WANTS A DIVORCE
Celestial Tries to Have
Spouse Jailed While He
Is on Trip Home.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. D.-On tha
eve Of returning 10 China for a visit
Charley FoEg had his American wife,
formerly known as the Queen of China
town." arrested yesterday IN hopes that
Magistrate O'Brien would lock her up
for safekeeping until he could return
from his vacation trip 10 claim her.
But Magistrate O'Brien looked into
FOEgs little ccheme more closely than
the latter had expected. and Mrs. Fong
may now get an opportunity 70 rid her
self OF her Chinese husband, with whose
ways she IS thoroughly disgu2ted.
Before her marriage a year ago the
wife was May Vanderslice, Of West
Philadelphia. She was an attractive
girl and won great favor with the
Cinnamon when she became a regular
requenter OF Chinatown.
Rules AS Queen.
Her rule as the Queen Of ChinatoWn's
was undisputed for some years before
she met Charley Fong and married him.
The ceremony was performed by the
pastor OF an Episcopal church. and
Fong and bis bride moved TO 1902 Trays
Ferry road, where he opened a laundry
He is about fOrty-five years old and
has been long in this country. He has
prospered in his laundry business and
sold out recently 10 take a trip 70
China. After selling Fong moved back
to go Race street, where he had his
wife arrested on Wednesday evening
on the charge OF desertion. The police
say that this charge was nothing but
a scheme Of FOng's 70 save Mrs. Fongs
board bill during his absence in China
Treated As Slave
He has treated me cruelty, made ms
his slave, beaten me, kicked ne and
only half fed me-" said Mrs. Fong waen
she faced her husbands charge. Then
she opened up her heart 20 the magis-
trate, told him that her marriage to
the Chinaman was all mistake, that
she was sorry she had ever gone to
Chinatown, and that she only wished
she could get a chance % break away
from all association with the Chii.ess
and earn a respectable livelihood.
Magistrate O'Brien was much i'm
pressed with the story OF Mrs. Fong
and held her case under adFisement,
while he will endeayor TO interest soma
charitable organization in her redemp-
ton. Fong did not approve or that
method OF solving family problems and
expressed his disgust very forCibiy be-
fore leaving the station house.

Woodruff Warns Roosevelt
To Keep Hands off Mev York
State Chairman DefeS the President Taft and Sher-

Force Hughes Renominaton.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Encouraged by
eleven OF the most influential New York
Republican bosses. Chairman Woodruff.
of the State committee, yesterday read
President Roosevelt and Candidates Taft
and Sherman a lesson In political ethics.
and covertly warned them 10 kaep their
hands off the fight against the renomi-
nation of Governor Hughes.
In the opinion Of the bosses who in
dorsed Mr.. Woodruns statement the
war on the governor will be carried
into The convention hau, no matter
what the President and Mr.. Taft may
do 10 prevent it. The most significant
feature Of Mr.. Woodruf's statement
was this defiant warning to the Presi-
dent AID the national leaders who have
expressed the belief that Governor
should receive another term:
WOodruff's Defiance.
Should the President highly as MS
political judgment is valued, or should
our national candidates, Mr.. Taft or
Mr.. Sherman, or should /, as chairman
of the Republican State committee, or
should the committee itself attempt to
direct the course of the forthcoming
convention for or against any candi-
date, such course would invite Re
publican disaster in this momeutous ma
tional and state campaign.
The temper of the public mind is
such as TO resent Interference il the
discharge of the duties OF the accredited
OF the people. Beyond
all this these delegates can be trusted
to voice the untranmefed sentiment or
our party, which has given our great
State fifteen consecutive years OF ex-
able and incOrruptible ad-
of its affairs. Any effort
to interfere with the free and indie
pendent action of the convention should
be opposed by every individual who is
interested In the election Of Taft and
Sherman, and the preservation OF the
country from such a disaster as Is sure
10 easue from q Organized adminlstra-
ton or the Government OF the United
States"
\ While Mr.. Woodruff was expressing
these views President RoOseN cit ana
Candidate sherman were IN consultation
at Oyster Bay. When Mr.. Sherman got
back in town last night on his way 20
his home IN Utica, he declined To sX-
press any opinion about the matter.
