This is frank, fair and square.

ENEMY OF GAMBLERS
JEROME OF NEW YORK AND HIS
REFORM CRUSADE

The Courageous District Attorney
Talked of as a GubernatOrinI Cam
didate 1.-THE Politician Militant"
and His Strenuous Career.
William Travers Jerome, whose de-
terInfned fight as district attorney
against gambling and all kinds of vice
in New York city has attracted nation
al attention, is Row talked of as Il can
didate for governor of the state Of
New York on the Democratic ticket.
The campaign which District Attorney
Jerome has been urging against gam
bling and kindred vice in New York is
similar in some respects to the cam
paign of Joseph w Folk against
graft and doodle" in st. Louis, n
campaign which has brought his name
into such prominence as n foe of vice
that he has even been talked of as the
Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency.
When Mr.. jerome assumed Office it
was commonly said that certain rich
and powerful men. generally supposed
to be interested in New York gambling
establishments, were immune from
prosecution. Mr. Jerome determined
TO obtain evidence, if possible, against
such men and bring them before the
bar of justice. In carrying out this
plan he caused to be raided the elegant
mansion of Richard Garfield, filed
with works of art and other evidences
of wealth and luxury, but alleged by
the district attorney TO be a gambling
club. To prosecute Garfield the district
attorney needed certain witnesses, and
one of these refused to testify on the
ground that such testimony would in
eliminate him. The court of appeals
sustained this contention. To obviate
the difficulty the district attorney went
to the Legislature and obtained the pas
sage of a bill, which was recently
signed by Governor Odell and has been
known as the Garfield act"
The enactment of this law will make
possible the successful prosecution Of
gamblers because witnesses can be

compelled to testify. AS soon as 1t
was signed by the governor the Can
field mansion was sold.
District Attorney Jerome has been
called 1.-The politician militant" be-
cause he is always looking for a fight
with the opponents of law and order
and the enemies of good morals. His
appearance does not give the impress
sion of a particularly strenuous man.
He is by no means so aggressive look
ing, for instance, as President ROOse
welt, but that he is full of energy in
the work of warfare against vice and
crime his career is ample proof.
Mr.. Jerome may be nominated for
governor or some other office higher
than that which he now holds, but it
is his aim to follow the advice of u
relative who told him when he first
entered politics, William, when a man
holds a public Office he should act as
if he never expected to hold another"
Perhaps his acting on this advice ac-
counts for the fearlessness shown by
the district attorney in his public acts
and in his statements regarding public
matters. The almost reckless indie
Ienged the admiration even of those
who did not wholly agree with him.
One night about forty-three years
ago two we'll known New Workers, VIII
liam Travers and Lawrence w. Jerome,
were dining together at DelmonicO's.
The two were close friends. \ mes
senger came in with a note for Mr..
Jerome which announced that another
son had been born to him.
What's the buffers name?' asked
Travers when he learned the purport
of the message.
William Travers Jerome"' was the
prompt response of the happy father.
Mr.. jerome was not healthy as a boy,
but he developed himself by exercise
Since his entry into politics, and espe-
ciaIly since his election as district at
torney, Mr. Jerome's life has been
strenuous one in every sense of the
word. 4 man cannot keep his phys
zeal organism in the proper condition
under these circumstances unless he
has some way OF relaxing his nerves
and obtaining thorough recreation.
District Attorney Jerome finds such a
resource in his den or workshop ar his
country place at Lakevflle, Conn. and
his fad is tinkering clocks. His work
shop contains an elaborate collection of
machinery, engines dynamos, carpen-
ter's tools, etc. and in this queer re-
treat Mr.. Jerome obtains both exercise
and complete abstraction.

OPPOSED TO ARMOR.
SENATOR HALE, WHO SAYS BATTLE
SHIPS ARE OBSOLETE.

Thinks Sea Fights In the Far East
Prove His COntentiOn-NavaI Ex-
perts Hold Different Views-Admi7
raj MalknrOn's Theory.
That the modern battleShip is not
likely to become obsolete in the near
future seems to be the preponderance
of expert naval opinion the world over
Notwithstanding the recent sensational
remarks of Senator Hale of Maine re-
garding its usefulness.
BaSing his opinion on the recent dis
asters ut Port Arthur, Senator Hale,
who is chairman of the senate naval
affairs committee, practically said that
the battleship has outlived its useful
ness and that Uncle Sam had made a
bad bargain in spending large sums on
this class of ships. Naval authorities,
however, take issue with Mr.. Hale's
conclusions, which they regard as
hardly warranted by events in the far
east. They maintain that so long as
other nations build battleships this
country must do the same if it would
keep its navy in condition to meet a
foreign foe on the sea. They believe
that when the time comes, if it ever
does. for the abandonment of this type
of warship it will have to be aban-
doned by all nations simultaneously,
giving place to some much more pow
erful form of naval weapon.
Probably the only great naval man
of modern times irreconcilably opposed
to battleships and heavily armored
cruisers was Vice Admiral Makaroff,
who by the manner of his death helped
to prove the truth of his pet theory. He
would not regard battleships in any
other light than as targets for torpe-
does. what good are those swollen
worms? Their bodies are large, but
they cannot move, and a few ants will
destroy them"
According to Russian naval author
ity these words were used by Makarof
in combating the scheme to build the
Retvizan, the Gromovoi, the BorodinO
and other huge vessels at the time of
Russia's great naval expansion a few
years ago. He wanted the money to
be spent for light cruisers, destroyers
and such craft His chief opponent
was Admiral Alexeieff, who was firm
believer in the battleship.
They were the most powerful and in
fiuential of the Russian admirals. and
their fight over this question agitated

SENATOR EUGENE HALE.

Russian naval circles for years. Even
tually AleXeieff won, for he was sup
ported by nearly all the other naval
experts, while Makaroff's views were
regarded as revolutionary by his own
profession. Almost his only disciple
was Admiral Skrydloff, who has just
succeeded him in command of the
eastern feet. The battleships were
built, and it was on one of these de-
spised ships that Makarof lost his life.
When he first assumed command at
Port Arthur he carried out his theory
by hosting his flag on small unar-
mored vessels like the Askold and No
vik. If he had continued that policy
he would probably be alive today.
Naval experts generally say that bat
tleships are absolutely necessary for
conducting effective warfare. 1t is only
when they are accompanied by armor-
ed ships that the lighter classes of YES
sells I'm feet are useful. a fleet of tor
pedo boats, cruisers, submarines and
all such craft, without the protection
of the armored vessels, would be eff
fective only temporarily, say the eX-
perts, and could be easily routed and
destroyed by a few big battleships.
Senator Eugene Hale is a native of
the Pine Tree State, received an aca-
demic education and was admitted to
the bar in 1857. He began practice at
Ellsworth, Me, and that city has since
been his home. He went to Washing
ton in 1899 as member of the Forty
first congress and was four times re
elected After an interim Of two years
he was elected TO the senate to sue
coed Hannibal Hamlin, taking his seat
March 4, 1881. Since then he has been
regularly returned. He was twice
asked TO take cabinet portfolios, opce
by General Grant and again by Presi-
dent Hayes, but each time declined the
honor.
Only four members of the two houses
of congress antedate Senator Hale in
service in the national councils-Al-
lison, Stewart and CUllom of the sen
ate, and Ketcham I'm the house: but his
total service exceeds in years that Of
all OF these but Allison. Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts entered congress 81
simultaneously with Hale and has two
years the advantage OF the SNaine
statesman In length Of service in the
two houses. John II. Ketcham Of New
York is the only individual who is a
member Of the present house who was
also a member of that body in 1859.
