N The possibility of alliance with any of the old parties was denied in the most vigorous terms. No Attempt to Capture Republican Primaries. The question of making an attempt to capture the republican primaries, which agitated the meeting' of the Roosevelt state committee last night, did not arise at the convention.

Old Parties Helpless and Corrupted. “The old party organizations have become so0 helpless and corrupted as to make it impossible te do anything with them as they now are, and this is largely due to the faet that the party fights are not now feught along genuine lines of cleavage, Our or- ganization is in very truth the peo- ple’s organization, and we are trying to help the people to the best of our ability, and we are fighti; not only on real issues but upon issues most vital to the weifare of this re- public. “I feel that we have a right to claim the support of every good oftizen, no matter what his past political aflta- tions may have been.

New York, July 23—Important de- velopments in" the Rosenthal murder case were expected to follow closely a conference held tonight in the district attorney’s office’ at which Harry Val- ton, the dapper gambler and gangster who was in the “murder car” the night Rosenthal was shot, made a statement to Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty and District Attorney Whitman. Valton who was eagerly sought by the police as an important in the case gave himself up to- day and was later held by the coroner without bail for examination on a charge of complicity in the murder. The Authorities Elated. Apparently the authorities were elated at the information secured from Valton ,though the nature of the dis- closures was not divulged. All that Commissioner Dougherty would say was that Valton “was in the ‘murder car’ when the car was on its course to Broadway and 42nd street” and that an important arrest was expected shortly. Murder “Smells of Police Connivance” A8 soon as Valton gave himself up the district attorney and Commission- er Dougherty laid their lines to get from this important witness the names of those “higher up” who hired the gunmen to slay Rosenthal. Mr. Whit- man has flatly thrown down the gauntlet to the police department, de- claring that the “murder smells of police connivance. That Valton can throw more light on the l’:x-ohlem is frely asserted, but how much he has already told is a secret closely gwarded. Mrs: Rosenthal Before Grand Jury. Outside of Valton, interest was largely centered today in the appear- ance before the grand jury of Mrs. Rosefithal, widow of the - murdered gambler. Her husband was slain on the morning of the day when he was to have told District Attorney Whit- man what he knew about the alleged Wb between the police and ew York gamblers. With the lips of Rosenthal closed, the district attorney has hoped to get many of the facts from Mrs. Rosentha] who is thought to have had Intimate knowlsdge of her husband's affal lice. 4 Mrs. Rosenthal is believed to have told the grand jury today about the meéting her husband had with Police| Lieutenant Charles Becker, who, ac- cording to Rosenthal, was his silent partner in his place in West 45th Street, Whether the four gangsters still at large who- were in the “murder car” at the time of the-shooting will follow the lead of Valton and surrend- er is causing much speculation. Dis- triet Attorney Whitman has announc- ed that he “will protect svery man in this case” if he can get the evidence he wants against policemen, evidence which he elaims he knows exists. Gangsters Who Are Wanted. But Commissioner Dougherty and the private detectives who have been employed by Mr. Whitman are not walting for developments of this sort and every effort is being made to round up the men, “Whitey” Lewis, gambler and gang- ster, “Lefty” Louid, Hast Side gang- man, Harry Horowits known as “Gib the Blood,” and uptown lisutenant of “Big Jack” Selig, and “Dago Frank,’ an Kast Side gun man are all seught. It is said that “Dage Fraak” and “Gib the .Blood” are still in the city or nearby. The police are not sure of the whereabouts of the others, It is thought that they may be in hiding in Chicago. When asked tonight if “Big Jack Selig will be summoned in 'the case, the district attorney smiled and said: “I can get Sel{lg any time I want him I know where he is and if I deem it advisable to call him into my office he will be on hand.” o 'NEW BEDFORD STRIKERS VOTE TO REMAIN OUT. | Refuse to Act on Advice of Industrial Workers' Leaders.

New Parcels Post Section. The parcels post section is radieally different from that incorporated im the house bill, which provided a flat rate of postage for all distances. The sen- ate provision is that of the Bourne bill, slightly modified. Senator Bourne rec- ommended that third and fourth class mail matter be combined for the par- cels post service; but the bill makes the parcels post apply only to fourth class matter. No Unions of Postal Employes. The senate committee struck out of the house bill the provision giving to postal emploves the right to combine in labor unions and the right to peti- tion congress for redress of their grievances. It also provided for the abolishment of the present system of carrying sec- ond clase mail by fast freight, under what {8 known as the “blue tag” sys- tem. Under the senate bill all second cluss matter would be put back Into | regular mail cars after Aug. 31. A special commission s dlso pro- posed to investigate the subject of pneumatic tube service and whether the government shall purchase that now in use in vaPious cities. A $10,000 appropriation is authorized for im- proved mechanical devices in the Chi- cago postoffiee, which is now over- crowded. Steel Cars Required. Bteel cars for rallway mail service, which were required by the house bill to be in universal use by American railroads by 19817, are also required by the menate bill. The house bill re- quired the railroads to replace 20 per cent, of its wooden mail cars every year, while the senate bill would give the roads one year of grace and then require them to replace 25 per cent. of their cars each year for four vears. ] 4 CONGRESSMEN MISSING.
