ooACHMAN FIGURES IN CASE
Hedges Treated as Equal by Mrs. Plat
Says Denver Report. -
Journal Special Service

Journal Special Service. ,',
| Denver, Oct. 1.-The upheaval in east
ern society following the report that
serious trouble is brewing between Sen:
| ator Thomas c.. Plat and his dashing
young wife, over the reputed atten-
tons accepted by Mrs. Plat from J. K.
Hedges, her former .coachman, recalls
the fact that when the Platts and party
were in Denver last September more
than passing comment was aroused
among those who had a chance to. OBJ
| serve closely by the obvious desire Of
Hedges, who made one Of the party, to
be with the wife of the aged New York
senator and her Willingness to receive
his graceful attentions. .,.
Hedges was introduced simply as
"Mr. Hedges and no explanation was
made to any of those presented as to
his standing in the party. A party con-
| sisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Platt and their
friends went over the Moffat road in a
special car. .>.-'3E|
Many Of those who saw the party
here frankly commented upon Hedges
attentions to Mrs. Plat. Hedges was
a great favorite with the ladies Of the
party, who seemed to treat him in every
way as an equal, or at least, were very
careful Of his feelings. They never
issued orders to him, but seemed always
Feager to provide for his comfort as if
he were an honored guest.

DIVORCE RUMORS
LIES, PLA1I SAYS
Aged Senator Denies Break with
Young Wife Actress and
Coachman Figure.

New York, Oct. 2.-That the papers
in Mrs. Thomas Collier Platt's suit
for divorce were served last week upon
the senator is positively stated by
those in a position to know the truth.
The actress who it is believed will
figure in the case is invisible to call
ers at her city home. A close friend
made the following statement:
'The vaudeville actress indicated in
Mrs. Plat s back-fre against the SEN
ator is godchild of Senator Plat s..
Her mother was Senator Platt 8 school
friend and her father was the senator 8
lifelong friend.
''The first wife of Senator Platt took
a great interest in the social and pro-
fessional carer Of their godchild. Both
before and after the young woman 8
marriage she was often at Mrs. Platt IS
home. Her husband has been numbered
for years. -.
''Pack Of Lies,' He Says.
"The senator's marriage to Mrs.
Janeway was followed by the estrange-
ment of many of his relatives and
friends, among them the young woman
in question. The new Mrs. Platt was
ever her enemy. Prompt and drastic
action will be taken by her if any fur
seeatp pp9i %is &c given to her by the
Almost hysterical, the aged senator,
waving back would-be questioners that
pressed about him as he passed from
riage, cried: "The story is a pack of
lies. I III make a statement later.''
At the same hour Mrs. Plat, as she
boarded New York n train at the
Highland Mills station, turned angrily
| upon her questioners and said: "There
is no truth in the story, of an estrange-
It is all the work of that wretch, Car
mody, who swore revenge when I took
my daughter from him. I am going
now to my husband. We have Just
been talking over the phone.'
Mrs. Platt came to the city and made
fruitless attempt to see the senator.
He refused to consent to a meeting
and the e.; angry woman returned to High
Carmody Principal.
"Colonel Francis J, Carmodv q name
figures prominently in the stories in
circulation here. It is declared that
he has threatened to drag out the Plat
family skeleton as the result of his
conviction that Mrs. Platt is respon-
sible for the troubles between himself
and his wife, the daughter of Mrs.
Platt. ... - ~
Carmody is said to have objected to
Mrs. Plat 8 alleged friendliness to her
coachman, Hedges, and won her ill-will.
For this reason she is said to have
brought about the parting Of the Car
modys.
Carmody is we'll known in Minneapo-
lis thru his connection with former
Congressman Fletcher, as secretary, and
also as brilliantly uniformed "colo-
nel'' on the governors staff. ..

CHIEF OF MORMONS

Joseph Smith Arrested, Charged
with Living with Five
Wives.

Salt Lake City, Oct. 2.-The presi-
dent of the Mormon church, Joseph
Smith, has been arrested on the charge
of living Illegally with five wives. The
complaint was sworn to by a Mormon
deputy sheriff, the warrant was served
by order of Mormon sheriff, and the
committing magistrate is also Nor
mon. President Smith was arraigned
Immediately after his arrest and waived
preliminary hearing. He was bound
over and released on his own recogniz-
ance. s:.;4- u, 2,
President Smith reached here two
days ago on his return from Europe
He then learned that an attempt had
been made to secure his arrest for a
statutory crime in connection; with the
birth of his fortythird child. = The com
plant was made from distinctly anti
Mormon source. --.. ~ trs"-
Refused to Prosecute.
The county attorney, refused to ap-
prove prosecution on this charge. The
attorney was then cited to appear in
court and show cause why he should
not be compelled to act in the matter.
After the hearing the court held that
the attorney was justified in refusing to
prosecute, because the complainant Of
fered no evidence. that the mother of
the child was not the wife Of President
Smith.
Whatever the motive back of the
last proceedings, the effect will be to
disarm the criticism that has been di-
rected against the authorities for their
failure to take cognizance of the ad-
missions made by President Smith be-
fore the senate committee during the
late investigation of the Smoot case.

