NOBODY HERE BELIEVES PLATT.

Charles Stewart Smith. also Of the Committee OF
Twenty-Five. who is usually placid. was exceedingly.
determined In his views His Plat analysis was as
follows: PLAT intended that interview with him
self for country consumption. He knew nobody
here would believe It. He has felt the force OF the
revelation OF fraud here under Patt-Lauterbach
guidance and he fears that his influence in the
country Is at stake. Hence this interview"
Mr.. Smith paused and then proceeded ASK Mr..
Plat to state If 1t is not true that after General
Harrfsons election he (Mr. Plato claimed place
In General Harrisons Cabinet. and that the
promise had been made to him that in case OF
General Harrisons election he Platt) should have

plainly the duty OF decent Republicans 10 protest
against any such dshonor being attached to the

the duty Of honest Republicans to disown anybody

EDWARD MITCHELLS VIEWS.

Edward Mitchell. member OF the Committee Of
twenty-five, expressed his views follows THE
trouble, far Mayor Strong is concerned, Is
that Of our Republican friends. after the Re-
publican party in its County Convention had COM
m!tted Itself TO a platform. insist that the platform
should be disregarded. That platform, although a
declaration Of non-partsan principles and contrary
TO my own views, cannot honestly be disregarded.
In the present matter the issue is simply. Is the
county orsr AVIATION to be controlled by men who are
not Republicans? No manifesto, document has
been issued by the Committee of twenty-five which
shows any other bearing than these lines"

STILL INFATUATED WITH HER.
Charles Pruitt, IN Old SuitOr, Threat
ems to xiii Mrs. Clark.

Mrs. Robert Clark, of 31S Jackson Park,
accompanied by her father William
Thatcher, of Map,eton. called on Superin-
tendent of Police Colbert yesterday and
asked that Charles Pruitt. a plasterer living
at 325 Columbia avenue, be restrained from
annoying Mrs. Clark. 1t seems, from Mrs.
Clark's story, that an old love which Pruitt
bore towards her five years ago has led
him to conduct himself in a very annoying
manner.
Over five years ago Pruitt was an admirer
of the young woman, who was only sixteen
years old at the time, but Mr.. Thatcher
was strenuous,y opposed to his attentions
One day Thatcher ordered Pruitt away from
the house, and before the dispute was over
a shotgun duel ensued The father fired
at the sutor, and the lover responded with
a load of buckshot. which failed TO hit the
father but instead badly damaged an ap-
pie tree on the premises. The daughter and
Clark who has been employed at Nordyke
* Marmons for sixteen years were after
wards married, and they now have two
children. Mrs Clark told the superntend-
ent she had been perfectly happy with her
husband, and had tried to avoid Pruitt as
much as possible. During a period of three
years after her marriage she saw but little
of him. Recently he has taken occasion to
meet her on the street and declare his love
for her. During the last week he has been
coming to her home before her husband
returned from his work and throwing peb-
bles at her windows. He refused 10 leave
when she ordered him to go, although he
made haste to get away when the time
came for her husband 10 come home. Mon
day night Pruitt came to the house and told
her he was going to kill her If she did not
leave her husband. After he had left she
went to her father, and they decided to ask
protection of the police. Two patrolmen
were sent TO the home of Pruitt last night
TO notify him that he would be arrested If
he further molested Mrs. Clark. Pruitt is
now a married man.

came to the boards office, where he was
told that Frey had no right TO stop work

going to compensate him for the time the
men were idle, out OF respect TO the orders
OF Frey. DIR. Ferguson said if Fred acted
as stated he violated the rules of the de-
partment and Mr.. Jones was advised TO
bring his grievance TO the attention of the
board.
Frey made an early report of the affair
at the Office. He mentioned the case and
said he was going there to see trap put
in, he wished to learn how the work
was done Before the visit of Mr. Jones,
DIR. Ferguson learned something of the
case and he sent Frey to the place 70
make explanations. Mr.. Jones stated that
at o'clock Frey had not put in ap-
pearance. The sanitarian is unable TO ex-
plain the reported action Of Frey and Mr..
Jones says he cannot understand it.

MICHIGAN-sT. BRIDGE APPROACH ES
Street-Car Company Moncpolixes the
Narrow Roadway.

County Commissioner Harding, who has
been seriously i'll, has 50 far recovered as
to be able TO attend to his duties and he
met with the other members OF the board
yesterday. The board heard a complaint
from merchants along Michigan street,
west of Blake. TO the effect that travel
on that thoroughfare has almost ceased.
The merchants say that the landowners on
each side OF Michigan-street bridge are re-
sponsiblc for this. When the street-car
company wanted 10 lay its tracks across the
bridge ii is claimed the property owners
appeared before the commissioners and
agreed to widen the approaches If the board
would grant the request OF the company.
The merchants say that this provision has
not been carried out and as a result peo-
pie who own spirited horses avoid the mar
row approaches by keeping OF the street
entirely. j. G. Voss. one of the landowners,
denies that such an agreement was made.
He says there was talk of building a
levee and cutting down Michigan street.
but some OF those interested fear that if
that is done and the land Is ever condemned
for park purposes, they will not get the cost
OF the work outfof the appraisement.
