District Attorney Jerome was on the stand in the
| Westchester County Court at White Plains yester-
day in the prosecution Of indictment obtained
by him against Frank f. Xavier editor of The
Yonkers Herald" HIr. jerome obtained the indict-
ment because of an article published in the paper
which stated that he had agreed with J p Nor
gan and George w Perkins not to indict certain
insurance men in consideration Of Jerome being
nominated for Governor and that he had tricked
and betrayed the people"
The trial adjourned until Monday. with Mr..
Jerome stu the stand. When the trial re-
sumed counsel for Mr.. Xavier will put Howard 8.
Cans. the late Assistant District Attorney on the
stand and ask him about the contributions 10 Mr..
Jeromes campaign. Mr.. Cans treasurer Of this
fund, but in Europe when Clarence }. Shearn
wanted 10 examine him IN The Evening Journal
suit.
John H Brennan. OF Yonkers Thomas r Curran
and Clinton T. Taylor appeared counsel for Mr..
Xavier. District Attorney Young and his assistant.
William A. Moore looked after the prosecution.
, When asked by District Attorney Young if the
article published true Mr. Jerome answered.
1T is wholly false. directly and Indirectly re-
mctely otherwise
This practically the only question that Mr.
Young asked and then Mr.. Brennan took up the
cross-examination He went deeply into the in
sUrance investigation. He asked If there had not
been considerable discussion in the public press as
to the manner of the District Attorneys conduct
TOW ard the insurance companies following the in
vesiigation by the Armstrong committee.
Were not some Of the articles in the press ex-
ceedinsly acrimonious" ne asked.
Extremely So" Mr.. Jerome answered.
Full of censure?"
Most censorious."
What the censure directed to?" asked Mr.
Brennan
ITO my failure 70 prosecute anybody mentioned
befote the Armstrong committee"
Was not demand made you by lawyers
that Mr. Perkins be indicted?'
no. sir"
What the charge made against George
Perkins by the press?"
Forgery and larceny"
Was there a charge made against Mr.. Perkins
because of $4,000 political contribution"
Yes"
IT that he had paid out on the suggestion
Of Mr.. Mccall and subsequent to election and that
he had been reimbursed from funds Of the insur-
company
THAT is practically correct"
There nothing In the books Of the conpanv
show the reason OF this payment"
books" Mr.. Jerome said.
Was the evidence ever presented by you to the
grand jury?'
No
Mr.. Jerome said that no specific charge had ever
been made against Mr.. Perkins and no evidence
was submitted 10 the grand jury about any polit-
icai contribution. He said that practically everv
financial institution in New York City had contrib
uted 10 one political party the other Mr. Bren-
nan tried TO justify the article published bv his
client by showing that this matter had been kent
from the grand jury by Mr.. Jerome.

THIRD NATIONAL PARTY
Continued from first page.

The other one may be ex-secretary of State
John T. McDonough Henry A Powell. of Kings
or w II. Caddebock. Of Erie
II was said last night that q small delegation
of Tarmany men had called on Mr. Hearst at
his home in Lexington avenue yesterday, and
submitted a proposition that If he would indorse
certain local Tammany candidates they would
see to it that Mr.. Hearst's state ticket candi-
dates were indorsed by the Democratic State
Committee.
1t is said Mr.. Hearst pointed TO the door and
told them to get out of the house. The story
could not be verified. but it was learned that Mr..
Hearst has cut loose forever from Charles f.
Murphy and is awaiting opportunity to fight
him. He realizes that so long as Murphy is at
the head of the machine he cannot work with
the regular Democracy without such Co-opera-
ton being a detrment to him throughout the
state and nation.
There is a faction in the ranks of the local
Independence League which to-day will try TO
impress upon Mr. Hearst the futilty OF trying
to elect a ticket in New York County unless he
fuses with of the old parties Last night
at the GiIsey House IL was said that this faction
would suggest to Mr. Hearst the propriety of
nominating Justice NJ. Linn Bruce for the Su-
preme Court and take a chance on getting the
Republicans to indorse the Independence League
candidate for Sheriff
The Hearst people feel the need of patronage.
and If they could get the Sheriffs office they
would be willing to indorse Republican judge
with a good record, like that made by Justice
Bruce, just they were willing year ago 10
indorse Otto Rosalsky for General Sessions.
The state committee of the Independence
League will hold a brief meeting this morning
at 10 O'Clock at the Gilsey House. The state
convention will be called together at = o'clock
William r. Hearst will preside. and Attorney
organization, the convention will adjourn till
o'clock One of the features of the evening will
be a parade of district organizations of the In
dependence League from Madison Square to
Carnegie Hall.

