FEAR REVENGE OF GAMESTERS
ONE RETRACTS STATEMENT AND
is HELD FOR PERJURY.
Efforts Of District Attorney Whitman
Are Temporarily
Blocked.

New York, July 25.--Fear of re-
senge Mt the hands of East Side gang
sters ever present in the minds of
witnesses in the Rosenthal murder
investigation temporarily blocked the
efforts of District Attorney Whitman
to draw closer the lines about the
men who assassnated the gambler
eight days ago. Apparently awed by
the presence of gangsters in the cor
oners court, John Reisler, Il barber
known to the sporting fraternity as
John, the Barber" retracted ut the
coroners examination statement he
is alleged to have made few min
utes earlier to MIR. Whitman that he
had seen 'T'ridgie" Weber, now I'M
der arrest, running from the scene Ct
the murder. After Relster had de-
MED his earlier statement he was ar
rested on charge Of perjury.
The coroner's hearing was in the
nature Of an examination Of "Bridgie"
Weber and Sam Paul, both Of whom
are charged with completely in the
murder of Rosenthal. The prosecu-
ton charges that 1t was in Webber's
gambling house, near the scene of the
murder at Forty-third street and
Broadway, that the murder gang con-
gregated to go to the place of the
killing. It, was to connect Weber
more closely with the case that John,
the Barber" was placed on the stand.
Having failed in his attempts to get
desired statements from the witness,
District Attorney Whitman secured an
adjournment of Webber's examination
for 48 hours, in order that more wit
nesses might be secured to bring out
his connection with the case.
The examination of Sam Paul was
likewise put over.
1t is believed that Mr.. Whitman Is
laying his lines to force from Web
Der a statement which will implicate
those higher up" in the case.
1t is at the door Of the police sys-
tenn" that the district attorney places
the responsibility for the murder of
the man who had charged that the
police were exacting tribute from
gamblers in this city. and Mr.. Whit
man has admitted that he Will make
1t easy for those under arrest If he
can secure the evidence which he de-
sires against tho police.

Convention.

Des Moines, July 25.-Enthusiasm
marked The closing scenes in the first
Iowa state Progressive party conven-
tion hero when platform containing
a plank declaring for the direct cleo
ton of postmasters by their constitu-
encies was adopted with three atlirma-
tive cheers. There was no negative
vote.
The convention chose full set of
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago, headed by John l.. Stevens
of Boone, organized working state
central committee, and provided for
congressional district and county Or
CARNATIONS.
The platform, in addition to the pro-
posed reform in the selection OF post
masters, is mainly devoted to national
issues. 1t condemns the Republican
national convention and Republican
national committee at Chicago; sew
verely criticses President Taft as q
reactionary and denounces what Is
nllegede to be his subserviency to
the special interests: eulogies Theo
Roosevelt as the foremost man for
his nomination and election; urges
popular primaries in the selection Of
United States senator's: indorses the
initiative and referendum and asks
for the physical valuation of railroad
properties and a protective tariff suit
ed to the fostering of labor in domes-
tic manufacturers, agriculture and
other industries"
A. d. Pugh, Des Moines Socialist,
created considerable excitement by ap-
pearing before the convention on q
proxy of one Of the regular delegates
and demanding that the platform de-
clare for the recall. The proposition
was quickly referred to committee
upon the motion Of Mr.. Stevens.
The first enthusiast broke loose a
few minutes after the convention
opened, when q telegram from Colonel
Roosevelt, congratulating Iowa Pro-
gressives, was read.
Charles Talmadge of Boston led the
delegates into another burst of en-
thusiasm when he criticised Gov. B.
F. Carroll for the latter's recent de.
ferse Of the Chicago convention.
That portion Of the platform re-
ferring to President Tart reads as fol-
lows:
1--WE here utter solemn protest
against what has been done at Chicago
and Baltimore in two national conven.
tions and against what had been done
and is being done at Washington by a
president who has proven recreant to
the trust imposed in him and who long
ago definitely and completely aban.

TARIFF BOARD IS
GIVEN A CHANCE
YEARS WORK BY EXPERTS 10
MADE POSSIBLE BY ACTION
OF THE SENATE.

