N. Y. Gambler, Says Prose
cutor-Five Under Arrest.
NEW YORK, July 22.—District At
torney Whitman’s detectives have de
termined that the murder of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal in front of the Met
ropole hotel just before he was to lift
the curtain from all of the graft trans
actions between the police and the
gamblers was carefully rehearsed be
fore the gambler was killed. At least
twenty men, according to the informa
tion of the district attorney, had part ip
the preparations and helped stage the
tragedy.
With five men under arrest and
charged with complicity in the assassi
nation of Rosenthal and another held
sg a material witness, the long arm of
the police was stretched out over the
American continent today in an at
tempt to capture three other suspects.
Two of these men are believed to be in
Chicago and another In Canada. The
stage setting for the assassination in
cluded the original picking of the men
who were to kill eßosenthal, which is'
alleged to have started Sunday after
noon. July 14, the killing itself, the get
awav, the preparation of the street for
the escape, the watching of the victim
during the night and the Anal disposi
tion of the men who rode away in the
gray automobile. ,
Gambling House Headquarters.
For all of this work it is charged
that Louis (Bridgy) Webber’s gambling
house at Sixth avenue and Forty-sec
ond street was the final base of opera
tions, Webber himself, with Sam Paul,
leader of the East Side organization
bearing his name, are the last two men
to be placed tinder arrest on the charge
of having part in the crime. The men
now in custody are:
Louis Libby, owner of the automobile
used for the murder.
William Shapiro, partner and chauf
feur for Libby, who drove the car.
Jacob (Jack) Rose, a gambler, who
is charged with staging the murder and
collecting the men who committed it.
Louts (Bridgy) Webber, gambler, who
is charged with aiding the conspira
tors and whose gambling house at
Sixth avenue Forty-second street
is alleged to have been the meeting
place of the murder band.
Sam Paul, head of the Sam Paul as
sociation of the East Side gamblers-and
banded pirates.
Police Go-Between Held.
The man who was charged with hav
ing material knowledge of such impor
tance as to make it advisable to detain
him was Jacob A. Reich, better known
as Jack Sullivan, a handy man for Po
lice Lieutenant Charles A. Becker and
go-between for gamblers and others of
the under world who had business with
the police for which money had to be
.paid and favors granted. Reich, or Sul
livan, was with Lieutenant Becker up
to twenty minutes before the murder,
when he dropped into Webber’s place.
The police said today that the prison
ers would be arraigned before Coroner
Feinberg this afternoon. Deputy Po
lice Commissioner Dougherty an
nounced that two more arrests would
be made within a few hours.
The three men who are wanted to
throw light upon the murder are Sam
uel Schepps, “Whitey” Lewis and
‘Lefty" Loewy. Another man, known
only to the police as “Itzky,” could also
give them help, they say. When Com
missioner Dougherty was asked today
to ‘make a statement as to whether he
believed Lieutenant Becker was in
volved in the assassination he refused
to discuss that phase.
Lieutenant Becker Shifted.
At the direction of Commissioner
Waldo, Lieutenant Becker was today
relieved as head of squad No. 1, known
as “the strong-arm squad,” and as
signed to desk duty at the Bath Gate
avenue station in the Bronx.
This is the first police shake-up as a
result of Rosenthal’s deqth.
The illness of Mrs. Lillian Rosenthal,
widow of the murdered gambler, today
halted the proceedings of the grand
jury, it bad been the intention of Dls
t’lct Attorney Whitman to call Mrs.
Rosenthal as the first witness in the
inquiry concerning the murder. Her
intimate knowledge of the events that
preceded the killing and of the rela
iships that Rosenthal bore to the
r gamblers and the police is con
’d extremely important as a foun
'“'lion for the general case.
When Mr. Whitman found today that
“ « ould not be able to appear he said
Lit the grand jury would not take up
tne matter today.

PREJUDICE AGAINSTSEX FADES IF YOU
MAKE GOOD, SAYS WOMAN ARCHITECT
Intelligence and Hard Work
Brought My Success, Says
Miss Leila Wilburn.
Woman Architect's
Formula of Success
In Her Profession
These are the requirements
of a woman architect, and they
are rather unspecific at that.
She must have:
A fair intelligence.
A mathematical mind.
A willingness to work.
A perseverance that will sur
mount the obstacles that are
sure to appear in the beginning.
A pride in the fact that she
is doing creative work.
—Miss Leila Ross Wilburn.
Miss Leila Ross Wilburn, architect
by trade and philosopher by disposi
tion, says this in regard to earthly oc
cupations and activities:
“If you can persuade yourself
you are working at a high-minded, hon.
orable task, such as no native Hotten
tot might do, you should feel that you
have attained some measure of success,
regardless of the abundance or paucity
of the world’s goods that pour in.”
She does not say that byway of
apology for herself or her profession.
No, indeed—far from it—many Mara
thons from it. She merely lets that fall
as a sort of Emersonian side-remark
to encourage such young women who
might hesitate to b ome architects in
the belief that it didn’t pay enough to
run a yacht and buy Egyptian curtains
for the front room.
It does pay—this architecting busi
ness. It pays lots of men and it pays
Miss Wilburn. The point made by Miss
Wilburn is that should the shekels fail
at first to roll in with satisfactory
speed, the woman architect should con
tent herself with the thought that she
is considerable of a somebody and keep
plugging.
Believes in Herself.
Miss Wilburn has offices in the Pe
ters building and has been out for her
self several years She studied the sci
ence in off hours while a student at
Agnes Scott.
"I, of course, believe in myself and
in my profession,” said Miss Wilburn;
“and I believe that a fair intelligence
and hard work are the requirements
for success 1 see no reason, however,
why a young woman who is able to
understand the principles and applica
tions of mathematics can not be suc
cessful in many, if not in all, phases
of architectural work. I myself do little
superintending, but that is no reason
why a woman can not do it. It makes
a heavier physical demand; that’s all.
“The particular things I do any wom
an should be able to do. My work, for
the most part, consists of planning res.

