g?jKr*.r tMCTIi STOCKHOLDERS DISTBUST JEBBBE Offer to Relieve Him of the Trouble of Getting at Looters. MANY CHARGES ARE FILED !Tlie Suggestion of William F. King, ' of the Protective Committee, Tliat He Be Permitted to Provide Spceial Prosecutor Ptefusrd. New York City. ? Seemingly behoving District Attorney Jerome was icither unable or unwilling to nrosebutc the Metropolitan traction grafters and looters, William F. King, former president of the Merchants' Association and head of the firm of Calhoun, Robbins & Co., and his associates on the Metropolitan Stockholders* Protective Committee Went before the Grand Jury and made Ihe proposition that they be authorized to conduct the traction investigation through their own lawyers, hv the Dowers of the Grand 3ury and the District Attorney's Dffice. Jerome rejected this unprecedented proposition, the makers of which were led by a man who had been as prominent as any other in reelecting Jerome. King has said openly Jerome was not "making good" on his ante-election promises. If rumor be true, he told Jerome practically the same thing in the presence of the Grand Jurors. One element which makes King feel so keenly the failure of Jerome to bring the traction looters to book is that King collected from friends when Jerome was running for re-election large amounts for Jerome's campaign fund. He assured those friends Jerome would "make good." The understanding is that it was to "make King put up or shut up" that Jerome had him and his associates before the Grand Jury. They admitted frankly they had no positive proof crime had been committed. They insisted, however, it existed, and it was Jerome's duty to get it and to prosecute the offenders. King was before the Grand Jury ninety minutes. When he emerged he was agitated and seemed on the verge of collapse. It had been his Intention to tell outside everything he had said to the Grand Jurors, frhey warned him not to do so, and he heeded the warning. Neither he nor his associates were sworn before they were questioned. Jerome was present. He had with him several assistants. The District Attorney deemed the situation so important he even broke away from the Thaw trial. It was only after spirited discussion that Franklin Pierce, of counsel, for the committee, was permitted to enter the Grand Jury room. Eugene S. Kramer, another lawyer, was excluded. Besides King, the witnesses ex aminea were George u. uegeuciui, William Maas, Nathan H. Hyman and Isaac Blum. Before any of the men were called the Special Grand Jury had before it a communication sent to the body and to Mr. Jerome by the committee. In this the committee offered to procure, at its own expense, evidence of crimes connected with the management of the Metropolitan system. The proposition made in a letter by the Stockholders' Protective Committee to take charge of the prosecution of the traction looters reviewed much testimony already made public. The committee said rejection of the proposition would be construed to mean the District Attorney had no heart in such a prosecution and that the committee would meet with ob Btructions. ine leuer aiso criucisea Jerome severely for compelling the committee to appear. Assertion was made that millions of persons in New York and vicinity believed the officers and directors of the Metropolitan have wrecked the railway to their own advantage, and that such men of great wealth could not be punished lor their crimes. The King committee asserts the crimes of forgery in the third degree, conspiracy, the crime of paying dividends out of capital, grand larceny and lalse statements have been com mitted. Mr. King was armed with a carefully prepared statement from which he read to the Grand Jury that the funds of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company had been wasted and stolen and the accounts falsified to conceal the operations of some of its dishonest directors and officers. He read that Mr. Jerome was in possession of statements of expert accountants, showing, as he admitted of +Vi q ' + i m a IrrotriilnHHps nnrl crimes. Yet no one was prosecuted and the books were returned to the company.

I JUDGE FLAYS JEROME FOR ACTS BEFORE GRAND JURY New York City.?Practically accusing District Attorney Jerome of willfui intent to evade the law and to mislead the Grand Jury, Judge Rosalsky, in General Sessions, dismissed the contempt proceedings which Jerome had brought against Paul D. Cravath, counsel for Thomas F. Ryan. Cravath had refused to tell the Grand Jury what had passed between him and Ryan in connection with the sale of the Wall and Cortlandt Street Ferries Railway Company's franchises to the Metropolitan Securities Company by Anthony N. Brady through William C. Whitney. By that transaction about $715,000 in excess of the amount Brady, charged for the franchises was drawn from the treasury of the Metropolitan Securities Company and divided up among Whitney, Ryan, P. A. B. Widftner. William L. Elkins. Thomas Dolan and Moore & Schley, bankers. The bankers said the amount they received was used to wipe out an indebtedness which was on their books against Whitney. Cravath refused to tell the Grand Jury anything about the conversations which had passed between him and Ryan in relation to that deal. He contended the communications were confidential as between counsel and client. A rule to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt was issued against him, and the president of the American Bar Association and the president of the New York State Bar Association appeared in his defense. Judge Rosalsky upholds the contention of Cravath and his lawyers, and in doing so deals to Jerome such a scoring as perhaps no other District Attorney ever received from the bench. He intimates, seemingly, that Jerome's general intent was to have invalid indictments found against Thomas F. Ryan, who seemingly was the criminal in the case, if there was any criminal. Not only that, but he discharges the Grand Jury from further consideration of the case because of the doubtful validity of Jerome's entire procedure. To repair the damage he says Jerome has done, Judge Rosalsky directs that a new Grand Jury shail take hold of the case, and expresses the hope the District Attorney in this new proceeding will find the guilty person or persons. In view of Judge Rosalsky's excoriation of District Attorney Jerome for the manner in which he conducted the examination of Thomas P. Ryan before the Grand Jury, on which the prosecution failed to secure an indictment, the removal of Jerome la demanded. The New York World, Democratic, which supported Jerome in the recent election, says: "Conduct like this on the part of a District Attorney warrants his instant removal." The New York Press, Republican, which also supported Jerome, says: "On the showing made by the couit alone Jerome is proved to be unfit for t\e office of public prosecutor."

