EL0P ING WOMAN
REFUSES TO TALK
Mrs. Fisher Declines to Say
Whether She Is Seeking
Reconciliation.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 2o.-That
Mrs. William Fisher. the wife OF a
Baltimore broker, who eloped with
the son OF United States Senator Ray
ner, OF Maryland. Is being supplied with
money by her husband and Is holding
daily conversations with him over the
telephone. seems to be proven by hap
.prn.ngs OF yesterday at the Walton
Hotel, where she Is staying.
Just as she was about to step into a
carriage 10 be taken for drive in the
park, Mrs. Fisher was asked whether
It was not true that reconciliation
was now under way.

might, and want complete rest. I
have been under strain. and when
that is relieved l shall take more tn
.tercst in life. That Is the reason I
wish to be excused. Now you will
pardon me. I know"
Again Mrs. Fisher was asked whe-
ther her husband had not talked to
her daily over the phone and had not
supplied her with the money with
which she was promptly paying all her
bills. She would not discuss the mat
ter, however.
Mrs. Fisher has not kept as closely
to her room as has been reported. Since
she appeared ut the hotel. week ago
she hns gone out frequently, sometimes
on foot and sometimes In carriage.
She Is In a nervous condition, but IN
compare lively good health. Scarcely
a day passes that she does not talk
over tho lors distance phone to Balti-
more, presumably to her husband.
Husband Said to De Sorry.
Mrs. Fishers husband In Baltimore
has been quo,ed as saying that he was
very sorry for his wife, and would do
anything hegcould to help her. lie has
begun divorce proceedings. but these
have not gone very far.
Senator Rayner. whose son, William
r. Rayner, eloped with Mrs, Fisher.
has the young man in a sanatorium

Fisher has not seen the young man
for some time. and she has had plenty

sire her husbands forgiveness This.
and this alone, is the cause Of her
worry and nervousness.
Unless reconciliation is being ef.--
fected, and Mr.. Fisher Is supplying
his wife with ready money, Mrs. Fish

She seems to be well supplied and pay
al, her bills promptly. 1t Is known
that Senator Rayner IS not supplying
