JEROME ON THAN TRIAL.
Says Prisoner Must Be Tried if

Warm Springs, Ga, July 1S.-In an interview
here to-day District Attorney Jerome of New
York indicated that he had intention of al
lum for a time until the died down, and
then get out again. going free without trial.
He stated positively that it either the insane
asylum for life a trial for his life. and that
should he at any time regain his sanity, pro-
vided that a commission should decide him in
sane, he would be obliged to stand trial
as soon as he was declared in full possession
Of his senses Mr.. Jerome also discussed the re-
training order recently granted to Thaw's at
torney enjoining him from obtaining evidence,
issuing subpoenas and questioning witnesses. de-
claring that he had been up against this dodge
before, and that, as he had been successful in
having them dissolved on previous occasions. he
believed that he would be equally successful In
this case.
1.-The appointment of commission in any
event would have nothing TO do with the state
of mind of Thaw at the time Of the committing
of the deed said Mr. Jerome IF the commits
sion should be appointed and find the prisoner
insane and this finding should be approved by
the court of trial it would mean that Thaw
,yould he sent to the insane asylum for life. and
a. he ever got out again he would be i'm
nediately placed on trial OF course some or
the witnesses might be gone by that time and

LOUD CALL FOR DIMES.
Supply of Little SilUer Coins Not
Large Enough to Meet Needs.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington July 1S-An extraordinary de-
country is being experienced by the Treasury
Department The officials are unable to account
for the great increase in popularity of this form
OF money, as compared with the nickel. which is
being used less than heretofore. So acutely is
the stringency in dimes felt at the Treasury De-
partment that banks have been placed linn
tied allowance, or just enough TO carry them for
a few days at a time.
United States Treasurer Treat said to-day that
it would help matters out a great deal il people
would take to using nickels more. It was shown
by figures at the Treasurer's office that the total
terday was only $1,000 which is far below the
ply in the banks at the close of business was ex-
hausted. Baltimore reported $1,000 in dimes and
Boston about $4,000. Mr.. Treat said to-day
August, when there would be measures taken to
relieve the stringency Just what these meas
ures are the Treasury Department has not an
nounced but it is understood that the shortage
in all subsidiary coin which the government is
experiencing will be met by the purchase of a
fresh supply of silver bullion and the coming of
new money Herewith.
The Treasury statement showed to-day that
the supply of available subsidiary coin has fallen
from S6000l00 to S5500000 within the last few
DAYS and is still diminishing. The Treasury De-
partment is arranging for shipment of dimes
from San Francisco for use in the Eastern
banks One quarter of the entire supply of
dimes of the country is now in the San Fran
cisco Sub-Treasury. Dimes are the smallest
United States coins. and probably the easiest to
lose but whether that fact is responsible for
their present disappearance from circulation or
