COLON, Mich, June 19.-Mrs. Mae
Catherine Wood, who since the mar
riage of United States Senator Thomas
c. Platt to Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway has
announced that she would publish a
book entitled Love Letters of Boss"
has turned over to her attorneys,

what she insists is a certificate of her
marriage to Senator Platt.
By this and lettrs from him she will
endeavor to prove that her marriage
was legal and that she has never been
divorced.
Photographic reproductions of the
certificate show that the alleged mar
riage took place November 9, 1891, in
an apartment at a Fifth avenue hotel,
New York. and that it was performed
by Rev. Edward w. Rice, an Episcopal
clergyman.
Mrs. Wood claims that she kept the
marriage secret at the request of Sen
ator Platt. She claims she was bounded
by government agents and that the

ONLY CARGO CAN BE SAVED
Portland Is Badly Strained--crew of
Ten Is Safe
BY Associated Press.

SANTA BARBARA, June 19-Latest
reports from Hueneme indicate there is
little hope of saving the barkentine
Portland, which went ashore near
Hueneme Point during the heavy fog
Monday night. The vessel is listing
badly and settling in the sands to such
with the assistance at hand.
A tug from San Pedro reached the
scene of the wreck late this afternoon.
The Portland is badly STAINED and
even if she could be rescued it is doubt
full is she could be towed to her des-
tination, Redondo.
The cargo of seven hundred thousand
feet of pine from Astoria can be saved
Fog was so dense that it obscured
Hueneme light, and signals of distress
sent up from the vessel after she went
ashore could not be discerned for the
same reason. Consequently, the first
known of the wreck was several hours
later when a boat with four men
pulled into Ventura.
Il 1t was the Portland's first voyage
south for several months. She sailed
from Astoria twelve days ago, in com
mand of Captain Clark, an experienced
navigator, who is familiar with the
California coast. He had crew of ten
men. He had no intimation of trouble
until the vessel grounded at two O'clock
this morning. Daylight revealed that
the Portland lay about a quarter mile
off shore and about two miles north
and west of Hueneme light house.
No lives were lost, and none, is en-
dangered.

"DENlCKE DID HIS DUTY"
San Francisco Judge Dismisses Well
Known MIitiaman Who
Killed Looter
By Associa ted Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.-Ernest
III. Denicke, a prominent young club
man, son of A. E. Denicke the million
aire banker, and graduate of the state
university, who on April 20 killed an
unidentified man on the water front,
was dismissed by Police Judge Shortall
today.
The defendant was moved to tears
when he realized that he was free, and
his aged father thanked the magistrate
in open court.
In giving his judgment in the case
Judge Shortall said:
Ernest FL. Denicke, you have done
your duty. To the last day of your life
you will probably regret the necessity
that compelled YOU to take a human
life. My mind was made up when the
case of the prosecution was finally sub
mitted. and l have found no reason to
change my opinion. You have COM
mitted no crime under the law, and |
can do nothing but direct a dismissal
of the charge against you
Denicke shot his victim during the
progress of the San Francisco fire and
the defense was that the killing was
justified. on account of the fact that
the victim was looter who had
wrested a weapon from a marine who
was on guard duty. Subsequently the
victim of the shooting died and his
body, weighted with scrap iron, was
thrown into the bay

Well Known Educators
soecial to The Herald
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Another faculty
mystery" involving the resignation of
five members of the teaching staff, has
arisen at the university of Chicago.
Five professors severed their relations
with the university today, some of them
declaring in explanation that the big
school, with it's $20,000,0OO endowment
from John D. Rockefeller, was not able
to pay them sufficient salary, because
of newly installed policy of rigid
economy.
The teachers were Thorstein Veblen,
assistant professor of political economy
and author of two much discussed
books, 1.-THE Theory of the Leisure
Class and "The Theory of Business
Enterprise; Oliver j. Thatcher, asso-
ciate professor of history and author of
numerous textbooks; Dr. C. c. Guthrie
and DIR. Alexis Carrell of the psychology
department, and Charles A. Huston,
instructor in English.
Prof. Veblen will go to the Leland
Stanford, Jr, university next August
to occupy the chair of political economy
and Mr.. Huston will enter the same
school to become a member of the law
faculty.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE TO

Politicians Did Heroic Work During
Recent Session and the Fruit is

Has Fighting Chance
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
p OAKLAND, June 19.-The Democratic
state central committee. which meets in
this city tomorrow, will decide on the
meeting place Of the Democratic state
convention.
In spite of the fact of the efforts of
Southern California, headed by Los An
geles, It seems likely that Sacramento
will get the prize.
In San Francisco and Immediate
vicinity even the politicians are taking
little interest in political affairs. This
feeling is shared by the people as "
whole, as evidenced by the very light
registration in this city.
During the recent extra session Of the
Legislature, where a great many of the
political managers were gathered at the
capitol, the Sacramento politicians did
heroic work and practically secured the
promise of both Democratic and Repub-
lican conventions.
Some of the political leaders of this
section would prefer Los Angeles, and
it is possible that the southern delega-
tion may be able to win over enough
committeeman to gain the prize. Those
who favor Sacramento point out that
the longer trip to Los Angeles at this
season is a disadvantage.
The warm weather is a factor in the
situation.

HARDWARE FIRM
LOSES HEAVILY
EARLY MORNING FIRE ON LOS
ANGELES STREET
Hobrook, Merrill g. Stetson Suffer,
the Flames Spreading From
Their tabIshment-Loss
About $15o,ooo

Los Angeles had a disastrous early
morning fire today in the Los Angeles
street wholesale district.
The Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson
Hardware company. at 22O North Los
Angeles street, suffered first, and so
quick was the spread of the flames
that a second and third alarm was
soon deemed expedient by the depart
ment officials.
An alarm from that corner is usually
regarded as serious by the fire de-
partment and the race to the spot was
panies.
The blaze started about 1870 o'clock
and was first noticed by officer McCart
in the rear OF the building.
The second alarm was turned in by
officer Dick Oswald, who noting the
extent of the blaze from the rear, saw
that extra apparatus would be needed.
Seven Companies Respond
Five companies responded on these
calls and two more as soon thereafter
as they could make the run to the
wholesale district.
The female inmates of places nearby
had a big scare. They took to the
streets in their light attire and refused
to re-enter their rooms for a long
time.
Tom Savages place on Commercial
street was quickly emptied of its hui
man occupants, as was the Arlington,
both of which are in proximity to the
burning hardware establishment.
The Holbrook- Merrill -Stetson build
ing is two stories high, of brick, eX-
tending southwark from the office for
nearly half a block.
r. H. Morris is manager of the COM
pany and was one of the first to reach
the place in response to a telephone

forced to close it and see the papers

Gently sustained losses by the disaster
there.
The hardware building was heavily
stocked with hardware and plumbers
supplies and when the flames had thor

firemen received orders to keep back
from the walls in case of a collapse.
1t was thought that If beam gave
way the entire floor might be precipi-

ST. PETERSBURG, June 19-The
election Of the Agrarian commission
of ninety-nine today initiates the sec
ond stage of Agrarian legislation in
the lower house of parliament, but the
unwieldly size of the commission and
the reservation of eight places for

The commission consists virtually of
the inner circle of the strongest men
in parliament.
The woman suffrage debate invoked
arguments familiar in the United
States, Petrunkevitch picturing a
regiment of Amazons guarding the
Tauride palace; but the discussion as
sumed almost the dimensions of a riot
when it was transferred to the corri
dors, where a deputation of woman
