With practically no available assets

managed during its short and meteoric
existence by Willard J. Calkins, filed
its bankruptcy schedule of $15302o Sc
cured debts and, ssso,5s9.2s unsecured

The heaviest loss is credited to the
Union trust company. This banking
house advanced on capital stocks OF
the various Calkins publishing enter
prises $4,000. The money was lent
on four notes, three for $4,000 each
and one for $4,000. The London

Judging from the schedule salaries
were not paid regularly by Calkins.
There is long list of former employees
with claims ranging from several hun

SPRING ANTIDOTE
FOR RACE SUICIDE
Waters Famous Over Century
Ago Among Parents of
Large Families
Zoeth S. Eldridge Wants the
City to Protect Fountain
and Develop 1t

The preservation of the ancient
medicinal spring known to the Span
iards by the Indian name of Eel Polin''
and recently brought to the public's
attention through The Call by zoeth
s Eldridge. has been taken up by the
board of supervisors at Mayor Taylor
suggestion.
The street committee will consider
what steps should be taken to utilize
this fountain, situated in the steep
incline of Lyon street near Green,
and may adopt Eldridge's recommen-
dation that this strip of Lyon street,
TOO steep for traffic. should be ter
raced and the spring be protected by
pavilion built about it.
To the Spanish, said Eldridge, the
Indians pointed out the spring. telling
marvellous tales of it's medicinal vir-
tues The Spanish used its bene-
fetal waters freely. and it is even
claimed for them that the very large
families of the soldiers of the garri-
son were due in a great degree to the
free use of these waters by the women.
General Vallejo in his 'Discurso
Historico, centennial memoir. 1876,
gives the waters of this spring credit
for the large family of an aunt of his
mother. the wife of the soldier Ignacio
de Soto. who had Is children, IA of
whom were born at the Preside OF San
Francisco.
For 1873 years." continued Eldridge.
this spring has been known to the
white people and to the Indians in
habiting this peninsula for ages I'M
numbered Its waters have been con-
tinuously used To this day Spanish
people living in San Jose send regu-
larly one of their number to get the
water. which they take home for the
supposed medicinal virtues"

DIVORCE MAY LEAD
WOMAN TO STAGE
Wife of Ocean Park H0teIman
Says She Came Here to
Obtain Decree
Mrs. T. O. Evans Rehearses
Play With Nat Goodwin
and Edna Goodrich

Il have come to San Francisco fol
the purpose of securing a divorce or
the grounds of cruelty"
This was the statement made yes
terday by Mrs. T. o. Evans, wife of q
hotel keeper at Ocean Park, whose
sudden appearance at the ST. Francis
hotel short time ago and her con-
slant association with Nat Goodwin
and Edna Goodrich led to rumors OF
another star being added to the
comedians stellar aggregation
As to the specific charges of cruelty
Mrs Evans would not speak. Her sole
admission was that she had suffered
extreme mental anguish at the hands
of Evans, but neither she nor her at
torney, Otto Irving Wise, would &C
into details.
Evans and his wife are well known
in Santa M onica and Ocean Park. Six
months ago she left her husband and
went to New York and Chicago for a
three months trip. On her return. she
became associated with Nat Goodwin
and caused considerable comment in
social circles by beginning rehearsais
with him in his play, The Master
Hand" The gossip increased when il
was whispered that during Goodwin's
stay in Los Angeles she was with him
and Edna Goodrich the greater part OF
her time, never once going to visit her
husband.
Il have been married to Evans for
five years. she said but l do not in
tend to go into the details of my mar
ried life"
Attorney Wise was just as reticent
concerning the matter. This is neither
the time talk about the
case said he, except to say that the
divorce suit is based on charges OF
cruelty without any particularly SEN
sational features"
There is probability of the divorce
suit being filed in Los Angeles. and, in
face of her rehearsals with Goodwin
and their evident friendship. the pre-
sumption is that on securing her re-
lease she will join him on the stage.
