TO
Denies All Charges and Says
All Based on Mere
Assumption.

o Evidence of Crime Against
Hyde or Promoters ot the
Shipbuilding Trust
ALBANY. X. Y.. Marco District At
torney Jerome filed today with Judge
Howies his answer to the charges pre
ferred by William F. King, ex-president
of the New York Merchants' Association,
and a committee of minority stockholders
of the Metropolitan'Street Railway Com
pany, In which the t.ovVriror is asked to
remove Mr. Jerome from office. The
answer is a general -dlii4 of the charges.
The Governor said he would announce
the procedure to be followed after he had
examined the document.
The District Attorney's answer declares
that the charges against him were based
on assumptions - which are purely grat
uitous; that in each instance of alleged
failure to prosecute, the matter did not,
as a matter of law, constitute a crime;
or, if the crime had been committed, it
was by reason of some defect of evidence,
such as the jack of corroboration with
Impossibility to sustain a prosecution;
and that the law and the obligations of
his oath of office alike forbade him to
institute prosecutions in the absence of
evidence to justify "them. Each of the 23
charges against him was taken up by
Mr. Jerome and- answered In detail.
WherQ He Got Campaign Kund.
With reference to the charge which re
lates to Mr. Jerome's campaign fund,
which was Id charge of Howard S. Gans.
one of hts. assistants, Mr. Jerome stated
that "sa-e and except a few instances'
her was not informed and did not know
from whom - the contributions to the ex
penses of his campaign were made. The
answer seta forth also that the largest
contributor' to the fund, so far as Mr.
Jerome knows, was Samuel L'ntermyer.
wfto has beerf for a long time a personal
friend of the District Attorney. Mr. t'n
termyer's contribution was .$000. The
charges against Mr. Jerome alleged that
this contribution was improper on the
ground that Mr. Untermyer was an attor
ney for James H. Hyde, ex-vice-president
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
To this the reply is made that Mr. Un
tprmyer at 'that time dlu not represent
Mr. Hyde In criminal matters, and that
neither before or since that time has any
evidence been produced to indicate that
Mr. Hyde had been guilty of any criminal
act.
Denial Is made that Mr. Gans. since he
has been an active practitioner of the law,
has at any- time received any favors, or
been shown any other or greater couriers-
orrconirtderations than is shown to
every; practicing lawyer, i Denial is made
hUo tha.L apx favors have been asQced or
received of the District Attorney from
any corporation. n ,.
-.Why' High Financier Kscape.
With reference to tbe charge against
the District Attorney to the' effect that
he had failed to bring prosecution tor any
alleged criminal conspiracy for the flota
tion of illegal, worthless and fictitious
securities of the United States Shipbuild
ing Company in 1902, Mr. Jerome replies:
That while It. was poertble a crime had
bren committed and that certain prrsonjs con
nected with the enterprise had been guilty of
procuring money by falne representation, the
legal evidence to prove the faleity of the rep
rwntatton could be secured nly by taking
the testimony of the wltneasea in Ave dif
ferent states.
Under" the elementary criminal law. Mr.
Jerome says, depositions, when taken
"without jurisdiction.' are not available
either for preliminary steps in a prosecu
tion or upon the trial of a criminal cane,
and that 'he had no means of securing the
attendance of witnesses whose testimony
would have been essential to make a case,
and that he was, therefore, powerless to
prosecute. r
. "tlH'Has Some Friends.
In repty to the allegation that the Dis
trict Attorney had lost almost completely
the confidence of the people in the County
.of New York, the answer disclaims any
ability to 3udge of this assertion, but sets
forth, bearing upon the question, some of
the numerous letters which he has been
receiving since these charges have been
fifed, containing assurances of confidence
and expressions of approval of his course.
The letters referred to are communica
tions from Joseph H. v'hoatr, ex-Ambassador
to Great Britain; General Ben
jamin F. Tracy. ex-Secretary of the Navy,
and Edward M. Shopard.

CITY PRIMARIES.
Ke-c.cct.on of Wright as Mayor Will
Make Him Logical Democratic
Candidate for Governor.
. 9EATTL.E. Wash., March 9. (Special.)
The political eye of this state is today
turned upon Tacoma. for tomorrow the
City of Destiny will .hold a primary elec
tion, and upon the result of that election
depends the fut.ure of the Democracy in
sofar as its most powerful Gubernatorial
possibility Is concerned. It Is highly
probable that the present incumbent,
George P. Wright, will be "renominated
for his third term. If he Is elected
Wright will become the logical candidate
for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomi
nation. Charles Drury. a tailor, is the only
candidate In opposition to Wright, and
Drury is not a formidable opponent.
There Is prevalent among politicians a
belief that Drury was drawn into the
contest by Republican politicians to em
barrass Wright and to make it Impossible
for the Democrats to take any part in
the Republican fight. Drury attempted,
without success, to make attacks on
Wright, but after tw ''imsnccessful at
tempts to' Hold the attention- of - his
crowds, Drury bad to give it up.""
Prior to the time Wright was made
grain Inspector, in he Jived at-Day-
ton, in Columbia County- . During, the
time he -was In state service he con
tinued in close touch with Eastern Wash
ington politics and a recent straw vote
on the East Side shows that Wright leads
all other men suggested for the Demo
cratic nomination.

