Before Justice Blanchard, in Part H, he made application, on a petition signed by Thaw himself, for an order that the law firm which was first in the case turn over to him all paper3 In the case that have been signed by Harry Thaw. Judge P.lanchard granted the order directing that Black, Olcott, Gruber nnd lioyngne be ordered to show cause by Friday morning why they should not turn over to Hartridge all the papers asked for.

Twice today she had pleaded with him In the Tombs to dismiss Hartridge or rather permit the first law firm to remain In the case. She had also gone to Hartridgo and begged him to withdraw from the case. Later Mrs. Thaw and her son's wife, Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, drove away together from the Tombs in the younger woman's automobile cab. Mrs. Thaw obtained from Hartridge a promise that he would do what she wished If her son agreed. Rut after this interview with Mrs. Thaw, Hartridgo said he was still Thaw's attorney. When Mr. Hartridge was seen tonight he said: "The Black and Olcott firm has been served. When Mrs. Thaw saw Harry today she told him Insanity was his best plea. He replied that he was not insane and would have none of It. He told his mother I had outlined another defense and that he was satisfied with it and wanted me as counsel."

TOWN IS RUINED BY AN EAR E Socrorro in Texas a Mass of Ruins as Result of Over "ifty Shocks. PEOPLE FLEE IN TERROR THERE IS A CRATER OF AN EX TINCT VOLCANO EIGHT MILES FROM THE TOWN WATER IN SPRINGS VERY HOT. Publishers' Prpssl El Paso, Texas, July IS. Earth quake shocks numbering between fifty and sixty have practically made a ruin of the town of Socrorro, 160 miles North of this place. The Court house Is a mass of ruins and practically all of the houses in the town have been damaged. None of the quakes were of a violent nature, and according to the reports which have been received here, there is.no loss of life. The damage has been wrought by the continuation of slight quakes which have caused the walls of structures already cracked to tumble to the earth. E. M. Fink, a cattle buyer who came in from Socorro today, declares he was sitting at dinner at the Winckler Hotel on Monday when the entire side wall of the dinning room fell in and that guests and all the waiters scattered in every direction. There is the crater of what Is thought to be an extinct volcano not more than eight miles from Socorro and the Inhabitants think that perhaps the volcano has something to do with the remarable series of shocks. Water in the hot springs at Socorro has Increased over ten degrees in tem perature. The National Railroad is sending box cars into the town to take the people away, so great is their terror.

The first is that in widening State street, the same procedure is to bo followed as in improving any other street. The parties benefitted are to pay the cost, which in this case means that the railroad company must benr its share of the expense. The second point is in regard to building a retaining wall to protect the grade of the railroad mpany. The wall is to be built at the company's expense. The third point is in awarding the contract for the work.

BIG BUSINESS EXPECTED Prospects are for a Great Yield of Wheat in the Northwest Which Means Much to Gaar's. The Gaar. Scott Company is mak ing preparations to do the largest business in its history in the wheat districts of the northwest. It is said that the largest crop in the history of the country will be harvested in that country this year. Owing to the fact that the harvest in the northwest is about thirty days later than harvest here, there is a chance of the crop being injured by rust but as things stand now everything points to a rec ord breaking yield.

WHEAT CROP HERE MAY RE A BUMPER One Hundred and Two Thousand Bushels of Grain Already Received in City. PROSPECTS OVER STATE FIGURES GATHERED FROM DIFFERENT COUNTIES NOW INDICATE THAT THERE WILL BE CROP OF 40,000,000 BUSHELS. The wheat reports from the mills and elevators of Wayne county show a return of 102.000 bushels of grain which have been sold by the farmers direct from the machine so far this season. This, however, does not show the exact amount already threshed as many farmers in the country are holding back their crops for higher prices. In fact this Is general over the country. Many of them say seventy cents Is not enough for the excellent Quality of grain raised this year. As the threshing in this county is only half over everything points to one of the largest wheat crops in the history of old Wayne. One Richmond miller estimated that the entire crop of the county would be at least two hundred and twenty five thousand bushels and would probably run to two hundred and seventy Ave thousand. Joseph H. Stubbs. chief of the state Bureau of Satistics estimates that there will be in the neighborhood of forty million bushels of wheat raised in Indiana this year with the probability of equalling the cron of 1899 when fifty one million bushels were raised. This acreage in the state this year is not as large as in many other years, but the Quality ' is unusually fine and is weighing out in the neighborhood of sixty and sixty one pounds to the bushel.

