BANKERS HELP
UNCOVER GRAFT
Clearing House Orders Records Of De-
posits Given to Prosecutor.
BECKER WEALTH CAME RAPIDLY
Anxious to Break Up Alliance Be
tween Police and Gamblers New
York Institutions Break Long
Established Custom.

New York, Aug. 14.-Powerfu
banking interests, acting through the
New York clearing house committee
came to the aid of District Attorney
Whitman in his efforts to show a
corrupt alliance between police and
gamblers, founded on graft and black
mail.
A virtual command was given by
| the committee to all banks in the
clearing house to furnish the district
attorney with record of deposits
they may have received from any OF
the high police officials whom the dis
trct attorney suspects of having been
collectors of blackmail from the dis
orderly elements of the city.
Got $58,845 in Eight Months.
Records show that within the last
eight months Police Lieut.. Charles
Becker, charged with the murder of
Herman Rosenthal and accused OF
gambling graft, has made deposits in
four banks of $5S,S45 in his own
name or that of his wife.
. Becker's salary as a police iieuten
ant was s2,25O year.
These deposits were first made ir
November, 1911, shortly after Becne.
became head of the strong arm
squad of gambling raiders, and con.
tinued all during the time that Jacl
Rose says he was collecting graft TO-
Becker and until after his arrest.
Used Four Other Banks.
The district attorney has beer
promised records of Becker's deposits
in four other banks which have moi
yet had time to go over their &C.
counts.
Although the natural feeling OF
bank officials is to protect as legal
ly confidential secret the amount OF
deposits of their customers, Whitman
was assured by leading bankers OF
the city that they were anxious as
public spirited citizens to have the
police force purged of it's grafters,
and that they would give him every
aid in their power.
The district attorney is holding for
presentation to the grand jury evi.
dence by which he expects to convict
four police inspectors on the charge
of collecting blackmail from gambling
houses and disorderly resorts.
Fortunes Hidden Away.
These four men are all aware, it is
said, of the nature of the evidence
which the district attorney has
against them and have been making |
every effort to cover their tracks. |
Thus far the states Investigators |
have uncovered bank accounts of two
of them totalling $4,000. The prose.
cutor expects, however, with the aid |
of the clearing house officers to un |
earth bank accounts of four of them
which are expected to disclose some
surprisingly large fortunes, in one
case an accumulation Of nearly ST.

ARMY OFFICERS TRIAL
 HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Absence of County Attorney Delays Trial of Cavalry
 men at Douglas

The trial of Lieutenants Holderness and Howard, of the Ninth Cavalry, Mexican Consul Cuesta, Powell Rob erts and a Mexican named Diaz, who surrendered since the Mexico Hotel affair, which was to have been held at Douglas yesterday, was postponed on account of the absence Of County Attorney w. G. Gilmore. who is at tending superior court at Tombstone, and was unable to go to Douglas, it it said. The postponement was in. definite, no date having been set for the hearing. It is said that this is the only thing that is delaying the hearing. It is believed however. that the trial will be got 10 some day this week.
 The public is greatly interested 'n the case. and the proceedings will be watched with interest. United States Attorney Morrison. who is looking af- ter the interests of the two lieuten- ants, has gone to San Francisco to attend the circuit court Of appeals. but has deputiZed counsel to look after his clients. Sheriff Wheeler takes issue with Mir Morrison's view of the law in the case. and this makes an issue between the state and federal authorities. the solution of which will be of public interest.

ROYAL THEATER HAS
 EXCELLENT PROGRAM

Without doubt the most versatile picture program ever shown in Bis bee will be the offering at the Royal TheateT commencing with today's matinee, which consists of maya! dem. onstrations, industrial pictures, ma ture studies, western Indian dramas, strong dramatic photoplays and up to date comedy. This program has been selected with the utmost care and consideration in the endcavor to of. Fer a diversified program that win appeal to the varied tastes of our many patrons. This is one of the many features that distinguish the ly seen in picture houses throughout the country.
 One of Best In World.
 We don't claim that we have the best show in the world. but We do claim that we have one among the best. We get the pest pictures to be obtained irrespective of cost We try to get pictures that will please everybody, men, women and children of all classes and We usually sue ceed. Correct effects are never ac- cidental. It's no accident ,that makes our pictures so steady. clear and free from eye strain. It's sim ply because We have the best opera tor to be obtained, and the latest and most modern projecting ma chimes made. and the best picture screen that money can buy.
 Talk Is Supported.
 Now this may sound like an essay on the suurEmacy of our theater over all other theateTs on earth but il isn't that really. We talk a whole lot, but We try, always. to back up our talk with actual deeds. We set a splendid standard and have main tained it. This is the excuse" our patrons have for liking our show, and it isn't such a worse excuse" is it? Advertisement.
