An Owe RDOSE Of
MORP H|NE TAKEN
BY MISS NESBIT
Former Wife of Harry K.
ThaW Swallows Poison
When About to Be EviCt-
ed for Not Paying Rent.
tBy The Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 2S.-Evelyn Mes
bit was resting comfortably tonight
after taking an overdose of NOR
phine when a city marshal began
moving furniture from her apart
ment.
1t was a vivid day in the life of
Miss Nesbit. once the wife of Harry
X. Thaw, later the wife of a
dancer, Jack Clifford. and now
Evelyn Nesbit again. no longer a
dancer herself but owner of a tea
room in the theater district.
Her financial distress, which
caused all the excitement today,
came to light. a month ago when
q city marshal appeared at her tea
room with an eviction warrant,
Miss Nesbit arranged to pay over
due rent on the $500 a month tea
room and her $50 a month apart
ment upstairs. The marshal went
away.
Today another came on similar
mission and began taking furniture
out to the street while Miss Nesbit
sobbed, wrung her hands and fran
tically called her lawyer on the
telephone. The lawyer obtained
truce for a few hours with the
landlord. and Miss Nesbit began
calling friends in the hope of rails
ing some cash. In this she failed.
The tclegraphed her mother in
Philadelphia, and a few minutes
afterward leaned out of the win
dow and screamed.
1--WE taken enough poison to kill
twenty persons" she yelled to the
marshal, falling back with the cry
that she was going to die.
An ambulance surgeon came
quickly and used a stomach pump.
The landlord on hearing about
the episode announced he would
wait until noon next Monday be-
fore pressing for the enforcement
of the eviction warrant.

Bic Cocoanut Allotment
Held in Warehouses

PANAMA, July 2.-It is estimat-
ed that million cocoanuts are
stored at various warehouses in this
city and Colon, awaiting shipment to
the United States or Europe. On the
present market they cannot be sold
They are Of the highest quality, and
are used principally in the manufac-
ture of candy or of shredded cocoa.
A year ago these nuts would have
sold quickly at from IS to 81 a hun
bred, but now there is no demand for
them at So a hundred. Some of the
nuts collected within the past six
months have been dried in the sun
and are available for sale as copra,
but most of them are still in the
shell awaiting any offer. The rainy
season has come, making further
drying in the open air impossible.
One of the richer haciendas is pur-
chasing artificial driers with the end
in view of making copra and storing
it until better price can be pro-
cured.
The people of Panama most affect
ed by the slump in the cocoanut mar
ket are the San Bias Indians, a tribe
whose country has never been eX-
plotted by the white man. They do
not know there has been world war,
preston; they only know that the
traders no longer come to their coasts
to carry away nuts and leave food
and clothing. All this trade is done
by bareer, and when cocoanuts are
in demand fifty small schooners ply

Charges of Chinese
Girl Slave Traffic
In Los Angeles, Cal.

DES MONIES, Ia, July 2.-That
Chinese slave girl traffic is going
on right under the noses of our city
officials was the statement made by
DR.. Charles R. Shepherd, of Los An
geles, Cal, general missionary
among the Orientals, at the Northern
Baptist convention in this city today
ct know from personal experience
and not from hearsay that this is a
fact" he declared, citing the instance
of Chinese girl, sixteen years old,
sold in San Francisco for $4,000.
In speaking of the tongs of the
country, Dr.. Shepherd said, "These
tongs are not only an insult to the
churches of America, they are an in
suit to the great Masonic order. Over
the entryway of one of the bloodiest
and most powerful fighting tongs in
America, is a sign 'Bing King Tong,
Free Masons.' 1t masquerades as q
Masonic lodge, while it is made up
of those who engage in the traffic in
Chinese girls, who labor to frus-
trate our laws, who plan bloody muir
der, and pay professional assassins
to carry out their plans"
The Chinese, as whole, make
good citizens, however, DR.. Shepherd
maintained. The better class among
them own their own homes, partici-
pate in community affairs, and throw
themselves into all great national
movements he said
