SENATOR PLATT IN DENIAL
DECLARES HE NEVER MARRIED
MISS MAE C. WOOD.
Says Woman First Tried Extortion by
Threatening Breach of Promise
Suit.

New York, Oct. 5-United States
Senator Plat made formal denial Fri
day that he ever married Mae c.
Wood, who is suing him for divorce,
alleging that she was married to the
senator November 8, 1901. The sena-
tor made this denial in an application
in court by his attorneys asking for
authority to examine certain papers in
the case. The senator, in his petition,
asserted that she had never made a
claim to him of such a marriage until
December "a, 1906, but on the con-
trary, had tried to seXtort money from
him. More than three years after the
date on which she asserts she was
married to him, the senator averred,
she was threatening to sue him for
breach of promise and retained the
law firm of O'Flaherty and Fulton of
Richmond, Va. to act for her.
In the fall of 1906, the senator as
serted, Mae c. Wood brought two
suits against him in Omaha in which
the allegations were absolutely incon-
sistent with her present claim of mar
riage. These suits, he said, were
brought to gain notoriety and to ex-
tort money from him. Both suits were
dismissed without prosecution.

.HARTJE REVIEWS HIS FIGHT
ASSERTS HE HAS LETTERS THAT
PROVE ALL HIS CHARGES.
Wealthy Pittsburg Manufacturer Peti.
tons to Have His Sensational
Divorce Case Reopened.

Philadelphia, Oct. 8.-Claiming that
they have letters which passed be-
tween Thomas Nadine, coachman,
and Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, which
will result in complete reversal of
affairs, counsel for Augustus Hartje,
the wealthy Pittsburg manufacturer,
appeared before the Pennsylvania SUI
perior court here Monday to argue
petition for reopening the sensational
suit for divorce which he brought
against his wife.
In the petition presented to the
court for Mr.. Hartje he recites that
since the hearing in the case he has
secured letters written by Thomas
Nadine, the coachman, while he was
in Ireland, to Mrs. Hartje while she
was at the Hotel Victoria in London,
and others which she wrote to the
coachman from there. He relates
that he is in position to prove that
Mrs. Hartje arranged with the en-
ployes of the hotel to have the letters
delivered privately to her and that
she supplied Nadine with envelopes
addressed to herself. He further
AYERS that Mrs. Hartje arranged with
hair dresser, Ambrois, of 274 Rue
st. Honore, Paris, to mail letters
through him to Nadine and that she
received letters from the coachman
and sent money to him through the
same avenue.
Other letters which the petitioner
says he has found since the case was
heard were written, he alleges, by
Helen Scott and Ida Scott to Howard
A. Lappe, of Pittsburg, Pa, in which
the writer's indicate that unless their
parents paid them certain sum of
money each month they would turn
in" for the petitioner. These letters
were written, according to the petit
ton, on April 27 and April 20, 1907.

Society Music.

Mary will have to be asked to play
when she goes out in society. A proud
mamma will attend to that. And Mary
will play, with faithful accuracy, some
thing from Chopin or Beethoven or
Mendelssohn, and the young people
will watch her chubby fingers thought
fully and wonder when the selection
will come to an end, writes Cynthia
Westover Alden in Success Magazine.
They will applaud, too-when the end
is reached-for that is good manners,
and everybody likes Mary anyhow.
And then-well, Lucy Smith, who has
never taken lessons, will rollick up to
the piano and begin coon song"
hands and feet will beat time all over
the room, half the listeners will hum
the refrain; everybody will see the
difference between the piano as a pen
ance and as pleasure, and only
Mary's mamma will make unpleasant
side remarks about the degeneracy Of
popular taste in music.

President talks
FOR BIC WATERWAY
HE ADDRESSES A VAST CROWD
AT THE CONVENTION IN
MEMPHIS, TENN.
River Journey Is Ended-chief Execu-
tive is Given an Enthusiastic Wei
come-PIeads for Greater Navy in
Address at Cairo.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 4.-The fea-
ture of the days program at the deep
waterway convention being held in
this city was the address of the presi-
dent. 1t is estimated that not less
than $4,000 visitors from all over the
Mississippi valley reached here Thurs
day and Friday morning, among them
the governors of more than 20 states,
prominent government officials and
men of affairs. 1t has been one of the
biggest days in the history of Mem
phis and the south.
When the president arose to address
the vast audience he was greeted with
thunderous applause. The people
gathered there believed in the project
which they represented, and they saw
in the president a friend of the
project Nor did his enthusiasm for
the subject disappoint them. He
strongly urged the building of inland
waterways, and paid glowing tribute
to the people of the great central
states
Should Be Done by Government.
He believed, he said, that the gov
eminent should construct and operate
the system of canals which was pro-
posed, and that government expendi-
lures on the rivers should be made
with a definite object in view, and
not merely for temporary benefits as
in the past.
He believed the building of great in
land waterways would help in
solving for all time the perplexing
problems of transportation, would au-
tomatically regulate railroad rates,
and in many other ways prove a
blessing to the entire nation.
In his address he touched upon such
subjects as the relation of the govern
ment to the railroads, the public lands

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little One Wanted to Pick the "Un.
derchildrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers"
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped off blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner ia
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one of the longest
words a four-year-old ever used.
Grandmother" she begged, cant I
pick the underchildrenable flowers
for dinner?"
