FINDS FAULT WITH JEROME Chicago Mayor and Judge Take Ex ception to Hie Treatment of Prleoaers. CHICAGO, Jan. . Judge Edward E. Dunne delivered a broadside from the bench today against the sentiments re ported to have been expressed by District Attorney Jerome ef New York regarding the rough handling of "crook." 'A law-defying, crime-Inciting utterance from a public official charged with the preservation of the peace," was the opin ion expressed by Judgo Dunne of District Attorney Jerome' reported plan of treat ing lawbreakers. Judge Dunne gave utterance to this senti ment after Attorney Robert E. Cantwell had represented to the court that a prisoner who wua arrested and subsequently charged with complicity In several .murder and robberies had been roughly handled by the police. "The night of the Iroquois fir a police man came to thla man's cell at Central station and pushed a gun Into the prisoner' ee( severely Injuring him," declared At torney Cantwell. Attorney Cantwell referred to the alleged attack In connection with the hearing of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to ob tain the .release of two other prisoners from the custody of the police. - The two were released upon giving bonds. "Men In Mr. Jerome' position should not haw been guilty of uttering such Incen diary and Illegal sentiments, ' continued Judgo Dunne. "It Is most outrageous, un worthy of the man and a disgrace to his office. I am astounded at Mr. Jerome, as I have always believed him to be a vigorous prosecutor and an honest man. It is sim ply Inciting police officers to commit crime. "The opinion I have expressed about Pis trlct Attorney! Jerome Is based upon the assumption that he was correctly quoted ss saying that 'most of the men charged with crime with us when brought Into court pear evidence of resisting an officer. We see to It that these men do resist officers or we force them to resist, and then bring them In In fragments.' " The Interview referred to has also been raustloally criticised by Mayor Harrison The mayor said advice to "bent up" pris oners oame with a poor grace from a lan Officer. In a subsequent Interview Mr. Jerome I quoted fn reply to Mr. Harrison as follows : . "I did not say that I enjoyed the method of the New York police In handling brooks, but I did say, and know, that rough hand ling has abated crime to a great extent. If good has been accomplished there I some excuse for the means eirployed." Mr. Jorome cam to Chicago to deliver n addreos at the Merchants' club. He will leave for New York tomortow night.

NEWSPAPER COMMENT: (FROM ' NEW YORK WORLD ) Mme. Yale' peerless beauty is not con fined to one feature or group of 'features, but extends to her every feature. Nature wa lavUh with her when she bestowed the gifts of beauty upon her, for along with it she endowed her with a mind and a soul, that, comblnsd with her native beauty, generated a passion to preserve that beauty,, and then, when the secret of lasting beauty was found, an ambition and a desire to impert what she had learned to her sister pilgrims through the world.
