ONE RIGH POLICE. BEAD HAS BIG BANK. 40 I Away 75,000 As Share of Graft. New York; August 19. Sam Schepps came back tq Broadway to- day with a statement corroborating the confession of Bgid Jack diese charging Police Lieutenant Becker with instigating the murder of the gambler Rosenthal. For two hours Shepps arid District Attoriey Whit- man were in a Pullman state room on a New York Centtal tratn epecd- ing south from Albany when the . train reached New York Wr. Whit- man said: Schepps has done all that was expected of him. He has corroborated the more important parts of Jack Roses s confession. You must not ask me for details. Opposing interests of the district attorneys office and the police were again In evidence when Schepps. ar- rived. Two detectives from head- quarters, saying they were acting on orders, attempted to selze the little man before he left the train, but Mr. Whitman was quick to announce that his office was in command and the detectives: did not get their man. Instead he was taken to the West Slde police court by Detective Thom- sa of therdistrict atorney s staff, and there he was booked on a charge of Yagrancy as a material witness along with Vallon and Webber. Schepps himself refused to say a Whitman. To all enquiries he gave grinning reaponses that they Just had a octat chat. As for oar of the system ven- geance he grinned again and tilted wend. New York, Aug. 19, News that Sam Schepps, the long-sought wit- ness in the Rosenthal murdcr case, would be here this morning, and that while on the train he was given an examination by District Attorney Whitman, who foined Schepps and his guard at Albany, served to in- elte the hope that the missing links which Bald Jack Rose, in his story told of Lieut, Becker and the Rosen- thal murder, would be supplied. Rose has sald repeated ythat if Schepps would tell the truth, his (Rose's) story would be corroborated. Information was forthcoming at the public prosecutor's office today that created unusuat interest in pol- fee headquarters. It . was. learned that for several months prior to the shooting of Rosenthal, officers of the district attorney have been quietly investigating graft in the police de- partment. The. big grafters, it was said, have been constantly shadowed for four. months and the Rosenthal shooting simply hurried matters. From members of the district at- torney's staff it was learned that a well known civilian, and two, possi- bly four, police inspectors, are caught in the tolls, The district attorney has obtained information that a collec tor for one man, high in police cir- cles, has accumulated to no less than 75,000 as his commission on eollec- tions in the last seven months. The investigation in police graft started when Lieut. Becker through Rose, it is reported, attempted to get 150 from a private poker club. His de- mand was turned down and one of the members of the club informed the attorney general. Court will meet tofmorrow when it is said Schepps-wil be asked-to-tel wor dabout his conference with Mr. his story.

The Progres- sive candidate also contrasted his at- titude towards the progressive plat- form with that of Governor Wilson toward the Democratic platform, as expressed in the latter's speech of ac- ceptance. Whereas, Governor Wil- son, he said, stated that the -plat- form is not a program, Col.
