Plans To Establish Home
on Coast for Herself
and Husband-Sure
He will Be Freed.
tBy United Press Leased Wire.l

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 25
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, wife OF
Harry X. Thaw, stayed at the Ry-
an hotel in st. Paul all last week
under the assumed name of Julie
Allen, according to the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. She left for Spo-
kane Saturday night, to remain
for a time with her grandmother.
Mrs. Thaw has sought while
here to avoid newspaper publicity.
She said that she had been walt
ing here for the arrival Of friends
from Winnipeg, who would accom-
pany her on trip to the coast.
To Establish Home.
Mrs. Thaw admitted her identity
and said that her object in going
west was to establish a home for
herself and husband on the pre-
sumption that he would be ad-
judged sane and discharged.
Mrs. Thaw said: Il am sure
that Mr.. Thaw is perfectly sane
and that he will eventually be dis
charged. When he is, of course
we want to live in some city
where we can escape the notoriety
and publicity that will surround
us for some time"
To Stand BY Husband.
From the tone of her statement
it seems apparent that Evelyn
Nesbit still thinks kindly of Harry
Thaw and that she has decided to
stand by him in the event he is
discharged.
Knowing that the former chorus
girl was in the city, Mort H. Sin
ger, owner of the Girl at the
Helm" company, wired his agent
here to offer her $500 for part
in show"
When asked If she would accept
the offer, Mrs. Thaw said:
'It is perfectly ridiculous. ]
have no intention of returning to
the STAGE"

GAMBLING
EVIL HIT
HARD
Ministers Sound Strong
Protest Against All
Kinds of Games
of Chance.
DICE THROWING IS
PUT UNDER the BAN

Tacoma pulpits thundered
against gambling yesterday in the
crusade to awaken the public con-
science and secure the passage at
Olympia of the Hanson anti-race-
track gambling bill
Anything which induces men
to risk their money or property
without any other hope Of re-
turn than to get for nothing any
given amount from another, Is
gambling" said DR.. Frederick +.
Webb, quoting Chief Justice
Thompson of Pennsylvania, in hts
sermon at st. Luke's Episcopal
church, and not only DR.. Webb
but nearly every other minister
and some of the laymen in Taco
ma yesterday lifted their voices
against the evil.
Denounces Dice Throwing.
"Many a hardened gambler be-
gan by matching pennies with his
friends" said Herbert Judson
White at the First Baptist church.
1.-THE dicing for cigars that Is seen
in every stand on the street is one
of the open doors to hell. I would
not feel safe as an employer to
confide much responsibility in the
hands of one who gambled IN
these so-called trivial games"
Gambling is stealing. 1t is
worse than stealing. It Is moral
and spiritual suicide. 1t is In
herently wrong. 1t is insidtous
and vicious and destructive 10
morality and honesty" rang the
denunciations from the various
pulpits of the city.
AS the result of the concerted
bombardment of the gambling
evil a profound impression was
made on the public mind in IA
coma and much comment has been
aroused. A strong delegation Will
probably go from here to Olympia
to boost the Hanson bill and tie
sentiment aroused may go farther
and tackle some of the petty
gambling games that are now az
lowed to go unmolested in this
city.
No Big Gambling Here.
Since the recent raid on a
poker game when six white men
and two negroes were captured
and later convicted there has baen
little or no big gambling, but dice
throwing for cigars and pool play
ing for small sums are still al
lowed and the ministers yesterday
protested against these.
In practically all the churches
the sermons of the ministers
stirred up great enthusiasm IN
the anti-gambling crusade and the
Pierce county Legislators at Olym-
pia will be apt to hear from Ia
coma this week as result Of the
Sunday meetings.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 25.-This will
be a week of legislative pyrotech-
mics, in which all sorts of oratorl-
cal skyrockets, Chinese bombs,
squibs and pin-wheels will be shot
off for the benefit of the voting
public. The occasion for this
grand glorious and stupendous dis
play will be the local option and
the racetrack bills, both Of which
are considered of some import
just now.
The local option bill has the
first call for action and then
the house promises to be scene
of sanguinary encounter for the
next few days. The liquor forces
after the drubbing they received
in the committee last Friday are
desperate and ready for any 100 to
1 chance that may present itself.
In moments of forboding conf
dence they will tell their visions
of a state of Washington as dry
as an Arizona desert. And they
are not blaming the church peo-
pie, the white ribbon brigade or
the w. G. T. U. 1t is on the
heads of the men who stand out
side the mahogany and drink that
the wet" maledictions are being
heaped with cumulating vehem-
ence.
"IIl tell you," said one of the
despairing "wet" lobbyists, "that
in Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane,
Walla Walla, Bellingham or any
other cities ever get a chance to
vote they'll vote dry. They'll wish
they hadn't before long, but they'd
do 1t now. It's wave that IS
spreading over the country, and
it's the men who like their drink
who are helping it along"
Despite their lost cause walls
the "wets" haven't ceased to work
even when they received their
hardest setback of the season.
the failure of the senate caucus.
They are right up and at it, for
they realize that 1t is the last
ditch with them.
The racetrack measure comes
up later in the week, and there
may or may not be a fight on It,,
with the chances In favor Of a
tremblor when Hanson begins to
have his say. The bill received
a chronological setback by the
public morals committee, not be-
cause of any opposition to the
measure, but because the local
option people fear delay more
than anything else. They know
that there is a filibustering cam
paign being planned and their one
thought and purpose is to get To-
cal option settled. Once the decks
of the house are cleared of this
Hanson and his bill may have the
floor to their hearts content.

