NEW ORLEANS. Weather develop

expected. The map shows hardly any
rains in Texas, though private ad vie 2g
received from a good many points in
nrth Texas reported raihfall and this
may be confirmed later by the govern
ment records. The rainfall yesterday in
the Atlantic coast districts was rather
heavy and there was also some heavy
rains in the Vicksburg district. Indica
tions are for rains to -come in southwest
Texas today, as there is disturbance
over the upper Rio Grande section and
this rain development. should work into
the State Thursday. .
Liverpool shows remarkable steadiness
and only partly followed our decline
yesterday. Spots quoted seven- lower.
Bales 8,00 bales. Our correspondents
write demand continues so good that
Manchester is continually booking orders
ahead. Mills are Inclined to ro short at
this level but are nervous and cover on
the slightest unfavorable crop news.
Opening seven higher, buying by loners
who had realized yesterday carried Oc
tober here to 12.50 In the early trading.
The incentive to buy was the deficient
rainfall in Texas and anticipation of a
buiitsn weeklv weather reoort at 11
a. m.
New York wires: However, were not
so encouraging and when the weather
map was completed and suggested the
possibility of further rains for Texas,
the market fell below opening prices.
Exporter say there are somewhat more
offerings from the Interior for forward
delivery.

TWELVE PROTESTS FROM
TWO STREETS ARE
RECEIVED
The board of aldermen laat night
gTanted the petition of the commit
tee to furnish the money to employ
a clerk or assistant to the commit
tee to "take care of the work of se
curing: waivers irom abutting prop
erty owners where permanent pav
ing districts have been laid out, In
order to obviate any misunderstand
ing or entanglements aa to the . 20
per cent clause in the charter which
is the limning ratio of the amount
of the assessed taxable value of
property that may be charged for
permanent street Improvement work
against such property.
Alderman Wilkes repcrted that the s
committee had gone over only two
streets thus far. North Graham and
North Pine, and that it had about 12
protests in hand.
The city, in , conformity with the
suggestion of the city attorney at a
recent session of the board of alder
men, will undertake to secure waiv
ers from every abutting property
owner in each permanent improve
ment district, before the street work
in the said district is started. Only
in this way, it has been pointed out,
can the city insure itself that there
will be no trouble ' in collecting the
full assessments made ' out against
each piece of property fronting . on
the streets to be permanently im
proved. The waivers set forth that
the owner waives his legal rights as
to the 20 per cent clause and that he
is willing to pay, and agrees to pay,
the full assessment against his propr .
erty wherever the aaid assessment
exceeds 20 per cent of the assessed
taxable value of the said property,
based on the assessments made . by
the board of assessors in 1910.
The board of aldermen decided
that these waivers must be had from
every property owner interested be
fore it would be feasible to begin
work in any permanent improvement
district, and suggested that those
who had been, active in circulating
the petitions for permanent paving
should now assist the committee in
getting the signatures to these waiv
ers. '
It is the purpose of the board to
procure either a waiver or a written
declaration that the property owner
will not pay over , the 20 per cent of
his assessed taxable value for. perma
nent work. Anything equal to or
under 20 per cent of the assessed
taxable value of 4he property can be
collected without the walvver, but It
Is to know just what the situation is
confronting it,, that the board has orr
dered that these waivers or declara
tions shall he procured from every
abutting prftperty owner in any per
manent improvement district Whose
assessment is more than the 20 per
cent limit fixed by the city charter.

at headquarters could lrut have caus
ed any more consternation in police
circles. . Police Commissioner Waldo
and District Attorney Whitman, both
of whom were out of town, cut short
their vacations to start the inquiry.
Commissioner Waldo, af er making
himself acquainted with the situation
yesterday, wrote" a formal letter to
the district attorney, demanding an
investigation bj that official rather
than through his own department. He
said that Rosenthal's accusation "was
not so much a charge of bad disci
pline in the department as one of out-and-out
crime which, if worthy of se
rious consideration at ah, would be
worthy of adjudication before a regu
larly, constituted tribunal. District
Attorney Whitman forthwith an
nounced, that he would begin a for
mal investigation today.
. ... , , Sensational Climax.
- 'The .murder of Rosenthal before
daybreak brought th'e situation . to a
sensational climax.
The gambler left his, home late last
night, telling his wife that he had
an4 appointment to meet Police Lieu
tenant Becker at the Hotel Metropole,
at. the corner of Broadway and Forty
third street. . -
' Rosenthal reached the hoteL where
he was' well known, some time after
after midnight, .and. sat down alone,
smoking a cigar and whistling as he
watched the usual midnight crowd in
Times Square Outside.
Shortly before 2 o'clock a Blate
oblored automobile drew up. in front.
One of its six passenger got out and
walked into the hotel, beckoning to
Rosenthal. .-
.' ' ' Four Bullets Find Target.
'' ''Herman," he called, -"come out
here," some one wants to see you."
Rosenthal, without hesitation, came
out. ;
He had reached a point not more
than a dozen feet from the door when
a volley of shots rang out from the
slate-colored car. Foul of them found
their target sand Rosenthal fell dead
Instantly with a bullet In his brain.
'Almost before the crowd on the
sidewalk and in the - lobby realized
that a shot llafl been p red, the tour
ing car was under way and disappear
ing in the direction of Fifth avenue.
Police Lieutenant File of . ithe cen
tral office was dining In the Metrop'ole
with a, party of friends when, he .heard
the shots and ran outv Without -waiting
for details, he Jumped into A t&xU
cab and started Jn pursuit pf . the . big
slate-colored tracer. He gave chase for 1
a mile across Jown" before hiiTslower
the Square
em
mm?
machine dropped hopelessly behind.
Witnesses Tragedy. .
The : five shots that Were fired . at
Rosenthal attracted a large crowd
and a few minutes after the .Incident
the street about the hotel was filled
with hundreds of persons. Reserves
from several of the iearby stations
were turned out to keep them in or
der.'", 'j
James Considine, one ol the owners
of the hotel, witnessed the shooting
from the rear of the lobby. He said:
"I ' saw Rosenthal come from the
hotel. He started as though he were
going, to Broadway and then stopped
suddenly.
"I don't know whether he saw the
men In the machine or not, but the
sudden way In which he stopped con
vinced me-that he. was afraid some
thing was about to happen to him.
know that one of the men in the car
was a policeman."
, Wife Expected 1 rouble.
Mrs. Rosenthal, the gambler's wife,
was driven almost frautic when the
messenger told her thnt her husband
had been slain. '
"This is the police again," she ex
claimed.. ';ir is Just what I expected;
I stayed up fearing that ' Herman
would not get back, safe."
District Attorney Whitman was no
tified of the murder within a few min
utes and a half hour later he had
opened his offices and was proceed
ing with a staff of stenographers and
assistants to the West Forty-seventh
street police station. He began his
investigation of the murder, there at
3:30 o'clock. i
There were several Witnesses ready
to talk to the district attorney, but
none of them appeared to have any
very definite information to give.
Their descriptions pf the gambler's
assailants were' meager and did not
agree in details. Three persons had
noticed the number of the car but
each ' remembered it v differently.
Moreover,' for an ccasiorv such as this
there "is little doubt but that the mur
derers would substitute a wrong num
ber for the one usually borne by their
machine.'- ' ! . '
