PARIS, July 16-Hubert Lath-
am, the famous French aviator,
was killed by a buffalo June z,
while hunting near the source OF
the River Nile, according to q
cable message received by the
government here today from the
governor general of the French
Congo. A government official
broke the news to his mother, for
whose sake Latham gave up fly
ing some time ago.
Latham was one of the pioneers
In aviation in France. He was a
skillful mechanic, as we'll as a
daring pilot of heavier than air
craft, and up to the time of his
retirement from the sport of fly
ing took part in every important
aviation contest held in Europe,
in many of which he was q VIC
tor. He was we'll known in Amer
fca, where he accomplished many
great feats.
1t was on rhinoceros shooting
expedition that he went to Africa.
His body will be brought home
for burial.
Latham became a celebrity IN
aviation circles on the strength or
a series of remarkable flights
early in 1909, winning the Goupy
prize June II of that year with q
record of 80 miles in SO minutes
at a height of 60 meters. "A
month later he made series or
unsuccessful attempts to fly the
English channel, but twice fell
into the water, whence he was
fiished out by the crews of war
vessels.
Latham's flying was radically
all done in the Antoinette mono
plane.

NEW YORK, July 16.-The
most sensational gang murder"
in the history of New York was
committed at O'Clock this morn
ing in the very heart of the new
tenderloin. Herman Rosenthal,
noted gambler, and the storm
center of the city's latest gamb-
ling scandal, was shot to death
in the glare of the lights of the
Hotel Metropole. His murderers,
utilizing modern methods. came
to the scene and escaped In high
power automobile which outdis-
tanced the taxicabs pressed into
service for pursuit by the police.
One important arrest had been
made up to the middle of the
morning. The accused man is
Louis Libby, 35 years Of age or
No. So Stuyesant street. He was
licked up In a garage at ~ South
Washington square, two hours
after the killing. Deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty, who
was In direct charge of the man.
hunt, insisted he had three wit
nesses who knew Libby and posi-
lively identified him as the chaur-
feur of the cars in which the muir
derers made their escape, and one
witness who swore that Libby
fired at Rosenthal.
The murder was probably the
most carefully planned and cold
blooded of the recent gang kill
ings in this city. Rosenthal was
one of the best known of the So
called cheaper" gamblers of the
city.
Rosenthal had been in the
Metropole for some time and came
out just about a. m. He met
a man there and stood chatting
with him for few minutes. AS
he turned away big slate color
ed touring car drove up and three
men alighted. The first man
cut began pumping bullets from
an automatic gun. The first bull
let sped true to the mark, caus-
ing instant death. AS Rosenthal
fell, the other shots struck him,
inflicting additional wound DIS.
The man who did the shooting
disappeared while his companions
jumped into the big car, which
sped away.
Little sympathy was felt for
the dead man, either by the po-
lice, who were chasing his assail-
ants, or by the gamblers, who
gazed at the body as it lay on the
sidewalk, awaiting the arrival OF
! the coroner to order it's removal
to the morgue. The police were
sore" because Rosenthal had de-
clared that Lieut.. Becker, one OF
their number, had "cut in" on his
gambling house and demanded a
$50 per cent takeoff'' in return
for a loan.
The gamblers had turned
against Rosenthal, because he had
"squealed," the code of the fra
ternity being that, no matter what
happened, man should fight his
own fights, without appealing
either to the courts or to the pc.
lice.
The police arrested one man
