The au- thors say that the fact remains that con sumption can be cured in no other way, and that those who take different view of the subject do not cure consumptives; they kill them by robbing them of their last chance of life; the same, the authors say, is true of other diseases.

PLATT-WoOD DIVORCE TRIAL.
Plaintiff in the Case Tells Her Story
in Supreme Court at New York.

New York City. = Mae Catherine
Wood was on the witness stand all
day Monday testifying in her suit for
absolute divorce from United States
Senator Thomas C. Platt before JUS
tice O'Gorman in the supreme court
In support of her assertion that she
had been secretly married to Senator
Platt at the Fifth Avenue hotel on
November 8, 1901, her counsel intro
duced in evidence a marriage certifi-
cate which, she said, had been hand
ed her by the minister who performed
the ceremony and copies of number
of letters alleged to have been written
to her by the senator.
The letters which she said were re-
ceived by her from Platt were mainly
of an affectionate nature, but in sew
on other affairs. In one communica-
ton was the phrase: Your letter
has cheered me up so that l am al
most reconciled to Odells election"
A picture of the senator was shown
upon the back of which was written
ITO my little wife" Telling how this
was written Miss Wood said: well,
| was sitting on his lap. Part of the
time he held my hand and part of the
time 1 held his hand. We wrote it
together. The words little wife were
written by him, think"
Miss Wood said that the senator
came to her room in her hotel with
two men and that he formally ac-
knowledged her as his wife before
these two men.
On cross-eXamination Miss Wood
told how she came to give up the pa
pers and letters she possessed relat-
ing to Senator Platt, alleging that she
did so under duress and was COM
PEELED to sign receipt for $4,000 in
settlement of all her claims against
the senator
Miss Wood in her suit named as CO.
respondent Lillian Janeway, whom
Senator Platt married in 1903. Sena-
tor Platt was not in court.
The marriage, she said, was not
made public because Mr.. Platt wanted
1t to be kept secret. "He would not
let me have lady friend, even," said
Miss Wood, for, he said, What two
women know is no longer a secret
He wanted me to live in the next
room to him and say that was his
secretary, but refused"
Miss Wood said she is AZ years old,
was born in Michigan, has been mar
ried and divorced, and had been a
newspaper reporter, a school teacher
and lawyer. She did newspaper
work in Omaha and also was admitted
to the bar in Nebraska.

EXPECT WORLDWIDE QUEST |
BIG REWARD OFFERED TO Who
EVER FINDS MRS. GUINNESS.
Grand Jury at Laporte, Ind, Begins
investigation of Murders
on Farm.

Laporte, Ind. = Autopsies of the
seven unidentified bodies exhumed
from Mrs. Belle Guinness private
burial grounds were completed on
Monday and they revealed the fact,
according to the reports of Dr. F. T.
Wilcox and George r. Osborne, who
conducted the autopsies under the di-
rection of Coroner Mack, that one of
the seven was a female.
This revelation aroused new inter
est in the story that a man and
woman came to the house one night
in 1904 to take Jennie Olsen to Los
Angeles college as Mrs. Guinness
told those about the place. The next
morning Jennie and the man and wo-
man were gone Mrs. Guinness said
that they had left on an early train
for California.
The body now declared to be that
of woman was taken from the same
hole as was that of Jennie Olsen. In
that hole also were the bodies of Ole
Budsberg of lola, Wis, and that of
another man. The theory now ad-
vanced is that Mrs. Guinness may
have, on the same night, murdered
Jennie Olsen and the man and woman
who had come to take her to Califor-
MIA and buried all three bodies, dis
membered, in the same pit. The
body of Budsberg, who was murdered
later, was found nearer the surface
than the other three.
The Laporte county grand jury on
Monday heard the stories of number
of witnesses in the Guinness case.
Excellent progress was made, but the
greater part of the week will be con-
sumed in the investigation.
In view of the offer of the county
commissioners to pay $4,000 for the
production of Mrs. Guinness alive,
Prosecutor Smith expects that this
search will 'e world wide
The mystery surrounding the watch
found on Ray Lamphere when he was
arrested was cleared Monday when j.
G.. Ramden of Manfred, S. D., who
came to investigate the disappear
ance of his half-brother, John Moe of
Elbow Lake, Mimi, identified the
timepiece as the one owned by Moe
when he left home. Lamphere said
that Mrs. Guinness gave him the
watch.

WRECCED BY ITS CASHIER.
The Allegheny National Bank at Pitts
burg Is Closed by the Comptroller
of the Currency.

Pittsburg, Pa. 1t was officially
announced last night that the Allie
gheny National bank, whose former
cashier. William Montgomery, is in
Jail, specifically charged with the mis-
appropriation of $594,0O0, while Off
GERS of the bank and of the treasury
department are trying to fathom still
larger apparent discrepancies in the
banks funds, will not reopen for
business to-day.
Instead a notice on the door will
announce that the comptroller of the
currency has taken charge and will
close up the affairs of the bank.
The suspension of the bank, 1t is
believed, will have practically no eff
feet upon commercial or financial in
stitutions of the city. 1t has been
largely discounted by the events of
the past week and besides the private
and commercial deposits of the bank
are small, amounting to not over
100000. The bank as city deposit
ory carried about S1,500,000 of the
city's funds and as an active state de-
pository over $500,000 of state funds.
1t is possible that the city may expert
ence some inconvenience in having it's
funds tied up for time, but It is un-
derstood that both the state and city
are protected against actual loss by
bonds of surety companies.
Montgomery in all his statements
has exonerated all others of compile
ity in or knowledge of his misdeeds.
