ROOT FAvORS JEROME.
Secretary of State Advocates His
Re-election-ChOate's Praise.

NEW YORK. Nov. BIO any one
who attended the crowded mass meet
ing of the prominent lawyers in Car
negie hall in support of District At
torney Jerome there is no doubt about
the fact that, stimulated by Mr.. Je-
rOme's campaigning, the voters of New
York city are tired Of machine rule
and are ready to revolt from the party
bosses. Such enthusiasm seldom ac-
companies a big meeting during a
presidential campaign.
The Hon. Joseph II. Choate was
cheered again and again for himself
and for his attitude in regard to Je-
rome's candidacy.
MI. .Jerome's entrance was dramatic
and brought forth more applause than
any other candidate has received this
fall. The house stood up and cheereh
itself hoarse for three minutes. and il
was as much longer before quiet could
be restored so that the meeting could
proceed. There were 1000 persons
present, and the only reason there
wasn't four times more was because
no more could get tickets.
Every one there looked upon Je.
rome's reelection as assured and upon
that fact as a vindication of American
citizenship. They greeted him and
spoke of him among themselves as a
modern Moses. come to lead them
from the bondage of the political boss.
es. Every one felt that it was a priv.
lege to have been there. and they were
right, for Jerome's campaign is unique
1t is history making and bids far to
alter for years the course of local poll
tics.
Elihu Root, secretary of state, has
written a letter 10 Charles A. Flam'
mer, congratulating him on his with
drawal from the Republican ticket ana
advocating the reelection of Mr.. Je'
rome. Mr.. Root said:
Il congratulate you upon your with
drawing from the race for the district
attorneyship. 1t was public spirited
and wise and shows the qualities which
have made you such a good Judge ana
such Il good citizen. The selection OF
a district attorney is not so much a
question of one party against another
as it is of all honest people against all
the crooks and criminals of every KIND
Jerome now seems to have a gooo
chance of election. and his election
would be a great thing for New York
He has vigor and fearlessness and en-
thusiasm in the cause Of justice and
hates a thief and cannot be hushed ur
or put to sleep by any influence what
soever. Every man who cares about
having a decent, %lawablding tow
ought to be for him."
The appellate division of the supreme
court sustained the decision of Justice
Slower, who refused to Issue a writ Of
mandamus commanding the board OF
elections to substitute the name OF
William Travers Jerome for that OF
Charles A. Flammer in the Republican
column of the ballot for the office Of
district attorney of New York.

Large Audience Enjoyed Second Per-

 The second performance of "El Cspt- tan" by the Olympia Opera Company at the Pickett Springs Casino last night was no less success than the first per- formssice.
 A large and appreciative audience
 filled the pretty little playhouse. and every number received repeated en- cores. Ed Eagleton has been seen be- fore the Olympia Company made It's advent to Montgomery as "El Capitan' in this city At that time the people who saw him declared that with the ex- ception of not reciting Casey at the Bat" he was the equal of DeWolf Hop per in the part. The people did not un- | derestimate the ability of Eagleton. "El Capitan" is his best part. and he showed the patrons of the company just how good he could be. As the bragadocio cowardly viceroy and warrior, he has a | field that any comedian could make good in, but few comedians could make as completely as Eagleton.
 Miss Kendall seemed out of place as | Estrella. This attractive woman is un'
 doubtedly clever. but her figure is tot
 substantial for the petite girl. snamorst
 of the fake fighter. Her speciality was thoroughly enjoyed.
 Joe Alexander had the part of pezzo | the Prime Minister, and this veteran

 Track Pool Rooms.
 New York. Sept. 14.--The greatest obstacle to closing the race track pool
 rooms in New York was today declared
 by Police Commissioner McAdoo to De
 injunctions granted by the courts Tn favor of pool rooms. Mir. McAdoo said:
 ";rhe police are confident that many of these places from which they are restrained by injunction are running as pool rooms It Is a practice now among places which secured inJunctions to remain quiet for while to let the in junction soak In. Lawyers then threaten me with peril and damages if raise a finger. Then slowly but surely. with patrons who are carefully identified and so well known as to be safe and steady customers, the place IS launched on its career of crime. "I say this because I am constantly | in receipt of appeals from people living | in neighborhcods where they claim pool rooms are being run. I have before me now a fearful letter from father who tells me that his son is being ruined by playing the races in a place where the police are entoined from in- terfering. Tn this place, as in others a fictitious business Is conducted as a mask to the violation of law. The 1 total number of such places Is large and they are increasing each day"
