THAW'S LIFE ON
WOMAN'S CHOICE
Wife Must Choose
Either Husband
or Mother.
A STARTLING ADMISSION
Made by Mrs. Holman Who
Tells that White Sup.
ported Her.

New York, July 26.-The Thaw de
fense is anything but worried over the
publication of the Mrs. esbM-Holmar
letters. An official statement to that
effect was made by Clifford Hartridge
chief counsel for Harry Kendall Thaw
"rhe letters speak for themselves,
said Mr. Hartridge, "they are certain
ly not damaging to the defense. 1t is
absurd to print that Thaw was de-
pressed after reading the letters"
1t Is known, moreover, that the
Thaw defense regards the letters as
only another link in the chain that
is expected to prove that Mrs. Nesbit.
Holman sought to persuade Evelyn
Nesbit-Thaw to leave her husband and
return to Stanford White.
The publication of the letters OF
Mrs. Nesbit-Holman to Stanford White
puts the beautiful actress wife of Har.
ry Kendall Thaw in a difficult posi-.
ton. She must choose, finally and
forever between her mother who is an
implacable enemy of the young mil.
lionaire, and her husband, a prisoner
in the TOmbs. On her choice, and on
the testimony she may be called on
to give when the case comes to trial,
0he life of the young Pittsburger may
rest.
Admitted That White Supported Her.
Mrs. Nesbit-Holman has admitted
that she had been practically support
ed by Stanford White, and it is known
that she entertained a bitter animosi-
ty against Thaw because in his win.
ming of Evelyn Nesbit from Stanford
White he had cut off the money that
was being supplied Mrs. Nesbit-Iol.
man by Stanford White.
The publication of the letters, how.
ever, brought former Chief of Police
Roger O'Mara hurriedly from Pitts.
burg. The Importance of his visit
to this city was proven when Evelyn
Nesblt-Thaw drove TO the Twenty.
.nird Street police station in her elec.
Uric hanson and took him Immediate
~ to the Tombs, where they were
met by Mr.. Hartridge. A long con.
ference ensued and Mrs. Thaw and
the detective went to Hartridge's of.
nee with the lawyer for another con.
terence.
OMara admitted having seen Mrs.
Nesblt-Holman in Pittsburg since the
publication of the letters Sunday but
declined to state what had transpired
at their interview.

only absentees.
The meeting was called primarily
for the purpose of deciding what dis.
position should be made of the kin
dergarten building, whether to rent it
or offer 1t for sale, and to fix the price
In either case. Mrs. P. B. Campbell
of Durango, Colorado, attended the
meeting and made proposition to
rent il with the privilege of buying
later on, She stated that she was
thinking seriously OF establishing
steam laundry here ana upon investi,
cation found that the kindergarten
building could be utilized for such a
plant. Mrs. Campbell said she prefer
red to rent the building first and then
If the business came up to expecta.
tions she would probably purchase 1t.
Whatever action the board of educa.
tion takes in the matter will be done
today The proposition was sent to
the committee on buildings and
grounds with power to act and it was
thought that IA mutually satisfactory
price for rental with privilege of buy
ing could be reached this afternoon.
The establishing of street liens for
houses on school property and water
ing the trees on the school premises
came up for informal discussion. These
two matters were discussed at some
length at previous meeting and
wanted to know what was
being done about them. 1t was stated
that nearly half of the young trees
which were planted had died and the
question was raised as to whether they
had been watered sufficiently.
Mr.. Easley acted as temporary
secretary in the absence of Professor
Wood. The board then adjourned.

NO REDSKINS FOUND
Reports of Wholesale Cattle Stealing
BY Indians Not Sub
stantiated.

In regard TO the reported Wholesale
killing of cattle by outlaw Indians,
recently In western SocorrO and Grant
Counties, Captain Fred Fornofi OF the
New Mexico Mounted Police, has re
ceiyed a report from First Sergeant
Robert w. Lewis telling Of the lat
ter's efforts to apprehend the red,
skinned rustlers. Sergeant Lewis
spent fifteen days in trying to round
up the alleged cattle thieves but was
forced to abandon the search after
following an old trail without eneoun-
tering substantial Indians
While the first sergeant OF the
mounted police was at Alma a man
rode into the town and informed the
officer that he had seen sixteen In
dians, who had from thirty 10 forty
horses with them, and were skinning
a beef when he saw them. He stated
that the redskins were camped near
the trail running from Dry Creek to
Mule Springs, six or seven miles from
Meadows Ranch. At the request OF
the first sergeant he agreed to guide
the officer to the spot, and they set
out for the place early the next morn
ing, but could not find any of In,
dians. There were no signs of camp
at the spot indicated nor tracks OF
any kind.
An Indian trail several days old was
found the next day, and the officer
started to follow 1t in company with
several other men, among them B. P
Harbour, who has a ranch ON Dry
Creek Mr.. Harbour told the officer
that one of his neighbors had been
robbed Of nearly everything he had
of value, and laid the thefts to outlaw
Indians. After following the trail for
some time they discovered the EN-
bers of camp fire and a small guam
tity of roasted muscal. They followed
the trail to Saceton Peak and thence
to the breaks of West Mogollon Creek
At the latter place they found a
camp which from all indications had
been used at least ten years, and there
was about ton of beef bones around
the camping grounds. The trail led
from there to Lookout Mountain. AT
ter going six miles farther south they
gave up the search and returned Ito

