Campaign Gifts Of Trust
Funds Pure Larceny.
is ASSERTION OF JUDGE
And Insurance Officials Who Made
Such Gifts Should Be in Prison."
District Attorney jerome Of
fers to Prosecute.

A New York special says: If the
grand Jury which is investigating
scme OF the conditions developed Dy
the recent legislative investigation,
reaches the conclusion that contribu-
tions of insurance company funds to
political campaign committees were
made with intent to deprive or de-
fraud the true owner of his property,
it must find that larceny was COM
mitted.
This opinion was expressed Friday
by Justice O'Sullivan, in the court Of
general sessions, in answer to pre-
sentiment On the subject submitted 10
him by the grand jury. Judge OSul-
livan added that it is not within the
province of the court 10 say whether
or not there was intent. ..
That is Il question which the jurors
must determine for themselves from
all the facts and circumstances in the
case. He charged the jury to make
thorough investigation into all the
facts AID to place the responsibility
for such crimes, if they fird that
crimes were committed.
you ere not to go seeking for shell
ter rs an excuse to avoid an unpleas-
ant duty" ne said.
This opinion is in effect, directly
opposite 10 one upon the same sub
iect which was given by District At
torney jerome several days ago. Judge
O'sullivan agreed, however, with. the
contention of the district attorney
that intent must have been present
to constitute the crime of larceny, but
declares that the question wE<ther
there was intent is question which
is yet to be determined.
Mr.. Jerome was in court, and when
Judge O'Sullivan had delivered his
opinion the district attorney asked
the grand jury to remain, as he de-
sired to address them upon the sub
ject in question. He declared that
Judge D'Sullivan had misconceiyed
the subject which he had considered
and that he held to the opinion that
it would be the duty Of the grand
Jury to return indictments against
George w. Perkins, former vice pres
ident of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, for larceny, and
against George B. Cortelyou, chair
man, and Cornelius N. Bliss, treasu'
rer of the republican national com
mittee, as receivers of stolen goods
Mr.. Jerome informed Judge O'Sui'
livan that if he would sit as a mag
istrate he would submit affidavlts to
the acts committed by George w. Per
kins and would ask for warrant for
his arrest. He added that in event
of such a warrant being issued, a
writ of habeas corpus would follow
and that the case would be taken
to the highest courts, where the dis
trict attorney would retain Alton b.
Parker as special counsel.
Judge OSullivan declined to grant
the warrant, giving his reason that
the question at issue should be passed
upon by the grand jury.

WORKERS AROUSED

ier the 0iltICai field.
ASSERTION UF GOMPtRS
Unless Grievances Are AIlayed by
the Powers That Es, They will
Be Taken Before the Ameri-
can People for Ad jGdicaSion.

The executive council OF the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor spent some
time in Washington Thursday dis
cusslng the replies Of Preslde1r Roose-
velt and speaker Cannon to the bill
OF grievances presented to them and
to President Pro Ten. Frye, OF the
senate Wednesday, regarding lesisla.
tlon affecting labor interests.
Mr.. Gompers said that the conclu-
ding paragraph in the memorial
meant exactly what it said. That is
if congress fails to remedy the grley-
ances, tho organization will appeal
direct to the people.
In other words, he said the Federa-
ton of Labor will enter the field Of
politics AMI urge organized labor to
elect men of their own choosing ana
thus have a personal voice in the gov
ernment
There will be further discussion OF
the situation by the members Of the
council, among whcm remarks OF tho
president and Mr.. Cannon have made
a deep impression.
Mr.. Gompers insists the council is
in the right regarding the statements
set forth N the bill Of grievances, that
it has abundant proof Of the repre-
sentations made and that the condi-
ton Of affairs in the labor world Is
the best proof of its contentious.

WILlIAMSM MAKESPR0TEST
AGAINST Statement of Watson in His
ffaaazae Arent Question Of CIT.
ting South's Representation.

A Washington dispatch says: Ho2.
John Sharp Williams cf Mississippi,
democratic leader OF the house Of rep
resentatives, raises his voice in vigor-
Gus protest against the remarkable
contention OF Tom Watson. that it
makes no difference if the souta's
representation in congress is redaced.
Being queried on the subject Mr.
Williams said:
1T is curious question to ask
sane man. You might about as well
ask me, if it was of no interest or
value to a man to cut off one of his
arms, with which he fights and with
which he 1esists.
The answer seems so obvious that
it is hard to answer at all. In addi-
ton to the ordinary legislation con-
cerning rivers and harbors, rural free
delivery and the hundred and one
other things, in which each part of
the union is interested in seeing that
it gets Justice and fair dealing, there
are the great principles Of a funda-
mental character, concerning which
people differ, not only as individuals,
but As sections. The less votes a Sec
ton has, the less its power to do its
own will, or to resist others when they
would do their will against it.
IF the south had had less repre-
sentation than it now has, the re-
publicans would have had a two
thirds majority-and therefore a con-
stitution-cnanging majority-in a half
dozen CONGRESSES, where they have
rot had it. In addition to all this,
there are sentimental reasons why
the south wants to remain as strong
as possible in the popular body OF
the national legislature. Her. tradi-
tions and ideals are strong in propor-
ton to her representation

raj college should be cut in accord
ance with the schedule outlined by
Representative Keifer republican,
in the reduction bill he has intro

Watson, in the March issue of his
magazine, declares:
"It makes no difference whatever
to Georgia or to the people in her
limits whether she has six representa-
tives in congress (the number pro-
posed by General Keifer) or eleven
(the number to which the state is
entitled)."
The Keifer schedule provides for
the following. reductions in the repre-
sentation of the southern states:

WANT POLL TAX CUT OUT.
6imonsville Fire Fighters Think City Should Exempt Them From It.

The Simonsville fire company Is of the opinion, and rightfully so, too, that its members should be exempt from poll tax, the same as members of the other departments, but so far as can be learned the officials do not see 1t that way, and take the ground that they are no more entitled to ex- emption than are the members of the several factory fire companies. This may be true, but after all there is vast difference between the company in Simonsville and the ones in the shops. In the latter place the men get some remuneration and besides they do not go outside the plant to fight fires In the other case the men get nothing and yet they stand ready to turn out and render such service as they are capable of performing in any part of the district. To be sure the city loaned them a jumper and a few feet of hose. but they could af- i ford to do more than that. They |should pay the rent of house and strain a point If necessary to let them out on their poll tax. Men who are less deserving pay no poll tax, and 1t is not at all likely that any body would object if the collector asked that the poll tax assessed against members of that company be abated.

ME. LATHROP IS DENIED.
pudge Rood Will Not Allow Her Any 1 Additional AIlmony.

Before leaving for home yesterday Judge Reed of the superior court handed down a few decisions. To- ward the close of the testimony in the Lathrop divorce case, it will be remembered that Mrs Lathrop's coun- sel, Attorney O'Neill, introduced a motion for additional alimony, claim ing that her physical condition was such that she was almost in constant need of a physician. The motion Judge Reed denied. Mrs Lathrop is in receipt of $50 a month from her husband. In the contested divorce suit of Elnathan Gagely against Ade- laide Gazely. the latter applied for counsel fee. It was claimed in this case that Mrs Gazely was far better of in this worlds goods than was her husband. A short time before the motion was filed 1t was shown that she bought a piano and horse and buggy and, in the words of Attorney O'Neill, was sporting around" This motion was also denied.
