BULLET IN STOMACH
Man Found Near Chase Park and Taken to Hospital-In
 Serious Condition.

Adolph Baron, age 22, of 275 Bank street, lies at the. hospital in a serious condition because of a bullet embedded in his stomach. It is thought that the man shot himself. It was about 1:45 this afternoon that he was found on North Riverside street. near the entrance to Chase park. The man was lying in the gutter. Fhe report of his revolver brought the caretaker of the park, John Reilly, to tke scene of the shooting, and Emil Widen, coachman for William Richardson, arrived there about the same time, as he happened to be driving along that way. When found Baron was un- able to talk so he was hustled into Widen's carriage and carried to the hospital. The revolver used was found by the mans side. In addi- tion to the bullet used there was one other in the gun, which is of 32 cali Der. It is an old weapon and evil
 
 Reilly says that he was up fn the park when he heard the report of the gun, and thinking some one in the vicinity was shooting squirrels, he hurried in the direction whence the report came. Baron was lying in the gutter, he declared, but was unable to speak. ''I asked him if he had shot himself and he replied by shaking his head in an aftlrma- tive manner. This man (pointing to Widen reached there almost as quickly as I did Neither of us could get him to speak, because I think he is an Italian. The pistol was by his side and he seemed to be in great pain. All the way to the hospital he moaned in pitiful man. ner."
 At the hospital it was stated that little could be learned, although 1t was learned that his name was that as given above. At press hour he was reported in a critical condition.
 The police were notified by Reilly and Widen, who drove to the station directly after coming from the hos pital. As Medical Examiner Crane had already been sent to tie spot where Baron was found, the chief did not think there was much need of sending an officer there, as it was apparent that the man had shot him. self. Still Detective Colesanto was sent to the hospital to. get state- ment from the man. Baron was very we'll dressed.

ACTION AGAINST JEROME.

M ORE trouble confronts District Attorney
4 William Travers Jerome, Of New York
city. Weary of his methods of conducting the
affairs of his high office petition has been for
warded to Governor Hughes by prominent busi-
ness men of New York asking that the prosecu-
ton Of the officers and directors of the traction
company, of that city, be removed from the hands
of Jerome. The petitioners pray that the COVER
nor take such action as will "restore public con-
hdence in the administration OF the criminal in
this New York; county" The charge against
Jerome is that the people of the city have no con
fdence that Jerome will prosecute properly or
punish rich and powerful offenders against the
law in New York city
This petition is the elimination Of the growing
lack of confidence in Jerome and his methods.
His failure TO perform his duties to the satsiac-
ton Of his supporters has been one Of the most
deplorable incidents in New York politics. Those
New York papers that so heartily supported
Jerome now not only do not apologize for him,
but they express their regret to their readers for
The support given Jerome in the past. During
his campaign Jerome shot up like rocket. He
was an expert windjammer, and those people
who take honied words and gable at its face
value were enamored of Jerome They flung
their dollars, and some of them hard-earned dol
lars, into the capacious campaign pocket Of the
district attorney, and looked upon him as hero
that was to lead New York TO better things.

SIGNS on pEPEw REVIVAL.

IT HERE are threats OF revival of Depewism
n 1t seems to be coming. A few years ago
no one could read a New York paper without
daily seeing Depew section. Depew's thoughts
on religion, art, politics. colds growing chickens,
were daily heralded, as though he were some wise
angel suddenly descended from heaven to earth.
There was no limit to the mouthings Of Depew.
Even college faculties bowed to Depew Scarcely
week passed that advanced copies OF the adj
dresses that Mr.. Depew was TO deliver before
this that institution did not find their way into
the newspaper Offices Then came the change
The Insurance scandals, the yellow dog funds and
various other matters cast cloud upon Depew
He was revealed in his true light Demands were
heard that he and his boss Platt should resign
from the Senate. But Depew, prince OF lobbyists.
or, as Henry George would say, the court Jester
OF monopoly was not TO be ousted from a good
thing He went into retirement Lately he has
come out. The interviews with him at first were
given little space. Gradually the space has been
enlarged. Depew is getting back to his old form.
His revival is interesting. Evidently he thinks
the people have short memories-and most Of
them have.

PERIL IN SMOKING CARS.

X EPORTS OF the railroad wreck in Iowa, in
~ which twelve persons lost their lives, state
that the victims were occupants Of the smoking
car. This smoking car death trap was placed be-
tween the mail car, which was OF steel construc-
ton, and the strongly built Pullman car When
the accident happened the smoking car naturally
was crushed and the occupants thereof were
either killed or injured. And similar reports are
not infrequent Of other accidents on the rails Ii
the railroad companies arc TO be permitted TO
keep up their high rate of accidents and death
dealing wrecks they should be forced TO provide
for their passengers the reasonable safeguards OF
well-constructed cars, so that when the accidents
do occur the lives of the passengers will be as
safe bags Of letters.
Motives of self interest, one would think would
cause the companies to have their cars as strong
as possible so that the loss of life would be small
But the companies-that is some Of them--do
not take these precautions and, therefore, the law
should compel them to carry their passengers in
cars that are more stable than are mere aimsy
partitions.
In steamboat travel the government makes an
investigation of the accommodations and the
safety appliances to prevent accidents on the
water. The government protects its mail in the
steel cars, and the wealthier people have put up
with the Pullman Company graft in order to
safeguard their own lives. 1t is the fellow who
rides in the ordinary coach or the smoking car
that takes the greatest chances, and he will con
tinue to do so until the law surrounds railroad
travel with more elements Of safety
