NO EOUALTY FOR ' RICH AND POOF,

Before the Law, Rich Man Goes Free and Poor Man Gets Sentence. WILLIAM T. JEROME TALKS

SAYS RICH CAN HIRE COMPETENT LAWYERS WHILE THE POOR CANNOT AND FORMER ESCAPE THROUGH LOOPHOLES. New York, Dec 5. "There is no real equality of rich and poor before the law. A rich man and a poor man may appear in court in cases in which Ihe crime and the circumstances are

almost identical, and yet the rich go free and the poor be convicted. Yet one is no more guilty than the other." If John Smith had made this statement, it wouldn't be important. What does Smith know? He gets his information second hand. But the speaker was William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New York the prosecutor of Harry K. Thaw. Jerome was referring particularly to New York when he spoke, and ought to be Informed. He prosecutes rich and poor. New York's famous prosecutor justines his remarkable interview by saying that if all public officials would be fearless enough to acknowledge conditions as they are, the public, with an accurate understanding of the disease, would better know what kind of medicine to administer to efTect a cure. Jerome has no panacea to offer, or advice to give as to how the condition he described as existing could be changed. He drew a diagram on his bloter showing the short route he declared the poor man takes to the penitentiary and the long, marvelously ingenious one he said the rich prisoneter travels to freedom and then added:

Your - Christmas Money wh us At a very satisfactory rate. If you have a loan with any other loan Company and It has ever occurred to you that the rate seemed excessive, and the matter of saving means anything to you, TRY US; over cur signature we guarantee to make you the saving. We mean ALL we say. We loan money on any kind of personal property, anywhere, any time, any amount. You can pay us back In weekly, monthly or qua:terly payments, in such small sums to suit yourself.

"I do not see how the condition can be remedied." The Jerome interview of these days is of a somewhat different character than the Jerome interview of a year ago. Jerome is a different Jerome. He gives his interviews in fewer words now. Always quick to reply, he speaks more sharply, more direct from the shoulder. You are welcome to his opinion.s. If you ask a blunt question you get a blunt reply. He doesn't dodge. "As to the poor man's chance of properly defending himself in court," says Jerome, bluntely, "it is small." Better Legal Advice. "The state of course, is expected to aid the poor man in his defense. But when a court appoints lawyers for the defense they are often of tho shyster variety, and at best seldom experienced or very able. The poor man has no funds to bring in witnesses from distant points, nor to pay experts or private detectives for working up evidence. But the rich man or the prosecution can do all these things and more. "The rich man gets the best lawyer to be had, one who knows a hundred loopholes that can be legally taken

advantage of, and then he can do like Thaw send clear to Europe to get witnesses. He brings every bit of light there is to bear on his side of the case. The jury is likely to be overawed. And all this the rich man does legally, on the ground that it is an effort to get at the truth. "This Is to say nothing of the ways the rich may use their money for purposes of corruption and still escape detection." Speaking of the insurance and race track cases, the prosecutor drew a diagram to illustrate another way in which the rich escape the penalty of the law by evasion. "The long, zig-zag line around the many obstructions which represent legal barriers, shows the rich man's path," exclaimed Jerome. The short direct one, is the day laborer's. Both want to break the spirit of the law to accomplish some very desirable personal end. The rich man calls in his high priced attorney. . " T want to do so and so,' he says. How do I go a bout it to avoid interference with the law? " "Very simple, replies the highpriced attorney, after he and his associate cousel have spent several days studying the situation. 'Just follow this long road around through the gaps in the many legal barriers, and perhaps have a bill or two passed by the legislature, and amend an act and you are safe. "So the rich xnaa goes ahead, mad L

the prosecuting attorney, am power

less, for he has broken no law. "But the poor man, whose ambition is the same, has no money to hire counsel to show him how to travel around the legal barriers. He tries to plunge through the first barrier he

I comes to. He violates a law. Then it J is my duty to nab him. And in court ! his lack ot funds handicaps him again. J "I do not make the laws. merely I am entrusted with the duty of enforc- ! ing them. If I did make them I would

put up a law without gaps. As long as the gap is there the rich man can hire a good legal pilot to take him through." The district attorney cited the recent case of John Van Renssalaer, son of wealth, who wrote letters threatening to kill his own mother, if she did not give him a large sum of money. Van Renssalaer escaped punishmnet by the quick work of his attorneys, who had him committed to Bellevue as temporarily irresponsible. Instead of being charged with blackmail. Van Renssalaer was merely charged with threat

ening. This allowed the authorities to send him to the hospital instead of to jaiL j "If he had been a poor man it is likely he might have gone to jail," said Jerome. "But he was able to employ lawyers who were shrewd enough to

find the gaps in the law."

PEOPLE OF FAR EAST WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO EAT AMERICAN CEREAL GREAT TRANSPORTATION PLANS LAID. Chicago, Dec. 5. "Ten years from now a large per cent of the population of China and Japan will be living on American wheat," was the prediction of a railroad president in this city the other day, commenting on some of the big transportation problems which now confront the railroads of the

United States and Canada and the steamship companies of the Pacific coast. "The beginning has been made and It is only a matter of time now," he said, "before the Orientals will learn to eat wheat bread and then there will be an enormous increase in the exports of American cereals. The Canadian roads are already awake to this fact and are putting themselves in better position every day to handle the traffic when it comes. The Grand Trunk Pacific, when it is completed, will have a lower grade than any other line across the continent and plans have been considered for a fleet of giant steamships to ply between Prince Rupert and Asiatic ports. It has been stated that a single locomotive will handle more cars over the Grand Trunk Pacific than a double header will handle over any of its competitors and ultimately the wheat of the Saskatchewan Valley and of Alberta and the Peace River region will undoubtedly flow west, through Prince Rupert, to Yokohama, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Railroads in this country are not so well prepared, although the millers realize what, is coming and are making preparations. One American miller shipped 10,000 bags of flour last year from Tacoma to Yokohama. San Francisco, Seattle,
