JEROME FAILS ON
WSiT TO QUEBEC
Thaw Expected To Be Confined
in Sherbrooke Jail Until
October, At Least.
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN.

= SHERBROOKE, Que, Aug 29.-OCtc-
Der probably will see Harry X. Thaw
still confined in Jail in SherbrOoke. whose
citizens have made a hero of him. This
was the general opinion expressed here
today following the return of William
Travcrs Jerome from Quebec. Jerome
admitted that his mission there, was a
failura, but publicly declared that he
etill had hope of the Department of JUS
tees applying to some other judge and
forcing Thaw to Immediate trial on the
faulty Indictment on which he is held.
The last attempt of the New York
State authorities TO obtain possession II
ThaW was expected to be made today.
l.. I. Marechal, representing the Ottawa
department of justice, conferred with
Jerome on the situation and the New
York attorney made his final plea.
The Thaw lawyers were more confi-
dent of their position than ever to-
day They insisted that the battle for
delay was won: that Thaw would stay
out and that eventually he would go
wherever he pleased
ThaW's chauffeur. Educated Roger
Thompson, was scheduled to appear to
answer to a charge of bringing luna
tic into Canada 1t was the plan TO
enter plea of not guilty and then to
have the government present its evil
dence. This evidence showed that Thaw
had been accompanied into Canada by
Thompson.
Then the prosecution had the Mat
teawan records, which showed Thaw's
commitment as insane. The Thaw
lawyers intended to get an adjournment
after this evidence was in and then set
up the claim that Thaw was sane.
They intended going into the case at
length ard have offered to provide bail
for Thompson in order to continue the
fight and possibly get a Canadian COM
mission named to pass on Thaw's in
sanity.

SENATORS DISAGREE
WITH ARMY CHIEFS
Increase in Regular Army Is
Declared Not Necessary.

II the nation should be plunged into
war with a first-class power. army Of

to have a fully trained adequate force
in the field. The Mexican intervention
alarms have turned the nations atten-

useless when thousands of raw recruits
were thrown in with them.
Senators Do Not Agree.
Members of the Senate Military At
fairs Committee, however, take issue
with the army officers. Senators
Thomas of Colorado, Kenyon of Iowa,
vardaman of Mississippi. members of
that committee, express the strongest
opposition to a large standing army.
Senator Reed of Missouri prominent IN

DENIES FIRE STORY
At COLONIAL BEACH
Report of Blaze Is Without
Foundation, Telephone 0p-
orator Declares.

The rumor of a disastrous fire at
Colonial Beach last night was without
foundation. according TO the telephone
operator at the river resort.
To The Times, over the long-distance
telephone. the operator said today:
There was no fire of any kind here
yesterday or last night, and have no
idea how the rumor started. Nothing
in the nature of blaze has occurred
either here or in the vicinity of Colonial
Beach"
Officials of the Potomac and Chesa-
peake Steamboat Company also declared
they could get no trace OF a fire.
1t was rumored that part CT the
resort was in flames. and that the entire
population had turned out to fight the
fire. The report quickly spread over
the city, and created no little excite
ment. owing to the large number CT
Washingtonians who are spending the
summer there.

PROFESSOR DAssAUx.

PROFESSOR DASSAUX.
Of perfection that he believes it will
revolutionize electric lighting methods.
Professor DassauX's invention sep
arates the light from the heat, thus
enabling lamps. without breaking, to
absorb much greater currents than
they We're designed for.
The invention consists of an ap-
paratus for successfully interrupting
the electric charge with rapid flashes
and rests. so accelerated that the eye
cannot detect them. Thus an impress
sion of continuity is conveyed. and
tremendously powerful light results.
Professor Dassaux is a tireless work
er, and his fellow scientists believe he
will soon make his invention CONNER
cially practicable. In that case we
may see one electric light in the future
doing the work now performed by
| many
Just what the possibilities Of the
cold light will be when fully developed
no layman can imagine at present.
We assume. however. that instead OF
the sizzling arc lights, which now give
off an intense heat and are therefore
not adaptable to certain forms Of in
door lighting. will in the future radi-
ate no more heat than would the cold
lamp with the current turned off.

Can you tell mo the origin Of the
three ball sign Of the pawnbroker?
The history Of the three golden balls
dates back to medieval times. They
are derived from the armorial bearings
Of the Medici family. the earliest and
most famous Of the money lenders of
Lombardy. Italy. This device was first
used by the agents of the Medicis in the
city Of London and afterward adopted
by others In the same business.
There are several explanations of the
significance Of the three balls. One
says. "They represent three gilded pills
and were used by the Medicis in allu-
sion to the profession of medicine in
which the family was eminent and
from which they derived their name"
Another authority says: '"They refer
to an exploit of Averardo de Medici. a
commander under Charlemagne. This
bold warrior slew the giant Mugello.
whose club he bore as trophy. The
club had three iron balls attached to
its end"
Who first used the words "the United
States Of American"
Authorities differ. Some ascribe its
initial use to Thomas Paine. Others
give credit to Thomas Jefferson for
having named our country.
Kindly give the exact wording Of the
