Worthless Documents

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The house
of representatives today passed the
fortifeations appropriation bill, carry
ing $5,617, 200 Almost half this amount
is to be spent on fortihcations in the
Philippines and Hawaii. The senate,
while il spent no money. put IN more
than two hours in discussing whether
it should allow four million dollars
worth of claims for additional salaries
TO certain postmasters who served
from 1864 to 1874. Senator Penrose at
tackled the proposition as the work or
claim agents.
Much partisan feeling was injected
into a discussion in the house over the
destruction of 600 tons of old and
worthless documents. Among them
were messages to congress from repub-
Iican and democratic presidents.
This fact brought forth commend
both humorous and serious as TO the
value of these documents, which, how

WORK OF STRIPPING
PIER CYLINDERS BEGUN
Wooden Slaves Removed From
Wharves North of Ferry

Assistant State Engineer Ralph Bar
ker reported to the harbor commission
yesterday that he had begun the work
OF stripping the wooden slaves from
the concert cylinders under the piers
north of the ferry depot He began
with pier and up to date the iron
hoops have been removed from I72
cylinders and the slaves from 100. With
the exception of two cylinders all those
stripped proved TO be all right down to
low water mark.
One cylinder disappeared entirely
shortly after the slaves were removed
and the other broke in two about four
feet below the cap.
Unfavorable tides, Barker explained,
had hindered the work, which will pro-
ceed more rapidly from now on.

PHYSICIAN FOUND
GUILTY OF FRAUD
DR.. Arberry TO Be Sentenced
Monday for Attempt to Cheat
by False Diagnosis

After an hours deliberation the jury
that tried DR.. J. J. Arberry on a
charge of attempting to defraud Mrs.
Mary Themasini of 5000 returned a
verdict of guilty yesterday afternoon.
Judge Dunno viii sentence the 'medl-
cal specialist" Monday.
The case was argued for the prosecu-
tion by w w. Kaufman, attorney for
the County medical society, and Louis
Ward, who began the trial of the case
during the administration of District
Attorney Langdon, and remained until
the end without remuneration. Car
roll Cook and Lloyd Ackerman de-
Tended Arberry.
Arberry was the chief consulting
physician for the firm known as the
Doctor Taylor medical company. The
prosecution showed that he told Mrs.
Thomasini her nephew, elysses Mus
clio, was suffering from valvular dis
ease of the heart, but that for 5000
he would cure him. Four experts
called for the people testified that they
examined Muscio about the same time
and found not the slightest trace of
heart disease.
The chief point made for the de-
fense was that a professional man is
not criminally responsible for giving a
wrong opinion.
The case will be appealed, and it is
said other medical specialists" have
put up a big defense fund.
Attorney Kaufman the special prose-
cutor, said last night that this was the
first time a physician had ever been
convicted in the United States of such
an offense.
Physicians so charged usually es-
cape by hiding behind the defense that
their statements were merely matters
Of opinion, and that however erroneous
they can not be punished therefor
Kaufman asserted In this case, how
ever, the introduction of letters, though
they were only in typewriting, and the
admissions of the defendant himself,
convinced the jury that he knowingly
made the representations claimed, and
when so made he knew them to be
false.
1T is the intention of the County
medical society to take up the prose-
cution of similar cases wherever found
in the effort to break up the nefarious
practice of quack doctors preying upon
people from the country and other
ignorant patients and by threatening
them with stories of disease which
they have not, or by keeping the
disease which they have in full opera
tion until they succeed in bleeding
them of the last possible cent"

CALkINS DOES NOT
DENY BEING CRUEL
Wife Alleges Gross Brutality
and Is Granted Decree
of Divorce

Willard p. Calkins, the founder and
president of the i'll starred Calkins pub
fishing syndicate, failed to defend the
divorce action of Mary Alice Calkins,
and yesterday morning Judge Van Nos
trand granted the latter an interlocu-
tory decree on the ground of extreme
cruelty. Not one-tenth of the allega-
tions of brutality recited in the COM
plaint were testified to by Mrs. Calkins.
Are the remainder of the charges
true?" asked Judge Van Nostrand when
the plaintiff had told of being grabbed
by the throat and abused on a couple
of occasions.
YES, all true" she answered.
No alimony was allowed Mrs. Cal
been arrived at outside court. Calkins
was represented by Attorney Francis, v.
Keesling, who. however, asked no ques-
tions of the witnesses.
In her complaint Mrs. Calkins told of
being grasped by the throat and choked
until her tongue protruded and her
eyes bulged from their sockets. On
another occasion. she said, her hus-
Dd0Q OTdBSeQ neI dOOuI Tie TOOH Dy
the hair, and Calkins broke two of her
ribs. When Mrs. Calkins told him she
believed her back was broken he
laughed and left the room.
That her wearing apparel had been
given by her husband to various other
women was one of the allegations made
by Frances E. Clapham in a divorce
complaint filed yesterday against Au-
gust John Clapham, alias August John
-.
The defendant has many times ad-
mitted to his wife that he committed
various crimes and felonies, she as
serts. They were in partnership in the
New York motion picture company, and
Mrs. Clapham says her husband con-
spired with two employees of the COM
pany to cheat her of her interest in the
firm.
Gustav H. Erb, who was granted a
divorce by Judge Graham from Marie
Erb, testified that his wife left him for
one A. Monnack some years ago. Erb
was aware that Monnack had en-
bezzled money from the German gov
ernment and in revenge for the loss
of his wife he communicated what he
knew to the immigration authorities,
with the result that Monnack was de-
ported from the country.
The following divorces were granted
yesterday:
BY Judge Seawell-Napoleon A. Fritz
from Florence Fritz, infidelity.
BY Judge Van Nostrand-Eugenia

FAVORS PURCHASE OF
SPRING VALLEY PLANT

Charles Wesley Reed, addressing the
members of the Women's Heney club
in the Pacific building yesterday. de-
claTed himself in favor of the dual
water project. Reed had previously
opposed the purchase of Spring Valley.
but after deep consideration on the
subject he has come 10 the conclusion
that it's purchase is essential at this
time. Reed was at one time chairman
of the public utilities committee of the
board of supervisors and has made a
special study of the water problem.
We need the Hetch Hetchy and we
need the Spring Valley" said Reed.
"The Spring Valley we must have at
once. At first I was opposed to the
The San Francisco call., 1910-01-14

Spring Valley purchase. However,
have given the matter further thought
and am convinced of the wisdom of the
acquisition of the existing utility at
this time.
IF we fail to buy Spring Valley now
we will have authorized $45,000.O00
bond issue for the Hetch Hetchy. Then
where are we going to get the money
for Spring Valley? There has been
much talk about our legal borrowing
capacity, but certainly after putting out
s45.00O,O00 we will not be able to issue
s35,O00,000 more.
If we buy both now we will get
them for $5S,000.O00. If we get Hetch
Hetchy now by paying $45, 200, 900 and
Spring Valley some time in the future
for s35,000,000, we will face a total ex-
penditure of $S0,00O.O00. 1 think it the
part of wisdom and good sense to get
them both now for S5S,000, ,000."
