THE SLAYERS OF ROSENTHAL NEAR ARREST

Police Nets Drawn Tighter and Escape of the Guilty Ones Appears to Be Out of Question Now. (Continued from Page One) get from the men their version of what happened Tuesday morning." Through the confession of Wm. Shapiro, driver of the grey automobile used by the murderers in going to the Hotel Metropole to kill Rosenthal and in making their escape the district attorney was able to complete evidence against four of the murder suspects. Lieut Costigan said that gambling could not go in New York without the connivance of the police. The lieutenant made statements which reflected seriously upon several civilian memberg of the police force. Shapiro's confession has caused attention to be directed to men "higher up" who are believed to have inspired the crime. Shapiro stated that some of the assassins believed that in serving "Bald" Jack Rose they are aiding Lieut. Becker. Rose was considered a close confidential friend of Police Lieut Becker. FAVORS ADEMOCRAT TTo Head the New York State Ticket. (National News Association) ' NEW YORK, July 26. William H. Hotchkiss, chairman of the national Progressive party in New York state announced this afternoon that he favored the nomination of a Progressive Democrat to lead the Bull Moose ticket in New York state this fall. This announcement caused some excitement among the Republican followers of Theodore Roosevelt. William Barnes, jr., chairman of the Republican state committee stated this afternoon that the Regular Republican party would not attempt by any technicalities of the election law to hamper the election of Progressive electors in this state. ANDERSON RESIGNED From Wayne County Central Committee. R. G. Anderson, precinct committeeman, from Franklin township, today handed in his resignation as a member of the Wayne County Central Committee. In presenting his resignation he said that he could not be a party to the methods employed by the Taft Republicans and he has cut loose from the old party entirely and has offered his services to the Progressive party. B. G. McMahan. who is a member of the Wayne County Central Committee also said today that he would not serve on the committee and that he would offer his services to the new party organization. He says he Is willing to serve as a delegate to the Progressive State convention which meets in Indianapolis next week. A large number of the members of the Wayne County Central committee have expressed themselves as being bitterly opposed to the action of the regular Republicans at Chicago and would within the next few weeks hand in their resignations and then join the Progressive party. All arrangements have been completed for the mass convention which will be held at the Pythian Temple tomorrow afternoon and Chairman A. E. Smith predicts that the meeting will have representatives from all parts of the county. The meeting is scheduled for 2 o'clock and all Progressives are invited to attend. THE GNU IS A PUZZLE. It Ssms to Be Cross Bstwsen the Herts, Cow and Dssr. Did you ever hear of a horned horse? It is called the gnu and is a native of South Africa. The gnu is a puzxle. .We have called it a horse, but it is more like a cow. It really seems to be a cross between the horse, the cow and the deer. It has the head and horns of a cow, the tail, the mane and withers of the horse and the legs of a deei. Altogether the gnu is one of the most singular creatures on earth. The gnu inhabits the hilly districts of South Africa, roaming all over the country In vast herds. As far as travelers have yet penetrated it is -found, and it is fortunate that it is so, for the flesh of the gnu forms excellent food. Gnus are. however, extremely wild and, being very quick in their movements, are difficult to shoot. Upon the first alarm the whole herd scampers away In single file, following a leader. When seen from a distance they look like a troop of horses. Their speed is very great, and when first disturbed they do not exert it, but kick out their heels and begin butting at anything that comes in their way, exhibiting the greatest fury. Unless hard pressed they seldom show fight, but when brought to bay they will defend themselves desperately. They dart forward upon their enemy with great fury, and unless he remains cool ad collected he probably will not escape.

