sanity of the prisoner while DR.. tTosti

simple fact that he had killed his vic

archist, or that he had ever been a
member of any sort of society. or ever
that he had been a reader of anarch-
istic literature, has been adduced dur
ing the trial.

tions. 1t is understood the case will go

Governor of New York Will Urge That

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y. March 11.-Fear
that the anti-race track gambling
legislation recommended by Governor
Hughes in his annual message to i. the
legislature might be smothered in com
mittee was dispelled to some extent
today by the action of the senate COM
mittee on codes in reporting the first
of the bills introduced by Senator Ag-
new to embody the governors recon-
mendations.
The assembly code committee was
expected to take similar action this
evening, but its hearings on other bills
We're protracted and 1t adjourned with
out action until tomorrow. The bills
will be discussed then and possibly re-
ported.
The advocates of the legislation, espe-
cially Governor Hughes, were disap-
pointed to find that the senate COM
mittee had amended the bill so as to
defer its taking effect until September
l. The governor made no secret of his
disapproval of this amendment, sayaing
that its only purpose was to exempt
the major part of this years racing
schedule from the prohibition of gam
bling, and that there was no treason
for postponing obedience to the constl-
tuition of the state
Reminded by the newspaper men
that the majority of the code amend
ments are drawn to take effect Sep
tember l, he explained that this is done
to give lawyers time to accommodate
their pending litigation to the change.
None who talked with the governor
today was left in any doubt that he
will insist th-.t the legislation take ef-
feet Immediately.
The bill reported today is really
secondary one in the anati-gambling
series. 1t would amend the penal code
by creating penalty of imprisonment
only for gambling in this state, instead
of the alternative of a fine now per-
mitted.

NEW YORK, March Hilary K
Thaw was served late today with copy
of the summons and complaint in the
proceedings brought by his wife, Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, to annul their marriage.
A messenger delivered the papers to
Thaw at the Matteawan insane asylum,
and about the same time Mrs. William
Copley Thaw, who is co-defendant, was
served at the Hotel Lorraine.
Daniel O'Reilly, counsel for Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, explained that Thaws
mother was made a co-defendant be-
cause, being the next of kin, she is
technically the real defendant.
The law presumes her son to be in
sane, and therefore legally dead.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw called at Mr..
O'Reilly's Office today and attached her
signature to the papers in the case. AS
she left the Office Mrs. Thaw was asked
whether she would subsequently make
public the cause of the estrangement
which led to the suit. She replied:
"The public will never know"
Insanity Alleged
The papers served today briefly re-
cite the fact of the marriage at Pitts
burg on April 4, 1905. and set forth that
"at the time of the marriage of the
plaintiff to the defendant the DEFENDANT
was lunatic and of unsound mind and
was Incapable of making a valid con-
tract of marriage The cause for an
nulling the marriage, to wit, the lunacy
of Harry Kendall Thaw. existed at the
time of such marriage
Lawyer O'Reilly said he did not an
ticipate any trouble in obtaining from
the defendants counsel fees and all
mony.
A. Russell Peabody, counsel for Thaw,
said: 'It will not be necessary for
Evelyn to go to the courts in order to
get counsel fees and alimony while tbs
suit is pending. She has been getting
money from me to pay her expenses
while Harry is confined. and this will
be continued during the trial of the an
nulment suit. I shall fight the case
uron instructions from my client aud
shall represent him personally IN the
defense"
The matter of a cash settlement upon
the plaintiff has not been taken up,

to give concert in the public square
The attendance Of the band was
good, having out all told sixteen
pieces.
The selections, Overtures and solos
were exceptionally well rendered,
showing that the boys, under their
director, Prof. Geo Jauslin, have put
in some hard work during the win
ter months to perfect themselves for
this coming summers concerts.
That the program was highly ap-
preciated was evident as Il gOOdly
number of citizens turned out to hear
the concert. Let us hope that the
boys will continue with the good
work and favor US with concerts
regularly, as good musical organ
ization in the city Is very essential.

Wednesday, March 4th the nine
hour schedule for telegraphers went
into effect and taken with the laying
off two lien of the depot force the
service at the depot is pretty badly
demOrali2ed. Under the system the
day operator works from a m to
l p M and the telegraph Office is then
closed until 4 p IN. when the day
resumes work till Z O'Clock. You
mustn't want to telegraph between
l and p IN. The night operator
does not go on until 8 p m, so that
there is no one at the depot for two
hours in the evening. The freight
rustler has been laid off and the
clerk is expected to handle freight in
addition 70 the book work. The re-
suit is that the merchants and dray-
men must sort out their own freight
and waste hours of time to find it
scattered thru the mixed freight in
the cars. When the amonnt of local
! freight business is cOnsi iered and tn
that is added the freight for the boats
it is evident that nothing but con.
fusion and delay can result unle>s a
larger force ia put on to handle the
business. Already complaint has
been made and one additional man
has been promised, but even then the
force will not lie adequate. Unless
steps are taken soon to relieve the
situation, the business men will by
concerted action try to secure i'm
provement thru appeal to the State

Growth Of The First National.

The last official statement of The
First National Bank of Kennewick
under date of Feb'y 14th showing
deposits of over 5000, 100000 places
it at the head of the banking insti-
tutions of Benton county and shows
the wonderful development of this
section of the county.
The Exchange Bank which the
First National succeeds was organ
lied in 1903. In 1905 the deposits
were considerably less than $780,
600. The volume of business has
increased even more rapidly than
the deposits and it's not uncommon
for the days business to exceed
$4,000.
The First National stands for the
upbuilding of its territory. Every
dollar of it's loans is in this vicinity
developing the best country in the
county. 1t has faith in kenne-
wick as a city, as a community, az
the foremost town in Benton cOun-
ty and in the territory surround
ing it. If you haven't an account
with them you should open one at
once and thus increase the tangi-
bic wealth of the vicinity you live
in. Every business institution in
kenncwick needs and is entitled to
the hearty support of its citizens.
This cooperation has made this
rapid growth possible and the Bank
merits its continuance.
