CLAIMS TO HAVE A DOCUMENT SIGNED BY HIS WIFE GRANTING HIM HER MONEY IN CASE OF SEPARATION.

Pittsburg. Feb. Although the Thaw family is weary of i-ourts and litigation because of the experience!- of the last year and a half, the attorneys for the Thaw cs'ate and the members of t lie family ;uc lilanninx a vigorous fijiht against the demand of the Karl of Yarmouth that all the fortune of his wife, who was Miss Alice Thaw, f-liali be turned over to him in ihe event she secures a decree of divorce. Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the C'ountes.-j of Yarmouth, has lxen so fully occupied with the trial of her Hon, Harry, in New York, ever :,ince the start line; claim of th Karl was made;, that she has given liule thought to tho financial troubles of her daughter. The lawyers for the estate left by William Thaw, however, have t..hen the matter in their own hands, and for ten days have been planning ways to defeat the designs of tin- titled British husband to the entire fortune of his American wife by virtue of an ente-nuptial agreement signed by her. The news of this agreement wii.j a presu surprise to the Thaw family and attorneys. Earl Claims Contract Exists. It came in the form of a notice from the lawyers for the Karl of Yarmouth that the Ka'l has in his possession an Agreement .signed by Miss Alice Thaw on the day before she became the Countess of Yarmouth providing; that, in the event of her iL-aih wjrhout children her entire fortunes shall go to the Hertford fami'v. This official noiice. the Thaw attorneys believe, nienns that the Karl does not Intend to let his wife's Millions go out of the. family if she phould be successful in her uit. for an luinulment of the marriage. It is also declared that this agreement shows at least one of the reasons for the charges made bv the Countess in her sr.it. The Countess assorts that there hs ben no real inariiage unci the question of heirs is expected to come up at i-ie trial of the suit. Earl Foresees Lean Years. It Is the contention of the Kail, according to his lawyers, that if the Countess withdraws from the family the houue of lterlford, which is poor, v'!' rr'onsl.v injured and its good li.'i -ered.

Cohan outdid himself when he wrote, composed and staged "The Honeymooners" which comes to the Gennett February He gave the song play a. snappy, exciting plot crowded with logical complication, he wrote brilliant humorous dialogues, composed a score of Fong hits, worked out a dozen delightful dances for two score pretty girls ;:nd then finding out what a good thing he had produced, played it himself all last, summer at the New Amsterdam theatre. New York and at $2 a seat, played to capacity when the thermometer was at its highest. "The Honeymooners"

:der the terms of the

ngreement h'-r fortune should be turned over to the Karl. The Karl is S!id to have received large sums from trades people and money lenders on the strength of this I'greement and has been able to lead n luxurious life since his marriage. The lawyer.-; for the Thaw estate, while they ridicule the claim, admit thnt it Is a clever plan to secure a settlement and extort a substantial t'inanrial settlement before the Countess is granted an annulment of her marriage Knd allowed to leave him. To Bare Yarmouth Skeletons. London, Feb. Friends of the Countess of Yarmouth, speaking for Iter, declare that tho contention of the Karl that the fortune which Jliss Alice Thaw brought him as a dot. is his because of a piv-nuptial agreement is outrageous, ind will be vigorously contested. The statement concerning the Karl of Yarmouth's position cabled here from Pittsburg;, was received with astonishment. It has aroused the fighting blood of the Countess?, and through Iter friends she has let it be known that should any such claim be presented in court it will preclDitate a lniter contest in which no members of the noble Hertford family will be spared. The Countess had planned an amicable conduct of her case, but any effort to exact blood-money by the Karl will be met by revelations which she tad determined to conceal.

In addition to other numerous events planned for the race meet at the Or-moml-DHv ton Beach course, there will be an invitation race of 150 miles for gentlemen drivers. Through the efforts of the Savannah Automobile Club it is probable that the American Automobile Association will hold one or more longdistance races in Georgia in the sprinc. The government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Brazil, has Rranted concessions to several syndicates which will operate automobile lines between cities not reached by railroads. A promoter of Butte. Mont., has ordered three tourinsr cars, equipped vith camping outfits, to use in transporting prospective customers to the

various properties under his control. One thousand invitation were issued to socially prominent individuals and officials for tlu private view of the Importer' Salon, in New York,

just prior to the show's formal openIn?. William E. Corey, head of the Steel Trust, is one of the latest victims of New York police zeal, the driver of a taxicab in which he was riding being nabbed on a charge of speeding. Automobile schools are conducted by branches of the Young Men's Christian Association in 1ft cities of the United States, most of them with the co-operation of the local automobile clubs. The Automobile Club of Springfield. Mass., has started a movement for the improvement of the last remaining link of poor road on the route most traveled between New York and Boston. A consular vc-porr from Smyrna tells of tlw increase of motor boatinein Asiatic Turkey, where American craft seem to be the favorites despite ihe almost prohibiiative transportation charges-.

