"They are convinced that the third

with its plank of a tariff for revenue

POINTS EMPHASIZED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Reports give gratifying evidence
of Republican confidence and act?
ivity.
The American people are in no
need of quack nostrums, and are too
busy to listen to their vanden.
The fixing of prices by an inter?
state trade commission would ba
both despotic and socialistic.
The farmers of the Northweat are
convinced thnt the third term can?
didate is no longer in the running.
Great combinations of capital and
the cross roads grocery alike flhall
obey the law.
The only way to keep up wagefl
is to keep the tariff protective. __

TOOK DIP_IN RESERVOIR
Youth Didn't Know There Was
a Rule Against It.
Davld Gold believes that cleanliness
Ls next to godllneae, po ha took a bath
OO Sunday. Hnd he gom about lt in
the regular way maybo he would not
!have been arrested, bul David dldn't
, know.
In the Bummcr tlme tho clty provides
' free baths. as Indeed lt does ln the
wlnter if one only knows where to find
them; but there ls a strlct rule agalnst
any one bathing ln the reservolr ln
I'entral Park at any time of the year.
Davld did not know thia.
In a way Gold, who ls eighteen years
]old, was modest about lt aii. He
j walted untll the sun had gone down be
! hind the big apartment houses that
face the park on the west, and then.
seeking a secluded Bpot, removed hls
clothing. It dldn't take hlm long for
thnt, and then, bellevlng hlmJ-elf un
seen, he quietly Bllpped into the water
near 86th street.
Pretty soon two women happened
along. They aaw the boy's clothes
lying upon the bank, and thought that
maybe Bome one had committed sulelde.
They stralghtway looked for a pollce
man. Gold waa taken to tlie Arsenal
Btatlon, where he told hia story.
"It/night have been all rlght for you
to have taken a bath," sald the lleu?
tenant on the desk, "If only you had
gone about lt ln the rlght way." Then
he ?ent the young man to the night
court.

Who hirfld "Red Phil" Davidson, who
h?s livfld by the "white ?l?ve" traffic
for eight years, to murder "Big Jack"
Z?lig, th* gang leader who suppbe- tlie
assassins for Herman Rofent^al's mur?
der?
This is the question that has incited
Distnct Attorney Whitman to put forth
his best efforts in inveatigating th?
shooting of Zelig, which took place
thirty-seven hours before the time set
for starting Lieutenant Becker's trial,
at which tho slain qangman was to
have been a vital witness for the peo?
ple.
Scarcely any one who has keenly
looked into the case believes that Z?lig
was slain by Davidson on hifl own rn
itiative; opinion inclin?s to the view
rather that Davidson merely acted a?
an agent of parties interested in put
ting Zelig out of the way, just e? Her?
man Rosenthal was dispatched by as?
sassins alleged to have been hired by
interested parties a few hours befor*
th* Tenderloin gambler was to h_ve
revflaled the secr?ts of "tha System" to
Di6trict Attorney Whitmen.
Davidson, who has related several
stories since his arrest, each one con
tradictinjj the others, will probably tell
the truth with the electric chair ?tar
ing Ivm in th? face, before he has been
in the Tombs many hours longer.
This is the hope of the District At?
torney, and what Davidson may tell
when he has had time to understand
his position more clearly may result in
revelations showing an alliance be?
tween the criminal element and some
of the powers that be in this city that
will make the Neapohtan Camorra look
like a Dc**cas .ociety in comparison.
There are many striking coincidences
in the murders of Rosenthal and Zelig.
The gang leader was done to death by
a trafficker in "white -laves," who
could have been arrested by the police
at any momert. Rosenthal was mur
dered by men who were known crim
inals, and who, the suspicion exists,
could have been .mpriscned at pleasure
by the police. And both murdered men
were killed a few hours before they
were to have told what . they knew
about "the System."
Little progress was made l.y tlie a.i
thorltles yesterday |n searchlng for :i
inotive for the murder of "Big Jack"
Zellg. The confessed murderer of the
gangman Insisted that he shot Zelig on
Saturday night on a Second avenue
rear becauae Zellg had robbed hlm o.
118, but hardly any ono credlted th.
story.
When Deputy Police Commlssloner
Dough rty was asked last night 11 ho
liolieved that Davidson had acted on
his own volltton or was aetlng for
Othara ba made thls signiticant an
Bflrer:
?I am got praparad to say that
Dartdaon actad votuatartly or was in
Bp|-red by another. l'm not satisfled
Wltb ii 11 that I ha\e hoard. It's curl
ous, to say tlie least. that Zellg waa
killed on the eve of Becker'a trial; and
what makes me doubt thal he killed
Zellg over u trifling $1S ls tl.at he Ib
not B g.ingster or a killer by profes
sion."
This, too. was the oplnion of "Big
Jack' Zellg's lawyer, Judge charles O.
F. Wahl.', who ls also the counsel to
"Whit.-y" Lewis, "CJyp" the Hlood,
' Lelly" Loula and "Dago" Frank Clro
flcl. I.lkewise it was the oplnion of
tlie.-e four gangstera, who gave a
lengthy lntervlew to a group of news
paper men. And lt was gjag the opln?
ion of BUCb of Zellg's fellow gangstera
who are stlll out of Jall. Hut none
would tell the man or men they sus
poeted of hlrlng Davldson, though
"'*->-1>" and "I.efty" promlsed that "lt
would all come out later."
Davldson boasted of hls deed to the
reporters, saylng he believed he had
done a good job, and remarklng that
the police told hlm he had.
Revolver Treced.
Another lncldent of the day that
created conslderable discuaslon was the
dlscovery that Patroiman Chrlatopher
Maher. B_ the 5th avenue police sta?
tlon, ln Brooklyn, had been clear ln hla
Htatement concerning the revolver wlth
whlch Zellg was killed.
This revolver, No. 4,812, had been ihe
property of Maher. He told Commlfl
sloner Dougherty Saturday night, when
lt was found that it was hls revolver
that flgured ln the case, that he had
