lower Meanwhile James A. Patten,
who is reported to be long 100000
bushels, told the bears to buy their
wheat in the pit. His advice was fol-
lowed and the market doomed.
Leading warehousemen and the pro-
fessional traders are the principal
shorts. The elevator men weeks ago
bought wheat in the fields of Kansas,
Oklahoma, and other winter-wheat
states. They hedged against their
country purchases by selling July in
this market: Heavy rains prevented
threshing operations and consequent
delivery to. Chicago buyers. Today
another storm was reported central
over Kansas.
Patten is thought to own nearly all
the cash wheat in Chicago. He sue

livered to him in May. when wheat
ran up to $1.32. He now demands the
wheat sold to him for the present
months delivery, and when the shorts
went to him early In the day with
offers to settle, they were told to buy
their short wheat in the open market.
Spectacular scenes were presented

SEEK TALE OF THREAT
FROM WIFE OF THAW
States Lawyers Will Seek to Show
That the Conversation Was
Not Privileged.

White Plains, N. Y, July 15.-The
promised temperance of Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw as witness for the state
served to fill the supreme courtroom
long before the resumption of the in
Quiry into Harry X. Thaw's mental
condition before Justice Mills. When
court opened Thaw's attorneys took
up the thread of their case, which had
been interrupted by the testimony Of
the plaintiffs wife, and offered add,
tional testimony along the lines of
that given by previous lay witnesses
who had expressed their belief in
Thaw's sanity.
The states representatives declared
that they had found good legal proof,
by studying the case over night, to
show that the conversation between
Thaw and his wife at Matteawan asy-
lum, in which the state contends he
threatened to kill her, was not priv.
ileged. Justice Mills had ruled that
II this was Satisfactorily shown by
the state, he would instruct Mrs.
Thaw to answer Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Clark's questions in regard to the
threat, which were blocked by the OBJ
jections of Thaw's counsel that the
conversation was confidential and
privileged.
Mrs. Thaw was recalled at the aft
ernoon session. Later Justice Miller
adjourned court until Monday in or
der to allow Drs. Flint and Mcdonald,
the states alienists, to make a phys
ical examination of Thaw in the White
Plains jail.
Daniel O'Reilly, formerly counsel
for Harry Thaw and later personal
counsel for his wife, Evelyn, was sub.
punned by the state. Deputy Attorney
Clark said the state would submit a
brief on the subject of the contested
confidential conversation between
Thaw and his wife, contending that
OReilly, who was present at the time,
was not then acting as counsel for
both parties, and therefore the con.
versation was rendered unplivileged.
II Justice Mills should rule against
the state, O'Reilly will be called and
examined on this point by Mr. Clark,
and the way cleared, If possible, for
the resumption Of Evelyn Nesbit

District Attoerny Mack in cross-ex.
aiming witnesses has been careful to
ask If the witnesses had ever talked
with Thaw about the killing Of Stan.
ford White or the running of young
girls. Invariably the witnesses had
considered that "a delicate subject"
and it had mot been approached" 1t
is the states theory that one of tho
essential characteristics Of paranoea, of
which Thaw has been declared to be
suffering, is that the patient may only
exhibit pronounced insanity when the
orc subject which was the cause of
the mental disarrangement is brought
to his mind.

Boundary Line Plan Favored.
! To bring the rulers together on the
boundary line is the plan which now
has favor in diplomatic and state cir.
cles. .-.
While the general idea Of the plan
Of meeting may appear. to be spectac-
ular, It, will prove none the less i'm
portant, in that 1t is calculated to- &C.
complish a long-desired political re-
suit. It will doubtless bring the, peo-
pie Of the two nations into much more
harmonious. friendly and sympathetic
relations.
During past American administra-
tons the suggestion for such meet
Ing has come from Mexico but in this
instance it originated with President
Taft. Scarcely had he taken up the
duties Of his office when he began to
outline, in 3 general way, plans for
extensive travelling during the four
years for which he was elected presi-
dent.
10000 May View Meeting.
The vehicle and electric railway
bridge between Ell Paso and Jaurez is
about mile long and unusually wide.
In the center of the bridge, a great
stand may be erected reaching far
out on either side. Such a stand may
be made to accommodate gathering
OF 10000 people, it is estimated The
cost of construction, of course, would
be divided between the two govern
ments. az:
Following this, such conference as
might be desired by them could be
held in private, and it is even consid-
cred that banquet or feast of some
sort could be spread upon the bridge.
These features of the plan are not de-
termined upon, but have been infor-
mally discussed. President Diaz, who
is now in his 10th year, is enthusiastic
over the idea of the meeting, and has
personally expressed, in letters to
President Taft, his appreciation to
the latter for taking the initiative in
the matter.

 Tungsten is a heavy metal of a gravish-white color necessary in the manufacture of high grade steel. tungsten was discovered about one
 hundred years ago. but thus far very
 little progress has been made in the
 mining of it. It is only necessary to
 quote the present market quotations to
 prove this assertion. Ore containing
 SO per cent tungsten acid is worth on the market today S6 a unit. which Is
 equal to $360 per ton. The Schneiders of Crucsut. France. are one of the greatest manufacturers of armor plate in the world The fact that they con truI an American patent. No. 929.659. which calls for 3 per cent tungsten in a certain make of armOr plate, is alone enough to create a heavy demand for | this valuable metal Besides tungsten
 is in demand by nearly all steel manu- i facutrers. both here and abroad. l mere are put lilltt AbA HIS oA thi4o sten ore considered of commercial value. namely, wolframite. hubnerite, and scheelite The fact that MT. Hale i says that some samples of tungsten l ore taken from the Bill Williams coun- ! try. is the best he ever saw, cannot { be passed lightly.
 The different boards of trade in this i territory would perhaps do well to se- 1 cure samples of such ores and put 1 them on display throughout the coun- ! try to help prospectors familiarize 1 themselves with said ores.
 ! Some good samples of wolfranIte l can be obtained fram Boulder county | Colo, scheelite in san Bernardino
