S. A. GIMRE,
AGENT FOR THE DOUGLAS SHOE
NEW YORK, March 30.-1 u the course
of his interview published today in which
he discusses his action following the
revelations of the legislative insurance
investigation, District Attorney Jerome
advocates the enactmeut by the present
legislature of a law ma kin;' it larceny
for an officer of a corporation to make
political contributions from the funds of
the corporation. Mr. Jerome has before
rendered an opinion that such political
contributions do not constitute larceny
under the existing statues. On this
point he says:
Is No Justification.
I am of the opinion that it is not
possible in any way to justify in the
forum of morals the contribution of
corporate funds for political purposes if
these contributions do not constitute
larceny the law on the subject ought to
be immediately changed by the present
legislature by the enactment of a statute
so unequivocal in its terms that any
ollieer of a corporation using it funds
for such a purpose would be subject to
punishment exactly as if he had stolen
thee funds.
" The shortest way to ascertain what
the law on the subject was in the ab
sence of unequivocal in-truetion from
the court to the grand jury was by the
proceedure which I have adopted, because
whatever the derision below may be, an
appeal lies to the appellate division, and
being an appeal from an order it ran be
brought up for tinal determination in
the month of April.
Plans Are Changed.
Because of the unfortunate misunder
standing which has grown up between
the court and the grand jury and myself
on the subject the plans I had devised
were of necessity in a measure changed. I
had planned to cast into groups certain
transactions, the criminality of which
were doubtful, and to obtain a ruling
from the court in regard to each of these
groups, haeh of the groups of transac
tions was such as was believed by the
public at large to lie highly criminal,
and while in one sense it was no part of
my duty as a law officer to consider
public opinion, it seem to me that a
public officer should, when it is possible,
make it plain to the people at large the
motives and reason- which guide and
con t ml his conduct.
" And I had hoped by the plans which
I had formed, to make it perfectly clear
to the people at large what acts were
criminal and what acts were not, a'nd
when I had cleared the ground by ju
dicial decision eliminating these large
groups of transactions which are prob
ably not criminal to have the public at
large informed and then attack the n-si-dum
and by an investigation before the
grand jury, ascertained clearly and. defi
nitely the facts and whether any and, if
any, what crimes had been committed.
"There never has been for one mo
ment the thought in my mind that the
bulk of the transactions condemned by
the people generally could be justified
from a moral standpoint, but on the
other hand I was not a censor of morals
in my official capacity. I was an officer
sworn to perform my duty under the
law as I found it."
t llH;u, .March :m. Agitation for
uniform classification of freight, for the
whole Tinted States lias Wen starte,
again. There are at present four olasi
tleatious in use in different parts of the
country, which dilfer widely in the mat
ter of rute which apply to the same ar
ticles, and this ilitfcreucc is the cause of
a great deal of trouble and niiiiovunce to
lmth shipMTs and railroad.
It has been found by Chicago ship
pers that, owing to the fact that both
the official and western classifications
apply in the territory between Chicago
ind the ilisisjppi river, and the clas-i-
ncutiou being so wide apart 111 certain
respects, merchants and manufacturer
east of Chicago have considerable ad
vantage in sending their goods to the
markets, on the Mi.i--ippi ,md inter
mediate territory. Npecille instances ol
this sort have been brought to the at
tention of the railroads by the trans
portation committee of the Chicago Com
mercial Association, with a request that
they tie ratified. Jtailroad men declare
correction is impossible unless a uni
fonn classification is adopted.
It has been discovered that tinder the
official classification articles can be
grouped together in one car and ship
ped from it )int east to Chicago to
the Mississippi river at the carload rate
but the same articles being KhipM'd
from Chicago to the river, coining under
the western classification must be ship
ped at the less than carload rate,
which is considerably higher, especially
in the higher rlase.
