Raw Chickens.

Rose Pastor Phelps Stokes in an
address on behalf of New York coun-

"a little Stun girl" she said stood
for the first time in her life in barn

yard with its rlcks, its lazy COWS, its
plows and harrows, and what-not.

MUST CATCH
ALL THE RATS

Inspectors at the Custom House
are not one wit worried over the
probability Of receiving orders from
the Secretary of the Treasury at
Washington, D. c., ordering all in
spectors and watchmen to catch all
rats that attempt to leave any ship
arriving from the West Indies, Rus
sia, China, Japan or other countries
where the bubonic plague exists. A
similar order was given to the OFF,
Gals of the port of New York today,
Deputy Collector George w. Eggert
states that no such orders will be re-
ceived here, ~ this port can boast
Of an efficient federal health officer,
Dr.. Charles w. Naulty, Jr., while
New York has not the services Of
such an official.
The orders from the Secretary Of
the Treasury call for a rat-catching
device which may interest Dr.. Naulty
and the members of the Board of
Health, who have planned a cam
paign against the rodents. This
device is ordered attached to the
hawsers Of all ships In such a man
ner as to prevent the rats from leav-
ing the vessels by that method. 1t
Is also required that the gangways
of all such ships be taken aboard
between sunset and sunrise.

HEALTH BOARD
INVESTIGATES

Commissioner Leo Schwartz, of
the Board Of Health, has received a
letter from the Board of Health OF
New Brunswick informing him of
the nature Of the complaint received
by that department from residents
living in the vicinity of 1872 Smith
street, Perth Amboy. The COM
plant specifies unsanitary condition
at the address mentioned and re-
quests the New Brunswick board to
enter this territory because 1.-The
Perth Amboy Board of Health ap-
pears to be asleep" The New
Brunswick commissioners decided
that they have no jurisdiction in the
case, and referred the complaint to
the local board, through Mr..
Schwartz.
An Inspector of the local board
will investigate the conditions at
332 Smith street today and make a
report at the next meeting Of the
board, scheduled for August IS. In
explaining the local boards appar-
ent neglect in this matter, Mr..
Schwartz asserts that, in all proba-
bility, a like complaint had been re-
ceived by the Perth Amboy depart
ment but referred to the waste bas-
ket because of lack of signature.
The Board Of Health will not consid-
ed any unsigned communications,
and Mr.. Schwartz believes that the
the original complaint concerning
1872 Smith street was of such nature.
The complaint received by the New
Brunswick board was anonymous.

DAVIS
A CANDIDATE
Will Oppose Calvin for Al
derman in Third Ward.

That a bitter fight will be waged
among the Democrats of the third
ward was assured this morning when
local labor leaders met in Union hall
and decided to place Jesse Davis,
secretary of the Building Trades
Council, to oppose Richard A. Calvin
for the position of alderman. Mr..
Calvin at the present time is alder
man from the third ward and has
already announced to his continents
that he will again be in the fight.
The race will be a bitter one.
Labor leaders claim that the third
ward Is the best organized labor
ward in the city and that owing to
this Mr.. Davis will be the choice.
Richard ]. Calvin announced him
self today as candidate for reelec-
ton as alderman from the third
ward. Mr.. Calvin is president of
the Woodrow Wilson Democratic
Club. He denies that he has consid-
cred running for mayor. He says
he has never given thought to such
action on his part, but will make
the race for reelection as alderman
because many of the boys are urg-
ing it," Alderman Calvin does not
want the voters to believe that he
would presume to decline a nomina-
ton for any office before it was
rendered to him,

MEAT SUPPLY
is SHORT HERE

There appears to be a great a
city of meat throughout the city
today. The largest beef concerns
which are supplying the retail butch
ers in this city have announced that
they are all cleaned out" No beef
can be gotten today at any of the
wholesale houses in this city and 1t
Is questionable whether or not there
will be enough meat for the consum-
ers over the week end. Retailers are
clamoring for the fulhllment Of their
orders, but their wishes cannot be
granted.
Not only are the local wholesalers
without goods for their dealers, but
other wholesale houses in this vicin-
ity have failed to answer the call of
several local retailers who have
asked for supplies. The Elizabeth
Beef Co., Of Elizabeth, and Swift &
Co., Of New Brunswick, would give
only the very smallest amounts to
several Perth Amboy butchers, who
offered various inducements.

COSTICAN HAS
DENIED STORY
Lieutenant Did Not Condemn
Commissioner Waldo.
lpScfal bu United Press Wfrs.

New York, July 26:-Police Com
missioner Waldo, after a hurried
conference with Lieutenant Costi-
gan, who it was said told the grand
jury that 1t was Waldo who was re-
spons1ble for the gambling condition
prevailing throughout the city and
declared that never in his years on
the police force did he ever see the
city as wide open as 1t Is today, as
serted that Costigan had fatty de-
MED telling the grand jury any
thing like the published account.
THE statements attributed to
Lieutenant Costigan r absolutely
false, each and every n of them"
Commissioner Waldo said, as he
came out of his private Office and
the lieutenant nodded his head In
assent.
District Attorney Whitman today
announced that he would request
Police Commissioner Waldo to ap-
pear as a witness before the grand
jury, when that body convened next
Monday. The district attorney said
that members OF the grand jury had
requested that they be allowed to
hear Waldo's testimony after listen
ing to the evidence Of Lieutenant
Costigan.

