United States Senator Thomas C. Platt
of New York, who is here visiting rela-

the Associated Press tonight discussed
Rev. DIR. Parkhurst and his methods
without reserve. II am opposed to Park

his methods practical and because
looked upon his schemes as being vision
airy. His idea of q oneheaded police force
is simply absurd and would put In the
hands of the man at the head of that
department power that he might use
to the great disadvantage of the force.
His intentions are sincere, but they are
visionary and therefore of no use. He
has done a great deal of good, but !
believe his head is swollen by the fiat
terry of New York papers His ideas re-
garding the suppression of crime are
no longer suggestions, but orders. He
is continually saying must and to this
practical men not only take exception
but criticize 1t harshly."
Referring to the resigna ton of Super

TRAIN ROBBERS MADE A MISTAKE.
Forgot 10 Take the Express Car Up the
Track to Loot 1t.

Camden, Ark. Jan. six masked
men made an effort to rob the north
bound Cotton Belt train 10 miles south
of Camden at IL p. m. The object was
to secure the express money. The train
stopped as usual to take water and the
negro porter got off the train to go
around to the tank to let the water on.
He was stopped by Winchester in his
face and ordered to uncouple the cars.
This order was obeyed. The engineer
was made to run up the track from the
train distance of half a mile. The
bandits discovered too late that they
had made waterhaul, taking the bag
gage car instead of the express car.
They had to grin and take their medi-
cine and go to the woods The leader
told the engineer that he had the laugh
on them, but would see him again. The
work was so quickly done that the pas
sengers did not know what was going
on until the would-be robbers had found
refuge in the dense forest.

tendent Byrnes' appearance before the
Lexow committe, his offer to Mayor
elect Strong to resign and the accom-
panying tender of his services in reor-
ganizing the police force are variously
received. DR.. Parkhurst has intimated
that the inquisition when Byrnes was
unon the stand was not made sufficient
ly searching for practical purposes.
Parkhurst insists that Byrnes is re-
sponsible for most of the corruption ex-
posed by the senate committee and he
is indignant over the police captains
"pompous vanity and self-glorification,"
as he termed 1t. Mayor-elect Strong is
said to hold Byrnes in high esteem and
would be inclined to urge the with
drawal of the superintendent resigna-
ton. were 1t not for his reluctance to
antagonize the Parkhurst society. 1t Is
known that Messrs. Larague, Smith,
Taylor and the good government ele-

tendent.
Moss said that Superintendent Byrnes

IDAHO SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Headquarters Opened and All but Dubois
VIII BE There.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 31.-The senatorial
contest is now fairly on, about one
third of the members of the Legislature
are on the ground and others come by
every train. Shoup opened his head
quarters several days ago and today
Sweets rooms were thrown open by
julie Bassett and Ben E. Rich. Mr.
Sweet is expected to arrive here Thurs
day. Senator Shoup will arrive tomor-
row morning. A large delegation will
go to Nampa. accompanied by the band,
to meet him. 1t is not certainty that
Senator Dubois will be here, though
some of his friends announce that he
is coming.
There is no change in the situation.
AS the matter stands 1t is undoubtedly
close between the two leaders, but just
how close none can determine. There
are some who are claimed by both sides.
These are said to have some sort of a
promise to Mr.. Sweet, but are inclined
to free themselves because they would
not have made such promises had they
been fully advised of the arrangement
between Shoup and Sweet.
