April 11.?The four gunmen convicted of the murder of Herman Kosenthal, a gambler, have met their doom. Just at daybreak, at Sing Sing this morning electrocution was begun. None confessed. They died "game." In thirty-nine minutes all hud met death. Frank Oirotlci, (Dago Frank) was the tlrst to enter tho chamber of .1. ath., His fa e WSl chalky white, but he uttered no words as the signal was given to turn on the current. There had been rumors that he would confess, but he went to his death without making any statement. Two shocks were necessary. Joseph Seidenschrlner, (Whitney Lewis) was noxt brought in. His haggard face was almost blue and he neted at the chair. The four guards I picked him up and strapped him in) the fatal chair. He denounced his ac? cusers, concluding "I swear before God I AM not shoot Kosenthai." Two shoe kg were given and he was in eternity. Harry Horowitz, (Gyp the Blood), walked more steadily, but all bravado was gone. As the Kabhi chanted a prayer, Horowitz repeated the last paragraph. Two shocks and he was dead. Louis Rosenberg, (Lefty Louie), stronger than the others, walked steadily to the chair. Three shocks were BOesssjOf) to extinguish tin* spark of life. Nine mlnuteH later the bodies WOfO phued in coffins to be sent to New York city. Story of the Four Men. The four products of the Manhat? tan Fast Side who paid the penalty of their crime today were convicted on November 10, 11*12, of firing the shots which hilled Herman Rosenthal as he nt -pped from the Hotel Metropole into Foi lj -third Street, just off Broadway. Kosenthai had caused the gambling v. orld <?f the metropolis to quake with terror by his conforer.ee with Dls ?rtet Attorney Charten s.

Bomb outrages, slaylngs and assaults had marked this con? flict. Believing he was to be deserted by Charles Becker, police lieutenant in charge of a "strong arm squad" and a partner in the Rosenthal gambling house, the desperate man was now about to expose the whole illegal con? spiracy of police and crime. The gambler was sitting in tho Metropole about 2 o'clock in the morn? ing of July 16, 1912. A man entered and asked him to come outside. Lurking In the ?hadows were "Biidg ey" Weber, "Bald Jack" Rose and Harry Vallon. Nearby stood a motor car with engine running. The police? men supposed to be on a station nearby bad been lured away. In tho glare of bright lights end within 100 feet of Times Square four young men Hhot RoKcnthal to death and le&ped Into the motor car. A llfth man also entered, It was said by some, and urged tho driver Onward by holding a revolver to his head and striking him. The car disappeared in tho direction of Fifth Avenue. But so sure were the murderers that Charles Booker would protool them, that they 1 -ft the correct license number on the "murder car" and this was noted by a man who happened to bo a witness to the shooting. The next dsy New York was In a turmoil. The District Attorney and BsoltOf were both on the scene long before daybreak. There wero ugly ru? mors of police attempts to cover the murderer's trail. It was recalled that Root nthal was t.. tell a complete 'story to Mi. Whitman the very day of his death. Tho motive of the murder ? ould nol have been more clear. N.-t for several days wore the names <>f the four put to death today men? tioned. The "murder car" was found and Ihs two owners, on* of whom had driven that night WCfO arrested. A general alarm was s? ttt out for "Jin k" Hose, who lay in hiding in a line R|V? erslde apartment. Only July i* he trolled Into polios headnuarterg non? chalantly and was looked tip On July ju a newspaper published the names <.f "Lefts Louie" and "Whib'.v Lewis" ns tWO of the four gunmen. Then Sim Caul, bead of an organ? isation of gamble re which had bad Sn OUtlni ?he Sund.iv previous to the murder; "Rrldfcy" Weber and "Jack Hulllvsn" who h oi been with Bet k< t the night or the murder were locked up. < hi Jul) J Han J Vallon was tak II Into custody and Hocker was Irans? ? rred from hik? headquarters squad ie Bronx desk dot', Only now ware ?

