RESTED AND OTHER CASES.

William Patterson, an old man with
the SHOWS of 60 odd winters showing
his head, was the victim of a rob
berry on Sunday evening on lower
Front street.
Patterson, somewhat mixed by
strong liquor, met with several col
orcd men, who were broke" He took
pity on them and staked them to a
dinner in one Of the cheap eating
houses in that part of the city. He
was carrying between $65 and SIS and
a razor In a poke about his neck. The
coons must have seen it, for after the
meal was over two of them, followed
by a third, who gives the name of
l.. B. Sherwood, took him out. The
third man, Sherwood, had not walked
but a few steps when he was ordered
to turn back and a long knife was
displayed. This caused him to pause.
Shortly after this the old man was
found by one of the policemen. He
had been robbed Of the poke and it's
contents. He described the colored
men and shortly after Robert Craig
and Wallace Reed were arrested on
suspicion. After that Sherwood. called
at the police station and told his story.
On the person of one of the coons was
found about $40, and an effort is be-
ing made to connect this money with
that which was stolen. The razor
and poke were not found. The case
will be turned over to the state.

7. J. BOWDEN WINS
RING AT EAST LAKE
Large Crowds Enjoyed the
Elaborate Programme at
Park Yesterday

No. 3123s belonging to T. J. Bow
den. won the one-carat diamond ring at
East Lake park last night. The little
girl, blindfolded. was led TO the box
containing the numbered coupons and
drew out the number. 1t was then
passed to the three judges, who were
disinterested parties holding no cou-
pons. for verihcation. Mr.. Bowden. who
lives at Eleventh street and Fourth
avenue, was present with the lucky
number and upon receipt to the man
ager was given the ring
Immense crowds thronged the park
throughout the afternoon and evening.
The little bit of rain in the latter part
of the afternoon held none of the
crowd away and interfered with the
regular programme only in the athletic
meet, the latter part of the events be-
ing postponed.
The biggest thing, according to
the children, was the egg hunt There
was a prize for every child that found
an egg and many were the glad hearts
that received the toys.
The speed race In the skating rink
was won by ]. B. Rylant. who received
a pair of lockwood fibre racing skates.
The race seemed to be a walk-away
for the winner. Many other prizes were
won In the events held throughout the
day.
The display of fireworks was the
most magnificent seen in many day
at East Lake park, although the
weather was threatening.

he had proved the feasibility of a mo-

NARROW ESCAPE FOR
LARGE AUTO PARTY

New York, August IA dozen persons
narrowly escaped death tonight In front
of the Aston mansion on Fifth avenue
directly beneath the window Of the room
in which Col. John Jacob Astor's widow
is confined in expectation OF millionaire
baby. A Fifth avenue motor bus, after
a. collision with motor truck. crashed
through the fence around the mansion
and poised on the brink on an areaway
several feet deep.
Four persons were slightly hurt and
were treated by nurses who had been
in attendance at the Astor home.
1t was regarded as miraculous that the
bus poised where IL did. Had IL fallen
into the areaway the passengers. who
were riding on top of 1t, would probably
have been crushed by its weight.
DR.. Edwin ID. Cragin was so concerned
over Mrs Astor's condition that he. re-
fused to allow the omnibus company to
remove the vehicle tonight.

TO ARREST
HIGH OFFICIALS
Whitman Has Evidence
Against Two Police
Officials

New York. August 7.-District Attorney
Whitman has evidence in his possession.
it was learned tonight, on which he ex-
rects to seek indictment of two high po-
lice officials and civilian employee on
the charge of Matchmaking gamblers and
proprietors of other illegal resorts.
These men together with Police Lieu
tenant Becke, collected more than 81. 400,
coo protection money in year. according
to Rose, but mis- information in regard to
the three officials others than Becker
was based lie said. upon what Becker
Rad told him.
Today "Bridgie' Webber sent word TO
the prosecutor he was prepared to corr
roborate everything Rose had said in re-
sard to gambling graft. He also said he
himself acted as collector for one official
involved.
The district attorney, however, does not
expect to press the graft feature before
the grand jury until he has presented all
the evidence bearing upon the murder OF
Rosenthal. Tomorrow he expects to talks
before tho jury 20 witnesses upon whose
testimony no hopes to secure the indict-
ment of Lefty Louie" "Gyp the blood"
''Daso" Frank Cirofiei. and white
Lewis
Most of these witnesses are citizens who
either saw the murder or were on the
scene soon after it occurred and who, the
district attorney is confident will be able
positively to identify the men who fired
the shots. District Attorney whitmans
confidence that he has a strong case
against Becker was evidenced today when
he announced IN court he had 10 witnesses
who would corroborate Jack" Roses
charge that the police official was the
impelling spirit behind the murder. The
statement was made by the prosecutor in
opening a motion TO quash Becker's in
dictment. Judge Mulqueen reserved de-
cision and by agreement the pleading of
Rocker was adjourned until after the rul-
ing is handed down.
If John Mcintyre, engaged as counsel
for Becker, can secure an acquttal for
his client he will receive s125,000 in cash,
according to friends of both men. Nc

$4,000 and provisional guarantee for the

that certain reforms are absolutely

prosperity and for the benefit of the
people who contribute mostly there
to. But he does not insist upon meth
DDS that might result In the killing
of the patient upon the operating
table.
Upon ears dinned with the excessive
stripes of the new brand of radical
ism which is just being pounded into
a platform for the bull moose party In
Chicago. the speech of acceptance to-
note of the campaign. falls with the
effect of balm and a benson.
1T demands reform and points out
the path to such a consummation, but
there is none of the rip-roaring sound
of the ultra advocate of downw with
everything In 1t, and 1t is comforting
and reassuring.

with Underwood on the tariff and is in

Although Governor Wilson's speech
