WOULD GUST JEROME
New Workers Send Petition to
Governor Hughes.
MAKE CHARGES OF NEGLECT

Prosecute Insurance and Traction
Men and Assert That He Favors
Contributors to His Campaign Fund.
New York, Feb 2S.-Twenty-two
specific charges are made in petition
praying for the removal of William I.
Jerome as district attorney of the
county of New York which was sent
to Governor Hughes at Albany by a
committee of stockholders of the Met
ropolitan Street railway 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 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 few men was allowed by
Mr.. Jerome to go on and hundreds of
stockholders robbed of their money
and that no attempt was made to
punish men alleged to have committed
other frauds in connection with New
York city traction deals. Mr.. Jerome's
statements as to judges are alleged
to have been not only improper but
scandalous in their nature and to have
tended to destroy the confidence of
the people in the integrity of their
courts. Various other cases of alleged
failure of the district attorney TO per.
form his duty are cited in the COM
plant.
The petition also charges that con-
tributions to the campaign fund to
elect Mr.. Jerome were received by
one of Mr.. Jeromes assistants from
men connected with large corpora
tions seeking favors from the district
| attorney and that the sum, the amount
of which is unknown, was consider.
ably upwards of $4,000.
Among these contributors, it is al
| legged, was the attorney for James Fl.
Hyde, who contributed $4,000. II is
also alleged that the assistant who
received these funds and who has
since resigned and entered law prac-
tice has undue influence with the dis.
trict attorney.

PROTESTNOT GENERAL
Some Railroads Preparing to Com
ply With Nine=HOur Law.
sOES INTO EFFECTMARCH 4
Thirty-seven Applications for Exten-
sion of Time Received by the Inter
state Commerce Commission and
Hearings Are Now Being Held.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Operating
officials of railways from all parts of
the country are In attendance upon
the hearing given by the interstate
commerce commission of applications
for an extension of the time of the
going into effect of the nine-hour law.
In all thirty-seven applications were
received by the commission asking
for the extension. Two of them al
ready have been denied, those of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railway
and the st. Joseph and Grand Island
railway, because, in the opinion of
the commission, the petitions did not
show what, in the terms of the act,
would constitute good cause" for
applications of the other thirty-five
lines are being heard as one case be-
cause the petitions are substantially
Identical. All of them assert that
they have found it impossible to pro-
cure the services of competent, eff
cient and dependable telegraph oper
ators in such numbers as will enable
them to comply with the provisions of
the law; and that, even IL they could
obtain the necessary operators, the
enforced employment of so many addi-
uonal men would be a financial hard
ship which the carriers ought not to
be subjected to. Nearly all of the
petitions also indicate that. in the
circumstances, ii the law Is enforced,
the companies will be obliged to
Close Many Small Stations
on their lines, thus interfering with
the service, causing inconvenience
and possible loss to the travelling and
shipping public and preventing the
prompt movement OF trains. The
roads which have filed applications
for extension of the law include the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific;
Illinois Central; Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul; Union Pacific; Hooking
Valley and Louisville and Nashville.
1t is regarded as significant that,
with the exception of the New York
Central lines, none of the great East
ern roads have made application for
extension. In the Northwest the Wis
consin Central, the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific are not rep
resented among the applicants
Under the law and ruling of the
commission no road which does not
apply for the extension can be bene-
ficiary OF any order granting the ex-
tension to other lines, even If such
order should be issued. 1t is assumed,
therefore. that the companies which
have not applied have made arrange
ments to conform to the provisions Of
the law when 1t becomes effective on
March 4.

Employees Reject Roads offer.

st. Paul, Feb. 2S.-By an over.
whelming majority the telegraph OPP,
orators on the Northern Pacific have
rejected the proposition made by the
road in regard to new schedule of
hours and wages to become effective
on March 4, when the "hours of sery-
ice law" goes into effect. With 900
telegraphers on the system total of
$50 votes have been received. Out of
this number of votes fully So per cent
were unfavorable to the company's
proposition, according to members of
the telegrRphers' general committee.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-One of the
