(►ELOPERS HIDE IN
WOODS; CAUGHT
Youthful Pair, Failing to Get
License Sunday, Found at
Night by Police.
Awaiting today's sunlight and an of
f ia! who might marry them, a flfteen
' J;ear-old swain and his lady love, one
J eat his junior, played babes in the
woods last’night, but the hard-hearted
county police found them in their syl
tan 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
ha ppiness.
Six weeks ago pretty Vera Glozier
came to Atlanta from Natchez. Miss.,
5 to visit a married sister at 161 Crew
I street. M ith her came her mother.
L Henry Thrasher was an errand boy
L for L. W. Rogers, a grocer of 236 Capi-
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 t'ime he ran
his errands to this particular house
■with quickened step.
► Plan to Elope on Sunday Fails.
I Then began an ardent courtship, eve"?
I 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
yrapped up in Henry Thrasher.
- The pair realized, however, that their
jlouthfulness 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 age and gave them op
i portunity to make life worth living.
They planned an elopement. Sunday
was the day set, and yesterday they
fared forth to seek a license. They
didn't know that 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
t<he Chattahoochee.
1» There county policemen found them.
• The 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
flip 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.
But when the Glozier girl got back
sh< could give no adequate account of
where she had been spending the day
and evening. The mother grew suspi
, clous.
Mother Takes Girl Back Home.
The first train for Natchez, Miss.,
leaves Atlanta at 5 o’clock in the morn
ing. When it left today it carried
Vera Glozier and her on its
passenger list.
Henry Thrasher raged and tore his
hair in true lover fashion when he
t found that for a while at least he will
■ have to bear up under single blessvd
■* Ttess. He even consulted the police.
Under their advice, there was a fa
miliar face at the grocery again today,
but his feet were leaden as he delivered
his packages. He carried none to 161
Crew street.

Iff! FOR TEST
OF CANAL 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 the 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 b. gone over with care

Let the citizens join with me and ex
tend a helping hand.”

John Rossi, a farmer boy, took two
signal lights from the Chicago and Al-

CONFESSION OF ROSE
TELLS OF SLAYING AT
POLICEMAN’S ORDERS
NEW YORK. Aug! 19.—Here is
“Jack" Rose’s confession of the killing
of Herman Rosenthal as he wrote it
for District Attorney Whitman:
"About the time Jack Zellg 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.
"I 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 tliat
Rosenthal is the man that is stirring up
all the trouble 1n New York and I want
him murdered—shot, his throat cut, any
way that will take him off the earth.’
Promised Immunity.
"He went further. He said if any
body will murder Rosenthal nothing can
happen to him: he will take care of
that. And if these men down town
don't accept the job tell them that not
one of them will bo left on my round
ups. I will find where they hang out
and I will frame every one of them up
and send them up the river for carry
ing concealed weapons.
"Now*, he said it is one thing or the
other. Rosenthal to be croaked or the
fellows down town to be framed.
"First I met Harry Vallon and Bridgie
Webber I told them of it all and they
agreed It was a serious matter, so we
Ipcated 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 bis
men unless Rosenthal was murdered.
Zelig wouldn’t have anything to do
wltTi it.
"I received' a message on Monday
night from Becker. He said if the
would only get croaked tonight
how happy he would be.
■ “I walked around to the Sam Paul
club where I met Jack Sullivan and
I talked with 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 the Garden and went to Gilbert’s
house.
“I took the entire party including
Schepps, Plitt and Vallon to 14th St.
where a tire blew out. I suggested to
Schepps to telephone to the Boulevard
for another machine which he did the
Gray ear with Shapiro arrived.
"I asked Schepps 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
I place.
The Murder Reported.
"I remained behind and insisted that
Shepps remain with me which he did
after a while Shepps went out. I wait
ed around when soon one came In with
the Report that Rosenthal had been
murdered.
“Webber suggested I telephone Beck
er. I spoke to Becker. I asked him if
he heard the nows he said yes some
newspaper man telephoned him I said
My God f’harlie this is awful. He 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 be down town
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 we got in the door way a man came
along whom we knew and Jack Sulli
van 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 be' 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 hfs 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 ft so de
cided tonight to do it myself.
Money For “Those Fellows.”
“I asked him how, well he said after
I left Jack Sullivan I instructed Otto to
drive b.v the Metropole and to slow
down without stopping I intended if
Rosenthal was there to take out my
Gun blaze away at him and then tell
Otto to keep going but he wasn't there.
“I said well what about’these fellows
he said I will take good care 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.
"I went home to One Hundred and
Tenth street ill mind ami body. I
remained at the house until.l received
a message from Shepps saying the peo
ple were waiting for me at the Garden
Restaurant. I refused to come down.
Schepps said Webber had money to
give me to give to those fellows for
Becker I told Schepps to get it and
meet me 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.
“J left them accompanied by Schepps,
went to Polocks house where I col
lapsed. 1 was put to bed and asked
S'hepp« to go out ami get word to
Becker where I am ami to have him I
call tut up, which he did. He laughed
and joked and said 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 Schepps out to get in
touch with A. J. Levj. I later received
another message that Levy had been
tetained. He kept in constant com
munication with me either by tele
phone or through Schepps. cheering me
up. Finally on Wednesday morning I
received a telephone message from him
advising me to give myself up, as they
were asking so- me in connection with
the Gilbert affidavit.
"I said. 'Charlie, I 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 while until I phone you.' I received
another message later in the day tell
ing me 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 amd a notary came to see me and
began questioning me.
“Schepps came in when they left and
I said to him, Sam, I ha-ve been tricked
and duped; it looks like Becker is try
ing to make me the "goat.”’ Schepps
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 ait
tight, you and everybody elm will be
all right. He is looking after every
thing.'
Gave Himaetf Up.
“Thursday 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
Schepps and told him I was going to
headquarterg and give myself up and
tell all.
“I hired a taxi and started down,
town, "Schepps all the while accom
panying me and begging mo not to do
it before I consulted with Backer, but 1
was determined, and went to head
quarters and waited the arrival ot
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty.
"I was taken in the office with him
and Hughes and 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. 'Shut the
door.’ Then he questioned me about
Becker. The trick of having Becker ap
pear in the doorway had Its effect. My
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. .1 was taken to the Tombs,
where I kept getting messages from
Becker through Plitt advising me to sit
tight and not worry, a S he was looking
after everything, including my family."
