Becker. Even If Becker divided with
men higher up" as Rose alleges, this
still might be true without affecting
the force generally, for among 10000
men there may be a number of crooks
and yet the vast majority remain hon
est On behalf of our faith in human
nature let us believe that this or some
thing Ike 1t is the true explanation.
Waldo is not alone in asserting the
absence Of graft among the police.
Many other high officials OF the de-
partment have made similar state
ments. 1t is hardly possible that graft
could exist without these men having
some inkling of the fact-that is, un-
less 1t was confined to n few crooks
who covered their tracks. Mayor Gay
nor has also expressed his faith in the
honesty of the police, while ripping it
into the newspapers and most every
body else. So If Gaynor, Waldo and
high police officials have faith In them
selves and In each other why should
we not have faith in them also?
Yet against all this pleasant optI-
mism stands the one grim fact that
Herman Rosenthal, gambler, was shot
down at the Hotel MetropoIe only a
few hours before he was to give evi-
dence against police graft. And now,
as ever, one fact Is worth thousand
theories.

WOULD LIMIT APPEALS.
Wiekersham Advises Congress Regard
ing Commerce Matters.

Attorney General Wickersham has
advised congress that he does not ap-
prove any proposition to give shippers
a blanket right of appeal to the com
merce court from all so called negative
rulings of the interstate commerce com
mission He favors appeals only from
such decisions as involve questions Of
law.
Mr.. Wickersham makes 1t plain that
shippers should not be permitted to
appeal on questions of fact as TO the
reasonableness Of their requests for re-
ductions in rates IN cases where the
commission denies the relief. The ap-
peal should lie only when the commits
sion refuses TO decrease a tariff be-
cause of its supposed want of juris-
diction. The lawful power of the In
terstate commerce commission to act
in the premises should, the attorney
general says, be determined by court

Graft of Millions.

Jack Rose did more than to impli-
cate n police lieutenant in the murder
Of Rosenthal. He also told in deikil
of the collections made by the police
from the gamblers and other law
breakers. He said that he had acted
as Beckers collector and therefore was
familiar with conditions. He gave it
as his opinion that $2,400,00o was col
lected yearly by the police from H.
legal resorts. Others claiming to be

worthy Of respectful consideration and
Mt least in part is borne out by known
factS. For example, 1t is true that
there are different raiders working in
dependently of each other. There is
also a peculiar confirmation in Rosen-
that's own story. If 1t Is true that he
was paying Becker. why did Becker
raid his place, and why was n police
man kept in the house for months.
contrary to custom? The weissenheim-
ers say that Becker's raid of Rosen-
thal's place was n fake, but that the
placing of the "cop" on the premises
was not. This was the work of Waldo
or, rather, of Mayor Gaynor. The story
has been published in several Of the
newspapers that when Gaynor and
Magistrate Corrigan had their row n
year or more ago over Corrigan's al
legation of a wide open town" and
graft conditions Gaynor got tho idea
that Rosenthal had informed Corrigan;
therefore Rosenthal's place must be
closed. Some of the mayors feeling
against the dead gambler was display
ed in recent letters, I'm which he describ-
ed Rosenthal In anything but compli-
mentary terms and expressed his sur.
prise and grief that Lieutenant Beck
er should have dined with such a man.
Are There Only a Few Crooks?
The Waldo statement throws some
light on this whole Rosenthal affair,
for If the gambler did pay for protec-
ton which he did not receive the ex-
istence of the independent rading
squads would explain why he did not
receive 1t. This would make 1t ap-
pear that If there was graft among
the police 1t was confined to few in
dividuals and did not affect the activ-
tiles of the force generally.
There is nothing in the confession
Of Rose that would disprove this theo-

