WE ALL EAT SUGAR.
Per Capita Consumption in the United
States During 1906 Was
76 Pounds.

Washington, Feb. 9.-"The average
citizen of the United States seems to
have consumed one-half his own
weight in sugar in the year just end
ed" says a statement issued Friday
by the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. The
average per capita consumption was
76 pounds. The amount of sugar con-
sumed was six and one half billion
pounds at cost of over $30O,OO0,OOO.
OF this enormous consumption one
fifth was produced in this country,
more than half or 62,000,7O00 pounds
being produced from beets. This was
an increase of 260 percent in the pro-
duction of beet sugar from 1900 to
1906.
Rapid as the increase in sugar pro-
duction in the United States has been
in recent years, it has not by any
means kept pace with the increased
consumption In the last ten years
there has been an increase in the con-
sumption of this article of 2,O24,S16,'
$50 pounds, it beng more than three
times as great as the increased home
production.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Feb. 9.-Seven
miners are intombed in No. 10 colliery
of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal
company at Wanamie and miners
acquainted with the workings of the col
liery say there is little hope of res
cuing any of them. Fire broke out
ON the forth lift of the shaft and the
entombed men who are caught in the
lower lifts can not be reached until the
flames are extinguished. The fire
is burning fiercely and has gained
such Roadway that it may require
many hours fighting before the flames
are subdued.

i. Sues Nebraska Governor.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 9.-Attorney
General Thompson Friday began suit
in the supreme court against Cover
nor Sheldon to collect, on behalf OF
the state of Nebraska, 800 house rent
for use of the executive mansion for
the month of January. The suit Is
begun at Governor Sheldon's request
to settle the question of the validity
of a law passed fourteen years ago
providing an official residence for the
governor. The law Is seemingly In
violation of the constitution, which
SAYS the governor shall accept no en-
oluments other than his salary. -Four
preceding governors have occupied
the mansion without the question be-
ing raised.

Madison Square roof garden tragedy
He based this opinion on the mans az
tions on the roof garden and the fact
that he had witnessed an act by Thaw
in a Pittsburg street car which i'm
pressed him with the belief that the
Young man was not of sound mental
ity.
District Attorney Jerome put the
witness through the most severe
cross examination ever heard in a
New York court room. The prose-
cutting attorney seemed to have every
medical authority at his finger tips.
The care with which he had prepared
to meet Thaw's plea of insanity was
evident in his every question and at
times the witness hesitated in his
answers as if completely baffled.
New York, Feb 7.-Stanford White,
displaying pistol, threatened to take
the life of Harry X. Thaw. according
to the evidence of witness intro
duced by the defense Wednesday.
White had called at the Garden
tnedleT, Wnere ENSiyh NSSDS w"
playing on Christmas eve, 1908, and,
after he had been told the young
lady had gone away with Thaw'
White was heard to remark: I'll
find and kill that before
daylight"
This testimony was offered by
Benjamin Boman. who was the stage
doorkeeper at the time of the iuci-
dent. Mr.. Jerome conducted a
searching cross examination, but the
witness held to his original story in
every detail. He ANSWERED with an
emphatic mo" when asked If he had
received any compensation from
Thaw's attorneys.

WOULD REPEAL IT.
A Bill Has Been Introduced in Con-
gress to Deprive Oklahoma
of Statehood.
AVERY STRONG INDICTMENT
The Act Recites that the Convention
Has BY Its Acts Demonstrated
Its Unfitness to Frame
Constitution.

