PLACE BLAME
ON JEROME
Political Contributions by Insurance
Men Not Inquired Into.
GRAND JURY MAKES REPORT

Recorder coH Accepts the Present
ment, but says the Jury Failed to
Do Its Whole Duty--Refers to the
Attitude Assumed by the District
Attorney.
New York, May Upon the COM
pletion of it's term the grand jury for
April returned presentment to Re
corder Goff in which it declared that
It had failed to investigate political
contributions by insurance officials be
cause District Attorney jerome had
advised the jury not to do so.
The jury stated it had asked Mr..
Jerome for evidence against the in
surance officials, and that he had OPP
posed action because he desired first
to secure an opinion from the appel
late division of the supreme court OF
this state on the question whether
such political contributions consti-
tuted larceny. Such an opinion, Mr.
given early in May and the cases could
then be taken up by a special grand
jury, which he had asked for.
Justice Greenbaum, the district at
torney informed the jury, had already
decided that the contributions were
larceny, but Mr.. Jerome expressed his
doubts whether this ruling would be
sustained by the appellate division
Mr.. Jerome said it was in order to Sc
cure such ruling before indicting any
of the insurance officials and attach
ing to them an indelible stain that he
took the case against George w. Per-
liins direct to the court instead of
before the grand jury in March. IF
Justice Greenbaum's ruling be sus-
tained," the district attorney said, 1T
will be necessary to call as witnesses
Cornelius n. Bliss, treasurer of the
Republican national committee, and
George b. Cortelyou, it's chairman and
postmaster general, and indict a large
portion of the officers of every finan-
cial institution in this city"
Commenting upon the presentment,
Recorder Golf said the jury had acted
within it's authority and it was the
duty of the district attorney to have
submitted the evidence. Said the re-
corder: 1T would not be the truth for
me to say that you performed your
whole duty. Nevertheless you have
rendered signal service in accentu-
ating the unequiyocal responsibility
which now rests upon the district at
torney. l appreciate fully the diff
Guilty which would besel an investiga-
tion of this character by the grand
jury unless you were aided earnestly
by the cooperation of the district at
torney your legal adviser, whose duty
it is to prefer evidence formulated
and presented to the grand jury.
Whenever a public duty plainly de-
wolves upon. an official or an authority
the way to perform that duty is to do
it, and not delegate the performance
to somebody else"

GENERAL RISING
II Russian Parliament Fails to Satisfy
Present Demands.

ST. Petersburg, May 1.-Nazarenko,
the peasant who has been elected to
the lower house of parliament for the
province of Kharkoff, has arrived
here. He declared THAT the peasants
all over the country are awaiting the
solution of the agrarian problem with
the greatest interest. If parliament
should adjourn without satisfying
their demand he predicts a general
revolution among the peasants. Naza-
renko further says that the peasants
must own themselves the land they
till, and that they are willing to pay
for it. and he believes that it would
be a serious mistake to abolish the
system of the communal holdings to
which the peasants are accustomed.

Negroes Score Roosevelt.

NEW York, Nov. 19-At the special
sessions of the Afro American Ministerial
Association, the Colored Baptist Preachers
Meeting and the Clerical Union of Long
Island, which were held this morning at
their respective gathering places to take
action as to President Roosevelt's order
dismissing and dishonorably discharging the
three companies Of negro soldiers Of the
Twenty fifth Infantry, addresses were de-
livered by negro clergymen, who were caus-
tic in their arraignment of the President.
Resolutions were adopted demanding
that the President, in justice to the negro
soldiers, revoke his order. Committees
were appointed to visit Washington and pre-
sent to Secretary Taft the resolutions
adopted and to urge him to see that justice
is done.
The resolutions adopted by the Baptists
declare that from all evidence the Presi-
dents action was taken hastily and tthe
whole battalion was dismissed for not peach
ing on their comrades when it is not known
and has not been clear that they knew any
thing of it,
The Interdenominational Colored Preach
ers decided to call mass-meeting at an early
date at Cooper Union to protest against the

conditionally to the Enoch Pratt Free Lii
brary to establish 20 branch libraries.
The city must guarantee 10 per cent.
of the cost of the building for the purchase
of books and for maintenance, and must
also provide the sites.
The gift was made through Gen. James
A. Gary, president of the trustees of the
library and friend of Mr.. Carnegie.
Mayor Timanus telegraphedto Mr.. Car
negie his thanks in the city's behalf.
The Mayor and President Mahool, of the
First Branch of the City Council, expressed
their confidence that the City Council
would gladly acceds to the terms of the
gift.
Mr.. Carnegie has made an exception to
his invariable rule, and asks that the branch
libraries all bear the name Of Bnoch Pratt,
who was his warm personal friend.
A gift from the same source was made
to the city for the Maryland Institute about
a year ago, amounting to more than $780,
900.
The benefaction to the city of the late
Enoch Pratt first suggested to Mr.. Carne-
gle the giving to municipalities of free
public libraries.

Tree Of Death.

The Koreans are greatly excited over
the appearance of bamboo tree through
the cracks of the floor of the room last oc
cupied by the late General MINI Young
Whan, says the Korea News. Since the
suicide of the general in November last
the room has been kept closed, and when
the room was opened few days ago the
bamboo had already attained the height of
more than four feet. The Koreans find a
parallel to this phenomenon in an event
that occurred in Songdo 500 years ago
when patriot defending the emperor was
done to death on stone bridge just out
side the city. Several months after his
death bamboo sprouted up between the
stone on the very spot where the patriot
had breatbed his last.

Hid Negro In A Coffin.

The lynching of negro fend who as
saulted Miss Ethel McLane, pretty young
telephone girl, while she was on her way
home from work at Mayfeld, KY, was
prevented only by the police getting the
negro out of town in coffin.
When found unconscious, Miss McLane
had in her hand the negro's collar, which
she had torn from his neck. 1t bore the
name of Allen Mathis, and when Miss
McLane had been taken home the whole
town turned out after negro bearing the
name. He was arrested near the Jail.
His collar was gone, his face badly scratch
ed, and one eye was gouged almost out.
He confessed.
While the telephone in the Jail was con-
stantly ringing to know if any trace of him
had been found the Jail officers placed the
negro in a coffin intended for white pris-
oner who had died during the morning and
hustled him off to the depot and landed
him safely in the Jail at Paducah.
