DENIAL BY MR. JEROME.
Didn't Say He Couldn't Act on
Destr0yed Intcr.-Wet. Books.

District Attorney Jerome absolutely denied yes
terday that he had said that criminal proceed
ings would be begun by h.s office against the Of
tcials Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Company
because Of the destruction Of their books or that
action had been outawed because Of the statute OF
limitations"
The District Attorney vas much iTritated over the
report OF the alleged interview. i have not read
the testimony taken by the Public Service Com
mission he said. and l do know what il is.
But If any books records were destroyed there
would be things to be considered-trst. II 1t
had been done with criminal intent the law says
must be shown: and. again, if a crime was com
Initted. if it has been outlawed As do not know
about this have opinion. and have expressed
none
Mr. Jerome said that William N. WINS had not
called his attention formally 10 any of the tesU-
rnony before the commission during its inves-
tgation Of the Interboroug Metropolitan. but that
he presumed II there any ground for action.
either the commission itself or the commission
through its counsel would call his attention to it..
and that his further action would be guided en-
freJy by the nature Of the evidence.
IL IS understood that the Attorney General has
been looking into the case to see IL his office has
power 10 take il up and bring action against Of
fcials OF the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany. II Is also understood that the Attorney Gen
eral does not believe he can act unless he is re-
ouested TO do so by the Governor.
Mr.. WINS spent the day yesterday over the prepa-
ration Of his case against the merger. He devoted
his attention 10 stuGy OF the surface lines IN New
York City He said he had not informed Mr.. Je-
rome Of any parts OF the testimony except far
as what he aad said publicly of the hearings.
Mr. WINS did not say whether he intended specin-
cay calling the District Attorneys attention the
evidence
The commissioners, the officials counsel Of
the merger did not care to discuss the probable
action the corporation would take in regard TO the
order 70 turn over its books for the inspection Of
NsrvyE Scudder the expert accountant Of the com
mission.
There were continued ruEnors yesterday that the
1nterborough-A Metropolitan had decided that Il
would be wiser to obey the order, and would in
form the commission before Thursday that II could
examine lis books. This would be complete
TeTsai Of what was generally supposed TO be the
attitude Of the company.
Both the commission and Mr WINS now feel con-
ndent that with without the books OF the mer-
ger they can get all the information they want

Of failure. The screw is 311s inches
in diameter, which is placed at the

a speed of 100 kilometers, or more
than 62 miles an hour.
In the new boat the centrifugal dis

which means whirlwind, and the ap-

in the manner of waterspout.
According to experiments, the
typhonoid will produce the maximum

terminating in cylindrical tube.
Each blade is composed of two sheets
or surfaces. One sheet is spiral-cy-
lindrical, like loosely-rolled sheet of
paper, with it's inner edge at the axis
and it's outer portion forming part of
the enveloping tube. The other sheet
is smaller, inclined and helicoidal, like
the blade of an ordinary screw pro-
peller. 1t extends from the front
edge of the cylindrical sheet to

hind the front of the cylindrical sheet

The Child's Skin.

The chief popularity about the
treatment of skin disease in children
is that the reaction to the remedies
applied is more prompt than in adults,
saws a writer in the London Hospital
Moreover, since the risk of absorption
is by no means inconsiderable, oint-
ments and lotions containing power
full poisons, such as earbolic acid or
mercury, should not be employed, un-
less we'll diluted, over large surfaces
of the body.
Certain cutaneous LESSONS also are
transient, so that one is left with
their results, notably the scratch
mark and the scab. The history of
the mode of onset of an eruption, as
given by an intelligent mother or
nurse, is, therefore, of greater value
than the statement of the patient him.
self, who might even be unaware of
the existence of anything wrong with
his skin.

Protecting the Watercourses.

So extensive has the utilization of
streams for industrial purposes be-
come in France that the minister Of
agriculture has instituted commits
sion to study the best means of pro-
tecting them. 1t is stated that many
streams have been virtually destroy
ed for the sake of Industrial establish
ments, that certain small water
courses have disappeared entirely,
and that the effect in some places has
been to transform the physical fea-
lures of the country. The intention Is
not to prohibit the use Of the waters,
for modern industry demands more
and more of that, but to regulate IL so
that the streams may at the same
time be preserved for their beauty
and their usefulness.

LARGEST CAVE IN WEST.
Most Remarkable Cavern Discovered
In California Mountains.

Two gold-prospectors recently dis
covered in the Santa Susanna noun
tains, about so miles from Los An
geles, Cal, the largest and most re-
markable cave in western America.
While looking for indications of gold
they found an opening which they
entered. The opening led to a great
cavern, consisting Of many passages.
some of them wide, but most of them
narrow and lofty. The passages lead
into great halls, some containing
an acre, studded with stalagmites and
stalactites, in some cases so thickly
that II is difficult to get through. The
walls of one of these halls are covered
with rude drawings, some almost OBJ
liberated, but others still clear. The
drawings represent incidents of the
chase, showing Indians on foot pur-
suing bear, deer and other animals.
One wall-pai 1ting shows the bear pur-
suing the HI nter. The work is done
with q soft, red stone much used by
the INDIANS for that purposs.

A SOLDIERS TRIBUTE.
Old Soldier Erects Monument to Mem
ory of His Old Commander.

