ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June o.
The Thaws appear to have buried
the hatchet.
Harry K. Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit,
the wife over whom he killed Stan
ford White, appeared to have re-
sumed the role Of friends again to-
day after almost twenty years. With
them was their young son, Russell
Thaw, whose paternity Thaw ques-
toned when he and Evelyn were d.
vorced.
Both refused to discuss whether
they had effected a complete recon
ciliation or had simply decided to
end the state of armed neutrality"
which had kept them apart.
Atlantic City was astonished Fri
day night when Thaw, Evelyn and
Russell, with a lawyer, appeared at
a big hotel and dined together.
The purpose of the meeting, both
Evelyn and Thaw declared, was. to
frame a strong denial of a Chicago
story that boy named Russell
Thaw had entertained several COM
panions in a lavish fashion and ne
elected to pay his hotel bill.
There have been many troubles,
but this is too cruel, for my son has
.never been in Chicago except when

DEATH RATE
ON INCREASE
City Officials Figures Show
Demon Rum Is Taking
More Lives.

Deaths from acute alcoholism in
Indianapolis have increased almost
from year to year since the advent
of national prohibition in 1919, ac-
cording to records of C. Tom John
son, board of health statistician.
From a low mark of ga death for
100000 population in 219. the
graphic chart shows an increase up
to 3.2S in 1925.
Decrease i'm 1919
In 1919 when Indianapolis citizens
took prohibition rather seriously the
deaths were decreasing. but in 1920
they had mounted to I.59.
AS the bootleggers began produc-
ing their death-dealing liquor sub
stitutes, the rate rose to 307 in
1921. Brands of spirits evidently i'm
proved during 1922 and 1928. for
there were drops to 800 and 2.04 in
those years.
Continues High
In the presidential campaign year
Of 1924, however, there was an in
crease of $40 and in 1925 it con-
tinued high at 1928.
Only a few feet away from John
son, Jesse r. Dunwoody, city chem
list, spends much of his time testing
atrocious liquids con1scated in police
raids.
People who drink some OF this
stuff are taking their lives in their
hands," Dunwoody has said.
