Here's EyelyD'S Side

Atlantic City, June 7-Notwith- standing Harry K. Thaws Qualif- cation of her assertions. Evelyn l Nesbit declared again today she had become reconciled with him and that he would buy her a house and take care of her in the future. He will also care for her son. Rus sell. she said. and send the boy through college. Thaw, she added, has denied what she said yester- day in her home here because he shuns publicity and is afraid of his family.
 Clifford Marriage Factor
 Miss Nesbit would not say whether or not she and Thaw con. templated re-marriage, and assert cd she would have nothing 10 say about that until she learned whether she is still married to Jack Clifford. Clifford brought a suit for divorce in 1924 and obtained judgment by default, but later the case was reopened by the courts so she could defend 1t.
 Perhaps I am still married to Jack Clifford" she said. "I believe my legal status Is that of his wife and I am afraid he would obstruct matters if he knew that Mr. Thaw wanted to marry me"
 Miss Nesbit said her lawyer. Bur ton Gaskill. was Investigating the Clifford case for her and that she would soon know whose wife she is. Gaskill came here today with Thaw's lawyer, Frank r. Johnston, and held three-hour conference with Miss Nesbit. She said they talked about my future plans"
 She Says She Will Get House
 These. she explained. involved the purchase of an s1S,000 home opposite the Atlantic City Country club at Northfeld. This project was begun by Johnston last year but was held up because Of various circumstances. Miss Nesbit said Johnston has now been authorized by Thaw 10 go ahead with the pur- chase of the property and that soon she and Russell would go there 10 live.
 That will be the first step" she declared.
 Miss Nesbit said that she and Thaw would have been reunited long ago had it not been for Thaw's
  family. Thaw, she was sure, will return to Atlantic City next Thurs day. or, at any rate. before Sunday, and there will then be further an- nouncements.

While the expedition was wintering land re-ftting in Peking. and waiting 3or the barriers of Chinese civil war Ito lift and open the way for re- sumption of its researches in Mon- goia, Granger went to the Yangtze 10 investigate. Returning to Picking he told how he had found the 'dra- gans" to be from thirty-nve to forty animals forms of the plcistoCene or ice age.

Along the top of this ridge there have been pits ten to twelve feet across former by the action Of water on the soft rock. They are now filed with mud and by digging in this mud the natives produce literally tons of bones yearly which they sell to dealers for shipment to .Chunking.
 The excavations. resembling wells, are often 75 to 1oo feet deep. The salvaEed bones are dried. cleaned and piled in q corner of the farmers house, waiting for the dealer 10 come along. l adopted thc plan of visiting the natives engaged in this work. encouraging them 10 take special care with the skulls, for which I offered a price above the dragon hone market.
 The Chinese were much i'm pressed, Granger said, by his ability to spot" missing pieces Of q skeleton or skull tn inc piles Of bone accumulated, some times in tho corner of room. sometimes under Q bed, and credited him with having q special gift Of vision.

 Miss Nesbit said yesterday Thaw was buying an $18,000 home for her opposite the Atlantic City Country club at Northfeld, which she would occupy with her son, Russell. Thaw was not so sure of his.
 Brought Together by His Book
 "I'll do a little something for her." he declared. She won't atarve. I always give her an allow ance when she doesn't kick up too much of q fuss. AS for educating the boy, why should I educate him? I'm not interested in him."
 It was the fact that her son was accused of not paying a bill at the Congress hotel, Chicago, and she was greatly troubled over the re- port, that brought them together coupled with the forthcoming pub lication of Thaw's life story.
 Miss Neshit was greatly worried, and not without cause" he com- monted. But it was really the book that brought us together. We are excellent friends now. I shall 500 her once month.
