VOLUME 53. THE GATHERING STORM. P's a cloud as big as a man’s hand New York’s summer scandal suddenly grows and darkens the whole horizon. A gambling house keeper accuses @ police lieutenant of sharing profits in the game. The charges are full and detailed. The District-Attorney is ready to investigate those charges and the police attitude toward gambling generally. All at once, before the accusing gamester has time to become more troublesome, he is shot to death in cold blood one early morning in a public street, by five men who hustle into an automobile and speed away. The conclusion is plain. The nan was put out of the way by those who feared what he might tell. Who were the murderers? Whom did they serve? Questions not to be answered hastily or with @ ready guess. Those whom the dead man had directly accused were not the only ones who might have suffered from what he could reveal. We have had gambling feuds before in this city. They are nothing new. Everybody knows how readily gamesters pull their shooting irons. Cards and pistols are classically inseparable. Why, is an interesting question. Probably because a reckless following of chances breeds a reckless levity toward law and life. The gambler’s revenge is apt to De ewift, cool and complete. ne What the murder of Rosenthal may finally reveal remains to bo seen, What it has already revealed is bad enough. Whether with connivance and protection or not there plainly exist in this city organized agencies for carrying out the most cold- blooded plottings of erime or revenge. ‘ The bullets that killed Rosenthal were fired by no chance enemy or solitary crank. Five men do not drive up to,a well known hotel restaurant in an automobile, lure their victim out, plant five well di- rected shots in his head, rush to their waiting car and dash away unless there has been a carefully prearranged plan, instigated, per- laps, by widely ramified motives of interest or “getting even.” Nor are men found tp do these things without strong chances of protec- tion or influence in case they get into the nets. It is high time for a thorough investigation of contract crime in New York. Blue uniforms and brass buttons have somehow lost Lrightness and fail to inspire the confidence they should. The police have been too close to politics, too often arm in arm with constitu: ents, too near the jobs and underground work of back room politi- cians and vote rakers. Instead of lifting itself strong, independent, fearless, implacable, the “arm of the law” has too often shown tho crooked wrist and sly palm of the grafter and bribe inviter. The killing of Rosenthal should lead to a vigorous scouring of police badges. We want no established societies for the trusty ro- moval of Anyman’s enemies hereabouts. —__-4-2 WHOSE FAULT? Ay “ets srtet enh BOY is trusted by his employers with a satchel which he knows and they know that he knows holds $500,000 in checks and cash. That very little of it is negotiable the boy does not discover until temptation and longing to sce the world have done the trick. Of course he is caught. Why do employers put $500,000 under the noses of seventeen- year-old employees? Until a boy has been thoroughly tested in small ways, until habit and character have been firmly built up, such a situation is an unnecessary strain and may well ruin a life that _ otherwise might have been gradually strengthened to meet \.eponsibilities. - Much older people of known standing might have had some tick- lish moments with that valise.
