WHEREUPON DAN CAREY BLUSHES VERY, VERY PINK The Georgian reporter as he ram bled Into the outsklrta of Mayor Wood- ward'a office Tuesday morning received a greeting which was so hearty that apaprently there was something back of It. Dan Carey extended the'glad hand of welcome and Immediately suggested that they wander acrosa to the Greeks and have a dope. All of thla would not have been noticeable had not Dan been Just a little "sore" tor the post few days because of a line which appeared In The Georgian In connection with a letter received from the mayor of Kobe, Japan, asking Mayor Woodward to allow him the privilege ever to re main his moat obedient servant and Incidentally to honor him with a report or two on municipal affairs. It was stated In The Georgian at the time that the letter was written In English and that Secretary Dan Carey wae prepar ing an answer In Japanese. he reports were sent to Mayor Woodward's most obedient servant across the Pacific, seven pounds of them In two packages, the malls not being willing to handle more than four pounds In a single parcel—and that, ‘or a time, waa the end of the matter. Tuesday morning, however, from the far-off Borough of Brooklyn, the City of Homes—which may b# significant— cams a daintily addressed envelope with Just a tint of blue pigment In the texture of the paper. Dsn Carey, to whom It was addressed, pored over Its oonMntp for some Hint* 'or I it u elds down and ngnln concentrated sight and sense. In rapid succession be IMfl examined It from every nnglo known to mathemattce, but to no avail. Tho truth finally dawned on him from the single American phrase, "The Atlanta Georgian." Tho mayor had not put In his ap pearance and would not for some time, so Dan hied himself to a Jap of his acquaintance. The above Is a literal translation of the communication. Not daunted. Don sat down nnd penned off two letters, addressed to a well-known publisher of Gotham, aay- | the truth dawned on them, and ex' dtement followed. Wrote Husband Note. Thaw did not notice the presence of the architect until hie, attention was attracted by the agitation of his wife. This account of the Incident was given by Thaw In an Interview after his ar rest: "We were alt at Martin's.” said Thaw. "I was sitting some distance from my wife. * Suddenly I saw her get very pate and begin to ahlver. I thought ahe was ill. I made a motion to Inquire what was the matter, and 'he called a waiter and wrote a note, " hlch ehe sent around the table to me. "The note said: 'The dirty black guard la here.' Then I turned and saw the fat scoundrel sitting there, big and healthy, and then I saw her and how *he was." Architect Tries to Rise. Thaw would not say any more con- ■ "rnlng the occurrence. It Is known, however, that White left' the cafe ac- •ompenled by Truxton Beale and An drew McColeb. of California, and went to Manhattan Club. From there he «ent to his apartment In the tower of Madison Square Garden, remaining there until 10 o’clock, then returning to the club and back to the garden. He entered the roof garden and took a seat at a table a few minutes before 11 o'clock. The Thaws went directly from the cafe to the garden. They sat for some time on the north aide of the “Udltorium. Then Mr*. Thaw went !*hind the acenea to vlalt borne frlenda. Thaw paced up and down the alalea. He wore an evening ault and a Ion# raincoat. He waa at the far end of *he western aisle when White entered. White went to a table near the aisle t*> the south. He chattel for a min* with Harry Stevens, the caterer.

Led- erer, the theatrical manager, formerly of New York, now of the Colonial the ater here,' last night told about the friendship between Stanford White and the former Miss Florence Evelyn Nesblt, now Mrs. Harry Thaw. Mr. Lederer Introduced Miss Nesblt to the stage. He said: "Miss Nesblt whs the daughter of a Pittsburg lawyer, and when she was 12 years old her father died, leaving an estate much Involved. His widow- found It was necessary for her to pitch In and make a living, and she went to Philadelphia, where for a couple of years Evelyn posed as a model. Then she moved to New York, where ehd continued to pose. *• "When she was only IS or 12 years Old she met Mr. WJilte. and subse quently be become a close friend of her and her mother'*.

Thaw drew a revolver from his overcoat pocket and flred two shots at White In rapid sue- ilon. then after a long Interval, a third shot White tumbled out of his 1 chair dead. , , - Thaw turned and emptied the re maining cartridges , from his revolver as ir to show those around him there would be no more shooting. Then came the excitement that such an af fair would cause In a theater. Thaws setxure by a fireman and his arrest by Policeman Debbs. ■ "Is he dsadr Thaw asked the pojloe- an. ••Yes.” was the reply. "Well. I'm glad that I made a good Job of It.” said Thaw. At the tenderloin police station Thaw tlrely platonic. He was a persistent first nlghter and liked pretty girls. "He took a strong personal Interest In the Nesblts and made them comfort able In every way. Rubsequently the girl went on the stage, appearing In "Worodora" at the Casino. Mr. White remained her very tonal friend and she In turn was grateful to him: - "8he Is of frivolous disposition and no doubt refused to break off her friendship for him after marrying young Thaw, who Is a cigarette fiend, and always seemed half erased to me when I saw him. "Now, Mr. White was a great 'rounder.' His close friends In the old- . r days were Freddy Gebhardt and Tom Clark, but'from all I observed, and from, talking many times with Miss Nes- blt's mother, I am firmly convinced that hts friendship for Miss Nesblt and the help he gave her grew out of sheer good-heartedness, of course, ‘lie was a man who always liked !o talk to pretty pirls and to be with t8em."
