Denoted Police Inspector
Gives Startling Information
of New York Police Graft

New York and an eye witness of the
murder of the gambler Herman Rosen-
thai, says he will help District Attor-
ney Whitman in every way but will
not return to the United States.
In reply to the district attorneys
wireless request that he return to
America, Coupe cabled a refusal to-
day. Later COUPE said: MY consci-
ence tells me that 1 snould help Mr..
Whitman, but 1 prefer to do this by
giving my deposition here, The fntf-
nation that was paid to leave New
York is a wicked falsehood. The
standing OF my people here ought to
prove sufficient refutation Of that
story. Frankly speaking, 1 did run
away from New York, for I am con-
vinced 1 was serving my personal in
terests by so doing"
Coupe appears to ne on the verge OF
nervous breakdown. Some of his
friends believe he was driven from
New York by death threats.
Coupe said today:
From a window OF the Ellzs Club
saw the gray motor car so plainly that
I could identify it's number and could
also identify every man who got into
it. Several policemen could see every
thing as well as 1 could, but l saw
nothing to indicate that they made any
attempt to stop the assassins.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 4.-Charges Of
fraud in connection with the recent
primary will be r:gidly probed by a
special committee of seven appointed
today by the chairman of the state ex-
ecutive committee under authority of a
of the committee.
Attorneys for Judge Ira B. Jones,

Senator Ben Tillman were fled The
protests against Tillman's nomination
are on the ground that he failed to
file his expense account. They were

faction would do all in it's power to
prevent an investigation.

his brother. He laid the charge of
fraud at the door of the Jones faction
but at the same time bitterly fought a
resolution which had for its object a
searching investigation into tre alleged

DEMOCRATS POLL LARGEST
VOTE IN STATE SINCE 1880

White River Junction, VT, Sept A.
A more accurate idea of the strength
OF the Democrats and Progressives in
yesterdays state election was to be
had today from almost complete re-
turns of the 246 cities and towns. The
Democrats polled the largest vote since
1880. With only six small towns to be
heard from, the vote for governor
stood:
Allen NJ. Fletcher, (Republfcan) 25.-
Bel; Harlan B. Howe, (Democrat) 49,
7S7; Rev. Frazer Metzger, (Progres-
Bivel 1886; Clement F. Smith, (Pro-
hibitionist) 1,516; Fred M. Suiter
(Socialistl 1854.
The six missing towns cast a total
vote two years ago of 1.17S. of which
the Republicans held 7S9 and the Dem
ocrats 364.
Returns for senators and representa-
tives from three-quarters of the cities
and towns showed that the Republic
ans will have no difficulty in seating
their candidates for governor ant
other state officers when the legisla.
ture is called upon to elect, there
having been no majority in yesterday.
