Rosenthars friend for. years Rosenthal
obeyed.
"Hymie,' said this politician, "you
have gone too far. It's time you pulled
in your horns. You're spelling things
II haven't been treated fair" replied
Rosenthal. with heat. They haven't
played square with me. I am going to
stick to this fight until l show those fell
lows a thing or two, and I can do It."
This sort of talk surprised the poll
tician. His word formerly had been law
to Rosenthal. A nod from him used TO
be enough. He saw that Rosenthal was
highly wrought UP, and he said:
"Hymie,' listen to me. This is not the
time for you to do any tall talking. l am
your friend, and it was in that spirit
that sent for you. I now warn you to
stop all this sort Of thing. There are
people who won't stand for 1t. Your life
is in danger IL you continue"
Say. -" said Rosenthal, you
know I'm no gutter. I've been done
dirt. I'm not going to let 1t go by with
out getting back. I'm going to fight
them to finish"
do you know that you are taking big
chances?" asked the politician. DO you
think that am talking idly-that I am
talking to hear myself talk? I'm giving
you the warning that is your due as
friend"
II know the chances I'm taking" re-
piled Rosenthal. But I'm going to
stick. I'm going TO fight them until I
show them all up"
The Tammany politician again tried
to persuade Rosenthal to drop his
charges against the police, but Rosen-
thai was obdurate.
Then the Tammany politician washed
his hands Of his responsibility In the
matter and the two friends shook hands
and babe each other farewell

Libby and Shapiro were examined IN
the District Attorneys office and then
taken to Headquarters. Libby was ar
raigned before Coroner Feinberg, In
the Coroner's court. where he was
charged with homicide and remanded
10 Police Headquarters for twenty-four
hours on his own consent
Libby, It was said, denied to the po-
lice that he was in the gray car when
the shooting occurred. He said he had
rccn accustomed to take turns with
the car with Shapiro at the Cafe Bou-
'lcyard stand and that he had brought
4 party home from CoHcy Island about
midnight and then turned over the car
! TO Shapiro.
Shapiro came into the garage IN
Washington Square with the car be
tween and 3 o'clock, he said, and
later told him about the fares he had
had who went up In the Tenderloin and
did some shooting. Shapiro, he said,
picked up the four men az regular
fares, without knowing who they were,
and they had instructed him TO drive
them 10 43d street and afterWard COM
PEELED him TO drive them away In MAX
ing their escape.
Shapiro told him, he said, that h.
drove his fares after the shooting up
Sixth avenue to 5Sth street and
through to Third avenue, where they
left the car.
District Attorney Whitman, 20 whom
Libby mado statement was inclined
TO think that Libby had not been IN
the car, as he said. The police, how
ever, intimated that Libby was not only
in the car, but had taken part In
the actual shooting Of the gambler In
spector Hughes said they had not been
able 10 get much out OF the prisoner
CLARK" during the day, as he was
stubborn and tnciturn. The inspector
said, however, that CLARK" was present
OF the shooting. and was a very mate
rial witness in the whole matter.
The police soon identified the big
gray car as the same one in which Big
Jack" Zelig made n getaway from the
Criminal Courts Building accompanied
by a pirate crew Of East Side gang
sters after a murderous fight on the
steps of the building with members Of
a rival clan.
Zelig had appeared as a witness
against rival on trial, and the gang"
was evidently sent with the automobile
to kill any one who attempted to get
Zelig as he left the building Zeligs
friend and bondsman always had been
Sam Paul.

Libby in tho Hester Club.

The arrest Of Libby brought out a
strange chain Of incidents. 1t devel-
oped that he was once a power in the
Hesper Club in lower Second avenue,
Of which Rosenthal was once president
This Is the club that long fourlshed as
a gambling resort, and was said to be
under the wing Of East Side politicians
Gamblers wars have cropped out OF
the events that occurred at the Hesper
Club, or that have been connected with
It. In these feuds at least two murders
have been committed and bombs have
been thrown.
Another curious development was
that the garage in which the Libby car
was quartered. in Washington Square
South, was the same one in which Mon
TAM. one of the $4,000 "taxicab rob-
bers," kept his machine. According TO
the police the Libby machine has had a
fighting record for long time. 1t was
at one time the property Of the old
scrapper, John l.. Sullivan.

District Attorneys inclination to laugh
81 his fears, and said;
ITS straight goods, all right the
gangs are already hanging around my
neishborAood."
District Attorney Whitman said yes
terday that he did not understand at
the time what Rosenthal meant when
he referred to the gangs" but in the
lIsht OF the police developments later
it became evident that the gambler
probably had been done to death by
members OF one Of the old gangs
which he had known on the East Side
where he had once been a power in the
humber gambling world.

