SCORES Oil JEROME
Lawyer Pierce Forces Him to
Admit Damaging Fact.
LET POLITICIANS GRAFT
o KvUlenre a to Campaign Con
tributions Kvrr Laid Before Any
Grand Jury, Kxcept
by Accident.
XKW YORK, April 29. District At
torney Jerome, at the hearing of the
charges ugainst him. before Commis
sioner Richard U Hand, admitted today,
during a colloquy with Krankltn Pierce,
counsel for the petitioners for Jerome's
removal, that no evidence as to cam
paign contributions was ever laid be
fore any grand Jury while he has been
Vtstrict Attorney, except such as came
out incidentally in other cases. The
admission was made after Mr. Pierce
had asked for the minutes of the grand
Juries, which considered the insurance
ases. and after Mr. Jerome had refused
to produce the minutes unless ordered
to do so by a Judge of the Supreme
Court. Mr. Pierce had taken up
charge No. 5. which is to the effect that
Mr. Jerome was derelict in presenting
the Insurance cases to the grand Jury.
Mr. Pierce explained that he could
not become aware of what the minutes
contained unless he bad access to them.
"Well," said Mr. Jerome, "there never
"has been any evidence as to campaign
contributions laid before any grand
jury In the county while 1 have been
Ilstrtct Attorney, during cither term of
oftice. except Incidentally as it was
mentioned in connection with other
matters.'1
tiets What He Wanted.
"That is Just what I want. Now I
do not need the minutes you alluded
to," said Mr. Pierce.
Mr. Pierce then took up the matters
contained in the sixth charge against
Mr. Jerome. He said that on June 25,
1904. the New York Life Insurance
Company sent to Kidder, Peabody A
Company, of Boston. $930,000. and on
June 27. 1904. that firm acknowledged
receipt and stated that it was sending
by registered mail to the Insurance
company, $1,000,000 worth of Mexican
Central Railroad Company, limited. I
per cent gold bonds, purchased with
the money In question.
Mr. Pierce declared that these bonds
were purchased by the New York Life
Insurance Company and were disposed
of by the' Boston concern in August of
the same year at a profit of $40,000.
This $40,000, he said, was transmitted,
with interest on the bonds, the whole
amounting to $40,193, to the New York
Life Insurance Company on September
17, 1904. The transaction, he continued,
appeared on the books of the New York
Life Insurance Company as a purchase
and sale by it of these Mexican bonds,
but the books failed to show any profits
therefrom.
Not in the Books.
These profits of $40,000. Mr. Pierce
declared, were turned over to George
W. Perkins, but the transaction did not
at that time appear on the books of J.
P. Morgan St Company, or upon any
books of George W". Perkins, individu
ally or otherwise.
He read extracts from Mr. Perkins'
testimony before the Armstrong Com
mittee as to his right to receive the
$40,000, and said Mr. Perkins gave no
reason for receiving the money, except
that he held it for a fund called the
nylic fund, of which he was trustee,
which fund was created by the salaries
and bonuses of 220 agencies and direc
tors. According to charge No. 6. Mr. Pierce
said, the $40,000 was used by Mr. Per
kins as his own money, no entry being
made of the receipt as belonging to the
nylte fund.
The hearing was adjourned until tomorrow.

NEW ALASKA SALOON LAW
Committee Reports Measure to
Break Up Perambulating Joints.
WASHINGTON. April 29. The House
committee on territories today made a
report on a bill to regulate liquor licenses
In Alaska. It Is the purpose of the bill
to break up what is known as "peram
bulating saloons" In that territory. Here
tofore, the retail licenses have been of
a graduated character, ranging from
$1500 a year in towns whose population is
1500 or over, to $500 in places whose pop
ulation Is below 500. Under the bill re
ported today a flat retail license of $1000
is provided and provision is made that
no license shall be issued except in an
Incorporated town or in one where there
is a resident commissioner or United
States Deputy Marshal.
It is claimed by Governor Hoggatt and
others in Alaska that under the present
lew a saloonkeeper can pay a license
of $500 and then move his saloon to any
part of the territory as iong as he does
not get into a town containing over 500
people. This system enables him to fol
low construction camps and other small
bodies of men, and It Is claimed that
this practice has proved injurious. In
the new bill the wholesale license re
mains at $2000, as under the present law.
Food Supplies for Fleet.

EARTHS FITS AT TRIAL
OREGON WITNESS IN BENSON
CASE OVERCOME.
Portland People Testify In Land
Fraud Case of Having Disposed
of School-Land Right for Cash.
v WASHINGTON, April 29. A sensation,
not on the programme of either side, was
provided in the Criminal Court today
when H. F. Bartels, of Portland, Or., one
of the witnesses called by the Govern
ment to testify In the so-called land
frauds investigation, suddenly became ill
and lapsed into unconsciousness. Mr.
Bartels had just left the witness stand
after testifying concerning his connection
with One of the minor transactions by
which It is sought to establish the con
spiracy to wrongfully acquire state and
Government public lands, as alleged
against the four defendants, Hyde, Ben
son, Diamond and Schneider.
The Government continued today offer
ing the same character f testimony
with which most of the last two days
have been consumed, Lillian York, of
Portland, Or., and Fred Wittenstram, of
Floe co, being the first two witnesses
called. The latter stated that he sold his
"school land rights" lor $1. Mrs. York,
wife of Milton York, who testified yes
terday, stated, however, that the signa
ture of her name as it appeared on the
application and assignment blanks, were
forgeries.
Objection was made by the defense to
the testimony of Wittenstram, but the
testimony was admitted under objection
and exception.
Eugene E. Page, an auctioneer of
Portland. Or., testified that the signa
ture of his name to an "application to
purchase" and an assignment of the
land claim was a forgery In each case.
Clarence H. Ford, of Portland, stated
that he received $5 upon disposing of his
school rights, and exactly similar testi
mony was given by Edward L. Aiken,
also of Portland, who said his wife. too.
received $5 for- disposing; of his school
land rights.
H. F. Bartels, a fire Insurance agent of
Portland, identified his signature on pa
pers of the same character, but he
"could not remember" signing it.
Mr. Bartels left Portland about April
12 for Washington in apparently good
health, except that ie was considerably
run down on account of too strict atten
tion to business according to his partner,
Claude F. Smith. Mr. Smith said last
night that no other cause could account
for his sudden fainting, unless it might be
that the room in which he was at the
time was badly ventilated. His testi
mony on behalf of the Government, Mr.
Smith added, was in the nature of iden
tifying some signatures.
