SALVATION LASS
PICKS SUM
OF GAMBLER
Lass. Collecting Money in the
Tenderloin. Was Near When
Rosenthal Was Shot.
NEW YORK. Sept. 6.—Two import
ant new witnesses were added today to
the list of persons who will testify for
:he prosecution when Police Lieutenant
Charles A. Recker is placed on trial
fir the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
the gembier, who accused him of sell
ing "protection"''to law breakers.
One is a Salvation Army girl who
has named all the assassins. When
shown the picture of the accused gun
men she identified them as the mur
derers who fled in the grey automobile
The other is a member of the Elks club
who also saw the tragedy.
The discovery of the two new wit
nesses. it was stated today, has greatly
strengthened District Attorney Whit
man’s ease against the men accused
of killing Rosenthal.
Assistant District Attorney Collogan
i F now in Troy, getting a statement
from the member of the Elks club who
witnessed the assassination The club
man. it was said today, was so close
to the door of the Hotel Metropole
that he can identify the murderers.
Sure She Can Pick Out Slayers.
The Salvation Army girl was re
turning home after a night spent in
collecting money in various tenderloin
resorts. At 2 o’clock on the morning
of July 16 she was directly in front of
the Metropole when the shooting oc
curred and saw a4l the murderers.
She has identified all of them by
their pictures and is certain that she
can pick them out of any number of
men. The young woman will return
here tomorrow and place herself at the
disposal of the district attorney.
The officers of the Salvation Army
were at first reluctant to have any
body in their organization connected
with the Rosenthal murder. They en
treated Mr. Whitman not to drag the
young woman into the case.
Mr. Whitman, however, insisted on
having the woman's testimony, and the
officials of the army finally consented.
Governor Dix today at Albany order
ed a second extraordinary session of
the supreme court to convene in New
York city October 7. with Justice Goff
presiding, for the investigation of po
lice graft. This will permit the se
lection of a special grand jury, which
the first extraordinary session failed to
aeoure.
Former Inspector
Goes on Trial
raw YORK, Sept. 6.—After a bitter
clash Cornelius G. Hayes, former in
spector of police, was placed on trial
here today upon Commissioner Waldo's
charge that he had made false state
ments.
The trial is an aftermath of the
tenderloin raids resulting from the
murder of Herman Rosenthal. Hayes
declared that he had been ordered by
Commissioner Waldo not to raid dis
orderly resorts.
Commissioner WaWo was called as
the first witness. His testimony was
brief, being merely an elaboration of
the charges filed when Hayes was de
moted.
Deputy Police Commissioner Doug
las I. McKay presided at the trial,
though Attorney Thatcher, counsel for
Hayes, had protested on the ground
that McKay had been supenaed as one
of the chief witnesses for his client.
Corporation Counsel Farlay argued
for the police commissioner, and Mc-
Kay ruled that he was eligible to pre
■<ide. Hayes’ attorney took an excep
tion to this ruling and the trial pro
ceeded.

I E. M’CLELLAND ANSWERS
STATEMENT OF JOEL HURT
Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 6. 1912.
I note in the Atlanta Constitution of
this morning, Friday. September 6,
statements made by Mr. Joel Hurt,
with reference to myself concerning
my attitude on the proposed work on
Ivy street.
Mr. Hurt declares, if correctly quot
ed by r the paper. 'That it was my own
guilty conscience that prompted me to
bring the charges of political high
handedness on the part of other mem
bers.” He is further quoted as stating
that my statements were “fraudulent
and untrue.” So far as the personality
of this is concerned, within ten min
utes after I read the article in the
Constitution, I called Mr. Hurt over
the phone and told him that his state
ments were untrue and that he knew
that he was a common, ordinary liar,
and for which I now have, and never
will have any apology to offer, on the
ground that he made statements reck
lessly and wantonly. I much regret
that Mr. Hurt should have seen fit
at this time, with his old time boldness,
to come out and again burden Atlanta
with his infamy.
