RELATIVES
ABANDON THAW
MOTHER TOO ILL, COUNTESS OF
YARMOUTH BUSY WITH HER
OWN AFFAIRS, STAYS AWAY
FOR PRIVATE REASONS

NEW YORK, Jan. Harry X.
Thaw's mother will not be the prom
inent figure at the second trial that
she was at the first. She is reported
in poor health and it is unlikely
that she will be seen often in the
courtroom where her son is on trial
for his life. Ill health is also given
as the reason for the absence of the
Countess of Yarmouth, Thaw's sis
ter, although rumors have been cir
culated to the effect that her noble
relatives have demanded that she
stay away from the trial.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw will, beyond
doubt, be the star witness at this
trial, as at the first. Her evidence
will be used to show that Thaw's
mind became unsettled from brood
ing over the story she told him. A
new witness for the defense will be
John ]. Donnelly of Wilkesbarre,
Pa, who witnessed the shooting of
White by Thaw, and who will testi-
~ that Thaw's actions led to the be-
lief In his bind that Thaw was
crazy at the time OF the trial.

girls in Madison Square garden
tower, and asking the anti-vice cru
sader's Intervention. In these COM
munications Thaw denounced White
savagely as a human brute whose
principal occupation was sucking
the blood of innocent girls and as
serted that if the proper authorities
did not put stop to such bestiali-
ties God will inspire an avenger to
Stay the devil. The letters abound
in statements tending to show that
Thaw was a monamaniac on the
subject Of the wrong doings of
White.
The letters to Comstock followed
the employment by Thaw of several
private detectives to watch Stan
ford White. These sleuths reported
to him the alleged revels of White
In his studios. Armed with these
reports. Thaw called upon Anthony
Comstock and attempted to induce
the reformer to use his influence
and that of his society to put an end
to Whites orgies, After several in
terviews with Thaw and the receipt
of a number of letters, Comstock de-
cided that the young millionaire was
of unsound mind and that the
charges against White were proba-
bly, nothing more than unfounded
vagaries. Comstock referred Thaw
to the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children, but that body
also refused to take up the matter.
On the morning after Thaw kill
ed White the murderer asked that
Comstock visit him. Comstock COM
piled with the request and called
upon Thaw in his cell in the Tombs.
AS a result of this interview. it is
said, comstoclk was further con-
WINGED that Thaw was suffering
from temporary insanity.
While Attorney Littleton refuses
to say positively that Evelyn Thaw
viii be called to the stand, it is def
nitely known that the defense now
contemplates such action and that
the giri-wife will again tell the
tragic story of her life. Mr.. Brit
ton Evans, who coined the word
''brainstorm'' as describing Thaw's
mental condition at the time Of the
crime and made it known through
out the country, has again been en-
gagged to testify.
Both the prisoner and his wife
maintain their attitude Of comb
dence in an acquittal and express

BOTH SIDES THAW CASE
MISS SMoNToN, WHO PROMISES TO SOMETHING SEN
sATIoNAI THAT WILL FIX THAw" AND ANTHONY COM
STOCK, WHO DENOUNCED WHITE AS HUMAN BRUTE SUCK
ING BLOOD OF INNOCENT GIRLS" WILL TESTIFY

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Miss Ida
Simonton, the former close friend
and associate of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, is expected to be one of the
most sensational witnesses for the
prosecution at the trial of the MUIR
derer of Stanford White. Upon sew
eral occasions Miss Simonton has
publicly declared that she would
FIX Thaw," and her testimony
would have much to do with send
ing him to the electric chair.
The testimony of Miss Simonton
was very much desired by District
Attorney Jerome during the first
trial, but the young woman could
not be found and was reported to
have been in Africa. Now she has
returned to New York with blare
of newspaper trumpets. Miss Sim
onton was Evelyn Nesbitt's closest
friend before the marriage of the
latter with the 'Pittsburg million
aire She was called to Europe to
bring Mrs. G. ]. Holman, Evelyn
Thaw's mother, back to America at
the time Evelyn and Thaw were
making a merry tour of the conti-
nent. 1t is declared that Miss 81
monitor is familiar with many of
Thaw's escapades and alleged bru-
talities and that the story she will
have to tell upon the witness stand
will be spicy one.
Martin w. Littleton, chief coun-
sci for Thaw, scouts the idea that
Miss Simonton's testimony will
have any important bearing on the
the trial, and declares that her pub
lie statement that she would FIX
Thaw' is SUFFICIENT to condemn her
testimony in advance as being in
spired by malice 1t is known that
detectives for the defense have Of
late been engaged in ferreting out
Miss Simonton's history, and it is
intimated that they have discovered
facts that will tend to discredit her
as witness.
A new and important witness for
the defense viii be Anthony Com
stock, head Of the Society for the
Suppression Of Vice, and Thaw's at
torneys are confident that his testI-
mony viii be much to establish the

