A CONSPIRACY
At Which Nr. Jerome Coonived Is
Alleged.
AKORY MADE CHARGES
Against District Attorney Em-
bracing Subornation of Per-
jury and Bribery.
(Associated Press Retort.")
NEW 'iORK. February 15.—A special to
tl>4 Tribune from AH>»ny saya:
Charge*. Including subornation of per-
jury. bribery of lawyers, mlsconverslon
of millions of dollars and the enlistment
of District Attorney Jerouie in a con-
spiracy to whltewnsa the offenders, were
made affulnst the Metropolitan Street
Hallway company and its officials at a
hearing before the assembly on ways and
means yesterday.
William Amory of New York, formerly
treasurer oi the Third Avenue Elevated
ttailrond company, and who has been
fighting the Metropolitan for yeais, made
a virulant attack on District Attorney
Jeromo. Amory submitted figures which
hi saJd proved frauds amounting to mil-
lions of dollars had been perpetrated by
the officers of the Metropolitan system
on its stockholders "1 tne public, 't no
company, he charged, bribed judges.

where he hiniHelf furnished the material,

haid Mr. Amory, but Instead of acting to
convict the offenders he had entered into
a conspiracy to let litem escape. Be-
cause of this, Mr. Amory declared, he in-
tended to ask Governor iligglns to re-
move tl>e district attorney.
Tne KoeiKer resolution asking for a
l«Klsiatlve investigation of the street rail-
ways of New tforic city, and particularly
of the recent merger of traction Interests
In New Yors, brought out tucse cnarges.