familiar with conditions are now say
Ing that this is conservative esti-
mate; that indeed it is but drop In
the bucket compared to the total po-
lice graft. These say that Rose knows
nothing of conditions in certain parts
of Manhattan Island.
General Theodore A. Bingham, for
mer police commissioner, once stated
in magazine article that the police
graft IN Greater New York amounted
annually to the enormous sum of $780,
100000 and added that this was under
rather than over the true amount.
Others ON the inside are said to have
laughed when they heard that Rose
placed the figure at $2,4OO,OO0
The underworld of New York evi-
dently has some news to tell that part
of the inhabitants living in the sun
shine. Probably all of it will never be
told, but even these few little hints
have given the big town such a Jolt as
1t has not received in years.
Now for the other side Of the story,
for there is another side, although 1t is
not being talked Of much in the news
papers. Whatever we may believe of
the truth Of any given situation. II Is
only fair that everybody be given a
hearing. Police Commissioner Waldo
does not believe there Is any grating,
at least none on a large scale. He has
gone into rather elaborate details to
prove that protection money would do
nobody any good even if paid. His ar
gument In brief is that he has several
squads raiding the gambling houses
and that these work independently of
each other, the head Of one squad
knowing nothing of the activities of
the others; therefore money paid to one
man would be no protection against the
other raiding squads.
The System"
SO far as / know, nobody questions
Rhinelander Waldo's honesty or his
word. The only thing that is ques-
toned is his knowledge of actual con-
ditions under him. 1t Is popular mot
to among the New York police that
commissioners come and commission
ers go, but the system goes on for
ever" That Is the Gotham name for 1t
the system" 1t was the System" In
Lexow's day, and it Is the System"
now. The knowing ones allege that 1t
is essentially the same System" now
as then. A few little angles have been
knocked of, but the body remains.
Yet Mr.. Waldo's statement is

Use of Bright Colors.

Though gray is again to be in
great favor, yet there are to be some
lovely bright colors seen in dress this
season, and our modistes are unlike
ly to forget that the success of all
such bright colors lies in the mod
Grafton with which they are used.
At a sensational dress show last
week the draped skirt and the bunch
ed pannier were features of many of
the models, and the modified color
touch proved once more how telling
it is. For instance, a fawn colored,
embroidered tussore coat and skirt
had a Chinese red collar, which gave
it a cachet. From this exhibition we
learned that black patent leather is
again in favor for belts, and that
oriental embroidery is in greater de-
mand than ever.

Use of Black Ribbon.

Black ribbon jewelry is the strik-
ing contribution to smartness made
now by the designers of fashionable
gewgaws. The ribbon chosen is of
the watered or moire kind, and in
all cases is allied to precious stones.
A watch for the wrist is a fas-
cinating trifle. The band is compos-
ed of ribbon, and the watch is
mounted in platinum set with dia-
monds, the combination of black and
white making a very striking orna-
ment for the wrist. Such a wrist
watch is not heavy to wear nor over
whelming in appearance; indeed
quite the reverse.

all that he has accomplished and is in
fair way to accomplish, he has been
assailed while on this case, and that

WOmen'S Column
FADs THAT HAVE CAUGHT ON"
Appreciation of Fashion Secured by a
Number of Striking Innovations.

Waists of real lace, notably those
in Venise and Irish, are much seen,
and Irish lace coats are being reviv-
ed. Long handbags of these mater
ials are much in evidence, being
swung from long cords and carried
with lingerie dresses.
Nearly all of the latest lingerie
dresses are of pure white. That is,
they show practically no colored en-
broidery The color is usually added
in the garniture OF girdle, sash,
tunic. coat or princess slip.
Cotton ratine is having a great
popularity for misses suits, with
crystal or ball ivory buttons for trim
ming. 1t is one of the new tube ma
terials in demand for shirtwaists.
Lace trimmed and lace covered
parasols are among the spring and
summer novelties. Lace covered
fans are also having a reign of popu-
larity.
There is a new red srade, known
as primrose red" 1t originated in
Paris. and seems to be a combination
of wine, fraise, grosielle and cerise
shades. 1t is claimed that the COM
bined tints are more artistic than q
distinct color.

Fashion Notes.