ON IN
TOWN Of
MIL TON
Council Goes On Warpath
and Decides to Make
the Community
"Wet."
MEDICATION MEETING
HELD BY WOMEN

The staid and quiet little town
of Milton is torn by a factional
row that threatens to embrace the
whole United States.
The town council, desiring to
wet its whistle, has defied the
people, the mayor and the United
States government and has grant
ed a license for a saloon.
For nerly two years Milton has
been dry.
In the recent election new men
were chosen on the council and 1t
stood 4 to 1 wet.
Saturday night the saloon ques-
tion came up. Councilman r. e.
Bender led the license fight and
the license was granted for 5000
"a year.
Special Inspector Miller of the
United States government was
present at the meeting and gave
notice that the government would
not countenance the placing of sa-
looms in the reservation territory
and If 1t was done there would be
no appropriation for the improve.
ments desired.
ITO h. with the government
shouted Bender in the ecstasy OF
victory.
Then the people of Milton pre-
sented long petition of remon-
STRANGE signed by 10 persons.
Bender slammed It down on the
table declaring he did not care
for their remonstrance. "It's got
nothing but old women on 1t any
way and IL they think they can
ram religion down the throats or
the. city council they are mistak-
en-" he howled.
When the Milton ladies heard
how things had gone In the coun-
Gil they got together in an indignr-
tion meeting yesterday. Now there
are things doing in Milton. An
indignation of women is no child's
play and If that saloon starts IN
Milton there may be a whole COM
munity of Carrie Nations out.
The council is also at logger
heads with the mayor and has re-
fused to confirm his appointments
and tried to make some of its own,

HOUSE
LOCAL OPTION BILL LOSES IN
FIRST ROUND - PALMER
AND DAVIS ENGAGE IN VER-
BAL CLASH, AND LIE is
PASSED.
BOTH BIG MORAL
ISSUES up THIS week
(Times Special Seryice.l

OLYMPIA. Jan. 25.-There was
warm time in the house this
morning. First the anti-saloon
bill lost in the first round of the
contest and by a vote of Al to 45
was referred to the judiciary COM
mittee instead of being made a
special order of business for to-
morrow. Then the lie was pass
ed between Representatives Pal
mer and Davis. Davis made a
speech in which he intimated that
Palmer was objecting to the anti
saloon bill as he had one favoring
the liquor interests.
Immediately Palmer was on his
feet and called Davis that short
ugly word, which means fight In
some localities. Palmer said ne
was not working for the saloon
people, never touched liquor and
did not even drink tea or coffee.
Members of the house prevented
further trouble.
Senator Hutchinson of Spokane
introduced a bill to do away with
the board Of control.
