Man Who Took ROar Out of tue SsRoaring Forties,'' Prosecutor of Harry K. Tha,v, Dies in East

NEW YORK, Feb. IA. William Travers Jerome, crusading arch foe of Tammany Hall for nearly half a century and prosecutor of Harry K. Thaw, died yesterday at his town house as a result of pneu- monia, at the age of "A years. He is survived by his widow, who is i'll at the Jerome country home at Yonkers, and one son.
 Jerome took the roar out of Man hattan's roaring forties." AS dis trict attorney for New York Coun- ty from 1902 to 1910, Jerome clean ed up gambling and vice by a se- ries of sensational raids and "on- the-spot' courts. Chief trophy of his way was the gambling house of Dick" Garfield, a tWenty-year- old establishment frequented by millionaires.
 It was Jerome, too. who prose cuted Harry Thaw, after that scion of Pittsburgh wealth had shot and killed the noted architect, Stan ford White, on the old Madison Square roof.
 Man of Wealth
 Through his latter years Jerome led the retired life of a man of wealth. The stormy, fighting period of his public life was seemingly forgotten alike by public and him. self, after Jerome acquired for tune through q color process for motion pictures.
 Jerome raids as New York called the sudden swoops on gam bling houses of the District Attor- ney and his committee of fifteen private citizens, were almost night ly occurrences in 1901 and 1902. The Committee of Fifteen replaced po- lice when the District Attorney found that his every attempt with regular officers of the law was tipped off" in advance to the gamblers.
 Was Independent
 Running for the District Attor- neyship as an independent, Jerome dominated two municipal elections between 1901 and 1909 His first term ended in 1905 and he was tri- umphantly reelected in the face of strong Tammany opposition, all though the anti-Tammany oppo- sition vote was split three ways that year. He had been urged to run for mayor rather than seek re- election as district attorney, but he refused, protesting that he was not politician, but a lawyer with a job to do.
 When he felt that his job had been finished he returned to the private practice of law.
 Was New Yorker
 Jerome was born in New York on April 18, 1859, one of family of lawyers. His father, Lawrence Jerome, was an attorney and his brother who died about the time Jerome was admitted to the bar, was an assistant district attorney.
 It was natural for William T'rav- CTS Jerome to turn also to the le- gal profession and he did this soon after graduating from Amherst Col lege. He was admitted to the bar in 1884 and started practice with Daniel Mason as his partner. Jer- ome was an assistant district attor- ney, 1888-90, and a justice of spe- cial sessions, 1895-190l.
 He married Lavinia Howe of Elizabeth, N. J., in 1888. They had one son, William Travers Jerome, Jr.
 Throughout his career as a re- former and raider. Jerome retained tolerant personal attitude toward gambling and drinking. He fought uncompromisingly, however, against public gambling and the alliance of liquor with vice and corrupt poli- tics.

HUNDREDS ARE SLAIN; FIGHTS RESUMED TODAY
Socialists, Especially in Vienna, Tn Combat
 with Troops
GOVERNMENT GAINS
 OUTSIDE SECTIONS
Run on Banks Add to Further Panic Police
 Armed with Bayonets

BULLETIN = V I E NINA, Feb. 14.-The death toll so far in the Austrian civil war is placed by the Government this afternoon at nearly 1,50O persons.
 Scores of women and chil- dren are unofficially reported among the fighting casual ties. Indications are the Gov ernment is gaining the upper hand slowly but the Social ists are fighting every step.
 4S HOURS OF FIGHTING
 VIENNA, Feb. IA. It is estiaIated chat I,009 persons have been killed in the fight ing between the Government forces and Socialists in the past 48 hours.
 Fighting broke out again early today in various sec- tions of Vienna, the Social ists recapturing some strong holds from which they were driven last night by the Gov ernment troops.
 Elsewhere in the Austrian nation the situation is be- lieved to be coming under Government control.
 The Government has outlawed 36 societies and associations of various descriptions on the grounds they contained Socialist member ship.
 While calmness apparently pre- vailed early this morning, fight ing broke out anew with rifle fire upon the troops from various apart ment houses occupied by Social ists.
 A run suddenly started on the Central Savings Bank and this caused further disorder as crowds began forming in front of all of the branches of the bank.
 Police with fixed bayonets were assigned to these points to keep order. Panic of depositors was further increased when the Gov ernment issued a decree forbidding all banks to pay money to any Socialist organization.

