JEROME HINTS At
OTHER ARRESTS
District Attorney of New York
Makes Statement That lndl-
Gates Further Action.
INSPECTION OF MINUTES
WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
Declares That Evidence Before
Grand Jury Refers to Persons
Not Yet Apprehended.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-More ar
rests NAV he made in connection with
the investigation Of the affairs of the
New York Life Insurance company, &C
cording to an announcement made to-
day by District Attorney Jerome. The
announcement was made while the
District Attorney was opposing an sp-
peal of counsel for G. ". Perkins. IN
der indictment in the New York Life
case. for an inspection of the entire
minutes of the December grand jury.
Mr.. Jerome said that it would he in
defiance of his policy to grant such
request, as there are persons mentioned
in the evidence who have not vet been
arrested, but who may be at some fu-
ture time. No decision was reached
today. the court directing counsel for
both sides to submit briefs IN duplca-
tiou of the verbal arguments
Lewis l.. Delafeld, speaking for Mr.,
Perkins, said terrible mistake had
been made in that the grand Jury had
isapprehended the evidence. The at
torney declared that there was no evl-
dence that a crime had been commit
ted. He said that the facts generally
cause the court to probe into the suti-
cheney of the evidence on which the
indictments were found. Mr.. Delafeld
said that his client had not been sub
poenaed and that he had been warned
Of his Constitutional rights.
Mr.. Jerome answered that mere
trial was not sufficient TO gain the IN.
spection Of the minutes of the grand
Jury. Mr. Jerome said he would con-
sent to Mr. Perkins examining tran
script of his own testimony, but that
the other proceedings before the jury
must remain secret 81 may say to
your Honor the District Attorney
continued. "that the evidence given be-
fore the grand Jury refers to number
of persous who have not been arrested
as vet, but who may be subsequently
arrested Public policy demands that
this evidence should not be spread
abroad I heard all the evidence IN
this case and I concurred in the truth
of the preseptment. but not In its WIS,
dom. The motives of the men indicted
were undoubtedly, to my way of think
ing, altruistic. but there is vast dlt.
ference between motive and intent.

RED TAPE MAKES
DRUGGISTS CHARY
Denatured Alcohol Cannot Be
Purchased in Salt Lake
as Yet.

That the druggists are plum scared
by the new revenue laws and don't wish
70 take chances Of being tripped up. Is
shown By the fact that since the first
of January bur very few dispensers OF
drugs have fled application with the rev
enue department for licenses To sell de-
naturalized alcohol. The collector of In
ternal revenue thinks that this is proha-
bly, due to a misunderstanding OF the
laws and that II these were cleared up
there would be more applications.
4 druggist who sells liquors or wines
may sell the clocJored alcohol. providing
he does not dispense liquor OF any kind
as a beverage. He may sell liquors for
medicine and We, handle this alcohol
This is a ruling Just made for the de-
partment and probably were this under
stood by these druggists who do not
run n silent bar in connection with
the prescription counter, there would
have been some applications filed before
this. AS it is. there is no place in all
Salt Lake where one may buy denatured
alcohol.
The local office has received several
applications from merchants to handle
the stuff in wholesale way but as
yet no licenses have been granted This
is due to the fact that the local revenue
office is at present very busy with rou-

AS TO |NTREST
on PUBLIC FUNDS
If Legislature Acts i'm Matter
Why Not Include State and
County?
MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD
NOT BE SINGLED OUT
If Interest Be Paid Upon City
Money, Why Not on State
and County.

In a talk had With a prominent Utahn
Thursday by Tribune represen tative
regarding proposed depository bills which
arc likely 10 come up before the coming
Legislature he said:
While so much is being said about
measures to be introduced Into the
Legislature which Will provide for the
payment by banks Of interest upon
funds belonging 10 municipalities: while
the chairman OF the church Republican
State committee, who is likewise chair
man of the State Board OF Equalization
is seeking information from the several
States upon the same subject, a deposi-
tory law for municipal funds. one I'M
portant fact has been overlooked that Is.
the payment Of interest upon State end
county funds also
"The reason is easily found Salt
Lake city s under American rule: Utah
and Salt Lake county are under the dom
ination Of the hierarchy therefore banks
holding city funds should pay interest TO
the city but banks holding State or coun-
~ funds should nay no interest to the
OF the city, fowl OF the State and county.
1T is alleged by the Smootite organs
that II interest was paid upon the city
several thousand dollars annually In
one way this would he true. In another,
no. For illustration. the bank in which
the city deposits It's funds might have
S400, 900 upon which IL would pay 2 per
cent or $4,000 per annum. at the same
time il would be carrying S125.000 worth
or warrants without Interest, but upon
which IT would charge per cent. the
minimum rate charged here, or $500 per
annum. Hence the difference would be
only nominal. The Smootites overlook
this.
Take the matter OF State funds The
report OF the state Treasurer for the
fiscal year ending November 30 last
showed balances on hand In the several
funds amounting to s5o4,l72.s9. This was
on deposit In the banks in Salt Lake
Should these repositories pay 2 per cent
the State would be richer by S1l $50 per
annum, and there is no Offset against
this by warrants carried, because during
the last year the State borrowed money
in anticipation Of taxes and paid interest
upon the temporary loan, hence the State
is out not only the $1,000. but also the
interest paid upon the loan.
Take the State Land Board. That
board has had as high as S75o,o00 on
hand upon which the State received no
interest. q loss OF $4,000 per annum,
based upon a 2 Per cent rate, The State
therefore. should he richer. If interest
was paid upon the funds mentioned
by practically $4,000 per annum. or
within s950O OF the annual interest upon
bonded debt.
''If depository bills are introduced and
passed by the coming legislature. II the
taxpayers are to be benefited by inter
est upon public funds. why not include
the State and counties, as we'll as NUM-
CIpaitieS?"
