JUSTICE FOR POOR
Denied i'm Massachusetts According
to Petitioner.

BOSTON, Jan. 14.-A petition has
been presented to the legislature by
Representative Hayes, Of Lowell, and
signed by Augustine Thompson, general
manager of a well-known patent nerve
food manufacturing company, of Low
ell, for hearing by the house Of rep
resentatives with an opportunity to
prove charges involving alleged 'in-
furious, oppressive and illegal acts and
CUSTOMS in vogue in the courts of the
commonwealth for the illegal enrich
ment of the officers of the court
In an address accompanying the pc
tition, Mr.. Thompson states that GER
tain Boston lawyers were engaged to
act as counsel for the scompany which
he represents and that the charges OF
the lawyers were so heavy that the
company refused to pay them. Suit
was entered for recovery of the fees,
and after considerable litigation a
judgment was awarded the plaintiffs.
Mr.. Thompson states that the case
was carried to the supreme court, 1t
being claimed that such fees barred
the common people frem approaching
the courts for the redress of their
wrongs, and denied. the poor equality
before the law, and that the depart
ment of justice in sustaining such ex-
tortion was violating constitutional
law. -

PIatt Back In the Position He Re-
signed to Follow the Lead of
COnkling.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 14-Without
the usual formula of nominating
speech tonight, with no word of eulogy.
but with strength of votes that was
overwhelming, Thomas G. Platt was Sc
lected for the United States senate by
the Republican caucus. The nomina-
ton was made unanimous, amid ap-
plause The causus then selected Ches-
ter S. Lord, Of New York, to be regent
of the state university.
Few men have been more in the
public eye during the last fifteen years
than Thomas Collier Platt. His en-
trance into national prominence in 1881
was under conditions so unusual that
his earlier public career and his prom
inence as a banker and merchant have
been generally forgotten. Mr.. Platt took
up business career which led the way
to the presidency of national bank
at T1oga, N. Y, and to a successful
venture in the lumber trade in Mich
igan. In 1872, when thirty mine years of
age, he was elected a representative to
congress, and again in 1874 He was
elected to the United States Senate in
succession to Francis Herman, his term
beginning March 4, 1881. In May of the
same year. in consequence Of a quarrel
with President Garfield over the dis
tribution of patronage in New York
state, Senators Conkling and Platt re-
signed from the senate, expecting to be
reelected, instead of which the places
they had vacated were given to Messrs.
Lapham and Miller.
Mr.. Platt held the Office of commits
sioner of quarantine of New York city
from 1880 to 1888, when he was removed
by proceedings instituted on account of

and there witnessed the first appear
ance Of Senator John Sherman in the
politics of the state, he making his
maiden speech in such a gathering at
that time.
AS an earnestness Of a willingness to
take his own medicine the Ohio Star
was consolidated with the Whig paper
of the town, and the names of both
were dropped and that of the Portage
County Democrat substituted Wich
this consolidated sheet Mr.. Hail re-
mained until he left Ohio.
Another notable event in Mr.. Hail. S
career was the bringing of the late
PRESIDENT Garfield into public life.
Garfield was then at the head of a Dis
ciples' academic institution at Hiram,
Portage county, and a preacher a
senator was to be chosen from Portage
and Summit counties, and Mr.. Hall had
consented to allow his name to be used
Prior to the convention he decided that
he did not care for the position. but
did not publicly withdraw. There
were several other candidates. and Mr.
Hail arranged to spring Garfield's name
without even consulting him
For number of years he edited a
weekly paper at Akron, in an adjoining
county, driving back and forth between
the two county seats. He was also
for time editor of the Cleveland Daily
Leader, While the late Edwin CoWles
was its proprietor; but all the time
continued the editing Of his own week
ly at Ravenna.
He was a compatriot and intimate
friend and acquaintance of Joshua f.
G1dd1ngs and Benjamin F. Wade, who
III the senate and house were the two
great leaders of the anti-slavery move
ment, and made national regulations.
Present and participant in all tn,
prenm1nary conventions which gave
counsels listened to and usually fol-
lowed by the party leaders, this coun-
try editor welded an influence which
pore more prolific fruit than that of
many who have won national renown.

