EVELYN THAW TO LEAVE.
It Is Stated That She Will Make
Her Homo Abroad For a Num-
Der of Years.

Mrs. Florence Evelyn Ncsbit Thaw
will leave the United States next Sat
urday, says Il dispatch from New
York to the Atlanta Journal, and has
planned to make her home abroad for
a number of years.
This announcement was made on
Saturday by her attorney. Daniel
O'Rcilly. Young Mrs. Thaw will re-
main in scclusion in her present hid
ING place until she returns to New
York ON Wednesday next, when her
marriage TO Harry Kendall Thaw will
be settled.
SHE will remain in New York,
shopping and winding up her affairs
until Saturday, when she will sail for
Europe. She has arranged to make
her home for the present in Munich.
"MrS. TnaW is clad 10 he able to
leave New York, and will stay AWAY
~ long IL She possibly can.' SAID Mr..
O'Rcilly. "The only thing that re-
mains to be settled is her suit for
the annulmrnt Of her marriage 10
Harry Thaw. That will be out Of the
way on Wednesdays
The uNnullmrn, proceedings VII!

larry Thaw'S sanity. While many
figures have been quoted in the mat

Thaw. there has never been a clear OF
positive statement either from hen

of Mrs. William Thaw. A. Russell

Despite the fact hat his wife ha'
publicly and in legal document de
clared her purpose to be rid Of him

His plan is said to have met with
some favor at the White House. The
president has more than once, and in
emphatic language, expressed his en-
tire sympathy with the policy of the
National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress which would commit the govern
ment to an annual appropriation for
rivers and harbors work of not less
than $50,000,000 a year. But to ap-
propriate $1O,000,000 and employ it in
taking care of men inexperienced in
engineering work would be the height
of folly.
Under regular and maintained pol
icy of waterways Improvement, there
is little doubt that hundreds of thou
sands of men otherwise unprovided
with work could be cared for. Such
government expenditures would spell
1.-THE death of the soup kitchen. II
would also increase the national pros
perity of providing a new system OF
of transportation and celebrating the
means of communication between the
different sections of the country.

Had he not voted against them the
