PROMISE SENSATIONS IN
GOULD PERJURY CASE
Accused Woman's Lawyer Says
She Knows of MiIIionaire's
Relations With Actress
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


NEW YORK, July 26-"Miss Flem-
ing's so called confession will not in
jure our defense in the least" said
Maurice B. Blumenthal, counsel for
Mrs. Ben Teal, who is charged with
subornation of perjury in connection
with the Frank ]. Gould divorce suit
I'VE have surprises to spring that
will not only prove Mrs. Tears inno-
cence but will awaken the greatest
sympathy for her. She got into this
mess merely by trying to do an honest
service for another woman who was
In trouble.
Not long ago she was asked to be
a witness for Mrs. Frank Gould in her
divorce proceedings. She objected. as
she disliked that kind of publicity
Finally Mrs. Gould's lawyers per-
suaded her that it was her duty to
tell what she knew, so Mrs. Teal re-
luctantly agreed to do so.
Her testimony is known to be val
liable At all events, the strongest
efforts were made to suppress it, and,
failing at that, to discredit it. 1t is
owing entirely to her Willingness to
help out Mrs. Gould that she is being
prosecuted.
She knows exactly what the rela-
tions of Miss de Vote and Frank Gould
are and learned 1T wholly by chance
ut is absurd for Miss Fleming to
allege that two chorus girls in THE
Dairy Maid" company were asked by
Mrs. Teal to swear falsely"

4 WOMEN IN WEEK
San Francisco Man Offers His
Heart and Mansion Not His
Own and Then Flees
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO The CALL

, CINCINNATI, July 2s-within , one
week Frank Bissinger.. who claims to
be member OF the firm Of Bissiuger
& Co. of San Francisco, became en-
gagged to four different women and
promised to install, them as mistress Of
a mansion he did not own.
Bissinger became acquainted with the
women when they answered his adver-
tisement for a house keeper He lost
no time IN engaging their services and
showed them in relays the interior of
the Seasongood mansion on Walnut
HILL, which he told them he owned.
Real estate men had let him have the
key to the mansion when he repre-
sented to them he wished to pur-
chase II.
Btssinger,. in order to win the con-
fdences of the women he promised to
marry, permitted them to suggest the
manner in which they desired the house
furnished. In this way he leaped into
the good graces OF the women and at
the psychological moment proposed to
them.
He told each OF the four that he did
not want 10 install them as house
keeper and then marry them as his en-
ploye. They. saw the situation in the
same light and made arrangements for
their trousseaus, for which Bissinger
advanced them considerable money +,
Now Bissinger has disappeared. How
many more women he promised to
marry no one knows. So far four have
complained. Bissinger said he was one
Of the victims of the San Francisco fire.
claiming to have been in Europe on
business when the disaster took place.
All the members Of. his family, except
daughter. 10 years old, perished. he
declared. He told his storysin such a
pathetic manner that he gained the
sympathy of his hearers.
Samuel Bissinger Of the firm of Bis
singer & Co said last night that he
had no relative named Frank and no
relative in Cincinnati.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


ANTIOCH, July 6.-Undermined
by an unusually high tide, followed
by an ebb that receded so fast that
the dirt was sucked out from around
the supporting piles, 800 feet of tenn
porary earth levee on Jersey island,
in the San Joaquin river, about 40
miles from Stockton, gave way with a
roar at o'clock this morning.
The whole fertile island tract of
$500 acres, owned principally by the
Jersey island company, was flooded,
with a loss estimated at S250,oOo.
This company had 800 acres of the
finest celery in the river section, esti-
mated to harvest 5000 carloads, which
would have been ready for market in
two months. This, with many acres of
potatoes and thousands of young cell
cry plants just ready for planting, was
a total loss.
Much of the island property was
leased to small farmers of the San
Joaquin valley, who planted it in gar
den truck. The loss will fall heavily
on them.
Two dredgers and a pile driver have
already been rushed to the island by
the Jersey island company, and more
pile drivers and big gang of men will
be hurried there as soon as possible to
close the break.
BY piling bags of sand and anchoring
them with piling the gap is already
nearly closed. It will take 20 days to
pump the water off.
Ten years ago the island was flooded
by a similar break

DALLAS, Tex, July 26.-Tonights
returns from the democratic primary
held yesterday account for less than
half the vote returned and make little
change in the relations reported last
night. Campbell's majority over Will
liams will be in the neighborhood of
5000. Attorney Davidson has a lead
of $500 over Wynne, but it will take
fuller returns to determine the result
State wide prohibition has a very
