THAW'S FORMER WIFE
FILES PETITION TO
BLOCK HIS RELEASE
Claims He Will Dissipate
Estate That Belongs
to Her Son.

Atlantic City, n. j., April RI
came back from hell for my baby,
and I'm not going to let his father
cheat him out of his chance now"
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw declared today.
Miss Nesbit, plaything of fate be-
fore and after her marriage to Har-
ry Thaw, sprang sensation today
whel her attorneys filed petition in
Philadelphia. asking permission to
show that Thaw still is insane and
that his release from n Pennsylvania
hospital would jeopardize the financial
interests of her son, Russell William
Thaw.
The move comes on the eve Of a
hearing before a jury to determine
the mental condition OF the million
aire, with a view TO obtaining his re-
lease from the asylum in which he has
been confined since the spring of
1917.
Evelyn Nesbit's petition re-opens an
argument which has endured since
1909 when Russell was born. She
claims Thaw is the boys father. He
has since denied paternity. Thus, at
the hour when Thnw. perpetrator of
the most sensational killing OF gen.
Grafton, seeks freedom after seven
years of confinement that followed an
other serious offense, his former wife
moves against him on behalf of a
child.
Owing to Thaw's mental state, he
is not fit to be Mt large and if he is
released from the hispital. he will dis
sipatc him own estate and that of his
father and thereby deprive his and my
own Russell William Thaw. of right
full inheritance of the estate" Evelyn's
petition reads.

washington. d. G.. April IA

Washington. ID. c.. April 12.-As
the climax to hours Of bitter partisan
debate, Senator Reed, Missouri, late
today introduced into the Senate a
resolution demanding that President
Coolidge's message TO the Senate for
a cessation of present methods of in
vestigation of executive departments
be stricken from the record. Senator
Reed would strike out also Secretary
of the Treasury Melons letter which
Mr.. Coolidge transmitted.
Reeds demand for the sxpunging
of the two documents was taken on
the ground that they constituted an
insult to the Senate. He made a Bit
ter speech in which he charged that
the administrations desire to stop
the investigation by a Senate com.
mittee of the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue, the specific inquiry to which
the President and Mellon objected
must have as its foundation some fear
of disclosure certain to come IL the
probe was permitted to continue.
Situation Is Complicated.
Reeds resolution complicated with
new bitterness a situation already
fraught with possibilities of an acute
break between the President and the
Senate. 1t made the issue between
Mr.. Coolidge and the Senate largely
a personal one, and, together with
Senator Jones' resolution giving the
revenue bureau investigation broader
powers, will form the subject of even
more heated debate next week.
1t is likely also, it was indicated
tonight, that the President and adj
ministration leaders will confer over
the weekend about the situation. Mr..
Coolidge is understood to. feel deeply;
in the matter and to regard the meth
DDS pursued in the Couzens inquiry
into Secretary of the Treasury Mel-'
Ions personal business connections as
SO far outside the proper sphere OF
senatorial investigation as to warrant
his taking the firmest possible stand
against its continuance.
May Command Support.
Senator Reeds resolution may COM
mand much support among the Demo-
Gratis and Progressives. though the
Republicans will fight it on the
ground that Mr.. Coolidge has as much
right to express his point of view in q
message to the Senate as the Senate
has to express its viewpoint as il
often does in resolutions addressed to
the President.
Altogether the situation presents a
serious menace to the completion OF
the necessary legislation in time to
permit adjournment early in June.
With the tax and bonus bills coming
before the Senate next week and the
immigration bill now pending. iniec-
ton of this new issue is held likely
TO be seized upon by opponents ct
all these measures 10 delay their pass

THE VOTERS ARE WAKING UP

The heaviest vote in the history
of the country was polled last Tues
day in the United States. 1t was
an emphatic expression on the part
of the people that they positively
did not want the election of Presi-
dent thrown into Congress. This
was feared for some time after La
Toilette and Wheeler, Republican
and Democrat respectively. united to
split the vote of both parties.
But ''the voice of the people is
the voice of God" And the voice
last Tuesday shouted to the echo
that this county has undying res
pect and confidence in Coolidge and
Dawes as leaders of the Government.
You can confidently expect one of
the most prosperous eras of the
country for the next four years at
least. 81
The uncertainty that has attended
the campaign just closed has caused
industry all over the country to cur
tail its activities. Business men have
hesitated to make investments I'M
til they were certain that sane
management of the country would
be guaranteed for the next four
years. Now they have that assur-
ance in Coolidge and Dawes, and
the entire country will benefit by

E D l T o RI A L S
ARE CHURCH SUPERsTITIONS
BLOCKING CHRISTIANITY?

In London last week, at the Con-
ference of Modern Churchmen, one
of the speakers was Prof. ]. s.
Haldane, of New College, Oxford,
and who is a brother Of England's
lord Chancellor. Prof. Haldane said
that Christianity is being seriously
harmed by the ancient dogmas main
tanned by the church, and which
are not in keeping with present
day knowledge.
"The churches cannot afford to be
hampered by unintellectual beliefs
which greatly weaken their influence
on those who are worth influencing
said Prof. Haldane. Religion stands
on ground which cannot be assailed;
it has no use for rickety defences.
l am one of many he continued,
"who are kept away from exist
ing churches by dogmas we cannot
honestly countenanee. There is, per-
haps a still larger number who are
actively hostile because they regard
churches as hotbeds of superstition.
Evidently Prof. Haldane was con-
sidered qualified to speak at the
Conference, or he would not have
been invited. And considering this,
his words should bear weight.

ALL TRUCKS SHOULD STOP


For the safety Of the travelling
public some regulation must be pro-
vided governing trucks at railroad
grade crossings.
California enacted law requiring
trucks engaged in commercial trans
portation to stop before crossing
which is good as far as it goes, but
it does not go far enough, as there
is equal danger as regards private
trucks which do not eor1e under
this law.
As instancing the danger, only
recently in California a through pas
senger train came near colliding
with concrete mixing machine
which had broken down on the cross
ing. What would have happened if
the engineer had not seen it in time
to stop his train which was travel
ing 80 miles an hour? In another
instance recently a heavy truck with
- trailer loaded with heavy machin-
cry came in view at the crossing,
the engineer applied brakes in emer-
gency and barely avoided what
would have been a disastrous col
lision.
mere must De some effective and
corrective regulations provided to
remove this danger, and the best
awy to do it is to make the law
that applies to and regulates com
mercial trucks apply to and regu-
late all trucks and heavy vehicles,
in all Manufacturer.
