Louis Crese, a ‘waiter, -testified at the coroner’s hearing that he saw the pesassination. Two men sat in_ the ‘murder car,” while four others who ptood nearby shot Rosenthal down as e came from the hotel. Crese iden- ified Webber as the man he had rec- penized on the scene and pointed out Eullivan as having been there imme- Biately after the shooting. John Reis- ler, known in the tenderloin as “John . Barber,” testified that he had seen Webber near the Metropole after the shooting and that ‘B'ridgie was run- Ring.” Mayor Gaynor Stands by Becker. Mayor Gaynor took a decided stand in the turmoil that has arisen over the inquiry. He wrote to Police Com- missioner Waldo directing that Lieut. Becker, who was charged by Rosen- thal with being in league with the gamblers in this city, shall not be sus- | pended or put on trial without evi- dence to justify his conviction and dismissal. On the “other charge,” that Becker instigated the murder of Ros- the mayor sald: b, is possible, but so far there Is no evidence to support the charge.” Lieut. Costigan, in the presence of Commissioner Waldo, publicly denfed ne had made statements to the grand Jury that gamblers could not remain open ‘without police protection, Charges Against Patrolman File. Patrolman Willlam E. Fila, who wes in the Metropols at the time of the murder, was served with charges pre- ferred against him by Chief Inspector Schmittberger, The complaint says that File failed to take proper action at the time in causing the apprehen- sion of the murderers and also fajled 1o report to his superiors any infor- mation which might be of valus to them. Aldermen and Mayor at Loggerheads. The hearing in the cases of “Dago” Frank and Sam Paul, both charged with complicity in the murder, were put over by the coroner until Mon- day. Leading aldermen presented to May- or Gaynor a requisition for a meeting of the board to consider the position in regard to the police. The mayor in- dicated that he would take the mat- ter up Monday, but declared, they sald: “You are doing this to embar- rass me In my attempt to clear up the situation.” Testimony of Waiter Crese. There Was a gramatic session of the coroner's hearing this afternoon at which Louis Crese was the leading figure. His testimony was the first which has been brought out at the hearings relative to the actual slaying of the gambler. Crese said he had arrived in New York the day before the shooting to flook for a job, and when near the Mefropole, just before the assassination, he said that a largey gray automobile was standing there,\containing a chauffeur and one other man. Four men stood near the “murder car.” Told to Mind His Own Business. They said to me, declared the wit- ness: “What do you want here?” I | did not answer, them and they said: “Go away and mind your own busi- ness.” A man came from the Metro- pole and put his hand to his hat. As he did this the men scattered to the street. A man came from the hotel behind the man who gave the signal and then the four men in the street started shooting.” “Did you ses any one there whom YOu now see in the court room?” asked District Attorney Whitman. Pointed Out Webber, It was & dramatic moment. Scarce- ly a sound was audible as Crese rose from his chair and surveyed the faces before him. Then he raised his hand and pointed to “Bridgie” Webber. The witness said he had been afraid to tell all this before. He admitted that he had run toward Shanley's af- ter the murder, meeting a policeman going toward the scene of the assassi- nation. Webber, he said, was running |on the opposite gide of the street. Shots Fired Simultaneously. “I started running, after the shoot- ing,” he declared. “The shots did not come one, two, three, but nearly to- gether, Webber,-as he was running, £poke to some man as he passed. It was nearly as light as day and I saw him plainly.” > It was immediately afterward that Jack Builivan, the news dealer, known as “King of the Newsboys” became further involved-in the case, Sulli- automobile a few hours hefore the murder and left the car at Sixth ave- nue and Forty-second street, in the Immediate vicinity of ‘B'ridgie” Web- ber’s place. Cress Points Out Sullivan. He Wwas recently arrested as a ma- terial witness and released on bail Crese was asked to go through the court room and see if he recognized any more men. The witness, in company with a de- tective, scrutinized all the faces, but shook his head until he came to Jack Sullivan. After a careful inspection of Sullivan, he declared that the news dealer had been at the scene imme- diately after the shooting. Sullivan's arrest followed shortly on a charge of homicide. Guarded by Detectives. Crese left police headquarters late today, accompanied by two detectives, who were instructed not to leave him until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when he will be taken back to head- quarters, SOLDIERS CHARGED WITH MISCONDUCT.

'Senate Places a Tax on Business THE DEMOCRATIC EXCISE BILL IS PASSED REPEALS RECIPROCITY Amendment to That Effect Adopted— A $2 Tax on Print Paper—A Demo- ive Combination. cratic-Progre: Washington, July 26.—Democrats and pro[re!siges united again in the sen- ate and by a vote of 36 to 18 passed the democratic excise tax bill exXtend- ing the present tax on corporations to the business of individuals, private firms and co-partnerships. Aftached to the measure, also by the aid of repub- lican votes, were amendments for the repeal of the Canadian reciprocity law anx:l the fixing of a $2 per ton tariff on print paper and for the establishment of a permanent non-partisan tariff commission. Little Opposition by Republicans. The second day's victory for the democratic - progressive combination came after an uninteresting debate.

