Admission Fees Will More Than
Pay Expense of Exposition.
Birminghamers Welcomed.
■—~
With the knowledge that the "Made-I
In>-Atlanta" exposition has paid its own i
way and they won't have to go down iij i
their individual pockets to make up a |
shortage, the stockholders today pre-I
pared to receive the crowds of late- !
comers. From the way the morning
visitors came in it was evident the '
next two days would bring a handsome j
profit to the treasury.
J K. Orr, the newly elected presi-i
dent of the Southern Merchants asso- I
• elation, made the announcement in ad
dressing a delegation of Birmingham
visitors, that the exposition had taken
in enough dimes at the door to pay all
of its expenses through the close to-|
morrow night. The surplus probably i
will be used as the nucleus of a fund
for financing next year's show, for the
_ exposition is to bi an annual affair.
The total attendance for the ten days
of the exhibit will reach about 50,000
persons.
The Birmingham business men who
came over to see how Atlanta does
things found a real Atlanta welconti.
They wire taken over the exposition'
by a reception committee, given i
luncheon at the Capital City ciub, mo
tored around town and out to East
Lake and told everything they desired '
to know . The party included John W. |
Sibley, president of the Chamber of |
Commerce, and 25 of the most public
spirited citizens of the .Alabama m -
tropoiis.

NEW YORK. Aug. 9. You van have
your enemy killed for $lO. if you hire
a New York gunman. That’s the low
est price, and it ranges up to SSOO. in
the s< licdule of crime brought out since
the Ros nth.il inurdet has turned the
searchlight on tin "Apaches of New
York.” The system by which police
officers and the gangmen curry out
their work, the remuneration and pro
tection. the plotting and execution have
all been shown. No dime novel author
would have dared to weave sucii i plot
and expect even youthful readers to be
lieve it.
There are many gangs on the East
Side, sometimes enemies, sometimes
working for a common end; but they
live by crime and their livelihood is
made possible by the protection given
them by the police. They pay the debt
by crooked politics, repeating in elec
tions. frightening away honest voters,
swinging precincts for ward leaders.
The system has strange ramifica
tions. A clew found in the crookedest
alley of the East Side, if followed
through blind twists and turns, will
lead uji to a man high in the counsels
of the police department.
Policemen and Gangs.
How the gunmen of New York have
become a powerful adjunct of the gam
blers who are in league with the police
system was revealed by the Rosenthal
murder. How some of the policemen
w hom Commissioner Waldo is daily de
fending in statements have not only
developed the gunmen, but assisted in
organizing them into murderous bands,
is a story that will amaze the reader.
The Rosenthal murder has shown
that, nothing is too small and no crime
too great to stand in the way of the
"system." Murder is ordered, or
bought and paid for,las any commod
ity, whenever It is necessary, and the
murderers are taken care of by certain
corrupt political leaders and police of
ficials in the district until they are
needed again. To the credit of the
politicians and the police it must be
said that the number who would con
done a murder is very small.
A fair estimate of the union rates
charged bj the gunmen of New York
for executing the orders of their em
ployers follows:
Slash on the cheek (as a favor), up
to $lO
Shot in the leg $1 to $25
Shot in the arm $5 to $35
Throwing a bomb $5 to SSO
Murder $lO to SSOO

, profession, and it is known that in at
least one ease a gunman killed a man
in cold blobd on the upper East Side for
as little as $lO, and that others have
received as high as SSOO and SI,OOO for
superintending the slaying, with a cor
responding amount for others that as
l sisted.
Gangs Used to Win Elections.
: Evert election brings out the power
'of the "system." A leader finds that
Ihe is in danger of losing his district
• (through the vigorous campaign of hi-
• | rival. He and his henchmen then go
to the gunmen or repeaters, give the
• I word and the man is elected, even if
murder is committed. The repeaters
are unmolested because word has come
though the police captains that the
' bands helped the leader, and they know
that before long tribute and political
favors will be forthcoming.
One of the most powerful bands of
murderous hoodlums who work like
• j wolves—-bravely when in large num-
ibi rs—is the nondescript following
• •lied the Gophers Tle ir bailiwii k
stretches all along the western side
of the cijy from Greenwich village to
Fifty-ninth street. They number in
all about 300 men. ranging in age from
Ifi to 40, and large is the list of crimes
they have committed. Murder is no
snore than a pastime, and felonious as
saults, robberies and destruction of
I business when it will benefit some one
in tile band are mere incidentals to
their existence.
They will murder for money and
’ trust to their influence with the poli
ticians to "square" the whole thing
■ I through the "system." They will mur
' derously assault any man who crosses
i their path at a tangent to their own
smooth way of doing business. Several
of the most at 'oeiou- murders eve
i committed in this city are charged to
, them, and yet the guilty men walk
away, brush the dirt off their clothes
i and get ready for the next event. M.my
■ of their members are policemen.
Don't* Look Like Bad Men.
One of the best and most forcible il
lustrations of how the gunmen have
■ worked into the good graces of the ]>n
i -flee within the last two years is given
every day in Seventh avenue, when
the Paul Kelly band make their head
. quarters. A more thriving, more pros
perous looking set of men of their call
ing could not be found anywhere in th
city, and any day, every day. afternoon
or night, several of them may be seen
standing in front of their "club house,"
which is almost as pretentious as that
of the Sam Paul association.
i 1 They do not look like the murderous
i type one might expect, but in well
, made clothes, clean shaven faces and
good shoes they could pass easily for
i persons living at the high-class hotels
i near by Their members come and go
. as they please, revolvers or no re-
t volvers, except at odd timers when the
i police make a “raid" on the club. The
r raid is the usual fruitless one, with au
• occasional arrest and a fine or dis
r charge of all the prisoners on account
• of insufficient evidence.
Harry Horowitz, called "Gyp the
Blood.” who is wanted as a participant
in the Rosenthal murder, is the leader
r of a band of young outlaws who have
t terrorized Harlem in the neighborhood
t of Lenox avenue and 116th street for
many years. They have openly defled
the honest policemen, insulted women
' and young girls with impunity, at
tacked aged men and robbed them, sal-
• lied downtown into the homes of un
s protected women and robbed them, shot
up gambling rooms and kept the whole
■ neighborhood in a turmoil. They have
‘ bullied anil browbeaten the policeman
' honestly trying to do his duty by
threatening to write to ('oniniissloner
' Waldo and complain or “frame up"
charges against the patrolman that will
make trouble.
Horowitz Outlaw Leader.
<
, Horowitz himself is a tail, lanky,
, yellow-faced youth, with a stoop and a
, cringing way that certainly would not
1 mark him as avers bad man w here real
men figure. In spite of all his bravado,
, he has gone to the captain of the dis
trict crying like a baby because he
f feared the police suspected him of a
, crime. And when a particularly atro
. clous crime did point to him he found
influence to reach the "system" and he
I was not punished.
He was born in 115th street and
, reared in the district where his gun
men make their headquarters. He re
cruitd his bandits from the neighbor
j hood and from every other section of
i the city that would turn out possible
good nun for business. He aggrievi d
, many a Hariem family by drawing Into
£ his element a young son who had
j given promise of amounting to some
thing.
The temper of the gunmen and their
fear of their fellow gangsters was
never more strikingly shown than when
> William Shapiro. dri\er of the noted
gi f automobile used by the slayers of
i Herman Rosenthal, was brought into
<'oroner Feinberg's court and put unth
a file of in oil -s questioning in t:i
presence of "W.iitey" Lewis and Eran
('irocci, two of the men under suspi

