Mr.. HARRIS lNQUIRING.
Wants to Know About Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas Land Suit.

Washington. June 2O.-Ex- Senator
William A. Harris, Democratic nomi-
nee for governor of Kansas. arrived IN
Washington last evening. He said his
visit here had no connection whatever
with the meat inspection question. He
thought that the action taken by the
house to insure proper inspection
would prove satisfactory and would
tend to settle the agitation created BY
the publication Of the NeiIl-Reynolds
report.
His motive IN coming to Washing
ton, he said. was to go to the bottom
Of the action Of Governor Hoch in in
stituting suit on behalf Of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Railroad com
pany to recover certain grants Of lands
which is now pending in the supreme
court of the United States He expects
to make an investigation of the history
Of the case in order to familiarize him
self with all the details for use IN the
campaign If the facts he may develop
warrant that course.

WILL PUSH HER CLAIM
And Ask the Court to Award
Her Maintenance.
Hands Over Alleged Certificate
to Her Lawyers.

Colon. Mich. June 2o.-Mrs. Mae
Catherine Wood, who since the mar
riage Of United States Senator Thomas
c. Platt to Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway
announced that she would publish
work called Love Letters Of a Boss
has given to her attorneys in Rich
mond, Va. what she insists is a mar
riage certificate.
She will seek to establish her mar
riage to Senator Platt and will ask for
maintenance. Letters requesting her
presence at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
New York city, November Q. 1901. the
time of the alleged marriage, are
shown as additional evidence. She
alleges that she is the second wife of
Platt and was never divorced from
him. She contends that his marriage
to Mrs. Janeway Is unlawful.
Mrs. Wood has arranged. after q
silence of more than two years, to
make public relations which she as
serts existed between herself and the
New York senator. She said today
that she had been prosecuted by
agents of the senator, and that she
had been sent to Europe for the pur-
pose Of getting her out of the country
previous to the time when Senator
Platt and Mrs. Janeway announced
their marriage, October 19, 1908, 80
she could make no scene"
According to the statement of Mrs.
Wood and the marriage certificate
produced by her, Senator Platt and
Mrs. Wood were married by Edward
W. Rice, an ordained Episcopal
clergyman, and the witness to the
ceremony was J. v Jones, an en-
ploye of Senator Platt.
Mrs. Wood asserts that the marriage
was March 3. 1901, in suite 15s, Fifth
Avenue hotel, New York. She says
that Senator Platt exacted a promise
from her at the time to keep the mar
riage a secret until he wished to an
nounce it.
Subsequently, Mrs. Wood declares.
she had several quarrels with Senator
Platt because OF his attentions to Mrs.
Janeway. In April. 1908, came the
parting, although she declares Senator
Platt still kept surveillance over her
through officials OF the postohice de-
partment at washington, where she
was employed. It was by this agency
that she was sent on her trip to
Europe. she declared.
Mrs Wood has been living quietly
in Colon since the attempt at Omaha
to get service on the presidents secre-
tary, Mr.. Loeb, in an action to re-
cover love letters she says were writ
ten to her by Senator Platt. They
were taken from her. she says. by
Loeb and J. Frank Miller, formerly q
United States secret service operative.

wanted to do something to stop the
massacre were, with the police and

Although it is freely charged that the

was not the case that it was carried
out under orders from St Petersburg,
there is no evidence to support either
