Friends Plan Benefit.
by international News Service,

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Evelyn
Nesbit, former wife of Harry X:
Thaw, who yesterday attempted
suicide by taking morphine, was
reported to be out of danger to-
day. A report from her Fifty-sec-
ond street apartment, over the
Evelyn Nesbit Speciality Shop, said
she was getting along well but had
not spoken of her act.
Art Sale Nets $4,000.
Unknown to her. $4,000 had been
realized from the sale OF Miss Nesbit s
objects dart within the last two days,
enough to tide her over the financial
difficulties which caused her to at
tempt to take her life, it was learned
today.
Miss Nesbit's mother arrived here
from Pittsburgh today. She found her
daughter sleeping peacefully and
rapidly recovering.
Friends of the former actress were
planning steps to redeve her financial
distress. 1t was reported that a
Theatrical benefit might be given.
\ What probably saved Miss Ncsbits =
Efe was that she telephoned the fact
lof having taken the narcotic TO city
marshal who at that moment was
waiting to cart away the furniture OF
her tearoom for failure to pay her
rent
The seizure of her furniture by City
Marshal William Kelly was apparently
the reason for Miss Nesbit's attempt
on her life.
Rents From Shuberts.
The building in which she has her
tea place and her home two flights
above it is rented to her by the Shu-
berts. There is a matter of 5000 past
due for a months rent and yesterdily
Marshal Kelly was sent TO take The
furnishings of the tehOom.

she had attempted they granted he- :,

of controlling the worlds seas, an idea
that Is one of the foremost dangers
to peace.
What makes her instinct on that
subject so strong is the fear of starva-
ton. Her population cannot be fed
on the island itself. Therefore her
young men go out over the world and
control the undeveloped regions. Cut
her off from the rest of the world and
she starves.
So II was with Germany before
1914. Germany did not feed her popu-
lation at home. She had to feed a
large part of il by importation. Her
drive from Hamburg to Bagdad was
caused by the need of trade, which
trade means to her being fed by some
body else.
Japan Near Danger Point.
Likewise with Japan. There are ar
guments about how near she has al

Upsets Americans.
Many Americans are rather upset
by the mere mention of such a sub

religious beliefs that bear on the topic.
Perhaps they do not understand that
nobody intends to force any thought
or any course of conduct on any single
human creature. Those whose religion
opposes birth control will in no way
be intruded on. Everybody on both
sides will be free.
Others think the whole subject is

Anthony Comstock was a busy gen.

Will Hays Is an interesting figure
in this government. He is not afraid

official peculiar. He is now studying

see which ones are more interfering

WILSON SHOWS INTEREST
IN SAVING SECURITIES

According to the official report
recently completed by the Wilson
Postmaster, the sales of government
savings securities amounted to $11O.-
21 here last month. The report, which
has been sent to Washington, a trans
cript being furnished the Government
Savings Organization OF this district,
seems to indicate, as does that for
the state at large, increasing interest
in savings and safe investments
The accounting post offices in all
sections of the state of North Caro-
lima show that last month the total
reported sales. in round numbers,
were $3,996.99 this volume being due
in large measure, it is said, to the
new investment possibilities-the
81 Treasury Savings Stamp and the
$25 interest-bearing Treasury Saw
ings rtificates-offered by the Uni
ted States Treasury Department this
year for the first time.