Brown, which is not usually class
ed as smart, is much worn this sea-
son. One sees brown chiffon coats
and overdresses, wells, hats and
plumes. A new shade with a pur-
plish tinge to it is especially effective
and becoming.
The pannier has met with an en-
couraging reception. The panniers
are not punched upon the hips, as of
old, but the traperies descend to the
hem of the gown, where they are
caught up with a handsome orna-
ment of some variety.
Very popular for motor wear is the
yelling of shadow chiffon. This veil
ing comes in biscuit, cerise, golden
brown, gray, pretty shade of laven-
der and green. A faint thread of
black runs through the chiffon, max
ing the yelling peculiarly becoming.
Belts, which play an important
part in the summer wardrobe, are
seen in stunning combinations of
both material and color. One OF
black kid, Sudden here and there
with gilt nail heads, has shaped
pieces of soft red kid run through
eyelets. The square buckle of black
kid is perfectly plain.
To be absolutely in touch with the
present seasons fashion tendencies
one must be more than careful to
avoid too great severity in ones
frocks and afternoon gowns, or even
in ones tailored suits. Touches OF
hand embroidery, braid trimmings,
hand-bound scallops, hand-embroid-
cry yokes and revers of real lace
all of these are among the good feat
ures of the modes of today.
For evening dress the very tight
long sleeve, with a square decollet-
age, predicted some time ago, has
made its appearance.
For the decoration of the garden
party or country hat, wreaths OF
flowers, berries, or fruit are now
more often applied round the edge OF
the brim, than as heretofore about
the crown. One charming example in
natural color straw was trimmed
with little black and red cherries
with foliage, a black ribbon velvet
passing round and over the crown,
the strings knotted loosely under the
chin.
Nearly every gown of the lingerie
description is trimmed with ribbon,
but the ribbon in almost every in
stance is threaded through the
foundation, and only appears as a
kind of shadow, cleaning through
the interstices of the lace or en-
broidery. The color is usually re-
peated in the case of the waistbelt,
and pretty fashion is that of lin
ing the sash ends of the latter with
another color, the palest shell-pink
being chosen in the majority OF
cases.
A new hatpin is in ivory, tinted to
look like a rose, sometimes pink
sometimes yellow, sometimes deer
red.
Ostrich feather bows are worn in
Paris with white satin gowns.
Bands of sable trim white nous
seline de sole dresses.
New styles in MILDLY dresses are
shown for little girls.
Some of the newest hair orna-
ments are of marabout.
The one-piece dresses buttoned
all the way dawn are as popular as
ever.

Was Herman RoSenthaI,
Gambler, Slain by the
"System?"
BY JAMES a. EDGERToN.

Ut takes big thing to be talked
about for more than one day in
New York. BY this token the Ro-
senthal case is very big thing,
for the Gothamites have been talking
of it for some weeks now and seem
more interested than ever.
The metropolis has not been 50 stir
red by the murder itself, although that
was sufficiently sensational. but by the
evident conspiracy behind it. In
word, the charge heard from every lip
Is that Rosenthal was killed because
he was about to expose the corrupt al
lance between the gamblers and the
police. Circumstantial evidence Of po-
lice graft will always start New York
to seething, and it has certainly been
busy in the seething line during these
hot weeks. The papers have had null
tiplied columns and first page scream
heads every day, the mayor and police
commissioner have been writing let
ters and Gotham has been humming
with the matter all the way from the
underworld to Fifth avenue and from
Connecticut to Jersey.
The publicity Of the case is stirring
other cities. Stories of police graft are
heard in Chicago and Philadelphia. 1t
is not impossible that the shooting Of
this gambler may start wave of in
vestigation that Will not only sweep
over New York, but will reach other
American cities. In this aspect it is of
vital Importance to the entire nation.
The story of the crime itself is now
ancient history and needs but a brief
reference here At about O'Clock on
the morning of July 16, Herman Ro-
senthal, a New York gambling house
proprietor, was shot to death in front
Of the Hotel Metropole. Rosenthal had
been dining in the hotel, which was
filled with people.