into their own hands because the gam

"profts" IN their own little world of

II Is hardly TO be expected that If the
word had gone out from certain police
oficiais who had had hand In the
dough bags Of the chance princes Of
the Tenderloin there would be nc seri-
Gus objection TO the removal of the
troublesome Rosenthal the police them
selves would be the ones to discover
that. fact.
Whitman to Probe Police.
That end Of the affair would be up to
the District Attorney. and he said yes
terday he would search the possibilities
Of the police element in Rosenthal's as
sassination with all expedition and
thorcughness. The investigation into
the charges made by the gambler
against Lieutenant Becker would be
begun to-day before the grand jury, de-
spite the death of Rosenthal, though
somewhat handicapped because OF his
sudden taking off, the District Attorney
said. IT,. ......
n Rosenthai had lived six hours
longer he would have furnished the
District Attorney with the names Of
ten gamblers ready to swear that they
had paid money 10 the police with reg
ularity IN order to do business Ro-
seminal and his wife were TO meet the
District Attorney at his house yester-
day morning at 8 o'clock, because Ro-
senthal feared for his life In going
again to the District Attorneys office.
That and other important informa-
ton the gambler intended to give the
District Attorney yesterday, Mr. Whit
man said. Many were willing to be-
lieve yesterday that Rosenthals inten-
ton in that respect became known after
he had visited the District Attorneys
office Monday, and had FASTENED his
death.
The element Of the East Side gang
ster as the instrument Of death in the
case Of Rosenthal was a strong factor
in all the police developments Of the
cage yesterday. The police asserted
that II had been one OF those quick
fatal strokes which the gangster deals
in a spirit Of revenge.
Marked Him for Death.
Rosenthal was marked for death at
an Informal council Of six gamblers and
East Side gangsters who met on the
excursion steamer Seagate last Sunday,
which was charted on that day by the

Detective an Eyewitness.

Detective William J. File. of the East
9th street station, who was In the Metro
pole at the time of the shooting of Rosen-
thai. told a detailed story of the affair
as he saw 1t to Inspector Hughes at Po-
lice Headquarters yesterday. He said
that he noticed the dead gambler enter
the Metropole restaurant about 1880
o'clock, and take seat at table where
three other men were sitting. Rosen-
that's companions at the table, according
TO Detective File, were Charles ODay.

Overheard at Poker Table.

The gambler explained that he was
standing behind the poker players ana
heard all that transpired The District
Attorney refused 20 tell all that the
gambler told him, but It is known that
gubpnnas will be issued for three OF
the men who were present at the time.
Sam Paul has not spoken TO Rosen-
thai In many months. His place, on
Third avenue, near 18th street, the old
Sans Souci Music Hall, has been raided
several times Of late. 1t was raided by
Lieutenant Becker twice, the first time
two months ago and again on Satur-
day, July 6.
Last Friday Rosentha called etten-
tion TO the Sans Souci, pointing out
that II was running full blast at that
moment.
III you were to go to the Sans Souci
now you would find six hundred men
playing stuss and shooting dice he
told half a dozen newspapermen at the
time.
On Monday night. six hours before
Rcsenthal was killed, Inspector ca

with several of his men, raided the
place and arrested three men, charg-
ing them with gambling. They are
now awaiting trial.

ton was given to District Attorney
Whitman yesterday BY well known
gambler.
This association, existing only Tor
the purpose Of holding an annual OUT

headed by Sam" Paul. proprietor OF

Many politicians from all parts u
the town, gamblers, gangsters ana
others who neither spin nor sew, were
on the steamer last Sunday, and all
were discussing Rosenthars affidavit
showing collision between the gamble
and the police.
The GAMBLERS story Of the plot to
kill Rosenthal was told in detail. VITA
the names Of three OF the men, to the
District Attorney. OF the three men
mentioned. one was a former partner
OF Rosenthal in one Of his gambling
houses, who has been on bad terms
with Rosenthal since they quarrelled
over gambling profits. One other is a
notorious East Side character, and the
third has been q collector from GAM
Ling houses for the police.
The gambler told Mr. Whitman that
these three, and three others, all OF
whom were PLAYING poker, were dis
cussing RoscnthGrs accusations.
"One Of the gamblers" said District
Attorney Whitman's informant who
was formerly the owner Of a poolroorn
OF the East Side, but Of late has been
doing business In the Tenderloin, said:

It was not long after the shooting
before the owner and chauffeur OF the
big gray automobile which carried the
men away who did the shooting were In
the hands Of the police. A witness had

and the police found 1t in the wash

of the car with William Shapiro, who

OF the Cafe Boulevard, Second avenoe

the forenoon. Libby was charged with
homicide, evidently. because he was the
principal owner OF the car, and Sha-
piro was held as material witness.
A third prisoner was taken to Police
Headquarters in the afternoon, whose
name Inspector Hughes said was John
Clark, with many aliases, who was sup
posed to know a great deal about the
whole affair.
The three prisoners were closeted
with Inspector Hughes and Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty practically all
day at Police Headquarters. without
much informatio coming from the po-
lice officials In regard to their progress

This is a very serious question and

in American life. Some of US who spent

AMERICANS AND BOHEMIANs.

The aggressive candidacy Of a man
OF Bohemian ancestry for the position
OF Mayor Of Cedar Rapids will call the
attention OF many thoughtful persons
OF central Iowa to the change that has
been wrought in the character of the
citizenship OF this part of the state
during the past third OF a century.

quite the fashion to sheer and jeer at

number being section hands on the
Northwestern railroad and drawing 81
