COSTUMING TO BE
FEATURE OF PLAY
Actress Given Rare Opportunity
to Display Her Peculiar
Daintiness and Charm

With settings, costumings and at
mosphere more in harmony with the
play than is usual there is popular
expectation that Maude Adams as Ros-
alind in "As You Like it," to be given
at the Greek theater, Berkeley, June 6,
will have an unique opportunity for the
display of her peculiar daintiness and
charm.
There is a great deal of conjecture
as to what type her Rosalind will be-
long. Every actress who has played
the role seems to have given it dis
tinct and individual Interpretation, this
undoubtedly being due to the fact that
Rosalind is SO much of woman and
possesses to such delightful degree
the complex characteristics of feminity
that no two women can agree as to
what type she really belongs.
The interest in this Instance is in
tensfied on account of the famed talent
Of the actress about to undertake the
part for the first time. The music and
costuming will be special features of
the production.

PALACE ROMANCE ENDS
IN SUDDEN ROMANCE
San Francisco Bride, of Portland
Man Is incompatible"
ISpecial Dispatch 10 The Calll

OREGON CITY. Ore. May 2s.--Louis
Lang. a member of the wealthy whole
sale grocery firm of Lang & Co. of
Portland. was granted a divorce today
from Alice Marie Lang, who was. before
her marriage, Miss Alice NJ. Baer. a
San Francisco girl, the daughter of
Joseph Baer. The decree was issued
May 21, but just became public today.
The couple had been married only
four months, the ceremony having
taken place January 10 last in the ball
room of the Palace hotel
Lang in his suit charged personal
indignities and said Mrs. Langss temper
and disposition were incompatible with
his. 1t is understood that Mrs. Lang
left the family residence in Portland
several days ago by mutual arrange
ment and that the difference between
the couple was purely one of ttmpera-
ment. The divorce came as a complete
surprise in Portland, where the Langs
are prominent socially.

Especial Dispatch to The Call

Especial Dispatch to The Call
CARSON CITY, New, May 26.-vain
has been the endeavor of Helen Emery
Aoki to bridge the conventional chasm
between yellow and white. futile the
logic Sof her love, empty the faith
which led her to forsake her father and
cleave ,to. a Japanese houseboy. for after
tears she now comes to this city, seek
ing a divorce. The intellectual reason
ings, the girlish dreams, the tenets of
an universal brotherhood which reck-
oned not OF color, creed or convention,
and which a year ago glibly. answered
the protests of a shocked community,
have vanished. The father, Archdea-
con Emory of the Episcopal church, do
cese of San Francisco, whom she for
sock, she has sought again. Fro mthe
laws which she f1outed with airy argu-
ment she desires redress. Ins silence
she. goes her way now, with tirer father,
mother and the child of her unhappy
union, broken in spirit and crushed at
heart, pitiful example of the inexor-
able laws which hold that east is east
and west is west.
OF the years marriage in Seattle she
says nothing. In fact, she speaks not
at all of herself and her love- What
occurred in the japanese village, what
she found there, how she lived. how she
loved and how she ultimately lost her
love are her secrets. In shamed silence
she pays the penalty of her error.
Accompanied by her father and
mother and child she came here several
days ago and was Immediately given
the aid of Rev. Lloyd B. Thomas, an
Episcopal rector here, who, with the
assistance of the members of his parish,
secured them suitable quarters and
kept their identity secret. Archdeacon
Emory went under the name of e. j.
Abbott and his daughter as Mrs. Dea-
con. Ed vander1eith, an attorney and
prominent church member here, has
taken her case. Prior to coming here
the party went to Reno and appealed
to Rev. Samuel Unsworth for aid and
advice Except that she is here to
secure a divorce Mrs. Aoki refuses to
say a word about her case
Strangely enough, the very argu-
ments used by the girl in March of
1909 in support of her marrying Aoki
will apply to the appeal for separation.
Then, in response to questions as to
whether or not she did not consider
herself selfish in creating all the misery
to crafty her own love. she said:
selfish? Narrow? Coldblooded? Just
as you please. These are terms have
applied to myself. In the night
scourged myself for my love. All the
epithets. the abuse, the blame which
has been my share 1 knew before the
clamor broke. ** BY all the die
tates of duty and honor should have
turned aside from my love and my one
aim be to secure the happiness of my
parents. But-and by these butts are
human affairs ordered.
BY all her reasonin gs. logic and love
she ought to have been happy.

