INSURANCE SCANDAL
GENERAL TELLS WHY
HE DOESN'T PROSECUTE.
Criminal Proceedings Are Supposed to
Be Started by Prosecuting
Officer Of the County.

Albany, N Y, Oct. 5.--Having been
criticized and importuned SO frequently
of late as to WHY he does not prosecute
alleged criminal offenses brought out
in the recent insurance scandal, Attor-
ney General Mayer tonight made a
statement. In this statement the at
torney general puts it up to the dis
trict attorney of the county in which
fore justifies the attitude assumed by
the attorney general. The statement
follows:
Inquiries are being daily made Of
me by the newspapers and various cor
respondents as to the prosecution of
alleged criminal offenses in insurance.
There seems to be an impression that
the attorney general has original pow
er or authority to prosecute such Of
fenses II they have been committed.
The attorney general has no original
power or authority to prosecute for
criminal offenses, excepting those
against ,ne elective franchises in GER
tain cases.
Section So, of the executive law de-
fines his general duties and reading
of that section will show that author
ity to prosecute criminal offense is
conferred upon him only when requir-
ed by the governor or by the secretary
of state, comptroller, treasurer OF
state engineer in certain cases.
1T is the duty of the attorney gen.
eral to cause all persons indicted for
corrupting or attempting to corrupt
any member or member-elect of the
LEGISLATURE to be brought to trial.
THE initial duty, however, of pros
ecuting indictments found by the
grany jury of any county rests upon
the district attorney Of the county il
which the indictment is found.
81 has been the long settled policy o.
this state not to interfere with the
prosecuting officers of the various
counties unless for some substantial
cause shown"

Dan PATCH
Lowered Track Record, But Failed to
Beat His Own Time.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 5.-Ethel's
Pride, owned by Uncle" John Shep-
pard, of Boston, the favorite in the
Pennsylvania, won the famous stake
this afternoon in three straight heats.
The contest was the most spectacular
seen in light harness racing, as EtheIs
Pride was forced to win each heat by
a nose or a head. The best time, 2:O6
3-4, is two and half seconds slower
than the record established by Tiver-
ton in this race last year.
Dan Patch started to lower HIT
worlds record for light harness, be-
hind a wind shield. He paced mile
in 1856, equalling his own record and
lowering the track record by FIVE sec
onds. The spectators, numbering 49,
900 enthusiastically applauded the
horse ana trainer, H. c. Hersey on the
grand performance.

PAT GROVES STORY
ON THE KIDNAPPING OF EDDIE
CUDAHY DENIED.
Son and Father Both State the Re-
ported Plot For Ransom |,
Preposterous. ..-..

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 5.-Pat Groves
startling statement to the effect that
Eddie Cudahy devised the plot to have
himself kidnapped is regarded il
Omaha as preposterous. Eddie Cudahy
today gave an explicit denial to the
statement of Grove.
There Is not single word OF
truth in the statement that had any
thing to do with the planning or the
carrying out of the scheme, other than
that l was the victim of the plot. The
idea that ! would do anything that
would cause my mother the fear and
anxiety which she suffered while
was in the hands of Grove and his
companions is perfectly absurd. Again,
was only fifteen years old at that
time and II l could plan like that
must have been a perfect wonder.
And being so young, how on earth
would have gotten rid of $4,000 with
out my people knowing it,"
Edward A. Cudahy, the boys father.
has given out a signed statement In
which he says:
"As to the alleged statement ~
Grove that my son was part to the
plot, 1t is so absurd, particularly in
the light of his previous statements,
that | can hardly believe that he made
it. 1t certainly is untrue. For sew
eral years made no effort towards
securing the arrest of Grove, although
having had two letters sent to me-
signed by him admitting that ho,
wanted to start life anew"
Chief of Police Donahue declares
that he has investigated the stato-
ment and characterizes it as IAN in
famous lie."
Groves trial will be pushed to g
speedy conclusion so soon as he Is
brought back here.
