 Early Monday Morning.

New York, Aug. l6.-Pending arri- val here of Sam Schepps, the mate rial witness whom the grand jury wishes to hear before handing down indictments in the Rosenthal murder case the district attorneys office is centering it's attention on police graft from disorderly houses.
 It developed today that raids last night upon IS resorts was the result of a tip furnished by Jack Rose, the gambler whose confession resulted in the indictment of Police Lieutenant Becker on the charge of instigatlng the Rosenthal murder
 Jack Sullivan, one of the Rosenthal prisoners, according to the informa- ton given by Rose, was collector of graft from these houses, which are declared to be operated by the vice trust"
 | Although the surface results of the raids was the holding of only four alleged proprietresses on $fG00 bail. Assistant District Attorney Smith says he is in possession of evidence tonight showing where the graft col lected from the trust went. He has traced it. he says, to police inspect | o. | Smith said, to about $2,500 a month. or on the basis of $l0o q month from 25 houses running steadily
 Graft is going to the police also from two other combinations of higher class" Mir. Smith said one controlled by an East Side gang lead CT, whose name has been mentioned in the Rosenthal case. Mir. Smith also has the name of woman, the wife of one of the prisoners, against whom he said he has evidence that she was a collector of disorderly house graft l for Becker
 l According to information obtained | by agents of the Society for the Pre- vention of Crime, the trust raided last night, known as the Dig five" nets annual profits of $50.000 over it's graft payments and controls about 1,200 women The graft, 1t was said, was paid directly to police inspectors by the trust" itself and not by the individual houses.
 While there was no fear of raids by the police, it was said the trust feared the Society for the Prevention of Crime and the district attorneys office, and for this reason always kept several of its houses vacant as jump ing" houses in case others were closed.
 Concident with these revelations, Police Commissioner Waldo today re- duced Cornelius G. Hayes to the rank of captain and suspended him pending his trial on charges that the inspect or falsely stated that Commissioner Waldo directed him not to obtain eyi- dence against dlsorderly houses ex- cept by orders of the commissioner, and that he failed to suppress disor- derly houses in his district
 The commissioner made public q letter he wrote to Hayes yesterday calling his attention to reports that number of these resorts were "do- ing business openly in your district" and holding the inspector responsible for any violation of the law
 Besides the announcement that Sam Schepps would not be brought to New York until early Monday morn ing, the principal developments in the Rosenbhal case today was the discov- cry by representatives of the district attorney of two more bank accounts of Lieutenant Becker. The names of the banks were not made public but the amounts totalled about $10,000. it was learned, making the aggregate deposits about $75,000.
 District Attorney Whitman left to- day for Manchester, Vt, to visit his family over Sunday.
