HALTS ARREST OF CONSUL.
Attorney General Forbids Serving of
Warrant on Mexican Official.

The Attorney General has instructed
the United States attorney at FL Paso not
to serve for the present the warrant for the
arrest of Enrique LIorentc. the Mexican
consul charged with violating the neutral
ity laws, unless the government possessed
more information than it had when the
case originally was investigated. At
that time three men were indicted Cn the
charge of sending arms into Mexico. The
grand jury did not indict the consul, how
ever.
There is doubt whether the United
States commissioner has authority to
cause the consuls arrest through
specially designated officer as he
threatens to do, the commiss oner having
declared that he would take the matter
out of the hands of the United States at
torney and act upon his own authority.

Charles Becker's hired gunmen shot
Hermann Rosenthal to death last July is
declared today to be under way a
suit of the story told to the aldermanic
committee Yesterday by James Purcell,
who ran games of chance in many houses
under police protection for nearly seven
teen years. according TO his testimony.
"Purcells story will be investigated in
all its ramifcations, it was stated at
police headquarters today on behalf of
Commissioner Waldo, who had before him
the four precinct captains still members
of the force who were accused by Purcell.
Captains Deny Charges.

gamblers allegations that they took

cell Each of the four denied in sworn
statements the truth OF Purcelrs charges
One of the quartet is Patrick j. Cray,
