/. BAILEY u Y SEEKS Ks WIFE.
Made a Bet to Marry If Elected
Governor Of Kansas.
Chicago Friends Recall Hls Court
ship In llliuois Twenty Years Ago
Was Tilted by Girl He
Loved early. a

Chicago classmates of Gov.-elect
Willis j. Bailey, of Kansas, when he
was attending the University of Illi-
nois at Champaign away back in the
early SOS, have recalled college love
affair of the first gentleman of Kan
sas that, in their minds, at least, ex-
plains why he has never become a
benedict, and makes it fair to pre-
sumo that when he does seek a wife
he will give Illinois a wide berth.
Mr.. Bailey, it seems, fell in love
during his freshman year with a very
pretty and likewise very charming
coed, and soon the brawny young
Kansan was her devoted slave. All
during his college course he was a
most attentive Lothario, and the
young woman seemed to 3reciprocate
his affection. 1t is said that before
Bailey graduated their troth had
been plighted. He went back to
Kansas to his fathers ranch, and
the young woman remained at the
university to finish her education.
All during the vacation after his
graduation the two lovers CORE
sponded voluminously.
But when the fall term began a
new star dawned upon the vision of
the young coed. Another young
chap, not so handsome as Bailey, but
with the advantage of being on the
ground, courted her assiduously. She
gave her heart to him, and wrote
Bailey letter that made him swear
it is said, never again to trust a
woman. An invitation to the we'd
ding of his erstwhile fiancee and his
successful rival followed shortly
afterward. The couple now live in

buildings and grounds and where q
number of adults are kept in close Sc
clusi9n, engaged in the celebration Of
mysterious rites or any other employ
mcnt to which they may be assigned
by the management, which appears to
be quite despotic. Mr.. Bohn, whose
wife was also in the settlement, sue
ceeded in getting back his children.
but not until he got a decision in his
favor from tho supreme court OF Cali
fornia. The stories which they have
told since they were releasedhave con-
tributed essentially to stimulate in
ouiry into the methods employed at
Point Iona. ,.., ,gr
Dr. Mary r. Green, of Charlotte,
Mich, is. the. mother of Mrs. John j.
Bohn. She says that her daughter is
either crazed or hypnotized by Mrs.
Tingley, and took her two little boys
there. The father was refused admit
tance. and so went into court to get his
children. Meantime Mrs. Tingley
struck back and struck hard. Under
her direction, as Mrs. Green alleges,
Mrs. Bohn brought three suits for di-
vorce against her husband, naming her
own mother as correspondent. These
were in Chicago courts, and were dis
missed, but another has been brought
in California. The fact that the care
of the children was adjudged to Mr..
Bohn appears to indicate that this
charge against him and Mrs. Green was
not supported. @r
These statements are ex parte, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, but the
Point Iona school has been before the
public for a good while, and it is GER
tainly highly desirable that full in
vestigation should be made OF the
charges before more children are sent
there to serve as basis for asking a
confiding public for contributions.

POINT Iona SCHOOL,
To Be Investigated by Commissioner
Of Immigration.
Serious Charges Made Against Mrs.,
& katharlne c. Tingley, '.Lotos
Mother" and Chief of the
..Unive rsal Brotherhood.''

The recent Investigation in New
York touching the admission of II
Cuban children that were on their way
to Point Iona, CAL, to become ''lotos
buds" in the Raja Yoga school,
brought out great mass of
testimony as to that institution, its
managers and management. The chill
dren were refused admission, but an
appeal has been taken. News has
come that the appeal will not be decid-
ed until Mr.. Sargent, commissioner
general of immigration, who is now in
California, shall have made personal
investigation of the school.
The opposition to the admission of
the Cuban children was powerfully
backed by the New York Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
which had the assistance of similar
organization in San Francisco. A few
evenings ago this society decided to
try to wipe out of existence the school
at Point Iona, and for that purpose
has given the president, Judge Vernon
NJ. Davis, and the counsel, Mr.. Ell
bridge 7. Gerry, unlimited powers to
act for the purpose of breaking up the
school and the Universal Brotherhood
which is back of it.
The Universal Brotherhood and the
Raja Yoga school have been before the
public for several years. Much of
their notoriety has been due to the ef-
forts of John j. Bohn to obtain pos
session of his two children that were
in the school. The institution is under
the control of Mrs. Katharine c. Ting
ley, who is the founder of one of the
new cults in which theosophy, sun
worship, and some old Egyptian su-
perstitions seem curiously blended.
Mrs. Tingley is the Lotos Mother. and
the children are lotos buds. The school
is only one feature of the Point Iona
settlement, where there are extensive

