MRS. THAN DROPS SUIT.
No Longer Desires Legal Separation
from Her Husband.

Mrs Evelyn Thaw has changed her mind. and
does not wish TO have her marriage to Harry
X Thaw annulled Dan O'Reilly, her counsel,
asked that the action TO annul it be discontinued
when the came up yesterday before Mr.
Deyo the referee and the suit discontinued
without prejudice.
Mr. o'Reilly said that Mrs. Thaw had not been
Influenced by any rnercenary motive. There has
been much INSTRUMENTATION to Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw's motive in bringing application
for an annulment," he SAID, "and then discontin-
uing it. Mrs Thaw made the application very
reluctantly in response pressure brought to bear
BY the relatives Of her husband.
She withdraws from the action at this time
because she believes that her husbands present
situation demands from her loyalty to his in
terests and that il would serve no good purpose
10 prove that he insane when he married her
at q time when he is seeking TO regain his free
DOM Especially is this true in the light Of the
unfortunate conclusions of the last proceedings
Mrs Thaw's action was taken by many to mean
that Thaw would apply soon for another writ or
habeas corpus fos his release from Matteawan
Mr.. O'Reilly said that Thaw and his wife mad not
become reconciled and that Mrs Thaw would not
visit him any at Matteawan.
Then why the suit dropped?' he was
asked
Mrs. Thaw simply wants to remain Mrs. Harry
X. Thaw. She feels that she has right to some
financial assistance from her husband TO recon-
pense her for the sacrifice she made by going on
the stand and telling the story Of her life to
save his"
Franklin Bartlett, attorney for Mrs. William
Thaw, said last night that he knew of no pressure
being brought by relatives of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw's
husband bring about an annulment of the mar
riage
The position Of the family in regard TO this
young woman is very simple and very just" he
added Mrs. William Thaw desires that this
young woman shall be treated only fairly.
but generously. and she is now being paid $1,000
a month which. in my opinion lawyer of ex
pertence, is far more than any court would allow
her for her maintenance and support either
almony or otherwise, and It is more generous
allowance thar such would be appropriated If
based Harry Thaws income or measured by
her station in life
Conc cerning the report that EVELYN Thaw would
apply TO the courts TO be appointed a committee
of her husbands person and property Colonel
Bartlett said: II know nothing about that but you
may sag coming from Mrs. William Thaw and
would be opposed. 1 cannot conceive. though, of
any court making such appointment"
Besides the s2.4o annual income left to him tv
sylvania which is said yield him an income Of
s. 600 month
Mrs William Thaw spent yesterday morning
with her son. and in some quarters this was re-
garded as significant in view of the report that
she was planning TO have herself appointed com
rlittee of his property Thaw troubled YES
terday by a dispatch in the newspapers from the
Adirondacks quoting District Attorney Jerome as
IN willing TO consent his commitment to an asy-
lurn other than Matteawan.

WRITES ON MACEDONIA
Ambassador Speck CON Stern6urg
Tells of German attitude.

Baron speck Won sternburg, the German An1bas-
sador TO the United States has an article In the
forthcoming Outlook" giving an official German
view Of the Macedonian situation The ambassador
speaks with full personal well as official infor-
nation as he was Germanys agent at Belgrade
for some time and made study there and IN
Macedonia of existing conditions He says:
From a general poin, of view. Germany holds
the opinion that the r1antena of the status quo
agrees with the whole civilized world that the
bearable state Of affairs in Macedonia urgently
calls for remedy and that steps must be taken
to put stop to the continuous bloodshed murder
that ali measures bearing upon this subject will
only have possibility of success if they receive
its ha5n,ony ~ each = other 5.o .Ar,o. and
fayorably any suitable proposal. from whatever
affairs In Macedonia can be remedied. and is pre-
pared to give her full consent hereto. provided
that it meets with the consent Of the other
suitable? is a matter of discussion. At the first
glance II seems doubtful to the German govern
force would give the desired result btu she is
far from rejecting this idea alb initio as unfeas-
ible- Germany regards with some skepttcsms
however the idea Of placing the :. ers4a. eqand Of q
fcers, even II this is done by allowing European
officers to direct the movements Of the troops
IT holds opinion that the task Of celebrating
practical measures destined to change or at Least
to ameliorate the state of affairs in Macedonia
and its deplorable features should best be con-
fded to the representatives Of the powers at Con-
stantinopls
II need scarcely be mentioned that the frequent
statements by the foreign press asserting that Ger

DDS and the day will surely come. and before long,
when land engines will be equipped with it The
boats here are the best in the world. They are
fine"
Then j D. Mcclure. of the Worthington Pump
Company who designed the pumps, explained what
is expected TO be the ultimate development of the
centrifugal pump with the turbine engine Event
ually,' he said, we shall have electric engines.
The electric conduits are all over the city. and
the necessary power to the pumps be OBJ

The tests yesterday were to have been conducted
off Sandy Hook. with a speed test from the light
there to the Scotland Lightship. The heavy fog
in the early morning spoiled this plan however,
and. after running down the Bay, the boats turned
off at St George and headed back hoping for
clearer weather up the Hudson. This hope was
gratifed, and the fire fighters steamed to Yonkers.
There the compasses were adjusted and the boats
turned downstream. TO reel off the measured mile
off Riverdale over the course which the Arrow
made her record run.
The Wilett led, taking a fvfns start and mado
the distance at speed of fifteen and seven-tenths
miles. The contract requirement twelve miles

sister boat the mile and showed a trifing
superiority in speed, too the run up the river.
These formalities over the test of the fire fight
ing capacity of the boats made. Everything
worked smoothly, from the great turbine engines
supplied by the General Electric Company to the
Worthington pumps. The boats throw eighteen
streams. varying from inch to three inches in
size. and, in addition, there great standpipes

looks like the fighting top of batteshfp. the grea.
