ported break IN the relations between

THE reports that lave been printed to
the effect that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
has been Swallowed for evidence In a d.
vorce proceedings are without truth.
Mrs. William Thaw is inclined to be
fair and just with her sons wife. In so
far as / am concerned as counsel for the

Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw desires
separation from her husband and her hus.
band hopes that there will be a r%econcilia.

New York, March 13.-The first legal
step was taken today by counsel for
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in her contem-
plated action to secure the annulment
of her marriage to Harry X. Thaw.
Daniel O'Reilly. the wife's counsel
said he has sent a clerk to the Mattea-
wan asylum to serve the papers in the
case upon Thaw, n that he has also
sent papers to be served ON ThaW's
mother. He said:
Legally speaking. Harry Thaw is
dead, so 1t Is necessary to have for de-
PENDANT his next Of kin. The mother
will not try to make any trouble for US.
She Is very kindly disposed toward our
case and is sympathetic with the atti-
u young Mrs. Thaw has taken. We
do not believe WI will experience any
difficulty in procuring a decision in our
favor"
Nothing has been done in regard to
settlement" said O'Reilly. 1.-THE re-
ported figures, Il lump sum of $50, 900
and an annual allowance of SIS. zoe. are
all guess work."
According to A. Russell Peabody,
Thaw's counsel. Thaw will oppose an
nullment with every means at his com
inand and will contest the allegation
hat he was insane at the time Of his
marriage.
1t was stated today that Mrs. Thaw
is prepared to testify in her own be-
half in this action. but II her testi-
mony should be useful in securing
Thaw's release from the insane asylum
she is prepared to give evidence in his
favor.
1t is reported today that members
OF Thaw's family strongly favor the
move to annul the marriage that II it
be successful, Evelyn will be provided
for financially.
Although counsel for Thaw and his
wife announce the action is about to
begin neither would disclose the cause
of difference between the two, but it
was stated that the trouble began a
year ago during Thaw's first trial
and that reconciliation was impossible,

AGRICULTURE SAVED
DAY IN DEPRESSION
Receipts Of Grain and Live Stock
Have Been Breaking Rec
ords Right Along.

Washington. March l2.-The remarkable
extent TO which agricultural resources
have come to the front and sustained the
business of the country during the recent
period of depression is indicated by the
reports of the bureau of statistics. These
reports show that for January of this
year:
l.tN" stock receipts at the great interior
primary markets were larger than for the
same month "A year ago. The increase,
In fact. was almost 20 per cent, which Is
remarkable.
Grain receipts for January, 1908, were
larger than for the same month of the
preceding year.
Live stock receipts at the four principal
Atlantic coast cities where marketing is
done were about 20 per cent larger than
FOR tho same month of the preceding year.
The figures on car service of the rail
roads bear out the same I'm
the Philadelphia and .Pittsburg cur dis
tricts the largest decreases in car move
inents arc reported. In the regions where
the agricultural products are moved there
was the nearest a normal movement
Moreover, the secondary products OF ngri-
culture-packing house products, meats
Hour, ctc.-showed Il comparatively slight
loss in volume for the recent January as
compared Will the same month of the pre-
Ceding year; Il loss much less than that
sustained in iron. lumber. cotton manu-
features and other lines of business COM
parable. In short. 1t appears thai food
stunts constituted the one line of business
which showed an increase in volume of
traffic. AS a result the railroads In the
food producing regions made the best
showings, banking operations were soon
est on the way to the normal. and, in gen
eral, the return OF natural conditions has
been most rapid.
In other lines of enterprise the influence
Of the revived prosperity in the agricul-'
tural districts Is being felt. and the out
look is for cheerful improvement all along
the line.

Albert E. Mead
For Governor


representatives have any is it not due to the fact that
Albert E. Mead would not their collar after ne
elected and naugurated governor OF the state OF
Washington Has he not given the voters OF the
state all of the reform legislation that they demand
ed and naturally expected to get if Henry Mcbride
had been nominated and elected instead of Mead?
If to this you answer yes, and you cannot answer
otherwise, then why do you desire to attempt the
dangerous feat of swapping horses in the middle OF
the stream? When Henry g. Mcbride was COVER
nor of the state of Washington it is fact that ne
tried to get the legislature to pass some OF the meas
ures that Gov Mead succeeded in having passed. but
is it recorded that he would continue along those
lines if he should again be elected to the governor
ship of the state? Is it not strange that the railroad
representatives who bitterly opposed to Mead on
account of him permitting, what they are pleased TO
term hostile legislation to the railroad interest to
become laws, should be unit in their support OF
Mcbride? Of course Mcbride cannot prevent any
one from supporting him for governor, but 1t does
look as though there niger IN the Woodplie
when each and every OF the railroad push IN tnlS
state are out enthusiastically supporting Mcbride
The voters should have their mlSgvlngS OF support
ing any man that the railroad representatives are
unanimously lined up for as it means no good Tor the
voters In takidg control of the Mead campaign IN
King county Councilman Revelle told by friend
that 1T would cost him much of his personal as well
as political popularity as Mead is very unpopular IN
King county, (no part of which is true) but to this
Mr. Revelle replied Point to me one act OF Mead
as governor of this state that you yourself do not ap
prove off, point out to thing he has done that
in anv way compromises the best interests OF the
state: point out to me one instance where he has
gone against the best interest OF the people, ana
will retire from the duties that have undertaken.
There was no answer and that self same man is now
assisting Mr. Revelle to carry King county Tor Al
bert E. Mead And be it said to the credit OF Mr..
Revee and those assisting in his undertaking, their
efforts are already bearing fruit.
