w. w. Chaplin Named in
Action for $7,368
by Modiste
Had Disclaimed Debts
Declared Niece of Late A. L.
Stewart Nearly Ruined
Him

William Wallace Chaplin, of San
Francisco, who has owned newspapers
in various cities, is still defending
suits for fnery bought by his wife, Mrs.
Catherine Gray Sunderland Chaplin,
whose alleged extravaganza, Chaplin at
one time announced, almost ruined him.
It is alleged that Mrs. Chaplin, a
niece of the late A. T. Stewart, the
merchant prince" and millionaire IN
her own right. bought gowns, hats and
jewelry in this city last summer that
cost more than $4,000. Anna McNally.
Inc, made gowns for Mrs. Chaplin to the
value of S7,3GS, which were charged to
Chaplin. The McNally company sued
the newspaper publisher, and judgment
was taken against him. Justice Gle
gerich has granted Chapin's application
to reopen his default and answer the
suit.
Disclaimed Wife's Debts
The Chapins were married in July,
1915, and it was not until September,
1916, that he called a halt on his wite's
extravaganza. lie said he would have
to borrow money 20 settle with the
creditors created for him by Mrs. Cha
pin. He called them together and sub
mitted a Proposition TO settle on 90
per cent b All accepted the offer
with the exc ption fthe McNally COM
pany.
About the same time he inserted ad-
vertisements disclaiming responsibility
for any further debts of his wife. Some
of the gowns and wraps, of which there
were twenty-six, were purchased from
the McNally concern after the adver-
tistment appeared.
Chaplin insists his wife should be
compelled to pay the bill. He points
out that some of the gowns charged to
him were delivered to a Miss Lawson,
a friend of Mrs. Chaplin. A few months
before she married the publisher Mrs.
Chaplin received a payment Of $780,
900 from the Stewart estate.
Owned Many Newspapers
Chaplin was formerly interested in a
San Francisco newspaper, and was a
part owner of "The Seattle Post-lntel-
iigencer." After leaving "The Chicago
Herald" of which he was publisher, he
took over "The Newark Evening Star"
and "The Newark Eagle" which had
been owned by the late Senator Smith

Traditions Violated

and give work for an extra corps OF
nurses on these days when Billy OK
coriates the sins of,the flesh and :he'c
consequences. Traditions were VIC
lated Yesterday, however, for among
the thousands who heard why and
how Chickens Come Home TO Roos;'
none left their seats, either Willingly
or from the weakness produced by the
lash:ngs Of an awakened conscience.
The sermon was a plea "for genera
tons vet unborn" and it was strong
and honest and delivered with all :he
vigor Of which Billy is capable. lie

details which have caused havoc in

your girl an outcast and your hey

bum you'll affect all with whom you
come in contact. You cannot live by
yourself alone.
You say you do not sin, yourself.
All right; then you ought to be afraid
of sin for the sake of your children.
II doesn't take boys long to get on
the wrong track these days, and while
you are scratching gravel to make one

Assails Young Folks

We've got kids to-day who know
more about sin and vice than Methusa-

not yet sprouting long dresses who
know more about vice than did their
great -grandmothers when they were
seventy-iive years old"
They take their religion cheerfully
at the Tabernacle. and the evening be
gan cheerfully enough with music by
the male choir, cheers for the hundred

preaching a demonstration when Billy

accompanying them was the staff band

these occasions.
