WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-A gem
eral discussion among the members
Of the senate committee on naval
affairs today indicated that the inves-
tigation Of the charges Of defects in
battleship construction win be ex-
tended to q number OF other ques-
sions that have attracted public at
tention. Among these questions will
be whether the staff officers such as
naval surgeons shall be given the
command Of hospital ships or other
naval vessels.
This will undoubtedly result in the
re-opcning Of the Brownson-Rixcy
controversy which was disposed Of by
the President supporting Rixey in his
contention that surgeon be given
the command of the hospital ship
Relief.
Admiral Mason today explained to
the committee the working Of the
turret ammunition hoists. His testi-
mony was given with reference to
answering more Of Reuterdahl's criti-
cisms. Mason denied that straight
hoists were dangerous as charged by
Reuterdahl. Mason supported his
arguments by comparisons with the
ships OF other navies.
Mason stated that the interrupted
hoist Of new turret is not as safe as
a direct hoist and that il was put in
because OF the insistent demand OF
the officers and seamen who believe
it will permit Of more rapid firing

CHICAGO. Feb. 27,-Malsters Of
Chicago frankly admit that the pro-
hibition wave already has caused
them great losses and they have
warned the board of trade interests

to find out who are our friends and
who are our enemies. No firm that
directly or indirectly assists the pro-
hibition party can consistently do
business with us, and we therefore
take the liberty to ask you how you
stand on the question"

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Twenty-
two specific charges are made in the
petition praying for the removal Of
District Attorney Jerome were sent
10 Governor Hughes today by a
committee OF the stockholders Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway, through
their chairman, William r. King The
petition charges Jerome with having
failed to properly prosecute the
charges OF the Alleged jury fixing"
in street railway cases; that he de-
layed the prosecutions in the life in
surancc cases; that he allowed com
spiracy to divert the property Of the
Metropolitan Street Railway into the
hands Of few men and was allowed
by Jerome to 60 on to the great loss
OF hundreds of stockholders; that
his statements as to judges have
been scandalous, and to have tended
TO destroy confidence in the integrity
OF their courts; that he misconducted
himself by failing to indict some Of
fetal Of the New York Central Rail
road in connection with collision Of
that company's tunnel when II were
killed and various other accusations.
Governor Hughes said tonight that
the charges against Jerome would
take their usual course William F.
King tonight gave out a statement
severely criticising Jerome.
He says he maintains that much Of
the blame for the present depressed
condition Of affairs is due to the
failure Of jerome to prosecute the
rich and influential grafters who have
robbed the people and disgraced the
name Of New York City. He main
tains the ice trusta insurance clique,
and the wrecking OF the Metropolitan
Traction Company.
Public exposure of these rich
criminals and failure to prosecute
them and others Of the same ilk, who
owned aud controlled many great
banks and trust companies. is the
primary cause Of the want of conf
dence that caused people to rush to
the banks to withdraw their deposits
and place the min safe deposit boxes,
and although the so-called panic is
practically over so far as banks are
concerned. want Of confidence is here
to stay and will stay until the people
see some of these wealthy criminals
punished, not fined, but put in Jail
