When Husband Disappeared
Mrs. WadsWorth Found Letters
WERE IN CAST.OFF WAISTCOAT
Then Shs Has q Caller Who Says Mr..
WadswNth Secured $4,000 Of Her
Msusy--0thsr Women Involved.

New York. Nov. 17.-Myron Adell Wads-
worth. 4S years old, who has lived in sus-
sex ave, Morristown, n. j., for the best
six years, Is missing, and his wife would
like TO know where he can be found.
She is especially anxious to find him
because since her husband was last seen.
on October "a, she has made discoveries,
she asserts which lead her TO believe that
for years he has been leading double, OF
Newark and elsewhere.
The Wadsworths went TO Morristown
from Salamanca, n. Y, I'm 1894. They ap-
peared to be we'll TO do. and Wadsworth
came to this city every morning on the
brokers' express, and returned on the
same train in the evening.
He said he was In the wheat brokerage
business here. lie dressed well, paid his
debts. attended the South Street Presby-
terian church regularly, and was an ac-
tive member of class 10 In the Sunday
school.
Mrs Wadsworth's discoveries began
with the finding of note. dated from
Newark, and signed Mabel The next
was a note from this city, signed En-
ma" She found these I'm waist

hind. Then one day Mrs r. $. Green
OF this city, called. She said she lived in
East Eighty-ffth street, and was very
much astonished TO find that Wadsworth
had a wife living I'm Morristown.
Mrs Green's story. as Mrs. Wadsworth
tells it. was that she met Wadsworth

BIG BOATS
ARE NOW
IN SHOPS.
Yankee Was Launched at Brls-
toI Today and Rainbow
Takes Her Place.

The 7o-footer Yankee. owend by Messrs
Whitney and Duryea, which has been in
Herreshoffs south construction shop at
Bristol for "A number OF weeks for the pur-
pose Of making repairs and also to bring
her back 10 her original lines, was
launched today at high water.
ine Yankee. with others OF the 70's. was
badly wrenched In the races of Newport
last summer. Her bow turned upward
from it's original position a number OF
inches so that It did not need an expert
enced eye to note the change. and be-
sides the wrenching caused leaks in the
yachts so that IL was necessary TO haul
out the boats before every race.
When the Yankee was hauled out the
first thing that was done was to take on
the planking forward OF the mast. After
this was done the bow OF the yacht came
back TO it's original position without any
assistance whatever.
Considerable extra bracing was put In
side the yacht and steel plates were fas-
tened TO the frames To form a backing for
the wooden planking and also TO give the
yacht the desired stiffness.
The job has been quite an expensive
one. but il Is now believed that there VIII
be no trouble next season OF the kind ex-
perienced last. The yacht looks as she
did when she was launched last spring.
Her lower mast II on the north pier at
lierresbOffs and will be stepped as soon
as there are high tides enough To float the
yacht off the head of the pier where the
shears are located.
As soon as the Yankee was launched
the 70-foeter Rainbow. owned by Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt was hauled into the shop
over the railway. The Rainbow has been
here a month waiting for the work to be
finished on the Yankee.
Yesterday afternoon the lower mast OF
the Rainbow was lifted out by a derrick
scow employed there i'm laying sewer
pipes in the harbor. The mast was
dropped overheard and towed 20 Herre-
sho1s. where IL was hauled out on the
north pier
The same work that was done on the
Yankee will have TO be done on the Rain
bow. and IL will take four or five weeks
10 complete this work.
With the Rainbow I'm the south shop II
is certain that little work can be done
toward the new defender I'm that shop,
although considerable preliminary work
will he done and everything will be in
readiness to go ahead on the cup defen-
der soon as the Rainbow is out.
