Some of the democrats returning from the state convention at Grand Island claim that there was considerable dissatisfaction be cause Mr. Shallenberger, democratic can didate for the senate, did not put in an appearance. Instead he sent an explana tion why he could not come, stating that his chautauqua engagements were of such importance that the lyceum bureau would not let him off. Some of them say that Mr. Shallenberger knew three months ago that he was a candidate for the senate and also knew when the convention would be held and could have made arrange ments to have been there had he wanted to. In their estimation it looks as If the gentleman was afraid he might injur-; his senatorial chances If he attended the convention and was asked to take one side or the other of the Bryan contro versy.

NEW YORK, Aug. l.-Pollce Lieuten ant Charles Becker, head of the "strong arm" squad of gambling raiders, who is charged with instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, was tonight further Implicated In the plot to get rid of th gambler when "Bald Jack" Rosa and "Bridgle" Webber added another chap ter to their already amazing allegations. They told District Attorney Whitman that Rosenthal was to have been killed at the Instigation of Becker ten days before he actually met his fate and that the plot failed because the underworld thugs selected to do the murder lost their nerve at the last moment. The district attorney spent the greater part of the afternoon with Rose and Webber in their cells at the west side police station and under the promise of leniency which the prosecutor has given them they talked freely. They gave lit tle additional information regarding the $2,400,000 fund which they alleged illegal resorts paid for police protection in the city every year but their story of the al leged anxiety of Lieutenant Becker be cause of Gambler Rosenthal's threatened exposures was amplified to the district attorney and, in the prosecutor's opinion, he strengthened his evidence against Becker. "The plot that failed" was xo have been brought to Its climax at the Garden res taurant on Fifty-first street on Satur day night, July 6, when Rosenthal and his wife were dining there, according to the account told by Rose to the district attorney as spokesman for the two gamblers. With Rosenthal and his wife at the time was Jack Sullivan, the news boy, now under arrest for alleged com plicity in the murder. Thnm Lose Nerve. Rose himself engineered the "job" and brought to the restaurant "a fleet of thugs" who were to do the actual shoot ing, according to Rose. Two of the hired assassins were "Gyp the Blood" and "Lefty Louie," who are wanted by the police as two of the men who actually shot Rosenthal ten days later in front of the Metropole hotel. Becker at that time was downtown, Rose said, waiting for the murder plot to be consummated. "Becker had talked with me eve:y day," Rose said. "He kept saying to me, 'Why don't you kill this fellow off?' Rosenthal would have been killed off that night if the bunch had not lost their nerve. They got the notion after they reached the restaurant that a detective was on to them. After giving up the assassination we went to 'Bridgle' Webber's place and there we met Becker. He denounced us all up and down. " 'You are a let of coward),' he Laid. 'I'll have to do it myself.' " Rosenthal, it was recalled by the dis trict attorney when he heard the story, had but a few days before this ma'lo U complaint against Becker, charg ng that the police lieutenant was a partner In his gambling house. Although Becker, still in the Tom'.is, has thus far refused to make any state ment other than he Is Innocent and that bis plight Is the result of a "frameup'' on the part of his enemies in the gam bling fraternity. Rose predicted to the district attorney today that the police lieutenant would eventually break down and tell all he knew. The district attorney expressed confi dence tonight that If Becker would talk frankly his evidence would open the door to the larger phase of the Rosenthal case, namely, the general extent pf the police graft system in which Rose has declared several high police officials are Involved. So far Mr. Whitman has ob tained little real evidence against the men mentioned by Rose as heads of the "four graft bureaus" through which Rose alleged that about $600,000 each was col lected as vice protection money and dis tributed. v The district attorney is not relying solely upon Rose's story. He expects to call before the grand Jury scores of wit nesses who may have knowledrfo of graft relations between the gamblers and ;ha police. "Bridgle" Webber told the district at torney today that his own payment to Becker for police protection of his gam bling house was $300 a month, but that this rate was a small one compared with the sums levied on larger establishments. Telia More of Graft. He and Rose both said that in Man hattan alone there wert probably 100 gambling houses paying tribute to the police, and that the sum total of $2,400,000 paid annually was a conservative figure. Webber Incidentally said today that Becker was present when the money was produced which went to thugs hired to kill Rosenthal. Shortly after tho murder, he said, Becker met Rose and Webber in front of the Murray Hill baths and said: "Ni'W Bridgle, you will have to give the boys some money to get out of town. I'll fix it up with you later." Webber said he then handed $1,000 In large bills to Rose, who later handed It to Sam Schepps, and on that afternoon Schepps gave it to "Gyp The Blood" and Lefty Louie in front of the Times build ing. In corroboration of this assertion ct Webber's, the district attorney has the names of two witnesses, one a woman, who, he said, would testify that they saw Webber and Rose talking to Beclwr in front of the Murray Hill baths shortly after the murder. "Daa-o Frank" Breaks Down. After his arraignment again late today before Coroner Felnberg, "Daso Frank" Clroflci, who is charged with being cne of tt actual slayers of Roseiithal, was led weepInK back to his cell In the Tombs.
