REAL MUROERERS EXPECTED
TO Be ARRESTED TODAY
The Web Is Tightening Around
Prominent Gamblers and Poll
tICianS Of The TenderIOin
OBy Associated Press.)

New York, July 22.-In state
ment made public today by the New
York prosecutors office, it is stated
that it is now certain that picked
band OF gun men had been hired to
shoot down Herman Rosenthal the
New York gambler. who was mur'
dered in front of leading hotel in
this city last week
II is stated that the men who had
been selected to murder Rosenthal
had held rehearsals of the killing in
order to be certain.
William Shapiro, held in connec-
tion with the killing, in statement
made to the states attorney last
night, revealed how a gang of men.
selected for the purpose, had
kept the street in front of the hotel
Metropole clear of taxicabs for
thirty minutes before the murder
occurred In order that the murder
car" might have a clear get away,
The evidence now in the hands of
the prosecutors office will implicate
many of the prominent gamblers and
politicians of New York, 1t was
unquestionably the most deliberate
and cold blooded murder ever per
petrated in the city.
The detectives in the employ OF
the prosecutor office have had the
suspected ones under surveillance
and arrests of the principals viii
probably be made today.

More arrests are expected at any

but as to the nature of these arrests
he would say nothing.
When piled with questions as to |
the real significance of the work the |
commissioner was reticent. This |
much he said definitely:
'Webber and Pau are not charged |
with being in the murder car at |
the time the fatal shots were fired, |

POLL TAX
QUESTION
PERPLEX|NG
NOT CLEAR AS TO THE AGE
LIMIT, LAW BECOMES
AMBIGUOUS

There is much dissention over
the matter Of at what age voter
ceases TO become liable TO poll tax,
and some arrests have been orr
dered by the city authorities where
there has been demand for road
work of this class on voters over
hfty years Of age.
The constitution OF oklahoma,
Article 10, Section is, provides:
THE legislature may authorize
the levy and collection of poll tax
on all electors of this state, under
sixty years of ago. not exceeding
two dollars per capita, per annum'
and may provide a penalty for the
non payment thereof
The latest law passes on this sub
iect is found at page 293. chapter
IA, section I, Session Laws 1910.
and reads as follows:
~lWery male citizen of this state
between the age of twenty one and
fifty years who shall have resided in
this state for thirty days and who
is not a county or township charge
and who has not performed road
duty elsewhere in this state, or any
other state IN that year shall be
subject to road duty on four days of
eight hours in each year"
The city ordinance on this subject
provides that all electors residing
in the corporate limits, between the
ages of twenty-one and sixty years,
except property owners in paved dis
tricts, shall be liable to poll tax
of two dollars. The ordinance does
not include renters who reside in
paved districts.
There Is much contention as to
just who is Liable to pay poll tax
under these conflicting provisions.
AS will be seen by the above cita
tions the constitution allows the age
limit to be fixed by the legislature
at sixty years, and the maximum
amount to be collected at two dol
lars. The legislature fixed the age |
limit at fifty years, and provided for |
the collection of four dollars. The !
city charter fixes the age limit at |
sixty years, and the amount at two
dollars All this causes turmoil ana
confusion. The city authorities viii
ry and find out exactly what power
is vested In this city in the pre-
misses so as not to work hardship
On electors, and Will put the matter
- to the proper law officers for
solution.
