HE TOOK PROMINENT PART IN
THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
TEN YEARS AGO.
Claimed Large Sum Given Him to De
liver Votes After Which He
Suddenly Disappeared.

! Frank Mussetter, one-t time a we'll
known newspaper reporter and anna
| teur politician, who gained unenviable
! fame in the great Ankeny- Wilson SEN
atorial fight in 1895 by decamping with
$4,000 belonging to one of the sena-
torial candidates, died Monday.
No particulars are known concern
| ing the manner of Frank Mussetter's
end, but the fact that the Detroit
chief wired to the Seattle police to To-
cate the mans relatives and to inform
them of his demise is taken as evil
dence that the former newspaper man
died in circumstances that called for
action by the authorities, says the
Seattle Times
Was Correspondent.
It was in 1895, when John L. Will
son and Levi Ankeny first met in the
political arena at Olympia, that Mus
setter made what was probably the
mistake of his life. He was the cor
respondent of The Seattle Post Intel
ligencer, at that time controlled by
George Hebron and A. B. Stewart
The paper was edited by Hebron and
Levi Ankeny for the senate.
john L. Wilson found his main
hackers in Nelson Bennett, then own
er of The Tacoma Ledger and Col.
Fred HueStis, later collector of inter-
nal revenue and the warm friend of
Bennett
Entrusted With Money.
On the pretense that he could de-
liver certain number of votes, Mus
setter was entrusted with large sum
of money, said to be about $4,000.
The next day, Mussetter disappeared
from Olympia. The votes were not
forthcoming and in day or two after
ward Ankeny's campaign collapsed
and Wilson won on fiuke, after he
had taken down his sign, and had
packed his grip for Spokane
Musseter was seen once on his
way out of the state with the money.
he had taken. This was at John J.
Malone's saloon and gambling house
in Tacoma He struck that place the
evening he left Olympia and after
playing the high cards for while,
he left the place and boarded a train
presumably for the east. He had
more money than he ever dreamed
of having.
The incident was hushed up at the
time, as much as was possible, but
members of the Legislature of 1895,
still remember the incident Musset-
ter never returned to Seattle or the
state, so far as is known and mis-
friends lost all track of him.

SEEKING REVENGE.
Plot to Defeat Member of Legislative
COMMITTEES.

NEW YORK, Nov S.-That a move
ment has been started by certain
men high in the insurance companies
that have been hard hit by the inves-
tigating committee, to prevent the re-
turn to the assembly of Ezra T. Prem
tice, the member of the committee who
represente the twenty-fifth district
was a persistent report today.
Information has reached certain re-
movement is furnished by two or three
big insurance companies that have
been under investigation by the legis-
latiVe committee.
Samuel Untermeyer, early in the
history of the investigation, sent a let
ter to the committee in which he ex-
pressed doubt as to it's rights to eXer-
else the functions designated for it
1t is now declared by several attorneys
that if one of the members of the COM
mittee can ge defeated at the pres
ent election, a new legal objection to
the legality of the committee will be
established, furnishing a fresh basis
for fighting any findings the commit
tee may make.
All five of the assembly members
of the committee are up for re-elec-
ton, but Prentice is thought to be the
only one whose reelection may be
preventible, and this is why the fight
is made particularly against him.

1t is interesting, however. to note that
the suggestion should have come from
Il playwright, and such as eminent lit
erary man as M Paul Hervieu. for
French playwrights have for many
years past done their best to ridicuie
and TO dtscredlt conjugal love.
Husband Is Ridiculous.
In broad French comedy the husband
IS invariably made TO appear ridicu-
ious; and IN the sociological plays now
SO popular in France marriage is dis
tinCtly depicted as q failure.
Since the time of Alexandra Dumas.
French novelists have steadily avoided
the honest sentimental love and happy
ever afterward" stories. 1t is no uu-
common thing to see young French girls
OF the upper middle classes smile with
induigent amusement at the naive love
Of MaTius and Cosette as told in Vic
tor Hugo's Les Miserables." The mod
ern girl cannot conceive of love with
out material comfort, and the weIl-bred
girl would never allow herself to fall
III love with an impecunious man.
All things considered. therefore, it is
perhaps as well for the sake of true
romance that Paul Hervieu's suggestion
should be adopted and that the word
love" should be inserted in the mar
riage ceremony.
