 Relatives.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MARTINEZ, Feb. 2.-The name of Clemishire Is not an unfamiliar one. It has been in the papers before now. Many will remember Jack Clemishire, known as one who spent his money freely, was an elegant dresser, got horsewhipped at Pleasanton and was In 1896 sued for divorce on so many grounds that specification here need not be attempted.
 Now, after a comfortable absence from the papers for months. the name appears again. This time Clemish1re himself is vaguely in the background, and the central figure is Rosalie L. Clemishire, who is in financial troubles. Some of her creditors are mentioned as having lively prospect of experien- cling similar troubles. She has filed a petition In insolvency. AS to assets she has wearing apparel upon which is placed the modest estimate of $25, while her. liabilities are $10,0o0. To the First National Bank of Oakland she owes $S500 on deficiency Judgment on a mortgage foreclosure, to Philip Rolf of Pleasanton s750, to the Garden City Bank of San Jose, on a note indorsed by her sister Augusta Younger of San Jose, $500; to Elisha Harlan of San Ra- mon s250.
 The path of Rosalie has not exactly been strewn with roses. Several years ago she was married at San Jose to a dentist named Jenkins. For time all went we'll and then nothing went well. The divorce court sought, she al- leging cruelty and getting. her decree. It was an interesting trial and accounts of it occupied considerable space. She then took up her abode at the home of her brother and sister where she re- mained for some time. When away on a pleasure trip she met Jack Clemishire and afterward was married to him. Her brother, Ed Younger. objected to the union, but to no avail, and this caused a breach between brother and sister Afterward Rosalie went to the home place near San Jose to get some of her belongings. Ed objected, to her coming on account of this marriage to Clemi- shire, and ordered her away. Trouble of a startling nature ensued, terminat- ing in a general fight. Rosalie swore out a complaint in the Police Court charging her brother with battery. Aft erward Rosalie and her husband went away and nothing more had been heard of them locally until the petition of insolvency was filed, although they have had misunderstanding which took them into the courts of other counties, and led to her application for second divorce.
 The number of students who were en- gagged during the year in the various sports for which a physical examination is required was approximately 479, ex- cluding the sport of lawn tennis It Is impossible to state with any degree of accuracy the number of students actu- ally taking a serious part in the sports. There were at one time 365 men under Lathrop's charge practicing. for. track athletics, not including bicycling. but the number examined for that sport, includ- Ing bicycling, was 166. There were at one time at least 195 men playing baseball, but the number examined was only 93 It Is probable that from 600 to 700 men took part in the out-of-door sports named, and it Is certain that many oth- CTS played tennis often.
 Attorney J. R. Aitken, legal adviser to Mrs. Rosalie Cleminshire, gave his opinion as to the cause of her insol- vency in the following words:
 "The principal reason why my client has applied for papers of insolvency" said Aiken, lis that she has been har- assed by the Bank of Oakland and numerous other creditors for money that she Is entirely unable to pay at present, and in view of this fact she has applied to the courts for an appli- cation which will declare her fnsolvent and satisfy those who at present hold claims against her that she is not pos sessed of a single penny or it's equiva- lent valuation in worldly goods"
 MT. Aitken emphatically denies that he knows anything of Mrs. Clemin- shire's past history or the vast inherit ance which was left to her at the death of her father, Colonel Younger of San Jose.
 He said he neither knew the woman nor heard of her until she called at his office on a professional visit, and pleads ignorance of the face that she publicly horsewhipped former lover of hers, which brought her name before the public in series of newspaper articles which were published at the time.
 All that I can say regarding the financial resources of my client" said Aitken, lis that she Is at present with out penny in the world and has ap- piled for insolvency papers that she might clear herself of the $10,00O of de- f1ciency debts held against her by the Bank of Oakland, banking firm at San Jose and two other firms located at Pleasanton, and start afresh in the world by trying to recuperate her lost fortune by raising chickens at Marti- nez."
 Although the attorney said this with
 
 degree of positiveness he refused to permit his assertion to be quoted as a truth emanating from him and merely said that it was nothing but an i'm pression formed by him from the con- versation that took place between him. self and his client when she was in this city.
 Another impression which reflects upon the present condition of Mrs. CleminShire'S a fairs iS that MT. Aitkan was in doubt as to whether Colonel Younger was dead or alive and as to whether Mrs Cleminshire had ever re- ceived her share of the estate at San Jose.
 He pleads ignorance to everything concerning Mrs. Cleminshire's insol- vency except the fact that he received his fee for filing the necessary applica- tion papers in the Martinez courts.