M1AMSBURG

COMING

Sunday's Game Will Be Hotly Contested. The Richmond ball club will meet a stiff proposition Sunday when it hooks horns with the new Miamisburg team, composed of the former "Victors" of Dayton. The Victors played the fastest kind of semi-professional ball, and when the Miamisburg team failed, was secured to represent Miamisurg in the K. I. O. League. The Victors played circles around the independent teams of Dayton in the Saturday afternoon leagues. It is expected that they will give the locals a tough game. "Heavy" Betts will star as the villain next Sunday when he heaves 'em over for the locals. The line-up of the team will not be changed, the new right fielder having given good satisfaction in the last two games. Stupp, the fast throwing short stop, Powell at first base, Dos Martin and the rest of the favorites of the locals, will be on deck. The game will be called as usual, at 3 o'clock. Who will umpire the game i3 not known. BASEBALL RESULTS NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Dickens' care for his material surroundings did not end with his bedroom. His favorite writing place at Gadshill was a Swiss chalet in the shrubbery, and this he fitted up in a most ingenious fashion. "I have put mirrors in the chalet where I write," he says in one of his letters, "and they reflect and refract in all kinds of ways the leaves that are quivering at the windows and the great fields of waving corn and the sail dotted river. My room is up among the branches of the trees, and the birds and the butterflies fly in and out. and the green branches shoot in at the open windows, and the lights and the shadows of the clouds come and go with the rest of the company. The scent of the flowers and Indeed of everything that is growing for miles and mil?s is most delicious." London Chronicle. Judging the Colt. The Arabs have two methods of estimating the height to which a colt will grow, the first being to stretch a cord from the nostril over the ears and down along the neck and compare thi3 measurement with that from the withers to the feet and the other method being to compare the distance between the knee and the withers with that from the knee to the coronet. In the first method it Is considered that a colt will tow as much taller as the first measurement exceeds that of the second, and in the second method, if the proportion is as two to one, the horse will grow no taller. Pedestrians. A teacher in a primary school was endeavoring to make clear to her class the meaning of the words "equestrianism" and "pedes trlanism" when she put this query to one small boy: "What is a pedestrian r "He is one of those fellows," said the boy.

ROW HOUSE

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 26. Representative Humphrey, of Washington, today in the House made a bitter assault upon Representative Norris of Nebraska, for refusing to name "men in high standing in the Taft party" who furnished information, showing that President Taft had been fraudulently supported by a majority of the delegates of the state of Washington at the Chicago convention. Likening Mr. Norris' comment to the method of the blackmailer and the poisoner of domestic peace, Rep. Humphrey declared he was using a method held in contempt by all decent men. "I listened to the statement of the gentleman from Nebraska," said Mr. Humphrey," and waited for him to give the name of the gentleman who was his informant. When I asked who the gentleman was he stated that the gentleman was a supporter of President Taft and a candidate for office on the Republican ticket. "No one would suspect the gentleman from Nebraska had ever served on the bench after hearing him enter such monstrous evidence as this. Suppose I should rise in my place in the House and name some fellow member and then declare I had been told by a man of national reputation who had investigated the record of the member, he was satisfied such member was a scoundrel and a criminal. Suppose when the name was demanded of me, I should refuse to give it because the man whom I quoted was a friend of the member and a candidate for office. What a monstrous proposition it is. Is it any less monstrous or any less dastardly to utter such statements about a large number of reputable citizens and to assassinate the reputation of a great political party? "This is the method of the anonymous letter writer held in scorn and : contempt by all decent men. This is the method of the blackmailer, the most cruel and cowardly of criminals to extort blood money from his helpless victims while shielding himself. This is the method of the bitterest poisoner of domestic peace in his neighbor's family. This is the method of the lowest and slimiest of all creatures, the vile monster that by anonymous whispers assassinates the reputation of virtuous women. "The gentleman from Nebraska discredits his own methods and impeaches this high-minded, far-famed and nameless witness of his. He informs us this great good man whose name we do not know believed the delegates from the state of Washington were stolen. In spite of this fact, the anonymous paragon of honor is supporting Taft, knowing that his nomination is stolen." BAD FOR CANDIDATES House May Not Close Session Until October. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 26. Prospects for an early adjournment of Congress received another jolt today when Mai jority Leader Underwood of the House declared that the general tariff question would be fought out following the passage of the various appropriation bills. The supply bill cannot be passed before August 15, said Mr. Underwood, and f tariff legislation is taken up there will be no adjournment before the first of September. Should the impeacement proceedings against Judge Archbald be begun the House may remain in session an other month, adjourning some time late in October. BIRTH OF A LETTER. The Way "W" Cams to Take the Place , of the Old "VV." The printers and language makers of the latter part of the sixteenth century began to recognize the fact that there was a sound in spoken English which was without a representative in the shape of an alphabetical sign or character, as in the first sound in the word "wet." Prior to that time it had always been spelled as "vet," the v having the long sound of u or of two u's together. In order to convey an idea of the new sound they began to spell such words as "wet," "weather," "web." etc., with two u's. and as the u of that date was a typical v the three words above looked like this: "Vvet," "weather," "web." After awhile the typefounders recognized the fact that the double u had come to stay, so they joined the two u's together and made the character now so well known as w. There are books in which three forms of the w are given. The first is an old double v (w); the next is one in which the last stroke of the first v crosses the first stroke of the second, and the third is the common w we use todav. Real Literary Crumbs. The librarian opened the book wide and shook it hard. Looking for possible love letters and mementos? a visitor asked. No; breadcrumbs. said the librarian. "Subsequent readers do not mind love letters, but they do object to breadcrumbs. Half the books brought back have crumbs tucked away between the leaves. That shows what a studious town we are. Our people are so enamored of literature that they can't stop reading long enough to eat; also it shows what a lonely town we are. Only people who live alone a great deal read anything except the newspaper at mealtime. And it shows what a slovenly town we are. In the Interests of hygiene and aesthetics those voracious readers who A cram their heads and their stomachs at the same time ought to clean their books of crumbs, but they never do."

