i 11U 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 shop*," said William Trav- Jernme, "are an evIL Gambling In all forms Is an evil. The principal dis tinction between bucket shops and the rrjular stock exchanges, however, is that the bucket shop handles bets of a few dollars and glevs more people a chance to gamble, while only men who can put up big sums can gamble on the exchanges.” .Mr. Jerome paused to taste the Geor gia 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. St wasn't hard to "draw out” the district attorney. He has learned to do several things nt once, and the breakfast disappeared between sen tences In a way that Indicated a healthy appetite. And that the district attorney was neither frightened by the I'hlcago exposures, nor cajoled by breakfast food advertisements was evi denced by a glance at the table. "I don't know that so far as fairness Is concerned bucket shops are any worse than the big exchanges,” con tinued Mr. Jerome, leaning his elbows on the table and looking at tha ques tioner. , Doesn't Look Like His Picturs. He doesn't look like any of hie pub lished pictures. The camera has failed to catch his expression, can make no record of the kindly light In his eyss, the attractive smile that comes and goes as he talks. But there Is great strength in Jerome's face. He has a Mir of blue eyes that look hard at one ** he talks, a mouth that Is firm. It would be easier to Interview him at his breakfast than to be Interviewed by him on the witness stand. "But the risk in the shops Is that they may go broke and not pay. It Is •imply a betting game. You bet that the market w|ll go one way. the pro prietor bets you It will not. "Now. don't misunderstand me. I Jo not say the bucket shops should not be stopped. I believe they should, just f* * think the speculative feature of me exchanges should be stopped, If Possible. But tha great evil of the bucket shop Is that It will accept bets or a dollar or two. It Is always present •nd any man can risk his money. The large exchanges will only handle hun- deeds. They give the gambling oppor- tunlty to the few, the buckqf shop P“cr» gambling In reach of the many, and there are few men who have not gambling Instinct. Ours Is a strong 2°* and all strong races have the •ambling spirit. Hard to Prove It on 'Em. "Yes, Ws closed some of them In New York," continued the district attorney, *Hh a smile, as If some Incident' of [he campaign had been recalled. "But » "as, hard to prove that they were hot regularly operated as exchanges *»d that their dealings were not ear ned on through'the regular exchanges, the law in New York binged on that, fou know, it was Impossible for us to r*r* ,hem ‘how their books to Incrim- ,'e themselves.” And even If they did, their books vere doctored,” broke In Mr. Garvan, mom across the table. He had laid buerLted 8unda Y paper now and was of course,” continued Mr. Jerome, r.™ poured his coffee, “we know that hen a man buys two dollars' worth of 2*L°n the deal can't be handled on all.

The two looked amused. They had known that th<9 could not get away from the latest sensation. "It will be 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 ctlsea 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 makea h great lilt.” "Do the juries ever follow the ver dict of thq press?” “Wsll, sometimes they hippodrome us,” said Mr. Jerome, with a trace of a smile. "But not always." To Spesk on "Publlo Sentiment.” “Are you ready to announce the sub ject of your Warm Springs address?' Mr. Jerome'was asked. He ha* stead ily explained that he had not decided definitely. . "Why,.yes," he said. Then his blue eyes twinkled. "I shall tftlk ‘Public Sentiment' and such things.” . "As related to the Harry Thaw Case and the Influence of public aentlment on the Jury, for Instance?” “Not 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 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. C. Vandiver, assistant district at torney In Mr. Jerome’a office. Is a 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 I* possible that Mr. Jerome and Mr. Garvan will accompany hi mto Talladega for a day. Just Off on a Jaunt. The trio of New Yorkera looked aa though they were Just off on a Jaunt when they Jumped ofT the "vestibule” Sunday afternoon and greeted Thod A. Hammond, and two reporters, with a hearty handshake. They wer# all smiles, and little looked the part of three of the most strenuouk lawyer* In America. Free and easy going, big end healthy looking, poising Jokes and Jesta at one another, theae three men, one of whom aa dlatrlct attorney of New York has won fame 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 stats'* 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 was the first of hi* party to step from the train. He Is a re markably young-looking man for 47. Ha wore ,a tight-lighting blue serge suit with a white figured negligee shirt and silk bow tie. A panama hat of unusual shape set off his heed, which, by the way, Is a head that would at tract attention anywhere, one has but to look at It to realise Mr. Jerome's enormous capacity foy.work. Mr. Garvsn 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 >4. Mr. Vandiver was the quietest of the three. He I* a rath er tall and slender man, dark and wlry- Iooklng. Mr. Jerome's first remark, after speaking to those there to meet him, was:. “Well, you do have pretty warm weather down her# now and then, don’t you? But I rather like It, you know.
