4bee who hired the motor car which Ar-
rted the murderers of Herman Rosen-
thal the gambler to the scene of the
crime waa connected more directly with
the case tonight by implication of Depu-
ty Police Commissioner Dougherty. Rose
has claimed that he was not responsible
for the -movements of the automobile.
Commissioner Dougherty said he had
talked with Shapiro Chauffeur of the
"death car" and added: "In spite of the
fact that Rose says he dismissed the car.
Shapiro says he did not."
The tone In which the commissioner
made this statement Implied that he
placed little credence In Rose's statement
that he got out of the car long before
It reached the Metropole hotel the
scene of the jrurder. Rose claims he
can prove an alibi for the time one hour
before and an hour after the killing.
The commissioner was asked pointedly
Whether Lieutenant Becker the friend
ol Rose and the 'man whom Rosenthal
had declared was In silent partnership
with htm has been connected with the
esse.
Nothing Tangible Against Becker.
"Lieutenant Becker Is a figure in this
case mentioned In the newspapers ana
ViW Mlous persons" he replied. "There

(Commissioner Dougherty today was In
conference with several persons to be
considered .by the police who witnessed
the case. Of his visitors were elaborate-
ly gowned young women and another
a young man. Their appearance seems
to relieve the commissioner of much
anxiety. . The Identity of all was care-
fully guarded.
"We have made good progress" said
Mr. Dougherty. "First we have the
automobUe which was used In the mur-
der; second we have the owner and the
chauffeur of the car; third we have the
man who hired the car; and fourth we
have allvthe movements of the car traced
from tiie time it was hired to the time
It was returned to the garage."
Every move In the crime 1s known to
the district attorney's office to the full
latlsfaction of the men handling the In-
vestigation It Is stated.
Rose Under Police Pressure.
The gang of gunmen and black-
lackers that riddled Rosenthal with
bullets Is believed by detectives to
have been procured by "Bald Jack"

tlose the mouth of Rosenthal against

ride their gains with the police.

TO END COTTON WAR
Interstate Commission at Present
Without Jurisdiction to Settle
Demurrage Controversy.
(Associated Pratt Report.)
CHICAGO July 20. Congress may be
asked to pass a special enactment en-
abling the interstate commerce commis-
sion to handle the controversy involved
in the shipment of cotton through the
port of Galveston. This suggestion was
made today by Chairman Charles A.
Prouty of the interstate commerce com-
mission in the hearing of the complaint
of th Galveston chamber of commerce
against the railroads In which the restora-
tion of through bills of lading Is sought.
Th Dallas chamber of commerce Joined
with the Galveston chamber of commerce
In the complaint and the Texas Inter-
ests declared that the cotton crop de-
scribed as the largest in years in the Lone
Star State Is about to move and that
difficulty will be -experienced In finding
the shipments unless action is speedily
taken by the commission.
"I don't see how the commission has
Jurisdiction to act at one in this cas
and in time to be of any service to the
present crop" said Chairman Prouty.
The cotton Interests are seeking free
time without charges for demurrage con-
tending that the delay entailed in demur-
rage and the accompanying charges will
hamper considerably the financing of th
Texas cotton.
Th railroads maintain that ample free
time is given in th shipment f cotton
through the Texas ports to foreign mar-
kets. The bearing .was concluded today.

the assertion of a Tombs official that
Wilson had been safely locked up early
last evening. Wilson however was
locked up according to Keeper Shea of
Atlanta who has been with Wilson on
his trip Norlh.
When It was found Wilson who has
been serving a sentence In Atlanta for

was enjoying a "vacation" after being

made last night at the Tombs developing
the statement that he was than in a

when the rebels set fire to the train.
The cries of the wounded who were
within the burning coaches were heard
by federal guards some distance away.
It is believed that several of the wounded
now In the hospital will die before morn-
ing. The escape of the Mexican engineer Is
regarded as little less than a miracle
as he was directly over the mine when
is exploded.
Beside a few burns all bis wounds
were from the rebel fire and his deten-
tion In the hospital Is merely a precau-
tion. Parties of federal troops are scouring
the hills in search of the rebels and a
line of sentries is stationed the length
of the railroad.
Ellso Esplnoza the priest. is a hero
tonight. He la said to have exposed his
life time after time in an attempt to
care for the wounded and to minister to
the dying. Much credit is given him for
keeping a cool head and preventing all
the passengers from being massacred.
Railway officials aside from the bare
fact that the train had been fired on
denied any knowledge of the affair to-
night. Government ffflclals either re-
fused to talk or professed a like ignor-
