Action Brought On Grounds That Hus
band Was Insane at the Time of Mar-
I riage-He Will fight As Fears Indefi-
nate Incarceration in Matteawan
New York, March 11. The f die
Is cast In the Thaw domestic com
plications and the family skeleton
is out of the closet and dancing on
the grave of all that 'remains of al
leged connubial bliss. Papers were
filed today by Evelyn Nesblt Thaw
asking that her marriage with Thaw
be annulled on the ground that the
Inmate' of Matteawan was Insane at
the time of his marriage. This step
was taken In the face of a direct de
nial last night that the divorce was
sought.
- Daniel O'Reilly, attorney for Eve
lyn Thaw, filed the papers and In
them was specified that Thaw was
always weak and nervous In temper
ament and Beldom himself, plainly
indicating that he was pf unsound
mind and that the marriage of the
pair had never been, happy.
Harry Thaw will fight the divorce
proceedings that he may be able to
prove that' the allegations of flls
Jiavlng been Insane at' the time of
. marriage are entirely false. .He and

mean that release from his incarcer
atlon In Matteawan would be Indefi
nitely postponed. Thaw did not
v seem to be much downcast by the
step taken by his butterfly wife, his
coarse nature being too tnicK-niaea
to admit of any very noticeable ex
nrAHSlOIlH UI BUI tun.
, EVelyn Nesblt Thaw is apparently In
h. hannlest of moods. It is nenevea
here that she never cared for her hus
band and that her dramatic exhibitions
of child-like innocence on the witness
Btand and her loving, pathetic glances
at the prisoner during tha trial for his
life were the well-recited ystudles of a
person who has mora love for cheap
drama than that which is good in life.

i. .aHa..o nhr Klie will remain iur
several months, as she is not in very
good health, the strain of the trial
proving too much for her. Evelyn, it is
reported, has been promised a large
sum of money by a cal wW.r

that she can make her own "vine, al

ble killing which the police declare
to have been a murder and suicide
occurred here this morning and re
sulted in the death of Sarah Cham

on on herself.
Both women were in their thir
ties. They were found dead In the
same bed by students of the. school

after hearing the shots. The young
women had been friends since their

escaped and came to her friend's

tired and nothing more was heard
until the shots were fired.

There had been bad feeling between
Hyde and Kemp for some time, but
their friends did not realize that the
feud might have a fatal ending until

The golden spike was driven this
morning at a ceremony that - took
place near Stevenson, Washington
Governor Mead of Washington pre
siding and having as his right hand
man Governor Chamberlain of Ore
gon. The great Inland Empire wlH
be tapped by this line and the
wealth of the farms and ranges
brought down grade to Portland.
Next Monday the road, officially
known ds the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle, will be running regular
daily passenger trains between Van
couver and Pasco. Vancouver is to
day rejoicing and her future as a
city seems outlined in splendid pos
Bibilltles.
The length of the completed road is
221 miles. The passenger train schedule
will provide for a train leaving Van
couver at 9 a. m., arriving at Pasco
at 5 p. m.; and a train leaving Pasco
at 11 a, m. will arrive at Vancouver
at 7 p. m. The service will be local.
and for the present no transcontinental
trains will be routed over this track.
The passenger trains will connect with
the Northern Pacific's through passen
ger trains at Pasco and also at Van
couver. Passengers desiring to go over
this route from Portland will take the
electric line and ferry between Port
land and Vancouver. The question of
routlnar transcontinental freight over
the new line Is now under consideration,
and will be determined within a few
days.
Fa sco to Spokane.
The SDokane. Portland & Seattle rail
road is surveyed and under construction
straight through from Pasco to Spokane.
JLarge forces of graders are at work
on tha line east from Pasco, and the
entire road will be completed to Spo
kane this year. When It is done the
time of present passenger travel be
tween Portland and Spokane will be
radically reduced. The present tlmo
made by the O. R. & N. company's
Spokane flyer will be beaten six or
seven hours by the north bank road. It
is said the prospect of this sweeping
competion coming within the next 12
months is spurring the Harrlman com
pany to rebuild and straighten Its main
me irom joruiinu iwiu.
The north bank road Is expected to
work a revolution In transportation
service between Portland and eastern
Washington and the west part of Mon
tana. It will also have a very potent
influence on transportation service be
tween Portland and the Lewlston coun
try, for the Northern Pacific ' rallro'!
Is supposed ta.aws half interest In
the recently constructed first-class rail
road between Riparla and Lew Is ton. :
First Class XJne.
The ultimate opening of a complete
first-class railroad of tne heaviest con
struction and almost a level grade en
a straight line between Portland and
Spokane will, it is said, bring to Port
land millions of dollars of trade that is
now going via the Northern Pacific
to the sound cities. The quicker tlmt
ami easy haul down the Columbia river
to Portland will result in the 'move
ment of practically all passenger and
freight from eastern Washington,; Mon
tana and Idaho by this route...
Tne driving- or tne last SDlke in the
Vancouver-Pasco division was) formally
celebrated today under the auspices of
tne Vancouver cnamDer or commerce
and cltixeiMi renerallv. The railroad
company provided a special train, which
carried the guests over tha line to Lyle, .
a distance of 76 miles from Vancouver
Stops were made at all important sta
tions, to give the guests opportunity to
Inspect these points, and. also to see
some of the wonderful landscape and
remarkably heavy construction that ara
features of the new railroad.
Difficult to Build.
It is said to be the most exnensiva
and difficult railroad building ever don . .
in the same- mileage In the United
States. The total cost for a large part
f the road ranged between 175.000 and
f 100,000 per mile. , ' '
