CHARGE MADE THAT
COPS WERE "F|xEO"
Made by Driver of Auto from
which Gambler Rosenthal
Was Shot Down.
tNational News Assocfatior1

NEW YORK, July IS William
which rode the men who killed Her
man Rosenthal, the wealthy gambler,
in front of the Hotel Metropole after
Rosenthal had accused the police with
being in league with the gamblers,
through his attorney today charged
that he was told by one of the murder
party that the police had been fixed"
and that official arrangements had
been made for the murderer to escape
This sensational statement followed
fast action in which these things hap
pened: Jack Rose, friends of Police
Lieut.. c. A. Becker, whom Rosenthal
alleged to be his partner, surrender
ed today and was subsequently charg-
ed with murder. He admitted hiring
the auto used by the assassin to es-
cape. He will be examined Monday.
Mayor Gaynor today took hand in
the investigation and summoned Lieut..
Becker to his office for a conference.
This action is believed to be a fore.
runner of general shakeup in the
police department.. Policeman File who
was in the Hotel Metropole when the
murder was committed was suspend
ed from duty today after Commission
er Waldo held an investigation to
which all of the policemen who were
in the vicinity of the hotel at the time
were called.
While funeral services were being
held for Rosenthal today efforts were
being made to induce the widow of
the slain gambler to leave New York
so that she could give further informa-
ton to the district attorneys office
regarding her husbands affairs. An
unknown woman called Mrs. Rosen-
thai on the telephone and tried to
make an appointment with her in a
hotel. Mrs. Rosenthal, who declined
the invitation, declared that some peo.
pie are trying to get her out of New
York as soon as her husband is buried
but added that she did not intend to
go. Il will stay and tell the district at.
torney all that l know" said Mrs
Rosenthal.

POLICE AND YEGGS
IN PISTOL BATTLE
Following Attempt to Blow a
Safe at Pittsburg Early

PITTSBURG, July 1S-A desperate
revolver duel between police and
'yeggmen" on the Grant boulevard at
33rd street, early this morning follow
ed an attempt by safeblowers to crack
the safe of the Superior Oil Company
at $500 Grant boulevard
The first charge OF nitroglycerine
brought John Irwin from the agency
of the Packard automobile company
next door, who switched on the lights
in the front window of the auto agen-
cy. He stepped outside and was
promptly covered by "yegg" who told
him to keep quiet.
A second charge was exploded while
Irwin had his hands up tearing off the
safe door. The police attracted by the
noise came from several directions
and a revolver duel with the crooks
followed. The battle became too hot
for the cracksmen who escaped by a
back door. Although many shorts were
fred none was hurt as far as can be

ITALIAN ATTACKS
GREENSBORO GIRL
Arrested by Sheriff Follow
ing Big Blaze in the Vii
lage This Morning.

While Sheriff Stein and his deputy
We're doing police duty at the fire
which destroyed business block at
GreensSork this morning they were mo-
tilted OF an attack made by an Italian
laborer on young girl near Green's
fork, Miss Pickett. A criminal as
sault was attempted.
The accused was arrested by the
Sheriff while returning on the special
fire train from Greensboro at an early
hour this morning
Miss Pickett, who lives with her
mother in Greensboro, but who is en-
gagged as domestic in a nearby coun-
try home, east of Greensboro, while
returning home Tuesday evening, tax
ing short cut through a corn field,
was intercepted by Mitoff who is twen-
ty years old. He Dragged her in a
rough and insolent manner and made
insulting remarks to her. Screa ming
and yelling for help the girl broke
away from the clutches of the foreign
er, who then made his escape.
Mrs. Pickett, mother of the girl, is
one OF the most respected women in
Greensboro. Several years ago she was
deserted by her husband, who went TO
parts unknown. Since that time Mrs.
Pickett has maintained her family in
the best manner possible under trying
conditions Not knowing the county
would prosecute the case, accounts for
the mothers delay in having the young
Italian arrested.
The arrest was most sensational.
On leaving Greensboro it soon became
noised around that there was a young
"Dago" to be arrested who had at
tempted to commit an assault on a
young girl, and that he was down the
line" Fearing that the Italian might
get wind of the warrant for his arrest,
Fireman Pierson put on little more
steam and Engineer Ganter opened the
throttle little wider. AS the train
neared Olive Hill, the Italian gang
was espied by the crew and the Sher-
lff Firemen who had been fighting the
flames at Greensboro and the train
crew armed themselves with chunks
of coal ready for the fray. should there
be any hasty actions on the part OF
the Italians Sheriff Steen and his dep
uty Rice Miller however. calmly slid
off the train and approached the Ital
ians. The firemen were along side the
car ready to hurl the coal, but alas
the sheriff picked his man. and put on
the handouts. The special fire train
and patrol wagon then resumed the
journey to Richmond.

