ing Herman Rosenthal. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Frank Moss began his ad-
dress to the jury at the opening Of court.

Rosenthal, who was about to make an eX-
posure of his illegal relations with
Becker. Rose told them that Becker
would job them for carrying concealed
weapons, as Jack Zelig had been jobbed,
il they did not do his bidding.
Objects to Word "Gunmen."
Attorney Wahle for the defense OBJ
iected to the prosecutors characteriza-
ton of his clients as "gunmen."
THE word is not in the dictionary" he
protested. 1T is an invention Of journal

ular," said Mr.. Moss.

and the word has no place in this court
room," retorted Mr.. Wahle.
Mr. Moss referred thereafter to these
defendants" He described how they
gathered at "Bridgie' Webber's poker
rooms before the murder. and went on:
Every one Of these four men was ar
essential factor in the murder. 1t is not
necessary for US to show that it was
Whitley Lewis who fired the particular
shot that killed Rosenthal. and | don't
believe we shall be able to show which
of the four actually put the bullets into
Rosenthal."
The claim OF the state is that each Is

Friends Among Democrats.

The prediction that DR.. Doolittle, IL
nominated by Mr.. Taft, may be able to
hold his office only until the democrats
come in is not regarded as an accurate
one. Dr. Doolittle is said to have some
strong friends among the democrats. His
office is not political and was never held
to be such. If he is named by the PreSl-
dent it is said to be quite unlikely that
he will be disturbed by the democrats.
From President Taft down republican
leaders generally believe that Gov VII
son soon will make announcement OF MS
PURPOSE to call Congress in extra session
to revise the tariff. Representative Serene
Payne OF New York. long chairman OF
the ways and means committee OF the
House under republican rule, is laying his
wires for an extra session. He saw and
talked with the President today Along
in February there will be number OF
conferences at the White House on the
republican attitude on the tariff.
Whatever opposition the democrats nave
will come from the republicans, as the
ma jority of the progressive repuDicans
now in the House have voted with the
democrats on the tariff bills heretofore
reported and passed by the House. The
republican view is universal that the DEM
ocrats are going to hurt the industries
of the country by their tariff bills, and
that the republicans will ride back into
power four years from now on the OLD
cry Of hard times.
