MILLER DENIES _ HE WILL RESIGN TO JOIN A LAW FIRM Rumor He Had Been Offered Guarantee From $150,000 to $250,000 a Year (Special to The Eveulng World.) Mr. ALBANY, April 15 --"'Mere rumor. There is nothing in it.’ This is what Gov. Miller said to his private sec- retary, William McCarthy, when told that a New York newspaper carried a story to the effect that the Chief Ex- ecutive had been asked to resign and accept a membership in a New York law firm with a guarantee of from $150,000 to $250,000 a year It is very well known among the Republican leaders liere that Gov Miller, so far from resigning, is being so hard pressed to run again that he can hardly refuse. At any rate the leadership of his party in the State is accorded to him and it is said that if he does not accept the gubernatorial nomination in September, he will name the man who gets it.

Had Two Drinks in Her Flat and the Rest Was a Dark Mystery. Friends’ of Angus K, Nicholson, © partner in the brokerage firm of Winkelman & Co., No, 52 Broad Street, and Malvena Richman of No. 187 Riverside Drive, who says she was once in the movies, monopolized the corridors and spectators’ space in the West Side Police Court to-day, when Miss Richman was called for arraign- ment on a charge of enticing Nichal- son to her apartment and taking from him a $5,000 scarfpin, a $450 cane and $800 in cash and keeping him a pris- oner for three days. Miss Richman has been free under a $5,000 bond since her arrest on a warrant last Wednesday. * The friends of Miss Richman and the’ friends of Mr. Nicholson formed decidedly hostile groups. Both Mr. Nicholson and Miss Richman talked freely to all listeners, and their state- ments would indicate that somebody has probably deviated from the exact truth. As for the actual court pro- ceedings, they were brief. On motion of Leonard Snitkin, counsel to Miss Richman, the hearing was aljourned until next Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. J, H. Gilbert, Mr. Nichol- son's lawyer, agreed to the udjourn- ment. Nicholson repeated the story about being invited to the Richmian flat and losing all track of things after taking two or three drinks. “My chauffeur, F cued me,’ he declared, 27 after I had been b prisoner for three days.” “Rescued him!" sniffed Miss Rich- man, when told of Nicholson's state- ment... ‘Huh! Why, the chauffeur reached the house at noon, and it took him five hours to get Nicholson to leave. “I have known him for two years,” she continued, ‘‘He frequently visited me and often gave me money and trinkets. I will produce the trinkets in court Tuesday—or some of them, All the time he was in my apartment there was a telephone right alongside his bed and he could have used it.

Capt. G. W.

Capt. Melson assured them that there was no danger and then rang to go ahead at full speed. The water-spout grew until it was fully 600 feet in diameter and a mile high, Speculation of what would happen if it ever over- took the ship brought shivers to the watching crowd on the Carmania’s deck The mass seemed to be gaining on the ship and for fully half an hour the excitement on the Carmania was in- tense. ‘Then the great fountain sub- sided, the masses of water tumbling back to their native ocean.

Melson was asked what would have happened had the water-spout hit the ship. “Well,"" he said with a smile. “I'll never tell you.
