EVELYN
CREATES STIR
CROWD sWARMED AROUND Wo-
MAN WHO LOOKED LIKE
THAW's WIFE.

PITTSBURG. May 21.-Business al
most came to a standstill in the union
station Thursday when it was an
nounced that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw of New York was seated in the
waiting room. The woman had come
as a passenger from a New York train,
and seated herself in the waiting room
until an elderly man called to take her
away. The woman was either Mrs.
Thaw or her double When approach
ed and asked If she was the wife OF
Harry Thaw, she said:
mo; although it is a good resem-
blance."
The strange woman enjoyed the
stare OF the hundreds of people who
were tipped OF to the effect that she
was Harry Thaw's wife. She did not
offer to seek refuge in the ladies'
waiting room. She carried small
Pomeranian dog, and was dressed very
fashionably. Word was passed around
among the clerks of the upper stories
of the station that Evelyn NesbitThaw
was down stairs, and the counting
rooms were deserted as the clerks
rushed to have a look at her. When
her companion joined her and was
asked if she was not Mrs. Thaw, he
III no."

ARBITRATION NOW
PROPOSED AS MEANS
OF SETTLING STRIKE
MANY CONFERENCES TO THIS
END HELD AND OUTLOOK
GOOD.
THEN ALL 60 BACK TO WORK
Governor Smith Said To Be in sympa-
thy With the Cause Of the strikers.
Their Demands are Just, ne IS
Quoted as Saying.

ATLANTA. May 26.-Arbitration
was the keynote of the strike situation
Tuesday. and as a result Of the many
conferences held during the afternoon
and evening it now looks like the
strike is near an end. and il is con-
fdentlv expected that trains will re-
sumo their schedules within forty
eight and possibly as early as twenty
four hours.
Commissioner OF Labor Neill arrived
in Atlanta about O'Clock Tuesday az
ternoon and shortly afterwards was in
conference with General Manager
Scott of the Georgia road at the Pied
mont Hotel. The conference lasted
for over an hour, but no statement was
given out when it was over.
Then Commissioner Neill called up
on Second Vice President Ball OF To
ronto. who heads the strikers, and
held a consultation over the situation
with him.
The impression prevails that while
Neilrs friendly offices will prove OF
value in bringing the two sides to-
gether. the actual work of arbitration
will be left to a board of Georg1ans,
as suggested by Gov. Smith.
The governor proposed that each
side appoint three prominent Geor-
gians TO act as board of mediation,
before which the strikers and the road
should appear and present their sides
of the situation.
Ball accepted and appointed John
Lee, president of the Farmers Union,
Congressman Hardwick and Judge
Horace Holden of the supreme court
of Georgia. The first two accepted,
but Judge Holden declined, saying
that the case might come into the
supreme court and then he would be
disqualified.
1t ID understood that Mr.. Scott made
persistent efforts to reach ex-Gov.
Northern, and it is believed that ne
wants him to be one Of the roads
arbitrator. Scott has been averse to
settling the strike In this way, but the
directors of the road, it is said, urged
this course upon him.
In the afternoon conference was
held at the capitol between GOV.
Smith Attorney General Hart, General
Manager Scott, Sanders Mcdaniel, one
of the Atlanta attorneys for the road,
and Maj. Cummins. who also repre-
sents the road. After 1t was over
Gov. Smith and Attorney General Hart
expressed themselves as gratif1ed at
the progress made and as feeling more
confident that the strike would be
settled.
According to the strikers, Gov.
Smith is in sympathy with their cause.
Tuesday night at strikers meet
ing the president Of the local union
declared that before the strike began
he went to the governor, Mayor Mad
dox of Atlanta and others, and stated
the cause of the fremen. He says
they all declared the firemen's cause
a lust one and their demands reason
able.
No trains have been running for
eighty hours, and the people along
the route of the Georgia who are with
out other means of getting their mail
and provisions and other necessities
are suffering as a result.
Atlanta and Augusta postofices are
badly congested by the immense
amount OF mail stuff not gent out.

