JOLTFORTHEAFFlNin TRUST
Progress of Uncle Sam's Hunt for Soul
lHate Swindlers.
CULL LOVELORN WITH PICTURES
Clearlua Ilosse for AOlaitles Brukea
lp, an4 Baaehea at Beaatlfnl,
'Rich Widens Left la
the Larch.
Uncle Sam has found some hard nuts
to crack since ha began smashing ths
trusts, but he never aet for himself a more
peculiar task than When he undertook to
crush the "Affinity trust."
It was a comparatively easy problem to
follow the trail of petroleum from ' hols
In the ground In Ohio to the tin can from
which the world's farmer fills his kero
sene lamp. It Is a long jump, however,
from freight ratea on oil shipments to tar
iffs on love missives; from a prosecution
in which there were rebates to blase the
way to one wherein nobody outside the
trust ever got anything at all, except now
and then a homely wife or a husband with
a wart on bis noss.
In ths beginning of what shall constitute
soma day the history of ths government's
war on ths "Affinity trust" there was no
inkling of ths organisation of such
monopoly. Chicago clergymen, to bs sura.
had reported a constant diminution of mar
riages effected through the ordinary chan
nels, but this condition was ascribed to
' young men's growing aversion to con
tracting additional responsibilities in days
w hen salaries seemed out of proportion to
the cost of living.
NVbcdy suspected that the old-fashioned
method of courting holding hands on ths
suit of an Inglunook or cooing in a ham
ouw.k on ths front porch, when there was
one had been superseded to a large extent
by a trust system.
The Searchlight club was the means of
awakening the government to the destruc
tion of competition and old-time rivalry in
lovemtklng. In the course of a long court
contest Uncle Bam learned through this
'club" that it was only one of hundreds
of the same kind in various cities and
towns, that all were allied to a central
headquarters in Chicago and that all
would guarantee to discover the affinity,
the genuine soul-mate, of any person who
would pay their fees. A marriage wa also
guaranteed.
. The Seal-Mats Provider.
The pretty town of Elgin, 111., hugging
ths banks of the Fox river and famous
as being the focus of the Watch trust,
waa the home of the Searchlight club.
The president of this organisation, which
was no organisation at all except as it
formed a part pf ths "Affinity trust,"
was Miss Mirlon Grey, duelling, hand'
some, apparently possessed of a great
deal of money and for a long time a mys
tery. If she had confined her operations
to finding soul mates for the thousands
of girls in tho watch factoriea of the
town she might have amassed a fortune.
But she sought fams as an affinity joiner
in 'a larger field. Using the United States
malls led a postoffics inspector to her
1 richly furnished suits of offices after
shs had taken In about 1J.000 in three
months.
Ths postal Inspector pretended to be in
search of an affinity. He did not make
a misrepresentation. He was hunting for
the "beautiful young widow, posessed of
fctt.000." whom Miss Grey had selected
as the affinity of William Graybell. a
lank farmer of Dearborn, Mo. The Mi;
sourlan accepted and married ths woman
to whom Miss Grey had introduced hlra
by mall, but ha said shs waa homely.
penniless and misrepresented. He had
wooed a beauty by mall, but wedded a
plain affinity at the altar.
This Missuurian had paid ths Search
light club IS to "discover his affinity."
After he married her he complained to
the government that he had been swin
dled. He wanted Miss Grey punished.
He took his wifs to Chicago during Miss
Grey's trial, Although It was shown that
hundreds of others had paid Miss Grey
IS each without even being Introduced
to a possible affinity, It was on the
speclflo complaint of the Missouri man
who wedded the one she provided that
Miss Grey was found guilty by a jury
and sentenced to prison.
Miss Grey's offices were raided and
ehe was arrested when the postal In
spector failed to get a clue to the
Identity of the "wealthy and beautiful
young woman, unincumbered," who had
been promised to ths Missouri farmer.
Thousands of letters wer seized in her
offices. She had kept several stenogra
phers busy. They were subpoenaed as
government witnesses.
Miss Grey confessed that she had sent
the photographs of a Mrs. Cllne of
Omaha to 1,000 men who -sought wives,
but nona of them was able to win the
"beautiful, rich widow."
A Paralysed Afflalty.
Scores of men and women were taken to
Chicago as witnesses for the government.
Among them was William Griffith, 63 years
old, who lives at Amsterdam, Pa. Miss
Grey had sent him a plcturs of his affinity
and promised to bring about a marriage,
he tertiried. and be was so tickled with
the prospect that he at once mailed Miss
Grey her $5 fee, but he heard from'her no
more. Miss Catherine Bolea of Bellevlew,
O., had seen her soul mats In a picture
of John A. Logan of Carml, 111., supplied
by Miss Grey. She corresponded with him
several months. She saw him for the first
time in the court' room, and learned then
that hs was a helpless cripple, both his
legs being paralysed. Miss Bulen was a
vivacious, handsome girl, but she could not
be induced to believe that her natural
affinity was a young man who could not
move without crutches, although she be
lieved in the theory of opporlles.
Uis Grey was convicted of operating a
confidenco game, but was freed on ball
pending argument for a new trial.
It was discovered that the literature sent
to "affinity seekers" by Mrs. Scott was al
most Identical with that, sent out by Marion
Grey. Apparently it had been revised after
her conviction, but In every Instance the
"marriageable person" was represented to
be worth from $1,000 to $6,000.
Photos BrlnsT the Fee.
Miss Grey had represented her patrons to
have amounts running from $000 up to
$25,000 and $W,eoo. Mrs. Scott thought a
smaller sum was sufficient to Induce any
body who wanted a "soul mate" to start
a-woolng. Among the photographs which
Mrs. Scott sent out to men patrons was one
of Miss Julia Bdjidersun, the actress, wife
of Tod Sloan. When this picture was sent
to a lone man who wisned a wife it was
sure to bring a $2 or a $S fee, Mrs. Scott's
charge for an Introduction by mall, espe
cially if it was accompanied by a descrip
tion like the following, taken at random
from the many found among Mrs. Scott's
paperf:
"Thirty-four years old, 120 pounds, light
hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, American
and Protestant. Income $54,0u a year, good
looking and does not cars for society."
The capture of Mrs. Scott brought her
daughter Into the limelight. It was learned
that she had been employed by Harry Hart.
The government's spies had hcud of him
as being the organiser and directing head
of the whole Affinity trust, owning the
headquarters and at least a dosen of the
branches. The search for Hart led to No.
851 Wabash avenue, Chicago, and a raid
on the sumptuous offlcos there of the Lea
mau club. Isadora Meyers was the manager
of the club. When arrested he said hs had
conducted the club for Hart and his chief
associate in the trust, Hugo Morris.
Method at Operatloa.
The authorities uncovered fifty or more
of thsce "clubs" In Chicago alone, all oper
ating under the same plau, with ideiMlual
lures, sxcept that each had its own pictures.
Hart and Morris fled. Thslr principal tools
are under bond awaiting trial. Meantime
the government, is seeking to discover and
suppress the branches In cities other than
Chicago. One ot these is said to be ths
New York Correspondence league, Toledo,
o. Another, which advertised, "Join our
affinity club; we will find your other half,"
gives its address as Lock Box 106, Lester
shire, N. Y. Another has Its mall sent to
Lock Box 6s, Vassar, Mich. The Select
club of Tekonsha, Mich., under the title,
"Special Selections, D XX," offers any
man a bargain In wives in Inducements
like this:
'14 Me. Here I am, boys;' have $10,000
and will inherit $,00D; handsome blonde ot
3$ summers, golden hair and blue eyes, fair
complexion, graceful form, mild disposition,
good education, can play piano and violin."
What appears to the authorities as moBt
extraordinary Is that so many men and
women patronize these matrimonial snares.
Questions relating to this point elicited un
expected answers.
"Are most of your patrons giddy boys and
girls?" was asked ofHlrs. Scott.
"This is undoubtedly true in some In
stances." she replied, "but I'll tell you many
would be shocked to know the high class
people who are anxious to win soul mates.
Why, there's one good fat check among my
effects that I'd like to keep; it's a fee for
getting a wealthy railroad man a pretty
young wife." New York Tribune.