Especially is It true that to go into
a controversy with Mr. Hurt, it will
become necessary to recount “his fin
gering in politics." In the old days it
was so common to him to buy, bar
ter with and bluff politicians that he
then thought he owned Atlanta. The
people awakened and realized the in
famy that had been practiced upon the
public, and public opinion kicked him
out of the running: he however, de
manded . his pound of flesh from At
lanta. and got it. by owning and con
trolling the political situation. With
wisdom he has pursued silence and
kept from the public gaze since then,
but with his brazen effrontery he now
comes out in other quarters and seeks
to bulldoze those that he has not
bought ajid demands that Allanta be
turned over to him for his own per
sonal gain. It never entered his mind
to help Ivy street property owners. The
(project was that the county should be
(turned over to him to do any work
J that he saw fit to have done and I
«ay with r egret that it Is a
known fact that by reason of Mr.
Hurt's personal relations with certain
county officials, that the county's con
vict' a-e at his services. He can get
them on a day's notice. Georgia ave

TAFT OVERLOOKS ONE ’
THRUST OF CONGRESS
AT COMMERCE COURT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Another '
blow which the last Democratic con- '
struck at the United States com.
meree court was brought to light to
day when tile comptroller of the treas- I
ury discovered that no provision was |
made in the legislative, executive and I
judicial appropriation for the miscel- I
laneous expenses of the members of I
that court. i
The organic act of 11*08 provided |
$1,500 a year for miscellaneous ex
penses of the judges. When the mar
shal of the court asked the comptroller
if he were entitled toYontinue the pay.
ment of this item, the comptroller de
clared that there is no authorization
for such an expenditure.
The miscellaneous expense item con
cerns the allowance for railway fares,
etc., of the judges when assigned by the
chief justice of the court to the district
courts.
DEAD MAN HAD A ROLL
OF MONEY IN POCKET
CHICAGO. Sept. 6. —A dead man wa
piekefi up in the lake with $1,<41 in
currency in .his pockets and a hank
book showing a balance of $2,089. The i
book was issued by the First National
bank of Bradford, Pa., to James Don
nelly. The body had been in the lake
apparently ten days. No marks of vio
lence wete visible.
I’he money appealed as if just is
sued by a bank and bore a wrapper
with the figures $1,741'. The man was
50 years old, and besides a silver watch,
there wen no means of identification.’
street that is used for the common pub
lic has to bide their time with pa
tience until private personal interests
are served by such men us Mr. Hurt.
At a meeting of the street commit
tee, Mr. Hurt declared that any man
who voted against his proposition
would never come back to council, that
he would buy a paper, run it and pub
lish it to prevent the man who had
dared to go against his wishes, and
openly shook his finger in the face of
a member of council and said. “1 put
you on notice that because you are
voting against Ivy street you will nev
er have another political office." I
want it understood that I am not the
one that he treated thusly, for. for such
audacity I should have then and there
slapped his face.
Os course. Mr. Hurt may now buy
the papers and by reason of the fact
that he holds himself so far above
the common people, he may say that
what I have said does not demand or
warrant any reply from him because
of the fact that I am so fat beneath
him, and in advance 1 will say that I
have not become encumbered with
money that came illegitimately from
the people of Atlanta, but with a con
sciousness of my own rectitude I even
have the audacity to defy Mr. Hurt.
I am leaving the city with my boy.
who Is desperately ill. but I shall give
no excuse of any kind or character for
attending to Mr. Hurt on all occa
sions. My address is Borden Wheeler.
Ala., and I shall return to Atlanta at
any minute that Mr. Hurt desires a
discussion of this matter in any wav.
I am out of the mayor's race; 1 have
no political ambition, but have got the
couragt to say what I think of and be
lieve of the politicians of Atlanta and
if the health of my boy permits 1
shall publicly state the facts to the i
people. I shall tell them why Mr. Hurt I
Is so exercised even though he has got I
Mr. Chambers in hie political camp, I
and even though he has bought by
promises or otherwise what he thinks
is a sufficient number to carry out his
personal projects. I put him on notice
that they won’t stay bought, because
the constituents are going to force
their representatives to do what is
right, and nobody wili have ever ac
cused Mr. Hurt with any kinship to
progress or Atlanta's interest unless he
is benefits' 1 two to on iiimsof.
