Unhappiness
Lieutenant F. Wayne Osbnrn
Is Cause of the Filing of
Divorce Complaint

Naval Constructor Holden A. Evans
devotion to the urgent demands of his
profession rather than to the light
caprices of his wife, Mrs Maude Evans,
was responsible. according to the con-
structor himself, for the domestic un-
happiness which had its elimination
on Christmas day when Evans found
his wife in the act of receiving kiss
from Lieutenant Franklin Wayne Os-
burn, chief engineer of the u S S.
Cheyenne The kiss was given in the
Evans home at Mare island. A divorce
suit was filed on Thursday in the su-
perior court of Solano county by Evans
on the ground of mental cruelty Yes
terday Mrs. Evans found a champion
and 1t was her husband.
Constructor Evans does not invite
sympathy to his case. He does not de-
nounce Lieutenant Osburn, who, he ad-
mits, is the man whom Mrs. Evans
declares she will marry as soon as she
is free. But his simple tale of marital
infelicity is permeated with pathos.
Evans would have the public blame him
for his wife's actions He makes no
serious charge against the woman who
left the English stage to bear his name

as to how life should be lived-con-
corning what life is. My wife is fond

She was an English girl and is
practically friendless here. She is
without friends to advise her. 1 feel
deeply the injustice that was done her
in the imputation that she had been

Mrs. Evans was present at the time
of the interview.

admitted. / also told my husband in

NOTED FORGER IS
FINALLY ARRESTED
Julius K. DilIman, Wanted in
Nearly Every City, Is
Caught
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. S.-Julius K.
Dillman of Chicago, originally known
throughout the entire United States
also as Julius d. Gray and George d.
Curtis, admitted to be one of the best
check forgers in the country and
known to be the most successful passer
of forged checks in the world, was ar
rested here this afternoon. Dillman,
who has served time in San Quentin,
California; in Auburn, New York, and
in the state reformatory of Massachu-
setts, has been wanted in almost every
city in the country for the last six
years, since he was liberated from the
New York prison.
Dillman carried the most complete
outfit for making bad checks ever seen.
His scheme was to step into a business
place shortly after banking hours with
his coat and hat off, pen behind his
ear, and state that he came from a
firm near by, which found itself a
trifle short of ready cash, and would
the house cash his firms check if he
would bring 1t over. OF course he
would disappear and I'm a few minutes
come in with a check which seemed
the real private check of the firm in
question, all lettering, countersigning,
etc. being perfect. It was cashed, of
course, and the hatless, coatless man
would disappear.
Two Pittsburg firms were victimfzed
in the past two days and on Dillman
today were found bogus checks filled
out from 20 Pittsburg firms which Dill
man had intended working off tomor-
row afternoon, a short banking day
He carried his own printing outfit and

check into a firms private check Dili-
man carried a book showing the name

ROOT SENDS RfBUKF

Treaty Negotiations Ended Be-
cause of Emery Claim
Decision
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

WASHINGTON, Jan S.-Information
obtained at the state department today
indicates that the diplomatic relations
between the United States and Mica
ragua are much strained because of a
rebuke which Secretary Root saw fit
to administer a warning to President
Zelaya's government that 1T must pro-
ceed very carefully If a. continuance of
friendly relations is desired
Nicaragua has been making overtures
for the negotiation of a new treaty of
commerce, but Secretary Root has
summarily terminated the matter by
notifying President Zelaya that before
any question of that kind could be dis
cussed the foreign office of Nicaragua
would have to assume a different. tone
in the decision of the Emery claim, a
matter of current diplomatic exchange
between the two governments. It is
said that the secretary's language was
emphatic.
The Emery claim grew out of dis
agreement about two years ago over
a mahogany concession. 1t was de-
cided at length in Washington by at
torneys representing the claimants and
the Nicaraguan minister. For some
unknown reason there was a hitch in

of without further delay, but the reply
that Senior Espinoza, who lately has
been minister of foreign affairs. is
coming with new instructions in re-
gard to the claim so exasperated the
secretary that he declined to consider
the commercial treaty any further.
Senior Espinoza may be able to pre-
sent an explanation which will soften
Mr. Roots anger, but as he and Presi-
dent Zelaya have been largely resnon-
sible for the present unfayorable status
of the case his position may be ex
tremely difficult until the matter is
adjusted or until Mr.. Knox takes
