prints the following:
In the traditions of gay life In New
York there la no Incident more pic
turesque nor better remembered than
that of “The qirl In the Pie."
A banquet was In progress In Jamca
Creese's studio. The studio waa a syn
onym of luxury. The entertainments
given there were Lucullan In charac
ter, and a truthful description of them
would read like a chapter from "Quo
Vadls." In this Instance, the boat had
surpassed all 'his former munificent
hospitality.
The "little spread." as Mr. Breeze
chose to designate It, cost 9150 a plate.
Artists, architects and men about
town, prltb several women of the
"fashionable" stratum of tha under
world. were hla guests. There had
been much drinking and little eating,
toasta brilliant but requiring expurga
tion for family use, and tha hour was
nearing dawn. The guests ware try
ing politely to repress signs of weari
ness when the host served hla plecs
de rsslstanca.
Girl Burzts Pit’s Crust
Four negroes sntered, carrying a
huge pie, around which were grouped
wax candles of .vary shade. Tht ne
groes retired. The banqueters looked
on In amased silence. Beneath the
crust. In tha mlddlt of tha tabls, there
waa a faint stir, as If from tome liv
ing thing. At a sign from Mr. Breeze
the orchestra, concealed by palms,
swung Into tht strains of ths old
nurssry jungle:
Simultaneously the stir beneath the
crust Increased. It was burst by a
movement from beneath, and there
rose a slim figure, half 'child, half
woman, who turned a pretty Infantile
bird about to- fly, while twenty-four
golden canaries, that had been im
prisoned In cages with her, released
bv her hand, flew about In every di
rection.
Taken by Stanford White,
One of the men sitting at the end
of the table rose and pressed his way
to the middle. He laughingly lifted
the girl from the table to the floor.
He was Stanford White.
The girl was Susie Johnson, a child
model. She was then It years old.
Immediately after ths dinner she dis
appeared. Her mother, who lived at
lOi Eighth avenue, nought the aid of
the police and the press to And the
girl, but they were unsuccessful.
For three years she remained In hid
Ing. When she was found she told a
revolting story of mistreatment and
desertion by the man whom Nemeals
overtook In the midst of lights and
m file and laughter on Monday night.
Turned Into the Street.
“I was lifted from the pie to a seat
at the tabls, and found myself ths
queen of the revel,” she said,
was daxxling for a little while, but In
the end It proved a sad queendom.
"Mr. Whip was kind for a short
time, but he went to Europe, and when
he returned and I tried to see him
he waa never In. He had Instructed
his clerks to gat rid of me with as
little trouble ss possible. I never saw
him again.”
Thu* was the girl, not yet sixteen,
turned Into the streets to live as aha
might.
By a strange coincidence, Susie
Johnson married, snd when her hus
band learned of the "girt In the pie”
dinner he brooded over the episode
In his wife’s life until he almost be
came Insane. It ended, not In Harry
Thaw’s way, but by hla desertion of
her.
CANDY FACTORY GIRLS WALK OUT
AND THEN WALK RIGHT BACK IN
What those addicted to slang might
call the “candy kids’’ and others the
sweet girls, crested some little ex
citement at Block's candy and crack
er factory on Ellis street, near West
Hunter, by "striking,” or having a
“walk out.” After reconsidering the
matter, many ef them derided to come
back and are now at work again. For
a few "days, however. It looked ns
thought there was to be a candy famine
In the sticky stick line, which would
have greatly Inconvenienced tha chil
dren, to say nothing of Mr. Block.
The walkout was confined to the
stick randy department. Some thirty
girls, mostly helpers, decided that their
wages should be higher and hours
shorter. After holding a number of
meetings the decision was reached to
leave unless something watt done by
the owners of the big establishment.
This was carried Into effect last Satur
day, but Thursday morning many of
the girls were back In their old posi
tions.
Mr. Block said Thursday that he
had about all the employees he wanted.

BROTHER OF ARCHITECT
18 TO PROSECUTE THAW
By Private Leased Wire.
Denver. Colo.,- June 28.—Zeph
White, brother of Stanford White, who
has lived In Denver nearly four years,
will leave for New York today to look
after his brother's family and to see
that Harry K. Thaw Is punished. ,The
brother has not seen Stanford White
for seven years. He hae been working
as a cutter for a fashionable tailor.
My brother." said White, "was the
most lovable of men. He was kind
ness personified and was constantly
doing things for other people. He was
fond of actresses, and waa sometimes
very careless In his relations with
them, 1 must admit, but had been very
good to Evelyn Nesblt. I only knew
her slightly, as all New Yorkers knew
her. but I soon learned how ahe and
my brother stood. There was provoca
tion for Thaw's act, but still I can
find no excuse for him when I think
of Stanford.
"Thaw was a man with too much
money and too title brains. My broth
er was a man of brains, though with
comparatively little money.”
“The Felder committee It the nearer
right, according to the evidence,’’ said
Chairman W. W. Btark, of the sub
committee, Thursday afternoon. "We
are agreed on that. If we had power
we would do away with both commit
tees. The appointment of managers
and clerks as agreed will make this
unnecessary.
“The white voters of Fuiton county
ware, in our opinion, given no oppor
tunity properly to expreee themselves
in either meeting.’’
Tho Fulton county row lias been set
tled.
The sub-committee appointed by
Chairman Yeomans, of the state execu
tive committee, will meet Thursday af
ternoon to deride which of the rival
Democratic executive committees In
this county shall be recognized. That
the meeting will be a brief and har-
moqloun one Is assured by the fact
that Chairman W. TV. Stark, of Com
merce, already holds the proxies of the
other members and could state at this
time the action to be taken—If he
would.
The members of the sub-committee
are Chairman Stark, Hon. Frank Park,

villa, and Judge J. B. Burnside, of
Hamilton. Judge Burnside Is In the
city and will be present at the meet
ing: Chairman Stark, hold! the prox
ies of the remaining members.
"We shall meet this afternoon and
take up the matter,” said Mr. Stark
Thursday afternoon. "1 must decline
to state which committee will be rec

agreed and we have notified Chairman
Yeomans of the state committee. You
