Witness, Former Partner of Herman
Rosenthal, Declares He Gave Out
Fifty Thousand Dollars in Seventeen
Years-Brother-i n-Law of Charlie
Murphy One Of the Grafters.

New York, Feb. 7.-Herman Rosen-
thal's one time partner in gambling
picked up the broken threads Of Ros
enthars story today and told the alder
manic committee investigating graft
a tale of money paid for police prttec-
tion eclipsing that of Jack" Rose,
Charles Beckers collector. For II
years James Purcell said he had paid
for the privilege of running gam
bling house, making handbook or
conducting a poolroom. In all he gave
the police more than $4,000, he de-
clared. in this period.
Former Sheriff Harvey Of Queens
county, Police Inspector Mclaughlin,
half dozen police captains, including
brother in law of Charles f. Muir
ply, the Tammany leader, and scores
of Wardheelers and policemen, some
now on the force, others off, were
among the men who got the money, he
said Once, he said, orders came "in-
directly" from Murphy himself to close
up. He moved at once.
Becker Got Some.
Charles Becker, now in the death
house at Sing Sing for the murder of
Rosenthal, got $3.50 from him for fix
ing" the evidence against him and five
others taken in a raid Becker made on
his gambling house, Purcell declared.
Becker was then head of the strong
arm" squad for the suppression of
gambling.
Il have paid money to every squad
that was ever detailed from head
quarters to suppress gambling, except
one,' Purcell testified.
''They all took it, except Costigans
Costigan was on the level.'
Costigan was referred to during the
first investigation of the Rosenthal
case as the "honest policeman"
In return for this protection money,
Purcell said, the police generally let
him alone. When they had to act
on complaints from the outside, they
tipped him off," he declared. He al
ways moved to another house when
thus informed. For a while, he moved
every day.
Defied Them Once.
Once he defied the police. For nine
months he detied them, when he had
Jack McAuliff, former lightweight
champion, for a partner. They ran a

men at the door of his establishment,

Consul's Report.

1t is shown in consul Fuller's report
that the helpless people of the district
were victims OF II medieval system Of
barbarous oppression welded by the
Peruvian Amazon company, an Eng
liSh concern which works the rubber
fields i'll the upper Amazon country.
1t Is asserted that when the Indians
failed to bring in u toll of rubber suf-
f1cient to satisfy the oversoors of the
company, flogsing, mutlation and
sometimes death followed
Debts are declared to have been the
chain with which the Indians were fet-
tered. BY being encouraged to buy
more imported goods than they ever
could hope to pay for. they have been
reduced to what Consul Fuller found
was virtual slavery.
Little hope for the relief of the long
suffering Indians is held out in the
Fuller report, for the region is remote
from the seat of the Peruvian govern
mcnt, and Mr., Fuller finds that the
traVosty on justice which exists in the
rubber section is entirely in the hands
of the rubber companies section
chiefs.
The temptation to abuse Is imminent
and strong, especially since the white
staff Is offered a bonus for vigilance.
Mr.. Fuller finds that while profess
ing not to approve cruel and inhumal
treatment, the whites generally rcgarG
the Indian as having been created by
| Providence for the use and benefit OF
| the superior race, This attitude Of tn,
| people has found concrete expression

London, Feb. 7.-Fighting continues
between the Turks and allies in south
eastern Europe, but in the absence Of
independent reports, the conflicting
accounts from official sources provide
no basis for critical judgment of what
is happening.
The most interesting news of the
day received here, told of the flight of
Greek hydro -aeroplane over the
Dardanelles.
Rumors continue to circulate here of
the approaching renewal of peace ne
gotiations. Nothing definite is known
in this respect, but Bulgaria and
Roumania are about to resume at
Sofia their negotiations on the from
tier question which recently were in
terrupted in London.
It Is understood that the last meet
ing of the ambassadOrial conference
discussed the Albanian question and
the conferees argued for and against
sending an international commission
to delimit the frontiers of the new
Albanian state.