JOY IN STRIKE RANKS.
Great Satisfaction Expressed at Dir
ROOserelfs announcement.

The news that President Roosevelt willing
to receive the documents relating to the strike OF
the telegraphers announced yesterday to the
strikers by their officers. and received with ap-
plause Daniel l.. Russell, chairman of the strikers
board of strategy, said that the action of Pres-
dent Roosevelt averted public calamity The
documents. he said. would be sent from New York
in few days.
The representatives OF the companies did not
care to discuss President Roosevelt's action. East
ern Vice President Brooks of the Western Union
said no word had been received from Labor Com
missioner Neili President Roosevelt. and he did
not look for any communication. If the brokers'
operators struck he said II would not affect the
company, the wires were leased by the year
and the lessees of wires by the agreement
required to give thirty days notice If they wished
10 discontinue the lease. He had reason to believe.
he said, however. that the brokers' operators would
strike.
Thomas NJ. Pierson. Eastern vice president of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers. said that the rail-
road teegraphers would under circumstances
go on a sympathetic strike THEY would keep
their contracts with the railroads and the order
he said had also an agreement with the CONNER
cial telegraphers by which there 10 be no
sympathetic strike.

North River to Morton street and the subway
connection Herewith up Sixth avenue to 500
street was under the jurisdiction ot the COM
mission. He holds that Section AZ of the PUP
lie Service Commissions act alone is sufficient
TO give the commission jurisdiction. but IN aoui-
tion there is a contract between the city and the
company which specifically provides for official
supervision. which power would now rest with
the Public Service Commission. The opinion

by S. Marks. OF No 419 Sixth asenue. was or

tions which agitating for the identification

had no power to make such an order: it could
only recommend such action. The writer cited

change
After some discussion the letter was placed
on file The chairman remarked that the matter
had come up in the general investigation of the

WON'T FUSE WITH HEARST MEN
No Prospect of Such Action on Court of Ap-
peals Candidates, Says Conners.

William j. Conners. chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. issued a cali last night for a
meeting of the committee next Monday afternoon
at o'clock in the Hotel Victoria, nominate two
candidates for judges of the Court of Appeals.
The action of the state convention of the Inde-
pendence League to-day doubtless VIII have some
weight in shaping the action of the Democratic
State Committee. Mr.. Conners said last night that
he did not believe there was the slightest prospect
of fusion between the Independence League and the
regular Democracy on the Court of Appeals judges.
He would not comment the proba BILE decision of
the state committee with reference to the candi-
dates. The impression is steadily growing that the
state committee on Monday will be forced to nomi-
nate the two Bartletts.
New-York tribune., 1907-09-28

by the Republican State Convention was this
declaration:
We favor the enactment Of federal law and'
IL necessary amendment to the federal Con-
stitution which will forbid the federal courts
from issuing wrts of injunction against state
officers charged by law with the enforcement OF
state statutes.
It is understood in political circles here that
Mr.. Bryan will devote his efforts from now on
to pushing his new propaganda. In every state
and Congress convention held by Democrats his
supporters will endeavor to bring the states
rights issue TO the fore and TO have that par
ticular plank written along the lines of the Ne
braska utterance. These Efforts will be chiefly
in the North, it is said. because the support OF
the solid South Is regarded foregone con-
clusion. Upon the success OF these efforts may
depend the decision OF Mr.. Bryan as TO whether
he will again be a Presidential candidate.
