CITY PAID $11ooOO FOR MEETING AND WILL GET ITS MONEY
 BACK.
FACILITIES ARE WRETCHED
Hard to Get Elevator in Big Hotels and Dining Room Service Is Abominable to
 Delegates.

Baltimore, June 26.-Baltimore paid S110,000 to get the Democratic na- tional convention and it will get it's money back. The Democratic nation al committee added $110,000 to it's funds by designating Baltimore as the convention city and thereby incon- venienced about everybody directly or indirectly connected with the conven- tion Complaints of the poor accom- modations and of the disregard of the comfort of guests in some of the ho- tels, due entirely to the lack Of proper facilities, are to be heard on all sides.
 "To save time, walk up stairs" That is the sign that has been placed in prominent position in the Hotel Belvedere. and it means just what it says. Both there and at the Emerson the elevator service has been deplora- bly inadequate Stair clim ping is not pleasant exercise for a fat delegate, especially when he has paid S20 a day for a twelfth-foor room.
 If it were not for the muggy heat the visitors might take all the other discomforts good-naturedly, but hot weather and crowds form a combina- uon calculated to make people cross and fault-fnding The burden of the complaints is this: Why on earth did the national committee pick Balti- more as the convention city? And the answer is: One hundred and ten thousand dollars.
 The Baltimore police are as inter- ested in the show as are others. The hotel doors always are blocked by newsboys and taxicab drivers and oth- CTS who in other cities would be kept away from the doors It is virtually impossible to get into the hotels with out pushing and elbowing and being crowded and pulled about
 The fact that the chief hotels are small fortune to the taxicab men. It costs $1 to make the trip between the two places and an extra 50 cents if the cab is held five minutes, $2.50 for the round trip of mile and a half.
 Two things save the situation. One is the uniform courtesy of the Balti- moreans, who seem really anxious to guide and direct and help the visitors and to retain for the city its general high reputation for hospitality. The other is the convention hall of which the city and the committee on ar engagements are proud, and which Hooks good" to probably all those who have seen it.

THAW's WIFE IS IN FEAR
EVELYN NESBlT WISHES HER

White Plains, N. Y, June 26.-Eve- lyn Nesbit Thaw fears if her husband gets out of Matteawan he will at tempt to kill her, she testified at the hearing of Harry K. Thaw's applica- tion for release from the asylum on the contention that he is now sane.

 Mrs. Thaw seemed excited when she made this declaration, but Thaw put fan up to his face, and with a smile turned to his mother and whispered something to her which made her smile. Thaw hardly glanced at his wife while she was on the stand, and she, apparently, was not aware he was in the room, as not once did she look in his direction.
 Mrs. Thaw declared she was an un- willing witness q have always want ed to have my marriage annulled and get out of this business" she said She is still being paid $500 a month by Thaw.
 Clifford w. Hartridge, Thaw's form CT counsel, and Dr. Charles G. Wag- ner, head of the state hospital for the insane at Binghamton, were witness es.
