HARRY THAW VIEWS
IN GAMBLING ON co
 SPORTS.
COMMON
Thaw Approves of Jercme's vindica- tion, But Condemns Commits missioner Hand on some of
 His Views on Gambling.

Poughkeepsie. N. r., Aug. 27.--Harry K. Thaw made tue following state inent today. after reading the opinion of Commissioner Hand in the proceed ings for the removal of District At torney Jerome. who Is opposing Thaw's
 T agree with Mir. Hands decision in favor of MT. Jerome. and think that on the whole. public sentiment will support it.
 ..In his decision. Mir. Hand expresses certain opinions which seem to me mistaken. but stwo remarks that ap- pear regrettabie do not affect the Dis trict Attorney. MT. Hand might con- done throwing dice for money. but his comment that to rebuke that deed is to indfct very large portion of the community, including all who take part in common games of billiards, bridge whist, golf. baseball and every other popular recreation known to the peo- pie of every civilized land. will surely shock the best part of the commu- nfty.
 T have many friends who play billiards and I know that they do not bet upon the game. that they indulge in it purely as recreation with no thought Of gambling. Bridge whist is. never played in public for money. If my own. experience over many links counts TOT 3uJNuiuSs HUI ouc HaAh sn e hundred plays golf for money. l have attended more than hundred baseball games and found that my own and my neighbors interest came from the playing of the game itself. Were it. otherwise, professional base ball would become a farce. MT Hand cannot be familiar with the spirit of amateur baseball.
 That field sports. tennis. etc, are indulged in as a pleasant and whole some exercise is, I trust. beyond doubt. Were its~ otherwise, the votaries of racing would have an unswervabIe ar- gument in favor of their diversion. The .effect of Mir. Hands statement, coming from such an authority. can not be otherwise than injurio6s.
 | "Another remark hope will not meet with general approval; His affirma- | tion that T cannot Imagine. any seri- | ous differences of opinion upon the proposition that there were Justices of the Supreme Court in the First | District who were not entitled to the respect of any weli-informed lawyer I has a disagreeabie sound to me. Ii Mir. Hand believes this and has proof | it is his duty to bring charges against | the Justices thus accused. If not this
 discrimination should have been omit. l ted" a,s '

Title of Real Estate. Code of Professional Eth ics Proposed Copyright Bill and Pro- posed Lawyers, Home
 In presenting its code of ethics for the lawyers of the American bar, the committee told the convention in clear and forceful language that ft is the duty of the lawyers to prevent Htiga- tion; to make peace between those in- clined to litigation and to diligently
 discourage among the iaiety the preva- lent growth of disrespect for the courts. ~
 At the same time. the report con- tinues, where there Is proper ground flor serious complaint of a judicial or
 ficer, it is incumbent upon the lawyer to submit his grievances to the prop
 CT authorities.
 s Under the new code. 1t is made the
 duty of lawyers to prevent political
 considerations outweighing judicial
 fitness in the selection of judges and
 aspirants for Judicial honor are d. rected to be governed by an impartial estimate of their ability. The prac- tice of arguing privately with a judge as to the merits of pending case il made cause for judicial rebuke. A lawyer must not acquire an Inter est by purchase or otherwise in the subject matter of litigation he Is con ducting. and he shall at all timei consider his professional branch ot the administrations of justice and fs | his fees accordingly, not over-estimat' | them or undervaIue them Suit | against clients for fees are permissibl' | orily to prevent deliberate frauds.
