BRUSH STADIUM, NBW YORK,
Oct. 11. The mad charge of the bug
legion storming the gates overshad
owed the entrance ot the athletos
today. Twenty thousand strong, and
weak, they swept through the atlles
at noon after tho National Commis
sion with a drowiy yawn had gra
ciously decided that It was time to
rise In their silken robes and permit
the rabble to enter the grounds.
Delicately plucking tho first roses
from their scented lo6ks they de
cided that said rabble had only
Sto6d there ten hours and might as
well be given permission to pay their
way In the gates.
Commission Needs Its Sleep.
This U all the rabble Is good for any
way, and the commission need Its
precious sleep so while the fates raleht
have been opened at 10 o'clock the
crowd was clicked outside, men, wom

Wood alone had been able to atop the

Special word came direct from Jiead
quarters that Speaker, slugger extra

be exceeded today. The home plate,
the pitchers' box, and the base lines
which had been covered during the

shape. The outfield and foul lines was
soggy and slippery enough to give con

Samuel Aronowitz Tells Sen
ators How Roosevelt
Was Betrayed.
PRESIDENT'S MEN
COLONEL'S WATCHERS
Stotesbury's Testimony Before
Clapp Committee Confirms
Bull Moose Stand.
By JUDSOIf C. WELLIVKR.
An edifying account of how the
Tatt organization in New York
county used the Roosevelt campaign
funds In the primary fight there, was
detailed to the Clapp committee this
morning. Samuel Aronowitz was
put on at his own request, he hav
ing read some testimony that he
thought reflected on himself, and
come down from New York with
blood In his eye.
When Ogden Mills, of the Tatt
forces, was on tho stand tho other
day, he painted a strong story ot
the wickedness of the Roosevelt or
ganization in New York county. He
knew It must have spent an awful
amount of money, and Just bought
up votes on all sides.
,For specific detail, Mills told ot
Samuel Aronowitz, Roosevelt leader
In one district, who, he alleged, had
a vast corruption fund. Today Aro-
nowlts told how the corrupter got
corrupted, and the, fund worked for
Taft Instead of Roosevelt,
"' '-- Here'r-Hoir It Was.
It was this , way:
Aronowitz bad been provided with WOO
by William Hafpln, county Roosevelt
leader. This money was to be used to
hire watchers at tne polling places.
After he got the money, Aronowitz
said he was approached by Bam
Koenlng, former Secretary of State ot
New York and Taft manager In the
city. It was a sad story that Arono
witz told, but the long and short of it
was that Koenlg got busy with the In
nocent Aronowitz, and partly by urgen
cies, partly by coercion, forced Arono-
"s to name as the Roosevelt watch
ers, men suggested by Koenlg!
Sorry He Did It
Aronowitz did It, and he was sorry;
he couldn't very well help himself as
he viewed the matter. The committee
and the audience sympathised with him,
and his testimony was one of the bright
pots In a dull day's proceedings; it
was ono of the funniest Incidents the
Inquiry has developed. Incidentally,
quite aside from Its humorous aspects.
It excellently Illustrated the sort of
fight the Roosevelt force confronted In
New York county.
There were some flukes In the testi
mony today, too. Sensations that were
expected utterly failed to develop. Thus
William 8. Edwards had been called
because some West Virginia Taft folks
had assured the committee that Ed
wands, a Roosevelt leader In that 8tate,
spent money like water; sowed the
Btate with It: horrible corruption; vil
lainous scandal If Edwards coull
just once be put under oath, he would
tell a laie inai wouiu muxe wie jiuusb
velt campaign a stench In all nice nor
trns.
No Scandal Developed.
Well, Kdwards was duly put; and lr
stead of developing a scandal, he said
he gave $2,000, and supposed altogether
from 13,000 to 31.000 was vpent "We
didn't need money," he said. "Tha
State was and Is nine tc one for Roose
velt." Then there was the case of Fred C.
Schwcdtman. formerly secretary of the
National Manufacturers' Association.
There had been promise that If called
he would tell a harrowing story of a
huge deal between that association and
the Taft people, by which certain sched
ules of the tariff were guaranteed
against interference. Schwedtman
proved utterly Innocent of such guile,
and sworo to a straight and quite harm
less story, which admitted that the
manufacturers generally contributed to
the Republican campaign iu'"a, dui
didn't 'take or attempt any concerted
nt nrirnntsA action.
E. T. Stotesbury. of Philadelphia,
banker, of Drexel & Co., was the first
witness. He collected the funds In

