from two sources. First, from the
want Of confidence on the part of the

there was run on the banks, and in
the next place because the banks
themselves were even more cowardly
than the depesitors; because the big
banks throughout the country practi-
cally suspended payment, that is the
one way in which they stopped the
panic. So The amendment does
not levy any additional burden upon
the banks. It does not require them

Expected to Answer

PARIS, Feb. 27.-It is now evident
Roy fully expected he would have to
answer a charge in connection with
the death of Carkins, as it was learned
today that M. Goron. a detective, was
engaged by Roy to collect testimony,
and has been working on the case for
several weeks.
Goron said today that Glacia Gala
on the 4th of January, two days after
the killing, gave his agent in America
a version of the occurrence Identical
with that now set forth by Roy.
The case is attracting much atten-
tion in the French press. and there
is much public sympathy for Roy's
father who is one of the most promi-
nent dealers in blooded horses in
Paris.
Detective Moron and members of
Roys family are contesting every dam
aging statement telegraphed to Paris
from America.
They insist the killing was a legiti-
mate act of self-defense. The family
plainly seeks to represent that Roy
was the victim of Miss Calais wiles,
stress being laid upon the family's ef-
forts to break off his relations with
her

and the fight waged fiercely for several
minutes, until the strike breakers I'm

The encounter took place near Port
land, the nearest town to where the
plant is being erected. The union men
returned to Portland after having laid
down their tools. They met the strike
breakers en- route to the works. The
latter had been engaged last night
when the contractors realized that the
strike was inevitable. According to
their plea, the men were not aware OF
the circumstances under which they
were to work.
When attacked by the strikers they
were not aware of the motive for the
act, and fought back until they were
able to escape, and fled across the hills.
The union men walked out because
the contractors refused to discharge a

TWENTY-FIVE CHARGES FILED
AGAINST w. T. JEROME
FAILURE TO DISCHARGE DUTIES
is ALLEGED IN PETITION
New York Committee of Metropolitan
Railway Company Declares Dis
trict Attorney Grossly Neg
ligent in Prosecutions

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Twenty-two
specific charges are made in a petition
praying for the removal of William
T. Jerome district attorney of the
county of New York, which was sent
to Governor Hughes at Albany today
by a committee of stockholders of the
Metropolitan Street Railway company
through its chairman, William L.
King.
The petition alleged that Jerome
failed to properly prosecute charges
of alleged Jury fixing" and the giving
of false testimony in street railway
cases; that the prosecution of VIOLA
tions of the criminal law by the life
insurance companies of New York, as
disclosed by the Armstrong commit
tee, had been delayed; that an alleged
criminal conspiracy to divert the prop
erty of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way company of New York into the
hands of a few men was allowed by
Jerome to go on and that hundreds
of stockholders were robbed of their
money; that no attempt was made to
punish men alleged to have commit
ted other frauds in connection with
the New York city traction deals.
Statements "ScandaIous"
Jeromes statements as to judges are
alleged to have been mot only i'm
proper, but scandalous in their ma
ture," and to have tended to destroy
the confidence of people in the integ-
rity of their courts.
The committee also charges that the
district attorney misconducetd him
self in failing 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
companys tunnel in 1902, when seven
teen persons were killed.
Various other cases of alleged fall
ure on the part of the district attorney
to perform his duty are cited in the
complaint
The petition also charges that con-
tributions to the campaign fund to
elect Jerome were received by one of
Jerome'S assistants from men connect
ed with large corporations seeking IA
vors from the district attorney, and
that the sum, the amount of which is
unknown, was upward of $4,000.
One Contributor Named
Among these contributors. it IS al
legged. was the attorney for James H.
Hyde. who contributed $4,000.
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.

torney Jerome's comment when told of
these charges and asked for a state
ment today.

file them up there every week or so
against me.

on this matter, and | shall insist that

included i'm that amendment
Mr.. Curtis then took the floor and
began by saying he had merely desired
to interrupt the Oklahoma senator so
that he might be able to make cor
rect statement to the senate.
Points Finger at Him
when you made that statement
about the Delawares being absorbed by
the Cherokee tribe, of which you are a
member, you should have told how
they were swallowed up by the Chero-
KEGS" he exclaimed, pointing his index
finger at his antagonist.
Mr.. Owen insisted that a man be-
longing to an Indian tribe is a subor-
dinate or ward, and an alien which he
said was not compatible with American
citizenship
Am an alien?" he exclaimed.
Senator Carter came to the rescue
and attempted to show that both sena-
tors were right. He said he did not
wonder that the Oklahoma senator re-
scented the idea that he was under the
control of the secretary of the interior
His remarks brought the senate into a
better humor and thereafter displaced
the strained state of mind that had
| prevailed.
Senator Gore. the blind senator
added to the relaxed tension by MAX
| ing a suggestion for a way out of the
difficulty.
TT would be we'll" he said, "for the
senate to recognize the belligeren'
rights of these two Indians"

Joined iD the laughter that filled the
chamber.
| At 2 p. m. the discussion was brought
to a conclusion by the unfinished busi
ness, the Aldrich bill, and Senator Nc.
Creary of Kentucky began to speak or
that measure.
| Senator owen went over to the Re
publican side and approached Senator
Curtis in a friendly manner and tool
seat by his side. The two laughed
good naturedly and appeared to b'
continuing the discussion so heatedly
| begun on the floor.
At the conclusion of Mr.. McCreary'
speech Mr.. owen made comprehen
sive argument with many references tt
court decisions to uphold the position
he had taken. His contention wal
that his tribal property was at his dis
posal and he could give it away or d'

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Three ar
rests here today brought to light a
scandal in the patent office which has
been under investigation since early in
February and which revolves around
an invention which is valued at more
than $500.000
The parties arrested are Ned w.
Barton, third assistant examiner of the
patent office; Henry w. Everding, a
patent Attorney of Philadelphia, and
John A. Heany, an inventor of York.
Pa. They have been indicted for at
tempting to defraud the government,
and for destroying public records.
The Indictment charges that the three
men, with an intent TO steal and de-
stroy, carried away from the patent
Office letters, specifications and amend
ments relating to patents, and unlaw-
fully and willfully destroying them.
The investigation was made upon in
formation that as a result of con-
spiracy John A. Heany had been given
a patent on an invention for manufac-
turing filaments and electrodes for
electric incandescent lamps.
Some of Facts Disclosed
The facts disclosed by the investiga-
ton were of such a character they
were presented to the grand jury 1t
is alleged that through connivance with
Ned w Barton, Heany and Everding
outrivaled more than twenty of the
largest electrical concerns in the coun-
try striving to get the same patent.
All of these concerns had filed applf-
cations for a patent, but from time to
time Barton, it is charged, would see
the specifications and employ whatever
he desired for perfecting Heany's in
vention.
To be successful in this plan it was
necessary TO destroy certain records
and file substitutes therefor.
Secretary Garfield, after a conference
with Commissioner Moore, called upor
District Attorney Baker last Friday
and the latter Immediately presented
the case to the grand jury. Subpoe-
mas were issued Monday directing
Barton, Heany and EVerding to appear
before the grand jury and at $3.50 this
afternoon the indictments were re-
turned before Justice Stafford of the
criminal court, and bench warrants
were at once issued for the arrest o1
