GROCKRS DKM.WD INQUIRY F1 ucl u a t i n g Pr Ices o f Dal ry I 'ood s Declared to Be Without Reason. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 6. (Special.) The Association of Retail Grocers of San Francisco has declared war on the Wholesale Dairy Exchange, and if they do what they threaten there will be an exposure of some of the methods that have resulted in the increase in the cost of food. The secretary of the grocers has. ad dressed a letter to the dairy exchange. ktng reasons for the recent arbitrary changes in the quotations upon butter and eggs, and demanding a stable mar ket which will enable them to satisfy customers.

The grocers propose to app?-al to the Governor to have a rigid Inquiry made.

"PROFESSOR NIBLO" FAILS Her First Attempt at Mating In Psy chic Kealms Turns Out IMsas trously. but This Will Xot Deter Her From Further Quest. NEW Y'ORK. Feb. 6. (Special,) Miss Antoinette E. Gazzam is a young woman who seeks a soul mate. This is on her own statement. Moreover, she is rich, very rich. Her first at tempt in the affinity business turns out to have been a most lamentable failure, for "Nlblo," the hypnotist who appeared to fill all the requirements, won't do at all. now that the young lady with the psychic penchant has had her eyes opened. "Professor Niblo' is in private life Marshall Clark. He is the man whom Miss Gazzam crossed the continent to be .with, but the "professor" has a wife, young, good-looking, and with a very determined will of her own. She is willing to stand for all her husband's clairvoyant work, for it brought in the money she needed for her personal adornment, but when it came to the question of an affinity she balked. Therefore she instituted suit against Miss Antoinette Gazzam, demanding $150,000 for alienation of her hus band's affections. This she later, with drew when Miss Gazzam announced she was through with the man who failed to measure up to the require ments of her perfect soul mate. One reason for the withdrawal of the suit may have been the $25,000 paid by Miss Gazzam to Mrs. Clark, though this was paid, sas the former, because the affinity seeker thought she may unintentionally have done Mrs. Clark a wrong. Miss Gazzam has a fortune esti mated at $3,000,000. and her castle at Corn wall -on -the-Hudson is one of the show places of the state. One day she left her home and went across the country to ls Angeles, impelled, she said, by some force she did not under stand. There she went, quite by chance, to a man who afterward com pletely got control of her mind, Mar shall Oarjt. He tried to Impress on her that he was her affinity, but finally she came to see that his physical coarseness overshadowed his soul qual ities, and the affinity deal was off. GRAIN PROSPECTS GOOD Dayton Fanners Deny Reports of General Damage by Washing. DAYTON. "Wash., Feb. 6. (Special.) Farmers of the Dayton country deny re ports sent out from Walla Walla pur porting to give an estimate of grain crop prospects in . Southeastern Washington and mentioning damage at Dayton and Waitsburg. Although in spots the recent rains did some damage by washing, it is untrue. say the farmers, that whole hillsides will have to be re-seeded. In the Turner and Covello districts where is grown fully 65 per cent of the grain in this county, hardly any damage was done and reports from various parts' of the county say that no grain was In jured by freezing. Snow fortunately pre ceded each cold spell and protected the Fall grain. The fact that unusually small acreage was sown last Fall, tended to reduce the loss to the minimum. Grain oealers, of Dayton, who have in terviewed more than half the farmers as to crop prospects, say the ranchers are elated over indications for a large yield this year.

Sam v nifi jiaitiinrniini myCwm t Old-Time Victory in November Pre dicted as Result of Reorgani zation of Party Fate oX Taft and Beveridge Combined. -INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. . (Spe cial.) Now that the reorganization of the Republican campaign committees has been perfected-, the leaders believe the lines of the campaign have been so laid that every element will be at work for party success and that something like old-time victories will result in Novem ber. Everyone admits the party has made" rapid strides in the direction of better conditions and that prospects for party success1 re correspondingly en hanced. Three or four months ago the leaders could not see how the campaign could be conducted In Indiana with the President favoring the press tariff law and with Senator Beveridge's vote stand ing as a protest againet the same meas ure. United: for Taft and Beveridge, This was a problem with many of the leaders, and. they admitted that they could find no satisfactory solution for It. That solution . bas come apparently with out effort and ail the forces tlmt so gen erously indorsed the President in the dis trict conventions are lined up for Bev eridge for re-election to the Senate, and harmony appears to reign supreme. The fact is some very judicious work has been done in Indiana in the last three months, and the party is now en joying the full fruition of the effort thus Invoked. That effort was directed to bringing all elements together for the good of the party as a whole .and not for the aggrandisement of any one per son in particular. It was known that Mr. Taft wae extremely popular in the state, despite bis signing of the tariff bill and his friendly relations with Speaker Cannon. It was admitted that Mr. Beveridge had added to the luster of the state in the Senate and thctt he was popular with the masses because of his general record and his vote on the tariff bill. Taft Warm Friend of Senator. To this was added the fact that the President and the Senator are warm friends, and that to suffer him to be de feated for re-election was to increase the obstacles that Mr. Taft would have to encounter in Indiana two years hence when he comes up for re-election. However, as a result of the harmony meetings there will be a fine crop of Re publican candidates for state offices be fore the nominating convention. All the present incumbents retire in January next and their successors will be elected in November. There are already two or three candidates for each position on the state ticket, and the number promises to be largely increased before the ticket Is made by the .party. AFFINITY BREAKS UP HOME Cliung Kay's Infatuation for White Girl Stirs Chinatown. The infatuation of Chung Kay, a Chinese merchant. 313 Flanders street, for a white girl, whose name the police have been unable to learn, is the direct cause for the latest upheaval In new Chinatown. After threatening to kill hie wife Satur day, the Celestial merchant dropped from sight and has been mysteriously missinK since. About 'J1000 worth of jewelry, owned by the abandoned wife, is also reported to be missing. A thorough search of Chinatown, made by the police last night, failed to unearth the wayward Chinaman. He is believed to be in hiding with his Caucasian 'affinity." ' The jewelry taken by him, his distracted wife thinks, now adorns the other woman in the case. Chung Kay's abrupt departure came after a violent domestic quarrel yesterday. For several weeks past he has been show ing undue attentions to a white woman. His slant-eyed helpmeet became apprised of his action. They quarreled at frequent intervals because of the husband's atten tions to his pale-faced "affinity." Kay became vexed at the incessant reprimands of his wife. Without warning lie ran behind a counter and grasped a large Colt's revolver. The instant he levelled the weapon on his wife. Ding Baw, a co partner with Kay. jumped toward him, After a' struggle Ding Baw wrested the weapon from the irate husband s hand Soon afterward Chung Kay disappeared from his home. PERSONAL MENTION.
