London, July 12.—It was disclosed
in the house of lords last night that
the government thinks the present
moment inopportune to initiate an in-
ternatipnal conference on the limita-
tion of air armaments. The house was
debating the motion introduced by
Lord Gorell, aimed at having Great
Britain join with the American gov-
ernment for such a conference.
The debate ranged over the whole
question of land, sea and air defense,
much satisfaction being expressed,

Inwood, N. Y., July 12.—Robert T.
(Bobby) Jones of Atlanta, whose golf
has been reaching closer and closer to
the top with the passing tournaments,
launched another sally for national
title honors toay in the fourth and fi-
nal qualifying field for the 1923 open
championship.
Last year at Skokie Jie shared second
honors with the veteran professional
John Black, with a card of 289, one
stroke behind Gene Sarazen’s winning
288. Bob Cruikshank of the Shackama-
don Club at Westfield, N. J., was drawn
as Jones’ partner for the round to-
day.
Jesse Guilford of Auburndale, Mass.,
former amateur, paired with Wm. M.
Brand of Upper Montclair, N. J., and
Jim Barnes, the lengthy Jelham, N. Y.,
professional, who won the open title
at Columbus in 1921; John J. Farrell,
the youthful professional of the Quaker
Ridge Club at Mamaroneck, N. Y., Rich-
ard Walsh, national public links cham-
pion, and Charles Hoffner of Phila-
delphia, are other stars in the field.
Twenty of the players in yesterday’s
field qualified. MacDonald Smith, of
San Francisco, led the field with a card
of 150 for the 36 holes. While not as
low as the 144 of Joe Kirkwood on the
second day or the 148 turned in by
Gene Sarazen in the first qualifying
flight Monday, Smith’s card was a rec-
ord of brilliant golf.- He went around
the first time in 74, two over par and
took 76 in the afternoon,
Walter Hagen qualified with 156,
saving many strokes by long putts. Al
Watrous, Canadian open champion,
made a perfect round in par 72 in the •
morninge but slumped into an 82 in the
afternoo. He qualified easily. Willie
Ogg took second place with a 153 and
Watrous and Sargent were tied for
third place.
Fifty-seven players had qualified for
the 72-hole championship Friday and
Saturday at the end of yesterday’s
round. Eighteen qualified Monday,
nineteen Tuesday and twenty yester-
day.
'TT has been
Truth must out.
Dr. R. E. House of Ferris believes
in that old maxim and he also believes
that truth sometimes needs just a lit-
tle assistance before it will out. So he
has called to his aid scopolamin, pop-
ularly dubbed by facetious newspaper-
men, “truth serum.”
The power of scopolamin to elicit
truth was demonstrated by Dr. House
to a committee of sheriffs at the coun-
ty jail Wednesday afternoon. The drug,
known by man for thousands of years,
but given a new application by Dr.
House, was administered to a young
white man who volunteered at the jail
to give scopolamin the opportunity to
ferret out the truth.
The results of the test were highly
pleasing to the jailers and sheriffs who
viewed the experiment. For fifteen
minutes or so while the young man was
under the influence of the “truth treat-
ment” he was plied with questions.
Apparently everything he said was rec-
ollection, uncolored by imagination or
the fabrications of reason.
He was questioned as to the time he
had been in jail, what he had been ar-
rested for, the whereabouts of his rel-
atives and on other subjects that called
memory into action. Those who saw
the test were satisfied that the man
had told the truth and were pleased
with the power of scopolamin. The

HEARING IS FIRST.
Offering more resistance to the drug
than any of the other four senses, hear-
ing is the first to shake off the effects
of scopolamin. On the average, ac- 1
cording to Dr. House, it gets thirty-
minute start on the other senses. This
period is the, valuable one, when the
patient is questioned and should, ac-
cording to all logic, tell the truth like
in innocent child. For his memory,,
free of the impulsive urgings of rea-
son and imagination, unfolds the story
f fact without embellishment. '
The story of how Dr. House came
o experiment with its application to
criminology is almost aclassie one now,
ince scopolamin formed subject mat-
.er for first page newspaper stories a
month ago and scribes tried vainly to
swallow the word.
In 1916, Dr. House related, he was
treating a woman in confinement. She

was under the influence of scopolamin,
which had been used in obstetrics for
a number of years. Her husband, near-
by, began a search for something. He
asked in a loud tone the whereabouts
of the object and to the surprise of all,
the wife, who apparently was uncon-
scious, answered, giving the true place
where the object could be found.
That was the spark which set Dr.
House thinking. His first experiment
with the drug on criminals was made
in the same year in a Dallas jail. He
made several more experiments for
Burn’s detective agency. Since that time
he has made twenty-five experiments
with men and many more than that
number with women.
The most recent of these experiments,
not including the one made at the Gal-
veston county jail Wednesday, were
conducted in California, where they
attracted widespread attention.