"Dago Krank," stupid with opium, was found In Harlem on July 25, the day Alderman CUtTan demanded a ?pocial police invostigatloh. Mr. Whitman strengthened the easo ayainst Hose, Weber and Vallon un? til they turned State's evidence and named lieeker as the prime instigator of the critno. Becker was thrown into the Tombs without ball. Kose also named the four actual murderers of Kosenthal. They were members Of "Big Jack Zc, " east side gang, an organization whicn poli? ticians had often found useful. Bose had hired them through Zelig. Kose told of telephoning Becker a few min? utes after the murder and taylng: "Good, Cod, this is terrible." "Don't worry, I'll protect you," he declared Beeker replied easily. Kose also ex? posed New York's police graft, which he figured at $2,4 00,000 a year. Ho said Becker, a civilian in tho police deportment and two Inspectors handl? ed this. ? Whitey" Lewis fled to the Catskills where he was arrested August 2. "Oyp" and "Lefty" wero found hiding in Glendale, Queens Borough, but they said they had gone about the city openly many times. In the meantime Governor Dlx had appointed Justice Goff to try Becker for murder. Sam Schopps had been caught at Hot Springs, Ark., and brought back to New York. On Oc? tober 24 Becker was found guilty. Two weeks before "Big Jack" Zelig had been murdered In a street ear. His death may have been an outcome of the Kosenthal case. The foot gunmen came to trial No? vember 8. They elected to be tried together. RlOVen days later the jury, after only a short deliberation found them guilty. They were taken to Sing Sing and lodged in the death house whither Booker had preceded them. All llvo cases were carefully argued on ap? peal. The highest court in the State found that Becker was entlted to a new trial but the four gunmen had been justly convicted. A few weeks later the four gunmen gave out a long appeal to the public in which they said they could not un? derstand why the evidence that failed to convict Becker should have con vieted them Theii i Iv a end rela I tives were pitiful Qj urea In thelrl pleadings to the p iblli and to various! ofnets ii.. -- - ?? ? lougii .nt-iiiciiu? for Children.

Right of the President; Explained. Washington, April 12.?Secretary Bryan in a statement made public' today lengthily reviews the Panama tolls question, and in the course of the statement declares that tho re? peal of the tolls exemption in the Panama canal act "can not be con? strued to be a construction of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty," but is "sim? ply a refusal on the part of the United States to raise that question in that way." Mr. Bryan discusses various fea-| tures of the subject?the limiting of debate in the house of representa? tives, the Baltimore platform and the effect of repeal on the treaty. Claiming that the opponents of the repeal had seized upon the charge that the president was "surrendering to England," Mr. Bryan declared that the opposition to the repeal had at? tempted to appeal "to prejudice rather than to reason." "What has Great Britain done," he asked, "to justify the accusation that she is trying to dictate to this coun? try? She has simply called attention to the terms of the treaty, and ask? ed for arbitration of the question of construction, in case this government in the construction to be placed upon the language. The very men who are so insistent upon construing the treaty to permit free tolls delayed for months the ratification of the treaty with Great Britain because of their opposition to any arbitration of tho subject? In other words, they construed the treaty to permit dis? crimination, antl then objected to al? lowing any international court to ex? press an opinion on the subject. If, as a matter of fuct, the treaty grants tho rights which Great Britain claims, is it a 'surrender to Great Britain for our nation to repeal a law that raised that question? The repeal of the law can not be con? strued to be a construction of the treaty. It is simply a refusal on tho part of the United States to raise that question in that way. In the con? troversy over the Welland cunal, Can? ada withdrew a discrimination which she had made in favor of Canadian ships, 'it ordei that no nvsc fee friction with tin? United Htetes ? - thorltiea in regard to the matter j ahould exist.' Why ceii not the United States' withdraw a discrimination ior samo reason Wlten the treaty in? volved was before the senate for ratification an attempt was made to so amend it as to permit a discrimi? nation in favor of coastwise ves? sels, but it was voted down by a do cided majority. With this record to support them, is it strange that for? eign nations question our right to make an exception in favor of Amer? ican vessels? Discussing the president's right to expect the support of congress when he deals with international questions, Secretary Bryan adds: "The chief executive speaks for the nation in international affairs, and it is only fair to assume that he speaks advisedl when he declares that intercourse with other nations is seriously embarrassed by the free lolls law which he seeks to repeal. "We occupy today a proud position imong the nations; we aro the fore? most advocate of peaco and arbitra? tion; we are becoming more and more i moral factor throughout the world. Can we afford to surrender this posi? tion? Can we afford to belittle the ireat enterprise which has reached its consummation at the isthmus? If our nation desires to be measured by In? tellectual and ethical standaids, how unworthy to brag of our strength and to threaten to use that strength. 