THAW'S FRIENDS

SURPRISE SPRUNG IN BANK
RUPTCY CASE
Governor Stone Declares Evelyn VIII
Be Taken Care of and That
Her Income viii Not
Stop
Rv AsaocIated Press.

By Associated Press
PITTSBURG, Aug. S.--Possibly the
most important development today in
the bankruptcy case of Harry K. Thaw
and one that indiotes better than any
thing else the plans of Thaw's counsel,
was the declaration by former Governor
w. A. Stone, local counsel for the liti-
giant, that he is proceeding on the as
sumption that Thaw is sane now and
that the verdict that cleared him of the
murder of Stanford White on the
ground of insanity referred only to his
mental condition at the time the crime
was committed.
1t is said Thaw's friends seek to have
him brought here within sixty days,
when they will ask that he be declared
sane. Such an action would not in
validate his commitment to Matteawah.
but would, it is believed, have great
moral effect on the New York courts.
Referee in Bankruptcy William r.
Blair today notified Thaw to appear
here August 21 to be adjudged bank
rupt. The appearance will be entered
by his counsel, former Governor Stone
and Thaw will be kept in Poughkeepsie
until later developments necessitate his
presence here.
1t is said Thaw must attend at least
one meeting of his creditors
Governor Stone today denied the
statements attributed to him that the
bankruptcy proceedings would be a
great blow to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and
would shut off her demands. Mr.. Stone
said Mrs. Harry K. Thaw could not be
considered as 81 preferred creditor, but
that her income would not be impaired.
He further stated the proceedings would
safeguard Harry K. Thaw's income
from the Thaw estate, as all that is
available under the law is his personal
estate.
A close friend of the Thaw family,
who is in a position to know, today
said the income of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
would not be affected by the bank
ruptcy proceedings. According to the
information after the first trial a trust
fund was created for young Mrs. Thaw
from which she derives an income of
about $4,000 a year. This fund was
created by Mrs. Mary G. Thaw, Harry's
mother, and for this reason cannot be
considered as an asset of Harry K.
Thaw.

! F. A. Huntley, has just returned from a
tour of Eastern Washington in the in
forests Of the inspection service of his
department and other matters per-
tanning to horticulture and states that
the plans of his department ard the
exposition commissioners to feature
l orticulture next year are meeting with
enthusia site support.
zone of the objects of my trip to the
eastern part Of the state was to work
Up interest in securing horticultural
exhibits for the Alaska Yukon Pacific, y
said M. Huntlcy, yesterday. Fruit
growers generally are heartily in favor
of having horticultural industries of the
state fairly represented at the big ex-
position and every community will lend
its support to having it's respective
locality favOrably represented. Some of
the counties have already taken steps
to arrange county exhibits and indi
vidual fruit growers are showing deep
interest in the arrangement of displays
of the products of their own proper
ties
Mr.. Huntley states that the depart
ment OF horticulture will render every
assistance in the furtherance of an
elaborate exhibit and Indications are
that horticulture will be one of the
most instructive features of the fair.
Bumper Fruit Crop Assured.
General prospects of a bumper fruit
crop in all parts of the state could not
be more favorable, says Mr.. Huntley.
Regarding an inquiry, as to the
amount Of damage done to tender buds
AMI shoots by the recent heavy frosts
the commissioner said:
The recent cold spell, which was at
tended by frost in many localities,
caused some damage. though probably
less than the average up to this time Of
the year. In the vicinity of Charleston,
: where frosts have been very damag-
ing to the fruit crop almost every year
the PEOPLE have this year succeeded in
saving practically everything by con-
ce-ted action in building Smudges.
Tney have demonstrated that smudging
is practicable. as never nave there
been such fattering prospects for a
fruit crop as the conditions at present
Indicate Frosts have done some dam
age in the Palouse country in a very
few localities unfavorably situated.
Around Dayton, in Columbia county,
there were never such prospects of
good fruit year as now. Frost damaged
the early peaches to a limited extent at
Kennewick but on the whole, the fruit
crop is promising.