ORGANIZER OF TRUSTS, CHAS.
 R. FLINT, DIES
Genius Recognized in Am erican Industry Passes
 Away Suddenly

NEW YORK, Feb. lf.-Charles R. Flint, aged 84 years. shipoWner and financier, died yesterday in the Shorehame Hotel, Washington. D. C., where he was on a business trip, according to notification re- ceived by his associates here.
 In number and variety, Flint probably had a greater part in the organization of big business cor porations than any other American.
 His activity in this field was so extensive that he came to be known familiarly as the father of trusts, ? and amassed fortune that, in the opinion of some, placed him among the wealthiest men in the United States.
 In 1927 when he was well on his way to the 78th mile post of his life, MT. Flint attracted consider able attention by marrying Char lotte Reeves, many years his junior. They had been acquainted for sev- eral years and had met frequently on businSss matters in which Mf. Flint was interested.
 Marriage Views
 During his honeymoon in Europe he expressed in an interview with newspaper men his views on mar riage and great fortunes.
 Marriage is right he said. T spent AZ happy years with my first wife as my best pal, and now I have been lucky again in my sec- ond."
 He declared that greed was the impelling force that made million aires go on increasing their wealth after they had acquired millions, instead of retiring and enjoying life.
 Ambition and power certainly play part in keeping him keen, 2

Hopkins Lan,ents
Many Black Eyes
As Queen of May
Emergency Relief Head
Inspires Poetry at
GridirOn Dinner.

Harry L. Hopkins. head Of the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Administration,
was impersonated by member Of the
Gridiron Club last night, who ap-
peared as Queen Of the May and re-
cited the following verses:
"You must wake and call me early;
call me early, mother dear.
Tomorrow'n be the happiest time in
all the Roosevelt year
OF all the Roosevelt year, mother,
the maddest, merriest day.
For I'm to be Queen of the May,
mother-Queen Of the C. w. A.
There's many a black, black eye,
mother, but none so black as mine.
There's Morgenthau and Swanson,
who have an awful shine.
But none so black as Hopkins in all
the land, they say,
For what I've had to do, mother, is
to kill the c. w. A.
Little Ickes shall 60 with me to-
morrow to the green,
And you'll be there, too, mother, to
see me made the Queen.
tut JIle JODlcSS ldQS on every S1Qe
II come from far away,
To drop their rakes and shovels for
the merry first of May.
THE leaves have all been piled in
heaps, the flower beds all spaded,
And as the buds burst into bloom
four million jobs have faded.
1t cost greater price, mother, than
Uncle Sam could pay,
And that's what wrecked the works,
mother. what wrecked the C. w. A.
THE night winds come and 60, mother,
upon the new-made grass,
Which men in search Of jobs, mother,
now trample as they pass.
So you must wake and call Steve
Early. call Steve Early, mother
dear,
So he can tell the press, mother,
about the Roosevelt year.
Tomorrow II be of all that year the
maddest, merriest day,
For tomorrow's the end of the show
mother, the end of the c. w. A"

ABOARD PRESIDENTIAL SPE-
CIAL TRAIN, Dec. 6 U.NS0.
President Roosevelt has COM
pleted the basic structure of his
economic program for the nation
in 1895.
Under this program, the New
Deal next year will swing around
a central axis of a giant combina-
ton housing ana work relief plan
There will be additions. and re-
visions of the setup and much
polishing up remains to be done.
The details are in what the Pres
ident calls the study stage.
Back of the haziness, however
there looms already the broad out
line of a cohesive whole. How
his plans will be put into effect,
Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet de-
cided, but what will be done, he
has pretty clearly in mind.
A two-weeks vacation" in his
Little White House" on the
Georgia Warm Springs Infantile
Paralysis Foundation served to
shape the new Administration
program. Today, the Executive
had clear outline of his new
plans.
The presidential special was
scheduled to arrive in Washington
about noon.
A series of conferences with Ad-
ministration aides who rode north
ward with him enabled the Presi-
dent to bring his plans near to
completion. These AdminiStra-
ton officials have been visitors at
the Roosevelt cottage in Warm
Springs for several days.