given legal recognition in criminology.
Prison authorities, Dr. House related,
have been wary of allowing use of their
prisoners for experimentation so that
volunteers have to be depended on. He
was denied permission to experiment
in the Federal prisons.
BEFORE WIDELY APPLIED.
Before it can be widely applied, ad-
ditional experiment is needed. Dr.
House says he would l1ke nothing bet-
ter than to spend the rest of his days
experimenting with Scoplamin in rela-
tion to its criminolgical uses, but he
has a practice at Ferris that has taken
him twenty years to work up and he is
not a wealthy man.
Only much experience can teach the
proper methods of working out a pa-
tient under the Influence of Scopolamin.
Dr. House has found that questions
must be very simple, often must be
repeated and that various types of pa-
tients react differently to the drug.
He does not claim the distinction,
foisted on him several times since
“truth serum” became the toast of
columnists, of discoversug the drug.
From all accounts, it was used in the
time of Christ to give prisoners con-
demned to death to relieve them of
death agonies. There are other ac-
counts of its uses in ancient times, ac-
cording to Dr. House.
In modern-times it has been used to
treat insane patients and to treat drug
addicts and alcoholics. In 1900 it was
applied to surgery and in 1904 Dr.
Steinbuckle, a German, discovered its
use in obstetrics. So far as .is known,
Dr. House is the first to experiment
with its use in drawing out unvarnish-
ed fact from criminals and others.
The drug is not very expensive. One
experiment, according to Dr. House,
does not use over a cent’s worth of it.
Scopolamin comes from a plant grown
in Europe.
While the future of "truth serum
is uncertain, Dr. House believes it can
be applied successfully to criminology.
Through its use in this field, he sees
the possibility of saving the five per
cent of Innocents who go to prison
every year and sending the vastly larg-
er portion of criminals who roam at
large to jail.
In time of war, he points out, the
drug would be of immense value in
questioning spies, for instance. He
hints that he is working on several oth-
er angles that may lead to application
of Scopolamin in different directions.
But what these are he guards as a
secret.
Dr. House came to Galveston Wed-
nesday morning at the invitation of the
sheriffs. He remained here until Wed-
nesday night, departing for his home to
resume his medical practice.
His visit here served to introduce
Galveston at least to the newest thing
of popular interest, “the lie detector?’
morphine and has a narcotic effect.
It works on the patient in much the
same way that ether,, alcohol, chloro-
form and similar preparations do.

Dallas,. Tex., July 12—Deadly light-
ning flashes, during sudden, short elec-
trical storms in Texas the past few
days killed three persons, shocked but
not seriously injured about ten others,
rendered a Beaumont man and his wife
temporarily speechless and deaf, and
set fire to a 300,000 barrel oil tank at
El Vista, near Port Arthur.
Douglas O’Rouke was killed while
shocking wheat yesterday near Amaril-
lo. William G. Toler, oil field work-
er, was shot from the ground several
feet in the air and stricken dead by a
lightning stroke near Breckinridge.
Vernon Seago, 19, hoeing cotton near
Hico, in Hamilton county, literally
leaped out of his clothes and shoes, to
Instant death when lightning tore
through his body.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Robichaux of Beaur
mont, today had fully recovered from
peculiar effects of a lightning bolt
which rendered Mrs. Robichaux speech-
less and Mr. Robichaux deaf for about
eight hours.
Fire at the Gulf Production Com-
pany’s 300,000-barrel capacity earthen
tank near El Vista was reported to be
still burning early today. Lightning
Tuesday night struck the tank, which
boiled over, sending hundreds of gal-
lons over its edges. A half dozen fires
sarted up in the vicinity.
A temperature of 103 was recorded at
Texarkana yesterday, with many other
cities in the state near the 100 mark.
