New Yorky Aug. 20. The scandal of
the Police Department of New York
City unearthed by the murder of Her-
man Rosenthal is still the chief topic
of Interest 'but the public attitude is
growing a change. Doubt of existing
conditions as they are alleged to con-
nect the police with the underworld
Is giving away to impatience. It is
now thirty-two days since Rosenthal
was assassinated but the continued
failure of the police to get results
either in the way of apprehending the
murderers or of exposing the graft
system has made it imperative for
the citizens generally to get together
to find out whattcan be done. At a
mass meeting held in Cooper Union a
few evenings ago a volunteer agency
composed of some of the most repre-
sentative as well as the plainest citi-
zens of New York was organized for
the purpose of assisting officers who
hare alive to their duty to stimulate the
indifferent and to scare Into activity
those who have xthus far secretly
worked to prevent the full truth from
coming out.
In connection with the exposure of
the "graft system" in New York City
Assistant District Attorney Frank
Moss has brought out some peculiarly
interesting facts. Mr. Moss was one
of the investigators for the Lexow
j committee some years ago and is
I considered onef the. foremost autho-
! rities on graft as it is said to exist in
New York. "The body 61 the system
says Mr. Moss "is today the same as

i gallon but in the lapse of eighteen
years some clever methods have been
invented. The 'system is smarter to-

BIG HIT AIRDOME
Messrs. Culpepper Younger Spencer
smd Marshall. The Best Seen
Here in Many Seasons.
The Star Comedy Four male quar-
tette delighted one of the season's
largest crowds at the Airdome theatre
jast night. Their rendition of the
several quartette numbers was far
above the ordinary and brought forth
vociferous applause. They were en-
cored and then encored some more.
and to quote a prominent devotee of
the theatre here "the only objection
; that could be stated against them was
that they didn't sing all night" Their
comedy was good; very good not'old
stale stuff but new snappy original
gags that "get over" the majority of
them. To say the least you've sim-
ply got to "give it to 'em" as being the
best male quartette "that is." in their
particular line of stuff. Those who
really and truly enjoy real singing
should wake up and fall to the fact
j that this is some fittin'. Of course
j there's lots of gazaboos who can't see
anyuiiiiK line uie uuuiihl mieuueu.
who won't believe anything In the
world until tley see It and are too
contrary to take a tip when its given
them who will doubtless let this get
by them but despito the fact that
Browmvood has at least eighteen or
j twenty of these things still there are
j several sensible folks here and the
managors or uie Airaome are expect-
ing to break the record with this
bunch of vocalises.
These boys don't use that classical
painful kind of warbling which peo-
ple go to see and call good for (fear
some one -will think they are Igno-
rant of the technique (or whatever it
is) of music but they use the old
popular melodies that sound right to
most every human who is not chroni-
cally grouchy they all have good
pipes and they have an act that will
make good in live towns so get hip
