touch with his campaign manager
and discussed with them everything

conference with Lewis Nixon, a for
mer head of Tammany, who called to
urge the presidential candidate to
favor ship subsidies, to uphold the
merchant marine and to favor the
construction of not less than two

talk tariffs with the governor.

TO INVESTIGATE
POLICE CRAFT
New York Aldermen Will
Take Up the Matter.
Special bv United Press Wire.


New York, July 30:-The entire
alleged alliance between the gam
blers and other law breakers and the
police, as a side line of which Her
man Rosenthal was murdered and
Police Lieutenant Becker has been
indicted for murder in the first de-
gree, will be investigated by the
Board of Aldermen and outside
counsel will be hired. This will be
entirely independent of the grand
jury investigation now in progress
under District Attorney Whitman.
Between the two 1t was confidently
asserted today that the entire inside
of the l ,lice graft payments would
be revealed.
Mayor Gaynor after refusing to
sign any petition authorizing the
Board of Aldermen to investigate
the graft charges and writing Police
Commissioner Waldo directing him
to keep Becker on duty, today COM
pletely reversed his decision. He
stated that he would sign the resolu-
ton and see to it that the city ap-
propriated money enough to make
the probe thorough. This action fol-
lowed a conference with Police Com
missioner Waldo, who, 1t is under
stood, urges such action.

New Brunswick, July 30:-Ac-
cording to figures submitted yester-
day by Sheriff Albert Bollschweiler
to the Board of Freeholders, it cost
Middlesex county over $4,000 for
the recent labor troubles In Perth
Amboy and Roosevelt. OF this
amount the freeholdeil were called
upon by Mr.. Bollschweiler some
time ago to raise $4,000, which was
expected to cover the entire ex-
pense. The labor difficulties did not
abate, however, and the county will
be called upon to bear an additional
expense of over $4,000.
Sheriff Bollschweiler's bills will
be met by the Board of Freeholders,
who will call upon the property own
ers and industries protected by the
county forces during the strikes to
reimburse the county In part, ut
least. There appears to be no
means whereby the county can force
donations from the factories affect
ed, but it Is expected that number
Of plants will contribute.

vising them to begin repairs. II

improving the bridge with new abut-
. ments instead of rebuilding the en-.
Etire structure, with the understand
1ng that the b1ard will build a new
bridge If the changes do not prove
satisfactory.

abutments to replace the present
wooden abutments, which have been
condemned by the War Department
Owing to the weakness OF the bridge

touch with Rose, calling him up twice
day at Harry Pollock's house and dis
cussing with Mo- matters that had y; trss
be looked into" Aid Secs ser knew ex
actly where to find Rose when the
word went out from the office of Mayor
Gaynor that Rose had to be found or
that much trouble would meet up with
certain policemen. So 1t was not at
Far Pockaway, but at Pollock's house,
that Becker conveyed to Jack Rose the
hint that 1t would be best for diplo-
matte reasons to appear at police head
quarters.
The bald gambler, who included in
his confession a frank statement that
for long time he had been collecting
money from gambling houses, not only
for Lieutenant Becker, but for officials
higher up In the police department,
swears he did not know that murder
was to be done the night his hired
thugs met at Bridge Webber's and
sat there waiting for the signal that
Rosenthal, the squealer, the man who
| had shouted to the whole city that
Becker had been his gambling partner
and had then betrayed him, was about
| to leave the Metropole. Rose says he
knew something was to be done to
Rosenthal but that he would have
| hInched from the task II he had known
pistols were to be used against the In
| former.
But Rose so Incriminated himself In
| his confession that the district attor-
ney did not attach q great deal OF
weight to his pretence of ignorance
| that an assault, not q murder, was
contemplated when the gray car de-
livered It's desperate freight In Forty
third street.
| Bridge Webber, the host Of the
murder conspirators, backed up Rose
and told of what was said when be
and Rose met Becker uptown a few
days before the murder. Becker was
hot for the killing. But 1t seemed
| to him that Rose could not make good
alone So he said to Weber:
"Bridsis, Rose says that they won't
do this job for him. Now, you've got
to order it done. I've got tho power
and you've got tho money. You soc
that this thing is pulled off,"
And Webber adds that he was one
of the party that met in Forty second
street, outside of the Murray Hill
| baths after the killing. He says he
heard what Becker said to Rose at
that time, when Becker was calmly
promising protection and immunity
| for the assasSins.
! But then they have the word that
other confessions are Just around the
| corner; that the weakening of Rose,
| the man familiar with the details of
| the arrangements. the man who was
| the go-between and scout, will serve to
melt the reserve of the other conspira-
| tors. 1t can be said that every man
| now held for murder. except Becker.
will be lmmunIzed If they tell the
whole truth about the plot and its
consummation.
| The confessions that revealed per-
| haps the most extraordinary story of
| officially instigated crime that the city
ever knew were the result OF an ar
rangement made by the district attor-
ney with Max D. Steuer. counsel for
| Bridgie Webber, and with James NJ.

NEW ENGLAND, Aug. 14.-H. c.
Cotton is thanking his lucky stars for
the possession of the sixth sense that
told him that something was wrong
when he was riding along in his al-
tomobile three miles east Of town
last Thursday evening. He looked
around just in time to see that his
automobile was on fire and had bare
ly time to jump from the machine
when 1t went up in smoke. He had
only ran q short distance when the
gas tank exploded and in few min
utes the prestolite tank also blew up.
The car was completely destroyed by
hre.
Mr.. Cotton had been on a trip q
number OF miles east of town and
was returning alone when the acci-
dent occurred. For the past year ne
has been running stage between
new England and Dickinson with his
Case touring car. There are several
different reasons a. to the cause Of
the car burning up. There may have
been leak In the gasoline tank,
which allowed the gasoline to leak
down onto the muhler or a backfire
may have ignited some gasoline or
oil In the pan under the machine.
Mr.. Cotton carried only $500 incur
ance and his loss is q heavy one.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IA
The pension bureau today faces the
greatest financial crisis in Its history
as result Of lack Of funds to pay
pensioners. The San Francisco
agency has a balance of exactly sew
en- cents, and Detroit only four
cents. Reports from all agencies re-
ceived at the bureau tell the same
story Of no money for veterans and
their dependents on the nations
pension list. This conditiSn ID. due
to the delay Of congress In passing
the pension appropriation bill. The
extension of the old appropriation
bill for a fifteen-day period so that
one twenty-fourth OF last years ap-
preparation might be used to pay less
than half of the $45, 100000 due Au-
gust 4, has left two hundred thou
sand pensioners unpaid, at Indian
apolis, Knoxville, Louisville, New
York, Philadelphia and Topeka.
There is no hope for them until con-
gress acts.
Acting Pension Agent Fountain at
New York today reported to Com
missioner Davenport that the condi-
ton there was very serious, as many
army and navy pensioners are desti-
tute, and that the Withholding Of
their pension money is almost crimi.
nal"
Funds available today are but
$1.79 at Philadelphia; $97 at Louis
vile; where half million is due;
$87 at New York city; not cent at
Concord, N. NJ; at Indianapolis only
enough to last one day; Columbus
$124, and Boston $145.
NO pension in July, had to 60 to

at Pensacola, Fla, in Letter receiv-
ed by the pension bureau today.
