She was gowned in a severely plain
tailored costume and assumed other
mannish freaks in her dress.
An old lady who was very near
sighted entered the street car. The
mannish girl waited a moment, but
as no man signified his willingness
to give UP his seat, she rose and gave
hers to the old woman
Thank you, sir" said the other

THAW DISOWNS BOY
CALLS 1T IMPOSSIBLE; SEPA-
RATED FROM WIFE FIVE YEARS
Slayer Denies Parentage of Child
Which Sailed Aboard With
His Mother.

New York, May 5.-Harry X. Thaw,
in statement sent out from Mattea-
wan, denies ne is the father of the
boy that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took
abroad with her Saturday
In his statement Thaw says he is
not interested in his wife's concerns
in any way, that they no longer have
anything in common, that any pre-
tense that he is the father of the boy
born in 1910 is ridiculous and false,
and that he has been absolutely sepa-
rated from his wife for more than FIVE
years.
Following is Thaw's statement in
full:
Il am not interested in Mrs Eve
lyn' Nesbit Thaw's concerns in any
way, and did not know she was going
abroad. We no longer have anything
in common.
Any pretense that l have a child
born in 1910 is ridiculous and false, as
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and l have
been absolutely separated for more
than five years. You newspaper men
know this; consequently it is unnec-
essary for me to say more"
Mrs. TLaw indicated that the child
had been born abroad less than a
year after the time Thaw was at
White Plains fighting for his liberty.
He then was treated with every con-
sideration by the authorities. There
has been no breach between himself
and wife and he received frequent Wis
its from members of his family.

NO WAGE INCREASE BY ROADS
Trainmen's Demands Rejected by East
ern Carrers--EmpIoyes May
Modify Requests.

New York, May 3.-The conference
committee of managers rejected here
Thursday the demands of the con-
ductors and trainmen on the forty
three roads of the eastern district.
The managers committee call atten-
ton to the fact that in 1910 the rail
roads, in order to avert a strike, grant
ed the conductors and trainmen an
aggregate increase in wages Of $780,
100000. The present increase of ST.
100000, the roads point out. would be
equivalent TO placing on their proper
ties a lien of s425,000.0 G00 of per
cent. securities, the burden Of which
would fall upon the public
The trainmen and conductors may
at a later date modify their demands
upon the managers, or they may
elect to take a referendum strike vote
among their 100000 members.

ALIEN BILL PASSES
CALIFORNIA LAWMAKERS ADOPT
MEASURE WHICH is STRONG
LY OBJECTED TO BY JAPAN.
BRYAN MAKES A FINAL PLEA
Secretary of State on Behalf of Presl-
dent Wilson Demands That Webb
Law Be Submitted to the People
for Vote.

Sacramento, Cal, May 6.-By a vote
Of 26 TO the senate early Saturday
passed the Webb alien land ownership
bill and late at night the assembly
also adopted it. The bill only needs
the governors signature to become
law.
Only three votes were cast against
Democrat and two Republicans mem
bers opposing the bill on the final pas
sage. The roll call was held less than
twenty-four hours after the final pas
sage of the act in the senate.
Secretary of State Bryan concluded
his mission to the governor and leg
islature of California with a message
Of farewell To an open joint session
OF the two houses, attended by the
governor, he gave renewed assurances
of the friendly interest and co-opera-
tive attitude of the national admin
istration toward the peculiar problems
of California, transmitting the presi-
dents latest criticism of the alien
land act passed by the state senate
and rehearsing again those objections
already made public
In summing up, Secretary Bryan
I'ehearsed the objections and sugges-
tons Of the president, already made
public, and concluded:
Having performed the duty i'm
posed upon me by the chief executive
Of the nation my work is done. You
have listened patiently and courteous
ly and now the responsibility rests up
on you to do what you deem neces-
ray, recognizing as you doubtless do
that you act not only as the represen-
tatives of the state, dealing with lands
lying within the state, but as the rep
resentative of a state occupying
position among her sister states and
sharing with them an interest in and
responsibility for international rela-
tons.
You are fortunate in this state in
having the initiative and referendum.
The initiative spurs you on to do that
which you believe your people want
done. while the referendum empowers
those for whom you speak to put their
veto upon your acts If you fail to re-
fleet their wishes 1t may be assumed,
therefore, that If you feel IL your duty
to enact any legislation on this sub
ject at this time your people will
either manifest their approval by ac-
quiescence or their disapproval by
submitting your action to the judg-
Ilent of the voters by means of the
referendum.
Il leave you with renewed assur
ances of the presidents friendly con-
Germ in the subject with which you
are dealing and my appreciation of
the kind reception which you have &C
corded to me as his spokesman"
