BISCHOP TELLS
Wife HE'S GUILTY
Alleged Bigamist Admits
His Marriage To Another
At Spokane, Wash.
SECOND WIFE LOYAL
Says She Loves Him DESPITE His
DeceptiOn.-Wili Not Return
TO Old Home.

At the 'ast just as he was about
to board the train yesterday after
noon to Re taken by Sheriff George
E. Stone tc Spokane, Washington, to
face a charge of bigamy, W. X Bis
chop confessed to the present Mrs
Bischop, who was Miss Elizabeth Opp
of Seaman Ohio, and his latest 49,
year old in :de of two months that he
is guilty Of the charge.
A strange feature of the case is
that the present wife, although Civ
ing way tc torrent of tears for a
few minutes, sticks to Bischop de-
spite the charge and knowledge that
he has another wife. She declares
of course, that since he has another
wife She is not entitled to be his
wife, but that she cares for him de-
spite the series of marital mishaps
which have befallen her and that he
is liable to face prison term because
Of his mlsdeeds.
The Graphic yesterday morning
told that the charge against Bischop
was true, since Sheriff Stone had de-
clared him to be the right man and
also had clear proof in a picture OF
him which he brought with him. The
picture was given to him by the Spo-
kane Mrs. Bischop, who was Miss
Naomi Meyers, Of Wenatchee, Wash
ington, before she married Bischop
August of this year.
Mrs. Bischop, nee Miss Elizabeth
Upp, was married to Bischop just two
months ago in Ohio, and by round
about roule they came to Pine Blur,
and while here previous to his ar
rest, they lived with Mrs. Mary Sey-
mour, of thirteenth avenue and Pine
street. They had been in Pine Bluff
but two weeks when Bischop was at
tackled with malarial fever which con
fined him to his bed.
Mrs. Rischop went with her hus-
band to the train and babe him
fearful goodbye. She declared that
she cared for him in spite of all. She
also said that she would probably
remain in Pine Bluff and secure worn
as she did not wish to return to Sea
| man, where she might be looked
down upon because of her unhapp!
marital adventure. She also sale
that as worry did not mend. matters
she was lot going to worry, but try
and take the matter as calmly as pos
sible.
Sheriff Stone and his prisoner vii

dicted that the bill would become a

Referring to Senator Roots re-
marks of yesterday, in connection
with the complimentary things said
about him and the presidency and APP
parently with the two vicious attacks
made by Mr.. Root on the bill in his
mind, Mr.. Kern said:
1.-THE senator from New York, even
until his seventy-second or seventy
sixth birthday, would retain the yigOr
to accomplish any task thrown upon
him. The banks have called in loans
without excuse manufacturing con-
cenrns with orders have been COM
PEELED to discharge men because they
could not get the money with which
to meet payrolls. Pass this bill and
these men will be recalled into the
factories. 1t is more important that
some measure be passed at once than
any other particular measure be
passed"

The President has not remained In

Heavy winter raiment has been laid

as the builders left It.

carpets and mattings have been removed.
There is not a single hanging on the
walls. The window shades and the
leather coverings of the upholstered
chairs and couches are the only bits of
stuff softer than wood exposed, if the
appurtenances Of the desks, such as the
cloth penwipers, the sponges, the books
on the shelves and writing paper, the ink
in the wells and the rubber on and off
the ends Of lead pencils, are excepted.

bookcases are the only movables remain

Philippines, in the Presidents workroom,

mahogany desks and furniture.