ALFONSO I.KAVK8 MADRID.
MADRID, March . Kin Alfonso
left for Barcelona shortly after
o'clock this evening;. He will spend
two days there. It being decided at
the last moment that he should
leave Barcelona at 5:30 on Wed
nesday afternoon Instead of on
Thursday morning.
BARCELONA. March 9. General Li
nares, the Captain-General of Catalonia,
is confident that the visit of King Al
fonso to Barcelona will pass off safely.
His Majesty I expected tomorrow morn
ing. General Linares declares the popu
lation of this city is anxious to show its
loyalty to the King, whose courage in
coming after the repeated bomb outrages
here is greatly admired.
Nevertheless, the Captain-General is
sparing no precautions to safeguard his
Majesty. The official programme of the
visit has not been allowed to be printed,
and the houses along the streets through
which the King is to pass, have been
thoroughly searched. But in view of the
fact that for 20 years past Barcelona has
been a stronghold of Republicanism and
the center of violent Cat-list agitation,
brought about 4y the withdrawal of the
ancient privileges of Catalonia at the time
the Government was centralized at Ma
drid, after the French model, an enthu
siastic reception is not expected.
The peril . to the King does not come
from the Republicans, whose organization
yesterday formally declared against a
hostile manifestation, but from the 'An
archist wing of the Carlists, who are con
ducting a campaign of bomb operations
as reprisals for the alleged ill-treatment
of their comrades who are confined in
the Moot Juich Prison.
General Linares 'has declined an ofTer
made by Royalist students to furnish a
bodyguard for the King. The 6tudents
have announced their Intention of re
peating their exploit on the occasion of
His Majesty's visit to Barcelona of last
year when they unhitched the horses from
the royal carriage and drew the vehicle
themselves.
An Austrian squadron composed of the
battleships Archduke Carl. Archduke
Frederick and Archduke Ferindat Max,
under the command of Admiral Ziegler,
arrived here today and exchanged salute
with the Barcelona forts.
King Alphonso Jill visit the squadron
on Wednesday.
DEATH OF. KIXG IS DECREED
Geneva Anarchists Issue Order Al-
; fon so Delermlned to Go.
MADRID, March 9. It developed here
today that a section of the Spanish Minis
try is bitterly opposed to King Alfonso's
going to Barcelona, which Is described as
a "wasp's nest," but the King, with a dis
play of the old Bourbon courage; has re
fused to be dissuaded. He considered It
his duty to go. and is confident that his
vtsit to Barcelona will appeal to the chiv
alrous spirit of the Spanish people and
have a good effect.
A dispatch has reached here from the
Spanish Minister to Switzerland saying
that the anarchists of Geneva have de
creed the death ot King Alfonso and Pre
mier Maura.
SCHOOLS ARE FIRE-TRAPS
Seattle Board Make Startling Dis
coveries on Inspection Trip.
SEATTLE. Wash.. March 9. (Special.)
That several school buildings In Seattle
are Are-traps is the declaration of James
Stephen, architect of the School Board of
this city. The buildings which are con
demned are those which until recenyy
were outside the city limits, coming in by
annexation.
Aroused by the fearful results of the
Collinwood disaster., the School Board
and the Fire Marshal have been making
daily inspections, and while they have
found the pupils fairly well drilled and
under such discipline as to enable them
to vacate buildings in good time, they
have found that numerous buildings are
so constructed as to make them veritable
fire-traps, and that only a very few of
them have fire escapes.
A flagrant example is the building in
thaj section known as Columbia, where a
basement was found littered with trash of
all kinds, too close to the furnace.
As the result of the inspection a meet
ing of the School Board was immediately
called, and steps will at once be taken
to remedy the conditions, which. It is de
clared, threaten the lives of hundreds of
children of the city.

CHK5 ABOUT THE CANAL
JOHN F. STEVEXS UTTERS A DIS
MAL PROPHECY.
Says Will Cost More Than Expected
and Will Be or Little Benefit
After It Is Completed.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 9. John
F. Stevens, vice-president of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road and a former engineer of the
Panama Canal, has issued a state
ment regarding the latter enterprise
in which , he prophesies a failure of
the undertaking. Mr. Stevens says that
the canal will not help the United
States in its trade with South Amer
ica, as practically all of the inhab
itants of the southern continent are
east of the Andes.
Stevens also' , says that our com
mercial relations with. the islands of
the Pacific and the Far East will be
little benefited. Our coal and' wheat
centers are inland. Their products
have to be started on their way by
rail. When once loaded on cars It
would not be cheaper to ship to the
Atlantic and then ship to the East by
way of the canal than it would be
to send directly to the ports on our
Pacific Coast and then get on board
ship. Furthermore Mr. Stevens be
