JEROME IN ANGER
W|THDRAWS FROM
INVESTIGATION

New York. March 21.-District Attorney
Jerome withdrew from the investigation
into the jury-nxing scandal before City
Court Justice Seabury. who is sitting as
magistrate. last evening. Before he left
the court room Mr.. Jerome told Justice
Seabury that i'm all his experience he had
never seen such a proceeding = the one
in progress and frankly confessed thai
"he didn,t know where -Aa-IraS- ~ .
Justice Seabury replied that he did not
propose to be lectured by the district at
torney, who was at liberty to withdraw IL
he so pleased
The row happened during the examlna-
tion OF Stanley s. Bragg. who was former
ly employed by the Metropolitan Street
Railway company as an Investigator.
Bagg made a confession to the district at
torney In which he admitted that he had
taken part in the bribing OF a juror.
William S. Tillinghast. who is now in the
penitentiary, convicted OF impersonatng
a juror.
When Bagg went on the stand yester-
day Il developed that he was prepared 10
repudiate his confession and was now go
ing TO tell the whole truth, as he called L..
He then denied ever having anything 10
do with the bribing OF Tillinghast.
Mr.. Jerome refused 10 continue the ex-
animation OF the witness. saying that he
could never bring such a self-confessed
liar before a grand jury
The particular purpose OF yesterdays
proceedings was 10 discover what EVIL
dence there exists against Ambrose T..
McCabe. assistant attorney for the Met
ropoltan interests. who was charged with
bribng a juror, Tillinghast, in an accident
suit.

AUTOMOB|L|STS
HAVE EYES ON
THE ASSEMBLY

Local automobilists are very much in
terested in the effort TO secure an appro-
priation from the state to enable the state
board OF public roads To improve East
Waterman avenue. East Providence, be-
yond Broadway Six Corners.
This Is that portion OF the main highway
between Providence and Fall River which
runs through East Providence, and which
in that town is one OF the worst roads OF
which that politically warm municipality
can boast.
There has long been a lively demand for
its Improvement, but until now little more
than useless wind jamming" has re
suited.
The East Providence town council put
forth energy to recommend that this road
way be placed under state control and the
state board has not concealed it's entire
sympathy with such purpose. but II r.
powerless TO act without n special appro-
priation from the general assembly. as no
portion Of the proceeds OF the recent bond
Issue can be used except for the sections
specifically provided for
IL Is generally believed the desired ap-
preparation will be forthcoming, as the
movement has so much support from in
f1uential sources, and the owners OF auto
mobiles as we'll as those OF horses and the
residents OF East Waterman avenue are
looking with eager expectation toward the
sapient and public-spirited gentlemen who
hold the destinies OF Rhode Island in their
hands for while--or who think they do
anyway-on Capitol hill.

as a story, is too well known for com
ment, but it must be admitted that
the playwright has improved upon the
plot to such an extent that the play is
far more interesting than the book.
Dramatic license is somewhat elastic
at times, to say the least, and in the
play the most dramatic and exciting
points of the book are thought out
with decisive action and powerful
clearness; nor is the comedy found
wanting. Much humor is intermin-
gled with the episodes of the drama,
making as a whole a play novel and
interesting in the extreme. A COM
pany of players well suited to their
respective roles have been engaged
to interpret the well known charac-
tiers, and a most enjoyable evenings
entertainment is promised to all low
ers of the good and best amusements.