FAMILY OF SLAYER OF WIN. e.
ANNis DECIDE TO BEGIN Pro-
cEEoINos-olsrRicT ATTORNEY
OPPOSES PLAN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.---The family
of Captain Peter c. Hams, now in jail
at Long Island city awaiting trial for
the murder Of William E Annis at the
Bayside Yacht club, on Aug. Is last.
today decided to endeavor TO have him
sent to Matteawan without trial In
court and without further delay.
Thornton Hams called on Lawyer
Joseph A. Shay today and after con.
ference started for Washington To get
his father, Gen. Hams. He will re-
turn with the general to New York
Immediately and the two will confer
with John F. Mcintyre and Mr.. Shay
on the method of procedure.
Mr.. Shay said that there was ample
precedent for an application for
lunacy commission In such a case, the
application to be made direct to the
supreme court. No effort will be made
10 show that Captain Hams is now
sane. The commission will be pre-
sented with evidence TO show that the
captain was insane at the time he
killed Annis and has been insane ever
since. Should the commission thus
find, counsel for the Hams family will
then ask that he be sent forthwith 10
Matteawan and that the indictments
charging murder be quashed as under
the laws OF New York II is impossible
for an insane man to commit a crime.
District Attorney De Witt, OF
Queens county. has already expressed
himself as being opposed to the APP
pointment OF commission before the,
trial for murder Is actually begun He
seek to block the move OF the Hams
family.
With Captain Hams declared insane
during the period just before the kill
ing OF Annis until this time and with
the indictments against him quashed,
1t will be possible for him TO be taken
from Matteawan whenever II can be
proved on habeas corpus proceedings
that he has recovered his sanity.
The point of crisis in the fate OF
Cal tain Hams will come when the
commission passes on his form OF In
sanity committal TO Matteawan
for paranoia would mean lifetime in
the asylum, az the experts agree that
paranoia is incurable.

ton made today by Captain Thomas

City OF Everett.
IF Capt. Sealby had accepted the
aid | offered him Immediately after
the collision with the Florida on Sat
urday last, the ship would be safe In
port now. and the cargo and the ef-
fects Of the passengers would have
been saved, beyond the shadow Of a
doubt" said Capt. Fenton.
THE ship that Ia under my COM
mand contains some of the most pow
erful apparatus for wrecking purposes
afioat. Our pumps have a capacity Of
10000 barrels. or 100000 gallons. an

These little government boats could
have towed a rowooat as well as they
could have towed that big liner. We
offered our assistance, mind you, at
$3.50 o'clock that evening. We could
have worked all night. All 1t would
have cost the White Star Line would
have been about $4,000. As 1t was.

THE first intimation that we had OF
anything wrong was a wireless mos
sage from the Nantucket lightship
We have DeForest instrument on the
City OF Everett. and there was an
other on the barge we had In tow. We
put about at once and cruised toward
the scene of the wreck.
Messages OF still afioat' kept COM
ing and finally we received word
that the passengers had been trans
ferred to the Florida. At $3.50 o'clock
we ran alongside the Republic and l
offered the use OF my, ,outfit to Capt
Sealby. He answered that he needed
no assistance whatever. but asked us
TO go TO the Florida as all his passen-
gers were on board that boat. At $3.50
o'clock we ran alongside the Florida.
Men and women cried to us from
the liner and offered US large sums OF
money IL we would only take them
of. When my first officer. Mr.. Tucker.
went on board the Florida her first
officer handed him a blackjack and
told him to use II on the passengers

DOESN'T DIRECTLY ACCUSE PAR
AMOUR BUT STORY coRRoHoR-
ATEs HERs-WoMAN INSISTS
TWAS SHE WHO FIRED.

Carl Wellington, charged with
shooting Ed Powers, took the stand
In his own behalf In Judge Phelan's
court. Wednesday morning, and denied
all responsibility for the crime. He
did not directly accuse the woman.
Lena Wellington, alias Bessie Kay,
alias Lena Groves, who. Tuesday af-
ternoon, declared positively that she
shot Powers, but his story tended TO
corroborate the woman's In every i'm.
portant detail
Powers struck Lena In the face
with his fist" Wellington testified, In
telling Of the trouble Immediately pre-
ceding the shooting at Michigan.ave.
and Griswold.st Right after that the
gun was discharged Il all happened
within q second after he hit her"
did you fire that shot" Attorney
Kennedy asked the witness.
No" And the answer was EN-
phatic.
Did you have the gun that night ?"
mo. not until after the shooting"
After the shot was fred what did
the woman do?"
She handed the gun to me"
Wellington said he did not know at
first whether Powers or the woman
had been shot.
Wellington was still under cross
examination by Prosecutor Van Zile
when the noon recess was announced.
The prosecutor, thus far. has been UNI
able TO shake his story
The Groves woman finally asserted.
unequivocally, Tuesday afternoon, that
she was responsible for the shooting.
Il shot Powers and Powers knows
it, she said Il am not trying to
shield Carl. | am only telling the
truth"
However, Prosecutor Van Zile does
not appear 10 be much impressed by
the woman's story
A. VI. Smith, the prosecutions new
witness, followed the woman on the
stand. He rushed from "A neighboring
drug store on hearing the shot and
caught Powers In his arms As Pow
ers sang to the pavement he said. ac-
