onto the right-of-way, thus escaping

restrain his men from acts of brutal

tlata Hla Charges of Protection to
News Dealers Will Also Invests
gate Other Graft Charges.
New York. Interest in the Rosen
thal case la centered in the projected
interview between District Attorney -
Whitman and Sam Schepps, the man .,
believed to bold In hla keeping impor- '
tant, aecrets connected with -the mur
der and the surrounding graft which
will do much toward clearing up tha
oase. .
One other important development iat -
forecasted. It is stated that Capt
Cornelius G. Hayes, the demoted po-v
Hoe Inspector who la under charges
of failure to enforce the law in re
spect to certain establishments In hia
district will be invited to call upon
the district attorney and talk over tbo
situation. Captain Hayea haa stated
that he acted under orders from su-
perlor officers. One of the charges
pending against the former lnspeotor
is that he falsely stated that Conimia-
sioner Waldo directed him not to ob
tain evidence' against these places ex
cept by order of the commissioner.
That Captain Hayes, if he aeea fit.
can put the district attorney in touch
with Invaluable facts connected with
the police situation Is generally, be
lieved. It is also understood that
Hayes, disregarding Immediate per- '
sonal consequences, is prepared -to -
give all the information at his' dle-V
posal. . , . ., -
It was stated that Mayor Gaynor who'
haa charged that $1,000,060 graft an
nually has been collected tor protec
tion to- newsdealers, is prepared to
subatdtiate his declaration that aider-
manic. Influences were responsible for
this alleged grafting at, the coming in- ..
vestlgation into graft matters. "
It is said the mayor has' secured in- '
numerable affdavita. which bear him -
out' in his statements. The proposal
of certain aldermen to call a special
meeting of the board and order an in- ''
vestlgation of the mayor's charges is
understood to be welcomed by tha
