PAPERS SERVED
ON HARRY THAW

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Papers in
the suit of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw against
Harry X Thaw and his mother. Mary
Copley Thaw, as next of kin, asking
the annulment OF their marriage on the
ground that Thaw was insane when It
was contracted were served on Thaw
in the State asylum for the criminal
insane at Matteawan and on his
mother at the Hotel Lorraine soon
after noon to-day by representatives
of the younger Mrs. Thaw's attorney,
Daniel OReilly. The complaint is of
the briefest character and simply re-
cites that he was insane prior to the
marriage and has been ever since.
Announcement that the papers had
been served. Lawyer O'Reilly declared,
he was authorized to deny the report
that 1t had been agreed to settle $780,
600 on the younger Mrs. Thaw and
also to make her an allowance of SIS
900 a year for life. He also emphat-
cally denied the report that she is con-
templating a return to the stage, say
Ing Mrs. Evelyn Thaw has no plans
for the immediate future"
Despite this denial. the two stories
are still being circulated by friends of
the Thaw family who call attention -
the fact that only as short time ago
as yesterday O'Rellly denied that Mrs.
Thow would prefer an annulment and
also admitted she had receivec-As offer

NEW YORK, March 11.-Aurel Ba-
tonyi has filed his answer in Supreme
Court to the suit for divorce insu-
tuted by his wife, who was Mrs Burke
Roche, says the American" today.
In his reply Batonyi makes charges
fan more sensationa THAN any that have
been forecasted. and names eleven co.
respondents.
Batonyfs chief accusations are direct
ed against Frank X. Sturgis, banker,
broker ana secretary of the Jockey
Club, who lives at III East Fifty-first
street. Sturgis is the chief co-respon-
dent, but the charges against him en-
brace an alleged conspiracy for millions.
Mt Sturgis, who, as shown in the
court papers. rose from Office boy for
Frank Work, father Of Mrs. Batonyi, to
president Of the Stock Exchange
through Mr.. Works aid, is accused OF
having covertly and wrongfuly secured
control Of the millions possessed by
frank Work, the aged father of Mrs.
Burke Roche Batonyi, and having com

Part Of Batonyi's sworn statement says
that his wife, who, for two decades. has
been pet Of the Four Hundred. has bo-
come degraded on account Of the influ-
enoe welded over her by the broker.
This information, according to Batonyi's
statement, was obtained through confess
sions made to him by his wife after their
marriage.
With the object in view Of keeping Mrs.
Batonyi under his control, the former
whip declares, Sturgis encouraged her TO
do many extravagant things and gave
her presents.

ROOSEVELT TALKS
TO THE MOTHERS
Declares That lie Puts Them
Ahead Of the Veterans
of the Civil War
BY United Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, March n.-President
Roosevelt turned the White House over
yesterday to the delegates to the First In
ternational Congress Of Mothers in Amer
ica' and made short address to them in
praise of motherhood. They went in a
great body TO the White House, thronged
the historic mansion and packed the East
room, where the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt received them, and where the
President, with great earnestness. deliv-
cred his characteristic address on the vel
fare of the child.
The President talked Just as frankly
TO the Mothers of America as he talks
to the college men or Grand Army vet
Grams. He did not mince matters. Among
other things he told them 1t was. the duty
OF every wife to bear a sufficient number
OF children to keep up the American race.
He had contempt for the woman who
shirked this duty. The President did not
specify how many children a woman
should have, but he emphasized the evil
Of race suicide. and devoted much atten-
tion to what he conceived the duty OF
motherhood in bringing up children prop
erly.
'rhis is the one body that put even
ahead of the veterans OF the Civil W ar,
cause it is the mother. and the mother
only, who is a better citizen even than
the soldier who tights for his country.
The successful mother, who does her
part in rearing and training the boys
and girls TO be the men and women Of
the next generation, is of greater use
to the community and occupies, If she
only would realize it. a more honor
able and important position than any
successful man In it.
UNLESS the average woman is good
wife and good mother; unless she bears
sufficient number of children, so that
the race shall increase and not de-
crease; unless she brings up these chill
dren sound in soul and mind and body
unless this is true OF the average
woman, no brllliancy of genius. no ma
terial prosperity, no triumphs Of sci
ence and industry will avail to save
the race from ruin and death. The
mother is the one supreme asset of ma
tional life.
"I abhor and condemn t4e man who
fails to recognize al his obligations 20
the woman who does her duty. But the
woman who shirks her duty as wife and
mother Is just as heartily to be con-
demned we despise her as we despise
and condemn the soldier who fiinches
in battle.
"A marriage should be a partnership
where each has his or her rights where
each should be more careful to do his
OF her duty than to exact duty from the
other partner; but where each must. in
justice 10 the other partner no less than
to himself or herself exact the per
formance Of duty by that other part
ner.
Let each OF you do his or her duty
first; put most stress on that; but In
addition do not lose your self-respect
by submitting to wrong"
