a NEW DEPARTURE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME ASKS FOR PUBLIC CRITICISM
 OF HIS WORK.
OFFICIALS SHOULD ACCOUNT TO PEOPLE
In Speech to the Members of the Peoples Institute at Cooper Union the New York District Attorney Ex planed the Conduct of His office for Past Seven Years.

New York, May 4.-William Tray. CTS Jerome, district attorney of New York radically departed from his usual attitude toward the public last night by stepping before large audi. ence, members of the Peoples Insti. ute at Cooper Union, and declaring that he wished to explain the conduct of his office, ''to establish a precedent which would make it difficult for a public servant to dodge responsibility for his official acts"
 T have come here tonight to ask question. It seems to me that the public officers in this city, and gen. erally in this country, were not sui. tciently in touch. nor did they feel sufficient responsibility to the persons who elected them. It seemed to me that a public servant should be ap. pointed, so that from time to time he can account to the public for his stewardship, not account in written re- port, where he could give the thing the color he wanted, not in newspaper interviews, but account face to face with the people who have the right to vote.
 50 tonight, those of you who care to, may ask me face to face-man fashion-about the question wherein was wrong. You want fair play.
 During the seven years that have been district attorney more than 100. 900 criminal cases have gone through my office. As to many of them could have no knowledge. AS to otn. CTS I had full knowledge. But I am not trying to avoid responsibility for my acts nor the acts of my chosen assistants
 The district attorney emphasized , that he did not care how offensive" questions were, he would answer them orally, but for accuracy he said he | preferred to appear at later meet ing to state briefly what the powers and duties of his office were. T should prefer" he added. the question should be in writing, three days before the meeting
 This suggestion was adopted.

A'PHERsON'S REPLY.
THE io'fA FEDERAL JUDGE AN. sWERs REPRESENTATIVE
 MURPHYs CHARGES.
WILLING 10 UNDERGO AN INVESTIGATION
In Long Statement Issued at St. Louis the jurist Gives a Detailed History of the Missouri Rate Cases As They Progressed in His Court That Fishing Trip.

St. Louis, May 5.-Judge Smith Mo Pherson issued statement here to- day reviewing his work in the Mis- sourl rate cases and defending the course taken by him in those trials. lie asserted his willingness to under go a congressional investigation If any one member of congress aside from MT. Murphy believes there should be such a committee" and added that the Missouri congressman had done Judge Phillips a great wrong" as the latter had practically nothing whatever to do with those Missouri rate cases"
 The judge prefaces his statement with the following regarding Repre- sentative Murphy who introduced the resolution asking for congressional investigation of the jurist's action in the matter:
 T know nothing about Congressman Murphy of Missouri-never heard of him until late last night l know nothing of his motives or his pur- poses--and they are of no concern to me except that, of course, I do not like to be held up in an unfavorable light in public. His many where ases" preceding his resolutions are notable principally on account of the mistakes. both as to what he says and what he either omits or conceals. He, or someone for him, ought to have gone to the courthouse in Kansas City and obtained a memorandum of the orders which are on record and state the truth"
 Regarding the fishing trip to Tam pico, Mex, the judge has this to say:
 "As to the fishing trip of three years ago this winter, have but little to say. was invited by M:. Gard ner Lathrop, now general solicitor for the Santa Fe system, a warm per. sonal friens of mine, to go with the party to Tampico, Mex, and was gone two or three weeks as his guest was then glad to be his guest, as l always am. Everybody who knows him knows that he Is perfect gen. tleman and man of the highest char. acter. as was his father before him. the long time president of the State University of Missouri"
 After going into minute detail and giving complete history of the progress of the case in his court. Judge McPherson concludes his lengthy statement as follows:
 You ask me as to the so-called conflict of jurisdiction between the state and the United States courts. No one on either side of the cases questions the fact but that the cases were first brought in the United States courts in Kansas City in the spring or summer of 1905.
 Right or wrong. I believe right, I held in June, 1907, that the entire subject matter was still pending in the United States courts at Kansas City, whereupon I allowed supple mental bills to be filed carrying for ward the statutes of 1907 both as to freight and passenger rates.
 It is an elementary rule of law that the court which has taken juris- diction of subject matter retains that Jurisdiction until the final end, and that other courts cannot inter vene."

 was read at the meeting. as was a brief letter from President Taft, in which he told of his hearty sympathy with the aims of the congress. Welcoming addresses were made by Gov. Deneen on behalf of the state, and Mayor Busse for the city, and Rev A. Eugene Bartlett, chairman of the reception committee. also greeted the delegates. "A World Petition to the Third Hague Conference" was presented by Miss Anna B. Eek stein of Boston.
 The chief paper of the session was read by Dr. Benjamin r. Trueblood. secretary of the American Peace so- ciety. his subject being "The Present Position of the Peace Movement"
 Dr. Trueblood said in part:
 Let me sketch in the barcst out lines what has already been accom- plished The interpretation will take care of itself.
 "A hundred years ago there was not a society in existence organized to promote appeal to the forum of reason and right in the adjustment of international controversies. Today there are more than 500. nearly every important nation having its group of peace organizations. Their constituents are numbered ty tens of thousands. from every rank and class in society-philanthropists, men of trade and commerce. educators and jurists. workingmen. statesmen, rulers even.
 The position which the peace move ment has reached is no less distinctly determined by the practical attain ments of arbitration. Within the past 20 years so rapid has been the tri- umph of arbitration that more than 100 international differences have been disposed of by this means, or be tween five and six year for the whole 20 years. Arbitration is no longer an experiment. It Is the set tied practice of the nations A score of disputes today go naturally to arbi- tration where one gives rise even 10 talk of war.
 "The first Hague conference. ten years ago, gave us the permanent in ternational court of arbitration, which has now been In successful operation for about eight years and disposed of several important controversies. This court was strengthened and improved by the second Hague conference two years ago, and by the admission of the South and Central American states to| 1t, has become the arbitration court, not of the 26 powers that gathered at The Hague in 1899. but of the entire world. This tribunal is now taking practically all the international differ ences not adjustable by diplomacy.
 Another step of still greater mo ment was taken by the second Hague conference in the direction of provid- ing a perfect substitute for force in the settlement of international differ ences. It voted without a dissenting delegation for the principle of an in ternational court of arbltral justice, with judges always in service and holding regular sessions"
 Among the distinguished men at tending the congress are Ambassador Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff of Germany. Herman de Lagercrantz. envoy from Swedens Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister; Alfred Mitchell Innes, Counsellor of the British em bassy and Dr. Halvdan kont of the University of Norway.

