Postmaster Johnson takes on him
self the credit of arresting Schepps
He attributed his success in apprehend-

being forewarned by a circular sent
out by the New York police.
There are three classes OF people
who use the registered mails, largely
gamblers. negroes and immoral char

Confided to Friend.

il was learned that Schepps last
week met an old schoolmate in this
city and in conversation with him told
him Of the break between Rosenthal
and Becker.
According to the story Schepps told
the friend, Rosenthal conducted a
gambling joint In Second avenue. which
was frequented by gunner and toughs
of every description. He managed to
escape the police graft for some time,
but was finally spotted by Jack Rose
and turned over to Becker. Rosenthafs
gambling house was then raided a
number Of times but finally ROsenthal
and Becker became friends, and later
they formed a partnership and opened
up a gambling resort i'm another section
of the city.
Rosenthal according 10 the story
was not So well supplied with cash as
many Of the other gamblers, 80 he took
in friend who had some money, and
the gambling house continued TO run.
Rose learned OF Rosenthals actions
in letting a third party In, and reported
the matter to Becker. with the result
that Becker sent a squad Of officers 10
the place and raided the house In
which he owned an interest This an
gered Rosenthal to the extent that he
decided to squeaI and this resulted in
his death.

John T. BoifeulIlet, private secretary 10
Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon said:

~ to one thing above all others-l take
daily plenty of exercise exclusively by
way of walking
Senator Bacon got me into the com
mendable habit of walking much and
walking far. 1t is. by all odds. the finest
exercise in the world. and the senator
practices il, and has for many wears
The senior senator from Georgia is one
of the noted walkers of Washington city
He lives on Oregon avenue, five miles
from the capitol and he makes the round
trip afoot every day Occasionally. com
ing in, ne may walk down as far as the
Raleigh hotel and then ride up the hill
to the capitol, but he never does that UNI
less he is unusually pressed for time
Chief Justice White and Mr.. Justice
Holmes, of the supreme court, are great
walkers, but neither is in class with
Senator Bacon. The senator is n years
of age and there isn't better specimen
of physical manhood in Washington over
so. He keeps his good health largely by
walking; he has sought most successfully
to balance his mental activity with physi-
cal exercise
II fell into the habit of walking with
him and | have grown very fond of the
exercise. concluded Mr.. Bofeuilet
walking is fine business for any man.
