Woman Is in Prison, and Seems

New York, May 23.-Basking in the
warm glow of his vindication in court
Senator Thomas. C. Plat paid his
compliments to Mae C. Wood today
and incidentally made the positive
announcement that he will not be a
candidate to succeed himself at the
expiration of his term. a year from
next March
Il am winding up my public ca
reer,"- said the senator with a deep
note Of sadness. land 1 cannot tell you
with what regret 1 shall retire to pri-
vate life. But it is decreed."
OF particular semi-po1itical interest
is the reflection of Senator Plat on
the habit of statesmen in scribbling
their autographs on blank sheets of
paper for all corners. A sheet of pa
per which Senator Platt believed he
signed in blank turned up in the Mae
Wood trial at the bottom of an ac-
acknowledgement of his alleged mar
riage to the woman and furnished the
text for his sermon.
VIII Never Do 1t Again.
''I'n never do it again as long as 1
live" said Mr.. Plat. "It is bad bust
ness and any public man who
thoughtlessly obliges an autograph
seeker by putting his name on a sheet
of paper in that fashion runs the risk
of being trapped just as she attempt
ed to trap me-
added: my advice to all public men
is to be exceedingly careful to whom
they give their autographs and what
they give them on. 1t is fact gen.

peculiarly exposed to- the attacks of
women, who ask for positions or
favors of different sorts and end by
trying to blackmail them

REEDER AROUSED
Kansas Congressman Defeats Enlarged
Homestead Bill.

Washington, May "a futter of
excitement was created in the house
today during the consideration of the
conference report on the bin providing
for enlarged homesteads. Messrs.
Mondell of Wyoming and Gaines Of
Tennessee, who had signed the report
urged it's adoption. Mr.. Reeder
(kan.), however, bitterly opposed the
report and bill. and in the course Of
his remarks made the following state
ment:
People of the west seldom send
men here who, do not vote for what
they want and presume that the men
who advocate this bill have hundreds
of tousands of acres of western land
and they have the American disposi-
ton towards everything that adjoins
them $500 cs-s
Mr.. Mendell interpreted this remark
as reflection upon himself and called
Mr.. Reeder to order. The stenog-
rapher's notes were transcribed and
read, the members crowding in front
of the speakers desk.
Speaker Cannon held that the words
spoke fer themselves and that they
did not constitute reflection upon
any member. n aa77fN-st cos.

the report and twas defeated 9S to

vanced against the measure were based
on the superstition that cattle men OF
the west and not legitimate home
steaders would benefit by its provis-
ions, but this hypothesis was vigor-
ously com batted-sf H.
Mr.. Mondell, in charge of the report,
made an attemptto send the bill back
to conference, but his effort was flu
