"This bill Is not aimed at one man alone, though undoubtedly there Is one especially mentioned who would be affected," said Mr. Jerome. "We want a chance to get after 'Honest John' Kelly, honest in name only;'Lou Ludlum, that crook from Connecticut who stations two wooden Indian policemen outside the front door of his gambling establishment while the crowd goes in at the side door; Frank Farrell, whose place in Thirty-third street must have cost $200,000 to fit up; Lou Betts, who is running the bouse of A1 Adams, now in Sing Sing, where he receives weekly reports from Betts; 'Shang' Draper, the notorious Manhattan bank burglar, and I could run through the list for an hour. "The importance does not attach so much to the indivadual criminal and his conviction, but it means a lot that these men can stand up und defy not only the law and those sworn to enforce it, but you legislators who put the laws upon the statute books. "Think of tbo power and defiance of this criminal who comes froin Frovldence with his art galleries, his Whis. tiers and his beautiful vases, whose defiance and evasion of the law have left a trail of disgrace over the state." Senator Braokett Denounced. Turning again to the case of Canfield, Mr. Jerome paid his respects to Senator Brackett and brought to mind the bill which passed the senate in a former year to enable Canileld to defy the law in Saratoga, and he begged the committee to consider the disrespect for law and its fairness which would W engendered by a man exerctoing great power with such effrontery "that he could have a senator on the floor of IIw Seuulu to advocate that bill at the very moment the blood of a suicide was trickling from that senator's doorstep. I do not Justify Cale Mitchell's character, but he was a victim of the unequal application of the law. "When an ex-crook can force through the senate a bill which puts a wall around his Saratoga gambling establishment so that a warrant Issued outside the town cannot be served him and a senator characterized by the responsible leader of the senate as this man's paid attorney defends the measure, then I say It is time that something should be done. "None of the crooks I have mentioned is Important nor is even his conviction as an Individual# But it is of great Importance that the law is uneven in Its application and that they defy you." P. J. Rooney, representing. Alfred Lauterbach, answered the call of Chairman Phillips for those opposed to the bill and filed a brief prepared by Mr. Lauterbach, who was Jesse Lowlsohn's counsel before the court of appeals In the case which gave rise to the present issue. George Gordon Battle also filed a brief opposing the bill as unconstitutional and unwarranted. The committee did not act on Che bill. There Is intense excitement among the members of the legislature over the discovery that the Canfleld bill, the passage of which was advocated by District Attorney Jerome, has been tampered with in such a manner as to prevent It from taking effect until after the Saratoga season and to give the gamblers In New York city practical Immunity until next fall. This device is accepted as an indication of the desperate measures that the gamblers are prepared to take. these characteristics are more pronounoed than ever. It may be that the designer had in view the fact }hat 19W was leap year: anyhow, we are pretty suje that the wearers of Waldorf Waists will be "The observed of all observers" this summer, no matter whethe-i at home or at summer resorts.

He noticed that they were closed and that their staffs disappeared during the last shelling, and accordingly issued an order to keep open, adding that while it is recognized that self-preservation is a law for each individual, it must not be abused." The debate was initiated by Mr. Gorman, who spoke for almost two hours In criticism of the course of the Republican party in the senate in refusing an Inquiry, at the sam? time charging the postoffice committee with undue haste In reporting the bill as he did the Republican party with'a desire to adjourn congress at an exceptionally early date In order to meet the wishes of the presidentStegmaier Brewing Co Bottling Department. Mr. Clay contended that there should be a congressional ihquiry, saying that the charges' Mr. Heath, exflrst assistant postmaster general, were such as to demand investigation. Air.

Mr. Lodge contended that congress could not make that would be as thorough as that already made by the postoffice department He charged the Democratic attack to a desire to And a political issue.

The paper further says that there is no sign that any foreigners will be permitted to go to the front, though the native newspaper men will be allowed to do so. The Dally Telegraph in an editorial on the unprecedented severity of this censorship suggests that Japan has some new and important move to conceal, possibly the re-embarkation of a portion of her forces already in Korea for some other point in the theater of war, and is anxious to guard against the possibility' of leakage through foreign correspondents who might sympathise with Russia.

"This bill Is not aimed at one man alone, though undoubtedly there Is one especially mentioned who would be affected," said Mr. Jerome. "We want a chance to get after 'Honest John' Kelly, honest in name only;'Lou Ludlum, that crook from Connecticut who stations two wooden Indian policemen outside the front door of his gambling establishment while the crowd goes in at the side door; Frank Farrell, whose place in Thirty-third street must have cost $200,000 to fit up; Lou Betts, who is running the bouse of A1 Adams, now in Sing Sing, where he receives weekly reports from Betts; 'Shang' Draper, the notorious Manhattan bank burglar, and I could run through the list for an hour. "The importance does not attach so much to the indivadual criminal and his conviction, but it means a lot that these men can stand up und defy not only the law and those sworn to enforce it, but you legislators who put the laws upon the statute books. "Think of tbo power and defiance of this criminal who comes froin Frovldence with his art galleries, his Whis. tiers and his beautiful vases, whose defiance and evasion of the law have left a trail of disgrace over the state." Senator Braokett Denounced. Turning again to the case of Canfield, Mr. Jerome paid his respects to Senator Brackett and brought to mind the bill which passed the senate in a former year to enable Canileld to defy the law in Saratoga, and he begged the committee to consider the disrespect for law and its fairness which would W engendered by a man exerctoing great power with such effrontery "that he could have a senator on the floor of IIw Seuulu to advocate that bill at the very moment the blood of a suicide was trickling from that senator's doorstep. I do not Justify Cale Mitchell's character, but he was a victim of the unequal application of the law. "When an ex-crook can force through the senate a bill which puts a wall around his Saratoga gambling establishment so that a warrant Issued outside the town cannot be served him and a senator characterized by the responsible leader of the senate as this man's paid attorney defends the measure, then I say It is time that something should be done. "None of the crooks I have mentioned is Important nor is even his conviction as an Individual# But it is of great Importance that the law is uneven in Its application and that they defy you." P. J. Rooney, representing. Alfred Lauterbach, answered the call of Chairman Phillips for those opposed to the bill and filed a brief prepared by Mr. Lauterbach, who was Jesse Lowlsohn's counsel before the court of appeals In the case which gave rise to the present issue. George Gordon Battle also filed a brief opposing the bill as unconstitutional and unwarranted. The committee did not act on Che bill. There Is intense excitement among the members of the legislature over the discovery that the Canfleld bill, the passage of which was advocated by District Attorney Jerome, has been tampered with in such a manner as to prevent It from taking effect until after the Saratoga season and to give the gamblers In New York city practical Immunity until next fall. This device is accepted as an indication of the desperate measures that the gamblers are prepared to take. these characteristics are more pronounoed than ever.

The debate was initiated by Mr. Gorman, who spoke for almost two hours In criticism of the course of the Republican party in the senate in refusing an Inquiry, at the sam? time charging the postoffice committee with undue haste In reporting the bill as he did the Republican party with'a desire to adjourn congress at an exceptionally early date In order to meet the wishes of the presidentStegmaier Brewing Co Bottling Department.

The Dally Telegraph in an editorial on the unprecedented severity of this censorship suggests that Japan has some new and important move to conceal, possibly the re-embarkation of a portion of her forces already in Korea for some other point in the theater of war, and is anxious to guard against the possibility' of leakage through foreign correspondents who might sympathise with Russia.
