Shapiro Gives States Evi-
dence Against Four Men
on Trial. for Murder of
Herman Rosenthal. .:

New York, Nov. 13.-"Bald Jack"
Rose and "Bridgie" Webber, two OF
the informers whose testimony re-
suited in the sentence Of death OF
Charles Becker, were taken today to
the criminal court building to take
the stand for the people against the
four gunmen indicted for murdering
Herman Rosenthal. It was expected
that their stories would be substantial
ly the same as told at the Becker trial.
Another witness whose testimony
the state planned to introduce was
Thomas Coupe, the young English.
man, who, as clerk at the Elks club.
was an eye witness to the crime. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman expressed
satisfaction at the confession Of Will
liam Shapiro, driver Of the gray "mur-
der car" who swore on the stand yes
terIay that his passengers were the
defendants, "Gyp the Blood" Lefty
Louie" Whitley" Lewis and "Dago
Frank" Cirofici.
Shapiro told the district attorney
that he had been afraid to testify
heretofore, but the death Of big
Jack" Zelig. the gang leader had SO
eased his mind that he decided to turn
states evidence. He Is co-defendant
of the gunmen, but 1t is now probable
that the Indictment will be dismissed.
Shapiro had heretofore refused to
identify the gunner through fear of
being killed by Zelig's orders, accord
ing to Mr.. Whitman.
Shapiro described taking the gun
men'to "Bridgie' Webber's place and
said they were there twenty minutes.
Continuing he said:
"Then Jack Rose came down and
told me-" Shapiro continued "to drive
around to Forty-third street. 'Gyp,
Whitley Lefty and 'Dago' Frank got
in and / drove to the Metropolis" B.
The witness stopped his recital to
identify the gunmen as his passengers.
"WhiIe on the way to the Metro
pole" he resumed, II heard 'Dago'
Frank say, Everything is all right;
no cops there; Becker said So
"I stopped my car near the Metro
pole and they all got out. They had
revolvers and heard four shots. Then
they jumped back into the car and
'Gyp the Blood put gun to my head
and said: Hurry up, you boob, drive
away"
Rose took the stand as soon as court
convened. Calmly and glibly he began
his narrative, going over much Of the
ground covered at the Becker trial.
He told of meetings with the gunner,
OF Becker's threat to frame them" un.
less they "croaked' Rosenthal. or
Becker's boast. that he would shield
them after the job was done.
"All right, we'll do it. F." the witness
said the defendants assured him.

Frightened OF.

Some small change in a counter cash
drawer was taken.
The robbers cut telephone and tele-
graph wires leading to the Hudson ex-
change before beginning their work.
They took a gasoline handcar from
the section house and rode to the
edge Of Waterloo where they aband-
oned the machine and escaped. A new
grey cap found by detectives near
where the car was left is expected
Ito be used as clew.

Madrid, Nov. 13.-The body Of the
assassinated Premier Canalejas lay in

Der of deputies. The body was dressed
in diplomatic uniform and beneath the

crowd of people gathered both In and

population of the capital appears to be
deeply impressed by the crime. Work
has been almost entirely suspended
and nearly every business house is
closed, while most OF the houses IN
the residential section are draped
with mourning decorations.
The liberal cabinet will continue to
hold office under the temporary presi-

