HOWARD NESBIT SEEKS WORK.
Evelyn ThRw May Make Her Home
in suburb of Detroit

Detroit Mich. June A-Alleging that
he was bounded out OF Pittsburg by the
friends Of stanford White, and that they
are hampering him in getting employ
ment even in Detroit, Howard Nesbit,
brother OF Evelyn Thaw, is seeking a
livelihood in this city.
Private advices from New York are that
Evelyn herself may also come TO make
her home among the fashionable villas
of pretty Crosse Point. the home of so
many millionaires, on Lake ST. Clair, to-
gether with Mrs. Holman, her mother.
The sale Of a pretty cottage for the fam
ily is talked Of Howard is at present
employed as solicitor for an outdoor ad-
vertising concern.
Another story is tnat Nesblts pres
ence here Is due 20 the fact that he is
wanted in connection with an investiga-
tion that District Attorney Jerome, OF
New York. is making which involves
young Nesbit. and that he could, by ar
rangeIIent. be subpoenaed in Pittsburg,
but no such arrangements nave been
made wth the Michigan authorities
Mr. Nesbit's personal appearance does
not give the impression that he is in
need of work. He freQuents the down
town cafes, dresses in the height Of
fashion occasionally announces that he
was recently identified with a prominent
trial, and that his name is Howard Nes-
Dit.

BRIDGEBAITEREDB NIAGARA
Current in Power Tunnels Shut Of
for Investigation.
Government Takes Advantage of
the Opportunity to Inspect
Structures.

Niagara Falls, June 1.-THE Auericaa
Niagara was embarrassed to-day for the
first time since it was turned to making
electricity for man ten years ago.
For Eve full hours the rushing waters
piled over the American cataract IN
order that divers might examine the
American abutment of the upper steel
arch bridge. the food gates 70 the Niagara
Falls Power Company's tunnel were shut
down at midnight
The tunne! leads from the turbines
above the falls to the base OF the bridge.
where the column Of water IS shot out
into the tower receiver at the rate of
5000 cubic feet second. During the last
three years the abutment has shown signs
OF such a battering that the safety Of
the structure was feared. A concrete
wall two and one-half feet thick had
been beaten away.
An attempt n few months ago TO place
ten tons Of steel armor against the abut-
ment failed the steel being torn from
the bridge cables and crumpled up in the
receiver. and there was no other way TO
examine the abutment than TO turn off
the water
The United States government utilized
to-day's opportunity 10 determine if the
falls have been damaged by the use OF
the water by the power companies. Maj.
Charles w. Kutz L. s. A. a member
Of the Taft Commission. was on the scene
to take observations and measurements.
The engineers found the bridge as solid
as church. although they admitted a
new foundation might have TO be built on
the American side. r. S. Buck of New
York. who built both foundations ard
Franklin Moran. Of New York. who laid
the foundation of the Singer Building,
looked al the structure.
The foundation on which the protection
wall for the abutment for the big bridge
had been built had been undermined by
the current They decided that a frmer
foundation might be secured by going
down about sixty feet with concrete
The Niagara Falls Power and Manu-
featuring Company closed down its food
gates TO make the shutdown on the
American side complete so that the gov
ernment engineers might observe the
changes in the cataract The wheel pits
Of the Niagara Falls Power Company
were stopped at midnight and at 4 clock
the other company shut down.
About sixty persons made the trip
through the tunnel There was not a
brick displaced. and not a mark Of ero-
sion in the big tube which was to be
found in all its mile and a half Of wind
ms from the upper rapids to where it
carries its load to the river below.
