KINGSTON
HAS IT
New York, Feb. i 14.—District At-
torney Jerome is one of those oppos-
ed to purely fictitious speculative op-
erations which it is-the purpose of
the Wagner Anti-Stock Gambling bill
to put an end to. Speaking on the
subject yesterday he said:
“I believe these speculative trans-
actions, where the parties to the deal
do not see the stock, are harmful to
the business morals of the commu-
nity. Like all other pure, gambling
transactions, they should y5e prohibit-
ed. I fear it is not easy to do so by
law. Any constitutional measure
that could accomplish this purpose
without Introducting worse evils
would be a most excellent thing."
Col. Alexander S. Bacon said he
was in favor of the Wagner bill to
prevent stock gambling.
"I have not had a chance,” he said,
“to go over the provisions of the
measure in detail, but I am strongly
desirous of having brought to pass
the purposes which It seeks to ac-
complish. I venture to say that we
would have no Wall Street, so called,
and no corrupt political machines
were it not for the big corporations
which owe their existence to legis-
lation, grow rich under special privi-
leges secured by legislation, anil

needs cash and needs it badly. The
sale of $50,000,000 in city (bonds ad-
vertised for today will "help some,”
but will not afford anything like the
financial relief that the city authori-

Legislature for relief In the form of
legislation that will increase the bor-
rowing capacity of the municipality.

proceeding would require two years

The party was returning from San
Antonio, and on being asked how
things were in Temaleville, President
Jollne said that they were pretty
warm, adding further that it was nat-
ural that they should be. In regard
to the article appearing in Texas pa-
pers alleging that the visit had been
made with a view to looking Into the
matter of establishing their own termi-
nals in the Alamo City, Mr. Jollne said
that there was nothing In it, that ev-
erything was moving satisfactorily at
present and that the time was far from
ripe for anything like that. Asked re-
garding tho injunction cases which
the company Is prosecuting, he said
the enormous amount of bonds now

The enormous oxppnse of running

It can be compared only to the cx-

by the comparison. While the ex-