the signature of the Moroccan treaty

WOULD OPPOSE
CUTTING BAIL
FOR JOHNSON
General Solicitor Bullitt
Says Offense is Not tExtra-
ditable and Prisoner
! Could Leave, Country.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.- No
reason exists, according to brief
filed today on behalf of the govern
ment by Solicitor General Built, why
Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist con-
fined in Jail in Chicago on charge OF
violating the white slave act, should
be admitted to bail by the supreme
court of the United States. The
solicitor general pointed out that
while violations of the white slave act
are punishable by five years imprison-
ment. or $4,000 fine, or both, they are
not extraditable..
"A guilty offender might be willing
to Jump any small amount OF ball so
as to seek refuge in foreign country
and thus avoid punishment for crime
which the public policy of this court
denounces with heavy penalty ne
said, "The administration OF the
criminal law would be brought into
disrepute If one committing such an
infamous crime as that for which
Johnson had been indicted could py
forfeiting even a considerable sum OF
money escape to a place where ne
would be free from further prosecu'
ton"
A telegram from United States At
torney Wilkerson to the department OF
instice is included in the brief, as dis
closing facts which fully justify the
action Of the United States district
court in determining the conditions
under which it would admit johnson
to bail. Mr.. Wilkerson stated tnat
"parties representing the defendant
attempted to obtain his release upon
absolutely worthless bail.
"Attention was called to tne tacI
that the defendant had stated mat II
was his intention to leave this ZIG coun-- IN
try on November 80, and this state
ment was not contradicted, either Dy
the defendant or any OF his counsel
added the telegram.
Referring to the possibility or John-
son leaving the country the solicitor
generals brief adds: = u,
"Thirty thousand dollars. while a
large sum, is not excessive, because 1t
"a obviously not prohibitory. The very
fact that Johnson is willing to deposit
cash to this amount Is conclusive EVIL
dence that the amount fixed Is not
prohibitive.' -
Don't Provide for Cash Bail.
Replying to the complaint that the
trial court refused to. accept $So,0Oo
certificate of deposit, or 100000 cash
in lieu Of BAIL Solicitor General Built
stated that the federal statutes did not
provide for the acceptance of cash IN
lien of bail and that the court would
have no power to do so.
"Bair' was defined by Mr.. Built as
ian undertaking guaranteed py
sureties that the defendant shall be
produced at the proper time in court"
Attempt to Reduce Bond.
Chicago, Nov. 13.-Another attempt
to procure the release of Jack John
son, the pugilist. from Jail failed to.
day. Feneral Judge Carpenter denied
a motion to reduce the 100000 bond
under which the negro is held on
chtrge of violating the Mann act: W..
G. Anderson, Johnson's counsel, then
asserted that he would offer new
securities later in the day.

OYSTER SUPPLY SMALL.
Less Than Fifty Bushels in the Yes
sells Now at the Wharves.

Less than fifty bushels of oysters re-
NAMED in the holds of the vessels at the
nth street wharf market late yester-
day evening, so that those who call at the
oyster wharf today for their usual Sun
day supply of the bivalves on the half
shell will have to depend upon the
oyster houses on the wharf for their
supply or go away hungry. Lying at
the oyster wharf is fleet OF fifteen or
more vessels. but they are all light. and
the outlook for fresh supply by vessels
from the lower Potomac beds is slim
indeed. There are half dozen vessels
lying in Brentons bay, the Wicomico
river and other points on the Po-
toInac waiting a tow. but ice con-
ditions are such that il Is more
than probable that when the tug NJ.
Mitchell Davis visits the lower river this
week, the masters of the boats will go
10 Baltimore instead of taking chances
of damaging their boats by attempting
to have them lowed here.
The dealers at the wharf are obtaining
limited supplies Of oysters in the shell
by steamer from Norfolk and by rail
from Baltimore and these. with the Po-
tomac oysters they have on hand, will
supply the market for a few days. The
demand. in consequence of the high
prices the bivalves are bringing, now is
rather light. as oysters are food that
only the wealthy can now afford to en-
Joy.

KEPT BUSY AT TOWING.
Tug N. Mitchell Davis Being Used
in OYSTER Trade.

The tug M. Mitchell Davis of the Taylor
feet Of this city, which recently returned
to general towing work on Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries. is being kept
busy towing oyster-laden boats from the
Patuxent river. Nd. to Baltimore, and it
is probable she will be kept in this serv-
ice until spring. The Davis left Solomons
Island Thursday morning with a tow Of
six boats for Baltimore, and was sched-
uled to leave Baltimore last night to re-
turn to Solomons, where another tow of
oyster boats awaits her. The Davis,
about a week ago, was fitted with an old
pillow that she had used In former years,
while a new one was being built for her.
The new one has been completed, but the
tug is SO busy she has not lad time to
lay OF long enough to have the pillow
placed in position. 1t is probable that she
will come to the Potomac this week for
. tow.

FEARS FOR SAFETY OF CREW.
Schooner Annie F. Kimball Said to
Be Derelict at Sea.

Hope for the safety of the crew of
the schooner Annie F. Kimball, which
was passed last week off Hatteras by
the steamer Lewis Luckenback, APP
parently abandoned, is being given up
by those interested in the vessel, and
the men that were aboard her. 1t Is
argued that il they had been taken of
by q passing vessel some tidings of
them should have been received by this
time.
There is still some small hope that
they may be aboard vessel bound to
an out-of- the-way place. in which event
they may be heard from, but the chances
are small.
When the Luckenback passed the
schooner her sails were set but her
boat falls were dragging in the water.
as if the ship had been abandoned. and
no signs of life could be seen aboard
her. The cutter Onondaga, which spent
several days on the search for the ves-
sci, returned to port. and 1T is thought
the schooner has gone to the bottom OF
the Atlantic.
The Kimball was on her way from
Baltimore to Savannah with fertilizer