LEAPS HIGH BRIDGE
FIRST Successful Jump Off
! Great New York Bridge.
National News Association)


{ NEW YORK, July 1S-For the first
time since the Greensboro bridge has
Ispanned the East River a man jumped
from the towering structure and lived
to tell the tale today. Joseph Smith, a
laborer, 81 years of age and despond-
ent climbed over the guard rail and
leaped to the river 135 feet below.
Hundreds of people walking across
the structure saw the suicide attempt
and watched the body go hurting
through space, turning repeatedly in
the air and finally striking the water
with splash that sent the spray dash
ing high. None of the Mortified wit
nesses had the slightest idea that
there was possibility of Smith es-
Gaping with his life.
A tug passing near where he struck,
Immediately put about and steamed to
where he struck. He was floating and
making efforts to swim. Pulled aboard
the tug he was found to be injured
and rushed to the Bellevue hospital
where it is said that while probably
hurt internally he would live.

TO GREET LORIMER.

~ CHICAGO, July 1S.-Friends of ex-
Senator William Lorimer planned a

meeting will be held at the Auditorium

cipal speaker.

A NEWSPAPER JOKE
CAUSED SENSATION
Cub Reporter Falls for Joke
by His Fellows on Bomb
at White House.
tNational News Association

WASHINGTON, July 18.-A story
widely circulated throughout Washing
ton to the effect that an Internal ma
chine containing six pounds of dyna-
mite had been sent to President Taft
and that Sherman Allen, one of his
secretaries, had been slightly injured
by the bomb, caused wild excitement
in official circles for several hours to-
day. The report was so apparently cir
cumstantial that various legislators
called at the White House to tender
their congratulations to President
Taft for what had been reported to be
a miraculous escape from death" on
the part of his secretary.
When the excitement had reached
it's climax, however, the report was de
clared false.
Mr. Allen emphatically contradicted
the report. denying an Internal ma
chine had been received at the White
House yesterday addressed to Presi.
dent Taft, that it had been opened and
the lighted fuse smothered ouly by
the prompt action of Mr.. Allen.
There is absolutely nothing in the
story" said the assistant secretary.
No such machine was received here;
indeed no package came to the presi.
dent through me yesterday. / have no
idea where such report originated for
il has not the slightest foundation in
fact
Chief Wilkie, of the secret service
also denied the report.
Investigation proved that cub re
porter for a New York newspaper had
been strung" by his fellow workers
and telegraphed the sensational story
to his newspaper despite assurance la
ter given him that they were ''only
kidding him.

year-old Julia Connors committed sui

street early today. The striking resem-
blance of the body to the description
OF Schwartz caused theh police to inn

proved to be without foundation.

Schwarts's last three hastily written
notes, one of which was complete

just before the man turned on the gas
preparatory to taking his last sleep.
The confession was dated yesterday. It
was apparently written with the idea
that he would be able to comfort his
mother with his last words. He said
that he was doing as he had been told
to do by his father. The confession in
full was as follows:
