Aicago, Aug. 26.-There is already
activity at the republican head
oh Ars in this city, and former Con-
gresfnan Dtekema of Michigan, who is
in charge Of the speakers bureau. ap-
parently has busy ten weeks ahead
OF him.
Diekema is something of whirl-
wind as was proved during the pre-
convention campaign in Michigan,
when he handled the fight for Presi-
dent Taft so successfully. In fact,
the x-congressman's effective work
in Michigan last spring more than
anything else won him the job which
he now holds.
Within a short time Diekema will
have on the hustings a number of re-
publican orators of national note.
He is making a special effort to en-
list in the fight progressives who were
for Roosevelt at the Chicago con-
vention. Chief among these progress
sives is Senator Borah, who will make
a number of speeches for Taft.
Governor Hadley, too, is supporting
Taft, and a great effort will be made
to get him on the stump. Cummins
and Kenyon, the Iowa senators, will
also be asked to make speeches for
the Taft candidacy.
Diekema is a very wise and a very
seasoned campaigner and he appre-
ciates the importance of putting on
the stump In the middle west re-
publicans who have been identified
with the progressive wing of the party.
For this reason, not many stand pat
orators will be brought into Illinois,
which gave Colonel Roosevelt such a
large majority in the popular primary
last spring.

New York, Aug. 26.--The stories told
by "Bfg Jack" Zelig, notorious east
side gang leader, and Sam Schepps,
''nlurderer'a paymaster," are said to
have supplied the last links in the
chain of evidence against Police Lieut..
Charles Becker and the six others in
dicted in connection with the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, gambler.
Zelig's story, supported by Schepps'
statement, was that Lieutenant Beck
er, after deciding that Rosenthal must
die, framed up his arrest by having
some one drop a revolver in his pocket,
which, under the Sullivan law, means
seven years in the penitenttary.
Becker, then believing he had zelig
in his power, forced Jack Rose, Brid-
gle Weboer and Harry Vallon, gamb-
Iers, now held in jail as witnesses. to
raise $4,000 for zelig's bond. After
Zelig was released on BAIL, some one
acting for Becker, it is said, told Zelig
that If he provided gang men to do
away with Rosenthal he'd have a good
chance of clearing himself of the gun

Best Detectives Of Country
Ferreting Out Evidence

New York, Aug. 26.-It is said that
some of the best known men in New
York are keenly worried for fear of
being exposed as owners of some OF
the lowest gambling dives of the city.
With the appointment of w. j. Flynn,
chief OF the local secret service. as
chief investigator of the aldermanic
investigation committee, came the
news today that the ablest detectives
in the country will aid Flynn in fer
reting out evidence, of police black
mail. The investigating committee
plans to meet tomorrow for the pur-
pose of further organization. Counsel
for Police Lieutenant Becker, now be-
hind the bars on the charge OF insti-
eating the murder of the gambler. Her.

pairing the defense of the accused lieu~

q gamblers plot, headed by Bald
Jack Rose and the men who have
supported his Confession"
Rose and these men, counsel will
assert. have reasons to seek revenge
on Becker for his activity against
them. 1t Will be further alleged that
the plot to murder Rosenthal was con-
ceived three months before he was
killed, but the plan was abandoned at
the instance of certain east side
gamblers. 1t will be contended that
Rogenthad was offered $4,000 to 70 to
Canada, but that when he demanded
$4,000 1t was decided to make away
with him.

LARGEST AUTO
Shipment MADE

Detroit, Aug. 26.-The largest ship
just left this city for Kansas City. In
the shipment were $50 complete Ford
cars. The most striking feature of
this record breaking event is the fact
that the $50 Fords were all packed in
twenty -four freight cars. There were
two cars Of dashes. one car of radi-
ators, six cars of motors, nine cars of
frames, one car Of wheels, three cars
Of tenders, one car of tanks and one
Every inch of space in the freight cars
was utilized in packing the shipment.
Had the automobiles been assembled
before shipment, they would have fill
ed 210 freight cars. The value of the
shipment was approximately S434,7 ,700.
The automobiles will assembled at

carrying charge; if he didn't, it meant
seven years for him. zelig got the
men and then left town.
Zelig's story serves two purposes.
Not only does it clinch two or three
points in the case against Becker and
the men who actually murdered Ros-
enthal, but it may act as safeguard
against punishment in the pending
case against Zelig. This case rests on
charges formulated by Becker and his
strong arm squad" Zelig has shown
ability to prove that in this charge at
least he has been made the victim of
injustice-that the accusation rested
on a "frameup."
1t is believed that the gangster viii
more than destroy the charge against
him-that out of his testimony and
that of the other witnesses will come
two indictments against two men who
were high in Beckers confidence and
who took leading parts in the move
ments of the fieutenant's raiders. The
indictments will be for perjury and op-
preston.

Adjourn Tonight,
The leaders of both sides declared
this forecasts the adjournment of con-

practically no business on hand and
only waited on the senate. The house
took an adjournment at 2:25 until 3.25
on the theory that the senate would
