(Under Graat's Swre) NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1928, HUNT KILLER OF NOTED GAMBLER Police Believe They Definitely Know Rothstein’s Slayer New York, Nov. 22.—UP—Police today for the first time since Arnold Rothstein was fatally shot Novem- ber 4 were hunting for a definite I person as his slayer. First Clue Mrs. Ruth Keyes, blonde young wife of a Chicago railroad brake- man, provided the police with their ! first promising clue when she partly | identitied the photograph of a mno- | torious gunman as that of a man she had seen with George McManus, gambler friend of Rothstein, in & room of the Park Central hotel a few hours before Rothstein was shot | there. Immediately the police of Detroit, | St. Louis and Cleveland—known aunts of the suspect—were asked to | join in the search. Mrs. Keyes, brought from Chicago |as a voluntary witness to aid the { baffled New York police, readily identified a photograph of Mec- Manus as that of the “Mac" she met by chance on the third floor of the hotel the day Rothstein was shot. The police previously had referred to this man as “Jack.” McManus has not been found by the police. Lured Into Room | About four hours before Roth- stein was lured into the room occu- | pied by McManus she visited “Mac” there, was introduced to the suspect and had several drinks, according to {her story as told by the police. Gunmen There The man she met in the room with “Mac” is described by police as & professional gunman and gangster who was wounded less than a year ago in an underworld feud. A second gunman, police say, also ! was present in the room when Roth. | stein w shot. Due to Mrs. § , the police had j their first bright day in the investiga- tion. However, a shadow was cast over it by Mrs. Ruth B. Pratt, re- publican member of the board of aldermen and recently elected to | congress. She wrote a letter to Gov- crnor Smith asking the removal from | oftice of Police Commissioner War- ren, citing the Rothstein case as evidence of “the shameful inefi- v of the police and the de- moralized condition of the depart. Common Knowledge a matter of common she said, “that the ter and the ‘racketeer’ have grated to New York in great {numbers and are slaying with im- punity. Although these notorious { criminals must be known to the po- lice, they have been allowed to ply their trades without apparent tion by the police. What s e there seems to be no intelli- | gent, serious effort made to hold any lone of them responsible for their shocking crime. Mrs. Pratt listed 25 murders com- mitted in New York since the first of the year which she said are un- solved, and concluded: “These facts are known, or should he known, to the mayor of New York. For some unknown reason he has failed to take the only action hat he should take under the eir- cumstances—the removal of his present commissioner and the com- 1 plete reorganization of the police de- partment.” ECZEMA SUFFERER GOT QUICK RELIEF *T suffered thirty years; then of Rabaim.

Ec ical !mittee cn the World War memorial ‘ had gone out of the city to engage ! to give us a free concert at the park Paonessa Hits and Whitman; Accgs; Them of Racial Prejudice Mayor Declares They Would Have Barred Jews, Italians, Irish, Swedes and Poles From Committee. In the most slashing attack heard in the common council chamber in wmany years, Mayor Paonessa last night took from the original com- dedication the credit for success of the day, gave credit to the enlarged committee and directed severe criti- clsm against Chairman George H. Dyson and Councilman Roger W. Whitman, secretary, both of whom he frequently mentioned by name. The mayor was angered when Councilman Whitman arose to apon- sor a movement, which proved un- successful, to withhold payment from the Savoy band and the Hard- ware City band, because their serv- ices on dedication day were not en- gaged by Mr. Dyson or by Steve Robb, chairman of the music com- mittee, Whitman had hardly resumed his t when the mayor asked and was given the privilege of the floor. “This bill should have had the approval of the flnance committee,” the mayor began. “The bill for both bands was brought into my office by Councilman Whitman, secretary of the committee. I don’t know why it never reached the finance commit- tee. Mr. Whitman was aware of con- ditions surrounding the bill, and if he was man enough, would get up and speak In favor of payment. 1t is regrettable that I find it necessary to tell you here tonight of the do- ings of the memorial dedication comnrittee, things went so smooth on that day. But I want you to know that this smoothness must not be credited to the committee. If he had his way in making appoint- ments to the committee, there would be no dedication! “Mr. Dyson was so partial in his appointments, that I dread to expose it. He would have appointed a com- mittee composed of one group. I re- minded him that this iy a cosmo- politan city and insisted that all groups be recognized. If Mr. Dyson had his way and if you had your way, Mr. Whitman, there would be no Jews, no Italians, no Irish, no Swedes and no Poles. I asked for full representation and because I did I wag called ‘obstructionist.’ “The success of the day was due to the general public. It was not because of Mr. Dyson or Mr. Whit- man. ] “With reference to these bands, T learned that the music committee bands and had ignored these two. One of these bands was good enough in 8cptember—but you would have a few paltry dollars held from them. I am ashamed of you, and Mr. Whit- man, you ought to be ashamed of the only member to speak after the wayor sat down, and he merely re- marked: “There's something {ll- smelling about this. We should say little about this, but should pass it and pay it” A standing vote showed 13 mem- bers favoring payment and 10 op- posing, and it was ordered that the comptroller make the payment. Blames Whitman for Friction Council Whitman was subjected Ito further criticism by the mayor today, and was charged with being directly resgonsible for the friction which was known to exist between the first memorial committtee and the mayor. After having missed early meet- ings which were preparing nomina- tions for the committee of 300, Mayor Paonessa chanced into the meeting room shortly before the large group was selected. Minutes prepared by Councilman Whit- man, as committee secretary, were called for, and to the chagrin of the mayor and of other members, Whit- man read off a reference to the mayor as an ‘*‘obstructionist,” the mayor disclosed today. Mayor Paonessa further declared Whitman's action was so thorough- ly disapproved that the committee, on motion, voted unanimously to or- der the ‘‘obstructionist” reference expunged from the records and it was done.

A tablet called Rexall Or- derlies attracts water from the sys- tem into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thorough move- ment without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose. Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 24 for 26c to- yourself.” Councilman Willlam D. Boyle was I day at the nearest Rexall or Liggett Drug Store.
