New York, May 21.-Charged with
perjury, Mae Wood, the plaintiff in
the sensational Wood-Platt case, lies
in Jail, while the aged senator is
cleared of all suspicion OF having
committed bigamy.
The blow that broke the case OF
Miss Wood was the affidavits that
demonstrated that the marriage GER
tificate had not been printed until a
year after the ceremony is alleged to
have occurred.
Judge O'Gorman found for the de-
tense in the Platt case today, exon
Grating Plat and sustaining his as
sertion that he was never married to
Miss Wood. Miss Wood was commit
ted to Jail.
More hard blows were struck at the
foundation of Mae Woods contention
that she was the wife OF Thomas C.
Platt when the annullment proceed
ings were resumed today. Frank
Platt related incidents OF the payment
of $1,000 to her for the return of
Platt's letters TO her, which il was
rumored she Intended to publish un-
der the title ~Love Letters of
Boss"
did you see those letters" inquired
Attorney Stanhfield for the defend
ant.
"I did,"
did they contain endearing terms
such as my bride 10 be- and dear
little one?'"
"They did not"
Frank Hill, a newspaper man. tes-
titled that Mae Wood told him one
time that Platt's> matrimonial affairs
did not interest her. that she respect
ed the senator. but had no oher feel
ing for him.
When Platt left the stand the de-
fense sprung the greatest surprise of
the trial. 1t was in the shape of the
deposition of F. E. Hafeley, a station
ed, VINO hvered that he furnished the
certificate introduced by the
plaintiff, He declared that the GER
tificate could not be printed until at
least one year after the alleged mar
riage.

NEW BUILDING
STILL IN DOUBT
F.fTE OF OMNIBUS BILL
NOT YET DETERMINED.
Referred to Secretary of Treasury and
May Share Same Fate as Currency
Measure - Pcndleton's $4,000 Ap-
preparation Held Up With the
Others - Associated Reports IL as
Passed.

The fate of the omnibus federal
building bill in which an appropriation
OF $4,000 for a federal building in
this city is included, is still uncertain
and 1t looks now as though 1t might
not become a law at this session al
though its friends are doing every
thing In their power to secure its pas
sage through the senate.
The East Oregonian received the
following dispatch from the Washing
ton correspondent of the United Press
this afternoon regarding the fate of
the bill:
THE omnibus federal building bill
has been sent to the secretary OF the
treasury for his opinion on its merits.
Every effort is being made to pass the
bill II within human power, at this
session, but both 1t and the currency
bill appear TO be in danger of not
passing at this session.
However, the Associated Press sent
out different story regarding at least
q portion of the omnibus BILL a special
to the Walla Walla Union of this
morning reading as follows:
The senate today passed the omni-
bus public building bill inserting not
only the numerous amendments sug-
gested by the senate committee on
public buildings and grounds, but also
a few proposed by individual senator's
AS passed, the bill carries a total of
about S35, 900, 900 of which $4,000, 900
is for building contracts.
The larger appropriations for new
buildings added by the senate in
cluded:
Riverside, Cal, S125,OOO; Everett,
and Walla Walla, Wash, $4,000.
The limit OF cost fixed for the SUBJ
treasury building in San Francisco was
increased from $4,000 to $625,00O.
The senate amendment providing
for a new office building for the de-
partment Of state and Justice to be
used Jointly was retained, the ultimate
cost of which is limited to S2,50O. 900
and It is hinted that If this item is not
retained the bill may be allowed to
fail
The amendment appropriating
100000 for purchase of an embassy
building In Paris to be used as an Of
flee and residence also was accepted
by the senate.

