Acquitted by the gun-manly
stand of witnesses who probably
knew everything but what they
told, George McManus is freed of
the charge of numbering Arnold
Rothstein-gambler king of Man
haitian. The states case collapsed
and was booted out of court for
lack of evidence. Nobody, least of
all the prosecution, expected a
conviction. The real answer to
this judicial fiasco is found in the
remark of the attorney for Roth
stein estate that "If the Rothstein
private files are ever made pub
lie, New York will witness an ep-
idemic of suicides" In New York,
the so-called underworld and the
social register have many con
facts. True to his code, Rothstein
died with his lips Theoretically
sealed as to the identity of his
slayer.

The return of the dime novel
has sent Woolworth into the dime
magazine business. Woolworth
stores sold $780, 900 %ten-cent maya
zines in the first two days they
were put on sale, and nov the
publishers are putting in presses
and equipment to turn out 5,O00,-
600 t%en-centers a month for Wool
worth. The cost of the magazine
is exactly five cents. so on a five
million monthly business Wool
worth will clean up a quarter mil
lion dollars profit; the publisher
gets the advertising rakeoff for
his profit which is plenty in view
of the fact that the advertiser
pays $4,000 per page. A whole lot
of Woolworth's success is based
on the fact that most everybody
has ten cents.
