Almuth C andlver, a prominent lawyer of New York, will oiso be In the party. At ormal dinner given by Mr. Ham nd at the Piedmont Driving Club or tho Capital city Club—It depends on r weather—will glvo Atlantans an portunlty to meet tho men they have heard so much Ob nut. Jet "in'- V III have for Warm Springs Monthly afternoon, wherq hu will address the bar association on ednesdny, according to present plans. The meeting of the association was postponed from July 4 until July 18 In order that Mr. Jerome might accept tho Invitation. The district attorney had another engagement for the Fourth and bigger things than tha bar associa tions have awaited hla convenience. Something About Jeroms. William Travera Jerome has an as sortment of characteristics. He knows what crlmee are committed In New York and how to catch the criminals. Hs knows how to convict them, and-hs not afraid to do It. He Is a forceful nnd ready speaker and can smoke more tgarettee then any man In the me tropolis. He Jins a splendid home In Lakewood, near New York, and he lives ... the slums. He Is a member of ex clusive clubs and he doee his own cooking. He gained his first place through a pull with Boss Croker and ho doesn't mind telling It. He Is a lawyer, detective, police officer, poli tician. If other men won't carry out Ideas he does It himself—but he has men with him who will do.what Jerome wants done. ■ One of these le Francis P. Garvan. Oervnn Is first assistant district at torney. With William Travers Jerome as his superior the job means work. Garvan Is a worker. He has led the prosecution In nearly as many of tho big cases which have filled the news papers as Jerome himself—and won his suits. Just at this time he Is the leading figure In the prosecution of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White and has Interviewed everybody who ever knew the Thnws, the former show girl or the man who met his death In Madison Square Garden. It was not known until Saturday that Mr. Garvan would accompany Mr. Je rome to the South, nnd It Is probable that the two will elaborate their plans In the Thaw case befo.-e they return to Now York. Mr. Hammond went to New York st January to present In pers Invitation of the Georgia liar elation to Mr. Jerome to deliver the principal address st the Warm Springs meeting. The dletrict attorney was ready to 'accept at once provided the executive committee could postpone the date for a short time. Of course this was done. To be Guest of T. A. Hammond. Mr. Hammond, who Is president of the bar association, has not formed definite plans for the entertainment of the visitors beyond a little dinner to bo given Sunday night. On Monday they may be driven over the city If thsy like and that afternoon they will leave for Warm Springs. Onq Atlanta newspaper wrote to Mr. trome a few days ago and asked for a f iy of the address which he would Ivsr. The writer evidently did not know Jerome, who never writes a- speech In advance, never plans an ad dress until he Is ready to make It, and then goes ahead and talks eloquently and forcibly. He resembles Theodora Roosevelt In his oratory. His speeches have the same sharp, fearless ring as those of the president; they are Just as full of the same saving humor and there are alwsye phrases that hit and stick. The lawyers at Warm Hprlngs are * looking forward to an sddrets worth going miles to hear. Jsrome It Only 47. William Travers Jerome Is not a young man npr yet sn old one.
