Blames "New nich" for Srlem" ! n..... m . .. . - - ..v . . . . , a nun jiiurr.i Newport, Aug. 6. -The summer resi dents of this city, In tho opinion of Mrs. O. II, P. Belmont, are entirely to blame If there exists a graft system between somo of their servants and storekeep ers. If theso summer people nro will ing to pay moro than tho commodities of life are worth, in disregard of the graft Insldo and outsldo of their house hold, Mrs. Helmont says that It Is a sign of the demoralization of tho newly rich. This statement was made by Mrs. Bel mont In a letter addressed to-day to Frederick p. Oarrettson, a prominent Newport grocer, who has made n cm sndc against tho giving of commissions by storekeepers. The letter says: "The people of Newport who deal with their shopkeepers nnd nllow tho graft system to continue, they, the summer people, aru entirely to blame. "I do not think any onj moro than myself npproved of tho attitude you took on this question last year. If tho summer people, uro willing to pay more than twice what food and the commodi ties of llfo aro worth because they are utterly nnd absolutely regardless of the cost, inside and outsldo their house holds, 1 think It only another sign of the demoralization of our nouveaux riches and ono more harm they do the com munity at large. "It seems to me that we, who en courage commerce, should Mud tho time to see to It that those who serve us should bo obliged to do so honestly, tin molested by a system of gruft radiat ing from our kitchens and pantrtc?," continues the letter. "It is easier, I confess, to let things slide, but we owe more obligation to our city, nnd this Is one of the greatest. It rests much with the women of the household to handle this complex ques tion, nnd if the union that shculd exist between women could once be cemented nnd women's true status once acknowl edged she will then have the weapons and the needs to accomplish better re sults In economies, nt least as far as tin food question Is concerned. If not far more reaching. "The giving of the ballot to women alone can regulate all matters pertain ing to the house and also awaken In her tho necessity of her undertaking her civic duties."

CopyrloM, DEALINGS WITH BECKER Gives Whitman Document In His Own Hand, Telling of Graft and Murder. UURNS VERIFIES STORY Finds That Becker's Telephone Was Hunjr, nt Time Hose Says He Galled. District Attorney Whitman gave William .1. Hums last night n thirty eight page statement In .Tack Rose's handwriting prepared In tho West flldo court prison yesterday. The statement contains a list of gam blers from whom Rose collected money for Lieut. Hecker. the rates paid by gumbllng houses nnd on estimate of tho total amount of cash that Rose turned over to Decker. Mr. Burns, who Is now In personal charge of the investigation to find out who were the members of the police ring Hint divided the money collected by Becker, will use the statement ob tained yesterday as a basis for his work. It Is known that Mr. Utirns regards the statement as of the utmost impor tance. It supplies him with the name? of many men who. Rose suys. can tell the truth about the crooked men In and out of tin Police Department, Rose Included In his thirty-eight page statement not only a detailed account of his dealings with Heeker as the col hctor of blackmail, but nlso his rela tlons with Keeker that had to do with the killing of Rosenthal and tho strat egy that Keeker employed ufter the murder. William J. Hums turned over to the District Attorney corroboration of one of the main points of Rose's confession Implicating Lieut. Uecker in the mur uer. .nr. (turns i on nil a recoru oi a telephone cull that was made from the Times llulldlng to Hecker'a house with in n few minutes after Rosenthal was shot dead In front of the Hotel Metro- pole. Rose had said in lilt ronfesslon that he culled up Lieut. Uecker Immediately after tho murder and told Keeker that the Job had been completed. Still another Important success of tho District Attorney was In obtaining from William Shapiro, the chauffeur of Ro senthal's murderers, an admission that he bad lied when ho said he dropped the murderers at Third avenue and I'orty-nlnth street, after his gray car hail distanced the police taxlcab. Shapiro' swears now tliat ho took the Pistol men to Harlem and left them at the corner of Lenox avenue and l!Sth street. One week ago last Monday night, when Rose. In a confession that amazed the city, said that he had bean Reck- rr's collector fur a year before Keeker ordered htm to have Rosenthal killed ,m l'-.mlt,i-U to supply the Dlsirlct At- '" a iiioiuiiiion oi gamming houses which had been blackmailed by Uecker, with the names of gamblers who knew that Becker had been get ting the money, with the rates nt which these gamblers had been assessed and with as close an approximation as pos sible of the amount of cash he himself hud put Into Becker's hands. Yesterday, in the West Side court prison, where District Attorney Whit man had a long talk with lilm, Rose made good his promise. When Mr. Whitman called Roe had rendy n stutement which he had been preparing for a week. It covered thlrty-elsht closely written pages. Rose writes a fair hand, eusily read. But his peculiarity is on entire lack of punctuation. Rose has no use what ever for periods or commas. His sen tences melt Into ench other in rather a curious way. For the most part his Hngllsh Is pretty good, although now and then he slips Into the ver nacular of gamblers, or Introduces a picturesque phrase of slang. Ho seemed rather proud of the product of his experience and bruin und appeared to be pleased when he had put the state ment Into tho District Attorney's hands. Going buck to tho start of things, Rose tells the story of how he first met Lieut. Becker nnd agreed to uct as collector for Becker. Somewhat more than a year ago lloso's gambling house was raided by Becker's men. The raid was a particularly brisk und business like, affair. Rose's effects were consid erably mussed up and his men were roughly treated. Some of them were taken to ttio Kssex Market court. Hav ing had some experience with policemen previously, when he hud been Herman Itosunthal'H partner nnd when ho had been spinning roulette wheels on his own account, tho amiable Roso pro tested to Becker as sharply as he knew how. Meeting Becker that day In court ho asked why he had got the worst of II. Becker smlM, Rose says, and replied thnt he had only acted under order and that he Uad to do his duty "They tell me you know a lot about gamblers," snld Becker. Rose told tho lieutenant that after ft uood many yearn of deullng with tho fraternity ho oimht to know 11 lot of them. Becker, according to Rose, ssked him then to bu a stool pigeon and to sneak In and out of gambling houses collecting evidence. Roso says he de dined 11 stool pigeon's Job, and that Becker then asked him If thero wasn't some way they could work together, Rose thought over tho situation and finally told Becker Unit ho saw no rea son why they could not make a deal, and tho upshot of their ugreenrent wan that Becker got Roso to make the rounds of gambling houses collecting 1 monthly graft. The rates, says Rose, varied according i to tlie size of the game and the standing i "f ""' Kamesters with tho police. From tills man (Rose supplied the name) ho collected JliSO a month. From Hint man (I lose r,uc tlie iisnie) ho took 130(1 a month. And on down I ho list nf kwti bleis with whom Becker had dealt Roso supplied the monthly rates of pajmeiu. They ran In 'in V-" u month up to J.'Un. At the Hum of his greatest activity j- CoKflnucd on Fourth Pagt, T. R. LEADS Df KANSAS. Primary Polls l)Uplaerf Mats Progressive Candidates. Tnr-EKA.

