Well, In February, 1900, Mrs. Amanda
Caskie Yeager had the good fortune to meet
boy from college preparatory school. the
young SON Of very rich New York banker.
This was young Herbert Thomas. Mrs. Yea
ger accepted the most liberal and most init
mate attentions from the high school boy
and as soon as she could get rid Of Yecger
she married the bankers boy Herbert
Thomas And there is where large BUNDLE
of money came from in 1900 to supply her
clothes and pay her expenses-during that
year while she was still Mrs. Yeager, but
not yet Mrs Thomas.
The Yeager divorce and the marriage to
the Thomas boy were both early in 1901
Amanda was known as one of the best
dressed women in chorus girl circles--young
Thomas paid for thousands of dollars worth
Of clothes.
And so the Thomas money was spent with
princely prodigality until it was all gone.
In the panic Of 1907 the Thomas fortune was
wiped out; father and son were practically
penniess
But Amanda Thomas was resourceful
Just as she slid from Yeager to Thomas. so
now she nimbly stepped into another com.
Portable financial nest
Her youthful husband lost everything in
I907-but Mrs. Thomas had more money
and clothes and servants than ever before !!
She had met Theodore P. Shonts in 1906
just in time
Mrs Thomas did not get her divorce
from Herbert Thomas until 1914. All those
years when Vhe was living in style in the
Thirty-6fth street house and going abroad
travelling all over Europe and America with
Shonts up to 1914 she was still the wife of
Herbert Thomas
Readers Of these pages will remember
Mrs. Thomas New York town house. her
retinue Of servants her gorgeous wardrobe
of clothes, her travels in Europe. But where
did the money come from? She still was
Mrs Herbert F. Thomas; was still his wife,
but Thomas hadn I cent, didn't live with
her, couldn't pay and didn I pay dollar Of
her expenses all those years. Shonts was
daily and nightly visitor, as the detectives
reports have shown--and Shonts was her
companion on the trips to Europe. Shonts
was a married man. Amanda was married
woman-Mrs Thomas will be asked to ex.
plain to the jury who was paying her bills

The BIRD TREATY

p1RDS, though clever, and particu
- larly skilled in establishing theil
residences under the most favorable
climatic conditions, are disdainful of
national boundary lines. 1t is this indif :
ference which in part created the neces-
sity for the adoption by this country
and Canada of uniform regulations con-
cerning our migratory winged visitors.
The specter of state rights was re-
Gently invoked to dispute the constitu-
tionality Of federal law enforcing an
Anglo America treaty harmonizing the
protective rules affecting bird popula-
tions invading both this country and
Canada But the Supreme Court, which
has the excellent habit of looking into
the spirit as we'll as the technical as
poets of a law. has wisely decided this
benign one to be valid.
The check on bird slaughter. which
has sometimes been sanctioned by lax
state laws. was long due. The next step
should be some similar co operative ar
rangement with Mexico when the gov
ernment Of that distressed republic is
sufficiently responsible to give practical
aid
As it is. the birds are already more
fortunate than some millions of the
human family. They are the benehcia-
ries Of treaty.
