By Private Leased Wire. New York, June 8.—Former Presi dent Grover Cleveland contributes a signed article on quail shooting to The Independent, which will be published tomorrow. Ilf. Cleveland says. In' part: 'I am convinced that nothing meets all the requtremhts of rational health ful outdoor exercise more completely than quail shootjng. It seems to be so compounded of wholesome things that It reaches, with vitalising efTect, every point of mental or physical en ervation. "It Invites early rising, and, as a general rule, a successful search for these uncertain birds Involves long miles of travel on foot. Obviously, this sport furnishes an abundance of mus cular action and physically strength ening surroundings. These fortunately are supplemented by the eager alert ness essential to the discovery and cap ture of game well worth the effort and by the recreation and self-satisfying complacency of more or leas skillful shooting. L \ OF DIST, ATTORNEY \ JEROME IS CHARGED WITH FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR Allegations Made in Petition Filed with Governor Higgins of the State of New York. TO KEEP COOL “In addition to ill this, the quail shooter has, on his excursions, a com panion who not only, promotes his suo- cess, but whose manner of contrlbut Ing to It Is a constant source of de light I am not speaking of human companionship, whloh frequently mars pleasure by Insistent competition or awkward Interference, but of the com panionship of.a faithful, devoted help er, never discouraged or discontented with his allotted service, except when the man behind the gun shoots badly, and always dumbly witling to concede to the shooter the entire credit of a Successful hunt. The work In the field of a well-trained dog Is of .Itself an exhibition well worth the fatigue of a quailing expedition. "An old quail shooter once advised younrer one afflicted with quick ggerltts: ‘ 'When the bird gets np, If you chew tobacco, spit over your shoulder before you shoot.’ “Our quail have many natural ene mies; they are often decimated by the severity of winter, and there are hu man beings so degraded and so lost to shame os to seek their destruction In ways most foul. A,covey of quail will sometimes huddle as close together as possible In a circle with their heads turned outward. I have heard of men who, discovering them In this situation, have fired upon them,.killing every one at a single shot. TJiere ought to be a law which Would consign one guil ty of this crime to prison for a com fortable term of yeara.’ r Grand Ball for Bankers. Special to The Georgian.

By Private Leased Wire. Albany, N. Y., June 8.—Sworn charges, embracing, a felony and mis demeanors, have been filed with Gov ernor Higgins against William Travers Jerome, together with a demand for Jerome's removal from the office of dis trict attorney of New York county. The chargee are preferred by live cltlxcns of New York. They are W. N. Amory, Sherman Dwight, Joseph C. Hurley, Edward P. White and Robert Baker. These men declare that they stand ready to prove the charges, and In J their memorial to the governor say: Ask Jerome’s Removal. "We respectfully request the removal of said William Travers Jerome, whose continuance In office Is at once a scan dal and disgrace." One of the principal, charges, which the accusers say they are In a posi tion to prove. Is: "That the eatd William Travers Je rome haa received a gratuity or reward In the shape of campaign funds to compound a crime for a violation of the criminal atatutes of this state, and has agreed and has abstained, In pur. suance of a previous agreement or ar. rangement, to abstain from the prose, cutlon of sundry criminal actions. In violation of section 125 of the penal code, and Is therefore guilty of a fol ony." Refusal to Prosseute. More charges against Jerome relates to his refusal to prosecute officials of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com pany when evidence of their alleged crimes was In his possession. Ten In stances are reiterated in the epedflca. tlons wherein the dletrict attorney In the face of overwhelming testimony, declined or neglected to bring these railroad officials to the bar of Justice. It Is even charged that In some In stances the district attorney used his office and the public funds for the pur pose of proving the Innocence of tho accused. Under the law Governor Higgins may exercise entire discretion In hearing these charges. If he decides not to dismiss the accusations the legal pro cedure would be to appoint a commls alon to receive evidence. Or, If the governor thinks a prlma facie caae haa been established and that no more evi dence Is necessary to justify, he may remove the dletrict attorney without further formality.
