TO RUSH
THAW ACROSS
THE BORDER
ATTORNEYS HAVE LITTLE
HOPE OF PREVENTING
RETURN TO N. Y.

COATlCOOK (Que), Sept. A.
Harry Kendall Thaw pried out of
the Sherbrooke Jail on writ OF ha-
beas corpus obtained by a coup Of
VIM. Travers Jerome, enjoyed three
minutes OF liberty this afternoon anl
was then seized by the Dominion
immigration authorities and hustled
by automobile to this little town,
where tonight he paced the floor in
the immigration detention room over
the Grand Trunk railway station.
Tomorrow evening a special boar'
OF inquiry will sit in his case and by
night he may be thrust across the
Vermont border as an unde sirablc
alien. His lawyers have planned no
procedure to resist eXtradition to \.
Y and the belief was current tonight
that before many mours Thaw would
be back in the Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane from which he
escaped on August 18th.
Frantic Scene
The beginning of the end OF his
refuge in Canada came with drama
tic swiftness. \ writ OF habeas cor

rection OF Jerome with John Bod

as petitioner. was sustained at 2:4o
o'clock this afternoon by Matthew
Hutchinson, superior judge OF the dis
trict of St Francis. sitting in cham
bers at Sherbrookc.
Stolid, pallid numb, Thaw sat not
five feet from the judge as he read
the dicision. When in the very last
paragraph the court declared him a
Zee man, whether he desired liberty
or not. Thaw seemed to crumple up

And without a word except very

Five minutes later a gray roadster

Expect Big Increase in Wheat Acre.
age In 1914.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Nov 13.-Ex
perts who have studied wheat condi-
tons in the southwest this season es-
innate that the wheat acreage will be
increased 20 per cent next year. This
will give Kansas, for instance, some
thing over 10000 acres of wheat for
the coming harvest, as against $780,
600 acres reported at the beginning Of
this years season, and 100000 harves-
ted in 1912. Furthermore, the ground
is we'll moistened and the crop is coGl-
ing up in fine condition.
This, of itself, means half the battle.

Change Sex of Animals.

VIENNA, Nov. 13.-That he has sue
ceeded in changing the sex of animals
through transplanting certain glands
from the male to the female and vice
versa, was the somewhat startling an
nouncement made today in public
address by Professor Stomach. In
other words, Professor Steinach says
he has made female animals male and
male animals female. TO prove his
statement he showed animals in which
he declares, he has changed the sex.
He declared that placing the male
glands into female animals, changed
the entire nature of the latter and vice
versa. He believes that similar oper-
atoms are possible on human beings.

AUTOMATIC SIGNAL
PREVENTS WRECKS
NEW INVENTION JUST ANNOUNCED
WILL BE BOON TO THE
RAILROADS.
Simple Device VIII Flash Light to
Engineer In His Cab When
Danger is Near.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 13.-Seven
years ago Carl Bull, then 10, witness
ed railroad wreck. An engineer of
a switch engine had asked a tower
man whether certain passenger train
had passed that point. He was in
formed it had and pulled his engine
onto the track. A few minutes later,
the engineer was dead, a passenger
lives were lost in the collision. The
tower man had made mistake. Today
Carl Bull, electrician and inventor,
has perfected what he believes to be
the one complete, most important rail-
road signalling and safety device in
existence. His invention, he claims,
flashes danger signals before the en-
gineer's eyes right in the engine cab
hence fog or other bad weather con-
ditions will not interfere with the en-
gineer getting all signals.
An ingenious contact device is the
key to the invention. In explaining
his device Bull shows a miniture To-
connective on a miniature track. A
white light burns in the engineers
cab as long as the track is clear for
three blocks" ahead. Another train
on the track within that distance
causes a contact which shows green
light in the cab. Within three blocks
Of any break in the rails the contact
flashes red light in the cab. If for
some reason the lights should not
work, bell rings automatically
Perhaps the most valuable part of
the invention is seen when the engi-
neer dies or falls unconscious at his |
post. If such is the case, and the red |
or green light shows, the breaks are
automatically thrown on when the !
train enters the last block. Bull has
worked for seven years on the inven
ton and is seeking recognition from
the railroads He is considering /
placing his invention before members
of the interstate commerce commits

Alfonso VIII Try to Come.

MADRID, Nov. 13.-Rumors are cur
rent again that King Alfonso will try
to visit America. He made a special
request that Spain be represented at
the Panama exposition to be held in
San Francisco in 1915, and it is be-
lieved that his unusual interest in the
show pressages his determination to
have the cabinet consent to let him
take the trip.
Alfonso is extremely progressive and
has no sympathy with the laws of his
country which resist the personal
liberties of kings so greatly.

Facing Serious Famine.

PARIS, Nov. 13.-Sardine fishermen
in Brittany today are out of work and
facing a serious famine, since the mel
chants who have supplied them for
years refuse to grant them further
credit. The crisis is due to the men re-
fusing to employ modern nets, in which
they are upheld by the government, the
canning concerns being forced to shut
down because they say, they are unable
to make expenses by the old 'aethod.
