CONSUL BO0MS
MIDDLE WEST
British Agent Tells His Govern
ment About Great Pros
perity Here.
tRy w. w. SJernn ane.

Washington, June 29.-The depart
ment Of commerce and labor today re-
coived a report from the British foreign
office on trade, commerce and 'agricul-
ture in the consular district Of Chicago
IN the calendar year 1905, presented BY
Consul Finn. The territory embraced
in this district includes the states of
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys,
extending from Illinois on the east to
Colorado on the west, and from Okla
hcma and Indian Territory to the Cana
dian boundary line.
In his general remarks Mr.. Finn says
that "the, prosperity Of this consular
district has been more marked during
the past year than ever, as not only
have the crops been large and all fac
tories working full time, but prices
have been good for farm produce, and
manufacturers have all along had or
ders on their books sufficient to keep
them busy for several months -
!, The report, in Its details, deals with
the, statistics Of production Of the agri-
articles in the entire district, and in
the several states. The figures are
taken from official reports published
by state bureaus, boards of trade and
the federal government. The increase
in railroad mileage, and consequent in
crease in business, the development Of
seminar regions BY irrigation and
great influx of settlers to the middle
west and northwest are commented on.
Included in the report are statements
of local business conditions in st. Paul
by Vice Consul Robinson, and at Du-
lnth and Superior by Vice Consul Tay-
'1or. '-- :, :
Consul Finn booms the middle west
in one paragraph Of the report, in which
he. says: ~ -
"Neither the possibilities Of this
country nor its future growth can be
realized by anyone who has not trav-
eled extensively thru it, and studied
its possibilities and peculiarities. The
influx Of immigrants means not only
hands to do the work but also mouths
to consume whatsis produced, and there
are many million. acres In this consular
district either uncultivated or only
partly titled, which will be divided up
and afford homes and living to many
Of them.''

PROBING THAw's PAST
Prosecution Investigating in Home City
.1 ri Of Murderer.

Pittsburg, June -29.-Before Harry
Kendall Thaw comes to trial for the
murder of Stanford White there will
have been gathered here. for use by
District Attorney Jerome what is con
sidered as good proof that Harry K.
Thaw fully knew before he married
Florence Evelyn Nesbit. here In April,
1905, Of the previous relations existing
between Stamford White and Miss
Nesbit.
The story Of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw,
lily, with restrictions, was told by Mrs.
Thaw. herself to those who had been
her chums both in New York and in
Pittsburg. The story, as it appears to
have been told by Evelyn to her
ehums, is that Harry knew all about
White before he married her, and that
Mrs. William Thaw was also told,
and before the marriage, sent for
her and asked her point blank some
questions about White and perhaps
others. Evelyn is alleged by her
friends here to have answered truth
fully. She said a Pittsburg woman,
naming her, had introduced her to
White in New York after, telling her
that he was, a millionaire Of standing
with apartments in Madison Soma re
Garden. and that on meeting him she
should do anything he wanted, as he
would be the making Of herr It was
then demanded that Evelyn promise to
never see or speak to this woman again.
The complete retirement of the won
an leads to the belief here that the
money Of the Thaws has already been
set to work here and that an effort
Will be made to shut out any testimony
she may be able to give. At her home
IT Is said she has left the city, but this
is denied by her neighbors.

Washington, June 2e.-With Repre-

ter part Of valor. Yesterday, while
the conference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill was under con-
sideration in the house, a combination
was formed by the representatives from
the coal-producing states and those
who favored the appropriation for the
Jamestown exposition, to defeat the
agreement Of the conferees on the, pro-
vision, for testing Goals. The debate
had not proceeded very far before
Tawney, in circulating around the
house, discovered that the combination
was strong enough to beat that one
item. The, result would have been q
defeat for the entire conference report,
and the reopening Of the consideration
Of all the senate amendments. Tawney
had Jared very well in the conference
and he did not want his good work
thrown away, so he hastily sent word
to the senates conferees to withdraw the
report, as he did in the house. {
In the subsequent meeting Of the
conferees, Tawney consented 10 having
the coal-testing amendment drafted to
meet the views Of the coal men, thus
saving the other items on which agree
ment had been reached. Tho defeated
this time, he says that he will have leg
islation along the line he wants next

His Plea Entered.

New York, June 29.-William K. sOl-
colt and Terrence J. McManus of Black,
0lcott, Gruber & Bonynge, counsel for
Thaw, firmly believe that, once the
entire story Of what led up to the kill
ing Of White is told, there cannot be
United States, certainly in the county
Of New York, who would find young
Thaw;, guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree. They believe the verdict will
be one Of acquittal. s,- + .-...-
During the trial. which the defense
hopes will be begun soon, it is pro-
posed to lay bare the entire life of
White, especially his association with
young girls. whom he entertained in
his studio in the tower Of the Madison
Square Garden p 49, q. II. 81

den. It will also be brought out that
ever since Thaw married her, White has
been running after her. ~e
It is said that White had seen Mrs.
Thaw at least, dozen times in the
past year and half, and that when
they met casually, he had tried to re-
new the friendship that had existed be-
tween them before her marriage.
II is charged that White was accus-
toned to ogle the girl-wife In theaters
and other public places. It is said that
on the night of the murder she saw
White at2the Cafe Martin and that he
stared at her and tried to catch her
eye until she became nervous.

Mrs Thaw pleaded with her husband
not to pay any attention to White, but
Thaw said something must be done. It
will be claimed that these constant an
noyances finally worked the young hus-
band up to such a pitch Of nervous and
emotional excitement that his mind
gave away. It was while in a state
Of emotional insanity that he killed
White. Il
It is said that in the letters White
addressed to Evelyn Nesbit before she
