Difficult Matter for Evelyn to Lay

port that Mrs. Harry X. ThaW will
abandon the proceedings to annul her
marriage, and attempt, instead, to be ap-
pointed a trustee or committee of her
husbands estate, Frank Semple. agent
and attorney in fact for the Thaw es-
tate, said today:
1T will take a very fine rake for any
committee which may be appointed for
Harry X. ThaW to find any estate in
which he has an interest not provided for
by the terms of his fathers will
Il can hardly imagine that the court
would appoint Mrs. Harry X. Thaw trus-
tee or committee of his estate" con-
tinued Mr.. Semple, but if she or any
one else is appointed they will find that
the executors and trustees under the
will of William Thaw have absolute con-
troll OF all his interest in his fathers
esta te.
Personally I know nothing about his
personal affairs except that the will
makes explicit just how the interest of
Harry X. Thaw shall be held and. dis
tributed Certainly no order of court aD-
pointing a committee or trustees of his
estate in the event he is finally declared
insane could avoid or change the terms
of the will Of his father. That will stands
no matter what order any court might
make"

the Pacific Coast.
Among its many attractions is the
Largest Dancing Pavilion in the World
the largest Skating Rink in the World

cost. beautiful and attractive villas and
bungalows, ranging from $500 to $500
month, including lights, water and
laundry. These villas are situated on
the Venice canals, conveniently near
to the ocean.
Venice Is also well supplied with
first-cIass restaurants and everything
that goes to make up for high-class
seaside resort.
Those who. wish to bring teams will
find first-class stable accommodations
at moderate costs.
Perhaps one of the greatest attrac-
tions Venice has is its equable eli
mate From May until November the
thermometer hardly varies.
