PRES. TAFT IS NOTIFIED
Senator Root Makes Speech Thurs
day-Says President Secured
Nomination Fairly.

Washington.-In a brief and for
nal speech by Senator Elihu Root of
New York, President Taft was for
mally notified Thursday that he had
received the republican nomination
for the presidency at the recent con-
vention in Chicago.
Root, in his speech, laid particular
stress on the claim that Taft's title
to the nomination was as clear and
unimpeachable as the title of any
candidate of any party since political
conventions began"
Referring to Roosevelt, Root said :
For the second time in the his
tory of the republican party, part of
the delegates refused to be bound by
the action of the convention. The
reason assigned for this course is dis
satisfaction with the decision of GER
tain contests in making up the tenn
porary roll of the convention. Those
contests were decided by that tri-
bunal upon the law which has gov
erned the republican party for more
than forty years, which imposed the
duty of deciding such contests.
so long as those decisions were
made honestly and in good faith, all
persons are bound to accept them as
conclusive in making up temporary
roll of the convention. Neither in
the facts nor in the arguments pro-
duced before the national committee,
the committee on credentials, the
convention itself, nor otherwise, does
there appear just ground for i'm
peaching the honesty and good faith
OF the committees decisions.
You believe in a rule of law
rather than in a rule of men, and
realize that safety of nations and of
individuals is to establish and abide
by declared principles. You are in
sympathy with the great practical
rules for the right conduct of the
American people, set up for guidance
and self-restraint in constitutional
limitations. You know that to sweep
away these wise rules of self-res-
traint would not be progress but de-
cadence.
You know the great declarations
of principles in the constitution can
not be an effectual guide to conduct
in any other way than by judicial
judgment upon attempts to violate
them, and you maintain independ-
ence, dignity and authority for the
courts of the United States"
In acceptance of the honor, the
president said:
Il accept the nomination you ten
der with profound gratitude to the
republican party which has thus hon
ored me twice. | accept it as ap-
proval of what | have done under it's
mandate and as an expression of con-
fidence that in a second administra-
tion | will serve the public we'll"

WILL NOT CoNDoNE CRIME.
Lieutenant Becker Must Pay Penalty
if Guilty.

New York.-If it can. be proved
that Lieutenant Becker instigated
the murder of Rosenthal, the crime
cannot be condoned for any exposure
of graft that he might be able to
produce" said District Attorney
Whitman. This statement was by
way or answer to the talk of immun-
ity for Becker in event of his disclos-
ing the operation of the system.
However, Whitman added, ''it
must be presumed that he is inno-
cent until he is proved guilty"
Authorities are investigating re-
port that James Verrella, saloon
keeper who was shot by gangsters
early Wednesday, was killed in re-
venge for his betrayal of "Dago
Frank" Cirofici, an alleged member
of the gang which killed Rosenthal.
More than fifty witnesses will be
subpoenaed to appear before the
grand jury to tell what they know of
the alleged blackkmail system. The
information obtained from Rose,
who says he was Beckers collector
from the gambling houses, will be
susceptible of proof by the district
attorney. Rose said some of the
gamblers paid as high as 5000 a
month for immunity, others fifty
and one hundred, according to the
extent of the operations.
Big Jack" Selig, to whom Rose
said he sent word to get men to slay
Rosenthal, will appear when wanted.
His counsel has told the public pros
ecutor that Selig would tell every
| thing he knew of the case.
Sworn statements tending to show
that the annual graft collected by
high police officials in New York city
| from gambling houses and other lille
gal resorts has amounted, within the
last year, to 50, 100000, are in the
hands of District Attorney Whitman.
The annual yield of $2,400,000
protection money was equally divid-
ed according to the story told by
Rose, among four high officials of
the police department, one of them
being Becker and from other evil
dence the district attorney has col
lected, he has reason to suspect that
each 100000 was further distribut-
ed. In other words, there were four
separate systems or bureaus of graft
collection, each headed by a high
police official.
Mr. Whitman, it was learned, has
the names or the other three police
officials and mis- further efforts will
be directed toward Strengthening the
evidence against them. One of the
officials named, it was learned, holds
position at headquarters, and is in
strict sense civilian employe.
James Verrella, proprietor of the
Dante Cafe at 1853 West Thirty
fourth street, was murdered on the
third floor of his resort Wednesday
morning
Investigation showed that he was
shot in revenge for his betrayal of
"Dago Frank" Cirofici, a member of
the party which killed Herman Ros-
enthal William Lorenzo, one of the
men under arrest for killing Verella
is a wellknown gun fighter"
He is believed to have been dele
gated with his companion, Albert
Contento, to kill Verella for betray-
ing "Dago Frank"

PRISONER STARS THREE.
One is Dead and Two Fatally Wound
ed by Convict.

Los Angeles, Cal.-One man was
killed and two others fatally wound
ed as a result of an encounter be-
tween prisoners in the county Jail,
shortly after o'clock Thursday
morning. c. H. Mullen, serving one
year for contributing to the delin-
quency of minor, was killed, and
Lewis w. NOEL and Martin Medoza,

tally wounded.
John Valshik, serving five months
for felonious assault, was placed in
dungeon, charged with murder.
Valshikk, who, because of several
minor infractions of Jail rules, had
been set to work in the kitchen and
dining room, was told this morning
to wait on the table. He had Just
reached the table where his three vic
TINS were seated, when suddenly he
plunged knife, which he had car
ried in his right hand concealed un-
der a large tray, into Mullen's heart
Mullen fell to the floor dead
Valshik then attacked Noell and
Mendoza, seated next to Mullen. Be-
fore the frenZied man could be over
powered he mad inflicted frightfu
wounds upon the two prisoners
NOEL suffered two deep knife cuts
across his back and one arm was
nearly severed. Mendoza was stabbed
in the breast near the heart, and a
great cash was opened across his
face. At the receiving hospital, to
which both men were rushed, it was
stated that neither would live.
Prisoners at the Jail declared there
had been absolutely no trouble be-
tween Valshik and the man he at.
racked, and none could give any
reason for his murderous outbreak
