NOR is correct, in Augustus Belmont,
who is said to have promised Grout
is support District Attorney Jerome
has also been mentioned as "a pos
sible candidate, but his friends are
not particularly demonstrative. In
some circles it is believed quite pos
sible that in case of a deadlock be-
tween the various factions Jerome
may carry off the prize, as he would
undoubtedly be the most acceptable
compromise candidate.
District Attorney Jerome has
scored another point in his persistent
fight against the gamblers and it will
not be his fault if he does not, finally,
succeed in bringing the dangerous
clique to justice. The appellate divi-
sion of the supreme court has given
a decision which sustains the action Of
Justice Mcmahon in the court of gen.
eral sessions, in sentencing Jesse M.
Lewisohn, the copper magnate to ten
days Imprisonment for contempt of
court, in refusing to answer questions
relative to Richard Canfields gambl
mig place This decision upholds the
bill passed by the last Legislature
making testimony in gambling cases
compulsory. 1t is stated, however,
that Lewisohn's lawyers will carry
test the constitutionality of he bill.
This means anoner delay in the pro-
ceedings and, perhaps, the upsetting
of Mr.. Jeromes plans, as some able
attorneys are of the opinion that the
bill is not constitutional.
Herbert D. Hale, a young architect
of Boston and a grandson Of Edward
Everett Hale, is the designer Of the
plans which have been accepted for
the United Engineering building, one
Of the two institutions, toward which
Andrew Carnegie has given a million
and a nalf dollars. The work will be
superintendent by Mr.. Hale, with Mr..
Henry G. Morse, of New York, as his
assistant. Mr.. Hale has been awarded
the prize of $4OO offered to the sue
cessful competitor. The successful
competitors for the Engineers Club
building are Whitfield and King of
this city.
Those who predicted that there
would be a marked decrease in the
ocean travel to Europe this summer
and a large increase in the arrivals
from Europe on account of the ST.
a serious mistake in their calcula-
tions. The fact is that the number
of American tourists going to Europe
this year is exceptionally large, while
the steamers from Europe by no
means carry as many visitors bound
for St. Louis as was expected. Con-
sidering the fact that the st. Louis
exposition is very little talked of in
the east and not much more in other
parts of the country and seems to Gre
ate but little interest in this country
makes it appear less surprising that
the European countries show so little
enthusiasm over the ST. Louis fair.
Many reasons have been given for
this lack of interest and the principal
one seems to be that the MANAGEMENT
of the exposition made the great mis-
proper way. The management seemed
to be under the impression that an
undertaking like a worlds fair did
not require advertising, but would
depend upon it's merits. That was a
serious mistake and it is quite prob
able that somebody will have to pay
for that mistake of Judgment
