TALBOT SAYS WIFE TOOK
TOO MUCH WHISKY
Bottle aDay Sometimes Con
sumed, He Testifies in
Divorce Case
THEATER INCIDENT
Lumberman Tells How His
' Spouse Angered Him •
in New York
Made irritable by the rigid cross ex
amination of the attorneys for the de
fense. W. H. Talbot, the • millionaire
lumberman suing for a divorce In Judge
Seawell's court, yesterday blurted out
additional charges against his wife.
among them being that she sometimes
drank as much as a bottle of whisky a
day.
Talbot was being cross .examined In
a manner which seemed to annoy him
considerably, and finally burst out:
"I have been trying to keep some
things bark, but if you want them you
can have them."
"TVe are not afraid of the testimony."
said Attorney Shortrldge. "The court
would like to hear what you have been
keeping back."
Thus ordered, Talbot went into full
details of the alleged fondness for
liquor on th<? part of his wj/e. He de
clared that sh« often dranß too much
and that he was forced to remonstrate i
with her.
"Did you object to her drinking?" he
was asked.
"I objTted to her drinking as much
«as a bottle of whisky a day." said Tal
bot.
"Do you know of any day when she
drank as much as a bottle of whisky?"
"I do." said Talbot, emphatically. ;
Continuing his testimony, Talbot de
clared that he would put a bottle of
whisky away in- his cellar and on his
return home would find it empty and
his wife under the influence of liquor.
Be said he did not believe the servants ;
were helping themselves in his absence ;
and he felt sure the liquor had been
drunk by his wife.
In reference to a visit the Talbots
paid to a theater in New. York, Talbot
said that a man seated near his wif«
was acting in a very improper way,
pressing up against her and generally
attempting to carry on a flirtation of
an obnoxious, character.
"Thinking she would be annoyed."
said Talbot, "I asked her to change
seats with me, but she refused to do
so."
"TJat made you angry, I. suppose?"
he was asked.
"Certainly, It made me exceedingly
angry," replied Talbot.
"Did you Insist on changing seats?"
**I insisted, but she refused and I
could do nothing more."
That Mrs. Talbot had a pretty strong
will of her own "was also to be Judged
by the testimony in regard to the leas
ing of the home at Redwood City. Tal
bot testified that after the disaster in
San Francisco the family went to Red
wood City and shortly afterward Mrs.
Talbot declared she had an opportunity
of leasing the property advantageously.
"I asked her not to take any such
step at that time," explained Talbot,
"saying that the city was not the proper
place either for herself or the children.
I epoke rather forcibly on the matter,
because I did not think she had either
the legal or moral right to lease the
j property. Without any further con
sultation she leased the home, and I
did not find It out until I went there
one evening to find the gates closed."
The redirect examination of Talbot
will be continued Monday morning, and,
according to the way- the case is go
ing, it will be several weeks before the
testimony is all in.

Gossip of the Railroads |
E. E. Calvin, vice president and gen
eral manager ,qf the Southern Pacific,
returned yesterday, from New York,
where ;he had been called ' by E.- IL
Harriman. . Several rumors were afloat
regarding^the purpose of the trip and
it was said that Calvin had been sent
for to receive instructions as to an
increase "in Jurisdiction, which was to
be extended to \Osden "and Portland.
The report was revived again that ha
was to be ; tranrf erred to. Salt Lake to
take charge of. 'the Oregon Short'Lin*.
"These stories;" said Calvin . yester
day,- "are without -founda
tion. The subject^ have never even been
discussed. I am'not going to Salt Lake.
i nor is thereto be any change In my
j jurisdiction."
As to why Calvin went i»«t-to see
Harriman, the general manager has no
intention of taking; the public into his
confidence. " .

• DYSPEPSIA CAN BE EASiLY ?
T-. REMEDIED |
I Dyspepsia 13 generally looked I
j on as a disease ranch the same I
j as numerous other ailments that i
I the human system Is heir to. but •
I as a matter of fact it stands In . i
1 a class by itself, and. theoietical- i -
I ly, is not a disease at all. but a •
I deficiency— of the chemistry by I
I which digestion Is produced, al- i
i though the results of dyspepsia"*
• on. the system, are such that a •
i long line of constitutional Sis- \u2666
• eases are easily traceable to It f
I as a primary cause. It is fre- 't
• quently styled by medical teach- J
• ers as the "Mother of maladies." J
<> There have been several en- i 1i 1

f -supplying the chemical digestive ''
• fluids which are deficient, and '
• thus diirestion. is accomplished '
f artificially in the stomach, thus ?

A well known specialist on »

as follows : 'Two ounces of Es- J