COUNTS WITHOUT A JAIL,
KICKS ON BUILDING ONE
YOUNG HARRIS, GA., July 22.—The
award of a contract for the erection
of a jail for Towns county to cost SB,-
500, is causing dissatisfaction among
the taxpayers. In the past, the county
has had no jail, sending all prisoners
to the jail at Clarkesville and paying
board rather than build a prison.
The tax rate has been one dollar on
the hundred for both state and county,
and as the property value in the county
is small, it would necessitate raising
the tax rate, hence the dissatisfaction.

CITY CAMPAIGN TALK
STARTING AT CORDELE
CORDELE, GA., July 22.—Already a
number of prominent citizens are be

BATHER WHO CURSED
IS TAKEN TO JAIL IN
HIS SWIMMING GARB
J. R. Leathers, a railroad clerk liv
ing at 42 Spring street, early today was
taken to the police station handcuffed
and in a bathing suit. He had created
a stormy scene at Piedmont park,
cursing, frightening a number of wom
en bathers out of the lake, and at
tempting to drag Policeman J. R. Davis
into the water, The officer was forced
to strike Leathers with a club before
subduing him. Leathers is said to have
been drunk.
When Leathers appeared at the
beach, Policeman Davis noticed he was
intoxicated and advised him not to go
in bathing. Leathers, however, started
in the water and began to pour forth
profanity in such volume and strength
that it could be heard across the lake.
Women clapped their hands to their
ears and a grand scramble for the bank
ensued.
When Leathers came out of the wa
ter there was a mlx-up, and Davis had
to use his club to save himself from
being yanked Into the lake. When
Leathers was subdued, the officer hand
cuffed him and sent him to the sta
tion with the bathing suit as his only
attire.
Leathers will be tried this afternoon,

onel Roosevelt has begun work upon
the speech which he will deliver Au
gust 5 before the Progressive conven
tion in Chicago. In this speech he will
set forth his views on the campaign is
sues, one of the chief features being a
discussion of high cost of living prob
lem.
“The Democratic platform puts the
cause for the high cost of living upon
the tariff," said Roosevelt today. "I
doubt if the tariff is as much responsi
ble as the Democrats think. If all the
tariff were removed I am Inclined to
believe that the cost of living would
not be lowered 10 per cent. It is some
thing that has to be worked out. The
trusts unquestionably enter Into the
cost of living problem.
"The alm of the Progressives will be
to find some solution of this question
which is a vital one to every man in
the country.”
Comptroller Prendergast, of New
York, is billed to make the speech at
the third party convention putting Col
onel Roosevelt in nomination for the
presidency.
Judge Ben Lindsay, of Denver, a
Democrat, will second the nomination.
Lindsay Is also spoken of as the col

deep admiration for Lindsay, and his
selection as seconder of the nomination
has his approval. The colonel likes the
idea, too, of Lindsay being the vice
presidential nominee.

state officers as to how they will stand
in the national campaign this fall, the
governor said he would support the Re
publican ticket.
“It is plain,” he said, "that tlu*re Is
only one course I can pursue. Having
sought the support of Republicans and
having been chosen their candidate for
governor, no opportunity is afforded Re
publican electors to change their mind.
“If there are Republicans in Illinois
who can not support the national ticket,
it must be a strange situation indeed If
the}’ can not support men whose nomina
tion they do not question.
"I am legally the Republican nominee
for governor and am morally bound by
obligation to that position."
AH other candidates for state offices
gave the committee similar reply with
the exception of Lieutenant Governor
Oglesby, who has not yet given his an

