The guild says the circular was or
ganized in this city in September, 1896,
and since then it has grown to be the
largest organization in the State, pri-
marily because its members recognize the

SENATOR PLAT
UNA
MAE WOOD
Denies That He Ever Mar
ried Her aud Tells His
Side Of Queer Case.

- NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-United States
Senator Plat made formal denial to-
day that he ever married Mae c.. Wood,
who is suing him for divorce, alleging
that she was married to the Senator
on November 9, 1901.
The Senator made this denial in an
application in court today by his at
torneys, asking for authority to ex-
anime 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 contrary had tried
to extort money from him. More than
three years after the date on which
she asserts that she was married TO
him, the Senator averred, she was
threatening to sue him for breach of
promise, and retained the law firm or
O'Flaherty & Fulton, OF Richmond,
va, to act for her.
The Senator submitted a copy Of a letter
from that firm written to him in January,
1905, In which it was stated that Miss Mae
C. Wood had employed them to prosecute
her claim for damages for breach of prom
Use and for nm alleged conspiracy, cui-
minating in New York in 1903, by which she
asserted she was fraudulently compelled
O1 aEtlLS II III Ill ~ -
tain letters written to her by him.
Senator Plat said that he ignored this
letter. but that his attorney subsequently
received other letters from O'Flaherty and
Fulton, threatening to take the case into
court unless it was settled. When he de-
clined to enter into negotiations with them,
the SefSAsr said, they discontinued their
attempts at extortion until just prior to
the beginning OF thisN action"
In the fall of 1906, the Senator asserted.
Mae G.. Wood brought two suits against
him in Omaha, in which the allegations
were absolutely inconsistent with her
present claim of marriage. These suits, he
said. were brought to gain notoriety and
to extort money from him. Both suits
were dismissed without prosecution.
The Senator alluded to the publication of
what purported to be a marriage certih-
cate, which he said had been mutilated by
cutting away the part that should nave
contained the name Of the man who Of
ficiated.
On the evening of December "a, 1906, he
said he received a letter from Miss Wood
in which she stated that she had received
a letter from him acknowledging her as
his wife. This, he said, was untrue and
no such acknowledgment had ever been
made. If such a communication exists
the Senator said it is a forgery manu-
featured by the plaintiff.

BANK CLEARINGS SHOW
GAIN I'M BUSINESS.
Especially Favorable Reports from West
ern and Southern Cities Have
Been Received.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
Making allowances for the reduced
volume of security trading at New York
and the lower security values, which ma
terially curtails hank settlements at New
York this year and reduces them at some
other cities, notably Boston and Phila-
delphia, October payments through the
banks, measured py bank clearings this
week. compare very favorably with pre-
ceding years. Total bank exchanges this
week at all leading cities In the United
States outside Of New York are 1913, 49,
636, Al per cent. larger than a year ago,
and 1913 per cent. in excess of the cor
responding week in 1905.
The increase in the West, notably at
Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Louis and Kan
sas City, shows marked progress there,
and further Improvement at Baltimore
indicates activity at South Atlantic points.
New Orleans reports a loss because of the
lateness of cotton. and there is a further
decrease at San Francisco.
The average daily figures for October to
date, which include New York city, are
better than for either of the two proceed
ing months, and show an increase over
the corresponding time in 1905.