A most spectacular sprinting exhi-
bition was given by Dosser Green Of
Adams last evening in front Of the
East Oregonian building On East
Webb street, his speed and agility be-
ing accelerated by the swapping of q.
revolver. in the hands of Lee Price,
an Adams livery stable man, close be-
hind him.
The sprinting stunt of Green was
the elimination of long standing trou-
bic between himself and Price and
grew out of his attentions to Mrs.
Price, the wife of the livery stable
man.
Price had accused Green of beinA
on intimate terms with Mrs. Price and
serious trouble had been experienced
in the Price home at Adams over the
matter. Mrs. Price had been accused
of riding with Green and Of allowing
him to visit her and associate with
her without the knowledge or consent
of her husband and finally yesterday
morning Mrs. Price declared her in
tention of securing a divorce from her
husband and accordingly came to this
city on the 10:45 train.
Suspecting that Green was also in
the city and in company with his wife,
Price also came to this city, arriving
on the 4:25 train, and soon after
alighting from the train and while
walking down Main street toward the /.
East Oregonian corner, he spied his
wife and Green at the RAIDER furniture
store across the street, where they
were renting a go-cart in which to
wheel Mrs. Prices baby.
Price stopped opposite the RAIDER.
store and called to Green to come
across the street as he had something e
to say to him. Green reluctantly
complied with the request, walking
slowly toward the injured husband.
When Green was only few feet dis D.
tant, Price drew a 32-calibre revolver
form his pocket and began swapping
1t directly at Green, who in the
meantime was performing some aero
bauc stunts which place him in the
professional class.
Leaping away from Price the fright
ened lover darted from one side of
the street to the other, crouching close
to the ground at times and running
forward toward Johnson street. COW

less time than it takes to tell It and
rushed into the arms of Policeman

to act and thus prevented another

perhaps.
Price was placed under $25 bonds
for disturbing the peace and permit
ted to. go on his own cognizance.
Green has left town and none OF
his friends know his whereabouts to-
day. Mrs. Price is at the Golden
Rule hotel in this city undecided as
to her future course.

w. H. Steusloff of Salem, is now
president of the state board of sheep
commissioners, his election having
taken place at Salem Wednesday.
Dan P. Smythe, who was reelected
as secretary of the board, returned
from that city on the early train this
morning.
This was the second regular annual
meeting of the board and the first
one since the resignation of President
Thomas H. Boylen. A, L. Mcintosh
was formally installed as a member
of the board, he having been recently
appointed by Governor Chamberlain
to fill the vacancy.
To Fight Foot-ROt.
Smythe says important action was
taken by the board in a number of
instances. One of these was the
adoption of resolution providing for
rules covering the inspection, quaran.
tine treatment and cure of the dis
ease commonly known as foot-rot and
other contagious foot and mouth dis
eases.
There have only been a few cases
of foot rot discovered in the state,
but as this disease is about as disas-
trous to the wool industry as scab,
the board believed it better to take
early action toward stamping out and
preventing the spread Of the disease.
Foreigners Must Be Dipped.
Regulations were also adopted with
regard to the introduction of for
eign sheep into this state. The rule
specifies that all sheep coming into
the state either by rail or trails must
be quarantined and dipped. Smythe
says that according to the showing
made to the board scab has been
eradicated from the flocks
of Oregon. Three or four bands were
recently reported in Malheur and Lake
counties, but these have already been
treated.
There are also few isolated cases
in Douglas county and the state sheep
inspector was instructed to direct his
time and attention toward stamping
out the disease in that division of the |
state. Thre or four federal inspectors
viii lalso probably be assigned to
Douglas county to help in the work
Of cleaning up its flocks.
Arlington Sale Saturday.
From a half to three-quarters of a
million pounds of wool will be offer
ed for sale at Arlington, Saturday, ac-
cording to Smythe. This will be the |
opening of the selling season in east
ern oregon, and while the secretary |
Of the state board does not believe |
the price will be up to that Of last |
year, he thinks the greater part of |
the clip will be sold. He says how
ever, that if the buyers do not offer
, fair price, that the sheepmen of this |
state will be compelled to do what |
hose of other states are doing, con-
sign their wool. Local growers, how
sver, would much prefer to sell their |
'leeces to buyers who are here" he |