The fire-less locomotive follows the fire

A special agent of the United States. In a
report to the Department of C'ommeVce
and Labor, gives the following details:
As ths name Implies, the locomotive Is

fui.nel and sundry other attachments. It
must oe understood that this type of loco
motive is unsuitable fcr uninterrupted rail
way service, but is essentially a yard shunt
ing machine; In other words. It must keep
near its base of supply, and this base of
supply is the boiler of some local power
station. At this local power station the
tank of the locomotive is filled with steam,
and on this steam supply the machine will
run from four to five hours doing ordinary
s Itching work.
Speaking generally, this flreless locomo
tive is really an accumulator engine, the
necessary power for which is supplied by
a quantity of heated water, the tempera
ture of which Is equal to a ceitain steam
overpressure. This water supplies the
steam for the engine. It gous without say
It g that in default of fire the steam de
velopment Is efUcted at the expense of tha
heat contained In the water, and the en
gine works with a constantly decreasing
power. When steam is brought from the

motive It is precipitated In the cooler water
of the engine boiler and gives up its, heat
to the same until the temperature and pres
sure In both boilers are neatly the same.
This Is the exact reverse of tbe evaporat
ing process during the working of the en
gine, and It results therefrom that, putting
aside the probable water losses through
leakages 'and suc h reasons, the water level
In the boiler, after filling up, will always
remsln the sauie without the water being
actually admitted. Since each engine Is
only provided with a certain amount of
energy Its radius Is limited.
There Is no question but that the fireless
locomotive Is in demanl by European
firms; and for soma of our government
plants and at those private establishments
whore fire protection Is a first considera
tion this type of motor power should prove
of great value. Summed up briefly, this
type of engine offers absolute safety
against fire which might be caused by
flying sparks and all smoke nuisaaee Is
eliminated,. This permits of the machine
being used In sheds and other incloeures.i
There Is marked economy? since the cost
cf producing steam In Stationary boiler
Plants Is less than than when produced by
ordinary fire locomotive. The fact must
not be lost sight of that only one man Is
required to run the engine, and when the
machine is not In operation the services
of this man can be utilised.
Practically there Is little or no repairs
needed on one of these machines; since
there Is no fire box, the strain on the
boiler Is practically nil. The engine can
bo made ready for service In a very short
time, and when once charged Is rtady for
Work at a moment's notice. If It Is not
required constantly the machine may be
left standing without supervision, and even,
after the expiration of several hours It can
be brought Into play. From this It will be
seen that the special province of this "type'
of machine is Interrupted work. '