The friendship established there led to Mr. Dennis's appointment as Assistant Solicitor without consulting Representative Watson or any other politician in Indiana."

L T William Gartside Not Satisfied With His Assessment and Will Appeal. HE WAS INCREASED $500 ALL OTHER ASSESSMENTS OF DAMAGES AND BENEFITS IN CLOSING NORT.H 14TH STREET REMAIN THE SAME. The Board of Public Works sat in final consideration of the assessments for the vacation of North 14th street yesterday as petitioned for by the American Seeding Company. The only change in the original assessments was that of Mr. Gartside's which was raised $500 .making it $3,000. Mr. Gartside claims that the property is worth $5,000 and intimates that he wlil not be satisfied with a less sum for damages. Attorney Thomas J. Study appeared in behalf of Gartside and served notice that his client would anneal from the assessment of the Board to the Circuit Court. The board continued the matter until the American Seeding Company and the Pennsylvania railroad pay their benefit money to the City which in turn will allot the assessed damages. If the persons affected accept their assessments for damages then the street will be closed and the work of erecting the new factory will be begun. In case that they do not, then the first legal step will be taken by Gartside. who will appeal the case to the courts. Owing to the fact that the other interested did not give notice of possible court procedure at the meeting yesterday they are limited to the enjoining of any active movement in the work. They can either enjoin the American Seeding Company or the City separately or pointly. So far no others aside from Gartside have given intention of legal action. , TO OCCUPY NEW CHURCH The United Brethren Congregation to Hold Services in Edifice Formerly Owned by U. P.

DEFENDED MAXIM GORKY

IN ADDRESS TO CHICAGO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HE SAYS CRITICS OF "MRS. WARREN'S PROFESSION" ARE INDECENV. Professor Charles .ZuchJln or Chicago, who will lecture to the. teachers in connection with . top. Richmond Chautauqua this year has soma ideas that are peculiarly his own. In an address to the summer students at Chicago University this week... Prof. Zueblin declared that American morals and Institutions need a thorough renovation and that many popular and supposedly righteous "reform" movements are in reality immoral. V In part he said: "The critics who have objected so strenuously to the performance of Bernard Shaw's 'Mrs. Warren's Profession' have done a great deal ol harm," he said. "Many of, the attacks in the play which have ' been written are thoroughly Indecent. ' la reality 'Mr. Warren's Profession is a plea for morality. "One of the best proofs of the prudery that is going about is the fact that Maxim Gorky was excluded from certain hotels in New York, because, it was said, he was not married to th woman with him under our laws Gorky was very much more married than many of the people who stay reg ularly at the hotels from which he:waa ejected. Another instance of prudery is the objection to nude paintings and statues. "The woman's suffer age movement is reaching the point where it will be irresistable," he declared. "The English women who tried to gain the franchise by force were right. Howevei vulgar they may have been, they learn ed it from the men. The right way tq do it is the brutal way." Professor Zueblin further decried the "foolishness" of modern dress, de- . cried the segregation system of edu-' cation in vogue at the University ol Chicago, and declared that cJty people are "dirty" in addition to being "oven fed and hysterical on perfumes, theaters, novels and gossip." Want Bryan to Speak. It is probable that an effort will be made by the local Democrats to have William Jennings Bryan deliver a speech in this city some time during the present campaign. As Mr. -Bryan speaks at both Indianapolis and Fort Wayne they think that they ' can probably get him to come here. Thresher Broke Down. A threshing machine broke . down on the North 5th street car tracks yesterday owing to their raised condition. The council has ordered the street car company to remedy the condition but they have paid no heed as yet, and the owner of the machine threatens to sue the company for the damage done to his thresher.

CLARK BROTHER'S BUSY Centerville Elevator Firm Received 5,000 Bushels Yesterday Have, Bought 30,000 Bushels.
