THE BULL MOOSE:
 HAS ARRIVED Call For County Convention Issued By President of
 Negro Club.
TO BE HELD JULY 27
hite PrOgressiyes Do Not Appea.. Interested and May Call
 Another Convention.

The Bull Moose, born at the re- cent Republican National Convention held ln Chicago, has entered the po- lltlcal pastures of Jefferson county. lhe ony difference between the new al rival and these that have appeared Ill other sections of the nation is his eolof. The Pfcgressives who herald ed hls coming are members of the negro Roosevelt club of Pine Bluff.
 That there are ne prospects of haFlng tWlo specimens of the new political prodigy in this section is evidenced by the fact that the names of ID whites ar5eared on the call While 1t is well known that the lead CTS ot the new party has many strone VII te aiherents here and severa have stated that they are only wait ing for a call to assemble in conyen- ten tor the purpose of electing dele gates to a state convention.
 The call for the county convention of t1e third party is addressed to the Progressive Republicans in Jeffer, son County and it's signers are A. 5. kn gAt, president of the negro Roosevelt Club, and ether negroes who have been prominent in Republi- can circles in this secsicn. The con- vention will be held at noon, July 27 at the Miller Theatre in this city. Al that time delegates will be selected te represent the Jefferson county Prcgressives at the state convention which convenes in Little Rock July 30, which, in turn, will select dele gates to attend the national conven- tf2n at Chicago August ,.
 The name of one negi'o, who has been a power in the G. o. P. in tn $ county for years. is conspicuous for it's absence in the call That negro is Eerd Havis. the old war horse whc has made it rule to practically dominate every Republican conven- tion ever held in ths county.
 In conversation recently Havis stated emphatically that he was a Republican, a stand-patter, as i, were, and would not take any cogni- zance of the third party organization
 Whether the white Republicans in this city and county who have de- clared themselves for the Sage o1 Sagamose Hill will give any notice of the call is a hard question. Ono man who declared himself a Pro- gressive declared just as emphatical. ly that he did not consider those who issued the call as representatives oi the third party movement, but will join heartily in the fight for the Cclonels election if the white Repub- licans of Jefferscn county enter the lists.

CITIZENS WILL
 HUNT MURlfRFRS New Workers Form Vigil ance Committee to Help
 Find Slayer.
WILL PAY SLEUTHS
Interest of Citizens Causes More Ac- tiyity Among Police to Appre-
 hend the Guilty Ones.

New York, July 20-An old time vigilance committee, such an organi zation as made itself terror for evildoers in the West in the early , forties has been organized in this city to hunt down the slayer or slayers of Gambler Herman Rosen- of the Hotel Metropole five days ago. District Attorney Whitman and the Burns detective agency will do l the actual work, but the committee, formed of leading members of the Citizens Union, vii pay the expenses of the detectives from their own pockets and will aid in every manner in running down the, murderers and the placing of the responsibility where it belongs
 The coming of the citizens into the investigation followed the failure of the police to arrest any of the leading figures some who have been known since the night of the k'lling. Aroused by this action on the part of the citizens second Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty, this after noon announced that the mystery of the killing of Rosenthal will be cleared up soon and that the solution will exonerate the police depart- ment
 1t became known today that at the Rosenthal murder and probably those who did the actual shooting have fled from the city. District Attorney Whitman, who spent the day in conference with Detective William J. Burns. will present. the following facts to the grand jury:
 Herman Rosenthal was murdered by gang of East Side thugs the night before he was to have substan- tiated charges of graft against Po- lice Lieutenant Becker.
 These thugs were procured for that purpose by Jack Rose, the gamb- Ter, who had intimate relations with Becker and who has been put on pressure by Becker to see that Ros- enthals mouth was closed. i Rose was leading spirit in "get- ting'' Rosenthal, but he had arranged his plans so he would not be present at the actual crime.
 A remarkable fact said to have been uncovered by the District Attor- ney's in vestigation is that L!euten- ant Becker and Jack Rose were in close proximity to each other as to ! the scene of the murder shortly be- i fore it was committed.
 Deputy Police Conmissiorer
 Dougherty says he knows all of the
 men who had ben mentioned so ia:
 as those who may have figured in
 the plot against Rosenthal. The re-
 port is that some of these have loft
 town. All have been affiliated in
 one way or another with the Sam
 Paul Association.
