that The woman is suffering from a
criniina. operation, said TO have been
performed by DR.. D. E. Walters, 14SS
Ellis street.
According to the police DR.. Walters
could not be found yesterday. and
therefore an effort to obtain his YER

however, upon interviewing Haskins,
the police secured from him an admis-
sion that he had sent his wife to DR..
Walters for treatment.
Efforts will be made today to learn
the whereabouts of DIR. Walters. As
sistant District Attorney Hourihan Wis
tied the sanitarium yesterday for the
purpose of obtaining the woman's state

would rot permit of that course.
Mrs. Haskins was sent to the office
of DIR. Walters by her husband Deem

HOTALING WILL BE

OAKLAND Jan. 1.-Widespread In
terest has been awakened by the an
nouncement that Richard NJ Hotal-
ing. musician. elubman and actor. viii
February again appear at Ye Lib
erty theater in a repertoire Of plays.
His engagement at the same playhouse
last year was one of the notable the
atrical events of the season. He inter-
preted on that occasion Hamlet.
Othello, Iago and Shylock, and the
critics agreed that his interpretations
were entirely different in conception
and treatment from those of any of the
great actors, although scarcely less
the leading roles in "Richelieu,"
Julius Caeser." Midsummer Nights
Dream" and THE First Violin"
While small in stature. Hotaling is
OF robust physique and has a magnetic
stage presence. His manner is grace
full and easy and he uses his supple
hands in splendidly expressive, though
not exaggerated gesture. His voice
IS perhaps his most remarkable gift
and his first asset as an interpreter OF
the classic roles. being wonderfully
rich and beautifully modulated
Hotaling has undoubted histrionic
genius. and but for the accident of his
birth would without question have been
one Of the first legitimate actors of the
country His portrayal of the title role
in The First Violin" the part made
famous by Richard Mansfield, win be
looked forward to with interest by PLAY
goers, as 1t is entirely different from
any Of the parts which he has hitherto
attempted. His Richelieu, as well as
the Skaespearean roles, will be worth
crossing the bay twice to see, judging
by the performance of last season.
The plays VIII be handsomely staged
and mounted under the direction of
Manager Bishop. 1t was because OF
the artistic success of Hotaling's en-
gagement last year that he was re-
quested TO again appear under profess
sional auspices. Hotaling is now in
Nevada. but will return in time for
rehearsals, which will begin at Ye

Fear Confession in Attempt

REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 2f.-The whole
county is stirred to its depths by the
downfall of the political machine. The
fact that Joseph J. Bullock, district
attorney, made overtures to the grand

HOW MUCH LIQUOR
MAY A LADY" DRINK /?
Question Discussed on Subject
During Gould Divorce Case
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

loPcIt0f 6tSPutCH 10 ne &dU
NEW YORK, Jan. 21-Just how much
liquor a lady may drink, especially
when the one in question happens to be
Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould, came
up first when several witnesses were
examined in behalf of Howard Gould
who is being sued by his wife for a sep
aration. The examination took place
before a referee, but none OF the wit
nesses answered the question in a way
that satisfied the lawyers on both sides
The discussion was continued when
May Robson, actress, was examined in
behalf of Mrs. Gould.
The witness deposition was fled to-
day in the county clerks office and ii
showed that, while Mrs. Gould's lawyer
wanted to clear her of the charge made
by her. husband that she drank to ex-
cess and was unduly fond of Dustin
Farnum, the actor, the attorneys for
the husband were equally anxious to
show that she drank more than was
good for woman.
Miss Robson qualified as an expert
on drinking; that she knew when 9
person was drunk because she had rec
objections of her first husband, who
came home frequently under the infiu-
ence of liquor.
Miss Robson was sure that Mrs
never WAS intoxicated IN ner
presence, because she always acted in
a womanly way and her conversation
always was refined.
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs
Gould, questioned the witness about a
trip to Atlantic City in company with
Mrs. Gould. There were others in the
party, Miss Robson said. among them
Dustin Farnum. All of them went to
the Hotel Marlborough Blenheim. but
the witness did not see any unbecoming
conduct on the part of Mrs. Gould Miss
Robson said Mrs. Gould treated Farnum
the same as she treated her other
friends.
When asked to give her name the
witness said she was known as May
Brown, Mary Brown Robson" MARY
Robson Brown Mary jeanette
Brown or Mrs. Brown"
Miss Robson told of the many times
she met Mrs. Gould and also of sew
eral occasions when she slept in the
same room with her. Cross examined
by Delaney Nicoll, the witness went
into details as to what Mrs. Gould
usually drank.
Mrs. Gould began dinner with one
or TWO cocktails" Miss Robson said
and during the meal she drank cham
payne Occasionally she finished up
with several cordials. and before going
TO bed she usually had brandy and
soda
