, whose real name is Frank
! Seidenshue. was picked up, yesterday,
ON the station platform at Fleischmans,
| N. Y, just as he was about to take a
| train for the West. He was brought to
this city, this morning, by Detective Har-
vey The trip to this city was without
| incident until the train drew into the
Weehawken terminal. There a band of
six or seven East Side gangstefs leaped
over the gate separating the platform
from the tracks and started toward the
train. Suddenly their eyes fell upon sew
eral headquarters detectives, who had
been sent across the river to assist De-
tective Harvey, and the gangsters skunk
back into the station. No move was made
to rescue the prisoner, who was quickly
taken to headquarters
There he was locked up to await the
arrival of Police Commissioners Waldo
and Dougherty. Lewis said that he was
on the point of giving himself up as he
had heard the police wanted him.
He would not say where he had been
in hiding. He said he could, and would
prove an alibi. He asserted that he was
out of the city at the time RosenthaI
was shot to death, but he would not tell
where he was. He would not say what
he was doing at Fleischmans, but reit-
Grated that he was stopping at a ire
putable place" and with respectable
people"
1t is thought detectives are on the trail
of other gunner wanted in the case,
including Harry Horowitz, otherwise
Clip. the Blood" and Louis Rosenberg,
alias Lefty Louie"
The latter is said to have been In Bos-
ton, on Wednesday District Attorney
Whitman. when asked about the report
that it was the bullet from Rosenberg's
gun that killed RosenthaI remarked:
yes. have heard that it was the bul-
let from Lefty Loule5 that killed Ros-
enthal but that doesn't lessen the crime
of the others engaged in the murder.
They are equally guilty with him. / am
anxious to get hold of all of them They
are a danger to the community"
Lefty Louie" has a reputation in
gangland as a sure shot. He is vain of
his accomplishment"
District Attorney Whitman is said to
be keeping under cover several impor-
tant witnesses whose evidence will go
long way in building up the case
against RosenthaPs murderer.
Police Lieut.. Becker still remains nom
communicative To all questions he re-
plies: Il have nothing to say" He reads
everything in the newspapers closely in
connection with the case.
Whitley" Lewis was arraigned before
a coroner, this afternoon. charged with
firing shot which caused Rosenthars
death. The proceedings were brief and
the case adjourned, until Tuesday after
noon next.
