Some of William Travers Jerome's
critics, who have been analyzing the
figures in the recently published
official report of his stewardship as
district attorney, have drawn deduc-
tions and made comparisons which
are entertaining and instructive.
The figures show that there were
more crimes brought to the attention
Of Mr.. Jerome during 1905 than to his
immediate predecessor in 1901, but
that the results accomplished by Mr..
jerome were in the inverse ratio
The complaints received in 1905
were 1880, as against 473l in 1901, the
year before jerome took up the reins,
but fewer cases were disposed of,
fewer indictments found and fewer
convictions obtained.
The increase in the number OF
complaints is accounted for in the in
crease Of population, which amounted
to 100000 in the five years ending
December 81, 1905, according to the
board of police reports. The very
large proportion of complaints to con
victions Is nearly all OF the more seri-
GUS crimes.

Paper-A Drop In Rates-
CHICAGO; May 1s.-~An sasisr condition
Of affairs has been manifested among local
banks this week. Money rates have dipped
below 81 per cent, going a. low Al 6 per
cent, but there has been noticeable re-
luotanoe on the part Of the larger banks
TO shade the former figure. In Many cases
banks that are closely loaned have olung
to 81 per cent. as their minimum rate and
are still getting 0 per cent. on some classes
Of loans.
However, this n u~nmistakable evidences
of the money situation working gradually

funds rather smaller at the moment than
formerly deposits have shown q disposi-
ton to increase, thus rendering II necessary
for some banks whose reserves O not

The commercial paper. market has af-
forded an outlet. Banks that have not been
in the market for paper before In weeks
are now buying, and discounts range from

this centre some time ago Is returning
Some Of the authorities believe that the
situation can be accepted only q q being

uce Exchange, which, as stated In TIE
Sun yesterday, selected former Congress
man W. H. Douglas as candidate for presi-
dent, announced these other nominations
yesterday; Vice-President, G. Rabadan;
treasurer. j. R. Livermore; members Of board
of managers, Al. Toomey, P. F. Gerhardt,
W. H. McCord, G. @. Rubens, w. Ring;
trustee of the gratuity fund, John v. Barnes.
At the same time that the nominations
were posted on the bulletin board Of the
exchange the resignation OF Charles @.
Burke as a member Of the nominating
committee was announced. Mr.. Burke
Ia connected with the Standard Oil Com
pany, and his presence on the nominating
committee, which is composed OF the re-
form element, led the supporters Of the
management to charge that the committee
was dominated by the Standard. II is
understood that Mr.. Burke's resignation
was prompted by a desire to relieve the
reformers of this suspicion.