FAVORS INCOME TAX
SENATOR BORAH CITES RoOsE- WELT AND TAFT REGARDING
 THE MEASURE.
FORMER PRESIDENT SAVED HIS PARTY
In Speech In the Senate the Idaho Man Declared That Without Mir. Roosevelt's Leadership the Republi- can Party Would Have Gone Out of Business Before This.

Washington, D. C., May 5.-During . speech on the income tax in the senate yesterday MT. Borah referred to former President Roosevelt as hay ing shaped the destinies of the Repub- lican party and said that without his leadership "his party would have gone out of business" He added that with out continued adherence to those prtn- ciples the party will be out of power"
 No man" he added. lis politically so short-sighted or politically so blind as the man who thinks the steamer Hamburg carried away the policies, the principles, the public interest the aroused public conscience and the searching public concern which this remarkable man bequeathed to his countrymen."
 This statement was in connection with MT. Roosevelts suggestion in favor of a graduated inheritance and graduated income tax.
 MT. Borah also quoted MT. Taft's speech in which he spoke in favor of the income tax.
 Does the senator believe" MT. Sutherland asked. that President Taft believed in the constitutionality of the income tax law-in other words that he believed that the law pro- nounced unconstitutional by the su- preme court was in fact constitution al?"
 q only know what he said to the American people when he was a can didate for the presidency" responded Mir. Borah, that he was in favor of an income tax which could be drawn to be made constitutional. I am not will ing to believe that the president be- rieved in drawing an income tax law applicable to men toiling in profes- sions and then in exempting the vast accumulated wealth of this nation from taxation"
 MT. Borah advocated an income tax as a means of wiping ou. the treasury deficit as well as widening public Interest in national expenditures, say ing II was no more inquisitorial than the present system of national taxa tion
 Referring to MT. Carnegie's state ment that an income tax would en- courage perjury Mir Borah said:
 "Mr Carnegie did not make the Re publican party and l wish I was just as sure that the Republican party did not make Mir. Carnegie"
 Senator Beveridge in colloquy with Mir. Borah and MT. Clay said that he had been inclined to believe in the constitutionality of the income tax law. but when the supreme court of the United States decided against it he was not inclined to set up his opin. ion against that of the court. Furthermore he believed that such a tax should be imposed only in great emergencies when he would first favor tax on inheritances and then tax on incomes. Mir. BeverIdge told Mir. Clay that tariff commission would throw vast amount of light on all these questions.

AFTER TWO JUDGES
REPRESENTATIVE A. p. MURPHY WANTS CONGRESSIONAL IN
 yESTIGATioN OF RATE CASE.
JEFFERSON AND PHILIPS ARE INVOLVED
Resolution introduced Charging the Federal Jursts With Interfering With States Rights in Railroad Litigaton--Judge Philips Is Also Charged With Tyranny.

Washington, May "A bitter attack on Judge J. F. Philips of Kansas City and Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak, Ia., in connection with their handling of the railroad rate cases in Missouri Is made in a resolution in- troduced in the house today by Repre- sentative A. P. Murphy of Rolla, Mo, representing the Sixteenth district.
 Severe criticism of the conduct of Judge Philips on the bench is also em. bodied in the resolution which calls on the speaker to appoint a commit tee of three members of the house to investigate the conduct of these two federal judges. The committee Is di- rected to report it's findings not later than December IA, 1909. with recon mendations as to what action should be taken in reference to the judges.
 Murphy asked that the resolution be referred to the committee on rules. He was ready. he said, to go before this committee with affidavits which he believed would make such show ing that the committee would give the house a charce to vote on the resolu- tion. Failing in this he said he was prepared to make fight before the committee on the Judiciary at the next session and to appeal to the depart ment of justice for an investigation by its special agents. He has an ap- pointment with the attorney general in which he expects to go over the matter with MT. Wickersham.
 Murphy insists that he will have support from members of the Missouri delegation in asking for an investiga- ton, though he Is not ready at this time to give the names of members who are with him.
 A. P. Murphy, the author of the res olution, Is a Republican. serving his second term in the house.
 Kansas City. May 4.--After ne had adjourned court at noon today Judge Philips was shown the Washington dispatch in regard to Representative Murphy's resolution. He read 1t, but declined to be interviewer. He said he might have a statement to make later
 All I will say now Is that will de mand an immediate investigation" said Judge Philips. T do not intend to allow these charges to hang fire indefinitely If can help It."
