JEROME SEEKS EVIDENCE
New York District Attorney Demands
Papers Bearing on investigation
of Equitable Society Affairs.

A New York dispatch says: District
Attorney Jerome Thursday made al
unsuccessful attempt to secure from
the Office Of First Deputy Super!ntend-
ent of Insurance Robert H. Hunter a
copy of the detailed evidence on the
affairs of the Equitable Assurance So
ciety, taken before Superintendent OF
Insurance Francis Hendricks. This is
the report which already has been
printed, and of which Mr.. Jerome
Thursday said it was funny that
he could not obtain a copy when a
newspaper secured and printed it.
After failure to get the report, the
district attorney sent Deputy Super
irtendent Hunter a letter, in which
he said that he had Governor Higgins
order for a copy Of the report and
requested that it be delivered to one
OF his assistants. Mr.. Hunter de-
clfned to comply with the request
unless Mr.. Jerome gave him receipt
to show that the copy in Mr.. Hun
ter's hands was the property OF SUI
pef,ntendent Hendricks, and would
agree to return it within reasonable
time when requested to do so. Mr..
Jerome then sent another letter to
Mr.. Hunter, in which he detailed all
the correspondence which has passed
between himself and Governor Hig-
gins on the subject as well as copies
of the letters exchanged by the dis,
trict attorney and Mr.. Hendricks.
Concluding the letter says
1T is always the habit OF this Of
fee to receipt for papers and always
the custom of this Office to return
papers to the custody where they be-
long. but it is not the custom of this
Office, nor will the district attorney
agree, to return upon demand to
subordinate a copy of evidence d.
rected to be furnished by the governor
Of the state of New York

intendent OF insurance pursuant to the

Kills Disease Germs.

The great value of Liquozone lies in
the fact that it Is deadly to germs. yet
harmless TO the human body.
In that fact lies It's main distinction.
Common germicides are poisons when
taken internally That is why medicine
has proved so helpless in dealing with
germ diseases.
1t has been proved, in laboratory tests.
that LiQuozone kills every form OF dis
ease germ. Not a known germ can re-
sist 1t. The reason Is attributed to the
fact that germs are vegetables They
apparently absorb this gas-made pro-
duct, and the product prevents their
development.
1t has also been proved. by some OF
the worlds highest authorities. that
Liquozone is harmless to the bodily