Interesting Tale of a Flesh and Blood Man, Who Is Yef an Impossible Ideal, and Talks a Mongrel Dialect. August Magazines.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Douglas, Douglas, tender and true." So goes the lachrymose refrain of the sentimental old song. And such might be the "motto" adorning the title page of "A Man in the Open," by Roger Popock just issued through the Bobbs-Merrill Company. Here is an interesting story. Of a flesh and blood man. Not a clothes-prop or a prig or a chump or a cad or the fifty-seven other varieties of masculine incunabula. But a man as he should be in the sight of God. With a few furbishings up by a woman. It is to be doubted, however, if a man like "Jesse," the hero, really exists. He's an ideal. But the sort you like to dream about on a summer day with your hands behind your head. They talk of the man-gods drawn by women! But no woman ever dreamed one more exalted than the author of "A Man in the Open," who happens to be a man. By the way, the talk about the impossibility of a woman ever fictionally creating a real man hardly holds water. Jane Austen, in instance. Here was a woman of a genius so catholic it reached to the farthest human confine. And with a humorous appreciation of the sardonics of human relations. Her portraits of men are masterpieces of realism. They squirm under her microscopic inspection with every minute detail outlined as vividly as the whole. Jane Austen knew men as they really are. She is, therefore, not a favorite save with the occasional masculine entity. For men never like a complete expose of their peculiar psychology especially if it's by a woman. Men are horrible frauds. And know ft. But it pleases them to be hypocritically kowtowed to. However, not so is "Jesse," the hero of the embryonic best seller. For it will, of course, run the literary marathon. Otherwise it would not be published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. (One thousand dollars a line for that last.) The story begins in Labrador and ends in the mountains of the vaguely l defined West. "Jesse," who is the last of an evidently tubercular family is a gentleman of brawn, brain and heart, but little education and less sophistication. At least as to the idiosyncracies of femininity. Hence he gets mixed up in a matrimonial combine which all but blights his life. Later he meets an opera-singer in the wilds. The opera singer's' husband is given to chasing her playfully through the forest and o'er hill and stream with a double-barreled revolver. If there is such a thing. Anyway he makes it so unpleasant for the lady in the case that she confesses frankly to a violent loosening of tension when she sees him floating dead down stream after he has been shot up by Jesse. She smiles rather coolly and twists up her hair which has tumbled down in the usual "alluring mass." Afterwards she and Jesse get mar ried. Or think they do. Unfortunately the first wife, suppos edly deader than the traditional cof fin nail, turns up in the offing where she carries on a sort of road-house and country store, and where are held all sorts of frontier high jinks. Of course this makes the situation between Jesse and the opera singer somewhat anomalous. But after much melodrama the stock company at the Murray has nothing in virile dramatics on "A Man in the Open the opera singer is restored to the arms of the man-god and the -l If You Why Not Do It in

