Req;ech—Sure He . Can Identify Two of the Gang and Possibly All of Them —One Assassin Pushed Revolver Into Rosenthal’s Face. New York, July 28—Police officials tonight believe that the lines are dchf:ning about the remaining fugi- tives sought in conmnection with the assassipation of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, who was murdered thir- teen days ago. The four men most wanted by the police are still at large, but of these it is said that “Whitey” Lewis, “Lefty Loule” and "“Gyp the Blood” (Harry Horowitz) are now al- most within the police drag net. Hiding in New York City. These men are believed to be in hiding in this city, without funds, and in sore straits. It seems to be but a question of time before they will be foreed into the open. Sam Schepps. the fourth man of the quartette, has fied the city and his whereabouts are not known. Another Important Witness. Another important witness whose {dentity is being carefully concealed by the police has been found by Depu- 1y Police Commissioner Dougherty. This man stood within a few yards of Rosenthal when the latter was shot down, under the brilliant lights In front of the Hotel Metropole. He saw the gray murder car at the curb, he saw the four men standing about the entrance of the hotel, walting for their prey to come out, he saw a man who placed his revolver almost in the gambler's face and shot him. At least two of the party he is sure he can {dentify and possibly every ome of them. Pushed Revolver Into Face. This is part of what the new wit- nees has told the police: “I remember the faces weil I saw those four men run away to the gray automobfle. One of them carried a re- votver. I saw the man with the re- volver distinotly at the time of the shooting, as he was the nearest to me. He pushed the revolver into Rosen- thars face and pulled the trigger. I am sure the muzzie of the weapon was not more than a few Inches away from Rosenthals’ face when the shots were fired Rasenthai’s “A Most Cold-Blooded Murder.” “I was afraid of the gamblers’ ven- geance and did not offer at first to be a witness, but now I am ready to tell my story on the witness stand and identify the murderers of Herman Rosenthal. It was the most cold- blooded murder imaginable.” Corroborates Waiter Krese. Commissioner Dougherty declines to say whether his new witness impli- cates any of the fugitives or the men now arrested charged with implication in the crime. Mr. Dougherty does say, however, that the man's story corrob- orates in nearly every detail that told by Louls Krese, the waiter, who was also an eye-witness of the murder. Krese Identified Webber and Sullivan It was Krese who identified “Bridgie” Webber, in whose gambling house the murder party is said to ha¥e congre- gated before going out for the as- sassination, and Jack Sullivan, who left Police Lieutenant Charles Becker a short time before the crime, as having heen on the scene at the time Rosen- thal was shot. Webber is now held for the(coroner’s inquest on a charge of complicity in the murder and jack Sulltvan is alse Yocked up on a charge of homicide. Possibly Only One Man Fired. The belief is growing in some quar- ters that but one man shot Rosenthal and did so from a position very close to his victim. This theory has con- siderable support from Dr. Otto H. Schultze, the coroners’ physician. who made the autopsy upon Rosenthal. It also seems to be . substantiated by Commissioner Dougherty’s new wit- ness, who tells of seeing but one man fire at Rosenthal Two Bullet Wounds in Head. Dr. Schultze said today that he had found but two bullet wounds in Rosen- thal's head despite the reports that five or more shots had been fired. If more shots were fired Dr. Schultze thinks the bullets failed to hit their mark. Both of the hullets which struck Rosenthal were of .32 calibre.

Empress of Britain, outward bound, collided with the collier Helvetia in a dense fog in the St. Lawrence estuary late yester- day afternoon, according to advices received here today. The collier sank, but its crew was rescued. The Em- press of Britain was so badly damaged that the steamer turned back for Que- bec. where she is expected to arrive late tonight. The Empress of Britain sailed from Quebec Friday evening wiih 730 pas- sengers for Europe. The Heivetia was bound from Sidney for Montreal with a cargo of 3§00 tons of coal. The col- lisfon occurred about ten miles west of Fame Point, Quebec, a lightl.ouse sta- tion on the southern shore of the St. Lawrence river, near the point where it empties into the Gulf of Si. Law- rence. This is approximately 300 miles from Quebec. Although the aceident occurred at, 4.45 o'clock yesterday afternoom, no definite news of it was received until today, when Captain Murray reported to the authorities here and at Quebec that his yessel was badly stove in at the bows and her fore compartments filled with water, but it was believed that the vessel was in no danger of sinking, Assistance was despatched to her, however. The wrecking steamer Lord Straticona and the Canadian Pa- cific tug Crulger both hastened to meet her, It is understood that the Empress of Britain struck the Helvetia amidships, cutting the eollier squarely in two The smaller vessel sank almost imme- diately, but there was quick werk on board the liner and reseue of all hands was speedily effeeted, The passengers on the steamer were awakened by the sheck of the eoflisien and many of | them rushed to the deck in great fear, | but @ serious panie was averted, At § o'elock this aftermoon the damaged liner had reached Father Peint, mak- ing but slew progress up the St. Law- renee, The Atline steamer Pretorian was standing by at that heur and seme of the