HARRY THAW'S
SISTER SUES FOR

London, Jan. 3. Tho
Countess of Yarmouth, who
was Miss Alice Thaw, has be-
gun proceedings for the nulll-
r fication of her marriage with
tho Earl of Yarmouth. She
Is a sister of Marry Thaw, tho
slayer of Stanford White.
Pittsburg, Jan. 3. The news that
j the Countess of Yarmouth Is seeking
the nullification of her marriage did
; not create much surprise here, as
i it known that all has not been well
! between the couple. It Is said the es-
trangemeiit is due to two causes,
j first, the action of the Earl In retir
ing to seclusion in Egyut during the
first trial of Harry K. Thaw; sec-
londly, because of the Insanity plea
: entered by Thaw, the Earl objecting
to insanity figuring in tho case.

The county court today granted
the Eugene & Eastern Railway Coin-
puny an extension of time In which to
j begin construction of the electric lino
along tho county road between Eu
gene unci Springfield. The franchise
for the lino was granted by the court
on September G, 1907, and It was pro
vided that construction work should
begin within 9u days after grauting
the franchise. The 90 days expired
on December 6, but owing to tho holl-
days, during which no money to pay
jtho workmen could be secuisd, tho
work was stopped and the company
''led a petition for an extension of
I "'"o of slx months from the dale of
j ll'e granting of the franchise, which
makes II imperative that work shall

I "That for the purpose of complet-

sary to construct a bridge across
tho Willamette river near said town
of Springfield.
"That your petitioner was unablo
to make the necessary arrangements
and to get said bridge constructed
during the winter on account of tho
dangers to lie Incurred by tho floods
and the high water -which occur in
said river during the winter season,
and for that reason It has been neces- .
sarv for vnnr until innpi-a In nnslimno

it was and has been Impracticable for

eluded In said franchise, until work
could be commenced on said bridge.
