JEROME DISCHARGED. Trial of Thaw's >'emesis, Charered With Gambling:, Consumes Less Than an Hour. Coaticock, Quebec, September 8.? William Travers Jerome was acquitted tonight of the cnarge of having gambled on Thursday last on the station property of the Grand Trunk ttailrwfl.v here, while waiting for the immigration authorities to pass on the case of Harry K. Thaw. In discharging him the court apologized tor the humiliation to which he had been subjected. ! The ;jearing bffcre Magistrate Hen-; ry Mulvena, cf Sherbrooke, lasted less than an hour. It began at 7.35 o'clock I and at S.20 the court said: "Sir, you ; are honorably discharged." An attempt to hold an afternoon j session failed because the magistrate j felr he had 110 authority to take pre- j cedence over James McKee, the justice of the peace who signed the warrant for Mr. Jerome's arrest. Tonight, however, the magistrate said he was convinced of his authority to act and the hearing moved with dispatch. Joseph Beauline, a Coaticock lawyer, who said he variously represented justice, the people and the criminal code, interrupted the afternoon session, but when he endeavored to renew similar tactics this evening he was ruled out of court. Jerome Thanks Court. When acquitted, Mr. Jerome thank- j ed the Court, spokc flatteringly of ihis reception in Canada and added! that he did not attribute his arrest! and brief imprisonment last week to the thinking people of the Dominion. He took a late train from Coaticock tonight in order to be in New York j Tuesday and will -return to Montreal for the orguments on the latest Thaw habeas corpus writ, to be held before the King's Bench at Montreal, Sep +omhor 1 ~ bVUi k/Vl Townspeople packed the court \ room like sardines when th$ hearing was opened tonight. Each bench was taken, every inch of standing room was occupied and the bold among the auditors advanced in a ragged semicircle about the counsel table and perched at the sides of the hail, upon which the magistrate sat. Jerome looked straight at the Court and not once glanced at the throng, which, j in looks, grimaces and subdued re- > marks was plainly hostile. j: A. J. Hanson, joint prosecutor, op- ' enea the case with the reading of the i < complaint of Milford Aldricii, a mill 1 hand, who swore he had seen the de-|' fendant playing cards for money at; < the railway station. Statutes were I ! quoted to show that this was an in- :s dictable offence, punishable with a | < year's imprisonment. j i Contention of Defence. 1 Samuel Jacobs, of Montreal, who < "has been retained by New York State js in its efforts to return Thaw to Mat- j teawan, contended that the statute I'1 applied only to gambling Dn j ] a public conveyance proper. The ' 1 Court took this question under ad--1 visement and called for witnesses. DR. SA3IB0> TALKS OF PELLAGRA ; | I" Delivers Address Before Medical Society of South Carolina, After Banquet in His Honor. ] Kews and Courier, 9th. Assuring the members of the Med- < ical Society of South Carolina present . of his appreciation of Charleston hos- j pitality, and asserting that the time | lie has spent in Charleston and South Carolina has been profitable to his1 research work. Dr. Louis W. Sambon, of the British School of Tropical Medicine, delivered an interesting address last night at the St. John Hotel. The famous specialist on parasitic diseases accompanied by Dr. R. M. Grimm, of the public health service of Savannah, and Dr. .P E. Garrison, of the Naval' Medical School, at Washington, ar-1 rived here Sunday night from Spar-! tanburg. lesieraay ne was xaKeii auuui Charleston from 6 o'clock in the morn- j ing until late in the evening, conducted by a local committee headed by Dr. J. Creaighton IVJitcliell, president of the Medical Society of South Carolina, who presided at the banquet as toastmaster. Following the discussion of an excellent banquet, which began J shortly before 10 o'clock. Dr. Sambon ! was introduced to the assemblage by the toastmaster, who made a brief address.

