9 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. JEROME DISCUSSES “BUCKET SHOP” EVIL Habit New York Papers Have of Trying Crim inal Cases Also Comes in for Comment By New York District Attorney. “Bucket shops," said William Trav- n Jerome, "are an evil. Gambling in >11 forms la an evil. The principal dis tinction between bucket shops and the regular stock exchanges, however. Is that the bucket shop handles bets of a lew dollars and glevs more people a chance to gamble, while only men who ctn put up big sums can gamble on the •xchanges." Mr. Jerome paused to taste the Gcor git peaches and cream the waiter had •et before him. He was breakfasting In the Piedmont cafe at 9 o'clock, after t long nap away from the cares of his Stw York office. Across the little table by the window Francis F. Garvan, his aaalatant, was reading the Sunday Times, carefully avoiding the first page tnd 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 once, and the breakfast disappeared between sen' tences in n 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 danced by a glance at the table. "I don’t know that so far as fairness la concerned bucket- shops are any vorse than the big exchanges," con tinued Mr. Jerome, leaning his elbows on the table and looking at tho ques tioner. Doesn't Look Liks His Picture. He doesn't look like any of his pub Killed pictures. The aamera has failed to catch hli expression, can make no Ijcord of the kindly light In his eyes, we attractive emlle that comes and toes as he talks. But there Is great atrengih In Jerome'e face. He has a heir of blue eyee that look hard at one •* he talks, a mouth that Is firm. It Joutd be easier to Interview him at hla breakfast than to be interviewed by •lm on the witness stand. But the risk In the shope Is that ■bey may go broke and not pay. It Is •Imply a betting game. You bet that ‘be market will go one way, tbe pro prietor beta you It will not.. Now, don't misunderstand me. - do not say the bucket ahops should not •» stopped, I believe they should. Just “ I think the speculative feature of K ‘he exchangee should be atopped, If '••Ibis. But the great evil of the icket shop Is that It will accept beta °i a dollar or two, It Is always present and any man can risk hla money. The “fge exchanges will only handle hun- Jreds. They give the gambling oppor tunity to the few, the bucket ehop Places gambling In reauth of the many. aiM there are few men who have not ™ gambling Instinct. Ours Is a strong and all strong races have the' gambling spirit. Hard to Provo It on ’Em.

"But * "as hard to prove that they were regularly operated as exchangee •id that their dealings were not ear- ™i on through the regular exchanges, vhe law | n New York hinged on that, mu know.

Tbs two looked amused. They had known that they could not get away from the latest sensation. "It will bo tried next October," said Mr. Garvan. Mr. Jerome, In answer to a question, spoke of the attitude of the New York papers and their tendency to try big cases In their columns. "Yes, they do try to handle such cases themselves and stir up senti ment,” he said. "Especially when a woman Is the central figure. It makes a great hit.” “TV, t Do the Juriee ever follow the ver dict of the press?” “Well, sometimes they hippodrome us,” said Mr. Jerome, with a trace of a smllo. "But,not always." To 8peak on "Public Sentiment.” "Are you ready to announce the sub Ject of your Warm Springs address?' Mr. Jerome was asked. 'He has stead lly explained that he had not decided definitely. "Why, yes,” he said. Then hla blue eyes twinkled. "I shall talk 'Public Sentiment' and such things.” "As related to the Harry Thaw case and the Influence of public sentiment on the Jury, for Instance?" "Not exactly,” said the district at tornoy, "Just In a general way, you know, I have a number of things to talk about.” And more than that hs would not say. The district attorney will leave for Birmingham, Ala., after his address at Warm Springs, and will deliver an address before the board of trade of that city on Friday. Mr. Garvan will accompany him, and after their Bir mingham visit they will return to New York and active work. Vandiver a Southerner. A. G. Vandiver, assistant district at torney In Mr. Jerome's office, Is i Southerner. His father Is mayor of the city ol Talladega and Mr. Vandiver will pay a visit to his home before re turning to New York. It Is possible that Mr. Jerome and Mr. Garvan.will accompany ht into 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 they 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 and healthy looking, passing Jokes and Jests at ’one another, these three men, one of whom os district attorney of New York has won rame 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 tbe sensational Thaw murdsr 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 was the first of hit psrty to step from the train. He Is a re markably young-looking man for 47. He wore a tight-fighting blue serge suit with a whits figured negligee shirt and silk bow tie. A pansms hat of unusual shape set bff his head, which, by the way. Is s head that would at tract attention anywhere. One haa 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 Vnan. From his looks he can't possibly be more than It. Mr. Vandiver was tht quietest of the three. He Is a rath er tall and slender-man, dark and wiry- looking:. Mr. Jerome's first remark, after speaking to those there to meet him. was: "Well, you do have pretty warm weather down here now and then, don't you? But I rather like it, you know. It feels good." • ... . .. . Thought Hs Was in Nsw York. Mr. Garvan was a littla afraid his grip would be lost, as he saw one of the rad-costed porters walk off with It. When reassured that It would be de livered to him when he reached the cab. he seemed more at esse, soot to have a few clothes, you know. SPORTS FOR FULL PAGE OF SPORTS SEE PAGE TWELVE.

Since hla offense became known officially be has been ordered to the department of Mindanao, which I* regarded by the men aa one of the worst assignments In the Philippines. for It la pretty warm, esld he. "How Is It that you are running down, too, Mr. Garvan? The papers have had you up against a rather hard proposition,” said the reporter, aa they walked through the midway. "Yea," said he, "they have had me going good and hard and I nm Juet off catching a little rest.

"Garvan, look pleuant now, and don’t spoil this picture," said Mr. Je rome as he wu nudged-In tbe ribs by his first aulstant. "Look pleuant, please,” laid the pho tographer. "How could one do otherwise when looking at you,”, smilingly replied Mr. Jerome. All faces smiled, and one of the photos wu ready. The visitors started to get away, for a large crowd of the curious had collected to look on, but the photographer had to get an other, so they cheerfully waited and smiled again, while Mr. Jerome took occasion to light a cigarette.
