Thaw. slayer of Stanford White
slashed his throat and wrists here this
afternoon as detectives were about to
arrest him to answer an indictment in
New York charging that he whipped
l9 year old Frederick Gump of Kansas
City.
Bleeding profusely from deeI
wounds, he was found in the home OF
Mrs. Elizabeth Taco, $500 Walnut
street.
Thaw had been taken to the home OF
Mrs. Taco several days ago by friends
and introduced to her as Harry Wood
She agreed to rent him a room on the
first floor.
She went to the room today ant
found him lying across a bed with .
bloodstained razor in his hand.
Thaw's condition became such that
she feared longer to shield his identity
Detectives had completely sur
rounded the house after tracing Thaw
there. The fugitive had evidently
been watching the net close about him

Allied Reply to President
Wilson Has Made Their
Position Clear

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Jan. 1l.-Premier Lloyd
George today told cheering thousands
in Guild hall that the allies had reach
ed the grim determination to rid the
world of unspeakable despotism''
" With proper support, y he declared,
"our gallant armies will cleave the road
to victory during 1917. -
In the most important utteranee com
ing from the head of the British gov
ernment since, his recent speech in the
house of commons, Lloyd-George de-
clared President Wilson had been in
formed that all desired peace but the
war was preferable to Prussian domina-

today as an attractive investment which
demonstrated the nations continued

crowd that greeted the premier a. he de-
livered his speech, his first since the
epochal address in the house of COM
mons voicing England's refusal Of Ger
many's peace terms and outlining the
aids and purposes of his new ministry.
The meeting itself was called to enerp-
ize the gathering of subscriptions for
the twin the war loanv and Lloyd
George took the opportunity to reitcrate
England s determination to win the
war.
"The Prussian menace is a running
mortgage detracting from our national
security" I" Lloyd-George declared.
'fIt will be cleared off forever at a
better rate of interest. "
The British premier said he had been
impressed at the recent conference over
the tincreasing extent to which allied
peoples were looking toward England. -

tinued, "that Britain win not fail in

He was placed Immediately on the

He had evidently taken great care in
cutting himself, for the main arteries
had been slashed in the wrist. The
cut in his throat was not sufficiently
deep to prevent it being treated in the
ambulance.
Unable to Make Statement.
Efforts to arouse Thaw sufficiently
to make statement to the police
proved futile. A police guard was put
at his bed. If he reeovers he will be
arrested and held here for the New
York authorities.
Thaw went TO the Taco home at
10:30 o'clock this morning and begged
the woman to permit hi5r to remain a
while. Realizing the consequences of
such an act should the police find the
fugitive in her home, Mrs. Taco called
Moloney and asked his advice.
Arranged For His Arrest.
Moloney is now employed by a
private detective agency. Shortly
afternoon. he. went to detective head
quarters and arranged for the delivery
of Thaw to the authorities. Thaw is
supposed to, have agreed to surrender.
At the last minute, as he saw the de-
tective Gordon forming around the
house, Thaw slashed himself.
Neither Mrs. Taco nor Moloney saw
the act, they said, and as yet no steps
have been taken for holding them as
witnesses.
About a year ago Thaw was in an
automobile accident near the house III
which he tried to end his life today.
Police believe he met Mrs. Taco then,
for. since that time he has been seen
frequently in the neighborhood.
Believing detectives would not think
to look for him in the Walbut street
address, Thaw probably hid there while
his attorneys prepared his defense or
friends arranged to send him out of the
country.

charge of kidnapping and flogging 49,
yearold Frederick Gump, Jr., of Kan

Following his release from Mattea-

quainted with young Gump. Charges

Gump was flogged three times, it was
charged, in the Hotel McAlpin, after
which the young man fled to his home
in Kansas City.
1t became known that criminal ac-
tion against Thaw was intended and
the man who has appeared as sensa.
| tional figure in half dozen or more
court proceedings, dropped completely
from view.
Although he was one of the best
known men in America, with a criminal
record well known to every police de-
partment, it was impossible to get even
a line on his whereabouts. He was gone
as completely as if he had vanished into
the air.
His attempt at suicide was the first
definite word heard from him since his

Coffe and Doughnut Squads


Washington, Jan. 1l.-Coffee and
doughnut squads were organized today
by Congressional Union officials as an
adjunct, or supporting force to the 81
lent suffrage sentinels who today con-
tinued their rather chilly task of pick
citing the white house. With a hep-hep
ana left-footrigh ght-foot, the sentinels
marched out from Congressional Union
barracks, within sight of the white
house, and at 10 o clock took up their
posts at the east and west gates, with
tseven foot banners Hopping and whip
ping in the January gale.
If the suffragettes anticipated any
thrills attendant upon trouble with the
police, they were doomed to disappoint-
ment today when Major Pullman, police
chief, announced he would not inter
fere with them as long as they went no
further than they did yesterday.
In fact, policemen on the white house
beat were annoyingly kind. They per-
sisted in making all sorts of kindly sug-
gestions as to pavement pounding which
are inclined to make it easier for the
feet that are doing the pounding.
| When the guard went on duty the
temperature was way below freezing.
Asked how they would endure theScold,

Physician

A wise old doctor once gave this advice to
a class of young physicians: 81 am afraid our
barbarous method of writing prescriptions in \
what is sometimes called Latin with the old
astrological sign of Jupiter at the head of
them, to bring good luck, may have helped
to swell the list of casualties. | am much
disposed to think good plain English written
out at full length, Is good enough for any
body's USE"
And had the Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table lived in Nevada in this day, he doubt
less would have further advised them to
prescribe
MYROT HAMS AND BACON
as the choicest meats to buy-the sweetest,
freshest cured and most healthful. Those
are plain American words-understandable,
and when written on grocers' orders are
sure to bring good luck to the home of your
friends.
Your patients have faith in what you pre-
scribe; that's why we are so anxious to have
you order MAYROSE Hams and Bacon for
your own then you can more conf
IDENTIFY prescribe them as a means of keeping
in good health those families.
Yours for good health,