passengers amd the mail being transferred to that v Montreal, July TARIFF ON SUGAR, | Republicans Put Democrats to Rout | by Revising Schedule. | Washington, J | W 28—The solid re- public n majority of the senate, aided he two democratic senators from Louisiana, put the democrats to rout vesterday and passed a bill revising the sugar schedule—the first of the several tariff bills passed by the sen- ate since the adoption of the Payne- Aldrich tariff bill, which stands a chance of becoming a law. The sugar bill, reported by Senator Lodge on behalf of the republicans of the finance committee, with amend- ments offered by Senator Bristow, was substituted for the house free sugar bill by a vote of 37 to 25, Senators Fos- ter and Thornton of Louisiana voting with the golld republican majority. Democratic senators who repudiated the action of their colleagues in the house by rejecting the free sugar bill at_ their caucus Friday, attempted to substitute a measure drafted by the democratic members of the finance committes reducing the duty on sugar approximately one-third. This was re- Jected by practically the same ma- Jority. — NO CHANGE IN MARRIAGE LAW OF THE CHURCH Report That Pape Has Repealed De- eree “No Temere” Unfounded, Roms, July 28,—The report that the pepe has repealed the decres "Na Te- mere,” is absolutely nnfounded, nor ix it likely ever 1o be revaked, as it em- b!g:lh- proyisions whish ?w- governad 3 A sadyre for 6 sen- turjes, It x-’?&'uus uu&tg\o mis= Bniflp;iandln With respest to the Te- peal the deersq aress th h guspensign of fhe prowisien relati te mixed murriages in QGermany -.3 Hungary, Plie wiher provisions of the "Ne 'rf, £ mece” hawerer, i f e v ol " il "% d B4 = OHE p!‘%F %Sn lfl,ufi%fi.{g: re still fp 1 e Fes, L1, B b and of the pasish priest is apll, ciaved that pessibly the and Bnglan, * |To Throw Dust Barbarity in a in Public’s Eye PURPOSE OF THE NUMEROUS ROOSEVELT CONTESTS WERE ALL FRIVOLOUS Statement Given Out in Reply to Colonel’s Cry of “Theft and Fraud” —All Were Abandoned But 74, ‘Washington, July 28.—A statement, approved by President Taft, defending his nomination by the Chicago conven- tlon, was made public at the White House today. It reviews every con- test before the republican national committee and the credentials com- mittee of the conventlon and asseris that each contest was settled logically, upon its merits. The statement was submitted to the cabinet at a recent meeting and recejved the approval of the president's official family. Contests Not in Good Faith. A resume of the statement, pre- pared by Charles D. Hilles, formerly President Taft's secretary and now chairman of the republican national committee, takes up each contest briefly, This resume opens with the declara- tion that the Roosevelt contests as originally filed before the national committee were not imstituted in good faith. Intent Was to Deceive Public. “The total number of delegates sum- moned to the convention,” says the resume, “was 1,078, with 540 necessary to a choice. Mr. Taft had 561 xotes on the first and only ballot and was declared the nominee. There were in- stituied against 238 of the delegates regularly elecetd for Taft contests on behalf of Roosevelt. These contests were avowedly instigated not for the purpose of really securing seats in the convention, not for the purpose of ad- ducing evidence which would lead any respectable court to entertain the con- tests, but for the purpose of deceiving the public into the belief that Mr. Roosevelt had more votes than he really had, as the conventions and primaries were in progress for the se- lection of delegates. The 238 contests were reduced by abandonment, formal or in substance, to 74. The very fact of these 164 frivolous contests itself reflects upon the genuineness and va- lidity of the remainder.” Credentials Committee Misrepresented An appendix is the report of the credentials committee to the conven- tion, in which the statement issued I tha Roosevelt committeemen attacking the majority of the comynittee was answered. In discussing The charge, the report said: “The statement as a whole in its in- sinuations of combination of unworthy. motlve, in its recital of alleged facts, is grpssly and maliciousiy untrue. It was Intended to convey the impression that the time for hearing cases was so limited as to prevent their being prop- erly presented to the committee. The untrutnfulness of this statement is clearly shown by the records of the committee and the newspaper reports of its deliberations. Not only did the rules make liberal provision for time in presenting the cases, but in every instance where the partles presenting the cases, or any member of the com- mittee, asked for an extension of time, it was granted.” Bias of Roosevelt Members. “The committee on credentials of the republican national convention consists of 53 members. The committee in ev- ery case sustained the cision of the natlonal committee, and in no case by mafjorities of less than two-thirds. This statement of fa ndorsed members of the committee, w ed patiently through all-day and all- night sessions to evidence and argu- ment in order to be able to judge intelligently and pass upon them hon- estly, should be a suffielent answer to the reekiess, ‘unwarranted and truthful assertions centalned in statement signed by 11 members of the committes, two of whom did rot at- tend sessions of the committes, did not by 40 listen- hear any of the evidence presented, and nearly all of whom indieated their bias by veting in every easa for the es known to be faverable te Mr sevelt, including numersus cases in which' the sction of the national cammittee had heen una Thit delegates.” DECLINES NOMINATION.
