THAW NOT BROKE"
BELIEF OF FRIENDS
CONTINUED from Second Page.)

Thaws income from $4,000 20 0O00
will be absolutely guarded from all de-
mands, continued Mr.. Stone. AL that ia
available under the law is the personal
estate.
Part OF the plan of the Thaw attorneys
appears to be to bring Harry Thaw into
Pittsburg, and II possible hold hiE
here. It was announced today that there
would be a hearing in the case August
q. and it is hoped that Thaw may be
brought here then. According 10 the
bankruptcy law, Thaw viii be Obliged
to attend a meeting OF his creditors be-
fore the referee and be examined by
them before he can be discharged as a
bankrupt.
The question OF Thaws sanity prob
ably will be carried into the Federal
court here as a result of the bankruptcy
petition. The law provides specifically
that a person, must be sane at the time
OF the filing of a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy. Leading authorities on
bankruptcy law declare that it is ex-
treraeIy doubtful whether a person &C
tualIy insane can be adjudged a bank
rupt.
Some Of the creditors named by Thaw
today started move TO have the bank
ruptcy move set aside on the grounds
that he Is insane, hence cannot apply
legally to become a bankrupt
Thaw Robbed, Says 0'Msrs.
Detective Roger O'Mara. appointed re-
ceiver in bankruptcy for Thaw, today
had a long consultation with former
| Governor Stone. after which he made
a sensational attack on Thaw's cred
itors.
Il don't know much about receiver
ship business. but I find it won't be
very much different from what I al
ways did. The job now is TO get after
lot OF buneo men. and I used to be
pretty good IN that line.
Harry K. Thaw flied his petition IN
bankruptcy so that every man who
has a legitimate claim against him ca
be paid. There are a lot Of grafters
and petty thieves who have been rob-
| bing Thaw, and who are trying to
gouge more money out OF him, but they
viii have 20 show me.
"Since Thaw was arrested he has
spent half a million dollars. He has
| overpaid a great many people who were
working for him. Others got a lot OF
money for doing nothing II looks as
though every man who could butt into
the case did so. for the sole purpose Of
making fortune out OF the one job"

$4,000 has been set aside this year to
meet general extraordinary expenses, %
by which is meant the suppression of
uprisings and revolutions. Under the
old regime, when the annual estimated
income was $2,500,OOO, not less than
100000 was required for that purpose.
And yet, in spite Of the progress and
improvements now being made, there
are many who believe that Santo Do
mingo viii never be successfully gov
erned by its own people until its own
people have been practically submerged
by a tide of intelligent, cold blooded
hard working immigrants.

EnuSImenIS increase.
An indirect result attributable to the
world cruise OF the Atlantic feet. is
seen by the Navy Department in the
increase OF recruits to the service. Last
week alone 473 new enlistments were
announced. ard the record for the past
several months. period for period. ex-
ceeds anything in the history of the
department. The Philadelphia recruit

clerical assistance, and from all over the
country come reports from officers re-

While ii is thought by naval officers
that this impetus OF enlistment is due
IN a large measure TO the active cam
paign which the Bureau OF Navigation
has been carrying on for a number of

up-to-date advertising methods, still
cruise OF the Atlantic fleet has had an

prices, and done well by the transae-
tions. Lewis Nixon is a wealthy ship
builder, who might possibly have stand
ing with people concerned about ship
subsidy. Senator Newlands is one OF
the wealthiest men in the Senate. Tom
L. Johnson made his fortune out of pro-
tected iron industry, and proudly pro-
claimed the fact, while assuring the
country that it ought to have had more
sense than to gise him the chance.
Pettigrew left the Senate poor man,
and has made a fortune or two, chiefly
in Wall Street, it is understood. And
so on. The list is most interesting.
That these men are wealthy is no
argument against their serving on the
campaign committee. But with such a
committee out for the sinews, there
would seem to be some buncombe about
the Democrats claiming that there is no
wealth on their side, and likewise some
nonsense about the Republicans insist.

much in earnest about it. Neither the
wealth nor the big business nor the
solid interests are all on one side this
year.

During the past few days." said
John A. Gellatly, Il have gone over
the valley very carefully from NAL
aga and Stemilt clear up to Peshas-
tin, and it is marveI TO one who is
now keeping posted as to conditions.
We estimate our fruit crop of this
season at about $1,0OO,O0O, and
there is not one acre in bearing now
where there will be ten in four years
time. Just think what this means
to the valley. A ride will show that
there is comparatively but little of
our tributary land bearing, not one
in ten that is already set in orchard,
and yet what we have will bring
us in million dollars this year.
Malaga and Stemilt have made
wonderful progress this year. Many
acres have been plOwed up and set
out to trees. These will be in bear
ing in few years. Wheeler Hill,
the Squillchuck, Hardscrabble, in
fact, all of the country south and
west has changed wonderfully. The
drive up the Wenatchee river should
be made by those who are the least
bit skeptical on the growth of the

pect crops from them in the course
of four or five years. Cashmere and
Peshastin all indicate that they are
going to be solid orchard sections.
ct is wonderful when one COM
mences to think what this all means.
The travelling men who come here
say this is one of the most prosper
Gus sections of the state. The busi-
ness men all have money and are
doing good business. The citizens
generally are we'll fixed financially.
Thi is the result primarily of the
million dollar fruit crop. Think
what this means in four or five
years when we have ten times as
big a crop as at present. Don't you
think that $1O,O0O,O0O crop
should make big city of Wenatchee?

