JAIL FOR JEROME.
Rather Than Comply With an Order
of the Court.

New York, May 5.-District Attor-
ney Jerome said today that he would
go to Jail rather than comply with an
order received from Judge Rosalsky
that certain grand jury minutes be
filed with the clerk Of the court of
general sessions.
Mr.. Jerome made this statement at
the hearing of charges against him
before Commissioner Hand, who was
appointed by Governor Hughes to
take evidence in the matter of the
King committees charges that the dis
trict attorney had failed to fulfill the
duties of his office.
The records which Judge Rosalsky
ordered filed with the court of gen.
eral sessions were those of the grand
Jury which Investigated the affairs OF
the Metropolitan Street Railway sys--
tenn last November. The effect OF
filing these minutes with the clerk
would have been to make them pub
lie.
Mr. Jerome declared that Judge
Rosalsky's order called for the orig
inal minutes of the grand jury and
that this is a violation Of the law.
Judge Rosalsky thereupon issued
new order that copies of the minutes
be filed with the clerk of the court

ABSURD AND RIDICULOUS.
Is the Way Rogers's attorney Charac
terizes Report Of Court Proceedings.

New York, May 5.-James NJ. Beck,
who as counsel for H. H. Rogers
and James Stillman filed their answer
at Salt Lake City yesterday in the
Union Pacific merger suit. said today:
"The Associated Press dispatch
from Salt Lake City was distinctly
misleading and at some points ap-
parently malicious. The statement
that either of my clients claimed dam
ages by reasons of the governments
allegations in the merger suit is utter
ly ridiculous. Some stupid reporter
must have mistaken the prayer for
dismissal with costs, with which every
lawyer in the country is familiar, as a
claim for damages, The statements
with reference to the purchase of
Santa Fe stock which seemed to i'm
ply that either of my clients had pur-
chased a majority of the Atchison
stock seems too absurd to warrant
even a denial"

HIGH MARK FOR CORN.
Chicago Bulls Push May Option Up
to 7O1l Cents.

Chicago, May 5.-Corn on the board
Of trade has touched 701k cents for
the May option. This is the highest
figure at which it has sold since 1902,
when John w. Gates and others COM
prising what was known as the "tin
plate crowd attempted to corner the
market.
1t is said that James A. Patten and
W. H. Bartlett are largely responsible
for the bullish demonstration. They
have taken in and paid for, it is
claimed, almost four million bushels
since May /. and many of the bears
who have sold for May delivery are
having much difficulty in filling their
contracts. The fact that only a small
amount of corn is being received from

RIVER ON THE RISE.
No Prospect of 1t Reaching Flood
Stage, However.

Another series of showers visited this
section of Kansas last night, the pre-
cipitation at Topeka amounting to .32
of an inch, making total rainfall of
l.41 inches during the past "a hours
and more to follow, if overhead indica-
tions are to be taken into consideration.
The river has been rising steadily since
the rain began to fall, the change be-
tween this morning and yesterday
morning being noticeable to a marked
degree.
Not sandbar is to be seen anywhere
and the river is said to be half fulp'
by the natives who live along the
banks and are familiar with its moods.
The surface of the water is plainly
visible from up town street elevations.
Any unusual change in the amount
OF water in the stream causes a feeling
of uneasiness in the hearts of the more
tirnid who live in the lowlands as they
recall the destruction wrought by the
flood in May, 1903. The force at the
weather bureau as well as the informa-
ton bureau at the Independent tele-
phone office has been kept busy since
early morning assuring this class that
there is no immediate danger of a
repetition of the disaster of the flood
year.
The water gauge registered II feet
and 4 inches at o'clock this morning
against reading of feet and inches
at the same hour Monday morning; a
rise of feet and inches during the
past "a hours. The water is slowly but
steadily rising as it probably will be
the greater part of the day as rains up
| the Kaw valley. during the night have
furnished another supply of water
which must be carried away before the
river begins to fall again.
The average reading of the river
gauge for the month of May, 1905, was
| 8 feet and inches. For the year fol-
| lowing, feet and 6 inches and for last
year s feet and inches in the month
| of May. This indicates that the con-
dition today is considerable above nor
NAL though a long ways from the dan
ger point
The river will carry 81 feet and G
inches of water at Topeka before Ii
| leaves the banks and this may be ta-
ken as the danger point for this city
though a rise of this amount would
cause the river to leave its bed at a
number of points above and below To
peka. On the 26th of this month In
1905 the river gauge registered Is feet
/ and inches and the timid ones made
preparations to leave the lowlands ad.
iacent to the river. This rise followed
a series Of heavy rains up the Kav
| valley but the water subsided rapidly
after this point was reached and ne
danger was done by the high water ex-
| cepting in some of the lowest bottom
| land west of Topeka.

at this time just what future action

George Gould Takes Cheerful View of
Business Situation

New York, May 5.-George J. Gould
said yesterday that he thought the
corner had been turned in the finan-

for some what unfavorable railroa d
earnings, perhaps until July, he was
inclined to take an optimistic view

all roads would not be able to bor-

CANNON AND THE METHoDlsTa

Methodists all over the state arc
indignant over the treatment that rep
resentatives of their church received
iast winter from Joseph @. Cannon,
the ear OF the lower house. Almost
every day some good Methodist 10
heard to declare that, although a re-
publican, he wouldn't hesitate to vote
against Cannon were he a resident OF
Cannon's congressional district.
There are two ways for Methodlsts
TO aid in eliminating Speaker Cannon.
one is to lend their voice and vote
toward his defeat for reelection to
congress, aud the other Is to lend
their voice and vote for the defeat OF
any other candidate for congress who
is not known to be against the re-
election Of Cannon as speaker OF the
house.
Nor is IL proper to assume that the
afront offered the representatives OF
the Methodist church arose from any
dislike for that denomination alone on
the part OF the speaker. He sneered
at these men and insulted them, not
because they were Methodists, but be.
aust they were Christians, and were
there asking him for legislation that
would aid in suppressing immortality.
In Oklahoma a vote for Henry 8.
Johnston in the first district. Elmer
l.. Fulton In the second district, Jas.
$. Davenport I'm the third district,
Charles ID. Carter in the fourth dis.
trict and Scott Ferris in the fifth dis
trict, means a vote against Cannon
FOR speaker OF the house.
On the other hand, a vote for Bird
Mcclure In the first district means n
vote for Joe Cannon for speaker. A
vote for Dick T. Morgan in the second
district means a vote for Joe Cannon
for speaker. A vote for c. Il. Creager
in the third district means a vote for
Joe Cannon for speaker. \ vote for
h. +. Hackett in the fourth district
means a vote for Joe Cannon for
speaker.
II the Methodists OF Oklahoma who
resent the treatment OF the bishops OF
their church by the Car from Dan
willie, are sincere in their hope that
he may never again be speaker, they
will aid In making 1t impossible by
voting for democratic candidates for
congress. \ republican congressman
from Oklahoma means a vote for Car
Cannon for speaker. II any republi
can doubts this. let him write to the
republican candidate for congress
from his district and see II he will
deny IL.
