¢ Mn aust the WILL TRY TO DEAL EM IN ALBANY Some of the Legislative Lead- ers Are Afraid of What He Might Do If Allowed a Free Hand, / / HIM HIS QUIETUS. No Folk Business for Rube Legislators—Raines Ready to Fight the District-Attorney— “The” McManus Gets Hot. (Bpecial to The Evening World.) ‘ ALBANY, N. ¥., Feb, 10—The tm- pression {s qaining ground ‘here that DistrictAttorney Jerome |a aohing for & row with the Legislature. The lead- @re think ‘he 1s doing his best to ‘mix {t up.” Knowing Jeromo as they 40, having got their first real impression of fhim last year, when he fought for the Dowling bill, they would be mighty pleased if the District-Attorney con- fined his investigations to. New York County, One of them remdrked to-day: “Jerome can say more nasty things in less time than any other man in the country, He's a bad man to have after you. But if he insists on ex- tending his ophere of action to Albany, we shall have to fight him in his own ‘way-an outspoken, hammer-and-tongs way.” Not knowing to what lengths Jerome might go, if given a free hand, some of the legislative leaders are advising ‘that he be dealt a quictus right away, ‘They point out whet Folk has done in Missouri, and intimate that any such ambition on Jerome's part would lead to no end of trouble, There are sev- @ral ways of putting Jerome out of the Albany business; but all of them are Saudi i) en MEN LIKE BRUTES IN TRAIN CRASH Passengers on Two Second Avenue “L” Trains Which more or leus radical and fiable to arouse overwhelming opposition, But if Jerome insists on entering the liste, {t is cor- tain that one or another of these meas- ures will be weed againat him. Jerome Surprised Them, Jerome's firet opportunity to show off fm Albany his ability as a scrapper ame last year, when he appeared be- fore committees of the Legislature and told pome plain things about gambling in the metropolis, Hla knowledge of eriminal law surprised the country @tatesmen. Then Jerome came up to @mgue on his Sunday opening bill, and he had another chance to show his mettle here, Ho sald some sharp things about legislators and their ways, but was not unt!! this year that he gave them a real scare, His implication of members of the Assenrbly in the excise @oandal was en attack that they had mot been looking for. Buch old-timers as Rainew would tike nothing better than to have a sorap ith Jerome, but the statesman from itario said to-day that he didn’t expect to offer any measure of retalia- tion against him. He remarked: “I gee Jerome is trying to get after ‘ap on the railroad pass question. Let fhm come. He can't show me up; for T never used railroad passes since the constitutional provision barring thelr use went Into effect, That provision, by the way, has cost us quite a sum of money, You'd be surprised to see bow much @ Senator can spend in @avelling during the course of a yu...” eee Assemblyman Frederic B, Perham, @f the Twenty-ninth New York Dis- trict, caused ‘The McManus, of the Witteenth, to get warm under the collar yesterday during a debate on Boss Odell's Metropolitan Elections Bureau, “The” wanted to knuw what good au lection bureau was, if !t couldn't dis- Cover any fraud on the Republican mide, He olted the case of young “Dick” Van Cott, and Mr, Perham, who was defending the Wark of the bureau, retorted that the man who Oharged Van Cott with colonizing atter- ward confessed to having committed Derjury, ‘The member trom the Twenty-ninth bh ua with his argument, but ‘“Dne’ not satisfied, Due neither Perham ‘aor he chairman Would pay any attention to him, Then be demanded recognition by rising to Question of personal privilege, He ae. & statement on the Van Cott an om gan Sat Setiised to give way, tho ‘Dwenty-ni as! he memoer’ from eaten © question?” promps- Fetuso to ti to lumi" “Me.” "Whatever I have” to ne the Speaker, and he can give it Member from the T'wenty-ninth,” began to talk, but the pound: ot chairman's gavel ‘vo!
