STATE COLLEGE At
CORN EXPOSITION
Omaha, Neb., Sends to Pullman for Fine Ex-
hibit for National Corn
Show

Pullman and Washington State
College will get some valuable adver-
tising at the National Corn EXposi-
tion which will be held at Omaha
Nebraska, two weeks in December
beginning on the sixth and closing
on the 18th of that month. The fine
exhibit Of Washington State College
now on exhibition at Seattle in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS exposition is to
be transported bodily to Omaha and
exhibited there.
A representative of the National
Corn Exposition has been at Seattle
inspecting the exhibits there and Sc
lecting some of the best for the big
show at Omaha, and he was so deeply
impressed with the exhibit Of Wash
ington State College that he offered
to pay the transportation charges
both ways, and to pay the salary and
expenses of a man to go with the ex-
hibit and explain it to the thousands
of people who will visit the big cereal
show at Omaha.
The offer has been accepted and the
entire exhibit which will fill several
cars, is to be transported to Omaha
and placed on exhibition there 1t is
not definitely decided who will ac-
company the exhibit, but Professor
Thatcher plans to spend little time
there as Nebraska is his old home
and he has a wide acquaintance in
that state and will be able to do lot
of missionary work for Pullman, the
northwest and for the college. w
d. Foster may be selected as the man
to go with the exhibit and he will be
a good one for that purpose and will
be able to show up the good points
of the exhibit
This will be a great opportunity
to show the east and middle west
what the greatest educational insti-
tuition in Washington is accom- plish-
ing. The fame of the college has

PROGRESS OF HARVEST
Ideal Weather Conditions Favorable
to Saving Immense Crop of
Grain

Splendid progress has been made
in the harvest fields since the last
issue of The Herald. Thousands of
acres of grain has been cut with bind
ers and is now in the shock waiting
tthreshing machines, of which many
are now at work. Combines are
making good headway and the set
ting of the sun each day witnesses
the saving of tens of thousands of
bushels of golden grain which has
been cut and threshed by these big
machines. No accidents have been
reported in the vicinity of Pullman,
but many smut explosions have oc-
Cured in other localities and a
large number of threshers and much
grain have been destroyed.
Wheat in the vicinity of Pullman
is yielding we'll The quality is eX-
cellent. The heaviest yields report
ed have been of college hybrid and
some of these are simply astonish-
ing. W, d. Henry reports yield of
80 bushels per acre on AZ acres of
college hybrid on the farm of William
Walker near Whelan. John Aletsk-
er had 21l0 sacks of wheat from 95
acres of college hybrid numbers 1913
and 1913, on his farm three miles east
of town. This wheat tested 60
pounds to the bushel, being the
heaviest brought to Pullman this
season and weighs 140 pounds to
the sack This gives a total or 1929
bushels from the 95 acres, an aver
age of 51.S bushels per acre.
Some wheat was lost through fall
ing down during the rain, and the
thresher started the seasons run on
Mr.. Metsker's farm, and as things
did not work well at first, slow pro-
gress was made. The thresher was
at Mr. Metskers place five days, in
cluding Sunday, and 80 head of
horses were fed on this wheat dur
ing that time. Il would like to
know how much there was actually
grown in the field and what the yield
would have been had there been no
loss from falling down and had not
the thresher teams used up so much
of it" said Mr. Nretsker. This
wheat is of the two leading hybrids
of the college, mixed together. Mr..
Metsker did not have enough of
either variety and sowed the two
numbers together. There seems to
be no difference in the two wheats
except that 1913 is red and 12S is
white. AS they are mixed the en-
tire lot will go as red wheat
Stanley Newell reports a yield of
200 bushels from AZ acres, which
is just so bushels to the acre. This
wheat was grown on Mr.. Newell's
farm between Whelan and Fallons
Part of it was college hybrid and
part was forty-fold. There was 49
acres in the field, but seven acres
were cut out for hay, that amount
being knocked down by the heavy
rains. This left AZ acres to be cut
for grain. The wheat is of fine quail
ity.
1t will be month yet before har-
vest is over in this vicinity, There
is large acreage and the wheat, as
rule is heavy. Where it has been
cut with a binder the shocks stand
unusually thick on the ground, and
heavy heads. With the warm wealth
er now prevailing all machines are
making good headway and it is hop
ed the harvest will be finished with
out more rain.

White Plains, n. Y, July 16.-Mrs
EVELYN Nesbit Thaw went on the
stand here yesterday and gave damag-
ing testimony against her husband,
Harry Thaw. 1t was the strongest
point scored so far by the state IN Its
fight TO keep Thaw in the asylum for
he criminal insane at Matteawan. He
demands his release through habeas
corpus procedure on the ground that
ne is a sane man.
Mrs. Thaw was asked if her hus-
band threatened her life. She turned
appealingly TO Justice Mills. She
begged to be allowed not to answer
because she said she knew she would
incur his everlasting animosity: and
her attitude indicated that she be-
lieved he might carry out his alleged
threat. She also urged, with some
show of feeling, that she was still
Thaw's wife and no matter how he
had treated her, she did not want to
testify against him. But the court
ruled that the only possible grounds
upon which she could decline to an
swer were that it would tend to in
eliminate her. and he added he did
not see how that would be applicable
to her situation.
Then Evelyn Thaw answered the

PRIsE-UNIoNIsTs AND Po-
LICE AT WAR.
SEVERAL TESTIFY THEY SAW DE-
PENDANT AT TIME AND
PLACE OF EXPLOSION.

Chicago, July 16.-The holding of
Vincent. A. Altman, assistant business
agent of the carpenters union, to the
grand jury on charge of placing the
bomb which damaged the telephone
company building in the downtown
district on the night of June 27, caused
a sensation.
arrest a week, the strength of the po-
lice evidence against him has been
carefully guarded. Altman's friends
in the labor union freely predicted it
was a ''bluff'' and that he would be re-
leased. The action yesterday promis-
es a bitter war between the unions
and the police force, a war that al
ready has opened. The carpenters
have put into the field volunteer de-
tectice force, and charges have been
made that the police are afraid to ar
rest the real bomb thrower, who is
said to be in possession of information
that the police have protected gamb-
ling in this city for years.
States Attorney Wayman appeared
in person to prosecute Altman before
Judge McSurly. He was backed by
Acting Chief of Police Schuettler and
Acting Assistant Chief LAWN, who is
in charge of the case, and Captain
O'Brien of the detective bureau.
Gustav Simons, an employee of the
telephone company, testified that on
the night of June 27, he had occasion
to go into the alley where the bomb
was placed.
II noticed Altman standing at the
mouth of the alley he said. HE
was looking into the alley. saw him
at $50, and again at 1890, and when
went through two hours later he
was standing as before
James w. Eliker, clerk for the Du
Pont De Nomours Powder company,
identified Altman as the man who
under the name of Frank Smith, had
bought 200 feet of fuse from him two
months ago.
Nathan Wilkus, fireman for the John
R. Thompson restaurant, which opens
into the alley where the explosion oc-
Cured, identified Altman as the man
whom he saw enter the alley with a
small satchel a few minutes before
the explosion. He said he was sit
ting in the alley when Altman came
through-once, at $50 o'clock and
again at 1890.
