Theory.
London.-Among shipping experts
the theory was advanced that the col

was caused by suction, in the same
way that suction brought about the
collision of the Olympic and the
Hawke and all but dragged the New
York into a smash with the Titanic.
The suction theory is supported by the

GIBSON SAYS HE CAN
PRODUCE MOTHER

GOSHEN, n. Y Special
Burton w. Gibson, facing the
crucial period of his fight 10 de-
fcnd himself against the charge
that he StTangicd the Countess
Rosa Menschil< Szabo to death,
stOutly maintained Thursday that
he could produce the mother of the
countess. It was the last day of
grace the imprisoned lawyer had
before making to Surrogate FOw-
Ter, of New York, a showing of
his administration of the estate
OF the countess, and he knew
fully that upon that statement
depends in Il measure his entire
line of defense.
The lawyer paced the floor of
his cell today and read the testi-
mOny of George Tcichmann that
Gibson had threatened the cOun-
tess when she refused to lend him
money.
Then he said: II wonder what
all Of this means? Every day 1

Gibson was intensely interested i'm
knowing what was transpiring in
connection with the case before
the surrogate much more so than
i'm any other phase OF the case.
He was not even moved by the
report that Detective William ii.
Moore, of Orange county, had
discovered evidence that the
countess was really strangled to
death on Roosevelt Island and
her body later thrown into the
lake.

cusses many interesting phases of

from his reports, labor-union man
would leave China shattered wreck

coolie labor can be obtained in any

men for IL cents. Mr.. Colquhoun
found much interest in watching the

up type In their native language. The
compositors of China must be men in

contains 10000 characters and covers
the entire length OF a big room. 1t

WIFE BROKE COMPACT.
BUT HE DID NOT DIE

NEW YORK. Special.-A curious
written promise made by Mrs. Mary
Ann Graves to her husband. Erwin
r. Graves, a broker of this city. fig
ured in divorce proceedings which
Justice Morschauser heard in White
Plains yesterday.
Pa tly because of the agreement.
which was broken, the justice award
ed a decree to the husband The docu-
ment in evidence read thus:
August -. 1910.
I hereby promise Ernie that if I
ever again stay out all night or go
and see Mr.. Parker it will be because
L want him (Ernie) to Kill himself.
PETE.
The testimony of Mr. Graves and
other witnesses proved that Pete
that being an affectionate pet name for
Mrs. Graves-did stay out all night
many times subsequently, and did see
Mr.. Parker. The presence of the hus-
band. of course, proved that he didn't
kill himself, whether his wife did or
did not want him to do SO.
Mr.. Graves testified that he mar
ried in 1904 and that he and his wife
lived happily in an expensive home
on the old Mamaroneck Road, near
White Plains. But early in 1910 she
began to go about with one Robert
K. Parker and to remain away over
night. When the broker protested
she signed the odd agreement and
turned it over to him.
"Pete'S' good resolutions apparent
ly did not last very long, however. for
the testimony showed that the very
next month, September. 1910, she
went away with Parker and lived
with him until the end of October in
hotel at Elmsford, Westchester. In
November Pete and Parker lived
together in Manhattan.
Mr.. Graves sued on August 2d last.
Pete then informed his attorneys
that she would meet them at the Astor
House and accept service of papers.
She did so. but would not tell them
where she lived. Her present where
abouts are unknown.
1t was testified in yesterdays pro-
ceedinSs, which were undefended. that
Mrs. Graves had said:
Il want my husband to get the di-
Vorce, so that l may remarry and 90
TO Honolulu. l have given Ernie the
best years of my life, and now / have
found man who is more congenial.
Just who Robert T.. Parker is did
not appear. Neither his address nor
occupation came out in the testimony.
Mr.. Graves has been practically i'm
retirement in his home since his wife
deserted him.
