DIVORCE BLAzFS
WAY FOR ROMANCE
Courts and Cupid Playing Some
Fanciful Franks in Affairs of
P0tters and Depews

A fresh romance is treading close
upon the heels of the Potter divorce
suit, according to gossip at the Pre-
sidio, which has it that the wife of the
young lieutenant, formerly Miss Mary
Louise McNutt of San Francisco, will
try matrimony once more. 1t is whis-
pered that she will become the wife
of CASTOR Depew. nephew of the sem
ator and a young millionaire of Colo
rado Springs. Depew and his wife have
recently resorted to the divorce courts
and rumor ere this has brought the tale
that Lieutenant Potter and Mrs. Depew
are principals in romance of their
own.
Mrs. Potter is in Santa Barbara, but
at her home in this city it was stated
last night that nothing was known as
to her plans.
Mrs. Potter was one of the bellies of
army life and she and her husband
were believed to be happily mated until
a recent trip to Switzerland. There. they
met the Depews. The two couples be-
came very friendly and travelled over a
large part of the country together.
Then came the clouds of domestic un-
happiness The Depews returned to
Colorado Springs. The Potters came
back TO San Francisco. Then came the
two divorce suits and now rumor has
it that a domestic rearrangement is
planned

KNOX ADMITS THE
JOKE IS ON HIM
AS Secretary of State He Can
Not Participate in the
Increase of Salaries
Unable to Profit by Legislation
in Which He Has Been
Taking Part
Especial Dispatch to The Call
@EgE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The joke is
on Senator Knox. He admits 1t. Dur
ing his term as attorney general he
advised against the appointment or a
member of congress as federal judge
because it was in conflict with that
section of the constitution which pro-
vided that no member of congress
should be appointed to an office which
had been created, or the emoluments
of which had been increased during the
time of his service. This was the Page
Morris case A new judge had been
provided for while he was in the house.
The president wanted to appoint him
Immediately The attorney general
said that it could not be done until
Morris term expired
Now exactly the same difficulty has
arisen with, reference to Senator Knox
being appointed secretary of stSte, and
neither Judge Taft nor Knox thought
about these constitutional prohibitions
Without regard to party, congress
will simply repeat part of the statute
which increased the salaries of mem
bers of the cabinet to $4,000 year and
leave the salary of the secretary of
state at $4,000.
Senator Rayner of Maryland, demo-
crat, took the lead in advancing this
opinion. Senator Hale introduced a
bill in the afternoon which repeals
until the end of the fiscal year the in
crease of the salary of secretary OF
state from 5000 to $4,000. as con-
tanned in the legislative, judicial and
executive bills passed at the last ses-
sion of congress.

DECLARE MILLIONS
OF MEN ARE IDLE
Gompers and Mitchell Make
Pleas for Unemployed at
Council of Labor
Promotion of Industrial Peace
One of the Problems to
Be Considered

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Prominent
labor leaders participated in a council
of labor" at the department of COM
merce and labor today. President Com
pers of the American federation Of
labor and Commissioner General Keefe
of the immigration bureau were among
those taking part.
The problems discussed, as suggested
by Secretary Straus. included lcgisla-
tion to extend the steamboat inspection
service to the inspection of locomotive
boilers; consideration of statistics Of
immigration in connection with emil
grafton. and greater effectiveness OF the
Nobel prize, which President Roosevelt
devoted to the foundation for the pro-
motion of industrial peace.
Secretary Straus urged that railroad
locomotive builders be placed under the
supervision of the steamboat inspection
service.
Gompers pointed out that nearly
1000, 900 laborers, who. previous to
October, 1907. had been employed, were
walking the streets. Congress, he said,
had provided instant relief for the suf-
ferers from the Italian earthquake, but
when relief was asked for American
laborers it was styled paternalism and
given no consideration.
John Mitchell said that 100000 to
100000 men in this country were I'M
employed.
The conference called at the White
House and met the president.

.DfPOSITORS MAY
BE PAID IN Full
j. w. Raphael Makes Hopeful
Report at Meeting of the
Association

At meeting of the depositors asso-
citation of the California safe deposit
and trust company yesterday afternoon
j. w. Raphael, president of the asso-
citation, said that he had great con-
f1dence in the organization of a hold
ing company which would save the ex-
pense of administration through the
receiver.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
those depositors who had sold their
books to money sharks at 10 and Is
cents on the dollar were themselves to
blame for their discomfort, as the as
sociatiOn had always advised against
it and had many statements that
the Western Pacific shares were worth
$50
1t was calculated by the association
that the bank should have $4,000 shares
of Western Pacific, whichever at $50
would be worth to the depositors s2,-
500, 600. This, taken in connection with
the other assets of the bank, including
the Indebtedness of S4,000,O00, repre-
senting loans and discounts of the Cali
fornia safe deposit and trust company,
should in time net the depositors 100
cents on the dollar.
The following is list of the assets
of the bank additional to those mem
toned:
The real estate of the California safe deposit
and trust company. Carnegie brick and pottery
company. FL Dorado lumber company, Placer
Vile and Lake Tahoe railroad company, Pacific
window glass company, Lorraine mining COM
pany. Trinity county water and power com
pary, Bradford quicksilver company, Bonanza
Queen mine. Bonanza King mine. Berkeley
chemical company. California cement and lime
company. Western construction company, West
err securities company, Central counties land
company. Central counties traction company.
stock held by the California safe deposit and
trust company OF the National Bank of the
Pacific.
The suits of the association against
the stock holders are being prepared,
and it is expected that considerable
sum will be netted from this source.