i Through the eltor'S of !h New ! York Automobile Trade Association 1

two more steamship lines have agreed i

to allow gasoline trucks the same freedom of their piers in that city as horsedrawn vehicles. An Akron (O.) firm, one of the largest rubber manufacturing concerns in the United States, has decided to compete with French tire-makers on their own ground, and has opened a branch office in Paris. Because of the shortage of gasoline in India, the Motor Union of that country was forced to abandon its reliability trials, which were to have been held the past week until the first week in Februarj-. That autos can go wherever horsedrawn sledges can go has been proven by the ascent of the desolate, snowclad peak of Mont Genevre, in the Alps. A 30-horse-power car made the summit at a lively clip. In an advertising contest conducted by a New York coffee importer the first prize of $2,000 was won by the advertising manager of an automobile building company, who decried freak schemes and advocated the persistent

use of daily newspapers.

Paris. Feb. :', Ferdinand Pinney Karle, the American artist, his affinity, Miss Julia Kuttner. and his wife, are reported to be u companionable party taking little pieasure trips in Southern France, while Mrs. Kurle's

father, C. F. Fischbacher. is using his influence in Paris to secure an early decree of divorce. Miss Kuttner and Farle, who- enjoy the distinction of being the "original affinities" in the United States, will, it is understood, marry as soon as the decree is granted. The decree is expected to be granted soon. New York, Feb. 3 News from Paris that Mrs. Ferdinand Pinney Earle expects to secure a decree of divorce at an early date, and that her husband will at once marry his affinity. Miss Julia Kuttner, caused no surprise to the relatives and friends of the families here. This course was understood to have been agreed upon before Mrs. Earle relinquished her claims upon her husband to Miss Kuttner, sailed for Europe last September, after requesting them to marry. Romance Startles New York. New Y'ork was startled last September when it read in the papers the strange story of the Earles and Miss Kuttner, whose home was in Bethlehem, Pa. The strands of romance and tragedy had been weaving around these three for some time before the public was taken into their confidence. Earle, well known as an artist and philanthropic worker in New York, had married ten years before in Paris while studying art. Every one thought their home life was happy. Last, summer Earle went to Europe alone

to the deathbed of his brother. When he returned a woman followed him to his home. She was Miss Julia Kuttner, whom he had met abroad. For ten days the home kept its secret. Then it was announced that Mrs. Earle would return to her father in Paris, secure a divorce and let Earle

and Miss Kuttner marry. Wife Assents to All. Earle confirmed the story. "Yes." he

i said, "it is true. Miss Kuttner and I believe we have neen married and always shall be. My wife understands all and agrees to this course cheerfully. There is no other way for any of

us to be happy. My wife and I have not been happy for several years. Why? I cannot tell. Perhaps because we are not affinities." Mrs. Earle was called ami nodded bravely in affirmation of her husband's statement. A few days later

she sailed for Europe, leaving her hus

band and the woman he loved in her old home, in Orange County. The neighbors did not approve of

I the arrangements. And a few weeks later Earle and Miss Kuttner and her ; mother left the country place and : sailed for Europe, where all of the principals in the tragic romance have been since.

The importance of organizing forestry work throughout the counties of

the state is emphasized in the report of YY. II. Freeman, secretary of th" state board of forestry, which has just been submitted to Governor Hanly. The report says that the appropriation for this department is not now sufficient to carry out this plan. Between liis duties at the state forest, reservation and his office duties. Mr. Freeman says he has no time to devote to systematic forestry work out in the fctate. He suggests that the legislature provide for an assistant to have charge of the class of work which is now neglected. It Is stated in the report also that laws giving the toresto ooh.u note extensive supervision of shade and ornamental trees growing along the highways and streets are necessary. These trees, it is stated should be protected from telephone and telegraph linemen. Mr. Freeman expresses his appreciation of the good work done by the press along forestry lines in creating a sentiment in favor of preservation cf the forests. He believes also that the farmers in their institutes may do much to encourage forestry work. Arbor Day Work. Much attention is given to Arbor day work. The report gives a number of suggestions for the best methods of planting trees. The report says that forests are not only valuable in a commercial way, but that they will supply health and vigor to those who are compelled to go back to nature. For this reason it is urged that ministers, through the pulpit and through the men's clubs of the church

es", take up forestry discussion and j

plead for the preservation of the timber supply. In regard to the duties j to be performed by the schools, the re

port admonishes that this work be done with care. In addition to these suggestions, the report contains a discussion of improvement work which is being carried forward at the state reservation at Henryville. The roadmaking. it is said, will be completed fully within the next year.
