JEROME IS NOW
READY 70 ACT
Take Up Matter Of President
Peabody Of Mutual
Life

New York. Dec. 27.--Dstrict Attor-
hey Jerome has written letter to
=. Cady Herrick, of counsel for the
Mutual Life policy holders association
saying he is now willing to take up
the matter concerning the charges
against President Peabody Of the
Mutual Life of coercion in connection
With the election of trustees. The
charges We're brought to the atten-
lion of the district attorney by Mr..
Herrick. Mr.. Jerome refused to act
on them at the time on the ground
that he did not want his Office used
To influence the election of trustees
in the Mutual Life"
The district attorneys letter was
referred to John Dewitt Warner
chief counsel for the policy holders
association, who in turn handed it
over to Russell w. Fish, secretary or
the association. Mr.. Fish, in a COM
munication to Warner, sets forth the
attitude of the association regarding
Jerome's determination to take up
the matter now In it Mr.. Fish said:
As to the attitude of this associa-
titn in bringing the charges against
Mr.. Peabody. I understand your pur-
pose was 10 prevent the continuing of
the crime of coercion OF employees in
behalf of the administration ticket,
rather than to bring about the pun
tshment Of a completed crime after
the criminal had profited to the full
lest extent. While the punishment
OF the crime Is important and the as
ISOLATION trusts that the district at
torney will take up the matter vigor-
ously, nevertheless in view of the fact
that the election is over and by Mr..
Jerome's acquiescence Mr.. Peabody
and his fellow lawbrealkers have al
ready reaped the fruits of their lille
gal actions SO that our interest lis only
that OF all citizens, we feel that any
criminal action to be taken at this
time is the concern Of the district
attorney as such rather than ours.
The witnesses in this matter were, as
the district attorney is aware, clients
OF Albert s. Nard who will no doubt
arrange to produce them at Mr..
Jsrome's request. We think they will
be- easily available II convinced that
Nr Jerome means business
The witnesses referred to were

GOV. COOLING ON COMMISSION,
Severely Denounces Oregon Short Line
FOr Incapacity.

Boise. Dec 27.-The Associated Press
dispatch from Washington giving
some extracts from a letter from Gov
Gooding to Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Lane, was shown to the gov
ernor this evening with a request fol
q, statement on the subject. The gov
ernor said 1t was not his intention to
make the correspondence nor the re-
port OF the state migration commits
sioner public. While he had thought
for a long time Of making a settlement
for. the public, he had come to the
conclusion that it would be better not
to DO So in view OF the fact that the
railway company was making an In
creased effort to get coal to the peo-
pie. But since Commissioner Lane had
made public portion of his letter,
ne had concluded to make public all
the correspondence referred to in that
letter. In response to an inquiry as to
the statement that he intended to rec
ommend the enactment of a railway
commission law, the governor said
ne had made up his mind that the time
had come for such legislation in this
state. He had considered the sub
ject very carefully, he said, giving due
weight to all the reasons for and
against such step, and it was his
conviction that the interests Of the
state demanded such legislation at
the coming session. Therefore he had
determined to make a recommendation
OF that character in his message to the
legislature. In his letter to Commits
doner Lane, which is dated Dec. 20,
me governor stated that temporary
relief, with the balance coming up,
had been secured, and added: II have
promises from the railroad company
that II will make strenuous efforts 70
relieve the situation and I am salts
fled that 1t is now doing all it can"
He announced his intention to rec
ommend the enactment OF a railway
commission law, using the following
language:
In my message to the legislature
which meets on Jan. Z, I shall recon- /
mend the creation Of a railway COM |
mission. and have every reason to be- |
lieve that such a law will be passed. |
creating such body. The state will, |

before the fond farewell was spoken he
went to the head OF the concern and asked
fos letter OF recommendation that would

The boss cheerfully complied, and going

ment which he signed and handed to the
discharged one. The young man read it
very carefully and then broke into Il loud

to disappear from the ocean high ways, fol
training on sailing ships is thought to be
essential to the successful navigation Of
steamships" He continues:
"Germany, which has one OF the most
aggressive merchant marines aaoat. has
taken the initiative in the matter of OBJ
tanning sailor bred recruits for her steam
ship lines, and has co-operated with the
North German Lloyd Steamship Co., In
maintaining several full-rigged sailing
ships in commission, where young men
can secure thorough sea training. Such a
plan has frequently been urged for the
consideration OF American shipowners. -
II might be added that the city OF New
York does maintain training-ship OF a
similar sort, as do the cities of Boston and
Philadelphia, while the United States
government is more and more training its
young officers on steamers. This is true Of
both the revenue marine and the navy,
the former having just given up its prac-
tice barque in favor of the gunboat Ban
croft. So far as Annapolis is concerned,
while the cadets are still taught how to
sail, there was not this year a single sail
ing ship among the vessels assigned for
the annual practice cruise.
II 1t is demonstrated that course of
training of the old order is really indis-
pensable to the modern navigator, enough
suitable training-ships will certainly be
established somehow. On the other hand,
II officers trained to steam alone are per-
fectly competent to handle steamships in
all contingencies, nothing can keep the
square-rigger from disappearing even as a
curiosity. Neither assumption, however,
can yet be said to have been adequately
tested
