MRS THAW MAY
SUE IN NEVADA
Husbands Lawyer Expects Her tC
Seek Divorce.

New York, Aug 17-AccOrding to a
report which was credited by Harry
K. Thaw's counsel, Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw is on her way to Reno, Ne
vada, to establish the residence re-
quired by the laws of the Bonanza
State preparatory to starting an action
for divorce from her husband, the STAY
er of Stanford White.
Young Mrs Thaw was not at her
apartment yesterday nor to-day, and it
was freely said tonight along the
Great White Way that she had gone
West"
Mr.. Morschauser to-day stated that
there was no disposition not to pay
Mrs. Thaw the additional 5000 so far
as he was concerned, but that he could
not send her this check until he had
received orders to do so.
in view of her life since Mr.. Thaw
has been in the insane asylum" he
said, people admit that he has treated
her kindly. He has sent her $500 a
month until the present month. She
will also receive this in due time, but
not to-day.
SHOULD Mr.. Thaw decide to cut her
off without penny, she has absolute
ly no redres. She cannot get anything
by a suit, because he is bankrupt,
and if she sued for a divorce she could
get nothing, as he is a lunatic in the
eyes of the law.
"She was in a great rush to do him
injury and to play into the hands OF
Jerome and the alienists and every one
who was against her husband. Now
because he is two weeks late in send
ing her a check for 5000 she begins to
whine"

CROP CONDITIONS
IN OTHER COUNTRIES
Least Promising in Central
Part of Europe.

Washington, Aug. 17.-With mid
harvest reached in Europe, the Depart
ment of Agriculture issued a report
showing the conditions of the crops
in foreign countries. The conditions
are the least promising in Central Eu-
rope. AS to this section, the report
says:
Little improvement was permitted
last month, because of the weather.
In Germany and Austria-Hungary, a
considerable decline in this years
wheat crop and a moderate decrease
in rye seem assured. The reduction
in wheat in Central Europe will be
fifty million bushels below last year,
when bare average crop was reaped.
Quite Satisfactory.
Western and Southwestern Eu
rope" the report adds, ARE reaping
crops much more satisfactory. In
Great Britain, on an increased acreage
the condition of wheat is placed per
cent above average. In Spain a yield
nestle demands. In Italy the crop
yield generally seems satisfactory,
but the quality is poor. An official
estimate places the probable harvest
10 per cent, or about fifteen million
bushels above last year. The latest
official crop report of France is unfa
vorable as regards condition, but an
average wheat harvest is still posi-
BILE, owing to the increased area.
Throughout eastern and southeast
ern Europe good crop conditions have
been maintained. In Roumania, in
|spite of a smaller area of wheat, a
crop much larger than last year is
expected. In Bulgaria and Servia the
promise is favorable while in Russia
the crops are rated good. In the lat
ter country the acreage of winter
wheat is undoubtedly less than last
year, but spring wheat is the crop
much more largely grown.
Stocks Run Low.
The stocks left over from last year
have run low and the lateness of this
years harvest in importing countries
will cause further drain. While the
European harvest as a whole will un-
doubtedly be larger than those of the
last two years, when there was a Sc
rious crop shortage, it is unlikely to
come up to that of 1906 or even of
1905.
Outside of Europe and the United
States, Canada is the only important
producer which harvests its crops at
this season; latest reports thence are
decidedly encouraging, indicating for
all grains, EXCEPT winter wheat, a
crop much in Excess of last years.
ut is still TO early to judge of the
between-seasgn crops to be furnished
by India, australia and Argentina
The fa86rable monsoon in India gives
promise of a favorable season, but it
must be borne in mind that the next
wheat crop has not yet been sown
there. Seeding in Australia has been
favored by plentiful rains. In Argen-
tina serious drought prevailed for
months and at the date of the latest
reports had been broken only in part;
a large decrease in the area under
wheat seems certain

~. T Senatorial Primaries

who receive about half as many votes each to
run for III "short', term1S 1t is quite evident
how the%a49' man would&fee about 1t, while
on the face of the returns" it looks as If he
would be the second choice if there were an
opportunity given for that choice.
Again, the primary law, in Sec. IL says:
THAT where there is more than one person to
be elected to the same Office the persons to the
number to be elected receiving the highest
number of$votes cast for such office shall be
declared the nominees" p5 b# ! %3%
Under this provision we have representa-
tives to congress, state senators and represents
tives, commissioners of railroads, county, con-
stables and justices all elected by the highest
plurality votes, while the law specifically calls
the similar offices to be filled "the same
Office" Now if in the election of two or
more representatives to congress the law says
"for the same office" why not the same for
the office of senator?
And, if two more representatives are
selected by plurality votes, why should not
two senator's be selected the same way when
the same law further says:
4ne (senatoriaD candidates of each party
shall be placed upon such ballot in the same
manner the candidates for state office and
shall be voted for in the same manner"
And it is hereby made the duty of the secre-
tary of state to certify to the next session of
the legislature the name Of the candidate Of
each party who receives the highest number
of votes for the office of United States sena-
tor.
Personally, we believe that to declare the
contest to be for two separate Offices would be
the simplest method and save some complica-
tons, but it would not be all smooth sailing.
From the primary law quoted it is very evil
dent that there. Is at least quais. authority for
calling it one two Offices and we are there
fore up against dilemma in the very begin
ning-and as time and discussion go on we
are very likely to find others now Unforeseen.
that must be settled somehow. law or no law.
In this connection we would again suggest
that in this case, as in some other instances
there is shown necessity for the state consi.
tuition to give the supreme court power to
make pro tenn laws and de facto methods Of
procedure, where the legislature has failed to
make the necessary provisions. ,.,>. .ss. -. ,

Pembina Pioneer Express: The Bismarck
Tribune decides that there are two senatorial
Offices to be filled at the ensuing elections.
The Pioneer Express in its, remarks last
week did not attempt to decide only point
ing out an inference-as it is only an infer
ence-there being no direct law whatever on
the subject. We suggested some possible com
plications and this is the principal one. ,4
Is the office Of senator one Or two Offices
We admit that the argurent,of the Tribune
that because they can be distinguished by q
long and ''short" term there appears to be
a difference in the two which is not appli'
cable exactly to the cases we cite below, but the
opening paragraph of the primary law of 1907
and which we believe will be the basis OF
any supreme court decision that may be had
itself-says, 1T (the primary law shall Be
literally construed so that the real will of the
electors may not be defeated oy any informal
ity or failure to comply with all provisions
of the law in respect to either giving OF any
notice or the conducting of the primary OF
certifying the results thereof"
This Intent" of the law to get at the
real will of the electors" therefore, has some
thing to do with the question as to the methods
of presenting the candidates on the ballots, as
we'll as to the candidates themselves.
Under this consideration the query at once
appears, will the popular will be better ex'
pressed by letting all candidates run in a
bunch and the highest two take the long and
short terms respectively. or would it be fareI
for them to be. separated into two groups and
the candidates in each group be selected as II
there were no other group?
In our example of two weeks ago we let
the two candidates in the FIRST group for the
long term get 81 and 40 per cent of the
votes which sent the "49 man" out of the
race. In the second group four candidates
received around rs per cent each. and the
highest two, who together did not get as many
votes as the 40 per cent man in the FIRST
group, are allowed to have second trial at
the fall election and one of them sure to be
elected.
Now, would it be ''the will of the electors"
to make the man with the 40 per cent for
long term take afback seat and allow two others