In another instance, in 1903. Mr. Amory
charged that President Vreeland ob-
tained $11,000,000 from the Interurban to
"pay for the Third Avenue stock." which
had hecn paid for years before. Proof of
this he laid before Jacob H. Schiff, en-
abling Mr. Schiff to force restitution of
W.OOO.OOn from Thomas F. Ryan in 1903.
Of Jl-'.OOO.OOO collected at the same timo
for electrifying the road, abou* $3.000.0M
was spent for that purpose he said. He
added:
"I think I can furnish information tend-
ing to show that on a certain occasion
Thomas F. Ryan put up $10,000 of Metro-
politan stockholders' money as a part of
the political assessment required for the
nomination of a certain supreme court
Justice.
"If the district attorney of the county
of New York were honest and fearless, as
he himself so often has declared. It would
not be necess ary for me to appear before
this committee. If he were honest enough
to fulfill his campaign pledges of 1901,
and force the trials of wrongdoing and
corruption in the offlc.c of the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway company, if he pos-
sessed the courage to arraign himself the
most dangerous, the most vindictive and
the most powerful Interests in the district
—the necessity for an Investigation by
the legislature of the acts of this band of
heartlesH criminals would not exist to-
day.
"But because the criminal prosecutor
has put a premium on great crimes, be-
cause he has tis^d the power of his of-
fice to protect rather than punish big
criminals, and because the civil couirts
are inadequate to supply the remedy, I
appeal to tills committee.
"I declare that Jerome is fully advised
ns to the action of the Metropolitan man-
pgr rs. I declar • that he has in his pos-
tesslon legiil evidence enough to convict
them of grave crlnvs. I declare that he
told James W. Osborne and me that he
wns satisfied as to their guilt and that
the evidence was sufficient to convict. I
declare thnt Jerome subsequently entered
Into a conspiracy to allow these criminals
to escape. I declare that In furtherance
of this that he has suppressed facts and
del'berately issued an official statement
which is proved by the records to have
been wtllfully false."
No action was taken on the resolution.
Another hearing will be held next Mon-
day. at which William M. Ivins, recent
republican candidate for mayor, and
many other New Yorkers will arguo
against the merger.
IS SIMPLIFIED.
De Castellane Made Acceptable
Demand in Divorce Case.
I Associated Press Report.)
PARIS. February 15.—The financial nego-
tiations in the Castellane ease do not re-
late to Count Bonl'g estate after his sep-
aration from his wife, ns he had simplified
this branch by stating that he does not
expect a large amount. The count's an-
nouncement was made to the lawyers of
the countess. It was most emphatic and
is substantially in the following terms:
"I declare to you and I swear to the ex-
actness of my declarations, that I do not
only not demand, but that I will not ac-
cept any sum beyond the amount whlca
constituted my income before my mar-
riage."
'i lie count thus disposes of the state-
ment to tne eftect that ne contemptuously
refused $:0,')00 a year on the ground that
it wa.t nui sufficient lor his pocket money.
Trie attitude of tbe count leaves the law-
yers of the countess to consider only his
outstanding Indebtedness, which reaches
an eiiornious sum.
The Castellane marriage contract gives
the countea* her separate income not sub-
ject to claims' for the debts of her hus-
band. 'I Ills contract insures the protec-
tion of the countes* against being ab-
sorbed In tne present controversy and also
prevents the count s creditors from tak-
ing legal action against the countess. At
the same time she does not appear dis-
posed to exact the strict letter of the con-
tract or the financial negotiations for the
purpose of making some arrangements for
a compromise with the count's creditors.
The amount involved had been swollen
to enormous proportions by excessive
charg< < :or money advanced. One gentle-
man intimately familiar with every detail
of the c.ise. sild that when people sought
ndvuners of money lenders an 1 the ad-
vances rmcned three years ahead on an
anticipated Income, the t\>rrowers usually
got one-tenth, while nine-tenths went to
the usurers. This implies to the financial
r Dilation in tlio Castellane ease, compara-
tively small advances now reaching a
gigantic aggregate through excessive
charges. The extent to which the countess
will voluntarily liquidate these claims is
the chief question now, and the determ-
Irintlrn of this will probably determine
all other proceedings.
Although the lawyers expect the caso
to proceed to an early decree they recog-
nise that a slight element of Indecision
remains on the part of the countess, due
to her continued good feeling toward li»r
husband ind her repugnance to involving
her family in a scandal.
Th« foregoing facts are from those di-
rectly ?n eharg<' of the countess' interest,
thus'showing their desire to testify to the
count's correct attitude (luring tUs com.
IS TIME TO ACT
France Is Rcs'less Over the Jock-
eying at Algeziras.
SETTLE IN CONFERENCE
Expression Through Press De-
notes Desire to Break Off
Private Conferences.
(Associated Press Report.)
PARIS, February 15.—The semi-official
Temps this afternoon says the time has
come "for a public discussion before the
Algeziras conference with Europe and)
America as witnesses of France's good In-
tentions."
The paeer further asserts that private
efforts among tho delegates to induce
France to retreat from her position aro
henceforth useless, adding:
"It is now for the assembled confer-
ence to decide whether, as Germany con-
tends, France's claims are irreconcilable
with the integrity of Morocco, the sov-
ereignty of the sultan and commercial
liberty."
The foregoing is the first indication that
France does not desire to pursue any
further the efforts which Ambassador
White, the Marquis Viscount Vinueto and
other representatives of the powers are
making <for a private accord before the
controversy reaches the conference.
THE CRITICAL POINT
Delegates Feel Has Been Reach-
ed at Algeziras.
f Associated fress tie Port. I
ALGEZIRAS, February 15.—A feeling}
prevails among the delegates to the Mo-
roccan- conference that some decisive
step is not far off in the Franoo-Germa.n
controversy over the vital points of the
proposed reforms in Morocco. The dele-
gates are ->artlcularly cautious just now
In view of tne alternative wave of op-
timism and pessimism, and the fact that
the Inability thus far to reach fin accord
di>es not warrant overconfidence. But,
at the same time. It is noticed the con-
tinuance of the Franco-German pourpar-
lers shows thajt the critical stage has
not yet been reached and that toe ad-
journment yesterday of the session until
Saturday gives an opportunity for an ac-
tive .renewal of efforts to reconcile the
fcTench and German controversies.
THE VIEW IN BERLIN.
French Delegate's Reply to Ger-
man Advance Acceptable.
(Associated Press Report.)
BERLIN, February 15.—It is semi-offi-
cially declared that the reply of M. Re-
voil, the head of the French mission at
Algeziras, to the explanation by Herr von
Radowitz, the German delegate, of Ger-
many's view on the Moroccan police ques-
tion, produced an excellent impression on
the German delegate, and that, in conse-
quence, the present French attitude to-
ward the situation at Algeziras is much
improved.
WHITE'S DENIAL.
Claimed Rumor of His Alleged
Arbitration Plan Untrue.
(Associated Press Report.)
LONDON, February 16.—A dispatch to
the Pally Telegraph from Algt^siras says:
Mr. White, United States ambassador to
Italy and one of the delegates to the Al-
geziras ccnterence. Informs me that ru-
mors that the United States will arbi-
trate between France and Germany ara
absolutely imaginary.

