Tells Tale Of Tragedy in

HELPED PLAN CRIME.
Vallon, Gyp the Blood, and Lefty
Louie Fired Fatal Shots-Whitey's
Gun Missed Fire.

Albany, N. Y, April 14.-The ac-
tual murder of Herman Rosenthal
for which the four gunmen were eX-
ecuted yesterday morning at Sing
Sing, was committed by Harry Val
lon, "Gyp the Blood" and Lefty
Louie" according to the confession
made by "Dago Frank" Ciroici be-
fore he was led to the chair. inns
confession was made public last
night by State Superintendent OF
Prisons John B. Riley, after Cover
nor Glynn had read it.
The pleadings of the mother anc
sister OF Dago Frank, and the hope
of the young Italian, induced the
confession. 1t came too late, how
ever, and indicated that Frank was
equally guilty with the others, an1
for these reasons it failed to save
him Fear that terrible consequent
ces would result from the confession
and horror of impending d,ath
caused Cirofci to collapse when ne
ended his recital.
Cirofici would have confessed sew,
eral days ago but for the fact thai
he had been Ierrorized by the Other
three gunmen with threats of death
to his mother and sister if he tote
anything. The gunmen were fearful
lest ne should tell, and communities
ted to him these threats, between
the cells in the death house.
New York, April 14.-"Dago
Frank" Cirofci's dying confession as
to the sensational murder of Gamb'
Ter Herman Rosethal will aid mater
ially in sending former Police Lieut.
Charles Becker to the chair as the
master mind in the slaughter plot
according to the view of District
Attorney Whitman expressed today
Whitman declared that in no es'
sential detail had Cirofci's ante
mortem statement contradicted the
stories of Weber, Vallon, and the
other irformers, and he said it hac
almost absolutely confirmed the
story of the tragedy told by "Balt
Jack" Rose the principal alleged 60
between for Becker and the gunner
who slew.
Tomorrow the district attorney
will move to have Becker's secone
trial set for the first Monday II
May.

WILL HEAR ARGUMENT.
Supremc Court to Settle West Vir-
ginia Debt Question.

Washington, April disagreement
was reached here in the Supreme
Court of the United States that the
court would on next Wednesday hear
argument in the case of Virginia
against West Virginia, as to why the
decision of the court rendered about
two years ago, Eecreeing that Var-
ginia was entitled to receive fronl
West Virginia the sum of S7,OOO,OOO
shoulEl not be reduced to s2,OOO,Ooo
This is an old story to those who
have followed the efforts of the Old
Dominion to have West Virginia pay
part of the fond-standing debt which
she rightfplly owes.
About four or five years ago form
er Congressman Charles E. Littlefield,
of Maine, was appointed a special
commissioner to take testimony in the
/ case. After laborious work he made
his report to the court and that body
later on ;recreed that Virginia was ihe
the sum of s7,OOO,OOO, but left the
| amount of interest to be settled be-
tween the parties. Just here there
came the stumbling block. West Viz
ginia claims that she owes no interest,
and but small part of the principal
! After the court has heard the matter
"Wednesday it is assumed that a deci-
sion of such a character as will be fna,
will be rendered and that West Virgi-
ria will then have to pay Virginia
what she should have paid her years
ago.

Twenty-Four Hours.
HUERTA'S DEFIANCE.
Conference of Cabinet Ministers Held
Today-United States Preparing to
Meet Issue.

I Washington, April 14.-lntense
excitement prevailed in Administra-
ton circles this morning regarding
Mexican affairs. Ali signs pointed
to some vigorous action to be taken
by the United States in Mexico with
in the next forty-eight hours. The
situation at Tampico hangs in the
balance.
John Lind conferred with Presi-
dent Wilson at 10 o'clock. But be-
fore this conference took place there
was another of even greater slgnifl-
canoe. Rear Admiral Blue, chief
of the Bureau of Navigation and
Acting Secretary Of the Navy, was
called into hurried conference with
Secretary of State Bryan and Mr.
Lind at the State Department. Over
this conference hung an air of ex-
treme gravity. When it broke up
Mr.. Lind and the Secretary of State
accompanied by Cone Johnson, solic-
itor of the State Department, hur-
ried to the White House.
In order that greater secrecy
might surround the meeting between
the President aud his envoy, this
roro,,oo u-oc held IN the library
Of the executive mansion.
Belief is strong now that Huerts
has decided to defy the United
States, and refuses to salute tht
Stars and Stripes. In PREPARATION
for the insult to the flag at Tampl'
co, the Government of the United
States is prepared to meet the IS
sue. The whole situation hangs or
hair balance.
