It is suggest ed that the tolls at Panama start with the relatively low rate to which the Suez charges will have been brought in 1913, at the end of 43 years of traf- fic development.” PREMIER CANALEJAS BURIED WITH HONORS Assassin Dies Without Explaining Mo- tive of the Crime.

Lured by Jack Rose CALLED TO SCENE OF MURDER ON PRETEXT. DEFENCE OPENS CASE Claims Actual Shooting Was Done by Webber, Fear of Jack Zelig Motive of Crime. Vallon and a Stranger— New York, Nov. 13—The state rest- ed its case tonight in the trial of the four gangsters accused of murdering | the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, at the instigation of Charles Becker, and counsel for the gunmen opened for the defense, declaring pe would show that none of the four Yook part in the shooting or were in any way connected with the plot to kill 1he gambler. He declared he would show the quartette were lured to the scene on a pretext and that the shooting in front of the Metropole, where Rosenthal was laid low, was done by Bridgie Webber, Har- ry Vallon and a raysterious stranger who was thus brought into the case for the first time. The dofense’s outline of its case traced by the gunmens’ attorney, C. G. F. Wahle, was not concluded until nearly 7 o'clock tonight. Court was then adjourned until tomorrow, when the first witness for the defense will take the stand. Gunmen to Go on Stand. When the prosecutlon’s last witness had testified Justice Goff denied Mr. Wahle's motion to dismiss the indict- ment and acquit the defendants. The lawyer then outlined his defense after going into a personal history of each of his clients, declaring that bad as their records might be they were not guilty of the Rosenthal murder. He announced his intention of placing each of the gunmen on the stand. Mr. Wahle declared he would show that Frank Cirofici, one of the four, was at home in his own flat at the time of the shooting and that it was only their interest in thelr friend, Jack Zelig, the East Side gang leader, that had brought any of them near the seene of the crime on the morning of July 16. Only Cirofici was in the so-called murder car that night, the attorney said, and this was some time before the shooting. Rose Feared Jack Zelig. The fear of Jack Rose, the informer, of Jack Zelig's vengeance, growing out of the alleged frameup of the gang leader when he was arrested on & charge of carrying concealed weapons, was the key to such negotiations as took place between the gunmen and Rose, counsei- declared. It was repre- sented to his clients, Mr. Wahle sald, that Rose, having heard that Zelig sus- pected him of inspiring the frameup, wished to show Zelig's friends that the suspicion was entirely unfounded. On the night of the murder, counsel con- tinued, his clients had béen summoned to Bridgie Webber's place on Forty- second street. A Stranger Involved. Cirofici, who was in the Bronx, was brought down by Rose, Sam Schepps and Vallon in the car, while the others, summoned by telephone from a restau- rant on Second avenue, came by the subway, Mr. Wahle continued. They went into Webber's resort, where they met Rose, Webber, Vallon, Schepps and a ptranger, whose identity Mr. Wahle did not disclose. Rose, the attorney said, assured them that he would have Steinert and White, the police officers who were accused of executing the actual freming up of Zelig, meet the quartette of Zellg's friends and assure them that neither Rose nor Becker in- spired the frameup, but that the orders for that proceeding came from ‘“head- quarters.” Lured to the Metropole. Rose. Weber, Vallon, Schepps and the fifth man, the stranger, went out, leaving the men talking, Mr. Wahle continued, but the ffth man shortly came back and told them Rose wanted to see them in the Metropole. “Dago Frank” decided he had more tmportant business downtown and went home to his fiat, Mr. Wahle went on/ but the others ' accompanied the stranger around toward the hotel, stopping for a moment opposite the Cédillac, a short distance from the Metropole. Opposite the Metropole, according to Mr. Wahle, Webber, Schepps, Vallon and Rose wers standing. Continuing, Mr. Wahle said: “The fifth man in the party said: ‘Wat till T tell them you are her Webber, Vallon and Stranger Did the Shooting. The fifth man then went-across to Webber, Vallon, Schepps and Rose and Horowitz, Rosenberg and Mueller started to- walk east In Forty-third street. Webber and Vallon, who were opposite the Metropole, crossed over and with the man whose name has not yet been disclosed started to shoot, and these boys, fearing another China- town episode, &tarted home by way of the subway. This group of five men, Vallon, Rose, Schepps, Webber and the fifth man, divided. The fifth man disappeared in a lot of building ma- terfal in front of the addition tq the Hotel Woodstock. He ran along the north side of Forty-third strest and never entered the car atanding on the south side of the street Fear of Jack Zelig the Motive. “That, gentlemen of tae jury, is the story of the killing of Herman Rosen- thal, and we will prove it out of the mouths of the peopis Who were with Herman Rosenthal when he was killed, by disinterestod witnosses and by peo- ple who will prove that this was a scheme to got these boys there and put the erime upon them. We will prove that the motive behind the whole affair was the fear of Jack Zeliz.” Steamship Arrivals. Genea, Nov. 0.—Arrived, _steamer Prineipe di_Piemonte, New York.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 13—Accord- ing to Inspectors for the Indiana rail- | way commission, the disastrous wreck on the Cincinnati, Hamlilton & Dayton railway at Irving, a_suburb, at an early hour today, in which fifteen per- sons lost their lives and 17 others were seriously injured, was the Te- sult of the company’s falure to install a block signal system as it had been ordered to do by the commission. The order was issued some months ago and the system was to have been com- pleted by January 1, 1913. Switch to Siding Left Open. Had this order been obeyed, the commission says, the wreck would not have occurred. The wreck was caused by the failure of the head brakeman to close the switch to a siding on which a heavy fréight train had been run to let the rapidly running passen- ger train, which was more than an hour late, pass. Carl Gross, the head brakeman, has assumed blame for the disaster. He has not been arrested, but 1s under police guard at a hos. pital where he lies with a broken leg. Later he denied he was responsible, saying he was under the influence of an anaesthetic when he made the first | statement, According to the commis- sion, this switeh eould net have been loft open had a bleck system beem in operation.

The engineer was trylng to make up the time and was running more than for- ty miles an hour at the time of the bead-on collision with the heavy freight train on the siding. He had been given a clear track and had not ap- parently intended to slow up until he had entered the yard limits. Both he and his fireman were found dead In the cab of thelr engine, death being instantaneous, according to indica- tions. theatrical man, Los Two Cars Demolished. All the dead passengers were in the | smoker and day coach, which were immediately behind the steel reinforced mail car that acted as a battering ram.