MRS. HERMAN ROSENTAL, Wife of the Murdered Gambler.
"Digo Frank" and "Lefty Louie" Said to
Have Weakened Witness Points Out
ii
Whitey Lewis" As Slayer.
NBW YORK, Oct. 11. A sensation was sprung In the trial of Police
Lieutenant Becker, charged with the murder ot Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler, when It was announced just before the first witness took the
stand today that "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg and "Dago Frank" Clroflcl, two
of the four gunmen charged with the actual shooting ot Rosenthal, were
ready to confess and Implicate Becker as the head and front ot the con
spiracy that accomplished Rosenthal's murder.
GUNMEN IN COURT.
The four alleged gunmen were brought
Into court, but Frank Ryan positively
refused to Identify them and Moss
failed to get him to admit that he had
been threatened with death If he told
what he knew.
The next witness, John Stanlsh, an
Austrian,. poslUvely Identified "Whitey"
Lewis as the man he saw shoot at
Rosenthal. He said that he "thought"
"Ovn the Blood" "looked like" one of
the other men he saw running away
from the scene, but could not Identify
cither of the other two members of tho
quartet.
Ryan, a chauffeur, who was at the
Metropole Hotel early on the morning
of July 1 when Rosenthal was shot to
death, was the first witness called.
He testified that "Just as Rosenthal
came out of the hotel four men crept
up to him."
From where he stood he saw only
one man pull a gun and he fired at
Rosenthal.
Run to Automobile.
Immediately after the shooting ho
aid th other three men ran toward
an automobile that was standing; on I
the street. Assistant District Altor-
ney Moss got a Jolt when the witness j
said he had not seen the lour gunmen
since the shooting. Ryan was In court
yesterday when the four accused men
were brought In and three of them
Identified by Louis Krause. He qulx
sed the witness sharply and Attor
ney Mclntyre, counsel for the defense,
objected and was sustained on the
ground the questioning was along the
ground ot cross-examining.
Before the witness took the stand
he had given District Attorney Whit
man to understand that he could
Identify "Whitey" Lewis as the man
who shot Rosenthal, but he was a
lamentable failure.
The four gunmen were brought from
the Tombs and lined up before Ryan.
"Which of these four men did you
see fire that shot?" asked the prose
cutor. .
Every suspicious person seen about
the criminal courts building was kept
on the move today and the most elab
orate precautions were taaen to pro
vent
nt a gone outbreak at the trial.
Stool pigeons'' reported to District
Attorney Whitman during the night
that there had been a number of secret
conferences on the East Side attended
by gunmen such as those accused of
killing Rosenthal.
Two detectives were today aslgned to
guard Louts Krause, the Hungarian
waiter, who Identified "Gyp the Blood,"'
"Whitey" Lewis, and "Lefty Louie" as
the men who fired the shots that killed
Rosenthal. The district attorney knows
that the life of Krause has been
threatened. His famllv has been sent
out of town, and he was today ordered
to change his boarding house.
Important Testimony.
It was expected that before adjourn
ment tonight tha testimony of Jack Rosa
and Mrs. Rosenthal, widow of the as
sassinated gambler, would be before the
Jury.
Nearly an hour before the trial be
gan Becker was taken from the Tombs
to the Criminal Courts building, and
there held a long conference with his
chief attorney, John F. Mclntyre, In an
anteroom. lie appeared nervous, and
there were dark circles under his eyes.

"He did not leave us any Intimation
or his act." said nis Drotner, ueorge w.
