of the problem that the Chinese be

ANNA 5TRUNSkY
IS SOON TO WE'D
Engagementof Talented
Young Writer Is
Announced.
Will Become Wife of Son
of a Millionaire of
Chicago.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Miss Anna
Strunsky, who at 25 years is known
to fame as a writer, a speaker and a
collaboration with Jack London, re-
Gently went to st. Petersburg on a
journalistic errand connected with the
revolutionary propaganda. There she
met William English Willing, young
Chicago millionaire, who was travelling
in Europe to study the immigration
problem and also to write magazine
articles about the Cars dissatisfied
subjects. Their engagement has just
been announced. They are to be mar
ried in Paris within fortnight.
Both young people are widely known
in this city, especially in the university
settlement, where Willing lived for a
time, and at Club AZ Fifth avenue,
the organization of Russian revolu-
tionary sympathizers. No. Fifth ave-
nue. will be their home when they re-
turn to this country in the middle of
this summer.
willing was associated with Robert
Hunter and ]. G. Phelps Stokes at the
university settlement. 1t was through
a syndicate which these people or
ganized that Willing and Miss Strunsky
met in ST. Petersburg.
The idea was to furnish newspapers
and ma gaines with unbiased opinions
about conditions in Russia. The syn
dicate persuaded Willing to go to st.
Petersburg for them and help with the
Russian work. Later and independently
of Willing Miss Strunsky went to the
Russian capital for the syndicate.
Miss Strunsky was naturally thrown
in contact with her fellow worker at
once. Although she had never met him
in America, the fact that they both
came from America and had many aims
n h 1faF7 rfTl n
their friendship so rapidly that they
were engaged within a month. They
went to St Petersburg in December.
~ BY many people Miss Strunsky is
best known by the fact that while a
girl student at Leland Stanford Jr. Uni
versity she helped Jack London write
The Kempton Mace Letters" The
book was published anonymously in
1903. The letters purported TO be writ
ten by young college student at the
University of California to his foster
father in London, man of SO years.
The boy, Herbert Mace, was ngaged to
a girl student at Stanford and the let
ters are an intellectual duel on love
in its relation to the race and the indi-
vidual After months of conjecture the
reading world learned that Herbert
Mace was Jack London, while Kempton.
the poet, dreamer and champion of ideal
love, was Miss Strunsky
London was subsequently divorced
and, many people believed Miss Strun-
sky had been the cause of it-espe-
cially when it was learned that she
was frequently mentioned in the ap-
plication filed by Mrs. London. How
ever, London married again, and Miss
Strunsky was not the bride.
Willing is the son of DR.. Willoughby
Willing, a Chicago physician. He was
a graduate of the University of Chi
cago. His grandfather, William H.
English, ran for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket in 1890 and when he
died left him a fortune of several mil
lions, including large properties in
Indianapolis.

ANTI-JEMISH
RIOTS CONTINUE

ST. PETERSBURG, June 15--Disor-
ders appear again TO have broken out
at Bialystok this afternoon with even
greater fury than characterized Thurs
days riots. No dispatches have been
received tonight direct from BialystOk
where the telegraph Office is closed,
but semi-official messages from Grodno
and Minsk report that the eXcesses
were started again today by the
throwing of several bombs The
crowds, according TO these dispatches,
then opened FIRE on the police station.
70 which the troops replied, and there
was q constant interchange of shots
between Jews from their houses and
. soldiers in the streets. A mob of peas
ants armed with clubs and scythes,
who had found their way into the city
on Thursday, was participating in the
rioting.
A dispatch from Minsk states that
the authorities had been fully fore
warned OF the possibility Of trouble
Thursday and had recalled a battalion
OF infantry and several squadrons Of
Cossacks from their summer camp to
strengthen the garrison. but without
effective result
The latest dispatch from Bialystok,
which was received about midnight,
reports situation Of the utmost grav-
ity. The anti-Jewish outbreak there
was still raging, lighting was in prog
ress IN the streets, the firing was con-
tinuous, the best stores in the city had
been sacked, and many persons were
dead or wounded.
The signal for the outbreak, which
apparently was deliberately planned,
perhaps as a counterstroke for the
murder OF Chief Of Police Derka thcoft
on June 10. which was attributed TO
jewish bundists. is given as the ex-
plosion Of a bomb during a religious
hHy
voIver fusillades in several quarters of
the city. The police are said not to
have attempted to interfere in the ear

sistance possible, many Of them being
armed, but were unable to prevent the

ceiyed here, without being able to re-

rushed 90 Bialystok from Grodno.
Several members of Parliament to-
night received messages from Jewish
correspondents at Bialystok declaring
that the police apparently have given
over the Jewish population to slaugh-
ter and piIlage. A delegation OF depu-
ties Immediately called at the head
where they were informed that all
measures possible had been taken to
stop excesses and restore order.
SO far as can be ascertained thirty
Jews were killed during the outbreak.
The hospitals are filed with wounded.