Made Depends on HOUSE
Cemocr tic Plan
DEF ated.

washington, j .ly "a. - President
faft's tariff board has secured the
promise Of one more year of life from
he senate.
After short fight that body, by q
vote of "a to 20, authorized in the
sundry civil appropriation bill an ex-
penditure Of $225,0OO for another
years work of investigation by the
.ariff experts.
Whether the appropriation is finally
made will depend OH the strength with
which the house resists the senates
demands. The house re used to pro-
vide for the tariff board when it franz
ed the sundry civil bill and it's con-
ferees are expected to fight the pro-
vision when the big supply measure
Is sent into conference between the
Two houses.
Democrats opposed the triff board
provision with but three exceptions
Senator Chamberlain, Newlands and
Thornton, while the regular and Pro-
sressiye Republicans We're united In
It's support.
The first move by the Democrats
was an amendment by Senator Stone
Rnd Bacon for congressional tariff
commission to consist of five senators
and five members of the house. This
plan was defeated by straight party
vote Of 81 to 21.
The presidential tariff board was
made for subservient to congress, how.
sver, by an amednment of Senator
Bristow's accepted by the senate with
put q vote and which requires the
board to report to congress once each
year. An attempt by Senator Stone to
reduce the apprc priation from s225, 200
10 100000 was defeated.
The senate practically completed
the sundry civil bill, but the passage
Of the measure was delayed until
This morning. The most important
changes affected by amendment in ad-
aition to the adoption Of the tariff
board were:
An amendment restricting the en-
ployment of ex-employes of the federal
department of justice as private coun-
yel for the government at increased
compensation.
An amendment for 100000 addi-
Eional appropriation to the pension Of
ice to aid the commissioner in handl-
ing the 100000 claims arising under
the new law.
President Taft's tariff veto message
Ind the work of some of the experts
IN the tariff board, were bitterly ar
:aigned during the debate in the SEN
lte.
Senator Overman declared President
raft's veto message on the cotton
chemical schedule was zone of the
most remarkable documents ever
penned, or ever sent to congress-" lie
declared the president had been mis-
led by an expert of the tariff board
who had made calculations on a false
basis Of prices" and using the short
! instead Of the long ton in his work of
estimation. On this authority, said
'Benator Overman, President Taft had
Ient veto message as to the chemi-
cal schedule that was full of errors

ARMIES CLASH IN WISCONSIN
ABOUT 200 SOLDIERS "klLLED.'
MANY WOUNDED.
5000 Troops, Including Guardsmen, In
Mimic War
Game.

Camp Douglas, Wis, July Is. -
About 200 soldiers, technically, were
killed, many were wounded, scores of
spies and prisoners were captured
and bridges and railroads were blown
up as the rise of the war departments
plans began to simulate actual war
conditions for United States regulars
and state militia troops.
Between here and Camp Mccoy, "a
miles to the west, the government
has arranged battlefield upon which
In the next ten days 5000 troops
with blank cartridges, cannon and
other accoutrements are to undertake
a campaign on an extensive scale.
The first days casualties We're the
result of the advance Of the regular
troops known as the "Red Army
from Camp Mccoy to point almost
half way here.
The theory is that the Reds have
invaded hostile country by crossing
the Mississippi river at La Crosse
and without the knowledge of the
Blues, stationed there, are advancing
to take possession. The composition
of the opposing armies is:
Reds-First U. S. provisional regi.
ment, 1850 men from Fort Sheridan
ILL.,, Fort Smelling, Mimi, Fort Crook
Neb., and Fort Brady, Mich, com.
manded by Col. R. N. Getty; two
squadrons of the Sixth U. S. cavalry,
500 men, under Col. Charles O'Con
nor, Battery D. Fifth Field Artillery.
Fort Smelling, $50 men, under Captain
Greene; one-half field hospital, 40
men, Fort Russell, Wyo., under Lieu
tenant Carter.
Blues-Second and Third Wisconsin
and Third Illinois National Guard reg.
iments, 1000 men; Third squadron Of
the 18th cavalry, Fort Sheridan, ESQ
men; Battery A, First Wisconsin ar.
tillery, Milwaukee, 80 men; one-halt
an ambulance company, Fort Leaven.
worth, Kan, 40 men.
The advance of the Reds from
Camp Mccoy was as warlike as heavy
firing could make it. Scouts were
sent ahead and soon the whole army,
commanded by General Ralph w.
Hoyt of St Paul, senior general OF
the department of the Lakes, was
pouring forth shells from infantry and
artillery.
But as the Blues were still at Camp
Douglas the effect of the firing was
only in technical points.
The suppositious dead were given
hypothetical funerals, and the wound.
ed were literally carried to real hos
pitfalls.
Umpires, headed by Maj. Riechman
Boer and other wars, determined the
amount of damage. On men stretched
on the battlefield were pinned tags
designating them as wounded in the
leg or dead.
