by Evelyn Ne-hlt Thaw has caused
much discussion IN all circles in this
city. Coupled with this story Is a
bold statement that Mrs. Thaw has
been seen on numerous occasions in the
company of e. r, Thomas a millionaire
banker. Their appearance together
without chaperone at various cafes
. is taken to mean that there Is q clan
destine liason, though Mrs. Thomas
denies stoutly that II was her husband
who was with Mrs. Thaw
Another story afioat today Is that 1t
will be Harry Thaw who viii COM
mence the action for divorce, basing

Mrs, Thaw. Il would seem, keeps watch
on would-be intsfviewers and so far
has eluded all who would see her to
have her side CT the story.
IN BOHEMIAN RESORT.
The episode which is thought to have
been responsible for the publication of
the story, the latest In the tangled af-
fairs OF the young millionaire clubman
who finds himself an inmate of Mattea-
wan. Is said TO have occurred In the
Cafe Boulevard and later assumed
another phase in Little Hungary, a
rendezvous for the ultra bohemian
class among artists In many lines.
Max FISHER. manager OF the latter re-
sort, is credited with a statement in
which he is said to have told an inter
viewer that the couple described as
Mrs, Thaw and Mr.. Thomas came to
his resort in an automobile Monday
evening about IL o'clock. The little
woman was attired in black. He did
not note them particularly. but those
who profess TO be acquainted with all
the events concerning the pair say
that 1t was none other than the wife of
the slayer OF Stanford White and Mr..
Thomas.
A party of lawyers and their wives
who were at tables in the cafe Boule-
ward say that the woman was Mrs.
Thaw, but they did not identity the
man.
PITTSBURG NOT SURPRISED.
Dispatches from Pittsburg to this
city say that in that city no one is
surprised by the latest turn of AFFAIRS
In the Thaw family They point to q
discovery by the mother of Harry Thaw
as the first affair that caused an es-
arrangement. Mrs. Thaw is said TO have
discovered Evelyn in her boudor calmly
enjoying q foul odored Turkish cigar
to the elder Mrs Thaw that the former
chorus girl was no new devotee 10 the
art Of smoking.
Now that the trial Is over, 1t is de-
clared that Evelyn has been complete
ly estranged by the Thaw family, even
Harry Thaw having little regard for the
girl who unmasked her life and laid
her secrets bare to save him from the
electric chair. II is said that the only
thing Mrs. Trhaw will have In compen-
sation for telling her life's story in the
witness chair and subjecting herself to
the cruel thrusts from Mr.. Jerome Is
a liberal provision for her future finan-
cial needs. II Is said that an agree
nrent was entered into long before she
went on the stand whereby she was to
receive a large sum for the remainder
of her life. 1t Is said that at that time
it was recognized that no longer would
the relation of husband and wife be
permitted by Thaw's family.
Harry Thaw has denied himself to all
newspapermen and will not permit him
self to be seen by anyone desiring to
talk OF his divorce. Dan O'Reilly OF his
counsel and n personal friend aside
from his legal association with Thaw's
defense. has communicated to Thaw the
details of the published stories but Mr..
O'Reilly maintains n non-committal at

affecting the future of his client,
