TWO WIDOWS LEFT
BY ARTHUR
RWIN
Death of Baseball Voteran Re
veals Families Both in
New York and Boston
NEITHER KNEW OF OTHER
MRS. ANNA MAY EVANS
CLARENCE RICE
Mrs. Evans, twenl)-tno jcars old
and mother of a sixteen-month-old
bib), and Clarence Rice hate
been accused of tahliiR household
ccods allied ul fno from M.10
Walton aenue. The iharges were

her husband
New Yorii. July 21. The suicide of
Arthur Irwin, veteran naeebal' player
nnd manacer has revealed an amaslnc
story of donb'e life extending over a
period of twenty -seven yeara.
The former "Yankee" scout had a
wife and married non In New York, to
whom he wns a devoted husband and
father, and a wife, n son. two daugh
ter and nine grandchildren in Boston,
to w4iom he wns equally devoted. Not
even his closest friends knew until yes
lenl.ni of his dual eilstenee.
Ten dnvs mo his nhvslelan told him
the disease from whleS he was siilTering
was Incurable nnd that he had nnlv a
few davs to live. He told his New
York wife he had to go to Boston to
"snv good-bv to his friends," nnd he
was last seen alive when he retired to
his stateroom on the steamship Calvin
Austin, of the Metropolitan Line, last
I Friday night.
I Mrs. Irwin and her son. r. Harold
Irwin, first heard of the Roston family
from a reporter. Thev were In the
widow's apartment at fiO.T AYest ll)2d
street.
j "Marrlod" In Philadelphia
I "1 cannot believe It." Mrs. Irwin
snid. ".Since we were married twenty.
et en years ago In Philadelphia Arthur
has been n model husband. He has sel
dom been away from home for more
' than a dnv or two at a time, and then
bnlv when he was 'scouting for ball
plnvcra "
The Boston widow was seen at her
daughter's cottage near Boston. She
said: .
"I never suspected my husband even
when years ngo members of my family
tried to tell me there was something
wrong In his life thnt there probably
was another woman. Now I cannot
longer refuse to doubt It. I do not
blame my husband half so much as I
blame the other woman."6
She Is Irwln'a first wife. They
were mnrrled In 18S3 nnd their son,
Arthur Herbert Irwin., Is thirty-seven
years old. Alice nnd Edna Irwin, both
of whom arc mnrrled nnd hnve children,
complete the Boston family.
Both Widow Confont
'"I feel confident nnd hnppy In the
belief that although therp was this
other woman, In New York." Mrs. Irwin
continued, "he was on his wav to me
when he died that he wanted to die
In my nrms."
The New York widow, however, felt
equally confident her husband had In
tended to return to Now York to die
after attending to htn Boston business.
His last words at the steamship pier,
Harold Irwin snld, were instructions to
tell his mother to come to New York
from Hartford. Conn., nnd meet hlra
Sunday in the New York apartment.
"He rbv'q me his watch," the son
said. "Father knew he could only live
for a day or two, so before he left he
divided everything he owned between
mv mother nnd me and he only took $35
with him on the boat."
Suffered Most at Night
"He alwnys suffered most at night."
Mr. Irwin said. "I am sure he must
have bad an attack and jumped off the
ship while out of his head with pain."
A dispatch from Boston Mild thnt
the theory held by his friends was that
Irwin feared exposure of his double
life and killed himself to awim dis
grace. Some of them believe, how
eer, he was carrying a large sum of
mntiev and might have been robbed
and thrown overboard. This explana
tion Is discredited by the statement of
his son in New York.

Who says ao?
The photographer!
Charles DIeslnger, in charge of a
studio on Chestnut street near Six
teenth, asserts he has found more of
the peacock In members of his own sex
than in their much -maligned sisters.
"I'm nfrnld I'll have to admit."
Mr. DIeslnger said, "that men, on the
whole, nrc more vain than women.
More Fussy Than Women
"Some of them," he continued, "are
even more anxious than women as to
how they shall be posed. The question
or profile or full -face Is important and
then there Is the chap who has his oVn
characteristic attitude, of which he par
ticularly wnnts a pose. When the
proofs are submitted he Is very careful
in his, selection and wants to have
outstanding defects touched out.
"A mnn Is just as eager to get to the
dressing-room before he faces the
camera ns n woman is. He adjusts his
tie, fixw his hair nnd sees that his
coat has just the right set. A moustach,
of course, gives added 'responsibility."
In New York recently, Mr. DIeslnger
pointed out, the arixlety of men ns to
their appearance nearly became a seri
ous issue with the interurbnn compnny.
Men were actually blocking the traffic
In the subway ttatloua by gazing In
Uic mirrors In the chewing-gum (dot
machines. Eight out of every ten who
entered the station, the traction com-
pany calculated, took a look in tho glass
and the majority of the offenders were
men. Some times the male of the species
would let trains go by In order to give
a tie just the right set or chasten n
wayward pompadore.
The compnny considered taking the
mirrors or the machines out of the sta
tlon, so serious was the situntlon.
Talk About Clothes Less
"Of course," Mr. DIeslnger pointed
out, "it must be remembered In digest
ing these figures that more men than
women use the subwnys, but even nt thi
figures wero Indicative."
The reason men have not tho repu
tation for being vain, it was explained,
Is that men do not talk about the de
tails of clothes aa much as women do
for the simple reason that there are fow
details to consider.
"Just keep a watch on the man, how
ever," Mr. DIeslnger observed, "sec if
he doesn't have a different tlo on Tues
day than he had on Monday. Keep a
watch on his suit, too. Some men

for the golf or tennis tournament,
for the yacht race or tho bridge
party. The Gift Book which is pub
