HAITI DISASTER
RESULT Of PLOT
Four Hundred Are Killed or
Wounded Besides President
LeConte in Explosion.

PORT AU PRINCE. HAITI, Aug. 6
Haitien soldiers today began making
arrests of men suspected of participa-
ton in the blowing up of the national
palace yesterday, which resulted in the
death of President Leconte and the an
Inhalation and wounding of probably 400
other persons mostly Haitien soldiers
General TanCrede Auguste who was
appointed acting president by the ma
tional assembly to succeed LeConte viz
tually placed the city under martial
law today, and issued manifesto say
ing that rigid investigation of the out
rage would be made. While soldiers
patrolled the streets others were at
work clearing away the wreckage of
the palace, which was burned after the
explosions had set it on fire.
Although Leconte had been In office
less than a year, there were rumors of
conspiracy against him at the time of
his death. That was the reason Lee
conte had insisted on maintaining a
powder magazine and arsenal in his
palace. and why he kept hundreds of
ture or in the immediate neighborhood.
The palace. huge frame building re-
sembling an American summer resort
hotel rather than the official residence
of the head of a. republic, caught fire
from an explosion in the magazine,
which was Immediately underneath Lee
conte's chamber, and was soon envel-
oped in flames.
The first explosion occurred at 3 a. m.
yesterday. and was followed quickly Nv
fire. The flames ignited charges in the
cannon and small arms. and in a short
time there was a cannonading.
Following the arrest Of a negro pol
itician today who is reported to have
had dealings with the neighboring re-
public of Santo Domingo. it was re-
ported that grounds had been found to
warrant that Dominican officials were
interested in the plot.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The house
late yesterday unanimously adopted the
conference report on the agricultural

action on another of the national sup

The conferees struck out a provision
limiting the quarantine against the
Mediterranean fly so that it would APP
ply only to the Atlantic coast, This is
the second change which has been
made in the bill with regard to the

Harry Horowitz, called "Gyp the
Blood" who is wanted as a participant
in the Rosenthal murder, is the leader
of a band Of young outlaws who have
terrorized Harlem in the neighborhood
of. LenoX avenue and 116th street for
many years. They have openly defed
the honest policemen. insulted women
and young girls with impunity, at
tackled aged men and robbed them, SAL
lied downtown into the homes of un-
protected women and robbed them, shot
up gambling rooms and kept the whole
neighborhood in a turmoil. They have
bullied and browbeaten the policeman
honestly trying to do his duty by
threatening to write to Commissioner
Waldo and complain or frame up"
charges against the patrolman that will
make trouble.
Horowitz Outlaw Leader.
Horowitz himself is a tall, lanky,
yellow faced youth with a stoop and a
cringing way that certainly would not
mark him az a very bad man where real
men figure. In spite Of all his bravado,
he has gone to the captain Of the dis
trict crying like baby because he
feared the police suspected him OF
crime. And when a particularly afro
cious crime did point to him he found
influence to reach the system" and he
was not punished.
He was born in 115th street and
reared in the district where his gun
men make their headquarters. He re-
cruitd his bandits from the neighbor-
hood and from every other section of
the city that would turn out possible
good men for business He aggrieved
many a Harlem family by drawing into
his element young son who had
given promise of amounting to some
thing.
The temper of the gunner and their
fear of their fellow gangsters was
never more strikingly shown than when
William Shapiro, driver Of the noted
gray automobile used by the slayers Of

cion. 1t was not the law that Shapiro
feared-nOt the blue coated men who
had sworn to uphold the law. He quiz

the other prisoners, for he feared that
his old baIs would get" him as they
got that other who "squealed" Herman

BECKER WEEPS IN
CELL; IS NEAR
COLLAPSE
oVertures for Immunity for
Confession Said to Have
Been Refused.

NEW YORK. Aug 9.-Chief in
terest today in the police graft
scandal conferred upon the condi-
tion of Lieutenant Charles A Recker
the police official under indictmtnt for
Kosenthals murder According to some
reports. Becker is on the verge Of COL
lapse in the Tombs and is ready ~
make complete confession of the con-
hectlon between the police system"
and the under world,
In support of the reports that Beck
er Is weakening is report that John
r. Mcintyre, chief counsel for the ac
cused official, called upon District At
torhey whitman and made overtures to
ascertain If Becker could get a sentence
OF less degree for telling all he knew Of
the police connection with the crime
Upon McIntyre's return to the Tombs
it was said that Becker collapsed and
wept bitterly.
This Was taken to indicate that
Becker had received an unfavora BILE
answer to any message which he NAV
have conveyed to the district attorney
through his lawyer.
Nothing to Confess" SAYS Becker.
Lieutenant Becker was seen in his
cell by newspaper men to whom he
said that he had nothing to confess.
I want to be understood once and
for all that l have no confession to
make for the simple reason that I have
nothing to confess" said Becker. That
will be proven clearly and to the salts
faction of all at the proper time when I
have my day in court"
Bald Jack" Rose has astonished
even the district attorney by his reve-
lations Of huge profits Becker is alleged
to have received in tribute 1t is said
that Becker deposited $4,000 through
his wife in a single month and during
the same period banked $4,000 In his
own name.
1t was said at the criminal courts
building today that not only had Beck
er banked $4,000 in one month, but
that in a period of three months he had
put away sums estimated at between
100000 and 100000.
These sums arc said to have been
put away in Ave New York savinga
banks and in banks in Rochester, Phil
adelphia and cities in New Jersey. AS
sistant District Attorney Rubin IS said
TO have found that Becker had banked
money in Rochester
Collected $4,000 in Single Month.
Jack Rose is said to have told the
district attorney that he personally
collected $4,000 from gambling house
operators for Becker in z single month.
When the grand jury convenes next
Tuesday it is expected that seven in
dictments will be voted.
But the police are rot combining
themselves exclusively to this section.
Police posters containing pictures and
descriptions Of the three men are being
mailed to all sections of the country.
A shakeup of the New York
police force. beginning at the
top and extending all the way
down the line, is imminent as a result
of the graft exposures following the as
sassination of the gambler, Herman
Rosenthal, according to insistent re-
ports in political circles and about po-
lice headquarters today. \ prominent
Tammany Hall politician is quoted as
saving that Police Commissioner Wal
dos days of oficialdOm are numbered,
and that New York would have a new
commissioner within three weeks"

