JEROME REMOVED
As PROSECUTOR
Itforney General Gusts Harry
ThaW'S Nemesis.
IS DISMISSED BY TELEGRAPH
.#ornsy Generals Action Believed
10 Have Removed One of the
Greatest Obstacles Between
Slayer and Freedom.

New York. Jan. 28.-W. T. Jerome,
for nearly nine years known as Harry
Kendall Thaw's nemesis, was removed
an Tuesday from his position of spe-
dsI deputy attorney general of the
date of New York by Attorney Gen.
gal Woodbury., and at once ceased his
ight to have Thaw sent back to Mat
teaWan insane asylum.
The reasons that actuated Attorney
General Woodbury. are embodied in
he telegram of dismissal which he
sent to Jerome. The telegram in part
ead
You and Mr.. Kennedy ought to be
congratulated upon the tuccessful cul-
ninatiOn of your efforts for the return
Of Harry K. Thaw to the rightful juris-
iICtiOn of the courts of this state. The
case will now be handled by the at
orney generals office. 1 thank you for
Jour services.
"EGBURT E. WOODBURY."
Thus ends the long prosecution of
ThaW by Jerome. And thus one of the
greatest obstacles between Thaw and
freedom is removed. Thaw's friends
are openly predicting that Thaw's
chances for victory in his coming fight
are now more than bright.
Jerome has been connected with the
case since the night the Pittsburgh
Millionaire shot and killed Stanford
White, nine years ago next June.
Through both sensational trials,
through three habeas corpus hearings,
and through every recourse to law, old
and new, Jerome raced with Thaw,
and always barred the gate. After Is
months Of waiting, the unrelenting
Jerome fetched Thaw back to New
YTk-the final chapter in the most
remarkable prosecution in criminal
annals.

FATE TO FORCE
ITALY INTO WAR ?
Rome Is Warned of UItimatum
From Germany.
MOBILIZATION OBJECTED TO
Kaiser Reported to Have Told Italy
of Effect of Massing Troops-von
Buelow Is Envoy-Emperor
Sends Soldiers to Border.

Chiasso, Switzerland, Jan. 20-Aus-
tria and Germany are growing daily
more alarmed at Italian war prepara-
tons and are augmenting their
troops along the Italian frontier.
Germany especially is pouring regi-
ments from Bavaria into Tyrol, it be-
ing understood that the German gen.
eral staff is controlling all the Aus
TRAN military plans.
Prince Won Buelow, German ambas-
sador to Rome, speaking to Italian
statesmen, made it clear that if arma-
ments and the concentration of troops
on the Austrian boundaries contin-
ued, the central empires would be
obliged to denounce the treaty of the
triple alliance and send an ultimatum
to Italy demanding guarantees for the
maintenance of strict neutrality with
enemy.
That Italy is prepared to "act quick
ly" is not doubted by the Italian
press. She has now an army of 2,000,-
00G men under arms Half of these
are at training camps. The other half
has been distributed among strategic
garrison posts, with heavy concentra-
tons at the extremes of the line
Milan and Venice.
December 5 it was announced in
Rome that there were three German
army corps-in all 10000 men-in
Trentino and that these had replaced
the Italian-speaking Austrian levies.
which had been sent against the Rus
slams in Galicia.
Rome, Jan. 29.-Word has been re-
ceived here that the governor of
Yemen, Arabia, has discharged from
Office the vice-governor of Hodeida,
the commander and officers of the
gendarmeries and the head of the po-
lice, and has appointed new vice
governor, in response to instructions
from Constantinople. This does not
entirely satisfy either the Italian gov
eminent or public opinion in connec-
ton with the recent demands made
by Italy on Turkey.
The advance of the Turks on the
SueZ canal is expected to bring Italy
into the war

Wonderful New Resistance Alloy.

a new alloy for use in making cleo
trio resistance was put on the market
in Germany shortly before the war
and is said to be of great use in case
the resistance wires or strips need to
be worked at high heat; for the new
alloy of chromium and nickel can be
run at even a bright red heat without
suffering damage, and such heating
does not make the metal brittle upon
long use.
Specific gravity of the alloy is S.25.
and it has a specific resistance per
meter length and square millimeter
section of ITO ohms, 1t can support
a temperature of ITO degrees c. on
constant run. The melting point Is
1400 degrees c.

OPEN FOR TRAFFIC

Street Commissioner Shark reports. that the work on opening up Sted- man Street is completed The street has been opened up a full sixteen feet in width and is now ready for traffic. The surface on the upper end is of washed gravel, and the expectations are that it will handle the traffic over the hill without rut- ting during the winter months. The dirt street is 215 feet in length, and at one place the cut amounts to seven feet, and the whole thing was done at a total cost to the city, outside the salary of the Street Commissioner, of s132.40, or less than 53 cents per foot This low footage cost com pared with the cost of plank street. is big argument in favor of the dirt street.

London, June 23-The national at mosphere, which has been one of gloom for the past week, frightened up last night when it became known that the Russians had administered re- pulse to the Germans in the Eastern theater near Styrli. The fighting had been waging there for several days with changing results, accord ing to advices from both Berlin and Petrograd, and it was not until yes terday that the tide of battle set Tn favor of the Russians and the Ger manic advance, beaten, had to with draw. This will enable the Kus sians to withdraw in order from Lem berg if they decide so to do, and fall back on their huge line of trench es just east of that city. On the other hand, if they decide to remain in their present positions, they are in better shape than they have been for weeks to hold the German Austrian army in check until supplies and re Inducements can be sent them.
