ANNA STRUNSkY WELL KNOWN
IN COAST LITERARY CIRCLES
NV Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. H.-As Anna
Strunsky, authoress, settlement worker
and member OF the Artist Bohemian club
of San Francisco, Mrs. Walling, who was
arrested with her husband and sister
yesterday in st. Petersburg. was widely
known in this city until she left to take
UP the work of the socialistic propaganda
In Europe.
Her activities here brought her often
into the spotlight of publicity
Rose Strunsky, the younger sister, also
is a San Francisco girl, having received
her education in the schools OF this city,
but was not so well known locally as was
her sister. Anna was born in Russia
of Jewish parentage, but her family came
to San Francisco when she was small
child and this city was her home until
shortly before her marriage to Walling.
She is 26 years old She was graduated
from the Lowell high schol in 1896 and
entered Stanford university, where she
first came into notoriety because OF her
socialistic principles.
1t was while she was still at Stanford
that Miss Strunsky began the active
championship of socialistic principles, and
her interest in this work continued while
she was at the university. She
identified herself with the Artist Bo-
hemian society of San Francisco, and by
the time she left the university had be-
come leader in this circle.
Here work brought her in contact with
Jack London, and together they coilabo-
rated in the Kempton-Wace letters,
which were a protest against the mar
riage conventions. The book was pub
lished anonymously and it was some time
before the secret of its authorship leaked
out.
Anna Strunsky resumed her settlement
work in San Francisco and became the
leader of the Cardinal club, a socialistic
society. She met ]. G. Phelps Stokes and
collaborated with him in several works
pertaining to socialism, and finally de-
termined to go to Europe.
Miss Strunsky went to Geneva, Switzer-
land, returning after short time to San
Francisco. Here she met Walling for
the first time. She returned to Geneva,
met him there again, became engaged
to him some time later in st. Peters
burg, and was married to him in Paris in
August, 1906.
She and her husband entered actively
upon the work of advancing the social
ist propaganda in Europe and have Wis
tied all the socialist centers there They
made short visit to New York about
a year ago, but did not come to San
Francisco. On their return to Russia
they were accompanied by Rose Strun-
sky, who was arrested with them yester-
day.

HAIL TAFT
AS FUTURE
PRESIDENT
FILIPINOS CHEER SECRETARY
OF WAR
-
Silver Loving Cup Presented to Him.
Hopes for Adoption of as Low
Tariff Rate as Is Pos
slble

By Associated Press.
MANILA, Oct. 2t-There was a great
demonstration here tonight in honor Of
Secretary Taft, the occasion being a
banquet arranged by committee COM
posed of members of the general assem-
bly,. The secretary was cheered for five
minutes when introduced with the state
ment that there is no man to whom the
Philippines owe more than to the future
president of the United States" the Ma
tionalists being especially demostrative.
A silver loving cup Of native make was
presented to the secretary, who, In ex-
pressing his thanks, said he was graft
fed when he heard President Osmena say
the United States had kept it's every
promise made to the Filipinos in letter
and spirit.
He urged the Importance of education
in order to overcome the tendency to
blindly follow one man. 1t was neces-
sary to give all an equal opportunity, so
that the son of the humblest person might
aspire to the highest position In the
state. He was confident that the assem-
bly, would unite with him to procure
| legislation to better existing conditions.
He said 1t was important to choose the
best men as delegates tofthe national
| congress. -
! He hoped for the adoption of tarin
as low as possible and a law limiting the
exports of sugar and tobacco to the
United States. This would do good and
would prevent the formation of another
Cuba, where the absorption Of energy In
the production of one commodity means
the control of the masses by the few, and
not in the interest Of the government
Secretary Taft said he was satisfied
with the condition of the Philippines and
solemnly warned those who may attempt
cleavage Of the two peoples now COM
ing together.
In conclusion the secretary toasted the
prosperity and long life of the islands.
At a meeting this morning of the car
nival committee, leading business men
and progressive citizens, Secretary Iatt
in a speech expressed his approval of the
projected island carnival. This afternoon
he had long talk with Aguinaldo.

TRUST HOPES

STANDARD WILL FIGHT ORDER
OF LANDlS
DECISION ATTACKED ON MANY
POINTS
Attorneys for OIL Company VIII Make
Tremendous Efforts to Have
the Judgment Set
Aside
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Plans for the tre-
mendous efforts that will be made by at
torneys for the Standard Oil company
to have the $29,24OOO0 fine imposed by
Judge Landis wiped out by the federal
circuit court of appeals were disclosed
yesterday.
Twenty-Five main points, each one of
which their attorneys will argue is suf-
ficient to have the record breaking fine
declared void will be advanced when the
case comes to trial in January.
The principal argument will be:
failed to inform the defense of the total
immunity agreement with the Alton.
g. That the Elkins act, under which
the conviction was secured, was uncon-
stitutional.
8. That as the Hepburn act was passed
before indictments were returned, prose-
law was illegal.
A. That Judge Lands did not compute
the number of violations correctly.
5. That certain evidence should not
have been admitted.
6. That the Standard Oil company ac-
cepted the rates in question with the un-
derstanding that they were authorized
rates.
A copy of the bill has been given to
United States District Attorney Sims, and
Special Assistant District Attorneys Will
kerson and Parkin will this week begin
their study of the document and make
their preparations to combat the argu-
ments advanced.
The bill will not be filed in the court
of tafn L
Sims Letter Included
Included in the bill given to Mr.. Sims
are copies of Attorney General Bona
parties letter to the district attorney
which was read in Judge Lands court al
| the time the immunity matter was finally
disposed of. This states that the agree
ment was made previous to the beginning
| of the trial The attorneys argue that Il
! they had been informed of the agreement
under which Alton officials took the wit
ness stand they would have questioned
them differently
In attacking the constitutionality Of the
Elkins act, and in contending the passage
or~the Hepburn law made 1t unlawful to
prosecute for violations of the Elkins
law the Standard attorneys hope In event
of favorable decision to furnish a basis
for freeing the company from numerous
other suits pending.
1t will be contended that Judge Lands
failed to compute the number of VIOLA
tions correctly. Instead of each shipment
constituting a violation, the defense will
claim that either the number of settle-
ments between the company and the rail-
road, or else the number of times the
rate was granted should be the only
things considered
In the one case the number Of viola
tions would be about 300, while in the
other 1t would be reduced to only three.
Convictions were secured in 1,462 VIOLA
tions.
Other arguments that will be advanced
are mainly those introduced at the first
trial.
The Standard company has acquired
700 acres at Bayway, suburb of Linden,
near Elizabeth, N. j., and will immedi-
ately start to erect one Of the largest
of It's eastern refineries. The new plant
will be known as the Linden refinery.