i feared—not the blue coaled men who

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.—Under the ex
i pert dirt - tinn of the flower of the gen
i oral si.ut of the United States army,
| nearly JO.OOo troops has iust begun *o
■ demonstrate the possibilities of an
Lirmy 4> sc'-ndlng upon N<-w York with
i 'ls millions upon millions of treasure.
| ’is art, wealth and more spoils of war
•than any commander in history ovei
dreamed would exist Tyvo opposing
I armies, the Red and the Blue, will take
.part in the tactical problem, in which
| the main question is:
| "Are the great vaults and treasure
| palaces of New York, its great shlp
j ping kes and its use as a base of op
! orations safe from a foreign foe?"
The actual movement of the troops
began yesterday, when national guard
] regiments from the New England states
s’arted to take positions along the
Housatonic river in eastern Connecti
cut.
The actual fighting begins tomorrow.
The official title of the games being
played is the Connecticut maneuver
I campaign.
General Bliss in Command,
Its chief point is Bridgeport, and
General Tasker H. Bliss, commanding
tlie Department of the East, is direct
ing the play. The game has two pe
riods. The first is devoted to instruc
tion; the second to the actual attack
and defense upon New York.
General Albert L. Mills, formerly su
perintendent of West Point, is to com
mand the army that seeks to ravage
New York. General Frederick A. Smith,
from the Department of the Missouri,
is to see that General Mills doesn't suc
ceed.
In the battle array, 25 miles long,
with aeroplanes humming over the
troops, elevated guns theoretically tear
ing the wings to bits, and wireless
flashes telling the commanders tvhat
| the enemy is doing, will be all the pomp
Lind circumstances of war yvitnessed.
Wireless telephones, telegraph wires
i and flags will be worked for communi-
I cation, with the heliograph, the scien
tific evolution of the Apache Indians'
mirror, filling in the gaps.
Two hundred regular officers are de
tailed to watch the game and Instruct
the troops.
Operating in Big Triangle.
The scene of the operations will be
generally confined to a truncated trian
gle, yvhose lower apex is cut off by a
twelve-mlle line stretching between
Stratford and New Haven. The base
of the triangle, about 30 miles long,
reaches from Waterbury, where the
right wing ot the advancing Red di
vision will be flung, to Danbury, which
will he the western mobilization point
of the Blue defenders.
Another side of this triangle
sretches some twenty miles flom Strat
ford to Danbury. This theater of wUr.
comprising roughly 450 square miles, is
pronounced by army experts to be ex
cellently adapted to war maneuvers. It
includes a great variety of rolling
ground, interspersed with abrupt hills
and valleys. Several rivers and their
tributaries also add to the complica
tions of the transport problem.
Eorty-ninth street and Third avenue
l after the shooting and that they left
your car there. Weren't you lying?
Didn't you take those men uptown?”
"Yes," said Shapiro, glancing nerv
ously about. "Whitey" Lewis and "Da.
go Erank" Cirocci were in the room and
looking at him. “Whitey” was boring
into Shapiro’s soul with his llttlb sharp
eyes, "Dago Erank” was watching the
chauffeur from under drooping eyelids.
Both hung on his answer.
“Is that one of the men you drove
from the Metropole after the murder?"
the attorney asked, pointing to “Dago
I l-'rank." S.iapiro let his eyes rest upon
I his fellow prisoner for only a second.
He put his hand to his face and shook
his head.
"No, I didn't see them good." he re
plif d.
"Is that one of the men you drove
that night?" asked Mr. Whitman, point
ing to "Whitey” Lewis. Shapiro seem
ed struck with a spasm of fear.
"1 didn't see 'em Honest, Mr Whit
man, I didn’t see 'em good." was the
terrified response.
