year.
Harry Thaw is now thlrty-three
years old. The limelight of publicity
first threw its glare over Thaw when
he caused a gasp of establishment on
TWO continents by giving a $4,000
''beauty dinner" in Paris to the stage
beauties of the French city. Cleo de
Merode was there, and so were many
other celebrities. Next morning the
newspapers were full of the story of
that dinner and Harry Kendall Thaw
had emerged from %obscurity.
The dinner was four years ago. Aft
err it bohemian circles began to look
with expectancy to the advent of
young Thaw in America. He came.

found herself obliged to make her own
way in the world. Her face and her
figure were her fortune. When fifteen
years old she began to earn her bread
and butter by posing as an artists
model in the studios Of New York city.
and soon her unusual beauty was the
talk of the artists.
According to George w. Lederer, the
theatrical manager, Stanford White
met and befriended the girl about this
time. White was a first nighter and
fond of pretty girls. He was a friend
of many young actresses, whom he
had helped to better themselves in
their profession, and he gave the beau
tiful model a hand so that she was
able to appear behind the footlights in
"Florodora," not as a member of the
seXtet, but in the role of q flower girl.
Then Thaw crossed her path. He paid
the most constant attention to her.
When the model went to Europe
three years ago to take singing lessons
the m%illioYaire sped after.
During Miss Nesbit's absence abroad
it was reported in the foreign news
that Harry X. Thaw "and wife" had
been arrested in Switzerland for run-
ming down a peasant while AUTOMOBILE

Thaw, Evelyn Nesbit, her maid and
seventeen trunks came here from
Europe and were driven to the
Hotel Cumberland, in New York.
Thaw repeated his denials that he had
married the model and show girl Oh the
other side of the water and declined to
sign and wife" On the hotel register.
The two were permitted to stay there
one night, occupying separate apart
ments on different floors. 81
When the young man reached home
his mother, who is a strict P~resbyte-
rian. had a few things to say to him
which made his ears burn. 1t came to
be generally understood that Harry
had been told to give up Evelyn Mes,
bit OF find his income cut from $4,000
a year to $500, which his father had
provided for in a clause of his will.
: There was another report that $780,

she would give Thaw up.

PROBATION OFFICER
SUBMITS HIS REPORT

John Melpolder. probation officer con-
neeted with the police court, yesterday
submitted his first monthly report to
Judge Feagin, which will be embodied in
the report of the judge to the Mayor and
Aldermen.
The report shows that forty-six negro
boys between the ages of 10 and 16 years
were dealt with in the police court during
March. and that only nineteen white boys
were in court in the same time, making
the total number of juvenile cases sixty
five.
The report shows, among other things,
that more were arrested for petit lar
ceny than any other offense and that
twelve out of the thirteen boys arrested
on this charge were negroes. Next to
that comes grand larceny. hopping cars and
minors in saloons, with five cases in each
charge. All the boys arrested for grand
larceny were negroes, all the minors ar
rested for being in saloons were negroes
and all those arrested for hopping cars
were negroes There were only three ar
rests for burglary and grand larceny, all
of the boys were white.
A classification by age shows an inter-
esting fact 1t is as follows:

HEDGE WILL ADD

THE CITY WILL PLANT lockwood
HEDGE BACK OF THE SOUTH
HIGHLANDS PUBLIC SCHOOL AT
FIVE POINTS.

The street commissioner has been in
structed by the Mayor to build a hedge
along the back of the lot occupied by the
South Highlands public school at Five
Points.
The hedge will be several feet high and
will serve several purposes, one of which
is that it will tend to beautify the school
yard and will increase its privacy. An
other object of the hedge is that it will
effectively cut off from the view OF the
children the rear of several houses in
that neighborhood and also of the fire
engine house at Five Points.
The matter has already been taken up
and the hedge will be built as quickly as
possible. 1t was thought that hedge
would be much better to look al than
fence, and that it would be less expen-
sive to maintain.

and brought to Birmingham last night at
$50 o'clock.

sleepless night last night ON the lonely
banks of the Warrior river. where their
comrades Tom Matthews and George Eu-
bank were swallowed up while fishing
near the rapids at Lock yesterday after
noon.
All through the night lonely camp fires
were kept burning along the banks OF
the river, where helpless companions sat
with bowed heads and saddened hearts.
while others with loving hands, weary
and without sleep spent the night dragging
for the bodies which were found this
morning at $50 o'clock some hundred feet
below the falls within ten feet of each
other.
Matthews body was the first found. be-
ing caught by a hook which was held by
student, James @. billiard of Huntsville.
while the body of Eubank was discovered
by William e. Robertson of this city
There was not a scratch upon the body
of either of the victims and it is now
thought that they were not caught under
the rapids close to the rock or they
would have shown marks from the rough
stones. The two bodies were Immediately
placed in a conveyance and brought to the
city, one to the Foster undertaking par
Tors and the other to the Tuscaloosa I'm
