AFTER JERoME's SCALP.
Metropolitan Street Railway Wants
District Attorney Removed.

New York.-Twenty-tw specific
charges are made In a petition pray
ing for the removal of William T. Je-
rome as district attorney of the coun-
ty OF New York. which was sent to
Governor Hughes at Albany Thursday
by committee OF stockholders OF the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
through their chairman. William f.
King. The petition alleged that Je-
rome failed to properly prosecute
charges of alleged Jury fixing" and
the giving of false testimony in street
railway cases; that the prosecution
OF violations of the criminal law by
the life insurance companies OF New
York, as disclosed by the Armstrong
committee. had been delayed that an
alleged criminal conspiracy to divert
the property of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company of New York
into the hands OF few men was al
lowed by Mr.. Jerome to go on and
hundreds OF stockholders robbed OF
their money and that no attempt was
made to punish men alleged to have
committed other frauds in connection
with New York City Traction deals.

FLEET LEAVES CALLAO
FOR MAGDAENA BAY
Start on Longest Lap of Long Voyage
Being Due at Next Stepping
Place on March IA.

Callao.-The feet of American
battleships left the harbor on Satur'
day. The next stopping place is Mag
dalena bay, where, according to the
schedule, the vessels will arrive on
March a. The distance from Cailao
to Magdalena bay is 5,012 nautical
miles. The dates for the departure
from Magdalena bay and the arrival
at San Francisco have not been
definitely determined, as those depend
upon the completion of target practice
at Magdalena bay, which will probably
occupy thirty days.
This is the longest lap OF the long
voyage, and unless news of the pass
age of the warships is brought ashore
by some passing steamer, the vessels
probably will not be heard from again
until they approach Magdalena bay
The feet left Hampton Roads Decem-
Der Is and made its first stop in
South America at Trinidad, December
20. Five days sailing from Callao
will bring Panama abeam and the
vessels will then be practically clear
of South America Counting the long
stops made at Trinidad, Rio, Punta
Arenas and Callao, they have made
the circuit of South America in ap-
proximately seventy-three days.

Washington.-Ope officials OF
railroads from all parts OF the coun-
try on Thursday were in attendance
upon the hearing given by the inter
state commerce commission upon APP
plication for an extension of time OF
going into effect OF the nine-hour law.
Thirty-sevep applications were re-
ceived by the commission asking for
the extension. Two of them already
have been denied, those Of the Geor-
gia Southern & Florida railway and
the st. Joseph Il Grand Island rail
way. because, in the opinion of the
commission, the petitions did not
show what, In the terms of the act,
would constitute good causes" for
granting the relief requested. The
applications of the other thirty-five
lines are being heard as one case,
because the petitions are substantial
ly identical. All OF them assert that
they have found it impossible to pro-
cure the services of competent, eff
ficient and dependable telegraph oper-
ators in such numbers as will en-
able them to comply with the provis.
ions of the law; and that. even II they
could obtain the necessary operators.
the enforced employment of so many
additional men would be a financial
hardship which the carriers ought not
to be subjected to.