CHARLESTON, W. VA„ July 22
That he will support Theodore Roose

it clear, however, he Is for the Republi

he can to elect the regular Republican

TO C UT COST OF LI VI NG
USE BOILED BEEF, CHEF
OF PIEDMONT ADVISES
Otto Rumjitt Is head che£ at the
Piedmont hotel, where the majority of
diners pay two dollars for a single
meal. Yet, Rumutt declares that he
can get up a meal for 25 cents that
will be just as varied, just as tasty
and just as nutritious as any meal that
any hotel can serve.
“Os course it would not be so fancy
a lunch,” said Otto, whose natural Ger
man talent for cooking food has been
garnished in Parisian hostelries, “and
there would not be yet so many silver
dishes nor damask cloth, but I would
bet that the beef in that 25-cent lunch
would be what you call more nutriment
than In the porterhouse steak of the
swell hotel. That is what the house
wife must know If she would reduce
the cost of her family living—how to
buy less expensive steaks and fancy
cuts and substitute plain boiled beef,
palate, beef brain and shin bones. She
can cut her meat bill more than half
that way and her family will be living
better, for there Is more nourishment
In boiled beef than in a porterhouse,
and when it is cooked well it tastes
better to me.
Here's a Sample Menu.
“Here I will show you one of my
menus that I would give in a 25-cent
lunch —and make a third clear profit
If I served only sixty meals a day:
Soup (any kind)
Fish and meat
Side dishes (three vegetables)
Salads.
Pudding Pie (any kind)
Coffee Tea
Rumutt ought to know what he is
talking about, for he has been a chef
abroad and In America for twenty
years, and a cook since he could flop
an egg. He learned his art in Paris
under the famous M. Laparruque at the
Vendome and the Bristol, and for years
before coming to Atlanta he helped
create famous dishes in New York’s
hotels, notably the Waldorf.
“It is the trouble with the many
American housewives that they think
nothing less costly than porterhouse;
steak is fit to be meat on their tables.
I tell them they can give their family
far better eating of boiled beef, the
shin bones, the jowels, the brain and
the palate at a reduction in cost that
would amount to many dollars in a
year.
“Myself I think that the shin bone
Is much the most valuable cut of the

Davis was badly beaten with a stick.
It required 40 stitches to sew up Henry
Hiefner’s wounda
ment in broths and soups than any
other thing in the world.”
Proof of Rumutt’s Theory.
To prove his contention about good
cheap cuts Rumutt indorsed a few
recipes, the use of which he says will
reduce the meat bill in any average
family by at least a third. These recipes
and many others appear in a little book
by M. Laparruque:
BOILED BEEF PALATE WITH
CABBAGE—Soak fresh palate over
night; wash well; cook in water for
two hours; skim and season well, add
cabbage and let cook for thirty minutes
more. Drain and serve after removing
white skin adhering to palate.
WITH PICKLE SAUCE—BoiI as
above with brown gravy and chopped
dill pickle and sprig parsley.
FRIED WITH ONIONS—Take cook
ed palate, sliced—slices one Inch size.
Roll In flour, fry in beef drippings, add
fine sliced onions, season to taste.
When a golden color drain fat, add a
little vinegar and serve hot.
Gives Many Recipes.
Directions for preparing many of ths
other cheaper cuts follow:
BEEF BRAINS BOILED WITH
SPINACH—Soak brains over night.
Skin well so all bloody parts are well
cleaned. Put to boil In cold water
with a little vinegar; add a couple of
bay leaves and pepper corn. Boil fif
teen minutes. Slice and serve with
plain boiled spinach.
BEET’ - ’ TONGUE WITH WHITE
BEANS —Put tongue to boil in cold wa
ter for two hours and a half with a
little salt and spices. Have the white
beans in water over night and cook
them with the tongue for three-quar
ters of an hour. Drain liquid and
serve.
BEEF CHEEKS WITH HORSE
RADISH—Soak the cheeks over night
as for palate; proceed same way, add
ing vegetables. When well done after
one hour’s boiling, pour over them
some horseradish mixed with a littls
cream sauce and serve with toasted
bread.
CHUCK STEAK WITH PARSLEY
BUTTER —Chuck steak is a good deal
cheaper than the more aristocratic por
terhouse steak, but when well prepared
It is a great deal more beneficial from
a nutrient standpoint.
Take frying skillet the size of steak
if possible, as steak must lie perfectly
flat when cooking. Always use drip
pings of beef or pork or lard to fry
steak and have them very hot. Put
steak in skillet on hot fire; let fry for
four minutes without turning, sprinkla
with salt and pepper and then turn.
WOMAN, POSSESSING
MAGNETIC POWERS,
FACES LUNACY TRIAL
MACON, GA., July 22.—Mrs. Dixie
Jarrett Haygood, famed for her power
of magnetism and strength, is on trial
before a jury of twelve men today on
the charge of lunacy which was pre
ferred by' Fred Hamp Haygood, who
says he is her son. She denies that
he is her son. and says that she only
adopted him.
Mrs. Haygood came into court styl
ishly clad and wearing diamonds worth
thousands of dollars. Mrs. Haygood
claims that the reason Fred Haygood
swore out the lunacy warrant was be
cause she made a will recently’ and ex
cluded him. She is quite wealthy.
Haygood says he resorted to the ac
tion because he thinks her repudiation
of him as her son is an evidence of in
sanity.
More than 50 witnesses have been
summoned, and the trial will last
throughout the day. The question
whether Haygood is a natural or adopt
ed son has developed to be a greater
issue than Mrs. Haygood’s sanity.
