HH THAW.3 FATE IN HANDS OF MILLS SUMMING UP COMPLETED AND MILLS WILL RENDER DECI- SION THURSDAY. THAW REMAINS AT WHITE PLAINS Both Jerome and Morschauser Brand Eveyin as a Falsifier.—Prosecutor ignores Mother's Attack, Is Calm and Dispassionate. White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 9.—In a@ cell at the White Plains jail Harry K. Thaw awaits the decision that will hold him sane or declare him a luna- tic. The hearing in the supreme court in the habeas corpus proceedings against the state of New York, ended when his attorney, Charles Morschau- ser, summed up his case. District Attorney Jerome preceded Mr. Mor- schauser. Justice Mills said that he will endeavor to hand down his deci- sion on Thursday morning. Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the prison- er’s mother, with her daughter, Alice, the countess of Yarmouth, and her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jo- siah Thaw, will remain here until Har- ry Thaw’s fate is settled. Their movements after that will be governed largely by Justice Mill’s decision. Thaw’s mother and his brother and sister have not missed a day in court the hearing began and Mrs. Thaw’s statements show that if this fe goes against her son she will lose n me in trying to free him by other means While habeas corpus actions like the one just closed are open to Thaw indefinitely, it is likely that if Justice Mills rules against him he will hang his next upon the state court of ap- peals. An appeal to this tribunal from a decision of the appellate division, up- holding Justice Mill’s refusal to lay the question of Thaw’s sanity before a jury, is now pending. Calls Evelyn a Falsifier. The addresses of District Attorney Perome and Mr. Morschauser were alike free from the outbursts of ora- tory that characterized the two homi- cidal trials. The district attorney was since Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. particularly temperate. Mrs. Mary C. Thaw’s personal attacks on him were passed without mention, and of Thaw himself Mr. Jerome spoke pitying as “Thaw, poor boy.” Only two witnesses among several hundred that testified for Thaw at his trials and hearings were picked out by Jerome for rebuke. These were Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Dr. Britton D. Evans, Thaw’s chief alienist. With- out raising his voice, but in the frank- est language, the district attorney said that in his belief Thaw’s pretty wife had “deliberately and willfully falsi- fied.” His attack on Dr. Evans after their skirmish Friday was mild. Evelyn Thaw came in for condemna- tion from both attorneys. Mr. Mor- schauser said that the reluctance she expressed to testify of Thaw’s alleged threat to shoot her was all assumed. He said that on the night before she testified she had consulted with Dr. Austin Flint, in Mr. Jerome’s office and had formed a combination with the alienist against her husband. The district attorney’s summary jasted an hour and thirty-five minutes. Mr. Morschauser talked for two hours and fifty minutes. Mrs. Thaw em- phasized her opinion of Mr. Jerome and his efforts by reading a magazine straight through his argument. When her son’s attorney began she laid the pamphlet aside and listened intently. She and her son whispered together and twice Thaw wrote notes apparent- jy at her dictation and passed them to his lawyer. There was some talk of taking Thaw | back to Matteawan, but Justice Mills allowed him to remain in the local jail wantil his application is decided. Suit for $100,000 Damages. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 9.—Papers will be filed here with the county clerk by attorneys for William J. Conners, abairman of the Democratic state committee, in a suit against the own- gers of Colliers Weekly for $100,000 Aamages because of an article pub- Jished in the week, July 11, 1908. The complain contains the entire arti- ele complained of, in which Mr. Con- mers alleges, he is charged with vari- us crimes, including assault, secret gnurder, riot and conspirecy and othey gerious offenses. §In Minnesota : Important Happenings of the Week Briefly Told. *Moorhead.—The cornerstone of the new Presbyterian church was laid here with appropriate ceremonies. Bveleth——The employes of the Du- luth & Iron Range railroad will hold their annual picnic on St. Mary’s Lake near here, Aug. 21. Bemidji—The game and fish com- mission’s private car Glenwood has been working through this region planting trout in local streams. Hastings.—The semi-annual meeting of the deanery of Dakota county was held at the parochial residence of the Church ‘of the Guardian Angels. Waseca.—At a special election to decide the question of granting a fran- chise to a local company for the manu- faeture of gas, the proposition carried by a large majority. Cloquet.—Mrs. Alec Grandholm, 68 years old, lost her felt foot by being caught under the wheels of a freight train while endeavoring to crawl be- neath one of the cars. Bedger—A stock company is form- ing here to start a factory of pottery. Gus Anderson has successfully burned a small kiln of clay, dug from a local deposit, which will be worked. Bird Island—At the twenty-ninth annual Renville county fair, to be held here Sept. 22, 23, 24, there will be two races each day and cash purses of $1,700 are offered for the six races. Fergus Falls—The Concord street bridge, in the eastern part of this city, collapsed and fell into the river. The bridge had been considered unsafe for some time and had been closed to heavy traffic. It will be replaced by a substantial steel bridge. Washington, D. C.—The early arrest and conviction of Angel Paquin, the Mexican railway engineer, who is held responsible for the death of Mrs. Ev- erett, wife of E. A. Everett, of Waseca, Minn,. is expected as the result of ac- tivities of the Mexican government. Badger—The Farmers Elevator Co. has purchased the Hanson & Barzen elevator at this place, the price being $4,100. The farmers are operating an elevator at Greenbush successfully. The Red Lake Milling Company is also planning to build an elevator at this point and at Roseau. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi- tion has an enclosure of 320 acres; the Minnesota State Fair has an en- closure of 327 acres. The opening day’s attendance at the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition was 85,000; the opening day’s attendance at the 1907 Minnesota State Fair was over 94,000. With the present crop conditions and prospects and with the extraordi- nary number of special attractions of- fered this year the board of managers of the Minnesota State Fair firmly be- lieve that the opening day’s attend- ance will be over 100,000 and that the total for Sept. 6 to 11 will be more than half a million. Eveleth—John Tekaultz, an Aus- trian miner, who left a $100 a month job as shift boss in the mines at Ely seven years ago to settle on a home- stead eight miles south of Eveleth and a graduate of the state agricul- tural college and experiment station, was in Eveleth with the first load of rutabagas for the season. Hastings—A gas franchise has been granted by the city council to Otto Ackerman and Dr. H. L. Sump- tion. The franchise runs for twenty years, providing for a maximum rate of $1.75 per thousand cubic feet, the rates being subject to revision at the expiration of ten years. The company is financed by local money and will apply for incorporation under the state laws. The construction of the factory, the promoters say, will be entered onto very shortly. The gas will be made out of coal ofl and other materials. Winona.—Notwithstanding the late hour at which festivities closed, the fire underwriters of Minnesota and | North Dakota were astir early and many set out on a fishing expedition on the Mississippi. Others went up by the steamer Ideal to Fountain City, where a fish fry was served. The return was made to Winona in the late afternoon and an impromptu ball | game between the insurance men was played on the local league grounds. | The convention closed with the Blue Goose initiation. Mankato.—Dr. C. F. Warner, the oldest practicing physiclan in Man- kato and probably in southern Minne- sota, died from a general breakdown. He was born in Carrington, N. Y., in August, 1832, and served as a surgeon in the civil war with New York regi- ments. After locating in Mankato he served as an alderman and president of the city council and was a health officer for many years. He was a member of the American Medical In- ternational Railway Surgeons, Minne- sota Valley, and Minnesota Medical Associations. He was.a Mason and an Elk. He leaves a wife and one daughter. Mankato.—Andrew J. Layton, ac- cused of snatching a pocketbook con- taining $33 pension money from Fred Schritt, an old soldier, and who was yesterday bound over to the grand jury after a hearing, went before Judge Pfau and pleaded guilty, claim- ing he was a dope fiend and did not remember what occurred. He was sentenced to two years and two ‘months in Stillwater. Later in the day he changed his mind and claimed that he was not guilty, and desired te have his sentence recalled, but # yen te Inte. ened RUN THE STATE TREASURER DINEHART PUTES THE EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT MACHINE, TAKES $21.54 EVERY MINUTE Disbursements Last Year $12,717,018. 25, Leaving on Hand $2,773,250.75. Legislature is an Expensive Luxury. The State of Minnesota spends $21, 84 a minute. It spends $1,292.52 every hour and $31,020.45 every day. The total is $943,589.08 every month. These figures are shown in ‘the pre- Mminary report of the financial condi- tion of the state as prepared by State Treasurer Clarence C. Dinehart for the | fiscal year ending July 31, 1909. That is the average amount expended dur- ing the past year, not counting the money loaned by the state from the | permanent trust funds. Starting with a balance of cash on hand Aug. 1, 1908, the state treasurer took in during the year $12,521,980.02. The total expenditures amounted to $12,717,018.25, leaving on hand at pres- ent $2,773,250.41. ,. Legislature Came High. The state legislature for 1909 cost $290,752.75.

Mr. Dinehart says: “It is interesting to note that the corporation fees received during May, June and July of 1908 were $14,890, while for the same period of 1909, a time when ordinarily business inter- ests would be conservative inasmuch as capital is timid when any possible change in a nation’s policy is being considered, the receipts were $22,250. This would seem to indicate that the financial men of the middle west were satisfied with the business outlook and security of their investments.” The figures showing the amounts expended for various state institu- tions include all of the money spent by the state for their general support, repairs, buildings, and so forth, are as follows: Five normal schools, $397,989.94.

New Attraction for Minnesota Show This Year. There will be a Swedish Village, as well as an Indian Village, an Igorrote Village, at the Minnesota State Fair thig year and the State Fair grounds give promise of becoming in large part a “street of nations,” from Sept. 6 to 11. In its search for innovations for the fiftieth annual Minnesota State Fair, the board of managers has set- tled upon a Swedish Village as the most novel and most attractive fea- ture available and has entered into contracts with representatives of va- rious Swedish gocieties in the state by which a Swedish Village, somewhat suggestive of the Chicago World’s Fair will be installed on “Machinery Hill.” A special feature of the Swedish Village will be a registration system by which all visitors will be permitted and requested to register their pres- ent address and also the place of their nativity or the province from which their immediate family came. Use of this system by the thousands of vis- itors will enable many to relocate friends or relatives whose addresses have long been lost and will undoubt- edly result in many happy reunions.