. Tozer does mot Advocate such a-step but he holds that the responsibility for it if it is taken will rest upon the books ofSyhat he calls "fleshly' fic- ton by would-be novelists, many of them obviously women'' who have lit tie experience and less ability as writ CTS His opinion that most of the ob- jectionable books are written by wO- men has called down on his head the wrath of number of women writers but its correctness is asserted by the majority of publishers here.
 One practical difficulty in the way of those who advocate a censorship is in determining what is to bar a book or play. On this point those who propose the official regulation of nov els and dramas are not agreed among themselves while outsiders who have discussed the subject are even more widely at sea. For instance Bishop DOene disapproves Mir. Phillips lat est novel because it takes ground against position I have always main tained, namely that remarriage after divorce never ought to be allowed by the church nor by the state, except
 
 On the other hand MT. Phillips re- torts that the churchmen who preach that divorce is worse than adultery, or at least that the former cannot be forgiven while the latter may be, do more injury to public morals than the novelist possibly can and that if We are to have censor he should pre- vent the circulation of such teachings. The head of one womans organization believes that all novels that present divorce in a favorable light should be suppressed while another womans club leader believes that women need to be educated to their right" to di- vorce. It is easy to see that the off cial censor, if one is ever appointed, will be in for trouble with the lady novelists and that the berth of base ball umpire will be a peaceful one by comparison with, his.

has been attacked for his frank manner in showing up some of the skeletons of American family life, because I don't subscribe to the theory that the way to cure a disease is to hide it. These good people who want to protect the American public against them
 selves would defeat their own ends if they succeeded in doing what they want to- It is not the province of the novelist as I see it to say whether the facts of life are good or bad, but sim ply to portray facts as faithfully as he can. The hot house theory of life never has worked and never will. have no patience with these shudder- ing women and feminine males who would close our eyes to all unpleasant sights. Their theory logically ex- pressed, is that evil is not evil if we disregard its existence. The truth is that if there is anything wrong in our social organization the way to remedy it is to sweep away the accumulated rubbish and expose it to the light of day.
 There is another side to this ques- tiOn also. How are we to know that the judgment of this official keeper of the public conscience we are asked to set up would be infallible? His opin- ions as to morality and immortality might be all wrong. This appeals to me because of an incident that my publishers related to me There is certain bookselling concern in one of the large cities which refused to han q 1a fnv New because the proprietors didn't approve my attitude on divorce. I'll cheerfully give them my receipts from the book down to date if they will tell me what is my attitude on divorce because I haven't any, or if I have I don't know myself what it is. But this same highly particular establish ment recently made an extensive dis
 play of a book which in my opinion had no claim whatever to attention except in it's highly colored appeal to sensual instincts. Now there is a se- rious difference of judgment-seriOus to me as a writer of novels at least, and possibly serious also to bOoksell- CTS. l may be entirely wrong in my opinion. bu Ht then again he may be wrong, or both of us may be. I pre- fer to leave the decision of such ques- | tions to the great body of right thinking and right-acting men and women who constitute the American
 reading public"
 "The most effective censorship" said Clyde Fitch, the playwright, who like MT. Phillips. has been one of the objects of recent attack, lis the cen sorhip of the public It is certainly effective and We are bound to admit that in the majority of cases it is right. In "The Woman in the Case" I was criticised for representing a wife as assOciating with a absolute women and pretending to be one her self in order to save her husbands life, but I defy any person of matured judgment to say that he came away 1 from that play without a feeling of respect and admiration for the woman who risked her reputation for the sake of her husband. Public morals are simply reflected on the tsage an dboth are improving all the time"
 One of the writers who believes that a fiction censorship is likely to be es- tablished both in the United States and in England is Bazil Tozer who contributes an article to the National Review setting forth his views. MT.

THE REGULATION
 OF THE N0VfLISTS
Greatest Official Censor to Pass on Books and Plays the Latest Propos- al.

New York May 13.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican, )-The agitation over the government super vision of the railroads, the curtailment of big fortunes, or the question of pure food regulation, is likely to be sur passed by the outcry for and against the establishment Of an official cen sOrship of books, magazines and plays under state or national authority, a proposal which is being advocated here and which it is proposed to urge in other parts of the country. The idea of an official body to decide what books Americans may read or what plays they shall see at first was treat ed as something of a joke, but those who favor the plan insist that they intend to carry forward their cam paign vigorously and already they have enlisted the support of a number of in fluential organizations and of promi- nent men and women.
 As a result publishers, writers, the atrical managers and playWrights are up in arms against the proposal. The amount of money invested in the pub fishing of books and magazines and the producing of plays runs up into the tens of millions, the greater part of which is represented by enterprises ceutering in New York. The subject, therfore, has an important commercial aspect aside from its moral bearings In sact it IS estimated that in New York alone ther are upwards of twen- ty-five thousand persons who derive their incomes from work connected in one way or another with the production of popular literature and this is eXclu- sive of those engaged in the purely mechanical side of the work.
 Those who are behind the move ment, however, say that they are not to be deterred by any arguments based on the possible money loss resulting from the adoption of their plan. They propose to secure the cooperation of various religious organizations, the w. C. T. U. and other bodies already in terested in the campaign for purity in literature and on the stage and hope to enlist the active interest of President Roosevelt who IS said to be in sym pathy with the idea. Their position is that divorce and other social evils which they believe to be undermining American family life are encouraged by the treatment of these subjects in current literature and on the stage. They assert that these books and plays on account of their claverness or the popularity of their authors cause peo- pie who would otherwise oppose these things to accept them as natural and inevitable and finally to regard them