Many Policemen Members of
Desperate Bands or Entirely
Under Their Power.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-You can have
your enemy killed for $40, If you hire
a New York gunman. That's the low
est price, and it ranges up to $500, in
the schedule of crime brought out since
the Rosenthal murder has turned the
searchlight on the "Apaches of New
York" The system by which police
officers and the gangmen carry out
their work the remuneration and pro-
lection. the plotting and execution have
all been shown. No dime novel author
would have dared to weave such plot
and expect even youthful readers to be-
lieve It.
There are many gangs on the East
Side, sometimes enemies, sometimes
working for common end; but they
live by crime and their livelihood is
made possible by the protection given
them by the police They pay the debt
by crooked politics, repeating in cleo
tons, frightening away honest voters,
swinging precincts for ward leaders.
The system has strange ramifca-
lions. A clew found in the crookedest
alley of the East Side, if followed
through blind twists and turns, will
lead up to man high in the counsels
of the police department.
Policemen and Gangs.
How the gunner of New York have
become a powerful adjunct Of the gam
blers who are in league with the police
system was revealed by the Rosenthal
murder. How some Of the policemen
whom Commissioner Waldo is daily de-
Tending in statements have not only
developed the gunner, but assisted in
organizing them into murderous bands,
is a story that will amaze the reader.
The Roseuthal murder has shown
that nothing is too small and no crime
too great to stand in the way Of the
system" Murder is ordered, or
bought and paid for, as any commod-
ity. whenever ii is neCess ry, and the
murderers are taken care Of by certain
corrupt political leaders and police Of
fcals in the district until they are
needed again. To the credit Of the
politicians and the police it must be
said that the number who would con-
done a murder is very small.
A fair estimate of the union rates
charged by the gunner Of New York
for executing the orders Of their en-
ployers follows:
Slash on the cheek Gas favor, up
to O.. e. O.. o.. e.. O.. e. 90. o.. $40
Shot in the leg 80. .. 81 to S25
Shot in the arm . So to $50

profession, and 1t is known that in at
least one case a gunman killed a man
in cold blood on the upper East Side for
as little as $40 and that others have
received as high as $500 and $1,000 for
experimenting the Staying. with cor
responding amount for others that as
sisted.
Gangs Used to Win Elections.
Every election brings out the power
of the System" A leader finds that
he is in danger Of losing his district
through the vigorous campaign of his
rival. He and his henchmen then go
to the gunner or repeaters, give the
word and the man is elected, even If
murder is committed. The repeaters
are unmolested because word has come
through the police captains that the
bands helped the leader, and they know
that before long tribute and political
favors will be forthcoming.
one of the most powerful bands of
murderous hoodlums who work like
wolves-bravely when in large num-
bers-ts . the nondescript following
called the Gophers. Their bailiwick
stretches all along the western side
of the city from Greenwich village to
Fifty ninth street. They number in
all about 500 men, ranging in age from
IS to 40 and large is the list of crimes
they have committed. Murder is no
more than a pastime. and felonious as
saults, robberies and destruction of
business when it will benefit some ofe
in the band are mere incidentals to
their existence.
They will murder for money and
trust to their influence with the poll
ticians to square" the whole thing
through the system" They will muir
derously assault any man who crosses
their path at a tangent to their own
smooth way Of doing business. Several
of the most atrocious murders ever
committed in this city are charged to
them. and yet the guilty men walk
away, brush the dirt off their clothes
and get ready for the next event Many
of their members are policemen

Cites Far Reaching Results.
The results of President Tafts fear
less enforcement Of the anti-t trust law
have been far-reaching Not alone tie
trusts which he has prosecuted, but
those which deserved to be prosecuted,
have been halted in their Illegal pur-
suits, and the managers Of big businey -
are proceeding today with the utmost
caution lest they come within the pale
OF the law. They would not do SO if
there were "a practical man" in the
white house. They would not have to.
Then they could gain promise of I'M
munity from prosecution could they
but deceive such a man into believing
that the absorption of their rivals va
for the general good.
Those who want "a practical man"
one with whom they can do business
one who will exercise his own good
judgment and decide for himself which
are good trusts" and which are bad
which should be permitted to violate
the law, know they can neither deceive
nor corrupt Mr.. Taft.
Some Of the men no would perpetu-
ate their monopolles and disregard the
law undertook prior to the Chicago
convention the task of dscrediting in
the eyes of the American people the
man who, by his fearless enforcement
of the law, had won their fear and
| their hatred, but the American people
were not deceived, nor will they be in
this great fight. They will stand by
! the man who has stood by them and
| who has enforced their laws without
fear and without favor It is my con-
| fdence in the intelligence of the Amer
lean people which leads me to declare
that President Taft's inflexible enforce
ment of the anti trust law has been one
of the most forceful features of his ad-
ministration and to believe that be-
cause he has enforced that law he will
be re elected to continue it's undeviat-
ing enforcement.
