THE ATLANTA 0 EOT? 0 TAX. MONDAY. Jl'r.Y IS. 1**. 9 JEROME DISCUSSES “BUCKET SHOP” EVI Habit New York Papers Have of Trying Crim inal Cases Also Comes in for Comment By New York District Attorney. "Bucket shops,” said YVilltam Trav ers Jerome, "are an evil. Gambling In all forms Is an evil. The principal dis tinction between bucket shop* and the regular stock exchanges, however, ■ Is that the bucket shop handles bets ot a few dollars and glevs more people a chance to gamble, while only men who can put up big sums can gamble on the Mr. Jerome paused to taste the Geor gla peaches and cream the waiter had set before him. He was breakfasting In the Piedmont cafe at 9 o'clock, after a long nap away from the cares of his •New York office. Across the little table by the window Francis P. Garvan, his assistant, was reading the Sunday Times, carefully avoiding'the first page and the Thaw pictures. Mr. Garvan has had enough of Harry Thaw to satisfy him for a while. Mr. Vandiver, another assistant who came South with Mr. Jerome, was still enjoying his beauty sleep. It wasn't hard to "draw out” the district attorney. Ho has learned, to do several things at nnc». and the breakfast disappeared between sen fences In a way that Indicated healthy appetite. And that the district attorney was neither frightened by the Chicago exposures, nor cajoled by breakfast food advertisements was evl denced by a glanco at. the fable. "I don't know that so far os fairness Is concerned bucket shops are any worse than the big exchanges,'' con tinued Mr. Jerome, leaning fils elbows «n the table and looking at the ques tioner. Doesn't Look Like His Picture. He doesn't look .like any of his pub. Ilshed pictures. The camera has failed to catch hla expression, can make no record of the kindly light In his eyes, me sttractlve smile that comes and toes as he talks. But there Is great strength In Jerome's face. He has a Pair of blue eyes that look hard at one u he talks, a mouth that la firm. It would be easier to interview him at his breakfast than to be Interviewed by him on the witness stand.' "But the rink In the shops is that Ihey may go broke and not pay. It Is simply a betting game. You bet that the market will go one way, the pro. prletor beta you It will not. "Now, don’t misunderstand me. 1 do not say the bucket shops should not he stopped. I believe they should, Just J* 1 think the speculative feature of •he exchanges should be stopped. If C slide. But the great evil of the ket shop is that It will accept beta or a dollar or two, it Is always present »tid any man can risk his money. The large exchanges will only handle hun dreds. They give the gambling oppor- tunlty to the few, the bucket shop Pisces gambling In reach of the many. And there are few men who have not ■he gambling Instinct. Ours Is a strong fare and all strong races have the |t»mtiiing spirit Hsrd to Provs It on 'Em. we closed some of them In New continued the district attorney, *llh a smile, as If some Incident of the campaign had been recalled. "But 11 «as hard to prove that they were »ot regularly operated as exchanges ln<i that their dealings were not car- JJed on through the regular exchanges. T he law in. New York hinged on that know. It was Impossible for us to make them show their books to Incrim. ™<e themselves." And even if they did, their books were doctored,” broke in Mr. Garvan, r '™ across the table. He had laid *ht"re Ited 8und * y P*P* r now and w ae "Of course," continued Mr. Jerome, w* he poured his coffee, "we know that f„,T n ® man bu >’* two dollars' worth of the deal can’t be handled on ^nange, but If the broken chooee to [je'end that In some mysterotus way lii* could put through such a deal '‘tftlmately. by pool-merging It with ■her sums; we could not disprove It. “ a hard proposition." As to the Thaw Cate. ■ When is the Harry K. Thaw case ■"mg i„ trial?" The question was dicaed to Mr. Jerome, district at- '• rn ’-y. who represents the state of *'* 1 <>rk in the celebrated case, and "men, who will personally prose- two looked amused. .They had known that they could not get away from the latest sensation. "It will be tried next October," said Mr. Garyan. Mr. Jeroma, In answer to a question, spoke of the attitude ot the New York papere and their tendency try big cases In their columns. "Yes, they do try to handle such cases themselves and stir up sent! ment,” he said. "Especially when i woman Is the central figure. It makes a great hit.” "Do the Juries ever follow the ver diet of the press?” "Well, sometimes they hippodrome us," said Mr. Jerome, with a trace of a smile. "But not always.” To 8peak on "Public Sentiment." "Are you ready to announce the sub Ject of your Warm Springs address?' Mr. Jeroms was asked. He has stead lly explained. that he had not decided definitely. "Why, yes," he said. Then his blue eyes twinkled. “I shall talk ‘Publlo Sentiment’ and such things." "As related to the Harry Thaw case and the Influence of public sentiment on the Jury, for Instance?" "Npt exactly," said the district at' torney. "Just in a general way, you know. I have a number of things to talk about.” And more than that he would not say. The district attorney will leave for Birmingham, Ala., after hla address at Warm Springs, snd will deliver an address before the board of trade of that city on Friday. Mr. Garvan will accompany him, snd after their Bir mingham visit they will return to New York and active work. Vandiver a Southerner. C. Vandiver, assistant district at' torney in Mr. Jerome's office, Is Southerner. His father Is mayor of the city of Talladega and .Mr. Vandiver will pay a visit to his home before re turning to New York. It Is posslbls that Mr. Jeroms and Mr. Garvan will accompany hi mto Talladega for a day. Just Off on a Jaunt The trio of New Yorkers looked as though they were Just off on a Jaunt when the)( Jumped off the "vestibule" Sunday afternoon and greeted Thod A. Hammond, and two reporters, with a hearty handshake. They were all smiles, and little looked the part of three of the most strenuous lawyers In America. Free and easy going, big snd healthy looking, passing Jokes and Jests at one another, these tore# men, one of whom as district attorney of'New York has won fama second hardly to no man In the country, and the other two very young men, by the way, recently plunged Into the public gase, by taking charge of the state’s prosecution In the sensational Thaw murder case, showed clearly that they were off for a rest and were worrying their minds but lit tle with the various affairs that have been so lately occupying their atten tion. Mr. Jerome waa the first of hla party to step from the train. He Is a re markably youngrlooklng man for 4?. He wore .a tlght-flghtlng blue serge suit with a white figured negligee shirt and silk bow tie. A panama hat of unusual shape set off his head, which, by the way. Is a htad that would at tract attention anywhere. On# has but to look at It to realise Mr. Jerome’s enormous capacity for work. Mr. Garvan and Mr. Vandiver were the last people out of the New York car. The former, and the principal counsel for the state against Harry Thaw, Is a short, heavy-set, young man. From his looks he can’t possibly be more than I*. Mr. Vandiver was the quietest of the three. He Is a rath er tall and slender man, dark and wlry- Iooktng. . Igr.
