NEW YoRk's LATEST POLICE TRAGEDY.

Big Jack" Zelig generally undesirable citizen,
gang leader, and gun fighter, killed last night
on New York street car. One bullet fred into his
head, did the business. The shooting was done by
man who thus far has been in way connected with
the police murders of few weeks ago. He has been
caught and locked up.
Zelig had informed the police of the Identities Of
the four assassns Of Gambler Rosenthal; wherefore
he was an object of the acute animosiy of their
supporters in the underworld. He was expected to
be very important witness in their trials, and in
that Of Lieutenant Becker, charged with procuring
the Rosenthal murder. 1t is not yet clear whether
the removal of Zelig will vitality weaken the Of
the prosecution
II is certain however, that the gangsters would
have desired few things more than the removal Of
Zelig The wonder is that they could have induced
any man to murder him in the way II was done. The
only explanation is that the gang still believes it is
supreme in New York. that it is able to Illustrate all
the processes and ends Of justice, and to continue
murders on the public streets wherever and whenever
II seems opportune and desirable to remove" OBJ
jectionable persons.
This new tragedy, in view Of the events that have
gone before, and Of the state of public opinion, is
even more startling than was that Of Rosenthal.
Likewise, the failure Of the police to get at essential
information to its backing and inspiration, sug-
gests that the league between police and vice is still
intact and still working to preserve its CONTROL The
New York situation becomes more scandalous and
menacing than ever before.

LITTLE NATIONS WITH BIG ARMIES.
