New York, May 2O.-Sentator Thos.
C. Platt, who is being sued for di-
vorce by Mae c. Wood today entered
the court room where the suit is be-
ing heard, accompanied by two at
tendants, who aided him in reaching
the elevator and his seat in the court
room. Platt walks with considerable
difficulty. With him was his son
Frank H. Platt, and a stylishly dress
ed woman. The prospect that the SEN
ator was to go on the stand drew a
large crowd to the court room. This
prospect was revealed during yester-
days sensational hearing, when the
court denied the motion of the de-
fense to dismiss the suit. Following
this decision Miss Wood continued
her testimony, with the result that
the statement alleged to be signed by
j. Martin Miller was put in evidence.
This statement alleges that Secreta-
ry Loeb and Robert c. Wyn1e, form
erly first assistant postmaster general
now consul general at London, and
Senator Platt conspired to obtain
from Miss Wood certain letters which
she claims were written to her by
Senator Platt. Both Loeb and Wynne
denied last night that they took part
in any such action.
On the witness stand, Senator Platt
said he was nearly 75 years old, and
that he met Miss Wood in 1901 the
year of the death of his first wife. He
denied that he ever asked her to be
come his wife or had made arrange
ments for a marriage ceremony be-
tween them. The senator denied that
he had ever given her photograph
of himself inscribed ITO my dear
wife" Miss Wood had testified that
she was sitting on Platt's knee when
he wrote those words. He acknowl-
edged that he had used endearing
terms to her and called her pet
names, but denied giving her a we'd
ding ring or a wedding certificate.
He said that he first learned of the
alleged marriage through the news
papers. All the letters alleged to
have been written to Miss Wood by
the senator were read, and he denied
that he had written them.
Senator Platt testified that he had
paid $4,000 to his son, Frank, to
bring about a settlement of the suit
brought against him by Miss Wood,
through the law firm of Howe &
Hummell.

Feared Camel, not Affinity

Chicago, Dec. LIT was the camel
lido, and not the affinity, Mrs. Marie
Won Barries, that caused the breaking
up of the domestic ties of DR.. George
How, zoo West Jackson boulevard,
two months ago.
After the brute was replevined on
Tuesday by Naif Corey, proprietor of
an amusement park show, who claim.
ed the physician was holding it
against his wishes, it came to the ears
of neighbors that the real cause of
Mrs. Irene Hows hasty departure
from her home had been removed.
The story ran that she returned late
one evening to find her husband in
the company of Mrs. Won Barries.
That discovery did not brighten her
and she was about to pass into an.
other room to remove her wraps
when she caught sight of the camel
wrapped in a white sheet in lieu of a
blanket.
lido was hidden in a dark corner
but his bulky form was outlined in
white, a background for a shaggy
head, as he swayed it back and forth
At her first scream he stumbled to
his knees, and then tottered to his
feet with a grunt to seek the cause
of the excitement.
Mrs How had departed before the
operation was complete, and she was
not heard from again until she caused
the arrest of her husband and Mrs
Won Barries and filed suit for divorce
She named Mrs. Won Barries as a
more satisfactory cause for separa.
ton than lido, but to one or two
friends she told the real story of the
cause of her sudden flight
That was the first day that the
camel had been under DR.. How S
care. He had persuaded the owner
Corey, that he was an expert with
animals, and he hoped to cure a lame
ness with which lido was suffering. He
1t was in his possession he cherished
the animal and refused to part with it,
When at last Corey called the law
to his aid, Baiiff Kruckstein found
that lido" had become much attached
to his new home. He bit, kicked, and
squealed, and it was not until half
an hours maneuvering that the bailiff
eme ;ged VIGOROUSLY leading him by a
halter.
Since that event DR.. How has not
been heard from. 1t was stated at his
office that he had left the city. 1t
was not known whether the removal
of the camel had anything to do with
his departure.

NO BRIDE FOR NEW HOME.
Failing in Attempts to Secure Mate
Man DESTROYS New House.

La Crosse, Wis, Dec. 19.-Disap
pointed over repeated failures to place
bride in the home he had built for
two, Hollis Worden, of Norway Ridge
up in the northeast corner of Monroe
county, reduced the structure to kind
ling wood. The work of demolition
was begun last week and now only a
woodple marks the spot.
Worden declined to sell the build
ing upon which he had spent several
hundred dollars. He said that as his
stepfather intended to go to the sold
iers home he would go and live with
his mother and that therefore, he had
no further use for the house.
Worden first courted Annie I'm.
bush, but her parents frowned down
the proposed match, and she is now
Mrs. F. Crawford.
His next love was Gertrude Jerome
1t was for her that he built the home
but she decided she did not care to be-
come its mistress and still lives in
single blessedness.
Having faith in the old adage that
Faint heart never won fair lady
Worden became a member of the
Christian church in the hope of win
ming bride, Miss Irene Umbush But
he was again disappointed.
Still undaunted, he renowned his
faith in the Christian church and EN-,
braced the Mormon religion, with the
view of inducing Miss Leedy Mure
man, who was a member of that
church, to become his partner for life
Failing in this, his fourth venture
Worden, who is only twenty-five years
of age, decided to demolish the house
and seek a mate no more.

Gern1an-Russ Colonies,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. Especial
to The News: Few residents of
South Dakota have any idea of the
great growth of the German-Russian
colonies which were established IN
what now is South Dakota thirty
years ago.
There now are fifteen of such
colonies in the state and the property
owned by the colonists is valued at
more than 100000. This property
includes an aggregate of three hun
dred and seventy-four quarter sections
of land, or about 10000 acres, 300
head of cattle, 10000 sheep and other
live stock, in addition to much other
property.
About thirty years ago there were
only three of these cOlonies-Wolf
Creek, Bon Homme and Elmspring.
The Bon Homme colony at that time
owned seven quarter sections of land !;
Wolf Creek and Elmspring had little
more. Thirty years ago there were
forty-siX families in the three colonies.
Today the families in the three col,
onies number 255, which illustrates
the rapid growth of the colonies.
When the financial condition of the
three original colonies warranted 1t,
large additional tracts of land were
purchased and new colonies were
established. Branches of the original
Bon Homme colony are Midtown, Max,
well, Rose dale, Buffalo and another
colony in Sphinx county. Elmspring
colony was the parent of New Elm,
spring and RockpOrt colonies. Wolf
Creek colony is responsible for the eX.
istence of what are known as James.

decided to purchase another large
tract of land with the object Of estab-
fishing another colony. When this is
accomplished it will make the six.

La Crosse, Wis, Dec. 19.-By a

passed resolution in reply to the re-

branding as "bigots" those who would
vote on religious grounds against a

for the presidency of the United