prosperity. In this kind of opportu-
nifty, where honest toll and earnest
endeavor to go unrequited, it is we'll
that We, at this season, should pause
in our individual exertions for ma
terial betterment and consider the
many blessings that have been con-
ferred upon us.
Now, therefore, I, Albert Mead,
governor of the state of Washington,
in conformity with the proclamation
of the president of the United States

PRESENT BUILDING INSUFFI-
GENT FOR BUSINESSMEN
ADDITION BEING BCILT.-NEW
TYPE, PRESSES AND MATER
IAL.

The phenomenal growth of the
Daily World has necessitated addi-
tfonal room, presses, type and other
material. The business has out
grown all the present facilities.
Kimmel, the builder, started work
today on concrete addition to the
force of men is to be employed,
aniSthis will be rushed to compile
ton just as rapidly as possible, so
that the building will be in readi-
ness for the new equipment that has
been ordered.
A modern press has been ordered,
one that is capable of handling the
big editions of the Daily World, and
also adapted to the handling of first
class job work. There is great deal
of the best kind of job work that of
necessity has to be sent out to Spo
kane ana Seattle on account of the
Offices of this city not being in posi-
ton to handle it, The World pro-
poses to be in shape to take care of
all kinds Of the best grades of job
work, and not only has large news
paper press been ordered, but new
job presses will be installed. This
with new type and other equipment,
which has been ordered, will make
the Daily World one of the best
equipped newspaper offices in the
state.
Not only will the Office be equip
ped with new material, but there are
other features which will be added
to the improvement of the paper.
The United Press telegraphic service
has been received in limited quanti-
ties for some time, but this is to be
increased, and it is to be the purpose
of the management of the paper to
make the Daily World so valuable
that it will not be necessary for the
citizens of this city and valley to re-
quire any other daily paper.
The World is gaining rapidly in
popularity, and people are beginning
to be educated to the fact that they
want todays news today, not a week

APPLES HIGH FOR
THANKSGIVING
STORING FRUIT
PRICES RANGE FROM $1.5O TO
1925 FOR FANCY EASTERN
WASHINGTON PRODUCT.

/ Seattle Dealers say that apple
prices will be high this year at the
Thanksgiving season. Some of the
fancy 31a and 4 tier Spitzenbergs
have sold as high as 1925 per box
wholesale for several days. The high
prices are due to the farmers holding
their apples in storage hoping to get
a still higher market. Dealers say
that fancy apples are bringing the
best prices this fall of any season in
recent years, and that as the crop is
fair in Washington this year there is
no reason to expect better prices
later. All fancy Eastern Washing
ton fruit is bringing from $125 up
at present, with Spitzenbergs, Jona-
thans, Winesaps and Yellow New
tons quoted higher.
The steady rise in the price of ap-
plies for the past two or three weeks
is very gratifying.to the fruit grow
ers in Chelan county, and will mean
much toward the Fastening of the
development of much of the arid
lands that awaits the irrigation ditch
to make it produce the famous fruit
of.this valley.
Early in the season the general
apathy in the apple market was very
noticeable, and a great many grow
ers disposed of the most of their
crop at whatever prices they could
get. 1t was generally understood
that the buyers were holding off in a
combine to see what they could do
in the way of securing the much de-
sired fruit at low prices

SCHOOL BOARD HAVE CALLED
SPECIAL ELECTION TO BOND
SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SECURE
NEW BUILDINGS.

The members of the Wenatchee
school board had melting yesterday
and it was decided to call a special
election to authorize the bonding of
the school district for $4,000. The
date of the election will be an
nounced in few days. The board
deem that it will take this amount to
equip the district with new build
ings. The $4,000, if authorized,
will be used as follows:
New high school building. s55 900
Additional sum for site, $1,000.
South end building, $4,000.
The board want a modern build
ing for the new high school building,
nothing fancy, but a distinctive type
of architecture, something that will
be a credit to the city. The district
now owns high school site in Grand
View addition, but this is now deem
ed too small, and the plan is to sell
this site, and with $4,000 larger
tract of ground, just as convenient
ly located, can be secured.
