SECRETS REVEALED.
Evelyn Thaw Tells How Thaw Family
'Bilked' Her.

New York, Aug. 27.-Secrets hitherto
unrevealed as to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw' 8
relations witt the family of her hus-
band, Harry K. Thaw, We're revealed at
a hearing on the young wife's bank
ruptcy before Referee Dexter here yes
terday.
Mrs. Thaw testified that Mrs. Mary
Copley Thaw. her motherin-law, con-
tracted with her in 1907 or 1908 that
providing Evelyn should bring action
to annul her marriage with Thaw, she
would receive $4,000 in cash and 81 600
a month for the rest of her life.
In compliance with this agreement
she said that she had brought the suit
for annulment and had received three
checks for $1,000 each. She said these
had never been paid.
Can you tell whv those checks have
never been honored?" she was asked
by Attorney Offenbach, who represents
creditors suing the young woman for
silverware.
No" replied the witness.
Have you ever endeavored to have
those checks cashed?''
Yes"
All the checks she added, had later
been turned over to Attorney John
Reilly. her present counsel.
What became of all the funds with
which Mrs. Thaw has provided you?''
asked the lawyer.

IN NICK OF Time.
Explorers Were Nearly Starved When
Relief Came.

Christchurch. N. T.. Aug. 27.-Relief
arrived just in the nick of time to save
the lives of DIR. Douglas Mawson, the
Australian Antarctic explorer and five
companions who were left in March
last in the Antarctic ocean when the
remaining twenty-four members of DR..
Mawson's expedition returned to Tas-
mania.
The six men .tere believed to have
ample provisions to last them until the
Antarctic spring, but the commander
of a government steamer recently sent
to their relief reports that the eX-
plorers had exhausted all their sup
plies and had been living for some time
on the hearts and tongues of sea ele
plants. All of them We're obviously in
a very weak condition when the relief
ship reached them.
DR.. MawsOns expedition was unfor
tunate in losing by death two of it's
members owing to accidents on the ice
Lieut. MINIS, an English army Off
Ger. and DIR. Xavier MertZ, a Swiss
scientist.
The original expedition left Hobart,
Tasmania, Dec. >. 1911, it's principal OBJ
ject being the exploration and survey
of the Antarctic coast line. When the
Aurora went to fetch the explorers
back this year the vessel was forced
to leave before taking on DR.. Mawson
and five of his companions, as she was
in danger of being crushed by the ice.

FRISCO VOTES BONDS.
Will Build and Operate Municipal
Street Railway.

San Francisco Cal. Aug. 27.-The
voted Overwhelmingly to build and op-
crate a series of street railway lines
intended to help furnish transportation
to the Panama Pacific exposition
grounds and % also furnish a nucleus
to a permanent municipal street rail-
way system.
With a two-thirds vote necessary to
carry the bonds, incomplete returns
from all parts of the city indicate that
the victory has been won by from a 2
to l to a to 1 vote The women took
a lively interest, in the election and
registered heavy vote
When the new lines have been COM
pleted the city will be a formidable
competitor of the United Railroads,
which at present practically controls
street railway traffic in the city.
Since the mayor and supervisors de-
cided last April to put the proposal be-
fore the people for $4,000, 900 bond is
sue for this purpose an energetic cam
paign both in support and in opposi-
ton to the bonds has been carried on.
The Examiner. which has for years
been fighting for a municipality owned
street railway system, and whose cam
paign was first marked with success
six months ago, when the city began
operation of the Geary street railway,
led in the fight for the bonds and the
overwhelming victory of today is
largely due to the publicity given the
issue by that paper.

CONNECTED new PUMP
And Water in West Side Mains Muddy
for Awhile.

Water that ranged from slightly to
seriously muddy on the West side late
yesterday afternoon was occasion ed,
according to the water department,
CT account of cutting off the prin-
cipal main leading to the city from
the pumping plant While the new
pump was connected with the main.
The water consequently was forced
through the old main to the city and
had to back up through the new
mains to the West side, stirring up
the residue in the mains.
The big main was cut off only a few
hours while a '.T'' weighing nearly a
ton was lowered into a big hole dug
around the main, and the main was
cut and the '"T' connected to it. The
valves then were opened permitting
the water to follow its usual course.
During the time the water was be-
ing forced through the old mains the
pressure was lowered to about 80
pounds. due to the fact that the pipe
Ines on the West side had to be filled
with back water, and there was some
complaint from those having offices in
the tall buildings.
The new pump had to be connected
IN, according to the officials of the
water department, and the action was
taken with every precaution to avoid
trouble anywhere.

CURRENCY REFORM.
Subject of Discussion at Meeting of
Bankers.

Kansas City, Aug. 27.-Reform in
the currency system in its relation to
farm mortgages was discussed at the
conference of the committee of ayr
cultural development and education
Of the American Bankers association.
The subject was introduced when a
paper prepared by Frank Bailey, q
banker of New York, was read MIR.
Bailey was unable to attend the
meeting.
There should be one or more banks
placed in every state of the Union.
Mr.. Bailey stated in his paper, where
a borrower on a mortgage, having
satisfactory collateral, could borrow
money at standard rate of interest.
The terms of lending and rate of in
terest should be uniform in every
state. The institution lending the
money should be national in scope and
chartered by, the national govern
ment''
W. S. Wells of Platte City, Mo,
chairman of the committee on agricul-
ture and good roads of the Missouri
Bankers association, said it was
largely through the efforts of the
bankers committee that law pro
viding for rural high schools was
passed at the last session of the Mis-
souri, legislature. The report of the
resolutions committee was submitted
TODAY.

AS FAST AS HE CAN.
Tandy Says He Is Pushing Work on
the Bridges.

Undue criticism, Commissioner w.
G. Tandy thinks, has been made upon
the condition of several bridges in the
city, which, up to the present time, he
has been powerless to improve. He
says he is working as rapidly as pos
sible toward the completion of bridge
repair work. but cannot do what he
wants to do on account of lack of
funds.
bridges meant a wait for bridges until
money could be raised by direct tax
alton to build them. Tandy explains.
Since the election failed he has been
working as fast as possible in repairing
such bridges as could be repaired, and
has been planning the erection of 9TH
er bridges when he gets money to do
the work. The budget for the coming
year includes a special levy for bridge
purposes which will take care of the
city's half of two structures, one across
street and the other across the same
stream or Kansas avenue.
Since the failure of the election
of a bond issue the Lincoln street
bridge has been repaired and placed
in safe condition, the commissioner
says. The Lake street bridge has been
rebuilt and considerable concrete
work and a new floor has improved
the Fourth street bridge. Other
bridges. he says, he knows need at
tention, but there is no money to re-
pair them.
At the present rate the commission
ers hope to be able to rebuild, or build
new, two bridges year until the old
structures have been replaced with
new. But it will require considerable
time to accomplish the purpose.
