AGED NEW YORN SENATOR CAR.
RlED INTO COURT.
NEVER PROPOSED TO MAE WOOD
Regulates Signature Purporting to
Be His on Marriage Certificate or.
fered in Evidence by Omaha Won.
an-Pad $4,000 to Miss Wood.

New York, May 21.-Physically so
weak that practically he had to be car
ried In and out Of the court room,
United States Senator Thomas G.
Plat was at times a spirited witness
when he appeared to testify in his
own behalf in Mae @. Woods suit for
absolute divorce from him. His denial
OF all the charges brought by Miss
Wood In her suit was emphatic and
when prodded too hard by the plain
tff's counsel the aged senator proved
himself capable of vigorous response.
While the defendant in the action
was in the col t room much of the
day. Miss Wood, the plaintiff, did not
attend the trial. The presentation OF
the case for the defense. aside from
Senator Platt's own testimony, was
marked by a sharp attack on the au-
thenticity of the marriage certificate
which Miss Wood offered in evidence
to support her contention Of a matTi.
monial contract with the senator. This
was followed by an effort to show that
a letter, in which Senator Plat is said
to have admitted his marriage to Miss
Wood, was written over his signature
on blank sheet of paper to which he
previously affixed his autograph on re.
quest of two women applicants for it
while he was stopping at the Hotel
Arlington in this city in 1906.
Senator Plat, himself, in his testi-
mony, categorically denied that he
ayar marriad or promised to marry
the plaintiff. repudiated the signature
purporting to be his on the marriage
certificate and the genuineness Of sew.
eral letters which Miss Wood testi.
fed came to her from him.
He testified that he paid $4,000 to
his son. Frank H. Plat. to bring about
. settlement Of a suit brought against
him by Miss Wood, through the law

Washington, May 21.-The ConClu-
sions of the special committee which
has been investigating the charges of
Representative Lilley that members
OF the house had been improperly in
fiuenCed in connection with submarine
torpedo boat construction, that Mr..
Lilley had violated his obligations as
member and had acted in bad faith
toward the committee and in contempt
OF the house were sustained by the
house by a vote of 1877 to 50. The Con
neCtiCut members Joined in voting
against the resolution by which the
house adopted the conclusions of the
committee as its own Williams
(MissD denounced Lilley as being
guilty of treason, for which, he said.
he should be expelled. He presumed
that the reason the committee did not
carry its report to a recommendation
to that end was because Mr.. Lilley
was at his home i'll and unable to be
present to defend himself in such a
proceeding.
The partial conference report on the
sundry civil appropriation bill occa-
stoned a lively debate. 1t was adopted
and the conferees will continue their
efforts to arrive at complete agree
ment.

Senator Rayner again made an ap-
peal to the senate for vote on reso-
luton authorizing and requesting"
the president to appoint a court Of
inquiry to investigate charges against
Colonel William f. Stewart, coast ar
tillery. stationed at Fort Grant, Ari-
IONA. Rayner declared his belief that
the committee on military affairs
would not report his resolution during
the present session of congress and
asked that modified resolution he
had prepared be acted upon by the
senate without the Intervention Of the
committee. Objection being made,
the further consideration of the resolu.
ton was postponed. The omnibus
public buildings bill was passed by the
senate. 1t carries appropriations ag-
gregating about $45 100000. A bill to
prevent the Dissertation of the flag of

ment on the civil sundry bill was re.

FAIL TO AGREE ON MONEY BILL
Congressional Joint Committee Favors
Naming Currency Commission.

Washington, May 21.-The appoint
ment of a currency commission, to be
composed of nine senators and nine
members of the house. will be provid-
ed for in a bill which Senator Aldrich
will introduce in the senate, and If
this is passed by congress it will com
prise all of the financial legislation
that will be enacted at the present
session.
This course was decided upon by
the conferees on the Aldrich.Vreeland
currency bill at a conference, which
demonstrated beyond question that
there is no hope of getting an agree
ment between the senate and house
on an emergency measure. Undoubt-
eddy this decision means that leaders
in congress are deter mined upon a
final adjournment of congress next
Saturday.
