WIFE TO STAND BY. THAw.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Will Work for
Her Husband,


Her Husband.
New York, July 22.-Mrs Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw is SO firm in the belief
that her husband Harry will be ac-
quilted for killing Stanford White
that she has determined to take a
hand personally in the preparation OF
Harry's defense. For hours yester-
day she studied the documents which
have been turned over to Clifford
w. Hartridge, Harry Thaw's personal
counsel, by Black, Olcott, Gruber &
Bonynge.
Mrs. Thaw knows that her hus-
bands relatives are eager to save
Harry by sending him to a madhouse.
She is just as determined that such a
step shall not be taken, and she has
promised her husband that she will
stand by him in his demand for trial
before a jury.
Mrs. William Thaw remained In
Roselyn yesterday with her daughter,
Mrs. Carnegie. She is not equal to
/ the task of visiting the Tombs every
day, and Harry does not want her to.
There is no break, however, between
Harry Thaw and his mother.

but less damaging explosion than that
which occurred Tuesday morning was
experienced at 11:15 o'clock at the At
Iantic Dynamite company's lsant, sew
en- miles from Ashland No one was
killed or injured.
The dynamite and powder which
was scattered by last Tuesdays explo-
sion had been gathered into consid-
cradle pile near the site of the de-
stroyed neutralizing building. A bon
fire was lighted some distance away
from the explosive, and this lire
spread through the dry grass Seeing
that the fire was certain to reach the
dynamite and powder pile, warning
whistle called every workman to a
distant part of the plant. There they
stood and waited for the explosive to
ego up" This the explosive did, send
ing tinlbers and parts of machinery
1000 feet into the air.
Workn,en Quit Job.
Windows were broken at Ba"ksdale,
Wis, and the first message from that
place was telegram of resignation by
the operator.

ty per cent of the employees have quit

dent. Their is a rumor that the dyna-
mite was being burned as refuse.

San Francisco, July PA terrific
explosion of dynamite which was
placed just where it would create the
greatest havoc, completely wrecked
the engine room and hosting plant at
the quarry of the Berkeley Rock COM
pany at Broadway and Second avenue,
in Oakland, just after the employees re
turned to work after lunch yesterday.
Frederick Hoffman, the superintendent
of the quarry, was SO seriously injured
internally that it is feared he cannot
live. Hoffman was hurled out of the
engine room by the conclusion, and
the building which housed the machin-
cry of the quarry was demolished.
An examination of the wrecked en-
CINE proved that the dynamite had
been placed in a part of the machinery
where it would be exploded at the first
turn of the wheels. There is no clue
to the perpetrators of the outrage.

Regulations in Future.

Regulations in Future.
Berlin, July 22.-Notwithstandin
President Roosevelts official assur-
ance that the new inspection laws will
guaranty the purity of American
meat exports, Germany will enforce
new and more stringent regulations
after Sept. 1 against imports from
American packing houses.
Meat inspectors at various German
towns have been instructed that, be-
ginning on the date named, they are
to scrutinize glands of all imported
meat cuts for tuberculosis, and if
symptoms are discovered the meat is
not to be permitted to enter.
This constitutes a direct blow at
what remains of the American meat
import trade in Germany, as the meat
comes with the glands removed before
shipment, packers being unable to
leave in the glands. without spelling
other cuts not destined for export. So
the pieces in question will be practi-
cally excluded from Germany after
! the new regulations go into force.
The government has stopped the
shipment of American canned goods

Out of such conditions only one

swept the great state Of Missouri away
from its democratic moorings, is split