There was quiet yet impressive
ceremony not long ago at Arlington
cemetery, the resting place of the hon.
ored dead near Washington, ID. c.,
when the monument to the memory of
Maj. James Stewart, who commanded
the famous Battery B, Fourth United
States artillery, was dedicated.
The monument was erected by
Charles II. Mcconnell of Chicago, to
the memory of his old commander.
Maj. Stewart succeeded Gen. John
Gibbon as commander of Battery B.
when Gibbon was promoted to the
command Of the Iron brigade. 1t was
when 1t was under the superb train
ing of Gibbon that the brigade re-
ceived its historic name.
Maj. Stewart, born in Scotland, but
coming as a boy to America, enlisted
as private in the battery he after
ward commanded, October 29, 1851,
and he was rapidly promoted, enter
ing the civil war as second lieutenant
of his battery.
At the end of the war he was a
brevet major, having won the honor
for gallant and meritorious conduct
in the battle of Weldon railroad. He
remained in the regular service and
was retired as major April %, 1904.
His recent death was mourned by
all who ever came in contact with
this typical soldier and gentleman, and
especially by all who, either in the
volunteer or regular service, served
under him. One of his civil war COM
rades relates that at the latest Iron
brigade banquet Maj. Stewart, sitting
at table, was asked If he could keep
his front clear" His reply was as in
the old days when his battery was in
requisition, that he would do his very
best, And, as of old, 1t was done.
Gen. Edward S. Bragg, one time
commander of the Iron brigade, and
Gen. w. w. Dudley, also of the same
command during the war, were pres.
ent at the unveiling of the modest but
beautiful monument in Stewards
honor. 4
Jack" Cook, who was a bugler un
ucl OlcWdIl, duQ OlueTS vi Tic udyS vi
war, were there when the son of the
gallant soldier unveiled the memorial
stone Stewards widow and daughter
were present, with perhaps 100 distin.
guished men and women from the cap
ital and from other parts of the coun
try assembled to do honor to one who
was entitled to more than he ever
claimed or received in the way of pub
lie honors and awards.
The raising and dedication of this
monument has special significance, as
it is a tribute from one soldier to an
other writes Ada G. Sweet in Chicago
Journal. A mark of real and lasting
love and respect, such as could, per
haps, be originated in no country OF
the world other than our own, where
the citizen soldier is unique, both iE
what he accomplishes and in his re
gard and appreciation of his superior
officers, whether of the volunteer OF
the regular service.

! Made a Dash for Cover.

on me l decided to make run for the
breastworks which were located on
top of the opposite hill. There was
comparatively no growth on the hill
side, it having been cleared up, and
there was a full 200 yards to run in
plain view Of the Yankees. But l had
to go, and tying my shoes good and
tight, | made dash for cover. l had
progressed only few yards when the
entire force began shooting at me and
a veritable hail of bullets showered
around me until l jumped over the
breastworks of my own regiment How
| escaped being riddled has always
been a mystery to me. Just before
| reached safety my lieutenant en-
couraged me by telling me to run fast
er, but this was useless as l was doing
my very best. After an hours rest
and with new supply of ammunition
| slipped back to my post, where re-
mained until the fighting was again
renewed"
Mr.. Taylor states that the fighting
was almost constant from Chattanooga
to Atlanta and was perhaps the hard
est campaign of the entire war Dur
ing his service there was but one oc-
casion when he was not right up with
the flag, and at that time he was worn
out from the effects of long march
and was compelled to drop behind.
However, after a nights rest he re-
sumed his accustomed place at the
front. On one occasion he was on
scout duty and forestalled a movement
of the Federal army to flank the Con-
federates Upon another he relates
the misery of fear on the part of two
of his companions who had been con-
scripted. Speaking of this incident,
he said:
line next to me and we were in the
woods, Yankees and all, and about 300
yards from their line. The Yankees
were endeavoring to make it appear
that they were going to charge all
during the day, but they were in fact
moving to our rear, but we entertain
ed them from behind the logs and
trees and held them apparently at bay
The conscripts were behind trees and
my companion. one John Parker, and
/ would shoot at the enemy from be-
hind large log and the Yanks would
reply with volley, badly frightening
the conscripts, who begged piteously
for us not to fire again and who seem
ed overjoyed when the time came for
them to put little more distance be-
tween themselves and the Yankee bull
lets. They aroused my sympathy by
their cowardice."
While in a fierce battle one man be-
hind Mr.. Taylor and one on each side
of him were shot dead, yet he never
received scratch. He seemed to
bear a charmed life.

BORE A CHARMED LIFE.
Many Hair-Breadth. Escapes Of an
Old Ex.Confederate Soldier.

There resides here an old ex-Con-
feredate soldier who can perhaps
boast of having seen more genuine
service, escaping without scratch,
than any other devotee of the lost
cause" In the state, writes Nash
vile, Tenn, correspondent of the In
ter Ocean. This is S. p. Taylor, who
is yet hale and hearty and bids fair
to pass many more milestones on
life's highway. When in a talkative
mood there is nothing he enjoys bet
ter than relating some of his hair
breadth escapes while doing service
for his country, and he is certainly
an interesting character.
At the battle of New Hope church
Mr.. Taylor was assigned to picket
duty, and it was then that he had his
closest call. In speaking of the incl
dent he said:
81 went on picket duty in the mar
row ravine just before daylight. The
enemy was encamped on top Of hill
opposite our breast works and my po-
sition was exactly between the two
armies. About O'Clock picket was
sent out from the Yankee army and he
sat down on log in plain view of me
only short distance away. l had
full cartridge box (forty rounds) and
began to shoot at him, but being un-
able to see me he did not return the
fire. He soon fell off the log on my
side and his comrades made an at
tempt to rescue him, and my attempts
to keep them away divulged my place
of concealment. The Yankees began
shooting at me, and by noon l had
counted eighteen bullets that struck
the little oak tree behind which /
was concealed. With an empty cart
ridge box and my gun in a similar
condition and the Yanks cross-firing
