THEY'RE A BAD LOT.
District Attorney Jerome Discusses
New York Police.

New York. Feb 24-Distrfct At
torney Jerome, speaking of the propo-
S1t1on to open the saloons part of Sun
day. before the Peoples Institute club
said:
There are some honest men on the
police force. But if the people knew
the truth about the bulk of the higher
police officials they would take the
law in their own hands like the people
of Montana and California with their
vigilance committees and annihilate
them When you remember that the
collection of SIS tribute only for each
saloon in a precinct, would in some of
the larger precincts amount to $4,000
a year, you will have some idea of the
possibilities.
More than this, even today there is
not d street on which cars run that
pickpockets are not operating under
distinct contract with central office de-
tectiveS. There is a man now await
ing sentence in the Tombs and, even
if he is a thief, 1 believe him, for I
have corroborated much that he told
me, and he says that the police de-
manded so per cent as their part of
the proceeds"
Mr.. Jerome declared that the cor
ruption of the police force was largely
due to the existence of a liquor law
that was unenforcea ble-in the sense
that the community was against its
strict enforcement, not that the Of
fcials were powerless to enforce il if
they wanted to do so. It's enforce
ment, he declared, meant political
suicide for the party that attempted it.
even Roosevelt" said Mr.. Jerome,
with all the direction and force that
he exercised when police commission
er, was able to bring to justice only
one-fiftieth of one Per cent of the vio-
lators of the law. The only prac-
tfcabIe result of the crusade was to
put up the charge of blackmail from
SIS a week to SO and $40 in some in
stances. And what was the moral eff
feet of trying to enforce the law? The
turning out of a good administration
and nothing more"

Belts TOOK 1T OFF.
Senator Attempted to squeIch Another
Railroad Bill.

More scandal has come to light in
regard to railway legislation by the
legislature. Early in the session a,
bill for the regulation of car service
and providing penalties for failure to
supply cars to shippers within a speci-
fed time, was introduced in the house
by Representative Guyer, and also in
the senate by Senator Hodges.
The bill introduced in the senate
was referred to the railroad commit
tee, of which Senator Belts is chair
man. Time dragged along and finally
when inquiry was made in regard to
the bill it was announced that the
bill had been lost by Senator Belts,
who had charge of the bills referred
to his committee.
In the meantime the bill was passed
by the house and was sent to the SEN
ate. Senator Hodges made an investi-
cation and discovered the condition of
things and consequently made q mo-
ton to have the Guyer bill as passed
by the house placed upon the senate
calendar for consideration.
Yesterday it was discovered that the
bill had been taken from the senate
calendar. Senator Hodges made in
quiry of the chief clerk and learned
from that official that Senator Belts
had told him to take it from the cal
endar.
The matter was then reported to
Lieutenant Governor Hanna. and he is
said to be very indignant at the atti-
tude of Senator Belts in presuming to
interfere in this manner. Lieutenant
Governor Hanna ordered the bill put
back in its place on the senate calen-
dar.
This is an example of the deep in
terest Senator Belts is taking III tile
fulfllment of his ante-election pledges
to his constituents in regard to rail-
Way legislation

TO BE HEARD TUESDAY.
And-Discrimination Bill Made a spe-
ciaI Order.

Speaker Stubs this afternoon
moved that the anti-discrimination
bill be made a special order for next
Tuesday at o'clock.
The motion aroused considerable
discussion, and some of the members
tried to keep the bill in the rear.
Speaker Stubs said: "The author of
the bill assures me that the poison can
all be taken out of the bill by suitable
am endments.''
The motion carried by a decisive
majority.
Mr. Scherme rhorn. chairman of the
committee on railroads, moved that
the house nonconcur in the senate
amendments to the railroad bill and
ask for conference committee. Sew
eraI members spoke emphaticaIly
against such action. They said they
wanted to study the senate amend
ments before rejecting them. Mr.
Schermerhorn withdrew his motion.
The house then went into committee
of the whole with Mr.. O Shant in the
chair, and considered general bills on
the calendar.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
Kansas is maintaining her old reputa-
ton for robust and radical dealings
with any attemnt to trample upon and
enslave her free and Independent citi-
zenship. The recent developments of
the war of that state on the Standard
Oil monopoly are in the most charac-
teristic Kansas form, and are refresh
ing evidence that there are some COM
munities left in which the funtinental
rights Of the people to carry on bust
ness are still asserted and maintained
IT matters not which is the aggressor
on those rights, a great capitalistic
combine or a labor organization, it
should be boldly and persistentIy re-
sisted. The provocation has been great,
and the people of Kansas cannot be
blamed for rising UP in their wrath ana
majesty.

