SENATOR PLAT is SUED
A SENSATION PROMISED
Mae Catherine Wood Reiterates Her
Statement Of Last June That She Be-
came Platt's Wife in November,
1901.

New York, Feb. 26.-The efforts
made here today TO gain a trace of
the paper which Miss Mae Catherine
Wood filed against Senator Thomas
c. Platt, asking for a divorce have
proved unavailing- In Miss Wood
statement which was given on. yes
terday at Colon, Mich, she declared
that she had named sixteen CORES
pondents and that when the case
came to trial it would furnish one
of the greatest scandal sensations in
the country's history. Miss Wood re-
iterates her statement of last June
that she became Senator PIatt's le-
gal wife November 8, 1901, having
married him at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel. At that time an alleged certifi-
cate figured in her statements. At
Washington up until noon today Sen
ator Plat could not be seen, and
when his son, Frank, was interviewed
here, he only smiled and declared
Miss Woods statements absurd.
From Richmond, Va, where Miss
Woods attorneys are located, comes
confirmation of the filing of the suit.

FINDS THEM ALL GUILTY
FOWLER WRECK INQUIRY
Coroner investigates Big Four COLL.
sion Near That Place and Returns
a Verdict Against the Officials and
the Train Mer.

Fowler, Ind, Feb, 26.-Charles S.
Comley, coroner of Benton county,
today returned his finding in the case
of the Big Four disaster at this place.
January 10. He finds that George
w. Sears, assistant train dispatcher
at Kankakee; Charles Mills, conduc-
tor, and John Robbie, engineer. both
of freight train No. 95. and the head
officials and management of the Big
Four company were guilty OF gross
negligence. He also finds that Ed
ward w. Trip, engineer OF the ILL
fated passenger train, was running
his train at reckless speed when the
accident happened.
The coroner. however, did not or
der any arrests, and 1t is believed
none will be made unless the states
attorney finds some evidence OF GRIM
inal negligence which the coroner did
not develop in his investigation. The
inquiry was so thorough, however.
the states attorney said today he did
not believe there was sufficient evil
dence to warrant the charge OF GRIM
inal negligence. The coroner's re.
port covers more than three hundred
typewriter pages. About thirty wit.
nesses were examined, and the cost
of the inquest will exceed $500.

TOWN TOPICS.

With the advent of the warm wealth
er and the dark of the moon, the city
forester and other men, who each year
trim Richmond's shade trees, will be-
gin plying their vocation in strenu-
Gus manner as it will then be in seas
on. The trimmers say it would be i'm
possible to begin their work at the
present time, as all trees trimmed
would be stunted to a great extent, in
that the places where the saw and
clippers were used, would remain sore
and running during the spring while
leaves would fall during the entire
summer. The trimming of fruit trees
at the present time would also be
dangerous in that the tree would be
dwarfed in strength to such an ex-
tent that the fruit would be inferior
both in size and quality.

Draws 81 and Costs Along with Twen-
ty-Five Days in Jail for Rough
House Stunt.

Wylie Thompson, colored, was fined
81 and costs and sentenced to % days
in Jail yesterday on charge OF
malicious destruction of property.
Thompson entered plea of not guilty
but the testimony OF Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son Smith was too much for him to ov-
ercome. They testified that Thomp-
son kicked in the side door of their
home Saturday night while in an in
toxicated condition. Mr.. Street, who
owns the property, testified that the
damage done would amount to about
81. Judge Converse then made
Thompsons fine double the cost of re-
pairing the door and then handed out
a nice little Jail sentence for good
measure.
Albert Jones, of Winchester, who
was arrested Monday, and who was
one of the members of the gang that
terrorized the north end and local
dance hall Saturday night, was re-
leased as the prosecutor thought there
were no grounds for placing any
charge against him. Jones was
warned that in the future when he de-
sired to be bad to remain in Win