Mrs. Bussenius Elected Head Of
the Order Of the Native
Daughters.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SALINAS. June 15.-The special or
der of business for todays session of
the Grand Parlor of Native Daughters
was the election of grand officers for
the ensuing year. From 10 o'clock this
morning until after $3.50 tonight ballot
after ballot was cast TO determine who
were to be the successful candidates.
With only light refreshments to re-
lieve the exhausted delegates the
members of the opposition stayed with
the proceedings and finally won vic
tory over the slate" which has for
years controlled the politics of the
Grand Parlor. When the final ballot
was counted this evening the slate"
had but few Offices 10 its credit. The
'anti's" won the grand vice president,
the marshal, both outside and inside
sentinels and five out of seven of the
newly elected grand trustees.
Today's session was noted in the
ANNALS of the Grand Parlor for the
earnestness with which the various
leaders among the delegates fought for
their respective candidates. Every eff
fort was used TO win, and in many in
stances as many as ten ballots were
necessary to obtain a choice. The sue
cessful candidates were as follows:
Eva T. Bussenius, grand president;
Emma G. Foley, grand vice president;
Laura G. Frakes, grand secretary;
Mary a. Dempsey, grand marshal;
Mary Swansbrough, grand inside SEN
tinel; Agnes Peyton, grand outside SEN
tinel; Hazel Mcfarland. organist; grand
trustees Louisa T. Hare of Salinas
Agnes Lee, Teresa MuIdoon, Mary Car
michel and Anna Lacy of San Fran
cisco. Mrs. Hansen of Visalia and Mrs.
Flanety Of Napa.
Tonight the Grand Parlor was en-
tertained by grand concert and dance
given by the citizens of Salinas in the
main street of the town. For the pur-
pose a block Of the thoroughfare was
prepared for dancing and amidst con-
fetti, music and fireworks the Native
Daughters were made the guests of
Monterey County.
The question Of the next meeting
place Of the Grand Parlor remains un-
decided. Watsonville is making a
strong fight for the Grand Parlor. So
is Los Angeles. At present it looks
as if the next session will be held in
the southern metropolis.
On the programme for the enter
tainment Of the delegates tomorrow is
an excursion to Monterey and Pacific
Grove, but the large amount of unfn-
ished business yet before the Grand
Parior may prevent the excursion. If
the work still unfinished can be sue
cessfuIIy disposed OF tonight the
Grand Parlor viii install its officers
tomorrow and adjourn.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI


SAN JOSE. June 15-The divorce
case Of Mabel McAneny against George
McAneny, the millionaire, was up be-
fore Judge Welch this morning on a
motion TO set the cause for trial and
on an application fer the settlement
Of special issues that are to be sub
nitted to a jury. The special issues
were presented by jackson Hatch, at
torney for the defendant, who had
asked for the jury. The issues were
settled. Attorney Louis O'Neall OBJ
Jected to the submission of the cause
to jury on the ground that 1t is not
permissible in cases of this sort. The
objection was overruled
The motion to set the case for trial
provoked a rather lively debate. At
torney O'Neall contended that it should
not be for early date, for the rea-
son that his client is I'll and would
not be able to come into court for
some time. He advanced the further
reason that she was without funds to
prepare her case for trial.
An order was made by Judge Welch
some weeks ago calling upon the de-
fencant TO furnish the plaintiff with
certain sums desired by her to secure
witnesses and pay the costs of a suit
Inc order was appealed from by the
defendant and a stay bond furnished
1t is the contention of the plaintiff
that the case should not be set until
this matter has been decided by the
Appellate Court. The matter was taken
under consideration and the case CON

Testimony Shows Woman S

in testimony in contradiction of the
statement made by the accused to the
she declared that one Joe" Miller had
witnessed the death of McYicar and
had put his body in the trunk.
When the prosecution sought to show
that there had been no such man as
Joe" Miller the defense objected on
the ground that the prosecution had
already proved by the alleged confess
sion of the defendant that Joe" Miller
had committed the crime, and that any
attempt to show to the contrary was
an attempt on the part of the prosecu-
tion to contradict its own evidence.
Judge Nutter everruled the objection
Joseph Healey, with whom the de-
fendant spent all eff the day following
the murder, in San Francisco, testified
that she had told him that McViear
had died of miners consumption at his
home in Sonora; that his brother was
present and had given her the de-
ceased's watch and chain, and that the
body had been shipped to his home in
Cripple Creek, Colo. She also, accord
ing to Healey. told him that there was
