SOUL MATE VISITS
PREACHERS UNDOING
Accused of Alternating AT
fectionS of Young Wife,
Pleads Affinity.

ATLANTA, Ca. March 10.-Soul mate
visits and their complex analysis drew
one of the largest crowds ever seen in
Atlanta city courts today, when the
Rev Charles WoIferam, a graduate OF
Moody Institute Of Chicago. was ar
raigned following his arrest for alien
ating the affections of the nretty young
wife of an Atlanta business man
The preacher and Mrs. Marie Lock
hart were found alone IN the former S
room. They admitted, it is alleged, hav-
ing lived together fo~ some time, but
denied that they had done anything
wrong. Wolferam explained TO the
court that under existing spiritual con-
ditions' between himself and Mrs. Lock
hart, they are entirely innocent.
He further elucidated that as she was
his proper soul mate. or affinity, it
was proper that they be together
Il realize" said the preacher, that
there will be n misunderstanding on the
part OF the public, but Mrs. Lockhart
was paying me one of her usual soul
mate visits. This is simply a case of
attraction OF kindred souls.
DESTROYS of further illumination on the
subject, court held Wolferam for further
examination.

ROOSEVELT TOUCHED
BY WOMAN'S APPEAL
Letter From lin When President Comforted Farmer
Wife Who Was Criticised AS Cook by
Country Life Commissioner

Before President Roosevelt went out
of office he found time 10 write let
ter Of sympathy TO a farmers wife
out near Council Bluffs. Iowa. in which
he gave an incidental rebuke to one
Of the members of the farm life COM
mission and expressed his understand
ing OF the adverse conditions under
which the farmers wife Yves laboring.
The incident grew out &C the fact that
a member of the farm life commission
didn't get the kind OF a supper he
wanted served up to him on short no
tice at the farmhouse where the wO-
man lived,
Henry Wallace, of Iowa, one of the
commission. but not the member who
criticised the meal. has made the facts
public They shed an interesting side
light on the Roosevelt character. While
the commission was meeting at Omaha,
one Of the commissioners told Of stay
ing one evening at the farm alluded to-
Slim Bill of Fare.
About all there was to eat was some
brittle fried pork, some greasy fried
potatoes, and a few adjuncts poorly
prepared From this, the commissioner
generalized that 80 per cent Of the wo-
men on the farms didn't know how to
cook
The story got into the newspapers
in the vicinity and caused the woman
the greatest embarrassment. She sent
letter to the commission in her de-
Tense. She said, among other things,

President Roosevelt heard of the let
ter the woman wrote. asked for it, and
on reading it sent her reply. He So id
he had been deeply touched by her
letter and added:
Believe me, 1 do understand to he
full how hard conditions often are, and
how impossible ii is always under such
conditions to do what outsiders with no
real knowledge of the facts think can
be done. Indeed, the woman who has

four children, the youngest a delicate
baby, is not tC be blamed for one mo-

ben described.

WOMAN ARGUES HER
OWN SUIT IN COURT
Miss Bee Taylor Pleads for New
Trial of Action for Un=
dertaker's Bill

Miss Bee Taylor, familiar figure in
the superior court, who was elected
from the chambers of Judge Sturte-
want a year ago after making a
threatening remark accompanied by a
movement which the judge interpreted
as an attempt to draw revolver from
a hand sa1chel, argued a motion for a
new trial with Attorney Ralph Hath
orn before Judge Trout yesterday.
Judgment was rendered against her
and in favor of the Golden Gate under
taking company May 30 last for $780,
covering the cost of the burial of her
uncle. James D. Taylor, Of whose will
she is the eXecutrix.
The trial was held in my absence,
declared Miss Taylor in long speech
TO the court, 'and the reason given
was merely a fimsy pretext. Mr..
Hathorn knew quite well that / was
called east TO be present at a death
bed"
Arguing with the huency of a prac
ticed lawyer Miss Taylor cited the con-
stitution of California to assure the
judge that he had ample discretion to
set aside the judgment. She had many
IaWbooks in court from the city law
library, and from these she read de-
cisions and sections of statutes galore
Hathorn relied on the contention that
ample notice of the trial had been given
Miss Taylor. Judge Trout took the
motion under advisement.
Miss Bee Taylor was once a clerk
in the navy department at Washing
ton. but was dismissed because of
charges she made against President
Mckinley.

EXHIBITS PANEL
FOR new THFATfR
Artist Places Canvas on Public
View in Rooms OF the
Sketch Club

A panel for the curtain of the new
Columbia theater was placed on exhibi-
tion yesterday afternoon in the rooms OF
the Sketch club in Post street. This is
the work of Arthur F. Mathews, an art
ist who has designed most of the in
terror decorations of the theater.
The canvas is warm and glowing in
color. The background of rich orange
offsets the deep green of the ma gnolia
trees, while touch of white is given
by the few scattered blossoms among
the foliage.
The figure of the woman in the big
Grecian chair is beautifully drawn.
The tones of the drapery are par
ticularly deep and rich and are in LONG
and graceful lines.
Mathews design for the Columbia
theater curtain is considered among
his finest endeavors. 1t will be one of
the attractive features of the place,
which, for beauty and mural decora-
tion. can not be surpassed by any build
ing of the kind on this coast.

OAKLAND BANKERS
BLOCK THEIR TRIAL
Thomas Prather and Warren B.
English Ask That Joint In
dictment Be Quashed
Deny Intent to Defraud Union
National Bank by Loans
Made TO Themselves

Thomas Prather and Warren b. Eng
nsh appeared before United States Dis
trict Judge De Haven yesterday and
succeeded in temporarily blocking their
trial. which rests on the charge of loan
ing themselves money without interest
in defiance of the federal banking laws,
while they were connected with the
Union national bank Of Oakland A mo-
tion to quash the joint indictment and
8 demurrer against its validity were
both filed by their attorneys, Knight
& Heggerty and Bert Schlesinger- As
sistant United States Attorney George
Clark was given five days in which TO
prepare a reply.
The grounds on which the bankers
seek TO nullify the indictment rest for
the most part on the assertion that no
fraud was intended. 1t is set up that
the Indictment did not show that the
men intended to convert the money to
their own use or that they were in
solvent and unable TO repay the loans
or that any money had been lost
through these loans Further objection
is made that the defendants were i'm
properly joined in that one was charged
with certain offenses not attributed to
the other That the loans were made
by the bank and not by the defendants
personally is another defense.

analysis in the demurrer filed by his
attorney. George E. de Cola In the
indictment il is charged that the de-
fendant devised a scheme and artifiee
10 defraud" his client of part of his
inheritance. Objection is now made
that the Indictment does not show what
ehis scheme was. The methods by which
IL was to be worked should have been
explained. according TO De Cola. Judge
De Haven gave Assistant United States
Attorney Ben Mckinley five days in
which 10 file his brief in reply.
