authorities to refuse a license unless
men only are employed. The barmaid

herself, but by a large majority Of the
patrons Of public houses. The literature
and miscellany of Eugland contain many
references TO the barmaid, and ODDLY

TIE LOWER house Of tho Texas leg
islature last night, as had previously the
Senate of that State, exouerated Senator
Joseph W. Bailey of the charges recent
~ made against him concerning alleged
questionable relations with representa-
tiyes Of the Standard Oil Company. The
many friends Of Senator Bailey who
never hsye believed that gentleman,
statesman as he is, would have DELHI
erately and knowingly placed himself
under obligation to a rapaciORs corpora
ton which be had antagoni2ed, rejoice
with him in his vindication. A man OF
nstural-born aagacity, experience and
observation, after having attained the
political position of the Senator would
certainly not have knowingly Regarded
them BY any questionable relations with
a concern which doubtless have others
in representative positions under their
thumbs. But an imputation once cast
upon the mi sgrity Of a public man is
hard to eftace, az 50 many people pre-
fer 10 believe the worst in connection
with such aspersions. But the majority
Of the people Of Texas believe that Mr.
Bailey is innocent. He is their Senator
and that should end the matter, but the
unfortunate affair Notwithstanding has
east shadow which will probably foil
low the great Texan throughout lie.

asylum.
Information tending to prove that
EVELYN Nesbit became the wife of Harry
x. Thaw previous to her relating to him

ford White is now 10 the possession OF
District Attorney Jerome, according to
sensational story published today.
The marriage was performed, accord
ing to the latest story, during the first
visit OF the couple to Paris in 1908.
The information is said to have
reached the District Attorney through
Mia Harrington, an actress, who is said
to have written friend in New York,
telling OF the marriage of Thsw and
Evelyn. In this letter, Miss Harrington
declared that Thaw was denying the
marriage in the hope that he might re-
turn to America and secure the forgive
ness of his family before the news be-
came public.
Or. Evans was called as the first wit
ness.
Jerome and DR.. Evans locked horns
almost as soon as the examination be-
gan. Jerome tried to force DR.. Evans
to give yes or no answers to certain ques-
lions, and this the witness declined 10
do. Again and again the same ques-
tons were again repeated and Dr. Evans
parted them with evasive answers.
After long and tedious examination
OF DR.. Evans the court took recess un'
al 2:15 o'clock. When court reconyened
the doctor Was recalled.

"GREEA BUG" CAUSES
STRONG WHEAT MARKET
Prices Advance Steadily All
Day on Reports of Damage
to Crops.

CHICAGO. April 5.-Wheat advanced
more than 1c per bushel today because
OF reports Of damage by the green
bug" At the close wheat for May de-
livery was up ls@15c. Corn was up &c.
Oats were 5G5c higher, Provisions were
up 507Sc.
The damage reports came from all
parts of the Southwest but the most
sensational dispatches were received
from Oklahoma and Missouri A local
crop expert who Is now in Oklahoma re-
ported today that the wheat crop in that
State has been seriously injured during
the last three weeks. and much OF the
urgent demand that existed in today s
market was based on his report. The
absence Of rain In Kansas and Nebraska,
where II Is said TO be greatly needed,
also stimulated the demand.
Commission houses and shorts were
the best buyers. and the selling was
chiefly by longs. Prices advanced stead
lily all day, and the market closed strong
and near TO the high point. May wheat
opened unchanged 10 &c lower at 75sc to
7bSc. sold between 75Ac and 77lc. and
closed at 77077ic.
Corn was in active demand by COM
day and the market was strong. The
sharp advance in wheat, small local re-
ceipts and an increased demand for cash
grain were the principal reasons for the
strength. The market closed strong.
May corn opened n shade to &c higher.
at 4bs@4otc to 455c, advanced TO 46sc
and closed at the top.
