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.

Cashier I Advertisement.) 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 nue. Marietta street, and any other 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.