Crescent City Association to Con-
tinue Races as Long as City
Park Holds Open.
(Houston Post Special.)
NEW ORLEANS, February 15.—The
current local _ turf war will continue
through the summer. At a meeting of
the directors of the Crescent City Jockey
club here at noon today it was unani-
mously decided to race at the Fair
grounds as long as racing lasted at City
Park.
"If City Park races every day to next
Christmas, why the Fair Grounds will do
the same," declared President Charles
S. Bush after the conference.
Later he said: "Now, Mr. Corrigan
butted into our natural field, and he
must take his medicine."
The news created profound interest
everywhere, and is by far the mos: im-
portant war development of the winter.
George C. Bennett, who came here from
Chicago foi Lim meeting, leit lor Cali-
fornia this afternoon, where he will fur-
ther cement the existing relationship be-
tween the Pacific Coast Jockey club and
the Western Jockey club. Last year the
City Park ran up to and including April
16, while the Fair Grounds closed down
on March 26.

TROTTING ASSOCIATION
Will Investigate Alleged Doping
of Lou Dillon.
(Associated Press Report.)
NEW YORK, February 15.—The alleged
"doping" of Lou Dillon at Memphis in
1904 will be thoroughly investigated by
the board of review of the National Trot-
ting association. This action was decided
upon yesterday at the. Murray Hill hotel,
where the biennial congress of the Na-
tional Trotting association was held. It
is said that the case will be considered
at the next meeting of the board of re-
view in May.
E. E. Smathers, who, it is alleged, en-
tered into a conspiracy to "dope" Lou
Dillon, visited Major P. P. Johnstone,
the president of the National Trotting as-
sociation, yesterday and requested an in-
vestigation into the charges made by
Murray Howe, secretary of the Memphis
Trotting association. He was instructed
to submit the request in writing, which
he did later In the day. The complaint,
after reciting the charges, characterizes
them as false and malicious, and abso-
lutely groundless, and demands that they
be made the subject of an investigation
without delay.
President Johnstone advised C. K. G.
Billings, owner and driver of Lou Dillon
in the race _ which it is alleged the mare
was "doped," of Mr. Smathers' action.
An interview between Mr. Billings and
President Johnstone followed, in which
the former promised that Murray Howe
would file a request at once for an inves-
tigation. This was done, and in it IIowo
charges that Mr. Smathers was guilty of
conspiracy to accomplish the defeat of
Lou Dillon in the race for the Memphis
gold cup in 1904 by "doping" her.
Secretary W. H. Goeher of the National
Trotting association left for Hartford
with Mr. Smathers' letter. Last night
President Johnstone forwarded Murray
Howe's charges to Secretary Goeher, with
instructions to begin at once an investiga-
tion of the facts.

(Associated Press Retort.)
CHICAGO, February 15.—The Bank of
America, incorporated last December with
a capital stock of $250,009, was placed In
the hands of a receiver at 10 o'clock to-
night by Judgo Chytra'ua' of the supreme
court on complaint of John E. Kar-
naugh, one of the stockholders.
The bill asking for the receivership
holds former Judge Abner Smith, presi-
dent, and the other officials of the bank
responsible for the insolvency of the In-
stitution.
In a few weeks since the opening of the
bank President Smith is charged with
having so manipulated securities, mort-
gages and notes and the stock of the
bank that he has obtained amounts ag-
gregating J146.000. The other three of-
ficials who, in connection with President
Smith, are held responsible for the in-
solvency of tho bank, are G. C. Sorro, vice
president; Jerome V. Pierce, cashier, and
F. E. Creelman, a stockholder and di-
rector.
It is charged against these officials, to-
gether with President Smith, that they
had absolute control of the bank and its
funds. The operations of President Smith
and other officials mentioned in the bill
arc said to have been begun before the
bank opened for business. Judge Smith
is said then to have borrewed money and
placed It in the treasury to deceive t!ie
State auditor into believing that the
stock had been paid up
Mr. Smith was one of the prime movers
in the formation of the bank, having sub-
scribed $70.0"*) of the stock. In order to
prevent, if possible, a panic and a pos-
sible run on the bank, it was decided to
fight the request for a receiver late to-
night.
Judge Chytraus and the clerk of the su-
preme court had been asked to be in
their offices and agreed to do so. SborT-
iv before 10 o'clock a representative of
Mr. Kavanaugh appeared with the peti-
tion. Notice had been served previously
on President Smith, but he did not ap-
pear in person or by attorney. After
reading the bill the court entered an or-
der appointing Daniel J. Healy, a stock-
holder. receiver. Bonds of $150,000 were
furnished aSd Mr. Healy took charge of
the b8iik.
Mr. Creelman, who is charged with un-
loading a, large amount of questionable
paper on the institution, is a lumber mer-
chant and is said to have big lumber in-
terests in Nashville, Tenn.
The bank had nlxnit S3CO.WO in deposits,
of which $25,000 was In savings accounts of
working people.