the race tonight, throwing his support
10 eX-Congressman William F. Mason
OF chicago, who had been his most
prominent rival for Senator Palner's
seat. His withdrawal was immediate1v
followed by that Of Samuel Allerton
the millionaire packer of Chicago. who
went at once to personally congratulate
Mr.: Mason. Mr.. Madden's candidacy
mad been bitterly fought by the anti
machine element Of the state, but up
TO the moment of his announced with
onaWad 1t had been supposed that he
would go into the caucus tomorrow well
packed by supporters. It is generally
peHeVed tonight that Madden's action
makes the selection of Mason by the
caucus tomorrow a certainty.
1t is asserted tonight that Madden's
de1eat was largely the result Of the
Detlef that President-elect McKinley's
lInuence Was against his candidacy.
A week ago the Chicago Times Herald
whCSe editor, Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat, is
beneVed to be in the confidence of Mai.
Mckinley, published an editorial leader
severely arraignirg Mr.. Madden and
end1ng with the significant phrase mo
friend of President Mckinley can vote
for Martin B. Madden" The impE-
cation that the coming administration
was opposed to Madden, was never
authoritatively denied.
Although Mr.. Mason's forces have
been greatly strengthened by Madden's
withdrawal, the other candidates do
not admit his election and will go into
the caucus tomorrow. The Cook county
members tonight sprung >Congressma n

candidate, but several of their members

there can be no doubt. To the cor
respondent Of the G l o b e, who called
on him today, DR.. Hewitt said:
THAT l was surprised at the failure
Of the governor to reappoint me you
may be sure. 1 have so fallen into tie
habit of the work of the board that the
expiration Of terms of office and reap
pointments came to me naturally and
without solicitation. I never even
thought at this time that my year was
so nearly expired. If it had occurred
to me | should not have thought that
l was to be retired 1t seems 10 me
that [ should have expected some 1nti-
nation Of the governors intentions, or
that some friend would have informed
me, If it had been generally known that
successor was to be chosen But
why the governor made the selection of
Dr. Reynolds 1 do not know. Person
ally, | should say the appointment a
fit one. DR.. Reynolds is a splendid
young man and an ornament to his
profession"
'It is right, too, that thre should be
member of the veterinary profession
on the state board. No, there was
nothing personal in my removal. 7
know. l never spoke to the governor
but two or three times in my life. and
then briefly in a business capacity.
My only regret is that the work I have
accomplished, the sanitary machine
have built up In the state, may lapse
in their effectiveness in strange hands
I shall keep up my connection with
the state university, where I am pro-
fessor Of sanitary science, and I under
stand an effort is being made to widen
the scope of that department by Sc
curing from the legislature an ap-
preparation to secure the necessary ap-
paratus and pay the clerical help.
I GIVE MY SERVICES FREE
to the work. I cannot give up my ex-
periments and teaching in public health
matters after having devoted so many
years to it and / hope the legislature
will see the wisdom of perpetuating
the department of which I am the
head, long after my time on earth
is done. 1t is a grand and noble work.

of those experienced. Every student

and secretary of the state board Of
health, DR.. Hewitt has for many years
been AN independent member Of the
FACULTY OF the university, as professor
OF sanitary science. 1t was with diff
cutly that he secured rooms at the
university for this special use, but
finally President Northrop granted him
the use Of two rooms in the garret of
the liberal arts building, which DR..
Hewitt fitted up at his own expense.
Here he carries on his experiments and
dehVerS twelve lectures on public
health, and sanitation and other hy-
glendc topics. For each of these lee
lures the sum of $5 is paid by the uni
Versity out of the general fund. The
value and extent of this work is shown
In the large attendance at the lectures,
and the increasing improvement in the
sanitary affairs of communities where
the students who have had the ad
vantage of these lectures, show their
interest in the health of the communi-
ties where they reside. DR.. Hewitt's
friends are determined that, although
his usefulness as a member Of the
board of health is ended, that his career
as a scientist in the interest of the
health of the state he has served so
lCng, shall not be impaired, and will
go before the legislature asking an
appropriation of 800 for the use of
this department, to be expended for ap-
paratuS and other purposes under the
direction of DR.. Hewitt This sum
does not include any payment to DR..
Hewitt, who offers his services gratis
to the state The members Of the medi-
cal profession throughout the state,
and especially in the cities where the
success of the depOsed- secretary has
been noted and appreciated, are taking
an active interest in this movement.
I1r MQUO the Y1oan1h0Ir nf nd
from Rochester is indignant at the
action of the governor He said, no
one can take up the work DR.. Hewitt
has carried on so successfully for so
many years, and continue it to the
benefit of the state. Meanwhile, there
is some opposition to the appointment
of DR.. Reynolds, and it may be so
strong as to prevent his confirmation
by the senate. DR.. Hewitts friends
are active in opposing the appointment,
but are proceeding without the sanction
Of the doctor himself.

RED WING, Mimi, Jan. 13.--Resi-