BELLE JENKINS
BOND WORTHLESS
Pretty Thief Failed to Renew
Surety; Companion Blamed
for Her Downfall

OAKLAND, May 2s.-It developed to-
day that Harry l.. Holcomb, whose con-
fidential accountant. Belle C. Jenkin,
eloped to Honduras with Harry H
Houston and left SIS, 900 deficit in her
accounts, win have to accept the entire
loss without any prospect of reimburse
ment. In view of the figure of the de-
falcations the conferences with attor-
neys and the girls family have led to
no agreement and Holcomb faces the
entire burden. Even the $4,000 bond
the girl was under proves a straw, as
1T was not insisted on the last time the
annual premium fell due, and the girl
took advantage of this by not renewing
it. The Jenkin family owns the Jen-
kin fixture company. but has no legal
responsibility in the matter, and so far.
according to Holcomb. has offered
nothing.
Expert Accountant Cornell said that
it would be six months before he had
Strengthened the four sets of books the
girl had charge of and until he is fin
ished the exact sum she took will not
be known. The girl showed remark
able craft and ingenuity in passing bal
ances from one set of books to another
and striking bank balances when they
were required.
That the flight had been long contem-
plated is admitted by both the detect
ives and those who knew the couple
In fact on several occasions Miss Jen-
kin made particular inquiry about Ma
Mia and the state OF Honduras. but in
such manner as not to excite sus-
picion.
1t develops that Houston has been
somewhat of globe wanderer and is
familiar with travelling conditions in
this country as well as abroad Charles
F. Booth, realty dealer who has been
| identified with the Holcomb Offices.
says that he met Houston in the orient
and that at that time he understood he
was travelling with woman compan-
ion. This was in 1909.
MUCH sympathy mas Deen expressed
for the girl. as 1t is believed she is the
victim of Houstons persuasions and at
tentions. She lis credited with paying
for the defense of Houston when he
passed fictitious check on local
clothier and was forced to defend him
self in the police courts against a fell
ony charge. Wine suppers, automobile
bills and drink accounts at road resorts
have, it is asserted. been paid by the
girl. When her situation became des-
perate and detection was inevitable ii
is claimed she took what was possible
in a few days and left with her lover.
Another point which displays the
care Houston took of his own conduct
came to light in the subject of a possi-
bic prosecution Everything incrimi-
mating has been done directly by the
girl and Houston could only be pun
ished. if at all, as an accomplice. Thus
he has succeeded in shielding himself
behind the girl.

'"The authorities of San Francisco

made, and also should outline to this
board the scope and plan of the investi-

so that the board can proceed in it's

of what is going to be done, and the
general details of the methods of de-

so far as the Hetch Hetchy valley is
concerned. The thing which this gov

American people want to know, is
whether it is matter of absolute
necessity for the people of that city
to have this source of water supply;
otherwise it belongs to the people for
the purpose for which it has been set

|Y UNANIMOUS in opposing the
II action of the city board Of
health in repeating the meat in
spection ordinance passed bv the pre-
ceding health board, San Francisco's
foremost physicians yesterda-- de-
plored the avowed intention of the
present board to allow portions of
animals infected with tuberculosis to
be sold to citizens of this city. and
censured the physicians who have the
health of the municipality in their
charge
DR.. George Lee Eaton. president of
the board of health, who declared
Wednesday that the bacilli- of tuber-
culosis taken into the stomach do nc
harm, found himself without a sup
porter. for the consensus of medicai
opinion is that tubercular meat trans
mits the germs of the dread disease
into the bodies of those that eat the
meat

Better that / 900 infected beeves be
destroyed" said Dr. William c. Voor-
sanger, expressing in a sentence the
opinion of his colleagues, "tlAn that
one person should contract tubercu-
losis from eating the meat of one OF
those beeves."
Every argument advanced BY Doc.
tor Eaton to justify the repeating ol
the old ordinance, which was to have
gone into effect July l, and the fran
ing of the new one, which will be
submitted to the supervisors soon, was
contradicted by the physicians inter-
viewed. all Of whom are authorities or
tuberculosis. and many OF whom have
devoted their lives to a study of the
disease
That tuberculosis germs taken into
the stomach can transmit the disease
and that they do transmit the disease
was stated by each medical man. II
was further declared that when an
organ of an animal was definitely af-
fected the whole carcase should be
destroyed, as tuberculosis is general
disease that affects the whole system
of the animal 1t attacks.
