ELMS HIDE IN ‘
lOOMISHT
Youthful Pair. Failing to Get
License Sunday. Found at
Night by Police.
Awaiting today’s sunlight and an of
ficial who might marry them, a fifteen
year-old swain his lady love, one
year his junior, played babes in the
woods last night, but the hard-hearted
county police found them in their syl
van retreat hiding from the ire of ob
jecting parents, and sent them home.
When the youthful wooer called today
to claim his bride he found that her
mother had placed many miles of un
romantic railroad track between their
happiness.
Six weeks ago pretty Vera Glozier
came to Atlanta from Natchez," Miss.,
to visit a married sister at 161 Crew
street. With her came her mother.
Henry Thrasher was an errand boy
for L. W. Rogers, a grocer of 236 Capi
xtol avenue. Each day he delivered
goods to the Crew street home. After
he had looked into the eyes of the Mis
sissippi miss for the first time he ran
his errands to this particular house
with quickened step.
Plan to Elope on Sunday Fails.
Then began an ardent courtship, eve*
if the suitor had to be received at the
back door instead of the parlor. The
suit prospered. Vera Glozier began to
believe that all masculine worth was
wrapped up in Henry Thrasher.
The pair realized, however, that their
youthfulness probably would cause ob
jection to their marriage, but they
were unwilling to wait through a weary
waste of time until passing years in
creased their ag e and gave them op
portunity to malto life worth living.
I hey planned an elopement. Sunday
was the day set, .and yesterday they
fared forth to seek a license. They I
did', ; know thht public officials do not
work on Sunday and the ordinary's of
fice was closed. They were grievously
disappointed when this situation con
fronted them.
Still they were determined They
decided to wait until today, but feared
that their return home would cause a
collapse of their plan. They decided to
stay out all night.
Found on Banks of River.
It seemed ideally romantic to await
the day watching the swirling progress
of water to the great sea. They board
ed a car and were soon studying the
beauties of nature from the banks of
the Chattahoochee.
There county policemen found them.
Tiie constabulary could see no just rea
son why persons of such tender years
should be camped on a river bank with
nothing to protect them from the night
air but the canopy of heaven
They ordered the lovers to get back
to Atlanta. They obeyed, but planned
to meet early today, and then once
more seek matrimony.
Rut when the Glozier girl got back
site could give no adequate account of
where she had been spending the nay
and evening. The mother grew suspi
cious.
Mother Takes Girl Back Home.
The first train for Natchez. Miss.,
leaves Atlanta at 5 o’clock in the morn
ing. W hen it left I today it carried
Veta. Glozier and her mother on its
passenger list.
Henry Thrasher raged and tore his
hair in true lover fashion when be
found that for a while at least he will
have to bear up under single blessed
ness. He even consulted the police.
Under their advice, there was a fa
mi ia- face at the grocery again today,
but his feet were leaden as he delivered
his packages. He carried none to 161
Crew street.

TIFT FOR TEST
OF DIAL BILL
Confers With Cabinet Over Free
Tolls—May Send It to the
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.—President
Taft and his cabinet yesterday discuss
ed the Panama canal bill, and the
question of a possible presidential veto
of the measure. Every member of Mr.
Taft's official family who was in town
was present, and the discussion lasted
for an hour after luncheon time, but
no decision was reached. The presi
dent’s inclination, it was said today, is
to approve the bill, but he is anxious
to have provisions made for a legal
test of the matter of free tolls for
American ships The cabinet was un
derstood to agree with him that there
is basis for believing that the bill with
the free tolls clause in it. is not In
conformity with the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
When the conference was over the
president was still of the opinion that
the best way to test the bill's agree
ment with hie treaty was to have the
United States supreme court pass upon
it. He will confer with senate and
house leaders in the next few days, and
will devote most of his own time to
pondering over this one bill. Most of
the Republican leaders in both houses,
and probably some of the leading Dem
ocrats will be called into consultation,
and the bill will be gone over with care.

