ADMINISTRATION DEFENDED.
Urges New Labor and Railroad Laws and Declares Stock Gambling Is No Better Than Card Gambling or Race Track Betting.

Washington, Feb. 1. - President Roosevelt sent a special message to congress, which is quite the hottest state document he has ever penned. It is in effect defense of his adminis- tration with respect to his campaign against corporations.
 Never before has he been so bitter in attacking ''malefactors of great wealth." He jumps on the Standard Oil company in vigorous fashion, takes fall cut of tricky corporation law yers and compares men who bribe leg islatures and illegally manipulate cor . porations for their own profit to the leeches who fatten upon blood money from dens of vice, gambling houses and saloons.
 It is plain to be seen that the presi- dents message is an answer to the broadside campaign of abuse that has been heaped upon him by advertise ment and pamphlet since he instigated corporation prosecutions. He stands pat on his record. promises further ac- tion and eternally lambastes his ene- mics. He practically accuses the Stand ard oil company and certain railroad interests with instigating these attacks.
 Chief Points In Message.
 Some of the expressions used by the president to characterize these male factors and their defenders are:
 "Great sinister offenders" Jaw defy ing wealth." "envenomed bitterness "unscrupulous craft" "brazen pro tests" franchise trafficker," 'puryey- or of vice." "blackmailer." ''puppet," hired bully" man killer," ''web of corruption" ''hypocritical baseness." "hideous wrong" murder" bribery" "blackmaIling ward boss" blood mon- ey," "evil eminence of infamy," man. mon of unrighteousness."
 Some of the chief recommendations in the message are:
 That the employers liability law be re-enacted at once.
 That workingmen shall not be de- barred from joining labor unions or go- ing on strike.
 That government employees injured in the service shall be compensated.
 That the federal government shall take active control of certain phases of the railway business and interstate traffic.
 That stock market gambling be de nied the use of malls and the tele-
 TA ....a..... ..,. s-.~nhff,er fr the stock market is no better than card gambling or race track betting
 The message bitterly denouBces the criminal trusts for attacks leveIed at the administration.
 Certain noted speakers who have as- sailed the administration are declared to be in the employ of the Standard OH company.
 The messsre absolves the president from all blame for the recent financial crisis and declares It was brought % by fev dlshonsst rich men

Asked to Plead Guilty and Accept
Certain Amount.

NEW YORK,sMay 24.--Another chap
ter in one of the most remarkable legal
actions that has been heard in tho
:. New York courts in a long time will
probably begin this week. when the
charges of perjury against Mae c..
Wood, the former newspaper woman
and lawyer of Omaha, who sued United
States Senator Thomas C. Platt for d.
yorce, will be laid before a grand
jury. Unusual public interest has CEN
tered in the Wood Platt case. chiefly
on account of the prominence of the
Eyed Senator. Few men are more
widely known than the veteran ex-
leader of the Republican party in this
State. With the infirmities of age
heavy upon him. the Senator was COM
PEELED TO submit TO the ordeal of the
witness stand and the sharp cross-eA-
animation of opposing counsel.
Miss Woods suit involved many
sensational charges, and 1t was fortifl-
ed by documentary evidence until Jus
tice oGorman declared there was
evidence of forgery. and that he be-
neved Miss Wood has committed per-
jury In order to sustain her charges.

of her arrest that burden of proof now
rests upon those who are prosecuting
her. and that 1t will be more difficult
to convict her than to overthrow her
action for divorce.
For several days 1t appeared that the
woman was without friends, but this
was disproved on Saturday, when bail
to the extent of $4,000 was offered by
surety company. This offer could not
pc accepted. owing to the lateness of
the hour when the tender was made,
but 1t will probably be repeated to-
morrow. Rumors that Miss Wood is
supported by friends who are possessed
of strong resources We're revived by
the offer of bail but her counsel de-
clined to disclose their Identity, and
MISS Wood has made no public mention
of such friends If she has them.
Although Senator Plat testified that
1t cost him $4,000 to get possession of
the letters he wrote to Miss Wood, he
has since been quotes as saying: II am
sorry for the woman. but she undoubt-
eddy deserves punishment" Both he
and Miss Wood are quoted as denying
a rumor that the Senator's agents had
anything to do with the offer of bail
for her. Miss Wood, however, asserts
that since her commitment she has