'We ire ready to tight' does not arouse the enthusiasm now that it did a few cen? turies ago. Brute force is not the level upon which this nation settles its controversies today. The question is not what wc can do but what we ought to do. The path of history is strewn with the wreck of nations that boasted that they were all powerful. This question must be decided on moral principlea and not by the counting of our regiments and battleships. What shall It profit a nation if it conquers the whole world and loses its faith in tho doctrine that righteousness ex alteth a nation?" Mr. Bryan was a member of the resolutions committee of the Balti? more convention and his observations on the platform constitute his first Utterance on tho subject. Mr. Bryan argues that there are two planks In the Baltimore platform, pertinent to tho discussion, one which declares the belief Of the Democratic party In tho i ncouragement of tho merchant ma? rine but states that it should bo de? veloped "without imposing additional burdens upon the poople and without bounty or subsidies from the public treasuries." and a second plank do* 'luring in favor of Ihe exemption from tolls of Vmerleaii coastwise ships. Mr Bryan declares that the opposition to bounties is a doctrine "for which the Democratic party has stood from time immemorial." He refers to the ex? emption plank as a "little plank" and to the pronouncement on bounties and subsidies as the "largest plank" and says: "What opiate does the little j>lank contain that it can make those who accept it oblivious of the larger plank? By what rule of canstructlon can the small plank be made binding and the large one ignored The secret of the strange power exerted by the little plank is to be found in the fact that it carefully conceals the means by whic h it is to be carried out. Had tho word 'subsidy or 'bounty' been in? serted in this plank, it could not have secured the indorsement of the con? vention because the contradition be? tween this plank and the larger plank would have been immediately appar? ent. If the same care had been used in the drawing of this plank that was used in the diawing of the plank on the merchant marine, the tolls ex? emption plank would have read as fol? lows: 'We favor the exemption from toll of American ships engaged In Coaatwlaa trade passing through the canal, but without imposing additional burdens upon the people and without bounties or subsidies from the pub? lic treasury.' "But even if the platform had not contained within itself a complete re? futation of the position taken by the advocates of free tolls, the president would havo been justified in the po? sition that he took by the changed conditions which confronted him. A platform is a pledge and is as binding upon an official as the command of a military officer is upon a subordi? nate?the statement can not be made stronger. But the subordinate officer is sometimes compelled to act upon his judgment where a change of which the commanding officer is not aware has taken place in conditions, it is not only the right of the subor? dinate to judge the situation for him? self where conditions have changed since the order was given, but It is his duty to do so. In the case under consideration the president takes re sponsibility for an official act which he regards as necessary for his coun? try's welfare and the people must decide whether or not he is Justi? fied; and those who refuse to act with him also assume responsibility and they, too, must abide the judgment of the public. Such a change haa taken place since he Baltimore plat ? . ' ? , ? lad t}??* Dfjuio? .. w i it assojnbiod bjsafl Confn ryted by tne ro/su'tior. whlcU vv. ex Isla and had tfe>ey know what those now know who voted for rep?-' \ no such plank would rver have been placed in the plattorm. The conven? tion's attention was not even brought to the fact that a majority of the Democrats in the house had voted against the free tolls measure and that it had, in fact, been passed by a combination of a minority of the Democrats and a majority of the Re? publicans." I Mr. Bryan says that platform planks dealing with international questions must be accepted with the understanding "that we act jolutly with other nations in international uffairs," that even if the plank had not been contradicted by aother plank in the platform and even it it "hadl not concealed a subsidy policy repug? nant to Democratic principle and his? tory," that even if conditions had not changed, a platform plank should be taken on international questions "as the expression of a wish rather than as the expression of a determination, for no nation can afford to purchase a small advantage in tho face of a universal protest." "If a nation," continue! the secre? tary, "desires to array itself against the world, it should be sure that the thing which it is to guin is worth what it costs. The president, know? ing that every commercial nation ex? cept our own construes the treaty as a pledge of equal treatment, would havo been recreant to his trust had he failed to point out to the American people that our diplomatic relations would bo seriously disturbed by the carrying out of the free tolls policy." Considering tho repeal measure) upon its merits, Mr. Bryan said thero were just two questions to be de? cided: "First, |g it desirable for the Dem? ocratic party to abandon Its historic position and become the advocate of subsidies and bounties? And. second, if it Is desirable, what is the Demo? cratic party willing to sacrifice in in? ternational prestige and world influ? ence in order t?? secure the advan? tage which theae subsidies promise to a few people."