TROUBLE IN AFRICA.
Conquest Of Somaliland BY England
Means Cruel War.
Mad Mullah who, ON October @, De.
feated Col. Svvayne's Troops
with Great Loss to British
Must BE Conquered.

However regrettable the reverse
suffered by Col. swayne in his opera
tions against the Somali Mahdists may
be, it will have served useful purpose,
says the London Graphic, if it directs
public attention to the Importance of
turning to account the British posses
sions on the Great Eastern Horn of
Africa. OF the existence of these pos
sessions the public knows little; of
their great strategical Importance
and commercial promise they know
less. For this ignorance the present
deplorable situation is primarily due,
for it is impossible for the imperial
government to undertake costly ex-
petitions or to establish an elaborate
administrative machinery in countries
which do not interest the taxpayer.
The coast of Somaliland, with the im-
portant ports of Zeyla, Bulhar and
Berbera, became British some Is
years ago, as consequence OF the
collapse of Egyptian dominion in the
Soudan. For some years it was admin
:stered as sub-dependency of Alden,
which, owing to it's strategical posi-
ton on the road to India, has always
been transmarine dependency of the
Indian empire. In 1898, however, it
was transferred to the imperial gov
ernment, and was taken in charge by
the foreign Office. No public explana-
tions have been given of this transfer,
but to those who have watched the
development of the international ri
valry in the Red sea and the straits
of Bab-el-Mandeb, the motives by
which the foreign Office was actuated
cannot be very obscure. With the
French established at Jibutil and the
Germans and Russians casting about
for coaling stations in the same neigh
borhood, and with the sudden growth
Of the military power of Abyssinia in

Florida, where the husband is a sue
cessful railroad man. - %
Since he was Tilted by this tickle
little coed Mr.. Bailey has had no
eyes for womankind. But of late
years he, is said to have softened his
heart. At any rate, he made an ante
election bet that if he was made gov
ernor of Kansas he would choose q
hclpmate. And his Chicago friends
and classmates say that he will keep
his word, but they fear that he still
smarts from the jilting of the coed,
and will pass Illinois by when he,
goes wife hunting.
Whether the memory of the sting
left by the announcement of the mar
riage is still fresh in the mind of the
western state executive is a question
that has presented itself to number
of Chicagoans by the failure of Gov.
Bailey to find wife in Kansas to
suit him.
Although the winner of the matri-
monial election bet, who originally
stipulated that he must marry a
Kansas woman, has waived that con-
dition and the governor is free to
choose from any state in the union,
he still reports that he cannot find
a wife to be mistress of the $4,000
executive.mansion.
Whether, remembering the past,
he really wants to get married is the
question.
TO this George L. Douglass, Chi
cago lawyer with an Office in the AS
sociation building, who was speaker
in the Kansas legislature in 1889
while Mr.. Bailey was a representa-
tive, makes the following defense of
Gov. Bailey:
"If Willis Bailey made bet that
be would marry if elected he will
marry-that is all. He is a man of
his word and would go through FIRE
and water to keep it. Of course, the
story of the bet may all be made
out of whole cloth. But I knew him
in Kansas and saw him lift himself
from stock raising to craftsmanship.
[ never knew him to fail to make
rood a promise"
Gov. Bailey is known to many Chi
cagoans. He was the guest of honor
at Kansas reunion at the Union
League club when he came to the
city as a delegate to the trust con-
ference.
A description of the man who is
seekinp a wife with an unlimited
field to choose from is given as fol-
lows by his admirers here:
Height, $ feet 9 inches; COM
plexion, light; hair, light brown;
eyes, blue Rather "stocky," round
faced, good-natured and genial.