POISONED Flies drop into the food, the baby's milk, everywhere, or are ground into the carpets, rugs and floors. A poisoned fly is more dangerous than a live one. The poison is an added danger and does not kill the germs on the body of the fly. Fly traps are offensive and unsanitary, the care of them disgusting. The fly destroyer that catches both the flies and the germs they carry and coats them over with a varnish from which they never escape, is

curtain is rung down to a chorus of amens on the last page. This is all if you can sail through the thick fog of Jesse's dialect. And its fearsome linguistic acrobatics. George Meredith nor yet Henry James have nothing on Jesse in the matter of constructive obscurity. The writer's knowledge of Roger Popock is not vast and far-reaching no doubt unpardonably limited but it's a safe bet he don't write this hot off the bat in a summer's afternoon. To put down on paper the maunderings of Jesse through the stellar dialect spaces requires, oddly enough, some erudition. After hurdling the first chapter or two the book, in shore, is fascinating reading. In the language of the street, also, it contains some "hot stuff." This for example: "I'd get religion, mother, but for the sort of swine I seen converted, but even for the sake of finding grace I ain't going to graze with them cattle." "Women are reckoned mighty cute at reading men. but I've noticed when I've struck the complete polecat, that he's usually married. So long as a woman keeps her head she's wiser than a man, but when she gets rattled she's a sure fool. She'll keep her head with the comon run of men, but when she strikes the all around stinker, like a horse runs into a fire, she ups and marries him." "Sloth walks in front of trouble, peace follows after. Water is nothing till you thirst, rest nothing till

you're weary, calm nothing till you've faced the storm, peace nothing until after war. "Many find peace in death, only a few in life, and I found peace thar in the wilderness, the very medicine of torn souls, fresh from the hand of the Almighty Father." MAGAZINE NOTES. The August magazines are attractive, especially in cover design that for Scrlbner's being a brilliant bit of color and admirably drawn. This magazine which gives much attention to color-printing has other charming examples of this art in its current issue, including two of a series of "Dickens's Children" being drawn by Jessie Wilcox Smith. A short story "Blood Will Tell" by Richard Harding Davis, will interest the admirers of that writer's skillful story telling talents and "The Letters of George Meredith" the devotees of that famous novelist. "Interesting People" "features" a number of those before the public in various roles, in the August number of The American Magazine, and while a story "Under the High Cut Vest" is played up on the cover as a leading attraction of this issue, another story by W. J. Locke, called "The Adventures of the Fickle Goddess" will delight the readers of that fascinating writer. Ida Tarbell proves amusing in her commentary, more or less sarcastic, on "A Woman and her Raiment" which the illustrations accentuate. "Our Dumb Animals" for August should be looked over by everyone, a leading article "The Achievements of Dogs" being a resume of incidents, historic and otherwise, quotations from famous writers and other references of a general character to this most human of the lower animals. This number is full of a variety of interesting reading matter and replete with striking illustrations. "The Garcia Family" is an entertaining article in "The Musical Courier" for July 24th, about a notable musical family of whom Manuel Garcia who died in 1832 in Paris was the musical founder, and of which the celebrated Malibran was a member. This extraordinary family of musical geniuses made their impress on every generation since early in the nineteenth century and were famous teachers as well as Bingers and impresarios. "The Construction News," a weekly Destroy Hies & for

publication ?ent out from Chicago, has. in its last issue, much valuable information of a technical character, and features George C. Nimmons. the well known Chicago architect, who might be called a progressive in his artistic profession since he has done much within the past decade or so to revolutionize the manner of construction of business buildings of a various character, the article being illustrated with pictures of some of this architect's most notable achievements.

"Down the West Coast" is a vivacious narrative by Charles Johnson Post of a trip from Panama down the West 6lde of South America, with attractive and amusing illustrations by the author. "Learning to Hit a Tennis Ball' is another Interesting and informational article and "How to Sleep Warm Outdoors" should take the at tention of the fresh air "fiends." This issue of Outing, in fact, appeals to the expositor of every phase of outdoor life. "The Craftsman" has been running a series of charming covers this year, not the least of which is that on the August number which has for its decorative basis the black-eyed susan. The magazine is, as usual, handsomely and profusely illustrated and has for some of its leading articles "Getting a Living from a Single Acre." "A New Architecture In a New Land," which deals with Southern California, "Public Parks for the People," and one or two striking stories. CHUCK, TONG LEADER KILLED BY ASSASSIN (National News Association) NEW YORK. July 26 Joe Chuck, thought by the police to have been a tong traitor was assassinated early today as he sat peeling potatoes in the yard in the rear of the N. Y. restaurant at 11 Pell street where he was employed as a cook. The assassin fired at him from the roof of the building in the rear of No. 11 and made his escape. Three shots, two of which entered his abdomen and one which pierced his left leg, were fired. Chuck toppled off the chair dead.
