BIG RISE AT MORGAN CITY.

A telephone call to Morgan City
by The Chronicle last night re-
vealed the fact that the flood con-
ditions IN that city are most alarm
ing, the water having already COW
cred the lower residential Sec
ton of the town and is reported
to be rising steadily. Flood sig
nails are out in the city, further
rises having been predicted by
the weather bureau.
From information gained last
night at 10 o'clock Railroad ave.
nue. for two blocks up from the
depot is under six inches of wa
ter and Front street for two
blocks south of the depot is in the
same condition. The floor Of the
market house located on the edge
of the river last night was COW
cred with water.
On the north side Of the rail-
road tracks people are unable to
move about without boats and at
the present time it is not an un-
common sight to see the citizens
of Morgan City in that district
making their way around in motor
boats and skiffs.
Despite the threatening condi.
tons in Morgan City the Chroni.
Gle was informed last night that
the people Of the city did not ap
pear to be worried to any great
extent. The merchants evidently
do not anticipate any serious dam
age to their stocks as a result o.
the food waters, none OF then
having made any preparations II

The water has been rising stead

twenty-four hours, the averag
rise being about two inches day

DENIES EVELYN
THAW HASCHILD
New York Report Says She
Has One 21 Months Old.
Special By United Press Wire.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 13:-"The re-
port that Evelyn Thaw is the mother
of twenty-one months old baby is
not true" said RodRer o Mara, the de-
tective today. O'Mara had assisted
the Thaw family in the fight for Har-
ry's freedom for years and is consid-
cred familiar with the family affairs.
This statement was made following the
published report from New York to
the effect that with a baby twenty-one
months old, Evelyn Thaw is in that
city today preparing to withdraw from
the life Of Harry X. Thaw, her hus-
band, slayer of Stanford White and
now held as an insane man at Mattea-
wan.
The child, according to the report,
was born in Hamburg, Germany, a lit
tie less than a year after the last test
Of Thaw's sanity In White Plains in
July and August, 1909. This is the
first time that it has figured publicly
in the life Of the young chorus girl
wife. The report says she is preparing
to seek an independent life for the
child s sake.
1t is said Evelyn is willing to give
up the $4,000 year provided for her
by Thaw She wants Thaw s three
checks totaling $4,000, payment on
which was stopped shortly after they
were given TO her by the Thaw family
after Harry's commitment to Mattea-
wan.

DR. Meinzer's machine passed and,
not seeing the Overland car of MIR.
Hansen's going in the same direc-
tion, he released the hold on tho
boy and told him to run home. But
few seconds after the child had
left his father, he was struck. 1t ss
believed the forward part of the
car, probably the radiator, struck
the boy in the forehead and under
the right eye. The blow on the left
side Of the forehead fractured the
child's skull. The machine passed
over the body of the child but none
of the wheels touched It, The car
was stopped within fifty feet of
where the PROSTATE form laid. The
frantic father rushed from the brick
wagon to the side of his son and
Conquest took the form in the auto
to take 1t to the city hospital, but
death beat him out by a long dis
tance.
IVersen is the father OF a large
family and is grief stricken over the
loss of his son. The accident so un-
nerved him that he almost collapsed
a short time afterward Messrs.
Hansen and Conquest were much af-
fected by the fatality. The latter
says 1t was the first accident of its
kind that has befallen him in all OF
his years Of experience with auto
mobiles.
lversen and other members of his
family eXonerate Messrs. Conquest
and Hansen of all blame They told
Conorer James j. FLYNN that the
accident was unavoidable. He made
an Investigation and arrived at the
conclusion that Conquest was not
speeding and could hardly be held
accountable for the accident. The
coroner believes the little victims
skull was fractured by the forward
lamp on the right side of the ma
chine, as several blood stains were
found on it.
The funeral viii be held from the

2ND FERRYB0AT
The "Hoboken" of D. L. & W.
Recently Tested Here May
be Named "Tottsnviiie."
NOW AT CLIFTON SHOPS
Will Run in Conjunction With
Perth Amboy"-- --MusiC
on Local Ferry.

The ferryboat Hoboken, formerly
owned by the d. l.. & w. railroad
and operated between Hoboken and
New York, has been purchased by
the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Railroad company to run between
this city and Tottenville in conjunc-
ton with the ferryboat Perth Am
boy, now in use. The Hoboken was
purchased by the Rapid Transit COM
pany last week following trial of
the boat here on April so, as told in
the NEWS at the time.
The Hoboken is now at the repair
shops of the Rapid Transit at Cliff
ton Station, Staten Island, receiving
a general looking over, before it VIII
be put into service. superintendent
P. H. Cassidy, of the Rapid Transit
in a conversation this morning, said
the new boat would be put on as
soon as the traffic warrants 1t. The
boat, he said, is to relieve the con-
gestion particularly on Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays when the au-
tomobile traffic Ia the heaviest, and
during and time that foot ball
game Is to be held at Princeton that
brings many autoists across the fer
ry. The ferryboat Hoboken has
more deck room than the Perth AM
boy and consequently can carry more
automobiles. 1t Is over zoo feet
long and has ample cabin room.
The boat was purchased from
Captain Emery, superintendent of
floating equipment of the D. l.. &
w. railroad. 1t will probably be
put on for the first time next Satur
day at the change of schedule for
the summer.
When the change Of the name of
the boat to Tottenville was suggest
ed by a NEWS correspondent Mr.
Cassidy smiled and said that was an
after col sideration. 1t was pointed
out as the one boat was named Perth
Amboy 1t would be nice to have the
other town honored by its name.
Another innovation by the Rapid
Transit on the local ferry is music
every Saturday and Sunday and hol-
idays during the summer. This was
started on Saturday.

NO BLAME PLACED ON DRIVER

A few seconds after he had been
held in fond embrace by his father,
Iver 1versen, Jr, five year old son
of lver lyersen, a laborer of 402
Ogden place, was struck and killed
by Abel Hansen's Overland automo-
bile while driven by Alexander Con
quest at New Brunswick avenue and
Ogden place, Saturday afternoon.
The little victim was struck on the
forehead and below the right eye.
Death was caused by a fractured
skull. When the PROSTATE form
was picked up by Conquest and the
boys father there still appeared to
be a sign of life within the body and
putting on all speed, Conquest head
ed for the city hospital.
Dies In Automobile.
The little victim expired almost
before the gears had been thrown
into high speed and the body was
taken home. Conquest and Abel

went to police headquarters imme-
diately after the accident and gave
themselves up. Both We're held on

owner of two ceramic factories and
lives at 113 Gordon street. Mr.
Conquest is owner of the Conquest
garage in High street and lives at
Smith and High streets.
Conquest says he was running
the car about ten miles an hour
when the fatality occurred. Wit
nesses declare he was going consid-
erably faster, but just how fast none
of them appear to be in a position
to state. Detective Sergeants Huff
and Long have worked in conjunc-
tion with Chief of Police Burke in
securing witnesses and other evi-
denCe for the use of the county.
The prosecutor has asked for all the
evidence obtainable in the case, in
an effort to learn If the accident was
due to any carelessncss or reckless
driving.