the question lis to whether the gambler
would inform further were not the
same men, with n exception, that
Shapiro drove to the hoel. The sKcep-
ton was the mysterious figure hat &C.
c%olnpanied Schepps and Yallon to the
Considine resort. He was one Of the
men who fired a bullet into Rosenthal's
head, and he strolled back to the gray
car with a smoking pistol In his hand.
As for the other murderers, Shapiro
says, they squirmAd and twisted away
to safety through the shadows and the
crowds. Libby, his partner, contrib
uted little to the narrative, Because, as
is now known, Libby had no part In
the goings and comings of the gray car.
Matters have come to such a pass
with Assemblyman Aaron ]. Levy,
counsel for the prisoners, that Levy
advised Libby and Shapiro to speak
frankly and take their chances.
Shapiro Describes Murder Ride.
Shapiro described how Rose had
called up the automobile stand at the
Cafe Boulevard and had hired the gray
car. He went over the story Of the
nights ride again, which was the same
as he had previously told. He picked
up Rose, WALTON and Schepps at Tom
S~harkey's place on Fourteenth street
Shapiro said he caught snatches of the
talk Of the men In the machine and
gathered that Il job was to be done
that night. The gun play and murder
never entered his mind. When the cal
arrived at Bridge Webber's plae, after
the spin up to the Bronx 1t was about
1:20 a. N. Shapiro was told to walt
outside. Rose and WALTON and Schepps
went upstairs. The driver waited ter
minutes before they r~eappeared. Whe1
they came out they had a man with
them that Shapiro did not recognize
but whom he would know anywhere
wherever he saw him.
Schepps and WALTON and the strange.
got out Of the car and walked across
the street to the Metropole. A dozen
Or more hard looking characters were
providing between Broadway and Sixth
emu Shapiro finally fell asleep fol
3 few minutes and was awakened by
the report of shots. He looked across
the street, and he saw men with re-
yolvers In their hands standing over
figure that was lying IN the sidewalk
Then four men came toward him. Ont
Of these was the gloomy stranger tina
had ridden In the car from Weber,
to the Metropole. The other three Sha

but he is sure he could identify them

New York. July 26.-How the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal was planned
and how spies darted between the
Metropole and the murder headquar-
tiers In Bridge Webber's poker rooms,
with bulletins of Rosentnal's move
ments, was drawn from William Sha-
plro and Boob Walker by District
Attorney Whitman. But that was not
all that the district attorney accom-
plished.
He took a long step ahead in the in
mine whether a partnership has exist
ed between policemen and gamblers, as
Rosenthal charged in the affidavit
against Becker, when Police Lieuten
ant Daniel Costigan, "the honest cop
as they call him in the department,
told the grand jury that gambling could
not endure in the Tenderloin or any
where else without police protection.
"Dago Frank" one of the five men
sought for the murder of Rosenthal.
was locked up in police headquarters
Another man and a woma We're cross
examined by Police Commissioner
Dougherty and Inspector Hughes, head
Of the detective bureau. Their names
were not divulged, but Inspector
Hughes admitted that each probably
would be held as a material witness.
Lieutenant Charles Becker, the most
important figure In the dual inquiries,
did not testify before the grand jury
because he arrived too tardily. He was
SEM to the criminal courts building by
Commissioner Waldo and with the
plain warning that If he refused to go
into the grand jury room he would be
suspended. 1t Is known also that II 1t
Is proved to the commissioner that
BALD Jack" Rose communicated In
any way with Becker after the murder
Becker's suspension will follow.
Shapiro Supplies Missing Links.
Shapiro's statement supplied the dis
trict attorney with hitherto unknown
facts concerning the murder. Shapiro
says that he took Jack Rose and Harry
Vallon and Sam Schepps to Webber's
poker rooms a little before Rosenthal
was killed, and after the three had con-
ferred upstairs he drove Schepps and
Vallon and another man whose name
has not yet come out in the case to the
Metropole. Rose did not travel in the
gray car, but was on his way to the
Metropole several minutes before
Rosenthal fell dead In front Of that
hotel.
And here Is n Of the most interest
ing details Of the cleverly d~ovetailed
movements Of the plotters. The men
that Shapiro drove from the Metropole

CRACK LITTLE SILVER
P. @. SAFE GET $500

Red Bank, July 26.-The safe in
the Little Silver postoffice was
blown open early yesterday morning
and about 500 in money and 5000
In stamps were taken. Entrance
was gained by forcing the front door
open. The yeggmen used nitrogly-
cerine to blow open the safe and
they used soap in the cracks OF the
safe.
The robbery was discovered this
morning by Frank l.. Sherwood, as
sistant postmaster, when he opened
the office for business. When the
robbery was made public, residents
living in the vicinity Of the office
said that they were awakened by an
explosion about $40 o'clock yester-
day morning, but the sound was so
muffled that they thought it was
the discharging of battery guns at
Sandy Hook.
The bottom of the front doors in
the safe were badly shattered. About
SIG in money laid under the delivery
windows, but the thieves did not get
this.
This is the third time in twelve
years that the p~ostoffice has been
robbed. The first robbery occurred
In 1901, when entrance was gained
to the office and $1.47 in stamps
were taken from the stamp drawer.
In October, 1908, the safe was
blown open and s14S in stamps and
money were taken. The intruders
on each occasion were never captur-
ed. John T. Lovett is postmaster.
