GANG lNvADES HOSPITAL
Two Employees Thrashed-Ring
leaders Held for Trial.

Upon the complaint Of employees Of the
Roosevelt Hospital, at 5sth street and
Ninth avenue, Frank Mcnamara, OF No.
4S West I'D street, was arraigned before
Magistrate Herbert yesterday morning in
the West SIDE court. He was charged
with assault by Richard Murray, a
groom employed at the hospital.
Other employees Of tho institution also
appeared as witnesses against Nc
Namara, who was said to have person
ally led gang Of Tenth avenue rowdies
into the hospital yard recently A pitched
battle between Mcnamara and his gang
and the hospital attendants followed
with the gang coming of victorious.
Magistrate Herbert expressed himself
as eager TO put Mcnamara and his gang
out Of business, and the prisoner was
held in 500 bail for further hearing to-
morrow morning.
According 10 Murray, Mcnamara ap-
peared a few days ago in the Tenth ave-
nue. yard Of the hospital and challenged
him to fight. When the groom refused
to accommodate the pugnaclous Nc
Namara he gave whistle and a dozen
rowdies appeared.
They were met By a half dozen at
tendants Of the hospital and a general
free fight started, with the gangsters
using stones, sticks and other instru-
ments Of warfare. When the smoke OF
battle had cleared away Samuel Spence,
attached TO the hospital corps, had been
hattened TO the ground with brick and
Murray had received beating at the
hands Of Mcnamara. All the gangsters
escaped, but Mcnamara was arrested
yesterday morning by Patrolman Tinker.

Burns ever tackled.
When the first public limitations tha'
Burns was at work began to circuia'e
a few days ago, Tribune reporter
asked Mr.. Burns whether he did not
feel that he was confronting what
would probably be his hardest ana
biggest lob" At that time Mr.. Burns
would not admit that he was working
on the Rosenthal case. but his eyes
snapped what seemed to be an appre-
citation Of the question.
Remember that do not even admit
that I have anything to do with the
case" said Mr.. Burns then. On Satur-
day. although still declining 10 talk
about it, he admitted that he expected
90 be at work in his New YORK ONCE
for The next two weeks.
TO show the possibilities Of police
system graft in all its ramifications,
the following story of former ward

earlier regime in the department gives

fBv Telesraph 10 The Tribune.

Kansas City, Mo. July S-The Middle
West has started into the most prosper
Gus season in its history.
With the largest wheat crop on record
in Kansas. large yields In Oklahoma,
Texas, Nebraska and Western Missouri.
a favorable season thus far for a heavy
Weld OF corn, unusually large hay crops
already put up. rich pastures all over the
West. a good outlook for cotton in Okla
bona and Texas, abundant Yields OF
most fruits and remunerative prices for
all commodities. IT Is evident that a bis
season is ahead for the railroads and
every one else.
As nearly as can be ascertained at this
time, on information from several hun
dred correspondents, Kansas Nebraska
and Oklahoma have produced 81 100000
bushels more wheat this year than the
final official estimates OF last years crops.
Kansas appears to have produced ,95, 00e,-
900 bushels Nebraska 100000 and Okla

"Of course. about saloons no one was
ever as careful as all that. Saloon
graft is so legitimate that 1t isn't hard-
ly secret any more, but did you ever
stop to think what that graft amounts
TO in the course Of O year? There are
something more than ten thousand sd
looms in New York, and certainly 81
per cent are either continually or spas
medically breaking some law or other.
They don't do il without paying for IT,
YOU can bet on that. Nothing of that
kind Is done without some one getting
paid for winking at it, and if eight
thousand Of those saloons were paying
not more than an average Of $40 a
month. the total would amount TO 81
100000 a year. Some graft that, ein't
It?
Besides that, there are innumerable
places in New York selling liquor with
out any license at all-disorderly
houses. probably as many as there were
| in my day. and lots OF otherwise decent
places, restaurants and grocery stores.
How do you suppose they do it? Do
YOU think they Just get away with it?
Well, they DON'T.
Then, too, entirely apart from the
actual graft. in the money sense, there's
a fine lot OF gentlemanly grating Of a
different kind, done for political rea-

A,h District Of California.

The settlement of the contests IN tHe
An california District is thus detailed
IN Mr.. Hilles's statement:
Tho Ath California presented thus
.,,aa.iot. Under the state law the
Soie~atIon two from each district, was
aIocted on n general ticket, IN group
. ty,ontv-siy. Each delegate might
ether cypress his Presidential prefer
enco or agree 10 vote for the Prcsl-
Dental candidate receiving the hlSnesI
nunber In tho state. In the 4th DIS
trict the two candidates from that als-
trict on the Taft ticket expressed :"
nreference for Taft. but did not agree
- ,.o,a for the candidates having the
tGe.host stote vote These Taft dele
gafos ,n the Attn District received n ma
I,rIty OF 200 more than the Roosevelt
delegates in that district. The nation
al call forbade any law or the accept
onco Of any law which prevented tne
election Of delegates by districts. III
other words. the call or the national
convention was at variance win tue
state law. The state law sought I'D en-
force the state unit rule, ana required
the whole twenty-siX delegates 10 ne
voted for all over the state, assigning
oblde the statewide election. while the
Ronublican National Convention mas
inslsted upon the unit of the district
since 1850. That has been the party
law.
This convention recognized the party
law and held Il 10 be more binding
than the state law. and allowed the
two delegates who had received in tho
Ith District n vote larger than their
two 5pporents assigned to that district
10 become delegates In the convention.
This was clearly lawful. for n state
has no power to limit or control the
basis OF representation OF a voluntary
national party In a national conven-
ton. The fact that President Taft, by
telegram, approved all the twenty-slN
delegates as representing him is said
TO be an estoppel against his claiming
the election OF two Of those delegates
I'm the ath District. What is there in
consistent in his approving the candl-
dacy Of all his delegates and the cleo
ton Of two of them? Why should he
he thus estopped to claim that part OF
the law was imperative because in
conflict with the call of the conven-
ton?
