of the weirdest complications that have
ever graced the comic opera stage. The

and unique comedy methods for which
he has become famous. From what is

CAN Spend $4,000 TO
SUPPRESS GAMBLING.
Money Must Be Provided to Enable
District Attorney Jerome to Sup
press Canfield'S and OthcrPlaceS

New York, April 1s.-Funds will be sup
piled by the city for crusade against the
gambling houses. District Attorney
Jerome has authority to spend $4,000. IL
necessary. to obtain evidence against
Richard Garfield. who Is the proprietor
OF a palatial resort in East Forty-fourth
street.
He may spend any part OF this sum
prosecuting the score or moro OF gamblers
whose houses are In the Tenderloin.
And District Attorney Jerome an
nounces that he will do IL. He may find
It necessary TO spend only few thou
sands In Canfeid's, and II may require
only a fraction of the $4,000 TO close the
Tenderloin gambling resorts. but IL Is the
district attorneys intention to avail him
self of the opportunity furnished by an
opinion rendered by Corporation Counsel
Rves He will use an emergency fund
and will enforce the law which prohibits
gambling.
Corporation Counsel Rives has advised
Controller Grout TO pay the bills certified
TO by District Attorney Jerome. This
opinion is the result OF refusal OF the
controller TO pay a bill of $4,000 incurred
by County Detective Mcclellan in obtain
ing evidence OF the violation of the Excise
law in the police precinct commanded by
Captain Foody.
The bill was itemized and showed that
the money was spent for beer and whis-
key in saloons In which the law was be-
ing violated MIR. Grout refused TO pay
the bill. and by agreement between him
self and Mr. Jerome the matter was re-
ferred to the corporation counsel who
in rendering his opinion, has covered the
entire subject OF secret service for the
district attorney. He advises the con-
troller that the district attorney has a
righ TO spend such money as is necessary
10 obtain evidence when there are reasons
for believing that the law is being broken.
Discussing his decision yesterday. Mr..
Rives said that the law is quite plain,
that II has been construed on many pre-
vious occasions and that the opinions
have never varied. When Theodore
