| New York, April 30.--No complaint
in the action commenced by William
Carroll Woodward alias Big Haw.
ley against Howard Gould has yet
been served upon either Mr.. Gould
or his attorney. Delaney Nicoll.
Mr. Nicoll declares his belief that a
complaint in the case never viii be
made, asserting that Hawley's suit
for s250.000 for breach of contract is
blackmai.
The services which Hawley agreed
to perform under the terms of the
alleged contract will not be disclosed
until complaint in the action is filed
and If no complaint should be filed,
they will never be publicly known.
But while Hawley and his attor
neys mp to the present, have failed to
put in writing the services which he
is alleged to have performed for Mr..
Gould, the nature of these alleged
services has been rather freely dis
cussed by them.
Had Woman as Partner,
Hawley's suit is based on the asser
ton that he had supplied certain in
formation sought by Howard Gould
in his present disagreement with
Mrs. Gould. Hawley's story is that
= prominent woman of good standing
had been his assistant in profitable
series of swindes on the interna
tional liners.
According to Hawley's story he and
the woman worked what might prop
egly be designated as a variation of
the familiar panel game 1t was the
woman's duty, according to Hawley
to inveigle travellers into Irritation
when Hawlley would interfere as an
outraged husband and claim money.
Hawley says that the pair worked
the steamers with prodigous success
for two or three years and he pays
tribute 10 his companion.
She was the eleverest helper |

nit, hat the severance of our rela-
lions broke up the neatest cpmbina-

Hawley tells of this period in his
career with the utmost satisfaction.
He is very rare product of the
wolr. this vain glorious ex
pert in swindling. Haley not only

Banks Attain Firmer Footing and
Confidence IS Restored - Morgan
Syndicate May Buy Bonds.

New York, Nov. 27.-Heavy deposits Of
Treasury funds We're made to-day with
Wall street banks that had subscribed
for the Treasury , per cent notes and
the new Panama bonds. Many Of the
large banks had messengers waiting at
the subtreasury all day, and no delay
whatever WIS experienced there in re-
leasing the money as soon as the proper
collateral was pledged
It developed that some banks had COM
planned bitterly about the way in which
their deposits were held up at Washing
ton after the necessary instructions had
been given by Secretary Cortelyou. who
has to pass on al such applications for
public funds. 1t was ascertained that the
trouble resulted from an apparent bung-
ling in the United States Treasurer's s
Office, which has not handled the business
At all eXpediuousIy.
Further progress in satisfying the cur
rency demand was reported by the banks.
and the premium OF ] and u per cent
was only paid on large lots where the
money had to be in hand FOR payroll
purposes.
In the afternoon il was said that large
amounts OF currency had been sold at a
premium cf 2 to 1 pr ccI,t and that the

, Morgan Bond Deal RumOrS.
A report was current that a syndicate
headed by J. =. Morgan x Co. would
purchase from the city autho.5t ties another
issue Of New York City enue war
rants. bearing per cent int :. Il was
said that this might be do when the
money market be a little more fav-
orable. and that $S.G0O,eJ0 OF $4,000
coo might be obtaa,o. by the bankers on
the same terms at which they got the
short-term loan Of last month.
Most OF the large banks were busy with
the preparations for an early resumption
OF cash payments, and the view prevailed
that this was now the matter Of a com
paratively short time. and that soon after
the December dividend disbursements
were made the normal order of banking
business would be resumed at this center.
Anxiety 20 promote this resumption
was one reason why the banks had been
SO solicitous about having the Treasury
arrange to make its special deposits
simultaneously with the payments for the
bonds, 50 that the subscribing banks
would not have TO lose possession of
the cash. In this respect the operation
has not been handled well until to-day,
when the Treasury machinery was work
ing perfectly for the first time.
