The "system' has not always been
elusive. Senator LeXow and an inyes.

years ago as Il partnership for profit
between certain politicians, some Of
the police and the criminals.

Of graft and lawlessness.

and the exposures they made have
been forgotten by most people, N'heth-
er the system" still exists the muir
der of RosenthaI may answer. Did the
system" murder him because he
threatened to expose and had begun to
expose it? Did it murder Rosenthal
to save itself? Is murder too desperate
chance for the "system' to take?
These are the lines along which the
Investigation is being conducted.
And now as to the graft that the
system has fed on. Needless to say.

was the oft repeated express
sion in New York sporting

Rosenthal had been in the gambling
business for twenty of his thirty-five
years. He had long enjoyed seeming
immunity from police interference
But few months ago all was changed
Rosenthal was raided and policeman
stationed in his place twenty-four
hours day to see that no business
was done.
Finally Rosenthal went to the dis.
trict attorney. the countys prosecUt-
Ing officer. He told Il story of how he
had for years been paying graft" to
the police in return for their not mo-
testing his games and concluded his
tale with the declaration that Charles

Kubelik's Great Recital.

Jan kubelik. the Incompatible master
Of the violin. in a recital at the Column
bia Theater yesterday afternoon. gave
keen delight to a large if topheavy au-
dience, with a program SO varied that no
feature of his great art was overlooked
in its rendition. Beginning with Vieux-
temps Concerto. in d minor, 1t included
Beethoven. Bach, Saint-Saens, Sarasate
Hubay and Paganini numbers. and only a
difference in taste could differentiate be-
tween them in the matter Of excellence.
To many the stately, beautiful "adagio

gram, while to others the Saint-Saens

The favored numbers Those who prefer
red technique to music overlooked with
enthusiasm when the Bach number was
finished. Those whose souls responded to
the wonderful creations of composers who
utilized the bow and the fingers as the
means to an end were charmed with the
exquisitely delicate beauties Of the Sara
safe and Hubay numbers. The recital as
whole was an offering BETTING a king.
and kubelik was undoubtedly the king.
In acknowledgment of the volumes of
applause that greeted each number i'm

esque' as an encore at the close and

OF appreciation left feeling for once AT
