Woman Is Held
For: Selling Girl
A. Welded by Chinese
Binghamton Prisoner Ac.
cuses Wong of Opium
Smuggling; Pastor Seeks
Annulment of Marriage

The Rev. DR.. John E. Henry. Of tho
East Side Parish of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who Is caring for
Anna Lee Wong, the fourteen-year-ol
wife of David Lee Wong, Chinese, of
Binghamton, announced yesterday that
proceedings for the annulment Of the
marriage were now under way.
The girl fled from Bipghamton, fol-
lowing the marriage. and was picked
up wandering about the Lackawanna
Station in Hoboken some time ago. In
vestigation of her story led to her
being turned over to DR.. Henry's care.
Anna had been sold by Marie Chin
Wore, a white woman who posed as
her mother, to Wong for $70O The
police of Binghamton said yesterday
that Mrs. Wore had been held in ST.
600 bail for the grand jury, charged
with abduction.
The woman is said to have pleaded
that Chinese secret society forced
her to sell the child. Mrs Wore ad-
mits that she is an opium addict and
implicate Wong in a drug-smuggling
plot.
"Anna's maiden name" DR.. Henry
said yesterday, "is Anna Michaelson
and she is supposed to have been the
-daughtef of Mr.. and Mrs: Morris
Michaelson and to have been taken to
the New York Founding Hospital just
after her birth. There she is said to
have been adopted by the woman in the
case few days later.
"Although she is now known as Mrs.
Wore, there is evidence that she may
have been known as Mrs. Morris
Michaelson previously She and the
girl certainly have a marked resem-
blance.
The woman used to tell the child
she had been picked up out of the
ashcan, and Anna led life of terror.
We sent Anna to a public school and,
as she is naturally very bright and had
received some education, she went right
into the fourth grade. After we have
the marriage annulled we will still con-
tinue to provide for her as we have
done for many Chinese girls"
Mrs. Wore, who is said to be we'll
dressed and extremely good looking,
claims to be of EnglishGreek descent
and says she Cell in with the Chinese
in London"

tion Of those with grievances were able
to air them.
1--WE are determined to see the thing
through" said Mr.. Cannon, "and we
will not permit single case Of injus-
tice, either to tenant or landlord"
Jersey City is preparing to begin a
definite offensive against profiteering
landlords, and will launch It's attack as
soon as the New Jersey Legislature
acts on bill now before 1t. This is
designed to permit the city to build
homes for its residents to the extent
Of per cent of its tax ratables.
If passed this measure will permit
Jersey City to use for home construc-
tion fund Of $3,700,000. With this,
enough two-family houses can be con-
structed to house more than 1,10O fam
lilies.
II passed, the bill will require a
referendum to the people before it can