REMOTE SECTIONS.

Geo. B. Jacobs, E. M., of this city, who recently returned from an ex- tended trip into western Chihuahua and over into the Sahuaripa district, is much impressed with the wonderful success of reverberatory furnaces for smeIting ores as is done at the La Bufa copper mines, says the Chihua. hua Enterprise. These furnaces burn wood" said Mir. Jacobs, land are a success. They can be built on the ground out of material which can be found in the country. They are e proven success at La Bufa where there is 15-ton and a 5O-ton furnace in operation. One is in operation al Cienguita In the Sahuaripa district and others are being built. They are just what Is needed in those remote sections, for the matte can be shipped comparatively easy. I think the day Is near when reverberatory furnaces will dot the rich, remote Sierra Madre country"
 MT. Jacobs has been making a study of this class of furnaces and their adaptability to the needs of min ing operations and is competent to judge.

OLD DOMINION DIVIDEND.

After many years of waiting a div idend has at last come from the Globe camp. The Old Dominion company of Maine, which is holding company and owns most of the Old Dominion company that has been at work at Globe so long, and all of the United Globe company, has paid dividend. The dividend was paid out of the earnings of the United Globe mines. The Old Dominion company will have it's debt paid up by the first of the year, and then it will begin paying dividends. It was great thing for Globe and the stockholders of the Old Dominion company when Phelps Dodge Co.,, organized the Old DominS ion company of Maine, and combined the twp Globe properties. There were a few stockholders of the Old Dominion company who would not put their stock into the combination, and they miss this dividend.

last fiscal year Americas sales of copper to foreign countries were $S6, 900, 900. The consumption of copper is growng by leaps and bounds in all the countries of the world, and, as a consequence. Americas export cop per trade should be $100,000,000 in 1905 At the present rate of growth it would double itself every seven years.
 Electricity is not the only cause of the amazing growth of the world s consumption of copper. The bronze and brass used on a man-of-war like the Kentucky is enormous. Few peo- pie conceive the amount of copper necessary to supply the brass and bronze and wire and copper itself needed by ~ the Waldorf-Astoria and other great hotels built in America and Canada in recent years. There is not a carriage or a coach, or a palace-car, or an automobile, or boat, or a building, great or little. under construction in any part of the world. but is using up copper.
 It is, therefore, of paramount i'm portance to secure new copper sup plies. If new supplies do not come into the market, the industrial world may have to pay for a time famine prices for metal. If copper goes to 20 cents a pound, consumption will be marred and halted to the great disadvantage of the worlds indusI trial progress.-Boston News Bureau.

tact if he met one on the trail, should tell about the millions his mine is
 making, is incomprehensible, but that
 a mining stock manipulator, such as
 Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, should rant in similar strain is less under standable. Yet, that gentleman in his "Frenzied Finance" contribution to "EYerybody's" October number, says that Senator w. A. Clark is making ten million dollars net profits annually from the United Verde copper mine in Arizona. United Verde copper must be worth a heap Of money to yield Senator Clark ten million dollars q year net profits. The United Verde has been producing an average of thir- ty million pounds of copper a year. Now let us do some figuring:
 To realize sum of ten million dol lars gross, the thirty million pounds of copper at the United Verde would sell for thirty-three aud one-third cents per pound. How, therefore, Senator Clark has been making ten million dollars a year, net, from the United Verde is one of those things occasion ally encountered that is difficult to understand. Something like one mill lion five hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars year are the net profits of the United Verde-not ten millions.-Mining Review.

DETROIT COMPANY BUYS CLAIMS

The Detroit Copper Mining compa. ny has just bought number of claims in the district adjoining the Santa Rosa mine near Metcalf and will commence developing them at once. The work done on the Santa Rosa during the past year has done much to develop the claims and it Is thought by mining men familiar with the dis trict that these claims will some day prove to be of great value. The fact that there is considerable activity in
