Albany, March 9.--District Attor-
ney Jerome, of New York, filed yes
terday with Governor Hghes his an
swcr to the charges preferred against
him by William e. King, former
president of the New York Mer-
chants association, and committee
of minority stockholders of the Met
ropolitan Street Railway company,
in which the governor is asked to re-
move Jerome from office. The an
swer Is a general denial of the
charges. The governor said he
would announce the procedure to be
followed, after he had examined the
document.
The district attorneys answer de-
clares that the charges against him
were based on assumptions which
are purely gratuitous; that in each
instance Of alleged failure to prose-
cute, the matter did not, as a matter
of law, constitute a crime, or II a
crime had been committed, it was by
reason of some defect of evidence,
Sucn as the lack OF cOffODOrallon,
where the law forbids prosecution
unless there was corroboration, inn
possibility to sustain prosecution,
and that the law and the obligations
of his oath of office alike forbade him
to institute prosecutions in the alb
snece of evidence to justify them.
With reference 10 the charge which
relates 10 Mr.. Jerome's campaign
fund, which was in charge of Howard
S. Cans, who WAS one OF his assist
ants Mr.. Jerome states that save
and except in few instances" he was
not Informed and did not know from
whom the contributions to the ex-
penses of his campaign were made.
The answer sets forth also that the
largest contributor to the fund, so
far as Mr.. Jerome knows, was Sam
uel Untermyer, who has been for a
long time a personal friend OF the
district attorney. Mr. Untermyer's
contribution was $4,000.

JEROME REPLIES TO THE /
CHARGES AGAINST HIM
Declares That with Few Exceptions He Does not Know
EWho Donated to His Campaign Fund-Says Prosecu-
ton was Delayed Because Evidence Iucom-
plee.

The charges against Mr.. jerome
alleged that this contribution was
improper, on the grounds that Mr..
Untermyer was an attorney for
James II. Hyde, formerly vice presi-
dent of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society. To this the reply IS
made that Mr.. Untermyer at that
Ume did not represent Mr. Hyde as
criminal attorney, and that neither
before nor since that time has any
evidence been produced TO indicate
that Mr.. Hyde had been guilty Of
any criminal act.
With reference to the charge against
the district attorney to the effect that
be had failed to bring prosecution
for any alleged criminal conspiracy
for the flotation OF illegal, worth
less and fictitious securities of the
United states Shipbuldng company
IN 1902, Mr.. Jerome replies
''That while 1t was probable
crime had been committed and that
certain persons connected with the
enterprise had been guilty of procur-
ing money by false representations,
the legal evidence to prove the falsty
of the representations could be Sc
cured only by taking the testimonies
of the witnesses in five different
states"
In reply to the allegation that the
, district attorney had lost almost
completely the confidence of the peo-
pie of the county OF New York, the
answer disclalms any ability to judge
OF this assertion, but sets forth,
bearing upon the question, some OF
the numerous letters which he has
been receiving since these charges
1 have been filed, containing assurances
Of confidence and expressions of ap-
lproval OF the district attorneys
course, In the list of letters re-
feiTed to are communications from
: Joseph II Choate. formerly am
bassador TO Great Britain; Benjamin
y. Tracey, formerly secretary of the
navy and Edward NJ. Shepard.

MONUMENT FOR BLUNDERERs

NUN UMENl tOk BLUM DENtho
Someone in Collinwood has con-
ceived the idea OF calling upon the
Edhool children of Chic for dona-
tions with which to erect a monu-
ment to the teachers and children
who perished in the disaster which
attacked the village, last week. The
idea probably has its origin in the
donations which were made by the
school children all over the coun-
try for rebuilding the school build
ings which were wrecked by the
great earthquake at San Francisco.
The investigation which has been
made into the cause of the fire in
the North Collinwood building Is by
no means complete, but enough mas
been learned to show that the dis
aster would not have occurred had
not someone, or some several persons
blundered. 1t has been shown that
egress from the building was inn
perfect; that one of the doors was
either locked or swung inward; that
the heating system of the building
was very imperfect; that the men
who had charge of the schools had
been lax in the discharge of their
duties; that the village had endeav-
ored to economize by cutting down
for fire fighting apparat-
us and the indications are that some
of the blame for the great loss of
life can be laid at the door Of the
janitor of the building.
While this investigation is going
ION in an effort to fix the response
Ibilty for the disaster, with the pos
,sible view of making an example of
these men. some one comes forward
with grand scheme to have the sur
Ivlving school children of Ohio erect
la monument to the blunders of those
who we're responsible for the awful
slaughter of their little brothers and
sisters. This aid is to be solicited,
not for charity, 1t is not to assist in
providing school houses for those
who have been temporarily robbed
of school opportunities, hot TO afford
relief for the survivors who were in
iured in escaping from the burning
IEuildipg. rot TO found asylums for
those distracted parents whose little
ones perished in the flames, but to
erect monument TO the criminal
carelessness of the men who were
responsible for the sacrifice 0f more
than a hundred and seventy lives.
What a noble cause. If these men
desire to have the memory of their
lblunders perpetuated, let them erect
the monument Instead of calling
upon the school children Of Ohio TO
erect such a monument, 1t would be
more appropriate for them to adopt
resolutions TO censure and to call
upon those who have charge OF the
schools Of the various cities in the
state to give them every possible pro-
lection.
We have no sympathy for such a
move and should call be made upon
the pupils OF Marion for donation,
| II should be promptly turned down.

The effect of the New York
World s Opposition to Mr.. Bryan's
Candidacy.
The Judgment of the people now
and what I. was few months ago
as to what effect the unreasonable
opposition OF that great news paper,
The New York World. would have
upon Mr.. Bryan's chances to be
nominated and elected the president
of the United States, has materially
changed in favor of that Great Com
moncr OF the people. It was at one
time thought that the "World" "
might succeed in at least influence
ing the New England and Middle
States against him. The mighty
West we all knew would not take
kindly to the Worlds tactics of
tyrade and unfair plans, however
much we had heretofore thought of
that alleged Democratic sheet. The
tide has set in is changing, until
now the people are beginning to see
and feel, that the Worlds unholy

1T may at first and undoubtedly

not only the underhold of the

has brought TO light many facts

pie now see plainly have made Mr.
Eryan more endeared than ever. not
only to Democrats in the East, but
Republicans all over the United
States.