"Jack" Rose's confession of the killing
of Herman Rbsenthal as lie wrote it
for District Attorney Whitman:
"About the time Jack Zelig was ar
rested on a charge of carrying con
cealed weapons some of Zelig's friends
told me there were some nasty rumors
associating my name in the jobbing of
Zelig. I became alarmed and called
Becker. He told me it was a fact that
Zelig had been framed.
"1 explained to him what danger it
meant to me. ’Well,' he said, 'find out
Zelig's friends and tell them if they
want to save Zelig and themselves that
Rosenthal is the man that is stil ting up
all the trouble in New York and I want
him murdered—shot, his throat cut. any
way that will take him off the earth.’
Promised Immunity.
"He went fui titer. He said if any
body wiil murder Rosenthal nothing can
happen to him: lie will take care of
that. And if these men down town
don't accept the job tell them that not
one of them will be left on my round
ups. I will find where they hang out
and I w ill frame every one of them up
and send them up the river tor carry
ing concealed weapons.
"Now. he said it is one tiling or the
other. Rosenthal to be croaked or the
fellows down town to be framed.
“First 1 met Harry Vallon and Bridie
Webber I told them of it all and they
agreed. It was a serious matter, so we
located two of Zelig's friends. 'Lefty'
Louie and Whitey. We warned them
of Becker's threat to frame everybody.
"The next day Zelig was released on
bonds and I met him. I told him it
was only the beginning of a long cam
paign of framing by Becker and his
men unless Rosenthal was murdered.
Zelig wouldn't have anything to do
witli it.
"I received a message on Monday
nigjyt from Becker. He said If the
would only get croaked tonight
how happy’ he would be.
i "1 walked around to the Sam Paul
t i luli where I met Jack Sullivan and
I talked witli him. i telephoned for an
automobile and Sullivan asked me to
take him to Madison, Sq. Garden to the
fights where he had an appointment
with Becker which 1 did I left Sullivan
at tile Garden and went to Gilbert's
house.
"I took the entire party including
Sehepps, I’lltt and Yallon to 14th St.
where a tire blew out. I suggested to
Sehepps to telephone to the Boulevard
for another machine- which lie did the
Gray ear with Shapiro arrived.
"I asked Sehepps and Vallon to ac
company me up town. We stopped at
Webbers when quite a crowd was gath
ered at the door we all went upstairs
and sat around a table ordering some
thing to eat and drink some one came
in and reported Rosenthal was at the
Metropole everybody started out of the
place.
The Murder Reported.
"I remained behind and insisted that
Shepps remain with me which he did
after a while Shepps went out. I walt
j e 'd around when soon one came in witli
the Report that Rosenthal had been
murdered.
"Webber suggested f telephone Beck
er. I spoke to Becker. I asked him if
he heard the news he said yes some
newspaper man telephoned him I said
My God Charlie this is awful. Ho said
now don’t worry no harm will come to
any one. he said where are you I said
at. Webbers he said I will he downtown
right away.
I went back and told Webber and we
waited a long while he came along all
smiles and we walked down to a door
way & started to talk Jack Sullivan
was there and walked down with us
as wo got ill the door way a man came
along whom we knew and Jack Sulli
van didnt want him to see Becker to
left Becker Webber and me there while
he went away to talk to this man.
"I opened the conversation by saying
‘My God Charlie this is Horrible.' There
will he Hell to play, he said what is
the matter dont worry leave all that
to me I asked have you seen him and
he said yes I saw the squealing Bas
tard I would of liked to taken my knife
out and cut a piece of his tongue out
and hang it up as a warning to possible
future squealers, he said well I was
saved the trouble doing It myself he
said I became tired waiting for you
fellows to get the gang to do it so de
cided tonight to do it myself.
Money For “Those Fellows.”
"I asked liim how, well he said after
1 left Jack Sullivan I Instructed otto to
drive by the Metropole and to slow
down without stopping I intended if
Rosenthal was there to take out rpy
Gun blaze away at him and then tell
Otto to keep going but ho wasn't there.
