FRANK EXHIBIT.
SUMMONS DIRECTED TO BE
SERVED ON LOEB
MAY LATER SUE PLATT
Takes First step In Threatened Suit
for the Suppression Of Letters
Which She Had Intended
Publishing
MAY LATER SUE PLATT

Special TO Tho Herald.
OMAHA, Neb., May 5.-Mae Cath
crime Wood today procured the issu-
ance of praecipe from the district
court In this city directing a summons
to be served on William Loeb, the presi-
dents secretary; Robert ]. Wynne,
formerly postmaster general, and j.
Morton Mile, now consul at AK la
Chappelle.
This is the first legal move in the
suit of Mae Wood to recover $4,000
damages from those named for having
retained, according to her allegations,
the letters that she claims to have re-
ceived at different times from Senator
Platt and intended publishing in book
form, under the title of Love Letters
of Boss"
Miss Wood asserts that the defen-
dants did not secure all the letters in
her possession and one of these is filed
as an exhibit. 1t reads:
"wednesday, July 2, 1902. Dear
Beauty: I have been thinking of you
and wondering how you are breasting
the world alone. I am miserable.
send you a book Of franks. I did not
think 1t wise to furnish pass. 1t Is
too frank and open. Sincerely yours.
1T. c. p"
Speaking tonight Of this letter, Miss
Wood said: Senator Platt took this
excuse for writing me after a silence
on my part of several weeks. 1t was
after the trouble in a New York hotel,
and 1 returned to Washington. I had
not written him for month or more
and he took advantage Of the fact that
my book of franks on the U. S. ex-
press lines had run out to cond me an
other Platt used to get me reilroad
passes whenever and wherever want
ed to travel. Sometimes I'd get as
many as three letters from him in one
day."
1t is generally believed here that
Miss Wood contemplates suit against
Platt for breach of promise in case the
suit against Loeb, Wynne and Miller
should not be successful.
"I was really engaged to the SEN
ator," she said, land I have grounds
for q. breach of promise suit if I wish
to go ahead"

LONG ISLAND SHIPPING
SHATTERED BY GALE
Schooner Capslzes and Five Men Are
Rescued by Volunteers
From Shore

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 5.-Many small
sailing boats have been washed ashore
and wrecked in a gale which has swept
this section. About New Rochelle and
Larchmont on Long Island at least a
score Of small boats are lying on the
beach.
One large schooner bound up the
sound had all the canvas she was car
rying blown to shreds and was nearly
driven upon the Long Island shore.
Five men narrowly escaped death by
the capsizing of their schooner in the
Hudson Off Innwood. The boat was
bound down with a cargo of bricks
from Haverstraw when the gale
clapped down and the whole outfit
turned turtle.
Three men who happened to be
watching the scene from a bathing
pavilion ashore seized a power launch
and put out at full speed. They ar
rived none too soon, for one of the
schooner's crew who had been hit on
the head by brick was about to sink.
The luckless mariners from Haver-
straw were eventually all rescued. but
their craft was lost

STRIKE CRISIS
TO COME TODAY
WAGONS TO BE GUARDED BY
DEPUTY SHERIFFS
MAY ORDER OUT TROOPS
Upon Success Of the Attempt to Pros
tect Delivery Teams Depends
Question Of Calling on
Militia
MAY ORDER OUT TROOPS
sy Associated Press.

9y Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 5.-The crisis in the
teamsters' strike Is expected to come
tomorrow. The State street merchants
have decided to send out HOO wagons
city. AS far as possible these wagons
will be guarded by Deputy Sheriffs and
in some instances by the local police.
1t will be impossible for all of the
wagons to be guarded by the deputy
sheriffs, but it is the intention to place
two men on each wagon as far as the
number of deputies already sworn in
will permit. Sheriff Barrett had 200
deputies in service tonight, and said
that he thought this number would be
ample for the work outlined tomorrow.
If 1t is not 1t is said he will conclude
that the sheriff's office and the local
police are not able to control the situa-
ton and request will be made for the
state militia.
Governor Deneen has said that he
will order out the troops If the request
Is made by Sheriff Barrett, and upon
the failure or success of the attempt
at retail deliveries to be made tomor-
row depends the coming of the troops.
Fifteen wagons were sent out today by
the large dry goods and department
stores, and all of them made deliveries
without interruption. On each of these
wagons rode two deputy sheriffs. 1t
was the success of this attempt at de-
livering goods that prompted the stores
to decide to send out tomorrow prac-
tically their full force of wagons.
Less Rioting Yesterday
Either because of the threatened ap-
pearance of the troops or because Of
the addition to the police force in the
shape of deputy sheriffs there was
much less rioting and fighting in the
downtown districts than on any day
Of this week.
The wagons Of the express companies
have all carried guard armed with
a rifle or double barreed shotgun, ano.
went between the depots and express
offices without interruption other than
that of an occasional stone thrown
from the sidewalk or some other mis-
sile hurled from window.
An order issued early in the day by
Chief of Police ONeill directing that
all persons should be prevented from
following up wagons as they went
through the streets had much to do
with the absence of rioting.
While there was less rioting in the
downtown streets numerous assaults
were committed in all parts of the city
remote from the principal business
sections.
Three coal wagons, after making a
delivery at the factory of Selz, Schwab
& Co., at Ohio and Kingsbury streets,
late this afternoon, were attacked by
crowd which pursued them for more

A FABLE.

The story of the reputation of T.
7. Kelly by the Republicans of Miami
county is so well known over the state
that this fable, which appears in the
Miami County Republican, will be APP
preciated:
Once upon a time a Miami county
party awoke and found that it was
possessed of a devil, and though some
what stunned at first, as soon as it had
recovered itself a little it started to
cast him out. But the devil was a
fighting devil, and thenceforth the
Miami county party had keen, stern
realization of what is meant by the
strenuous life. The party chased the
devil around everywhere and whacked
him vigorously, while the devil smote
the party at times soreIy. 1t was nip
and tuck between the party and the
devil. and the noise was great, the dust
and printers ink were thick and at
/ times the battle field was very ''boozy' .
And the devil seeing that he was get
ting it in the neck in Miami county,
went abroad and found some foreign
devils and brought them down into
Miami county to fight the party, and
| the party was hard pressed except al
/ the polls, and there in Miami county
the devils were always on the run.
Finally the devils, as thieves so
often do. began to quarrel among
themselves, and the foreign devils
said, Look at that ugly Miami county
devil; he is a very bad devil. We our

SOME HISTORY.

Kansas governors have an unfort-
innate faculty of failing to get along
with the other state officers. Stanley
did fairly well and yet his executive
council oftimes o embarrassed him.
Bailey was seriously handicapped;
majority of his council opposing him
in all important matters throughout
his entire administration. This arose
from the fact that in the, convention,
which nominated him, his opponents
named half the nominees and Dayhoff
deserted him. Hoch was nominated
in a convention where it was thought
practically every other nominee was
in accord with him, and yet, today.
there is not an elective officer in the
state house that is sincerely his friend.
A true account of what brought about
these changed conditions would be an
interesting contribution to current
Kansas political history.-Kingman
Courier-Leader.
