CONFESSION BY SHAPIRO
PUTS MURDER high Up
Amazing Story Shows Mere
Criminals Did Not Plan Con-
spiraCy, Says Whitman.
SIX MEN HIRED FOR DEED
-Four of These Did Actual Shoot
ing Boob" Walker and
Judge" Hickey Con-
firm Chauffeur.

William Shapiro, chauffeur OF the
gray murder" car, Will go before the
grand jury Tuesday and tell all he
knows of the murder Of Herman Ro-
senthal.
This was decided upon yesterday af-
ternoon by the District Attorney after
Shapiro had made n clean breast Of
tho whole affair, in so far as he knew,
and volunteered 10 be n witness for
the state. His offer was accepted and
to-day he will be a witness against
billiard Ball Jack Rose and
"Rridgle" Weber when they arc ar
raigned before Coroner FeinberS.
Shapiro's confession was made in the
presence Of his counsel, Aaron J. Levy,
who after leaving the Office of the Dis
trict Attorney was asked what would
result from Shapiro's story.
IT am pledged to secrecy" said Mr..
Levy, but l know that II were the
Commissioner of Police of this city I
would cause the arrest of several men
at once"
Mr.. Levy refused 10 talk about what
transpired I'm the District Attorneys
office. but It can be stated on the best
Of authority that Shapiro told Mr..
Whitman that he knew Lieutenant
Charles Becker very well
PIotters Men of Intellect.
Shapiro's story was such a revela-
tlon to the District Attorney that after
the three hours conference with the
chauffeur he said:
"The story told by Shapiro is amaz-
ing II stamps this crime as one of tho
most carefully planned murders in
criminal annals. It was not plotted by
mere criminals alone, but by careful
thinking students of crime"
The strangest part of Shapiro's story
is that no took three men from "Bridgie'
Weber's gambling house TO the scene
of the murder, and that after the shoot
ing he took four men away. Two of
the trio were Harry Vallon and Sam
Schepps.
And OF the four only one had issued
forth from Weber's. And he was Sam
Schepps.
Other members OF the gang were
"Dago Frank" Harry Horowltz, alias
"Glb the Blood" and two others of big
jack Zelig's men, Lefty Louie" whose
real name is Louis Rosenberg or Ro-
sensweig, and Frank Muller, alias
white"
Six Mon Hired.
Shapiro's story shows that at least
six men were hired to be present when
the murder plot was to be carried out.
Four of these did the actual shooting,
Il was learned from two eyewitnesses
who were present and who told their
stories to the District Attorney yester-
day, and two OF the assassns stood
ready 10 prevent any interference.
These other two witnesses were John
j.. Hickey. known as Judge" Hickey.
and GRETCHEN Walker. known as Boob"
Walker. Both are well known TO the
gambling fraternity of the Tenderloin.
Shapiro also confirmed the story
previously told by others that Billiard
Ball Jack" Rose hired the car.

Committee, However, Agrees to Recon-
mend Reduction on Butter Substitute.
Washington. Jan. 19.-Representa-
tive Haugen yesterday fought the bill
to lower the tax on oleomargarine in
the subcommittee Of the house COM
mittee of agriculture Of which he is
q member. The Rurleson bill, which
would provide tax of 2 cents per
pound on all oleomargarine. was under
consideration. Present tax on colored
is 10 cents and uncolored a quarter Of
a cent. Mr.. Haugen combatted the
idea that under the Burleson bill more
effective regulation could be had and
insisted the present law was adequate
as a regulative measure if enforced.
He said the revenue officials should
become more active.
In spite Of the efforts Of Mr.. Haugen,
however, the sub committee favors the
bill and the committee on agriculture
will report it to the house It looks
much now as If the bill will pass the
house and perhaps the senate in spite
Of the opposition Of members from
states having large dairy interests It
IL argued that the bill will reduce the
cost OF living and many petitions for
1t are coming in.

BURNED By EXPLODING FILMS.
Mrs. e. n. Fitch, Of Grinneii, Injured
In Peculiar Manner.

Special to TimeS-Republican.
Grinnell. Jan. 19.-Mrs. E. II. Fitch.
1904 Hamilton avenue. this city, met
with an accident yesterday that leaves
her with some painful burns. She had
just crammed into the cook stove a
paper sack filled with grocers' bills
and some other small papers that had
been accommodating when. before she
even had time TO get away from the
stove, an explosion took place with
such violence as 70 throw off the COW
ers and make confusion general in the
kitchen. The flames shot up fiercely
and burned the entire length Of her
lower right arm but. fortunately, did
not set her clothing on fire. While
her burns are not deep they are quite
extensive and very painful. Mr.. Fitch
was at home and applied remedies
promptly and she is getting alons well
The only possible explanation that
they can give is that some films from
her kodak must have got mixed with
the miscellaneous papers. and they are
OF highly explosive nature.

The question is. where are the great
masses of the people to be when this
program of constructive legislation is
settled upon and adopted and the
country settles down again to the new
conditions? Is the average man to
have square deal where these great
interests touch him as they do at every
point-clothing. food, his house, his
fuel. or will they take more from him
than is right? OF course state admin
istration will have nothing to do with
these things, but these and other
problems under consideration are OF
vital Importance to the people OF the
state and should have attention in a
discussion of matters OF public i'm
port.
ii is said ana insisted aro1 that the
campaign for the nomination OF a can
didate for the office of governor must
be campaign for greater Iowa" No
issue can be raised upon that PROPOSE
ton. Everybody is for greater
Iowa" l am for great ter Iowa and
SO is every intelligent citizen of Iowa.
Every such man always has been.
Every such man always will be.
Local Issues Should Be Presented.
While l have said that the question
that must be very vital TO every citi-
zen OF great state is the matter OF
the readjustment and adaptation OF the
enormous business interests of the
country to the life and common well
fare of all the people, and that nobody
shall ever let up until that is fairly
and righteousfy done, and that these
matters should be presented and dis
cussed in the coming campaign. I say.
also. that local questions should have
very large and intelligent and indie
pendent consideration. Nobody is
ahead of me upon that suggestion. I
am the pioneer in that matter. Four
years ago before this very audience
said in speaking OF the Des Moines
plan that there never was any sense,
or possible Justification whatever for
carrying political }ssuss into city gov
eminent: that WE seldom have any
distinctively state issues and suggest
ed that state as well as city govern
ment might be conducted on like
principles.
Why Iowa Men Have Been Lured Away.
There seems to be feeling that
there is something the matter with
Iowa: that in the march of progress
she is falling behind :sthat in the mat
ter of developing elements of great
ness she has not had the benefit of
wise laws. The fact that the last CEN
sus revealed a slight decrease in popu
lation has also seemed to have had a
very disturbing effect. That such a
result appeared it seems to me is not
altogether surprising. For years the
state has been flooded with literature
extolling what were called the rich,
cheap lands OF Canada, the Dakotas,
the mountain states, the Pacific coast
states, the great plains of the south
west. The richness of these lands in
all kinds of crops and fruits, the salu-
briousness of the climate in many
places have been pictured in the most
attractive way. Railroad companies. in
order TO attract settlers and develop
business along new lines in the great
northwest in Canada as well as the
states and in the southwest, have been
uncea sing in their efforts
The cities and towns all over the
state have been full Of agents and pro-
motors for the sale and investment in
