In industry. The Progressive platform
has declared for legislation covering all
these points. But In one or two cases,
such as the bakeshop decision. the Su-

New York cannot have such laws.
In other States, In Massachusetts,, for

Becker's Defence.

\ story in circulation Yesterday that
Becker's defence would be that Rosen-
thal was shot by Harry Nallon after
vallon got drunk in Bridgie Webber's
poker rooms, was not taken seriously by
the District Attorneys assistants.
They pointed out that there are FIVE
witnesses Of the murder other than ac-
completes who have identified Rosen-
zweig, Muller, Horowltz and Crofici as
the men who fired the shots Schepps
has 80 far not attacked Roses confes-
sion except as to who paid the murder
crs. Rose had been quoted as saying
that Schepps handed 81 900 to Rosen-
Zweig and IIorowitz. But Rose in his
statement TO the District Attorney said
that he, not Schepps, paid over the
money.
Reckcr's main defence will be that a
crew of gamblers who hated him be-
cause of his activity in suppressnS
their games conspircd to throw upon
him the guilt of the murder,
Lawyers expect "a great deal from the
appointment of Supreme Court Justice

pretty general expression ~ approval
of the Governors action yesterday. II
was said that much more can be On

Police Got the Evidence.

Police Got the Evidence.
The Commissioner. II was known.
acted Friday on other information than
that obtained by Assistant District At d.
torney James l.. Smith in raidinS dis
orderly houses Smith raidcd In the
lower part of the old Tcndcrloin. In
spcctor Lahcy's district. The evidence
that disorderly houses were running in
IIayes's district was obtained by Waldo's
own men. SO the police were asking
yesterday, Wat does the Commissioner
intend TO do TO Jahey?
Commissioner Waldo left tho city on
FRIDAY night to he away until to-mor-
row. but before he left hc gave a plain
jntiination that he intends to rid the
town of protected vice or rid tho Police
Department of several very we'll known
inspectors. As usual. tho commissioner
did not want To he quoted on these mat =
tcrs or about his attitude generally on
the developments In the RoSenthaI case,
but 1t is known that Mr. Waldo is in
ccnscd because he has discovered that
men whom he has trusted have been de-
cciving him and have been making dis
ingenious reports as to actual Condi-
tions in their districts.
Stories have been going around that
he has placed his resignation in the
hands OF the Mayor. This Commissioner
Waldo emphatically denies. There has
been no difference between him and
Mayor Gayror. he tells his friends. and
the Mayor has not dictated what course
he shall take. Waldo's attitude is that
he doesn't want tu suspend or discipline
policemen without having proofs that
they have been graftcrs. He Is con-
ducting an investigation of his own
along these lines and 1t IL known that
lie will submit tn the District Attorney
any evidence he may uncover. Lieut..
tostiSans frequent visits to the Com
missioner have led TO the conjecture
that maybe tho Honest Cop" is after
graft evidence for his chief.
More of Bcckcr's Money.
District Attorney Whitman was in
Manchester, VT, yesterday. His as
sistants in charge of the graft side of
the Rosenthal case went ahead getting
evidence as TO the prosperity OF Lieut..
Charles Becker and other policemen ac-
cused of blackmail. II was given out
that figures have been obtained as to
TWO more Becker bank accounts In this
city, accounts totallinG about $4,000.
On Friday information was got as to
Two deposits aggregating $4,000. Yes
terday's discoveries brought the Becker
deposits up to about 100000. The Dis
triCt Attorney has pointed out that
some newspapers have printed inac-
curate and confusing figures as to the
Becker deposits. due TO their having
duplicated items in the Corn EXchance
Bank deposit. The correct figures as

Democrats are also attacking Flatcha, whose wealth is estimated at S20. O0O eco on the score of taxes, stating tina his property is undervalued and tba. he is escaping taxation.
 c. F. Smith, the Prohibition can. dldate, while professins to be cerfai, of large following in the comipe election will in reality have litf1f weight upon the result except throuef the note of discord he has infected into the Republican ranks by reason of his espousal of the Prohibition cause, and his popularity with the state Grangers.
 The big fight it may be said. lies between the Republicans, Progress slVes and Democrats with the most interesting portion of this three-cor- nered conflict in the field of Pro- 9ressive-Republicanism. Roosevelt has attained great popularity with a considerable portion of the G. 0. P electorate, but is cordially hated by the other members of the Republican faith. Taft on tie other hand, is anathema to the Roosevelt Republi- cans, and these two divisions of the once G. 0. P. have indnlged in the most bitter prediction campaign personalities.
 These exchanges of pleasantries were most heated during the past week when Colonel Roosevelt circu- led the state and spoke at Rutland Middlebury, Burlington, Barre, White River Junction, and Bellows Falls To controvert the assertions of the doughty Colonel the Republican Ma tional Committee sent galaxy oi campaign stars to camp upon his trial. Among these were Borah, Wat son, Townsend, Foss, of Illinois, Me Call, Batchelor, Yates and others.
 Each of the three leading parties determined to get out a record vote on Tuesday and to this end instituted contests for town representatives in villages and hamlets throughout the state, in addition to fostering parti- sanism by prediction literature o1 the most heated type. It is expected therefore, that the record poll of Yer mont, 64,006 votes in the presiden- tial year of 1908 will be at least equalled if not beaten by the ballot registered on September 3.

MANY DEVELOPMENTS

New York. Aug. 31-The trial of the allesed murderers of Gambler Herman Rosenthal and an investiga- tion of the graft and grafters of New York, scheduled to take place before the special term of the Supreme Court. which convenes here on Sept. 3. was the sole topic of conversation in the underworld today. Prominent persons in the tenderloin prophesled that the revelation of vice conditions they think bound to ensue would shake the police and civil adminlstra- ton of Gotham to their very founda- tens.
 Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, Frank Muller "Whitey Lewis, Frank Cirofici "Dago Frank Louis Rosen- berg .'Lefty Louie,' Harry HoroWl'z "Gib the Blood,' Jack Sullivan and Williams Shapiro have been indicted for the murder and are scheduled to stand trial at the coming special 
 term of the Supreme Court.
 If is not thought likely, however, that any of those named in the lndlct- ments will actually appear at the bar of justice fer weeks. rms oplnloh was horne out by the known lack ol a,i;;ence il. the hands of the authofl- ties and by the fact that Horo"ltz and Rosenberg were at liberty Wheii arrangements were made for the trlai Of the others.