Washington, Feb. 9-Representa-
tive, Murphy of Missouri introduced a
bill Thursday to repeal the act adj
hitting Oklahoma to statehood, on
the ground that the constitutional.
convention of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory has failed to comply with
the conditions of the joint statehood
act.
Mr.. Murphys bill follows:
Whereas, the constitutional con-
vention of the proposed state OF OKLA
homa now in session at Guthrie, Okla,
failed and refused after organization to
declare, on behalf of the people OF
said proposed state, to adopt the con-
stitution of the United States as re-
quired by the act of Congress. and,
Whereas, by such failure, the said
convention is unauthorized to form
constitution and state government for
said proposed state; and,
Whereas. said constitution conven-
ton is attempting to evade the act OF
Congress by making a distinction IN
civil and political rights on account
OF race and color; and,
Whereas, said convention has
squandered the peoples money appro-
rriated by Congress in unnecessary
political chickering's, thereby leaving
no fund to hold an election for the
ratification or rejection Of the propos'
ed constitution; and,
whereas, the said convention has
wholly disregarded and ignored the
discussing officer of the government
as provided by Congress; and,
whereas, the said convention has
demonstrated its unfitness and inca
pacity to frame a constitution for said
proposed state; therefore be 1t en-
acted,
"That the act entitled An Act to En-
able the People of Oklahoma and of
the Indian Territory to Form a State
Government ETC., approved June 16,
1906, and the same is hereby re-
pealed.'

To Block santo Domingo Treaty.

Washington, Feb 8.-Democratic
senate leaders decided Thursday that
the republican senators must take
the entire responsibility if treaty
with Santo Domingo continuing the
present financial relations is ratified.
This means that as long as the minor
ity is strong enough to prevent ratifi-
cation it will stand together, which
would necessitate the calling of a
special session of the senate after
March 4, when the republicans will
have the necessary two thirds of the
senate.

New York, Feb. S.-Evelyn NesDlt-
Thaw told her story Thursday. 10
save the life of her husband, charged
with murder, she barred to the world
the innermost secrets of her soul. 1t
was the same story she told Harry
Thaw in Paris in 1908, when he had
asked her to become his wife-the
confession of one who felt there was
an insurmountable barrier to her ever
becoming the bride of the man She
loved.
In the big witness chair she appear
ed but slip of girl and she told
the pitiful story of her eventfui young
life in frank, girlish way When
tears came unbidden to her big brown
eyes and slowly trickIed their way
down scarlet cheeks, she strove in
vain to keep them back. She forced
the words from trembling lips and by
marvellous display of courage, which
took her willingly to her staggering
ordeal, she shook off depression
absolute collapse.
AS the young wife unfolded the mar
rative of her girlhood and told the
early struggles of her self and her
mother to keep body and soul togeth-
er; of how gaunt poverty stood ever
at the door, and how she finally was
able to earn livelihood by posing for
photographers and artists, she won
the murmured sympathy of the throng
which filled every available space in
the courtroom.
Then came the relation of the wrecf
of that girlhoou at IL years of age.
1t was the story of her meeting
with Stanford White the story of the
sumptuous studio apartment, whose
dingy exterior gave no hint of tht
luxurious furnishings within; of "a
velvet covered swing in which one
could swing until slippered toes
crashed through the paper of Jap
anese parsol swung from the ceiling;
the story of glass OF champagne, oil
black, whirling sensations, and of
mirrored bedroom walls. In short,
she told all the story.
New York, Feb. 9.-Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw continued on the witness
stand in Fridays session of her nus
bands trial. Her story began with
the period Immediately following her
return from Europe in October, 1903,
and was brought down to the return
of the girl and her husband to New
York after their honeymoon trip in
1905. when she said Stanford White
had called to her on the street and
attempted to speak to her.
Mrs. Thaw declared that Harry
Thaw had accused her once of hav-
ing had improper relations with Stan
ford White after her return to the
United States. but she had told him
it is lie; | have not"
She said Stanford White had tried
to kiss her and had begged her to
come to see him alone, but she would
not. He had then visited her on pre-
text that it was a matter of life and
death and had conspired with Abe
Hummel, the lawyer, TO procure her
assistance in keeping Harry Thaw out
of New York, and away from her.
Mrs. Thaw also told of her friendly
relations with Jack Barrymore and
! said he once proposed to marry her.