"I came here," he declared, "simply for the purpose of studying pellagra. Although perhaps I have neglected the old history of this famous town T have observed other things which j show a future history. "During recent years the tropical | belt is receiving more and more at- i tention, and developing so greatly that j | a town like Charleston is bound to ?? : become of the greatest cconsequence. , There is all the material here necessa rv for the estajblishment of a tropical medical school and all the knowledge necessary for that purpose is JL also here. "I found here conditions which offer special interest with regard to the j etymology of the disea. wanted to ; learn as much as possible of pellagra ! while here. The time was short but I we have been hard at work. "Some years ago when I began to investigate the fundamental facts I was able to observe that they did not coincide, almost without exception, with the maize theory. This 'has always been an Italian theory. Pellagra' was first discovered in Spain, but the disease was not there ascrib- __ ed to maize. In France the Italian theory was taken up and espoused. Later it was believed that moisture rising from streams was the cause of the disease which was contracted by the stream and the patient in dy- I < ing, was supposed to turn to the A stream. These theories were not in ? any way connected with maize. >Vliere They Never Ate Maize. "Since coming the the United States Cj I have had no difficulty in obtaining j material for study," continued Dr. Sambon, and remarked on the fact several more times during the course of his interesting talk. "I examined Italian districts and e j oq o rooc prtinniflpn f. iUUliU LUC uiocaot ai v, 1^.0 V, ^-.11 wyvr with streams, generally where there were both hills and streams numerous and usually in the foothills of the Alps and Appennines. I also examined districts in Hungary and Spain and in the southwest of France, find-1 ing the same conditions everywhere. ?? In the Pyrenees conditions were similar with those in the Appennines. The disease was pronounced in the foothills. Later I published a map ^v* showing the prevalence of the disease in the hilly regions by the rivers. " "In. Sicily and Messina, where . << Maize had never been eaten, the peo- u pie still had pellagra. The discovery of the disease in the British Island 1 ^ -1? -fVi r\ mOTTO Is completely uisyiuvcu uuc ory. In tme family I found three cases where maize had never been I 11 eaten. << Due to Insect, He Says. ,{ "If maize was not responsible, what. A was the cause? The seasonable re- UJ currence of symptoms was another feature to be looked into. The whole " literature of pellagra shows that the g " disease is not contagious. Cases prove | that women can even nurse children (( without communicating the disease, rven if they are infected themselves. L took one child in my own home ? suffering from pellagra and sne liv- 1: ?d with my own three children and Trai my wife. They are all perfectly heal- j ^ :hy at this time, although when the j . . :hild came there she was a very poor ] on?] specimen of humanity. 10 v "While the disease is not contagious Sept tvhen the people come from a healthy locality and go to the infected zone, char they are almost certain to contract ihe disease within a year "It appeared to be an insect-born disease, and that is absolutely my own TTT Wor Dpinion. Everything seems to tend to the support of such a theory. 0 Ks What is that insect? I "Malaria and pellagra, I discovered, Ship have generally an absolutely inverse Sea distribution. Indications seemer to p< point to an aquatic fly, however, as ihe insect." Dr. Sambon cited the, ^ . case of the Lower and Upper Tiber, O T_where malaria is found in the lower iregion and pellagra in the upper, and J. R there is no mixture of the two in the "\y. intervening region. j> ^ May be the Stable Fly. ' "Whatever the insect was, it eviJ a SWlfMv flOWinff ] ueuLiij' pic-i^iiuu w ~ ? _ stream, and the season in which the flies appear coincided perfectly with *"" what we know of pellagra. The fly, commissi I decided, must be a biting fly. The certain tl stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans, seem- time arri ed favorable for the transmission of lagra cor pellagra. In Italy, where for simple Ext; warmth peasants live in the stables, "Pellag the disease is pronounced. While we disease? haven't definite data, we still hold suffering, to the stomoxys calcitrans theory. where th< "During my round of Charleston I in this t was shown at the Hospital cases or {us an t( negroes Where they they have never knowledg left the town and still have contract-lis possib] ed pellagra.
