Times to Return.
REPORTED STILL 'ON MOVE
Assistant Prosecutor Will Aid
Curran Inquiry and Pre-
pare for Possible In
dictments.

District Attorney Whitman has obtained
from the informers in the Rosenthal-
Becker case stipulation whereby, among
other things, they have agreed TO Keep
in touch with him each week, or semi
monthly, until he calls upon them to re-
turn TO New York and appear as wit
nesses in possible further trials. That
does away with the uncertainty OF Sc
curing papers making 1t legal for the men
to be taken from one state to another.
Mr. Whitman declared yesterday that
he had received request from Emory X.
Buckner. chief counsel for the aldermanic
investigating committee, that j. Robert
Rubin Assistant District Attorney be as
signed to assist him in the investigation
of the Police Department Mr.. whitman
said that he was only too glad TO be able
TO assist Mr.. Buckner In any way pos
sible, and would ask Mr.. Rubin to report
on Monday morning to the committees
chief counsel. Mr. Buckner int!mated 70
Mr.. Whitman that there were a great
many facts brought out in the questioning
of police witnesses that might interest
him i'm his official capacity
No Town Wants lnformers.
II seems almost certain that the In
formers-Rose Schepps, Weber and Val
lon-if they are on their way westward
will have to join the focks Of wild ducks
or be welcomed by a sheriff and his six
shooter nj every city. village or hamlet
at which they attempt to get on In other
A.. nj from
here to San Francisco wants to have them
in It's midst Just through what psrticu-
lar section of the country the "squeaers"
may be passing seems not to be known.
The underworld is anxiously awaiting
news from somewhere, or anywhere. an
nouncing the fact that they have alighted.
Every police official from here 10 the Pa
cihc Coast has freely announced that the
informers cannot come here. for such
men are undesirable"
prummers Had Best Take Care.
There are deputy marshals. with big tin
stars, way down in dozens OF small
Western towns alongside the railroads
that spend most OF their tins watching
for them New York gunner" From
Dallas. Tex. comes the report that when
9. rancnman gets a day of these dsys he
leaps on the back OF his pony and hoofs
# down to the station. where he dis
mounts and awaits thu arrival OF Bald
Jack" Rose and hts companions None
Of them seems to believe that the news
paper photographs OF the gunner, clothed
In garments BETTING a dandy, cane be
true. Many travelling statesmen Of neat
appearance passing through Far Western
towns would do well to wear their Gre
dentials pinned 10 their coat fronts, lest
they be mistaken for tbs lnformer crowd.
1t is expected that Mr.. Rubin. Assistant
District Attorney. while assisting MI.
Bucknsr. will be kept fairly busy taking
down notes and parts OF testimony OF
policemen who will soon be In line for
indictment for the grand jury. Frequent
ly O. policeman, in attempting TO cloar
himself Of = greater crime, has willingly
confessed TO a lesser. Such information
is going to be valuable TO Mr.. Whitman,
il is understood.