THE OUTFALL SEWER

The board of public works, after
careful survey of the outfall sewer
situation, is inclined to believe that
there will be no great delay in the COM
pletion of the sewer, and that the board
will not consent to any change of
plans looking to an increase of grade
and pumping station at Inglewood,
A signed statement by the board pre-
pared yesterday evening gives renewed
hope that the engineering difficulties
encountered are not of a very grave
character. There is plenty of first class
engineering skill in Los Angeles, and no
reason exists why it should not be
applied to the outfall sewer.
AS a matter of fact as pointed out
by the board, a committee of expert
engineers recently made an inspection
of the sewer work and reported it pro-
crossing satisfactorily. There have
been announcements, from time to time
in The Herald, covering the progress
or lack of progress on the part of the
sewer builders and the public were
well aware that the contractors had
encountered "a hard job" Nevertheless
1t seems probable that comparatively
quick work can now be done and that
the difficulties encountered can be over
come, and that, too, as the board Of
public works says, without very great
loss of time, But the necessities of
Los Angeles require that the work be
pressed at once to completion.
Councilman Smith strikes the key
note in declaring that 1--WE must have
that Outfal and we cannot afford to
wait any seven years for it; the out
fall must go through, and that quickly"
Councilman Blanchard. in the same
strain, says: 1T is a great disappoint-
ment to the Ninth ward; when the last
bond issue was before the people for
ratification l told my constituents that
by the time the laterals were finished
the outfall would be ready for service" :"
And again, "The whole of Euclid
Heights is without sewer connection.
the residents there have been waiting,
almost counting the days, until the out
fall would be completed"
No Panama canal lessons in "How
not to do it, for Los Angeles. There is
ample ability in this city to devise a
quick method for subduing that balky
outfall sewer. no time should be lost
in finding the method and then pushing
the work to immediate conclusion.
The patience Of this community Is
elastic, but it is not made Of india

STATE NuMBnR roRTY-slx

The infant state Of the fedora, union
which was born last Saturday and now
is three days old had narrow escape
from being twins. II was a duplex em-
bryo until congress doctored It and
finally transformed II into a single
entity. BUT now, by the finishing touch
of President Rooseveit's signature, the
infant assumes the dignity of state
hood and next July 4, in accordance
with precedent, its status will be pro-
claimed to the world by the appearance
of a bright new star in the glorious gal
axy Of the national flag
The iointure of oklahoma and Indian
territories as a state completes half of
a scheme that the Republican leaders
in congress have for many years been
striving to accomplish. That is, the
making of two states out of the four
territories. Arizona New Mexico, Okla
homa and Indian Political considera-
tions. solely, inspired that effort. If the
four territories were admitted to state
hood singly they might-appalling
thoughtl-send eight Democrats to the
United States senate BY linking them
in pairs, however, the worst result, from
the Republican viewpoint, could be only
the sending of four Democrats to the
senate
The statehood question now is re-
duced to the issue formulated in the
recent act of congress, Arizona and
New Mexico will vote, at the regular
election next November, to determine
whether they shall come into the Union
as a single state, on the oklahoma
Indian Territory plan, or whether they
shall await the opportunity to enter the
Union as separate states There is no
doubt whatever that Arizona will vote
overwhelmingly in opposition to the
joint statehood plan, and it is believed
that New Mexico will do likewise.
In the event of failure to accept
jointure the two territories will be back
at the starting point of their statehood
aspirations They will again have to
await the pleasure Of Republican con-
gress, but with hope for early realiza
tion of their long dream of independent
statehood through the coming into
power of a Democratic administration
with a congress to match.

funeral of Private Lawrence of the

the playing of a popular air in lieu of
a funeral march.
always in the Way" is not known to
most of the navy officers, and it was not
until one demonstrated to Acting Sec
retary Newberry the theme of the song,
which involves a plaintive wall that
one is without any one to aid and guide
him. that Mr. Newberry took action.
If il proves true that Captain Beares
insisted upon that particular song for
the funeral march, he will be called on
for an explanation.
