JEROME PREFERS JAIL
PROCLAIMS HE WILL NEVER d.
vULGE PROCEEDINGS.
Hearing Continues on Cases Which New
York's Peppery Counsel Is Said
to Have Neglected

NEW YORK, May 5.-District Attor-
ney Jerome today said he would go to
Jail rather than comply with an order re-
ceived 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 hear
ing of charges against him before Com
missioner Hand, who was appointed by
Gov. Hughes to take evidence in the
matter of the King committees charges
that the district attorney had failed to
fulfill the duties of his Office.
The records which Judge Rosalsky or
dered filed with the court of general SEES
sions were those of the grand jury which
investigated the affairs of the Metropoli-
tan street railway system last Novem-
Der. The effect of filing these minutes
with the clerk would have been to make
them public.
Mr.. Jerome declared that Judge Rosal-
sky's order called for the original min
utes of the grand jury and that this is in
violation of the law. Judge Rosalsky
thereupon issued a new order that copies
of the minutes be filed with the clerk of
the court.

IS YEARS WITH BROKEN NECK.
Senator Money Discovers Dislocation by
Accident and Is Cured.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4.-The
fact that Senator Money of Mississippi
passed through life for thirty-fve years
with dislocated neck and did not know
it became known to some of his associ-
ates today. At the first battle Of Frank
lin, in April, 1868, Mr.. Money was a
cavalryman in the Confederate service.
He was struck by bullet and fell from
his horse.
Senator Money some time ago went to
New York, accompanied by his son, and
visited an osteopathist to be treated for
neuralgia. Almost the doctors first re-
mark was:
"Why, SENATOR you have had your neck
broken"
The physician declared that one of the
vertebrae had been pushed from the top
of the column supporting the head and
was in a wrong position. He demon
strated that the muscles on one side of
the neck were fabby and useless.
The osteopath laid the senator on
table. took hold of the misplaced verte-
bra with both hands and put it into prop
er position.
The physician told Senator Money that
he must take precautions until the weak
ened muscles regained their normal
strength He was cautioned not to turn
his head in looking at anything, but to
move his entire body. These instructions
were observed and the neck apparently
became as strong as it was thirty-hve
wears before the operation.

There he is, now" he exclaimed in
Tone OF fierce satisfaction.
Let him go, Jack" pleaded Meg. who.

the boy who, like herself, had been I'M
fortunate.
he threw off the hand which she had
placed upon his arm, and dashed off in
pursuit of Walter.
waiter had the start, and had already
succeeded in placing two hundred yards
between himself and his pursuer. But
JACK was strong and athletic, and could
run raster than boy of fifteen, and the
Instance between the two constantly di-
mlhlshed. Walter looked back over his
shoulder, as he ran, and, brave as he was,
enere came sickening sensation of fear
as ne met the fierce, triumphant glance
of his enemy.

waiter did not answer, neither did he
obey. Only few rods in advance was
deep ditch, at least twelve feet wide,
over which single plank was thrown as
bridge for foot passengers. Walter
sped like a deer forward and over the
bridge, when, STOPPING down, he hastily
pulled it over after him, thus cutting off
his enemy's advance.
Put back that plank" roared Jack.
Il would rather not" said Walter.
You'll be sorry for it, then" said
Jack, fercely.
He had walked back about fifty feet,
and then faced round. His intention was
clear enough. He meant to jump over
the ditch. Our hero took the plank and
put it over his shoulder, moving with it
farther down the edge An idea had oc-
Cured to him. which had not yet sug-
gested itself to Jack, or the latter might
have been less confident of success.
Jack stood still for a moment, and
then, gathering up his strength, dashed
forward. Arrived at the brink, he made
a spring, but the soft bank yielded him
no support. He fell short of the opposite
bank by at least two feet and. to his an
ger and disgust, landed in the water and
slime at the bottom of the ditch He
scrambled out, landing at last, but with
the loss of one boot, which had been
drawn off by the clinging mud in which
1t had become firmly planted. Still he
was on the same side with Walter, and
the latter was now in his power. This
was what he thought; but an instant
later he saw his mistake Walter had
stretched the plank over the ditch few
rods further up, and was passing over it
in safety.

CALLS SYSTEM UNFAIR.
Corporation Commissioner Smith Scores
the New York Cotton Elk
change

WASHINGTON, d. c., May AIN
submitting to President Roosevelt his
report on the methods of establishing
grade differences for future contracts by
cotton exchanges, Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, says the
present system in New York is uneco-
pomic in defiance of natural law, I'M
fair. and the benefit of its transactions
accrues only to the skilled few.
Moreover" says the report, "the eff
feet of difference system upon the
business of the New York market alone
is not a proper basis for framing the
rules of an exchange. If the New York
cotton exchange cannot exist under such
rules, then it has no right to exist at
ALL"
This statement is based on the argu-
ment that a return to commercial differ
ences whether revised daily or monthly
would really mean the destruction of the
New York cotton exchange.

Walter followed Meg through the
woods, He felt sure that he would not
have far to go to reach the open fields.
He had been delayed heretofore, not by
the distance. but by not knowing in what

SCHOOL NOTES
College Of Fine Arts

The recent effort to promote a greater
spirit of fraternity among the colleges
of u. S. c. resulted two weeks ago in a
social gathering at the college of fine
arts in Garvanza, which was so sue
cessful that a similar occasion is being
planned for tomorrow night in the same
hall. The guests will include students
from the colleges of law, dentistry and
liberal arts.
The students at the art college are
preparing for the annual exhibition
early in May, when friends will be
shown the results of the years work ir
all departments, including sketching
figure drawing, still life, designing
mechanics and pottery. Work in the
latter department has been very sue
cessful this year, and many pieces
have been sold, prominent architects
being among the purchasers.
The semi-monthly outings of the
sketching class, which have been post.
poned during the threatening weather
will be resumed this week, and Friday
a party of twenty-five will spend the
day at San Gabriel.
