Mrs. Lawrence Left Husband
When WsaI.h Vanished.
he LOVED HER 1ENOERLy.
fount Her a Pssr Girl, Educated Her, Sent
Her abroad and when Shs nsluInsd
Made Her His Wde.

New York, Jan. 7.-''When poverty
comes in at the door love flies out of the
window"
No man has occasion to know the truth
of this old adage better than Effngham
Lawrence. Once rich, respected member
OF many clubs. popular in Wall Street,
related To prominent families, he met and
parentage Today. poor, living In hall
bedroom. his love OF other days scorns
him. And now there Is a divorce suit
on.
1t was ten years ago that Effngham
Lawrence met the girl he made his wife.
1t was love at first sight and soon he
had proposed and was accepted. He was
rich then lie, paid for the girls tuition
Ia arr and music and sent her on trip
abroad. When she came back, a culu-
waited girl OF twenty, he married her.
For while his happiness was COM
plete. But reverses came. In one mis-
take on the market Lawrence lost $780,
20. Bad luck pursued him, more losses
followed Al last he drifted to the bucket
shops and then to the poolrooms. One
day he realized that he was ruined.
In the midst OF HIS trouble came gos-
sip about hts wife He refused to be-
lieve IL. But on August ! last he saw for
himself. That night his wife left his
house, leaving a note that she had gone
FOR good. Lawrence sued for divorce
through Lawyer David NJ. Neuberger. of
No. 2b6 Broadway.
After looking into the matter" said
Mr. Ncuberger, II advised a reconcilia-
ton. Mr.. Lawrence still loved his wife
and he was willing 10 forgive. On Aug.
b they met here and agreed to forget the
past. But the wife did not keep her
promise A few days later she was gone
for a night, saying she had been at her
sisters. Lawrence believed her. A few
days later she went out and didn't return
Tor two weeks.
"The husband. distracted and heart
broken, learned the truth. And so he Is
suing John Roberts, an ex-policeman,
who keeps a hotel at Eighth avenue and
one Hundred and Twentieth street. for
ill- coo for alternating his -wifeis affections.
Roberts, you see, has more money TO
spend than poor Lawrence"
Lawrence again applied for divorce
and his wife has put in counter charges
OF cruelty and intoxication. She has
also asked for alirnony and counsel fees.
Justice Blanchard has the papers.

tries. He will be foolish IL he seeks
license in England next year for the
Jockey club never tells what IL has
against anybody, and never retracts, and
he will surely be turned down.

want him. and at the same time does
not present any obstacle to his employ

This Is what every player of note will
surely vote for at the coming meeting.
The rule relative TO foot faults Is not
explicit enough. IL can easily be made
clear, but should not be materially
changed as 10 its intention.
Tho suggestion to force the player to
stand still In serving or prohibit the vol

out OF the game. Many Americans come
near violating the rule by stepping for