"1 said well what about these fellows
he said I will take, good car** of every
body concerned to Webber he said see
that these fellows get enough money to
get out of town say about a Thousand
Dollars between them which Webber
said he would which makes, fifteen
Hundred from Webber.
"1 went home to one Hundred and
Tenth street 111 in mind and body. I
remained at the house until I received
a message from Shepps saying tlie peo
ple were waiting for tne at the Garden
Restaurant. 1 refused to come down.
Sehepps said Webber had money to
give me to give to those fellows for
Hecker. I told Sehepps to get it and
meet tne at Fiftieth street and Eighth
avenue. When I met him and Webber,
and two of the men who were in Web
ber's the night previous. Webber hand
ed me some money. He said it was a
thousand dollars. I handed it to these
fellows and told them Becker said to
lay low for a while and everything
would be O. K.
"I left them accompanied bv Sehepps.
went to Polocks house where I col
lapsed. I was put to bed and asked
Sehepps to go out and get word to
Becker wh**r< I am and to hav* him
call me up, which he did. He laughed
and Joked and s'aid don’t worry, just a
couple of days and everything will be
O. K. That night Becker called me
again and said get A. J. Levy to look
after the interest of the driver.
Becker Cheered Him Up.
"I started Sehepps out to get In
touch with A. J. Levy. I later received
another message that Levy had been
retained. He kept in constant com
munication with me* either by tele
phone or through Sehepps, cheering me
up. Finally on Wednesday morning I
received a telephone message from him
advising me to give myself up, as they
were asking for me in connection with
the Gilbert affidavit.
"I said. ‘Charlie, 1 am almost crazy.
I am sick in mind and body. I don’t
dare trust myself being questioned. I
am thinking of you and I will surely
make a mess of it.' He said, 'Well. I
guess you are right: rest and stay there
a w hile until I phone you.’ I received
another message later in the day tell
ing nip to come to Lawyer Hart’s of
fice. as he wanted to see me. I told
him I was too sick. He said, 'Well, I
will send him to you.'
"About 10 o’clock that night Lawyer
Hart and a notary came to see me and
began questioning me.
"Sehepps came in when they left and
I said to him, 'Sam. I have been tricked
and duped; it looks like Becker Is try
ing to make me the “goat"’ Sehepps
assured me it was only my nervous
state that made me think that. 'Why,'
he said, 'I had a talk with Becker and
he said everything is O. K. Just sit
tight, you and everybody else will be
all right. He is looking after every-
I thing.’
Gave Himself Up.
" rhursday a. m. I got a newspaper
and read A. J. Levy’s statement about
( me. and I realized at once that there
was treachery somewhere. I awoke
Sehepps and told him I was going to
headquarters and give myself up and
tell all.
"I hired a taxi and started down
town. Sehepps all the while accom
panying me and begging me not to do
it before I consulted with Becker, but I
, was determined, and went to head
quarters and waited the arrival of
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty.
"I was taken in the office with him
. and Hughes ami questioned about the
murder. Then Dougherty left me, re
turned and left the door open, and
Becker appeared in the doorway, pale
■ as a ghost. Dougherty said, the
I door. Then he questioned me about
Becker. The trick of having Becker ap
pear in the doorway had its effect Mv
heart went out to him and I denied any
’ relationship with him.
I was then charged with an acces
sory to the murder of Herman Rosen
thal I was taken from there to the
district attorney’s office. I met Mr.
Whitman. I was taken to the Tombs,

itself on Its warlike appearance. It
had proof that it looks formidable.

proceeding in heavy marching order,
rifles glistening on their shoulders and
bayonets clanking against the tin cups
hung on their haversacks.
Cotton pickers were busy In a field
near Austell. They zlldn't remain busy
when the soldiers passed. The fact that
the Stars and Stripes were being car
ried in the rear of the column gave the
harvesters no assurance of safety. They
took one look at the marching war
riors and took to the woods.
