| GRAFTING
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. —Bankers of
New York and New Jersey cities will
be called to testify before the grand
jury in the investigation of tlie police
graft system in connection with the as
sassination of Herman Rosenthstl. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman will attempt to
secure from them proof that Lieutenant
Becker and high officials made deposits
in their banks under assumed names.
The police department was given a
shock today when it became known
that information in the possession of
the district attorney shows that gam
bling houses in a certain section of the
city have been paying one police in
spector SSOO each to let them stay open
Investigators working for the district
attorney have learned that seventy-five
gambling houses and sixty-five other
resorts paid this to one inspector. The
tribute handed over by the resorts was
S4OO a month each.
This inspector and another one are
said to have more than SIOO,OOO in cash
deposited in banks.
Becker Deposited
Under Various Names.
Overshadowing Rosenthal's murder,
interest sticks to the relentless in
vestigation that is showing big sums of
money salted down by Lieutenant
Becker and other police officers. In
addition to $3,000 discovered to have
bet n deposited by Becker in the West
Side saving bank District Attorney
Whitman has been informed:
That the "J. G. Cullom.” who depos
it. d $3.01)0 in a Newark, N. J., bank last
Juir was Becker,
Thai the ”H. <'. Kennedy,” who put
53.000 in an Elizabeth, N. J., bank aboui
the same 'time, was Becker.
That in at least four Manhattan
banks there are deposits of $3,000 put
there by Becker.
That he is going to find in the pe
riod when “Bald Jack" Rose said the
pickings were good at least $21,000
was put away by Becker, and perhaps
total accumulations of SIOO,OOO.

intimation given out from the sher
iff's office that that organization, with
the aid of the county police, would take
the question of Atlanta's Sunday or
der in its own hands and tomorrow pa
trol the streets to arrest drunken men
overlooked by the city police, brought
forth a strenuous answer from Chief
Beavers of the police department, when
informed of the tentative plan, and a
subsequent denial from the sheriff that
any such plan was contemplated.
Atlanta's chief peace guardian de
clared that his force was perfectly able
to maintain sobriety on the streets
Sunday or any other day. and denied
fervidly that there had ever been com
plaint from the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company t it policemen had
a practice of placing drunken men on
street ears instead of arresting them.
His statement was confirmed by
Sheriff Mangum, who insisted that he
had never entertained a plan to inter
fere in the chief’s business.

In Henry Brown, a negro who this
morning confessed to killing Eva
Green in Pittsburg la .t November, the
Atlanta detective department again be
lieves it has captured the man respon
sible for the majority of tlie “Jack-the-
Ripper” crimes last year.
Brown is 35 years old. He was cap
tured in West End last Monday, but
maintained his innocence until this
morning, when the overwhelming evi
dence forced a confession. Detectives
Coker and Hanby, who made the arrest,
believe that the other "ripper” crimes
can be traced to him.
Brown will be bound over tljis after
noon by Recorder Broyles.
Half dozen Saturday nights in suc
cession last year a negro woman was
found murdered by the police. Thi
death usually was a slit across the
throat Crimes of this nature contin
ued into the winter. The number of
negro women victims was more than
fifteen.
Peculiar circumstances marked tlie
murder of each of the women and led
the police to believe that a’l or most
of tie crimes were committed b.\ the
same person. The victim was always
slashed with a knife, in each instance
her shoes were removed and taken
away from the scene of the tragedy,
and in several vases money was left
in the woman's purse, showing that
robbery was not tlie object. Tlie police
were led to believe that a maniac, his
mind obsessed with a passion for crime,
had done the work. They followed
many clews, and made several arrests,
but were never convinced that they had
captured the mysterious "Black Jack
the Ripper."

GULLS HAMMER BOTH
BECKER AND WALDORF
PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK. Aug
10.—The Gulls beat the Crackers here to
day in the last game of the series.
The Gulls began to look murderous in
the opening inning. After Maloney had
singled and St rar had doubled, Al O’Dell
pushed out a single which scored them
both. O’Dell has shoved over by far a
majority of the Gulls’ runs during this
series.
In the third inning, a hit, a stolen base
and another hit scored another run for
the Gulls.
Waldorf was ejected from the game in
the fifth inning for protesting some of
Umpire Stockdale’s decisions. Wolfe, just
recalled from Albany, was sent to bat, hut
produced nothing but a pop-up to the box.
Becker went in the box for the Crackers
in the sixth, and the Gulls pounced on
him at once, hammering out four hits,
and, being aided by a wild heave, a pass
or two, and a low throw, they garnered ,
five runs—and the game: if they hadn’t i
already garnered it.
Because of the fact that both teams
were due for an early getaway, the
game got under way nearly an hour ear
lier than usual, and was scheduled to
close on even innings arounds 4:40.
