1906, but on the contrary had tried to
extort money from him. More than
three years after the date on which
she asserts she was married to him,
the senator averred, she was threat
ening to sue him for breach of prom
ise and retained the law firm OF
O'F1aherty & Fulton Of Richmond.
Va, to act for her.
Charges Attempted Extortion.
The senator submitted copy of a
letter from that firm written to him in
January, 1905, In which they an.
nounced that Miss Mae G. Wood had
employed them to prosecute her claim
for damages for breach OF promise
and for an alleged conspiracy cul.

which she asserted she Was fraud
ulently compelled by agents of the
senator TO surrender certain letters
written to her by him.
Senator Plat said that he ignored
this letter, but that his attorney sub
sequently received other letters from
O'Flaherty 4 Fulton threatening to
take the case into court unless it was
settled. When he declined to enter
into negotiations with them the SEN
ator said they discontinued their at
tempts at extortion until Just prior to
the beginning OF this action
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.
The senator alluded to publications
of what purported to be a marriage
certificate, which, ne said. had been
mutilated by cutting away the part
that should have contained the name
OF the man who officiated
On the evening Of Dec. "a, 1906, ne
said, he received letter from Miss
Wood In which she stated that shs
had received letter from him ac-
knOwledging her as his wife This.
he said, was untrue and no such ac.
acknowledgement had ever been made.
II such communication exists, the
senator said, it is 4 forgery, Banufac-
turcd by the plaintiff to extort money
from him.

lts Waters So Badly Poisoned That
Life ls Practically impossible.
Few persons, probably, other than
those engaged IN the pursuit OF sci
cnce. are aware that the Black sea
presents an interest Of its own to the
zoologist and the geologist shared by
no other part Of the ocean at the pres
ent day.
Throughout the greater part Of the
ocean the bottom is the dwelling place
OF a number Of creatures whose busi-
ness It is TO consume the bodies of the
members of the surface fauna which
after death sink to the bottom. In the
Black sea- however. says the Field, ow-
ing 20 special geological events. such
scavengers are totally wanting over
the greater part Of the bottom, so that
the carcasses of the creatures which
fall from above are left TO decompose,
which they speedily do at the COM
paratlvely high temperature Of the
water.
By their decomposition two soluble
compounds carbonate Of ammonia and
sulphureted hydrogen, are developed
IN enormous quantities, while no free
lime, except such as Is introduced from
the Mediterranean, is left. The vol
ume Of sulphuroted hydrogen is so
great as to poison the water from
the greatest depth G.227 fathoms) to
within about a hundred fathoms Of the
surface TO such a degree that life ex-
copt for a few bacteria, is absolutely
impossible
The circumstance has double inter
est-frst. that It is absolutely unique
at the present day. and. secondly, that
Il seems to offer an almost exact paral-
lei 60 the state of affairs that existed
at the inconceivably remote epoch
when the oldest known sedimentary
rocks were laid down as mud on the

and punish for its own protection, but
its attitude toward its members who
trangress moral laws is gradually be-
coming that Of a physician rather than
that of an eNecutioner. Two phases
have come into common use withi1 the
lifetime of those here present, whifh IL
nstrate this later tendency. Ihosf who
become socially or criminally delinquent
are commonly described as degenefates,
or moral detectives
"Heredity and environment 30 no
doubt count for much i'm the causes OF
immortality, but experience showi that
they are not determinativc factor3. The
world is blessed with thousands df good
men and women who have been able TO
overcome all such influences.
"a criminal court Judge in one Of our
great cities, of thirty years experience
upon the bench, recently stated it as his
belief, based upon his wide observation,
that criminals as a class have much more
of good in their nature than lof evil.
1T is n hopeful sign of the time that
the three bottle man, the slick thief, the
rowdy, the liar and the vicious of every
description chiefly excite pity os defec-
tives. The remedy for all such IS moral
training. The attributes of human souls
are uniform. 1t may take a generation
OF two TO wholly eliminate q vicious
strain, but the task is by no means hope
less. if the moral faculties are consist