WILSON 2 TO 1 FAVORITE. Wall Street Betting Shows Tall Weaker Than Hooarvelt. netting on tho election, now that lite Hull Mooso have cleared their paths for action, is on in earnest, and from now, It Is said by men who havo had consider able to do with election betting in former years, there ought to be activity in the betting on the three cornered fight. Wall Street betting has never been the big thing it was bofore the State frowned upon it. The number nnd tho size of the bets that have appeared nhovn the surface havo been very moderate affairs. Wall Street has seen only a trifling amount or real election or nomination wagering this year up to now. Wilson is a 3 to 1 favorite. A heavy bet was recorded in the financial district, yesterday on the Governor nt theso odds against the field. Thcso odds have ruled on Wilson for some time, having strength ened In the Governor's favor from odds of 10 to 7 and 10 to 0 to Uio present figures.

SMALL NAVY MEN WIN ! DAY WITH NO QUORUM poire Two tlattlcftliip Men to Adjourn Without Rescind ing Former Action. AWAIT WILSON SPEECH Underwood Advises Delay Until the Candidate Talks nt Notification. Washington, Aug. C. A unions sit uation confronts the Democratic party as a result of the success ot the "small navy" men In preventing a quorum at the caucus called for to-night nt the In stance of the House leaders for the pur pose of rescinding previous action against additions to the battleship fleet. Of tho 228 Democratic members of the Houso only 88 responded when tho roll was called. As n result the "cau cus" adjourned without action. Speaker Clark and Lender Under wood made conciliatory speeches, but Houso Democrnts generally admit that the feeling between tho pro-battleship mcmber.s und the "small navy" men Is uglier than ever. The Indications are that anti-navy men will win the present tight unless Gov. Woodrow Wilson, in his speech accepting the nomination, favors addl tlons to the navy. In bis speech to night Representative L'nderwood said In substance: "Let us nil read the speech of ac ceplauce ot Gov. Wilson, then hold an other caucus anil pass a resolution ap proving the Incorporation In this year's nuvnl bill of an amendment authorizing tho construction of one dreadnought." This .statement was wildly cheered. It was taken to mean that Mr. Under wood has knowledge that Gov. Wil son will cast the weight of his influence with the Democratic leaders who are fighting for navy extensions. Thrre were charges of bad faith fol lowing the caucus to-night. In an effort to smoke out many "small navy" men who are lighting the battleship programme under cover Representative rlulzcr of New York nnd other Demo crats who are lending the fight for tho navy endeavored to effect an arrange ment whereby the roll call at to-night's session would be given to the public. Representative. Burleson of Texas, chairman of the caucus, who was severely criticised for his failure to give to tho public the roll call at the pre vious caucus, absolutely refused to moko known the names of those who 4f4ld to put In nn appearance to-night. According to Mr. Sulzer nn under standing was reached nt the session that "u.l"u uc ,nlluo I,UD"C' t- ii'ier Democrntlo caucus rule nil record votes are entered In tho Journal and the proceedings get publicity. Rep resentative Humphrey of Mississippi asked Chairman Burleson If the rule was to bo observed In this Instance. Chairman Burleson replied in Jhe affirmative. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Burleson refused to give ucccss to the roll call. Arrangements nro already under way to hold another caucus on the subject of navy extensions. It Is the general understanding that the Houso Demo crats will be assembled Immediately fol lowing the publication of tho speech ot Gov. Wilson accepting the Presidential nomination. The "small navy" men have practi cally abandoned hope of defeating a one battleship resolution nnd the pro-navy men concedo that ns things now stand they will have to be content with one Dreadnought. Sprnker Clark and Mr. I nderwood will work to-morrow to bring their followers Into line. They think thnt when the next navy caucus Is called to order A quorum will be present nnd that a one battleship resolu tlon will be passed. 500 EXCURSIONISTS SEARCHED.
