1t is announced that if the Thaws of
Pittsburg care to make Miss Evelyn Mes
bit, reported to be the wife of young
Harry K. Thaw, practically Independent
for life there will be little or no trouble
in coming to an agreement. The sum
sought is $250,O00, which the Pittsburg
friends of Miss Nesbit say is just one
fourth of what the Thaws paid to get
the Earl of Yarmouth into the family.
That Miss Nesbit was married to young
Thaw in Paris is no longer doubted by
many who have interested themselves,
and the question of breaking up the mar
riage seems to be the all-important topic.
Pittsburg friends of Miss Nesbit say
that if matters are fixed" properly for
the young woman she will go abroad at
once, allowing Harry Thaw to sue for
divorce on the grounds of desertion.

JUDGE PARKER SPEAKS.
Reiterates His Charges Against Repub-
Iicau MANAGERS.

Re1teraIeS HIS charges "A ga1nSC RepuO-
1ican Managers.
Declaring that President Roosevelt in
his signed statement to the public had not
met the issue created since the platforms
of the parties were adopted, Alton 3.
Parker, in a speech before the Kings
County Democratic Club in Brooklyn
Saturday night reiterated his charges
of trust contributions to the Republican
campaign fund for the purpose of cor
rupting the election, but did not attempt
to present proof of direct transactions
between Chairman Cortelyou of the Re-
publican national committee and the
heads of great corporations.
While Judge Parker produced no aft
davits, as expected in some quarters, he
took back none of the charges previously
made, and taking President Roosevelt's
statement as an admission that the
trusts had contributed money to the Re
publican campaign fund, he declared that
such contributions, for the foul purpose
intended, form the greatest evil against
which the people of to-day have to con-
tend
had contributed to both the Republican
and Democratic campaign funds, Judge
Parker SAID: Inc 1I0SlucuI uOcS hOL
deny the contributions. This is what he
| saws: THAT contributions have been
made to the Republican committee, as
! contributions have been made to the
| Democratic committee, is not the ques-
ton at issue Mr.. Parker's assertion is
in effect that such contributions have
been made for improper motives, i'll con-
sequence of threats or in consequence OF
improper promise, direct or Indirect, on
the part of the recipients
''That is the only paragraph in Presl
dent Roosevelt's statement which touches
either directly or indirectly on the ques
ton as to whether the trusts have made
contributions to the Republican cam
paign fund.-

ment regarding the shooting of Frank

ously as the "red-headed man" who
