Margaret Ellington, Wife of Dan Frohman,
Abandons the Stage for Good and All

gram from my husband telling me how
terrible the weather is in New York
and forbidding me to return yet.
HUSBAND EXPECTED HERE
Il expect him to come out some time
in February, and we shall go to Pasa-
dena together to visit my uncle, Mr..
Carpenter. l am not sure when 1 shall
go back to New York, but not before
MIR. Frohman comes out, of course, and
it will depend upon him when we re-
turn.
Such reports as these are trying. be-
cause when you love a man and belong
to him, 1t hurts you to have such
things said of you. / am certainly not
here to get a divorce and I have no
intention of leaving my husband"
In corroboration of this statement
comes a dispatch from New York tell
ing the result of an interview with
Daniel Frohman at the Players club.
in which he denied that there was the
slightest trouble between him and his
wife. He displayed the following
telegram just received from her:
"Just returned from a motoring trip
in Yosemite. Had splendid time, but
anxious to get back to you. Am bet
ter Wire me whether 1 can return
sooner than we arranged. Love to
my dear husband.
In reply to this he wired Mrs Froh-
man that she had better remain in
California until the cold weather in
the east was over.

water supply will be polluted if the
Heteh Hetchy dam is constructed at
Jacksonville; that the construction of
the dam at Jacksonville will be to
play into the hands OF Ham Hall, and
that Marsden Manson is in entire SYM
pathy with his views on the subject
of the location of the dam, are the en-
phatic statements of Senator John
Curtin of Tuolumne who wants the
Heteh Hetchy joint resolution to call
for the location of the storage dam at
Jawbone and for the designation of
that location in the act of congress
advocated by Secretary Garfield.
Il am not the representative of Ham
Hall, directly. indirectly. contingently
or in any other way" said Curtin yes
terday referring to the charges made
by Supervisor McLeran. Il know that
am acting for the best interests of
San Francisco as we'll as of the mining
interests of Tuolumne, and 1 know that
Marsden Manson agrees with me about
the location of the dam at Jackson
vile.
why, Ham Hall could we'll afford
TO release every claim he has to the
city of San Francisco if he could secure
the location of the dam at Jacksonville.
He wants the water for power and that
dam would settle his problems. His
power supply would be insured He
does not want the dam at Jawbone.
All the big mines and cyanide plants
are above the proposed dam site at
Jacksonville Woods creek comes in
just above the site and on it are situ-
ated the biggest mines in the district.
Their pollution of the water results
in a great yellow streak which can be
followed on the stream for a mile be-
low the proposed dam. Jawbone is
70 miles above the Jacksonville site.
1t is above the cyanide plants. A dam
there will insure pure water. 1t would
increase the cost of the plant since
the construction of a road % miles long
and the additional pipe line would be
involved. but it would be a great econ
omy in the end
The joint resolution memorializing
congress to pass the Hetch Hetchy bill

bly, committee on federal relations to-
morrow afternoon. The measure passed
the senate last week, but when Nat
Coghlan tried to rush it through the

voted against the Hetch Hetchy scheme
at the polls and had no personal in

house refused to act without the reso-
