GAMBLING GRAFT TALE WRITTEN GV ROSE Document Accusing Policeman Becker in New York Scandal Contains 10.000 Words. NEW YORK. Aug. 7.—With Detec tive William J. Burns and his corps of sleuths working to substantiate the charges in the 10,000-word alleged ex pose of Lieutenant Charles A. Becker's complicity in the murder of Herman Rosenthal and general graft alliance with the underworld, completed by "Jack” Rose last night, preparations were made today to arraign the ac cused lieutenant for the third time on the charge of procuring the murder of the grambier. Former Assistant District Attorney J. F. Mclntyre, perhaps the most ex perienced criminal lawyer in New York, today entered into the case as counsel for Becker and after an early confer ence with the latter in the Tombs started his machinery in motion in an endeavor to riddle Rose s charges. It was stated that Detective Burns ‘ some time ago opened ? gambling house here with the intention of trapping a high politician who was suspected of sharing in the tribute levied upon the underworld. Burns, who arrived in this city yesterday from Baltimore, de nied the story, as also did District At torney Whitman. Mr. Whitman said that Burns had been working on the Rosenthal case under his guidance and that he had full knowledge of Burns' movements. "These positively did not include the II operation of a gambling house, the district attorney declared. Rose’s Confession Detailed. Rose handed his confession to Mr. ~ Whitman last night just as the latter was leaving the West Side court pris on, where Rose is confined. It is writ ten in ink and covers 88 pages of fools cap paper. Parts of it are at variance with the earlier statements made by the gambler, but Rose declares that the statement is the absolute truth and any different statements made earlier by him were Inaccurate. ' Rose tells in detail of the method he alleges Becker adopted In getting evi dence against gambling houses, the keepers of which had refused to pay protection money to his agents. He tells how these recalcitrants were ** brought to terms speedily and of the amount of money he collected monthly. More important than anything else he furnished to District Attorney Whitman the names and addresses of , twelve gambling house proprietors from whom he alleges he collected sums ranging fro SSOO to $2,000 a month, all of which, he says, he turned over to I - Becker. Money Paid at Becker’s Home. These exchanges of money. Rose al leges, were made in Becker's home at West llbth street, In the presence of his wife, and frequently in the presence of servants. The names of several of the servants are included in Rose’s statement. But Rose’s statement is not confined exclusively to his relations with Becker as the latter’s alleged collector. The final six pages of the confession are '•■ devoted to a detailed account of his movements on the night that Herman Rosenthal was shot to death in front of the Metropole hotel.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Big Business traditionally—and probably also actually —has never failed to elect its favorite candidate for the presidency. Hence the question is continually asked: ’’Which does Wall Street want—Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt ?” On first hand knowledge this statement ean be made: For the first timp in a generation “Wall Street" is at sixes and sevens re garding a choice for the office. The four leading financial houses are: J. P. Morgan & Co. Speyer & Co. Kuhn. Loeb & Co. National City Bank. Now, I can state as an absolute fact that in each one of these great money organizations the partners or dominating officers differ in their choice for presi dent. Morgan Frankly Disgusted. Mr. Morgan has not publicly revealed his preference. There -are reasons why he should feel friendly toward ex-Presi dent Roosevelt, but he is frankly disgust ed with the present situation. Mr. Mor gan’s feelings toward Roosevelt are mixed. When he returned from Europe in 1904 he was in doubt as to whether he should throw in his allegiance with Roosevelt or Parker. Mr. Morgan felt chagrined over the government’s action in instituting proceedings to dissolve the Northern Se curities company without as much as having given a hint to the bankers that suit was to be filed. Mr. Morgan argued that, after all that he had done for the development of the Northwest, particularly by financing James J. Hill's Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads, Washington should not have treated him so inconsid erately. The humiliation of first learn ing of the legal action from the news papers was more than the veteran bank er could stand with equanimity. But for the fact that he was an ardent. "Incor rigible” Republican, Mr. Morgan prob ably would have aided the Democratic aspirant in spite of the protests of his junior partners. Just what the line-up in J. P. Mor gan & Co.’s is today has not been di vulged, but that all the members do not PERSIAN REBELLION INCITED BY EX-SHAH; 20 GENDARMES SLAIN SHIRAZ, PERSIA, Aug. 7.—Smolder ing revolution against the Persian gov ernment. fostered by the ex-shah, Sa lar Ed Doleh, is assuming a dangerous aspect, and fighting is going on. A force of 200 Persian gendarmes, accom panied by two Swedish officers, and supported by a mountain gun, has been defeated ten miles from this city and is in retreat. The troops had been sent to dis lodge a force of the ex-shah’s rebels. The rebels stood their ground and gave battle. Twenty gendarmes and an of ftcet were killed and the balance were compelled to draw off, leaving their mountain gun in the hands of the in surgents. It is charged Russia is giving finan cial backing to the revolutionists in or der to harass the Persian government. MORGAN COUNTY TAX LIST SHOWS NEARLY 200 AUTOS MADISON. GA., Aug 7.—Tax Receiver R. H. Prior has completed the compilation of the returns for 1912 for Morgan county and announces that there is a gain of $1,300 over 1911, despite the fact that this county suffered a loss of SIOO,OOO in this year's showing by the burning of the Madison Oil Company plant last fall. The digest also shows that this county is plentifully supplied with automobiles, there being nearly 200 cars returned for tax. $6.00 TO WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH AND RETURN, Good six days, Saturday, August 10.

