MRS. DE MILE A BANKRUPT
Widow of Playwright Unable to Meet Obligations Because of NotorietY Chorus Girl Brought on Her School, Patrons Withdraw Their Daughters.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The name of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw figuratively is written across the voluntary petitioz in bankruptcy filed i'll the United States circuit court by Mrs. Mathida Beatrice De Mile
 Evelyn Nesbit Thaw of the saint like face. the chief figure in the Thaw tragedy, is the blight that has, after two year struggle. forced the widow of the brilliant colabOratOr of Belasco two decades ago to plead before q court of law to be released from the obligation of her debts, that she may make a fresh effort
 For it was the story of Evelyn Nes bit Thaw, as it was heard from her own lips on the witness stand during the trial of Harry K. Thaw last Feb ruary, that brought notoriety to the fashionable school at POmpton Lake N. J., in which Mrs. De Mile. the wo' man of brains and breeding, sought to rehabilitate the fortune crippled by the unexpected death of her husband.
 The bankruptcy action was the eli max of a string of circumstances that have followed in logical sequence-the quaint story by Evelyn of the life of a chorus girl among the tender daugh- ters of fashionable families at the POmpton Lake school; the shock to the fashionable clientele of the school when they learned that their daughters had the artist model as a companion for many months; the vacant school rooms and dormitories where before they had been filled.
 Three months after the ending of the first Thaw trial Mrs. De Mile closed her school. She saw that the struggle against the notoriety gained through the Thaw trial would be in vain.
 Mrs. De Mile called her school the Pamlico. She spent $60.000 in refitting the pretty villa by the lake. and, well known among the fashionable set her. self. she had little difficulty in filling her classroOms with young girls of the best families.
 Stanford White selected this schoo, as the one in which Evelyn Nesbit should be educated. She was sent there in company with her mother. Her past. that of a chorus girl and artists model, was sealed. Her ex' penses were paid Ostensibly by het mother. Every dollar was paid through her mother by Stanford White.
 It was at this school that Evelyn NeSbit, then trihe over sixteen years of age, fell III with appendicitis, and the notoriety surrounding the operation would have been sufficient in itself to close the doors of the school asdG from what followed.
 Evelyn kept diary while she was at this fashionable school. It was there she wrote of the little white bed. the vlrtuous white bed" where cynically sine sketched her life as a nun. These girls have been kept from the world all their lives, and they know very little of the mean sida of it." "I wonder how far it is from Rector's." were among other lines.
 Mrs. De Mile was very nice" Dis. trict Attorney Jerome read from tho diary. "She said. Come right in so jumped out with the agility of sOu' brette and proceeded to go in. Wsen we drove up to the mansion Mrs. Da Miles son came up smoking pipe. and I must confess he is simply pi5 faced mutt. That describes him."
