DRIVER OF AUTO is HELD
Jack" Rose Gives Himself Up and
10 Charged With Being Accom-
pIiee In Killing Of the
Gambler.

Nav York, July ls.-Although the
police are showing signs Of great &C
tivity in running down various clues,
the murderer or murderers of Herman
Rosenthal are still at large.
There are many new developments,
however, and the police claim to be
ready to make several important ar.
rests.
Auto Driver Surrenders.
Jack" Rose, who was accused by
Rosenthal OF being graft collector
for Police Lieutenant Becker, surren-
dered himself and was held as an &C.
complete in the killing of Rosenthal.
He is said to have given the police
the names Of the other men who rode
In the slate-colored automobile in
which the assassins escaped after the
shooting at the Metropole Tuesday
morning. Rose declares that he left
the car at a certain point in the Bronx
and claims to have a clear alibi.
Following the announcement Of
Roses confession of his connection
with the affair, Louis Libby and VII.
liam Shapiro, owners of the automo-
bile, through their counsel, Aaron
Levy, offered themselves to District
Attorney whitman as witnesses for
the state, declaring that they had not
told the police what they know of the
movements of the gang during the
evening preceding the shooting-the
names of the original passengers who
bearded the car at Tom Sharkey's
saloon. or the others who took their
places later at another rendezvous In
the Bronx.
Lieutenant Becker Closely Watched.
Lieutenant Becker, whose connec.
ton with the affair has threatened to
uncover the greatest police scandal OF
years, was put under close surveil-
lance, which virtually amounts to ar
rest.
The statement OF Rosenthal on the
eve Of his death that Lieutenant Beck

tigated. It is learned, by the grand
jury. $780,. ...-

story of Becker's financial dealings, II

way before the march of the M. & ST.

partner started in to thoroughly eX-

WEDNESDAY MARKET
Veal Demand Grows.

Chicago, July 31.-High priced beeI
Is responsible for an increasing de
mand for veal Calves are selling
higher now than they ever brought al
this time of the year. The demand
for veal is Unsuitable because retailers
are able to get rid of 1t more readily
than the big cuts of beef which are
very expensive. Choice calves are
selling on the hoof at $1,000 per hun
dred. This price is so high that many
are induced to market calves which
they had expected to raise to matur
ity.
