NOT A JEROME CRUSADE, SAYS GRoUT
District Attorney Asserts Evidence Bills
Must Be Paid Under Court Ruling.

Controller Grout took considerable pains yester-
day to explain that he had intention Of starting
q crusade against District Attorney Jerome IN
making public the bills from the District Attor
neys Office incurred by county detectives in getting
evidence against disorderly resorts. The bills
itenized and contain q number of obscene details
with reference the expenditure of money by the
detectives. A number Of reputable newspapers,
The Tribune among others. refused to print any
extended account Of these itemized bills
Controller GroUt. however. would not release
them for publication unless the representa- OF
the papers would pledge themselves to carry the
iternfzad accounts in full Yesterday the Controller
received a round roasting" from all sides for i'm
posing any such condition on the publication OF
public documents.
"The Supreme Court mas decided that the Con-
troller must pay the bills, District Attorney
jerome said yesterday. and so long as the legal
itv of getting the evidence IS not disputed fail
to understand why the details Of expenditure
should be imposed the public The bills are
public documents. and accessible TO any taxpayer
who wants to examine them. Mr. Crout Goes not
deny that nearly ali the places against which the
detectives obtained evidence have been closed IN
ma king comparisons with former administrations
he might remember that this administration is the
only one that has accomplished anything IN tho
way of closing such places

BASED ON RUSSIAN COMMUNICATION
The Strongest Point in the American
Alaskan Boundary Case.

Washington. May 6-The strongest point in the
American case in the Alaskan boundary dispute,
which was recently delivered to the British am
bassador, is the communication of the Russian
ambassador to the British King when he delivered
the exchange Of ratifcations of the Russo-Englsh
treaty in 1925 Il is a part of the record Of the
American case that the ambassador was instructed
by the Russian Government to inform the King
that the Interpretation which the Russians placed
upon the treaty that the clause relating TO ten
marine leagues meant that the distance from the
sea should not be less than ten marine leagues
II is shown by report of the ambassador that he
delivered this instruction 10 the King and that the
contention of Russia that time not disputed
until ten years ago. The fact that there was no
contention over the boundary, and that this inter
probation of Russia was communicated to the
British Government, is believed by the American
Counsel te make strong legal point in favor of
the American claim.

MAY BE GoULD-HARRIMAN WAR.
Colorado and Southern and Denver and Rio
Grande Reported at 0dds-Denied Here.

Denver, Col, May Sit IS reported here to-day
that a struggle is between the Colorado and
Southern Railroad. allied with the Hartman Il ter
ests and the Denver and Rio Grande part OF the
Gould system for control OF the Colorado and
Midland
The primary cause OF the strife is the new MofaI
road from Denver to Salt Lake building.
When the Moffet road refused to grant the Rio
Grande interest IN the survey Of the proposed
line from Kremmlng TO Dotsero which will invade
territory hitherto held exclusively by the latter
road, the Rio Grande set about finding a means of
shortening its line to Salt Lake By building line
direct from Da1ver to some point on the Colorado
Midland. at least hundred miles OF travel could
be saved, and the Rio Grande people began to
negotiate for the Midland
This the purpose of Russell Hardings recent
sojourn in the State. The Colorado and Southern
discovered what being done and, realizing that
such q cutoff as The Denver and Rio Grande pro-
run the coast, il began planning to defeat
the scheme. The Rio Grande threatens the
Southern by holding of renewals Of old arrange
ments about TO expire concerning joint line deals
il the big coal fields.
It is denied in Wall Street hign authority that
there is any conflict between the Denver and Rio
Grande and the Colorado and Southern interests
concerning the control OF the Colorado Midland
over any other point
