LIMA, Peru. Feb. 27.-Today Lima is re-
GREETING the stay OF the American fleet is
drawing to a close and the visiting sailors
and officers are sorry that in two short
days shore leave and entertainment will
give place to the routine duties OF the
fleet at sea, The entertainments have been
constant, brilliant and successful: the
sailors have enjoyed their excursions and
shopping expeditions and they have main
tained the reputation that the man afloat
has for spending his money when he is
ashore. The shopkeepers, fruit vendors
and curio dealers have reaped a rich har-
vest. Thousands OF men had liberty, but
there has been no unpleasant incident or
clash with the people of either Callao or
Lima.
There was an informal reception on
board the battleship Connecticut yesterday,
followed by a supper and dancing. which
lasted until midnight. Foreign Minister
Polo was among the guests. The warship
was fancifully decorated for the occasion.
The fleet is to leave here Saturday
morning. Several large steamers already
have been chartered to take out spectators
TO witness the departure.

uted Large sum TO Campaign
Fund Received by As
siatant.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-Twenty-two spe-
cific charges are made in a petition praying
for the removal of william T. Jerome as
district attorney OF the county OF New
York which was sent to Governor Hughes
at Albany today by a committee Of stock
holders OF the Metropolitan Street Railway
company. through their chairman. William
F. King
The petition alleges that Jerome failed
properly to prosecute charges of alleged
jury fixing and the giving of false testi-
mony 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 al
legged criminal conspiracy to divert the
property of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way of New York into the hands of few
men was allowed by Mr.. Jerome to go
and hundreds of stockholders robbed of
their money and that no attempt was
made to punish men alleged TO have com
mitted other frauds in connection with New
York city traction deals
Mr.. Jeromes statements as the judges
are alleged to have been not only i'm
proper but scandalous In their nature and
to have tended to destroy the confidence
va tho pSOpto III the Integrity VI lHelE
courts.
The committee also charges that the dis
trict attorney misconducted himself in fail
ing to indict and seek to convict some one
of the officials OF the New York Central
Railroad company in connection with the
collision in that company's tunnel in 1907
when seventeen persons were killed.
Campaign Money from Hyde.
Various other cases of alleged failure of
the district attorney to perform his duty
are cited in the complaint. The petition
also charges that contributions to the cam
paigne fund to elect Mr.. Jerome were
received by one of Mr. Jerome's assist
ants from men connected with large cor
porations seeking favors from the district
attorney, and that the sum, the amount
of which is unknown. was considerably
upwards of $4,000.
Among these contributors It is alleged,
was the attorney for James H. Hyde, who
contributed $1,000. 1t is also alleged that
the assistant who received these funds
and who has since resigned and entered
law practice has undue influence with the
district attorney.
I'm not worried" was District Attorney
Jerome's comment when told of the
charges and request for his removal sent
to Governor Hughes today. This is another
one, 1 suppose. They file them up there
every week or so against me by reports.
The governor has never asked me to ex-
plain. II he does, then we will take cog
nizance Of them"

severe pains in the small of my back,
which we're worse when STOPPING or

were SO severe during the night that

and at times was troubled with dizzy
spells which caused blurring of the eye

brought to my attention l started u.s.
