RELEASE THAW
To VISIT HIS
MOTHER
Judge Denies EveIyr's Former
Husband Will Be Permitted
to Go Abroad.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-Ru-
mors that Harry K. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White and DIVORCED
husband of Evelyn Nesbit, is to be
allowed to leave the Pennsylvania
Hospital for the Insane, known as
"Kirkbride's," for an extended trip
to Europe were denied yesterday at
the office of former Judge James
Gay Gordon.
1t was explained that Thaw is
merely to be permitted to visit his
mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw,
at her home in Pittsburgh for a
few days. Since he was committed
to the asylum, nearly seven years
ago, Thaw, under court order, has
made two such trips. AS on pre-
-vious occasions, he will be accom-
panied by guard, who will be
responsible for his return to the
institution on the date fixed by the
court. =
The petition for Thaw's temporary
release had not yet been presented
to Judge Martin, president judge of
common pleas No. S. 1t has been
sent to Pittsburgh for the signature
of Mrs. Thaw, the petitioner. Ac-
cording to counsel for Thaw, it is
more out of consideration for Mrs.
Thaw, who is now in her, eighty
first year, that her son has been
permitted by the court to visit her.
Mrs. Thaw was greatly consoled
by her sons two previous visits and
the prisoner himself, it is said, was
much benefited by few days cut
ing. change OF scene and the break
in the monotony. AS soon as the
petition is received with Mrs.
Thaw's signature Mr.. Gordon will
present it.
Thaw was committed to Kirk
brides as a lunatic April 20, 1917,
following an attempt at suicide
in house at Fifty-third and
Walnut streets, where he had con-
cealed himself, lodging warrant
issued for his arrest in New York
on a feloniouS assault charge. He
was taken to st. Mary's Hospital
here and thence to Kirkbrido's
after a commission in lunacy had
declared him insane.
Thaw'S estate, which approx
mated s240,0o0 when he was. COM
mitted, has increased in value and
the principal is now said to amount
70 more than $1,000.000. Most of
his investments are in Standard Oil
stock and Liberty bonds. Howard
Irish, wealthy coal operator. was
appointed co-trustee with Walther
Riddle, in place of J. Denniston
Lyon. a Pittsburgh banker, who
resigned last May.

MOSQUITO Is PRAISED
AS ASSET TO JERSEY

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 15.-
Rather than being a handicap to
the State, the Jersey mosquito has
brought New Jersey some MILLIONS
of dollars worth of publicity be-
cause of the numerous stories which
have been woven around the birds, -
according to delegates here for the
tenth annual convention of the
New Jersey Mosquito Extermina-
ton Association
The numerous stories have also
brought about the reclamation of
vast areas of marsh and other
waste lands which served as breed
ing places for the pests. New Jer-
sey was the pioneer State in mos.
quito determination and today leads
the nation.

blacksnake curled around his leg.

emerging from the du Pont building

Before the negro had run block
the snake, evidently just as badly
frightened as the negro, unwound
and fell to the pavement. But the
negro kept on running and hasn't

According to a traffic policeman,
the negro picked up a waste paper
can and was about to empty it into
his cart when some one shouted for
him to look at his leg. The negro
obeyed and spying the snake gave a
yell of terror and bolted. The snake
was killed by the traffic policeman.
