NOT A BIT OF TRUTH
IN EVELYN'S STORY
SO Declares Hattie Forsythe,
The Actress.

New York, Aug. 5.-Hattie Forsythe,
the actress who once was the friend
of the three chief figures in the Thaw-
White affair, and should have wit
ness if she had not gone out of the
state at the time of the trial, made a
rather lively entrance to the city on
Tuesday after a sojourn abroad.
She had few very vigorous things
to say about the Thaws, and incident
ally was engaged herself in what her
fellow passengers described as a very
exciting love affair. Her admirer was
Anthony J. Drexel, Jr.. the twenty-year
old son of the rich Philadelphia fam
lily. who was returning from school at
Elton.
Harry Thaw certainly ought to be
very grateful to Evelyn for going on
the stand and telling the story she
did for his sake" Mrs. Forsythe said.
She added, quite calmly: You know
there wasn't a bit of truth in Evelyn's
story" Asked to explain she declined
But she repeated her assertion that
Evelyn's story was a story, pure and
simple.

COT $40 A WEEK.;
WHY A SU|C|DE2
Young Bank Cashier Gave
Two Bad Checks.

New York, Aug. 5.-Charles w.
westerfield, aged % years, an assist
ant bookkeeDe of the Produce Elk
change Bank, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head in
the bookroom of the bank Tuesday af-
ternoon just as two checks bearing
his signature were presented at the
paying teller's window. Westerfield
had no deposit at the bank to meet the
checks, which were for $40 each, and
the teller detained the man who pre-
sented the checks and sent for Wes-
terrified to make an explanation. This
resulted in the finding Of the young
mans body in the vault where the
books of the bank were kept.
The bank officials say that Wester-
field was a model employe; that they
knew of no bad habits which he in
dulged, and that they knew of no rea-
son for the giving of the checks, as
he might easily have obtained the
amount Of the checks from his fellow
employees by loan. He had been more
than three years in the banks SER
vice. His account with the bank is
correct. The officials also call atten-
ton to the fact that Westerfield drew
the enormous salary of $40 a week.

CATCHING TURTLES.
Methods Used By the Fishermen of
the Tropics.

Methods Used By the Fishermen of
the Tropics.
Turtles are always captured at night
and usually on moonlight ones. This
Is the time they go Oh the shore to lay
their eggs They select a smooth.
sandy beach, dig holes in the sand. de-
post their eggs there and leave them
to be Matched by the heat Of the sand.
When the turtles are on shure for this
purpose hunters come upon them. and
they are easily overtaken, for turtles
are slow movers. The hunters have
not a very strenuous undertaking. All
that is necessary to be done Is to turn
the turtles on their backs and leave
them until the next day, when they are
removed.
Another more curious way of catch
ing turtles is by fishing by the remora.
a fish found in the tropical waters. The
popular name of this fish and the one
by which the children OF those coun-
tries call them is the sucking fish. This
name is given to them on account of a
disk on their heads, by which they can
attach themselves to any smooth sur
face, like the side of a shark, ship
or the shell Of turtle. This disk Is
like the soft leather suckers" that are
popular with schoolboys. When this
fish has once attached himself to any
thing you can pull him to pieces rather
than force him to release his hold.
Turtle hunters go in boats and carry
several of these remoras in tubs. When
they see a turtle and get near him the
sucker is sent after him. He is held
by the ring on his tail, which in turn
is attached by a stout cord. Soon the
fish is securely fastened to the shell
Of the turtle. and turtle and fish are
hauled into the boat together. Once in
the air the remora loosens his hold and
is dropped back into the tub to rest
until another turtle is sighted.-Wash-

They Are Responsible for Pres
ent Temperance Crusade
Says Watson.
PLACE NOT IN POLITICS.
LIQUOR MEMS DICTAToRIAL AC-
TIONS CAUSE PEOPLE TO DE-
eide TO ERADICATE BREWERY
INFLUENCES.

Muncie, Ind, Aug. 5.-"The brewery
interest and the brewery saloons and
their play in politics is directly re-
sponsible for the crusade that is being
waged in Indiana" declared James E.
Watson, republican candidate for gov
ernor, expressing for the first time
the cause of the temperance agitation.
Through the brewery saloons that
have been established in most every
county the brewer!es have sought to
dominate in politics. They have made
themselves unpopular with the masses.
An attempt was made to force brew
ers out of politics, but it seems that
the people have become so dissatisfied
the breweries.
1T used to be that the brewery in
terests were we'll enough satisfied to
conduct business with the home sa-
loon keepers. They sold to men who
owned their own fixtures and they
were generally people who conducted
a quiet place. When politics was plac-
ed with the saloons breweries estab-
lished and furnished saloons in nearly
every section of the state in order to
cater to certain classes for political
purposes, but laws were violated. In
many cases they were flagrantly vio-
lated and to such an extent that the
populace became aroused. The people
demanded more rigid enforcement of
the laws and law regulation. Either
the brewery must go out of politics or
it must go out Of existence"
Mr.. Watson stated this was his first
time to voice in public his opinion re-
garding the brewery controversy. The
real object of last nights meeting was
organization. 1t was an invitational
affair. and Mr.. Watson had not plan
ned to speak.

ing on rolling up big majority there
for the democratic state and legisla-

MUSTACHE NOT OLD
A LA De KAISER
Therefore Emperor Was
Baked by Sentinel.

Swinemunde, Aug. 5.-Emperor Will
liam's new style of wearing his mus
tache caused him to be refused admis-
sion to one of the coast forts here
just before he departed on his trip to
Sweden.
The Emperor, accompanied by sew
eral officers, the entire party being in
civilian dress and wearing Panama
hats, approached the entrance to the
west battery, where the sentry on duty
prevented their further progress.
His Majesty was much amused at
the occurrence and again vainly tried
to pass. Then he said to the sentry:
You must let me enter. Don't you
know me? am the Emperor"
The sentry then looked more closely
at the Emperor, not quite treasured.
but evidently recognized his Majesty
features, as he presented arms and
allowed him to pass.
The Emperor reported the occur
renee to the officer of the guard at the
fort, praising the soldiers sense Of
duty and recommending his promotion.

hoped to correct. 1t partook of nour-
