rAMMANY ZOE IERoME.
denomination Now Thought to Be a
Possibility.


New York, Dee 5. It does not seem
unlikely that District Attorney jerome
viii be nominated BY Tammany Hail, to
succeed himself. His nomination would
be one Of Tammany's ewar measures"
rammany is in distress. The Gas Trust
contracts incident, the detection Of the
Hearst men, and the militant strength
Of the Republicans under the direction
OF Governor Odell, are three factors
which these days are worrying Tammany
men close TO Charles F. Murphy. The
change in the situation has come quick
ly, and greatly to the surprise Of the
politicians themselves, the mayoralty
campaign is already under way. Dis
trict Attorney jerome would accept a
Tammany nomination if there was no
string" TO it, and if the Tammany
leaders next year showed a disposition
to retrieve the mistakesof the Mcclellan
administration.
If, however, Murphy should attempt
to reward certain of his friends by load
ing up the ticket as the Sulliyans loaded
up the county ticket IN 1901, with I'M
popular and dicredited followers, Mr., Je-
rome would not accept q nomination Of
any character from Tammany hall. "The
district attorney said one Of his per-
sonal friends yesterday, would prefer to
continue for four years more as district
attorney.
IA Iammany next summer should be
in such bad way that only Jerome's
nomination would save it; that is 70
say, if certain scandals should develop
along criminal lines, and 1t should be-
come apparent that Tammany ought to
be turned out Of Office, then Mr.. Jerome
would not for an instant consider a
nomination at its hands,
what if he didn't get the nomina.
ton for district attorney from Tammany
hall, and the Citizens Union wanted
him to lead it's mayoralty ticketg'
In such case, said Mr.. Jerome's
friend he would take the nomination
III it should develop that there we're
Aagrant abuses that would not be cor
rected By either the Republicans or Tam
many. He probably would make a fine
run, as he is strong on the East Side.
For about three years he has been liv-
ing on the East Side, seeing people at
night after hours, and counselling them
in business and legal difficulties. He
has come to know them, and they know
him. Not less than thirty thousand
men and women have been to his house
in Rutgers street since he moved there
three years ago. That kind of work
counts for lot in a local election"

Helen Wilmnns-POst. Guilty.

Mrs. Helen Wilmans Post, the
mental science healer of SeabreeZe,
has been found guilty of fraud by II
jury in the United States district
court at Jacksonville.
The charge against Mrs. Post was
that of violating section No. 54S0 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States by devising a scheme to de-
fraud and using the mails to advance
said scheme. The government con-
tended that her mental science heal
ing was fraud; that she knew it
was a fraud; that she knew she
could not do what she claimed to be
able to do, and that she did not be-
lieve that she could do what she
claimed. From the verdict it is evil
dent that the jury was satisfied that
the Government had proven all of
the charges set forth in the indict-
ment
The penalty provided for the vio-
lation of Section $50 of the Revised
Statutes is a fine of not more than
$500 and Imprisonment for not more
than eighteen months, or both, in
the discretion of the court. Sen
tence will not be passed in this case
until some time next week.

NJ. o. Osteeu, a leading man of
HOllister, was in the city Wedues-
day. Mr.. Osteen represents that the
people of his place are up in arms
against the recent order of the
school board which curtails the
school term from six to five months,
owing to lack of funds. The school
at Hollister had already run one
week into the sixth month when the
order came, but the people of that
place have retained one teacher,
Miss Carrie Roger, and will continue
the school at private expense. Mr..
Osteen is of the opinion that it
would be just as well to do away
with public schools entirely and al
low each community to provide its
own school. Under that system he
feels that communities would know
what to expect.