The rates are at a stand still, in fact are being constantly reduced, while flxed expenditure in the way of taxes, special provisions made by special legislation, whether calling for the safety and comfort of the public or what they deem right, are constantly increasing and are burdens over which they have no con- trol. I do not complain of many of them, but at the same time with your sources of income _controlled, and likewise being controlled the question of addftional cost of labor is most se- rious.

Therefore you must p up your earnings sufficiently to show a credit that will result in in- vestors supplying you with the money needed; in other words to make your securities marketable. Advance of Rates Will Be Necessary. “Besides that, the cost of living has gone -up to the individual, the in- vestor, just as it has to other peo- ple, and they feel the same necessity for an increased income as those ‘whose income is dependent upon their labor. If an advance in wages took place, we must receive an advance in S ome way of recouping ourselves.” Public’s Interest to be Considered, In conclusion Mr. McCrea said: “The question is agreed to be whether the wages are fair or if they are unfair, whether they will be justified in allowing an advance of rates which are pald by the public, Therefore I think that that side of the question should receive your most serious consideration, not only in rendering your decision but in the decision, the explanations or opinions. Coming from a body of men like your- selves, they will carry great weight, not only with the public and the rail- mladu. but with the employees them- selves.” GENERAL CONDITION OF- MIKADO 18 IMPROVED.

Democrats Solid for Bill. ! The demeocratic majority stood al- | most solidly against any change in the house bill that would threaten its de- | feat, They declared that a tax on busi- | ness was clearly constitutional, while an income tax law had once been held unconstitutional by the supreme court and might again suffer that fate, un- less the states ratify the amendment to the federal constitution, The measure was changed from the original house bill only in minor par- ticularg except for the addition of- the Canadian recipocity repeal and the permanent tariff commission provision, It will go back to the house for the approval of that body. Tax of 1 Per Cent. Over $5,000. The excise measure would levy upon all persons, firms or co-partnerships an annual tax equal to 1 per cent. of net income in excess of $5,000. Benator Cummins’ permanent tariff board amendment, which was carried once yesterday in the wool fight and then lost in the final upheaval when the La Follette bill passed, was at- tached to the excise bill by a vote of 38 to 20, All of the democrats ex- cept Pomerene of Ohlo voted against the tariff board, while all of the re- | publicans except Heyburn of Idaho | supported it. $2 Per Ton on Print Paper. ‘The chief fight, aside from that cen- tering about Senator Borah's income tax measure, came up on the Canadian reciprocity act offered by Senator Grena of North Dakota. The amend- ment, adopted by the senate 37 to 26, provides for the complete repeal of the reciprocity law and for the establish- ment of a rate of $2 per ton on print paper imported from Canada, in place of the present duty of $3. The portion of the reciprocity law now in effect which admits paper free from Canadian provinces which do not discriminate against the United States was defended by Senators Williams, Bacon, Smith of Georgia and “other democrats. They declared the free paper provision of the reciprocity law should be allowed to remain in effect and said under such an arrangement they would be glad to support a repeal of the balance of the law. - Bacon Argues for Free Paper. Sepator Bacon finally _offered an amendment to repeal oll of the reci- procity law except the free paper sec- tion, It was defeated 37 to 27, Bristow, Clapp, Poindexter and Works being the only progressives who voted for it, The Grena amendment.was, then adopted, Labor H?iuu and Fraternals E: ot The genute adepttd an amendment by Nenator Fletcher which changed the exclse bill ge that tax weuld Dot apply to ldbar orgunizations, ug tural sssociations er fraternal org isations 6F an insurance character,” A plan te éheek the tobacwo monepely by a special exeise tax on preduction ‘abeve a eertain ameunt, offered by Senater Hiteheoek, was defeated, Bugar Tariff Teday.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 26—The “confession of faith” of Colonel Roose- Vit is now down in black and white, the finishing touches having been made today. When he has complet- ed the recital of his doctrine in Chi- cago on the night of Auguet 6 ho probably will be called socialistie or anarchistic, and both, he said tonight. But he insisted that the meas- nres he advocated must come. “They are corrective of socialism and an antidote to anarchy,” he de- clared. A Mininmum Wage for Women. Two of the more striking measurel) favored by Colonel Roosevelt are fi ing by law a minimum wage scale f women workers, and a by law to workmen employed in what he calls the “continuous industries” of eight hour shifts, and one day’s rest in every seven. Although Colonel Roosevelt has taken unusual precau- tions to prevent the contents of his speech from becoming known prema- turely, he gave a glimpse behind the eil tonight.