CARNATION MAY BECOME
,ENGLAND'S FAV0RlTE
Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Just now the
carnation, Queen Alexandra's favorite
flower, seems to be in a fair way to
supersede the chrysanthemum as the
fashionable winter flower. In fact
Hayward Matthias, secretary of the
newly formed winter towering society,
which has been holding it's first show
in the royal botanic gardens this week,
thinks the carnation already has first
place.
1T is less than ten years since Eng
land relied on America for the bulk
of its tree carnations" he said. "Now
we are raising our own, and it is safe
to say that the English raised plants
are as good if not better than any we
ever imported"
The exhibition is the first organized
attempt in this country to hold a car
nation show on the American principle
of grouping all flowers of one color to-
gether instead of arranging the blos-
SONS in groups of the various hues.
The effect of the new system of group
Ing is seen in the greater general bril-
lance of the show, and the wide masses
of pink flowers and of scarlet white
and yellow is filling the Royal Botanic
society's Conservatives with a feast
of floral splendor.
One beautiful exhibit is a bowl of
large fiowered heliotrope carnations,
called the "Mikado," but the finest
flower in the show is the new English
raised Seeding, the Britannia" f."
grown at Enfield. 1t is "A clear, bright
scarlet and its blossoms are distin-
guished for their perfect form. This
exhibit gained the gold medal and first
class certificate.
Almost as striking is the new seed
ling named Burnett" Some of the
hac,
in breadth. The color is a delicate
shade of salmon pink. 1t earned first
class honors. Orders for more than
1000 Burnett plants were booked in
one day, among them being one for
the queen.

PIPES WILL BE DEASER
Strikes and Nature Raise Prices of the
Smokers implement, to
His DISGUST

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Pipe smokers
must be prepared for rise in the
prices of briars early in the new year.
The sixpenny briar, for which there
is always an enormous demand, VIII
be sold at ninepence, and the more
expensive pipes will be advanced Ill
the same ratio.
There will still, of course, be six
penny briar on sale, butt it will not be
of the same quality as it used to be.
A combination of circumstances,
which was explained yesterday by Mr..
Hinrichs a director of Messrs. Adolph
Frankau g. Co., limited, Queen Victoria
street, makers of the B. b. B. pipes,
has led to the rise in prices.
1.-The chief cause" he said, lis that
since July there have been strikes in
the two great pipe-making districts
st. Claude, the French center near
Geneva, and Nuremberg, the German
area.
'"These strikes continued for three
months and the manufacture of briar
bowls was practically at standstlll
for three months.
"As a rule the factories of st. Claude
turn out 5000 gross of bowls, good.
bad and indifferent but the present
OUTPUT is scarcely worth mentioning.
'"The same state of affairs obtains
at Nuremberg but | have just heard
that the manufacturers have decided
to combine and protect their interests
against what is believed to be more
of a political than trade union agi-
tation.
.'The best briar is found in Italy,
where the peasants dig it out, boil it,
and cut 1t into blocks, which are ex-
ported to the French and German man
ufacturing centers The bowls, which
are turned roughly in these centers,
arrive in England, where they are
finished and polished and fitted with
mouthpieces
"For some time past there has been
a scarcity of good briar in Italy. The
earthouake in Calabria shattered the
industry go that the poor people turned
to other employment.
"It should be remembered, too in
connection with mouthpieces that the
price of vulcanite, which was 3s Sd
in 1896, is now 5s and that the price
of silver has advanced Sd per ounce.
I'm view of these facts we are now
revising our price lists, which will
make it necessary for retailers to raise
their prices"

PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY WIRE
Pictures to Be Sent il Two Minutes
According to German
Scientist
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Dec, 15.-Prof. Korn of the
Munich university has greatly improved
his apparatus for transmitting photo
graphs over telegraph wires.
He has succeeded in sending photo
graphs and sketches six or seven inches
square in this manner from Munich ito
nuremberg, a distance of one hundred
miles, IN from ten to fifteen minutes.
The professor says that precisely the
same results would be obtained if the
photographs were transmitted over A
telegraph line of any length.
The photograph which has to be trans
mitted is placed on a transparent glass
cylinder, which revolves slowly and at
the same time moves from right to left.
A ray of light is thrown on the cylinder
by means of an electric lamp and lens,
and when the ray of light reaches the
interior of the cylinder it is brighter or
darker according to the coloring of that
particular part of the photograph over
which it passes.
Inside the cylinder is some selenium,
which transmits electrical currents in
proportion to the intensity of the light
brought to bear on it. The selenium
transmits currents more rapidly in
bright light and less rapidly as the light
uCcl edSt5. IHe SSleululIl is COllIeCIeu
with the wire over which the photo
graph has to be transmitted.
The receiving apparatus consists of
an electrical Nernst lamp placed inside
glass cylinder covered with sensitized
paper. The lamp burns more or less
brightly acsording to the varying cur
rent transmitted through the selenium
at the other end of the WIRE 1t thus
reproduces the exact shade of the orlgl-
nal photograph, provided that the cylln-
ders at each end of the wire revolve at
exactly the same speed. Prof. Korn has
invented a means of regulating the
revolution of the cylinders so that the
speed is identical at both ends
Further improvements to the appara-
tus will shortly enable a photograph to
be transmitted within two minutes.

FRENCH WOMEN AS LAWYERS
Two More Added to the List of AdVo-
Gates by Judge ct
Paris
Special Cable to The Herald.

PARIS, Dec. ia quaint ceremony
took place today at the Palais de, JUS
tice. 1t was the admission to the bar
of two new women advocates or law
yers, in the person of Madame Bene-
zech, wife of the distinguished Partisan
barrister of that name and of Mdlle,
Mile. They took the oath before Judge
Ditte in the first chamber of the civil
tribunal in the presence of a large
number of black-robed confreres.
Madame Benezech is the third wo-
man who has been admitted to the
bar and Mdlle. Mile is the fourth
since the ice was broken about three
years ago by the admission of Mdlle.
ChauVin who, by the way has been
quite a success. having won many a
difficult case in various courts since
the beginning of her practice.
Madame BeneZech and Mdlle. Mile
are both very young and exceedingly
handsome, thus refuting the theory
that beauty is an impediment to ardu-
Gus intellectual pursuits. They begin
their career also with very strict
declaration of professional faith. No
one with a bad or a dishonest cause
need come to them. They will defend
only good and just causes, and will
Madame Benezech TO "eonfrere," be-
fore taking the oath. With four wo-
men lawyers now in Paris the posi-
ton of feminine advoeation seems
assuredly, an encouragement is given
to many studious young girl now
perhaps dreaming OF future career.

GOLDEN TEST OF CREDULITY
Sovereigns Offered for Sale at 19s Cd
Each-One Buyer Gets
Them
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Dec. ia striking in
stance of the incredulity of the British
public has occurred at Portsmouth,
where an opportunity to purchase SOW
ereigns was refused with scorn.
The incident arose out of a wager
for $50, one man betting another that
the British public did not know a good
thing when they saw it.
In order to put the argument to the
test the two men-both of whom are
members of the Portsmouth Civil
Service club-entered the club armed
with bags of coins and astounded the
other members by Offering sovereigns
at 1Ss Cd each, five-shilling pieces for
As Cd and forms for Is Sd.
The three bags containing the coins
We're placed on the table and the clos
est inspection was invited. Not sin
gle member however, would venture
to buy, though the coins were freely
handled.
Some went so far as to ring the coins
on stone counter; while others, more
prudent, endeavored to mark the coins
with the impress of their teeth, but
yet were unconvinced.
However, after much persuasion, Mr..
Guyatt, one of the members, agreed
to take the risk" and placing 1Ss Cd
on the table pocketed a sovereign.
This deal broke the ice and then a
member purchased a crown for As Cd,
while another member bought a form
for Is Cd.
The offer was still open, yet despite
the fact that there were a good many
persons in the club at the time, mem
bers thought it wiser to keep a firm
hold on what they had.
They quite failed to appreciate that
the offer was genuine one, Or in
other words, they were not prepared
to back their recognition of an ordin-
airy coin of the realm.
One man went so far as to declare
that the coins were obviously spurious,
and another asserted that they were
wonderfully good limitations"
Before going to the club the wager
makers had visited various places in
the town, and in each instance the
same inoredulity and inability to sell
| were experienced.
The incident recalls TO mind the time
when sovereigns were offered for sale
at penny each on Waterloo bridge
and could not be sold.
