C., ask ing him to find her husband, who Is reported to have mysteriously disap peared in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Mrs. Blair writes that her husband arrived in this city August 30 in com pany with a number of railroad men, en route from Louisiana to Greenville, X. C. She says Blair missed his train and later wrote for sott^e money. This money, it is statecL was sent here on September 2/ Sfnor then nothing has been heard of the missing man. The anxious wife Is much distressed over the disappearance and can offer no explanation ns to what became of her husband. So far no trace of Blair has been found by the local police. New York, Oct. 2.-*‘T admit noth ing; 1 deny nothing published of my affairs. The trouble of my daughter and of Mr. Platt will continue only a few days longer, I assure you.” This was the only statement Mrs. Platt, wife of Senator T. C. Platt, would make when she returned to Tioga Lodge late last night, after an exciting day following the startling al legations concerning the war between the senator and his handsome wife, the former .Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway. Have Papers Been Served? Mrs. Platt returned to the senator' country home after a fruitless effort to urrange a meeting with her hus band. A request by Mrs. Platt, over the telephone, for a conference met with a curt refusal from the senator to see her. A sharp dispute between the two was ended by the senator hanging up the receiver. It Is declared now by those In position to know that the papers In Mrs. Platt's suit for a divorce have been served already on Senator Platt. The actress who, It Is believed, will figure In the case refused to see call ers at her city home. No Statement Issued. Although. Senator and Mrs. Platt de clared at first that they would Issue denials of the story of the domestic war, at an appointed hour, such state ments were not given out at the time perilled and have not been Issued. Meanwhile, the disclosures of the PJatt troubles cost \V. K. Busby his position with the Interborough Realty Company. Mr. Busby was one of the guests of the Platts on the trip across the continent. It Is stated that Mr. Bushy was accused of making public the facts regarding the scenes In the Platt home, and that his denials failed to save his position. Say She Confirmed Story. It had been announced that Mrs. Gay Robertson, the Washington woman who also accompanied the Platt* across the continent, was hurrying’ to New York to make a sworn denial of the story that had been printed. Mrs. Robertson, however, failed to arrive. The reason, It was asserted later, was because she had already confirmed the story In detail. Coachman Hedges, who Is said to have been treated as a guest on th** California trip of the Platts, declared yesterday that Colonel Carmody, Mrs. OHIO FOLK SEEK WIDOWJT NIGHT People Are Scouring Neigh borhood in Effort t<t Find Assailant. Wellston, Ohio, Oct. 2.—*The entire neighborhood at Lee, seven miles from here. Is aroused, and people are scour ing the territory because of an assault committed upon Mrs. 8. J. Steele, n widow; some time last night. Councilmen, However Sad ly Shake Their Heads. Unsatisfied with the addition of forty policemen to the force, the hoard of police commissioners appeared before council Monday afternoon and pleaded for a paid reserfe squad of thirty men. Chairman Terry, Captain English and Chief Jennings all made strong argu ments for the organization of a paid reserve. % Council listened with Interest, agreed with all the arguments, but those who held the city money-bug strings sadly shook their heads und handed out counter suggestions. The matter was referred to the finance committee. Chulrman Terry, In speaking of the recent riot, said that there were no re- ?rve policemen at the station house hen the matter started and that It re quired two hours to get the officers from the more remote districts of the Ity to the scene of the excitement. Among other things Mr. Terry said: "There are only fifty men to guard the city of 140,00U persons. It was Im possible for the police force to handle the riot any better than It did.

DID IL" ADAMS TAKE HIS OWN LIFE, OR WAS HE SLAIN? Coroner Not Satisfied That Policy King Was Suicide. New York, Oct. 2.—Coroner Julius Hnrburger, after devoting all of y« terda.v and part of last night to an Investigation of the circumstances sur rounding the death of "Al” Adams, the former "policy king* declared early today that he was not satisfied with the ^ulclde theory nnd hinted strongly that the evidence he had gathered pointed to foul play. Adams was found In his bachelor apartments on the fifteenth floor of the Ansonia, dead irom a pistol bullet wound. The theory I* said to he that a false friend. >ne who was undei great obligations to the dead man, commit ted the deed. George \V. Robbins, treasurer of the Greene Copper Company, who had apartments directly under Adams, was the only person who heard any noise. He heard a sound like the slamming of a door, he said. So far as the coroner can ascertain, the motive for suicide is entirely lack ing. MAUD. $3.38 —TO— Macon, Ga., and Return —VIA— Central of Georgia Railway.

A., Atlanta, Ga. < we had "A police department Is not, In my Judgment, meant so much to atop u riot as to forestall the possibility of one. We n»ver have enough men In one lo cality to allay a great amount of ex citement.” Captain English opened his speech by saying he knew what the council had In their minds to do, "but the pov erty plea won't go. We must have a reserve." Captain Knglish stated that the pres ent farce was not adequate to assure protection In pence. "We should huve this reserve no matter what the cost," he said. He spoke of the extra duty cheerfully done by the department dur ing the riot and the hard hours Im posed nt all times because of the two shift tystem and went Into an expla nation of the work of a reserve force and the effects. Chief Jennings stated thut It was possible, that the riot could hove been stemmed had the station been notified In time. Councilman Patterson, chairman of Ihb flnnnce committee,'asked about the volunteer reserve force which was abolished some years ago and whether one could not again l>e formed.