New York City.?Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, youngest daughter of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, was married at the Vanderbilt residence, 1 West 'KMft'o'.tiovonth street, to Count Laszlo Szechenyi of Hungary, Chamberlain to the Austrian Emperor and Lieutenant of Hussars and member of an ancient family. The ceremony was of the simplest character, and waa witnessed by more than 400 relatives and friends of the two families. As the bride and bridegroom stood in a grotto of mauve orchids and tall palm trees, while Mgr. Lavelle, of St. Patrick's Cathedral, united them, about 2000 American men and women crowded the streets surrounding the Vanderbilt home and jostled the policemen in their efforts to get close to the building.

It tl was only a few days ago that Repre- ci sentative Sabath, of Chicago, Intro- fi duced a bill to tax all property eipa- g< triated through marriage settlements tl made 6n account of such alliances. Mr. McGavin, who is a native of Illi- hi nois, got to Congress by defeating pi Carter H. Harrison's brother. tt "In thinking of these numerous tr weddings," he said, "I wondered in what the early pioneers who battled ei with the Indians, challenged the for- sc est and braved the winter's winds cl and snows to establish a Government w where manhood might be recognized w for its true value, instead of for the E accident of birth, would say if from in their graves they could look back et and see so many of the women of this P< country saclficlng their souls upon tt the altar of snobbery and vice. ai "I have no reference to any particular girl, nor have I prejudice against A all of these titled men, for some of cc them are worthy to grace any home; ai some of them have added to the tt honor of their names and to the sc glory of their countries.

I PMISEB W PRESIDENT , Roosevelt Sends War Secretary's Report to Congress. a CONDITIONS ARE MUCH BETTER Philippine Products, Taft Thinks, r Should Be Admitted to the Uni- c ted States Duty Free Within C Reasonable Bounds. S Washington, D. C.?To Congress, J land through it to the world at large, J President Roosevelt announces that r it will probably be a generation, it ?. may even be longer, before the Fili- c pinos will be fit for complete selfgovernment and ready to decide whether they shall be independent of | 'American rule. tl j This declaration from the Pre3i- 1< i dent accompanies a special report to ' him hv ffoorpharv Taft unon his re- O cent visit to the Philippines, on the e occasion of their first national assem- E bly, and recording the results of the ti American occupation of the islands S in the nine years sinca the battle oS v jj Manila Bay. Concurring in the Sec- t' retary's conclusions, and his asser- C ' tion that the Filipinos are being well H and economically governed at a pres- A ent cost of not over $5,000,000 a P year, the President says: ^ "No great civilized power has ever b managed with such wisdom and dis- d Interestedness the affairs of a people committed by the accident of war to ti ffa hands. If we had followed the tl . advice of the misguided persons who tl wished us to turn the islands loose E and let them suffer whatever fate might befall them, they would have ci already passed through a complete S and bloody chaos, and would now un- K doubtedly be the possession of some , T other power which there is every rea- r< son to believe would not have done f< as we have done?that is, would not si have striven to teach them how to 0 govern themselves or to have devel- 'i oped them, as we have developed n them, primarily in their own inter i ests. tl ' "Save only our attitude toward a Cuba, I question whether there is a h brighter page in the annals of inter- q national dealing between the strong b and the weak than the page which -11 ^ tells of our doings in the Philippines. ?

It will probably be a generation, it may even be L longer, before this *>olnt is reached, j but it is most gratifying that such substantial progress toward tms as a e] goal has already been accomplished. p( We desire that it be reached at as early a date as possible, for the sake a J of the Filipinos and for our own sake. a, j But improperly to endeavor to hurry the time will probably mean that e] the goal will not be attained at all." Secretary Taft's recommendations s] to Congress are: b First?That legislation be adopted a by Congress admitting the products of the Philippines to the markets of jg the United States with such reason- g able limitations as may remove fear of interference with the tobacco and sugar interests in the United States. C( Second?That the present restric- 0] tion be removed as to the acquisition of mining claims and the holding of Q lands by corporations in the Philip- y| pines. vj Third?That further, legislation ba e( passed authorizing the Philippine jT Government if It chooses to open and jj conduct an agricultural bank,with a C( capital not exceeding $2,000,000. Fourth ? That the coastwise D laws of the United States be made nermanently inapplicable to the trade | between the ports of the Islands and x the ports of the United States. The Secretary extols President Roosevelt for his Philippine policy, ci which, he declares, is merely the con- o; sistent continuation of that originated tl - by President McKinley. The United ei States, he says, is using every effort N to increase the capacity of the Fill- R pinos to exercise political power. He denies that it was ever McKinley's ct policy merely to await the organization of a Philippine oligarchy or aris- v< tocracy competent to administer gov- S< ernment and then turn the islands th over to it.

Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, Grape-Nuts, and get well.

One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try GrapeNuts, so I got some and prepared It as follows: I soaked 1% tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put In a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it and gave it to baby every twp hours. 'In this simple, easy way I saved baby's life and have built her up to a strong, healthy child, rosy and laughing. The food must certainly be perfect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on, and Is also a delicious, healthful food for grown ups, as we have discovered in our family."
