Former Resident of This Country

Husband Thereby.

New York, Dec. 13.-TWo women have
lust discovered the intricacies OF the
American immigration laws, and are max
ing desperate attempts to defeat them.
Annie Person. twenty-nine years old,
native of Sweden, who has lived in Port
land, Greg, for the past fifteen years,
went back to Sweden for a visit. returned
to the United States in the second cabin,
and was ordered deported because suffer
ing from trachoma. She declares that If
she has trachoma she contracted it in this
country, but the board OF immigration at
Ellis Island decided that that fact would
make no difference
She teIegraphed the story Of her troubles
TO Paul Bjorklund. of Portland, a citizen
of the United States, and he Immediately
came to the rescue. Failing to secure her
release, he took passage back TO Europe
on the same steamer with her. He de-
clares he will marry Annie as S0on as
they. reach the other side. and will bring
her into the United States as his wife.
The other case was that of Mrs. Lud
wiga Kalecveki, twenty-eight years old, a
Polish woman, who has worked in the
wooden mills at WOonsocket r. l., for
the past four years and has earned from
81 10 $40 per week From that amount
she saved sufficient to send for her daugh-
ter Michalena, FIVE years old. The child
arrived, accompanied by a cousin, seven
teen years old and the board of inquiry
at Ellis Island refused them admission to
the United States on the ground that the
mother does not earn enough to support
them. An appeal was taken 10 the board
Of immigration. then to the Department
of Labor and Commerce at Washington,
and the decision was sustained. The
Polish Immigration Society has taken up
the case, and an appeal has been sent 10
President Roosevelt. In case he upholds

chantment: electrical effects never before
ACCOMPLISHED on the American stage; all
these feature. and what would impress
the reader as being much more in the
way of novelty, are promised playgOers
of washington when they attend the New
National Theater next week TO witness
the great production of "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" in which Miss Annie
Russell is appearing as Puck. The
critics of New York and other cities have
given the Messrs. Wagenhais and Kemp
or credit for producing one of the best
versions OF this delightful comedy that
has ever appeared on any stage, Il IS
the version used at Das Neres Theater
Berlin. which caused widespread interest
throughout Germany, and IS still being
presented there, having reached its S65th
performance.
Annie Russell Is said to have made the
hit Of her notable career as Puck She
has so long been identified with sweet
girlish roles that playgoers here will have
difficulty in fixing the character of her
present work definitely in their minds.
She appears in a grotesque makeup as a
Toguish boy, with nothing but mischief
and sarcasm in every thought and action.

KNEISEL QUARTET POPULAR
Lovers of Music Give Enthusiastic Approval to
Each Number on the Programme

The ever-pOpular Kneisel Quartet,
entering upon It's fifteenth season in
Washington. was heard in the banquet
hall of the New Willard last night in
the initial concert of the series ar
ranged for the present season.
The quartet, under the intelligent
and animating direction Of Franz
Kneisel. attracted the usual represent
ative audience. Lovers OF chamber
music regard the series OF Kneisel re-
cttais as one Of the noteworthy and
artistic events Of the winter. Their
appreciation OF the music which was
and is written by masters Of compost
tion for production in small space, and
intended to promote an Intimate know
ledge OF and love for stringed har-
monies. was attested abundantly in last
nights reception Of the numbers on the
programme.
In changing the hour from afternoon
TO evening. the management has catered
to innumerable persons who prefer 20
pursue their musical enjoyment during
the final hours Of the day. A peTcepti-
BILE increase in the attendance Of men
was apparent, after dinner being the
popular recreation time, even in
leisure-classed Washington.
The programmes arranged for the va
rious recitals invariably provide numbers
ia amiliarly comprehensive-to appeal to
the reminiscent ear-and something new
with which to make musical acquaint-
ance. Last nights programme was no ex-
ception. It was arranged in three parts,
the first comprising four movements Of
the Quartet In d minor by Schubert, and
played four times previously at these con-
certs; the second. an andantinO from De-
bussy's Quartet IN g. minor, op. 10. given
for the third time in this city, and the
third the Gliere Quartet, IN A major. Op
2. which had been produced in New York,
but was entirely new 70 Washington.
If il is possible 60 improve upon perfec-
tion, then the work Of the Kneisel Quar-
tet seems TO grow more marvellous year
by year in unity and harmonic discern
ment. In the exquisite andante con motto,
which follows the first movement of Schu-
berts D Minor Quartet, Mr. Kneisel
seemed never to have produced purer
tones, proving his complete mastery Of
technical means, nor Mr. Schroeder to
have so thoroughly displayed his musi-
cianship. as well as his great virtuosity
His instrument thrilled and quivered with
human sweetness throughout Schuberts s
soulful melodies. The gradual crescendos
and the perfect oneness with which the
broken tempo was sustained were mar
yels Of united skill The charm OF the

SEES WIFE WED ANOTHER MAN.
Husband Lives Under Roof with Pair
and Then Has Woman Arrested.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 13.-At Dupont,

ried d few weeks ago, arrested on a
charge of bigamy
Flyte. after telling his wife that he had

applied for a divorce and the subpoena
was issued and served upon her. This
FIyte admits he told his wife was di-
vorce, and he asked her If she would re-

She agreed TO this. Later she wrote 10
Moore telling him that she was divorced.
He returned to Dupont a month ago and
he and Mrs. Flyte were married with the
fun knowledge Of her husband, who made
no effort 10 interfere. 1t Is understood
that he thought the subpoena was equiv

would not be actually granted unul he
