THAWS PLEA OF \
BANKRUPTCY MAY
WIN HIS FREEDOM
Once Outside New York, Law
yers Say Whites Slayer
Need Not Return.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-As 1t Is now
believed that the United States Court
will require the presence of Harry K.
Thaw in Pittsburg at his bankruptcy
hearing, several of the most prominent
lawyers in New York State believe
that 1t will mean the absolute dis
charge of Thaw from custody.
Thaw is now held as an insane pa
tent, ard was not convicted of any
crime. If a United States marshal de-
mands Thaw for the Pfttsburg court
the New York asylum officers must
surrender him, and the first minute he
puts foot on New Jersey or Pennsyl-
vania soil a writ of habeas corpus will
release him and he will be at liberty
as long as he stays out of the juris-
diction of New York.
This view Is taken by such eminent
criminal lawyers at former District
Attorney Eugene Philbin and John F..
Mcintyre. They say that before Thaw
can be declared a bankrupt in Pitts
burg he must appear there personally,
and that the Federal court will proba-
bly, issue a summons for him. In that
event the New York authorities hold
ing Thaw must surrender him or take
him to Pittsburg, and then would come
the writ of habeas corpus.

Woman Who Was Wife.
Especial to the Evening Start

PATERSON. Aug. 14.-Mary f.
Decker, an attractive young woman,
was just leaving her fine home at "a
Broadway when an automobile drew
up and a man leaped out and grabbed
her. They fought about the sidewalk,
n 1t was said the man was irving
to draw a pistol when pedestrians ran
up and interfered. The mar climbed
back into the automobile. and as 1t
sped away he raised his finger at the
young woman and cried:
Prepare to meet your DOOM"
Miss Decker explained that the man
had been her husband, but that she
had the marriage annulled while he
was serving a three-year sentence in
prison for bigamy. His name Is
Charles Lynch and she vas married
to him in Newark five years ago.
They had a son, soon after whose birth
she discovered that he had a previous

SCORNED RABIES
But A DOC, BITE
BROUGHT DEATH
Steingruber Laughed at Doctors
Who Said He Had
Hydrophobia.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 14.-Although
Conrad Steingruber laughed at the
Christ Hospital physicians who said
that he would die in t~wenty-four hours
from the effects of a bic from a dog,
the prophecy was fulfilled today.
Steingruber said he was a disbeliever
in h~ydrophobia and that he would be
around again in a few days, despite
the warnings of the physicians. He
rapidly grew worse, however, and all
hope was given up of saving his life.
He remained conscious until the end,
and almost the last words he spoke
were that he would get we'll.
Steingruber was bitten by. a dog a
little over three weeks ago, but paid
no attention to the bite, and when
warned by his wife that he might de-
velop rabies he laughed at her, saying
hydrophobia had no terrors for him.
On Monday last he began to show
signs of rabies, and consulted a ply
stefan. On Wednesday he called at the
hospital, and when offered a glass of
water he was taken with a spasm.
From thai time until he died his suf-
fering was intense.

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.-After visiting
England. Scotland and Ireland. and
hearing reports of bishops from all
parts of the English-speaking world,
Bishop Greer. the new head of the
Episcopal diocese of New York, has
pronounced the United States the most
divorce-ridden country in the world
He pointed out the paradox that
America, which suffers least fEpm the
drink evil. should suffer most from the
social parasite of divorce, while in
Great Britain and Ireland, where
drunkenness is rampant, he says, di-
vorces result from a very small per-
centage of marriages. He proposed, as
a means of salvation, the awakening of
public opinion through the church.
Bishop Greer advocated the absolute
prohibition of divorce, even on the
present statutory ground, as the only
way of fulfilling what he characterized
as the organic law of the church.
The divorce evil he attributed to the
materialism. hatred of restraint, alb
sence of religious control and love Of
pleasure in the heterogeneous popula-
ton of the United States.
The new bishop, with Mrs. Greer. ar
rived on the White Star Line steamship
Majestic yesterday, Inc proceeded di-
rectly to the Episcopal residence, No.
z Gramercy Park.
Bishop Greer is fresh from the Fifth
Pan-Anglican Congress. He was one
of The fifty American bishops who
formed one-fourth of that notable gath
ering. Topics touching the status of re-
ligion and morality in all sections of
the globe were thoroughly discussed.
Though it is always hard to diagno-
sis q general situation, l think the
American Owe of liberty, the hatred of
restraint, has much to do with the
high percentage of divorces in the
States he declared. Patience
and long suffering are not American
Then, too. the engrossing ma
terialism, the avid pursuit of wealth
and the equally feverish pursuit of
pleasure nav weakened domestic ties"

ELWOOD AVENUE
BRIDGE SITE VOTED
BY FREEHOLDERS
Project Now Up to Board of
Works and Kearny
Authorities.
ONLY FEW DISSENTERS;
PROBABLE COST $125, 900
Mcbride Criticises Rejection OF
Bid for Overlook Hospital
Pipe Coverings.

A big boost has been given to the
Elwood avenue site for a bridge across
the Passaic river to Kearny. The mat
ter has been agitated for years by resi-
dents of Woodside and Forest Hill, and
it is now up to the Board of Works In
this city and the Kearny authorities to
make the necessary arrangements for
furthering the plans for the approaches.
The Board of Freeholders at its ses-
sion late yesterday heard the pleas of
the promoters of the Elwood avenue
project and a few kicks from opponents,
who want other or no sites. It decided,
only Freeholders Watson and Trabold
voting in the negative, that the bridge,
which will probably cost $125, 900, would
be most valuable, If placed at Elwood
avenue
Freebooter George j. Anthem, of the
Eighth Ward, made the report that
showed hat the site named was fav-
ored by the joint free bridge committee
of Essex and Hudson counties, and a
crowd of lawyers and citizens backed
him up. He said it would boom busi-
ness interests in Newark and else
where" and relieve congestion at the
Four Corners. The freeholder called 1t
an Ideal Site"
Freebooter David A. Mcbride sprang
a surprise On some of the members by
asking them to award the contract for
the pipe coverings at the hospital in
OVERLOOK to the Ehret Magnesia Man
ufacturing Company at $751; 900.
THE building committee" he said,
decided to ~readvertise. and it seems to
me that the motion was made for no
good purpose.
County Counsel Crane had declared
the company's bid regular at the com
mittee meeting. Valentin Braun's bid
was 1892.
The board approved he bid of s148, 273
made by Frederick Kilgus on the six
new structures in Overlook, to which
there had beer a technical objection,
also. settled in committee.
Payment Of SO. 200 for the land needed
for the new detention hospital at New
arkshnd New streets was Confirmed and
so was the contract for the opening of
Fairview avenue to p. A. Matthews at

Y, cut through six empty passenger
coaches and then jumped the track.
The train was bound for this place
from Kingston. The engineer stuck
to his post throughout, even after he
had done all in his power by applying
the emergency brakes. The engine.
after %ploughing through the empty
cars, went bounding along over the
ties. The passenger coaches, filed with
vacationists from the Catskills, did not
leave the track.
