eighth, Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth con
gresses While he was a member of the house
of representatives In 1900 the Republi
can senators' caucus committee of
fered blm the position of secretary to
the senate and he signified hli .vlllln?
lipss to accept. President McKinley a
little later offered him a post as one
of the appraisers of the port of New
Yoik. Constituents of his in the
Onelda-Herklmer district held a mass
meeting and requested him to con
tinue to represent them in the na
tional house of representatives, which
he accordingly did. While chairman
of the state convention In 1900 Mr.
Sherman was a rival of Theodore
Roosevelt for the vice presidential
nomination.
The congressman In 1902 was
boomed lor the speakership of the
house, but he withdrew his candidacy
In a lettpr to his fellow congressmen
Df New York, declaring that he did not
wish to jeopardize the chances of New
York to ec?t a speaker, there being
then two candidates from the Empire
state in the Held. In congress Mr.
Sherman .jh strongly identified with
Indian affairs, and at the time of his
election to the vice presidency in 1908
was the chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs.
.Mr. Sherman succeeded Represent
ative Babcock of Wisconsin as chair
man of the Republican congressional
committee in charge of the campaign.
President Roosevelt had suggested
that, as so much was being said in
criticism of contributions by corpora
tions, smaller contributions should be
(ought among the people generally and
the future vice president became
famou.i under the sobriquets of "Dol
lar Jim" and "Send Your Dollar, Jim,"
as the solicitor of dollar contributions.
TAFT DEEPLY MOVED
President Hears News of Sherman'
Death at Banquet Table.
President Taft was much affected
hen he received the news of Vice
President Sherman's death. The presi
dent was seated at the banquet-table
in the Thirteenth regiment armory,
Brooklyn, as the chief guest of the
navy yard employes after the. launch
ing of the new battleship New York.
The message was brought to him by a
secret service man.
"Oh, my God!" he exclaimed. Then
he told those nearest to him of the
death of Mr. Sherman. Tears sprung
to his eye3. When the navy yard con
structor finished his speech the presi
dent arose and said:
".My friends, three years ago, at the
launching of the Florida, you all met
the vice president of the United
States. Word has just come to me
that he Is dead. Those who knew
him, loved hi:n. His death is a great
loss to all. I venture, therefore, to ask
you all that this meeting be adjourned
In honor of his memory." - t

WHITMAN AFTER
MENjlGHER UP
Altacks New York Police "Sys
tem" In High Places
INSPECTOR ON THE CARPET
Summoned to Explain His Activity In
Behalf of Four Gunmen Who Are
Accused of the Rosenthal Murder.
District Attorney Whitman Is facing
the police "system" and has set his
strength to deliver a crushing blow.
He started in by Issuing a subpena
for an uptown Inspector of palice, who,
it is alleged, ha3 been active in an
effort to discredit Jack Rose, Rriduy
Webber and Harry Vallon, the state's
chief witnesses in the Rosenthal mur
der case. He uncovered, it is said, an
attempt to bribe into silence William
Shapiro, the driver of the gray mur
der car, who lately became a state's
witness. Mr. Whitman Is convinced
that the four gunmen Waiting trial for
the murder of ' Herman Rosenthal
would have confessed had they not
been reached by the "system."
"If the people of New York think
the storm has blown over they are
mistaken," -Mr. Whitman said. "The
clean-up of the police has Just begun."
Mr. Whitman has a statement from
Shapiro that an emissary of the "sys
tem" offered him $2,000 If he would
6tick to his non-committal policy.
This incident is to be made the sub
ject of Investigation by the new grand
Jury.
Mr. Whitman has evidence that the
system is controlled by a triumvirate
consisting of a civilian employe of the
police department, an Inspector of po
lice and another civilian once prom
inent In the city administration. The
Interests represented by these men,
Mr. Whitman believes, are making a
desperate fight to have the Rosenthal
case closed with the conviction of
Charles Becker. Their tactics, the
district attorney has renson to believe,
aim to break down the strong cade
that has been presented against all
the men under Indictment for the mur
der of Rosenthal.
