 The RoSenthal Killing.
 All the civilized world knows that of which Charles A Becker stands accused
 At ? o'clock in the morning ol July 16, Herman Rosenthal, a gamb- Ter. Vas shot down i'll front Of the Metropole Hotel, by a band of thugs who came to the scene of the murder in a gray automobile, now famous as the murder car.
 The day before ne met his death Rosenthal had testified to District Attorney Whitman that Lieutenant Becker had been his partner in a gambling house. Furthermore he swofe that Becker had enriched him. self by levying blackmail on the deni- zens of the underworld.
 Rosenthal left the District Attorney before he had completed his alleged expose. He was to have returned the following day 10 tell the district at torney the rest of it.
 But he didn't return.
 The logic of the situation pointed it's accusing finger at Becker. Attor- nev Whitman had personally unearth- ed enough evidence to justify him, lie thought. in ordering Beckers arrest.
 After the thugs had killed Rosen- thal. a functon for which Becker Is accused of hiring them, they return ed to the murder car and leisure ly quit the scene, driving down tft brilliantly lighted street, unmolested with score of policemen within ont hundred yards of the spot where Rosenthal fell.

T. r. to Testify,

Washington, Oct. Politicians
are predicting all sorts of things to
happen when Colonel Roosevelt ap-
pears before the secenat committee
investigating campaign contributions
today. He arrived here at 2:30 this
afternoon and will go directly to the
committee to give his testimony. 1t
is known that opponents of the Col
onel are prepared to make the most
possible out of the declarations that
he will make before the investigat-
ors. Rumors are current that Miss
Bliss, daughter of the late treasurer
of the national republican commit.
tee, has sent important testimony
to the committee in lieu of being
excused from testifying personally.
1t Is also said that Mrs. Hartman
has submitted some facts which she
knew about her late husbands con-
tributions. AS both of these ladies',
as well as some of the other wit
nesses are anything but friendly in
their feelings toward the progressive
candidate, it is not believed unlike
ly that their testimony will reflect
more to his hurt than good.

NEGROES HOSTILE
TO ROOSEVELT
THE BULL MOOSE WILL GET UP
AGAINST A BLACK CLOUD IN
BALTIMORE.

Baltimore, Oct. Colonel Roose-
welt is scheduled to speak here this
evening at the Lyric Theater, but
Immediately upon his arrival the
leaders OF the progressive movement
here will inform him that there is
noC only disaffecton among the
white members of the party, but the
rankest discomfort among the color
ed voters who helped make 1t posi-
bic for Roosevelt to carry Mary
land in the primaries last spring.
AS Dr. Charles Fowler, a leading
negro of this city, puts it:
MANY of us were ardent devotees
to Mr. Roosevelt, but ne siandered
our brother in the south and repu-
dated our race with a sop of flat
terry for the north. If he wrote his
personal views in the Julian Harris
letter he is not our friend, for he
sets up a division among friends;
if he wrote as a politician he was
ungratcful and sold some while with
platitude he would win their BROTH
ers and hold them by a farcical
compliment of superiority in class
and political efficiency.
"As my brother in the south arc
bone of my bone. flesh of my flesh,
| must stand with them as a pro.
test against this dangerous plan,
which with the force of Mr.. Roose-
velt behind, admits that political
serfdom is right, and says that
wherever Acknowledgement is prac.
ticed, or may be practiced, the po-
litical enrollments are nulled and
the man with the franchise, if col
ored, must submit until others shall
say he can contend.
II have not and am not satisfied
with the entire management of the
republican party, but I believe and
advise all who are alert that it will
be political inconsistency for our
people not to support the republi-

Compromise.

Champ Clark, during the Baltimore
deadlock, told a reporter a compro-
mise story:
Compromises, he said, always
strike one as unpleasant and unsat-
isfactory.
There was once in the Ozarks a
boy who, on reaching the age of fif-
teen, insisted on having a watch to
wear. But his father refused him
the watch. Can't afford no sech
foolishness, he said.
Then by heck, I'll leave home
said the lad and went up to the at
tic and began packing his carpet
bag.
AT this point the mother in her
desperation came out with COM
promise.

fought company stores tooth an l