James Speyer was at one time a staunch supporter of Mr. Roosevelt, but later Mr. Speyer’s sympathies went to President Taft. Now’ Mr. Speyer has a high regard for the abilities and princi ples of Woodrow Wilson. But Roosevelt is not by any means friendless in the Speyer firm at this moment. He is looked upon by one or two members as the only man capable of leading the American people through the mire of discontent and depression to the high land of peace and lasting prosperity. The head of Kuhn. Loeb & Co., Jacob H. Schiff, is an avowed ally of President Taft, yet at least one partner has trans ferred for his loyalty to Mr. Roosevelt on much the same ground as that just men tioned. National City Is Split. In the National City bank the president and vice presidents are as a house di vided against itself. Roosevelt is ana thema to certain very high officers and Taft is regarded as a fiat failure. Wil son is cordially indorsed by two or three officers, but not by all. ♦ Commenting upon this most unusual state of affairs, a banker possessing full knowledge of the "inside" political sen timents of the various houses here dealt with said to me: "The division of views is a healthy sign. It shows that both candidates are looked upon as acceptable, that one does not embody all the political virtues. Roosevelt is not reckoned as a serious factor—l mean that his chances of success, despite bis popu larity in certain Western states, are not thought to be at all feasible. He Is likely, however, to draw a good many votes away from President Taft, with the consequence that Wilson’s prospects are quite bright.” Before September high finance may en deavor to "get together” and act in con cert. Wilson's utterances are awaited with extraordinary interest. If he enun ciates no ultra-radical, anti-capital senti ments he probably will win widespread support from men of large affairs down town who normally vote under the Re publican emblem. JAKE GOLDSTEIN IS HELD FOR ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KILL Jake Goldstein, the proprietor of the Albian hotel, today was bound over to the grand jury under a SSOO bond for assault with Intent to slay Jonas Nash. Goldstein made the bond. The shooting which resulted in Gold stein’s arrest occurred a week ago last Monday. Nash, so Goldstein said in court, used abusive language over the hotel telephone, and struck Goldstein’s boy with his fists. Goldstein then fired at Nash and the bullet struck in the hip. Though Nash had been in the hos pital, he was able to appear in court. Wholesalers, Remember Goods well displayed are half sold. We make sample cases and trunks to fit your individual needs. LIEBERMAN’S The House of Guaranteed Baggage 92 Whitehall WDMANISGENTER' IN SINGING GOW Contest Winner "Outlawed” by Convention When It Goes to Court for Prize. The Capitol View singing class, which was awarded the priae at a re cent contest of the Atlanta Union con vention of singing classes, and which has taken out a possessory warrant in Justice Ridley's court, has been “steam rollered" out of the convention. It finds itself in the position of nut hav ing tile banner, nor even having a chance to win it in another contest. The entire fight hinges about a wom an. Mrs. P. H. Jackson, 256 Lee street, West End. She was one of the judges in the contest and the seven losing classes have filed a claim with the con vention that she made and sealed her decision before the classes finished their songs and that she never even listened to the efforts. Temple Baptist ciass has a strong kick coming because Mrs. Jackson awarded them only five points, out of a possible twenty, on their selection of "The Heavens Are Telling,” from Haydn's "Creation.” The fateful contest was held July 12 at Temple Baptist church and the con testants were to be judged on selec tion. harmony, time, articulation and expression. The other two judges were Mrs. George Nealy, of 187 East Fair street, and L. Comes, an out-of-town man. Their award of the beautiful satin banner to Capitol View class caused a protest from the other seven contestants, who registered a kick be fore the convention. The decision was held up and after several warm sessions Sunday the con vention declared "no contest” and or dered the banner returned to the for mer holders of it, the Ponders avenue class. Then when the Capitol View crowd refused to abide by this decision a vote was taken and they found them selves „no longer members of the con vention. They at once took out a possessory warrant in the justice court and will make a fight to get what they claim was awarded them. The losing classes are Happy Unity, North Atlanta, Ponders avenue. Lake wood Heights, Rehobeth, Temple Bap tist and Gordon street. The gorgeous banner, which never has been fully paid for, is gathering dust and losing its beauty in a bailiff's office.

Puller, 35 White Oak avenue, who was knocked down by a street ear Monday morning, has not recovered consciousness and his physi cians fear lie will die. The boy. who is the grandson of A. P. Morgan, the grain merchant, was com ing to town on his bicycle. He col lided with a street car on the East Point road in Oakland City. He was picked up and rushed to the Atlanta hospital, where physicians said that his skull was not fractured. His wounds are on his head, and consist of a long cut extending from his right eye across the top of his head, and of sev eral bruises and contusions from where he hit the chert pavement. Since the injury every effort has been made to bring the child out of his stu por. and once or twice he has been able for a moment to recognize his mother, but these intervals have been followed by relapses. s *‘ f e A German Silver Mesh Bags Bags / jL\ At $2.98 25 only, finest Ger man Silver Mesh Bags chased frames, ex act Co P* es $ 2 5 an d $35 Sterling Silver Bags.

It was found impossible yesterday to get a delegation to go to Atlanta, but a strong memorial, setting out clearly the views of the general committee on commission form of government, wal mailed to Representative J. Randolph Anderson. No three members of the committee would agree to go to Atlan ta at this time. The committee wants the legislators from Chatham to use their efforts to have the bill passed or explain their reasons for not doing so. The com mittee thinks that because the legisla tors are opposed to the commission form of government is no reason why the people of Savannah should not be given an opportunity to vote on it. 5
