ANNOYS A SOUL TWIN
Chicago Woman Chases
Hubby's Affinity to
New York-Pulls Hair.

New York. Sept. 20-The affinity
wave, sweeping westward. has reached
Chicago. But it appears that even in
Chicago twin souls feel that New York
is the best place for their attuned
notes to play the harmony of life.
Thus 1t was that when Robert
O'Brien. lumber merchant of Chicago,
found in heavy. dark skinned woman
named Rose Wall, his other note, he
gathered together what money he
could, and. without kissing his pretty
young wife goodby, started for New
York with the soul sister.
Some four or five weeks ago it was,
according to the story told today in
the Yorkville court. Robert O'Brien
met Miss Rose Wall in Chicago. When
her husband disappeared Mrs. O'Brien
called on Joseph OBrien, a cousin of
the missing husband, and a private de-
tecNve. They decided from what they
could learn of the affinity that the
couple must have come to New York,
and so the wife and the detective also
set out for this city, arriving Thurs
day afternoon. They went to the po-
lice headquarters and got the assist
ance of Lieutenant Brown.
Beats Up the Soul Sister.
The trail of the twin souls led to
the neighborhood of Third avenue and
Twenty third street This morning at
o'clock the two detectives and Mrs.
O'Brien were standing at that corner.
Came then couple swinging along
under the bright light-he witt daz-
ed expression in his face and she with
her black eyes telling of bossship.
That's her" cried Mrs. O'Brien.
With that Mrs. O'Brien ran at the
heavy soul sister caught her. pounded
her calmly and scientifically for a mo-
ment, and then she fell back on plain
old fashioned hair pulling. That
brought Rose Wall out of her surprise
and she began to work her fingers
through Mrs. O'Briens hair The hus-
band stood leaning against a lamp
post with his mouth open.
The detectives separated the two
mutually repungant anti-affinities and
locked the two affnities up in the East
Twenty second street station, charged
with disorderly conduct.
When the case was brought up in
the YorkvilIe court today Magistrate
Wahle threatened to hold the two
prisoners for trial under the new adul-
terry law.
I'm getting sick of this affinity
business" he said.

STRIKERS SEEK FUNDS.
Photographers to Solicit Mon
ey for Six Months Con
tinuance of Struggle.

Chicago. Sept. 21.-A rally" week
has been decided upon by the striking
telegraphers, beginning next Monday.
to offset indications of a break in the
ranks Of the operators in Chicago, New
York, and other cities. 1t Is expected

The chief feature IS big massmeet-

to make the affair a general labor con-
ference to discuss the financing of the
strike for at least six months more.
G.. Dial Jones, of the local executive
board, said yesterday efforts VIII be
made to get each union, to pledge
weekly donations. If the organizations
will consent to furnish 500 weekly
apiece. the telegraphers figure they
viii have an income OF between $4,000
and $4,000. With this. they say they
could conduct the fight indefinitely.
Both Sides Oppose Arbitration.
The reports Of a break in New York
caused anxiety along the local key men.
The leaders insist, however the Chi
cago strikers are still firm. A viva
voce vote was taken at the massmeet-
ing In the afternoon on the question
OF arbitration.and the result was an un-
animous protest against settlement by
that method. Several thousand dollars
were paid by the union to the strikers
during the day.
Positively no arbitration" was the
expression used by the telegraph com
pany officials in Chicago, in referring
to rumors President Roosevelt had been
visited by New York strikers on a
peace mission.

Oriental Displomat is Pleasing With
His Breezy, Frank and Open
Manner-Is Lawyer.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 20.-News
that WI Ting Fang is likely to return
to Washington as minister from China
has been received in official and diplo-
matte circles with genuine satisfac-
ton.
cablegram from Picking announces:
"Liang Ton En-. who some time ago
was appointed minister to Washington
to succeed Sir Chentung Liam Chang
today was appointed assistant secre-
tary OF the Chinese foreign office
This will prevent him from going to
Washington as minister While the
vacancy at Washington has not been
filled. it is commonly believed that Wa
Ting Fang. formerly minister to Wash
ington, will be returned to that post"
Wu's Breezy Methods.
Breezy, frank, unconventional in his
methods and having some of the
strenuous characteristics of the present
president of the United States, WI
Ting Fang was a joy forever during
the period of his former service as the
Chinese minister here. From the
standpoint of diplomatic observance he
was sometimes too unconventional TO
suit officials of this government. but
in the popular estimation he stood
high.
Mr. WI was recalled by his govern
ment in 1903. 1t was understood at the
time that the empress dowager and
her advisers were dissatisfied with him
and that his recall was in the nature
of a rebuke, although he was appointed
to office on his return to China.
He was succeeded by Sir Chentung
LANG Chang, who has been popular
Sir Chentung had been crack base
ball pitcher at Phillips and Andover
and had lived long enough in America
in his youth to acquire the manners
and understand the customs of the oc-
cidental When he left Washington
this year to return to China much re-
gret was felt throughout official cir
cles here.
Means His VindicatiOn.
Mr.. Wu's return will be regarded as
complete vindication and restoration
to imperial favor. Should his APP
pointment be made soon it will not be
long thereafter before Mr.. WI arrives
in this country, for he has never let
the grass grow under his feet in start
ing out to do what was expected OF
him.
Mr.. WI is a lawyer. He practfced
before the British courts at Shanghai
and learned to speak English fluently
and with hardly any accent He is
progressive and enterprising and de
cidedly up to date. He bought an au-
tomobile when he was in Washington
and enjoyed it greatly.

PROHIBITION In
BIRMINGHAM

birmingham, Ala. Oct. 29-It
was landslide for prohibition in
Jefferson county Monday. The
majority for prohibition is about
1000. Only ten boxes in TIE
entire county gave majorities
against prohibition. The law
goes into effect January l
Bessemer, Ensley, Pratt City,
Woodlawn, East Lake, large
suburbs where working men live,
all favored prohibition.
The city of Birmingham gave
a majority of 320 against prohi-
bition.
The feature of the election was
the presence of thousands of wo-
men and children atss the polls.
They paraded the streets with
banners, sang hymns and plead
ed with voters, and it is believed
! that:they played an important part
in carrying the county for prohi-
bition. The day was clear and
cold, and the vote cast was the
largest ever recorded in the coun-
ty.
Mayor George B. Ward issued
this statement:
"The election has been fairly
won by the prohibitionist. 1t is
now the duty of every citizen to
accept the situation and to give
the plan an honest and fair trial.
The mayors Office will do it's
part. So will Judge Feagin's
court and our police depart
Iment." "
