SHERIFF rs Al ADAMSS HOST.
O'Brien Isn't Letting Ills Rich Prisoner
Worry Him.

Sheriff William j. O'Brien does not seem
to be worried by the responsibility laid on
his shoulders when Justice Scott committed
into his custody Al Adams, the convicted
policy king, who Is to be arraigned for sem
tenoe tomorrow morning in the Criminal
Branch OF the Supreme Court. The Sheriff
went into the country yesterday.
In the meantime the wealthy prisoner
was left in charge Of Deputy Sheriffs Joseph
Bell and Daniel j. Kelly. Adams has been
living at the Waldorf recently and there is
reason to believe that all three were at the
Waldorf yesterday. Bell and Kelly were
nearly as comfortable as the Sheriff Mr..
Adams was in the cafe last night, eating
alone. A man can have what he can pay
for at the Waldorf.
1t was learned yesterday that Adams had
not lived at the Hotel Neither land for many
months. He gave up the suite Of rooms
he used to occupy there and left with his
family at the time he said he was going to
Europe, but went to Florida. On his return
to this city some two months ago, he en-
gagged rooms in the Waldorf and succeeded
in remaining at that hotel throughout the
two trials without attracting any attention.

about the action Of his home representative

Frank NJ. Baker as Railroad Commissioner
Mr. Payn told them:
when Senator Amber was on his way to
Albany to the caucus that nominated
Thomas c. Plat for Senator he called at my
house. He said he was against Plat. He
never did like him and he didn't want to
vote for him. But he promised me that
he would vote for him and he did, but he
said then that was the last OF it. He voted
against Baker. although I called him out
OF the Senate chamber and argued with
him. He thought that he could vote against
Platt and at the same time record himself
against the SOL 10000 canal bill. He's
the head Of the State Grange and he says
100 900 farmers are against that bill.
Mr.. Payn said that Senator Amber was
against President Roosevelt as well az
against Senator Plat.
