SHIP SUBSIDY FAILS
Measure Goes by the Board to
Await December Session.
HOUSE FAILED TO APPROVE
And When Senate was Confronted by
Deadlock il Agreed to Drop Provision
from Postal Bill.

Washington.-For the second time
within twenty-four hours the house
Saturday, following a discussion of two
hours, rejected the mail subsidy pro-
vision for ocean steamships. Previous
ly similar action was taken with re-
spect to the senate amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill reducing
THE number Of days upon which weigh
ings of mail are to be conducted, with
the result that the postoffice bill for
the third time was sent back to con-
ference, all other features of the bill
being agreed to b. unanimous con-
sent. ieivl~.
AS soon as the action of the house
vas announced in the senate, Senator
sPenrose moved to recede from the re-
naming senate amendments and dis.
charge the conferees. The motion was
carried, and the congressional work on
the bill thus completed. The effect is
to leave the mail subsidy provision out
of the bill, and thus effectually dis
pose Of it for the present session.

PLATT'S NEMESIS JAILED.
Mae Wood Loses Her Divorce Suit
Against Aged Senator.

New York, N. Y.--Mae @. Wood
whose suit for an absolute divorce
from United States Senator Thomas G.
Plat Of New York has been on trial
in the supreme court for several days,
was committed to the Tombs prison
late Thursday after Justice O'Gorman
had dismissed the complaint In her &C.
ton and ordered her held in $4,000
bail on a charge Of perjury
The decision in Senator Platt's favor
and the sudden and sensational end OF
defense occupied largely with the in
PRODUCTION Of expert and other testi-
mony attacking the authenticity of the
documents by which the plaintiff was
seeking to establish her alleged mar
riage to Senator Platt. Miss Wood was
recalled to the stand in rebuttal. She
was asked il, after hearing the testi-
mony about the marriage certificate,
she still reiterated that the defendant
gave her the certificate as she previ-
ously testified.
Il still reiterate it," she replied.
Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss
WoQd and polntedly questioned her.
She repeated her assertion that the
marriage occurred as she had stated
She admitted that Senator Plat never
supported her, and when the court
asked her If She did not consider It
the duty of a husband to support his
wife, she replied: -+
Il do, but as long as he was not
enough of gentleman to do so, I
never asked him to-"
Senator Platt's counsel then moved
for a dismissal of the complaint 1t
was forthwith granted by Justice
O'Gormon, who, in rendering his de-
cision. said:
Il cannot credit the plaintiffs evil
dence as to the alleged marriage and
the testimony as 1t impresses the court
is that this is a most wicked design
to support a false and fictitious claim
by forgery and perjury"
b Forthwith Justice O'Gorm'an ordered
Miss Wood committed to the Tombs
On the charge of perjury, fixing her
bail at $4,000.
She was obviously staggered by the
sudden turn of affairs, and the shock
caused by the order Of arrest which
the court made.
