NAVAL SURGEON'S
WIFE GETS DECREE
Says Spouse Asserted Sierras
Not Fascinating Enough
for Navy Set
Pretty Southern Woman Is
Granted Divorce on Grounds
of Desertion
"He told me that I was not fascinat
ing, that I was not beautiful enougli to
move in tho 'swagger' naval set in
Washington." said Mrs. Mary Frances
Jjuhifrg. wife of Dr. J. T. Duhigg of
the torpedo boat Hull, whose matri
monial tics were severed by Judge Mo
jran yestc-rday. She declares this was
the sole reason of her husband's deser
tion.
And yet Mrs. Duhigg is a very attrac
tive woman. She is of the petite
southern style, with a wealth of auburn
liair. blue eyes and complexion which
a beauty specialist would term perfect.
"He complained that I was not ro
bust. lam not. My lungs are weak
and my heart irregular, conditions I
should think would rather Impell a
man, if he loved a woman, to protect
Jier rather than desert her," she con
tinued.
XATIVE OF GEORGIA
Mrs. Duhigg was formerly Mrs.
Oiarles Carrol of Carrolton. Her hus
band, who was a grand nephew of Car
rol of Carrolton, a signer of the declar
ation of independence, died about three
years ago in Paris. A daughter, now
4 years of age, is at present in a con
vent in Los Angeles. Mrs. Duhigg is
a native of Atlanta, Ga., although the
most of her life has been spent in
Washington and Baltimore.
She married Duhigg in Washington
in September. 1907. According to her
t-omplaint she was deserted in Decem
ber of the same year. Dr. Duhigg is
now stationed with the torpedo boat
Hull, which is lying off San Diego.
Further insight into the tempera
mental disadvantage the couple labored
under was given by the testimony of
J. Snider, a friend, who was called as
the only corroborative \u25a0witness for the
plaintiff. Snider testified that Dr. Du
higg told him on several occasions that
Ms wife was not a "sport," and that
she "did not show enough speed." He
further said that Duhigg seemed to
think that his wife was not suited to
mingle in the navy social set because
she lacked a gay and frolicsome spirit.
"is%)PPIXG AT ST. FRAXCIS
Mrs. Duhigg has been staying at the
£t- Fra.ncis.; Duhigg himself was reg
istered at the St. Francis some days
ago, but did not meet his wife. In
fact, Mrs. Duhigg was unaware that
her husband was quartered under the
same roof with her.
There have been reports that the
young woman Intended to marry again
as soon as she received a divorce.
Lieutenant McAuley, who is at present
in Los Angeles, has been mentioned in
this connection, but Mrs. Duhigg de
nied the engagement yesterday.
"The story sprang from the fact that
the lieutenant and I spent a great deal
of time together about the hotels of,
the south. I have heard that I was
a!so engaged or about to marry a pay
master and an inspector in the navy,
but three stories are false*"
Mrs. Duhigg waived the question of
alimony, in the divorce proceedings.
"I have a larger income a month
than lie earns," she said. She said that
she intended to go to China in search
of health and would leave shortly.

HEARST INSISTS ON
RETURN OF FLEET
Wires Sensational Dispatch
Concerning Japanese to His
New York Paper
[Special Dispatch lo The Call]
NEW YORK. Jan. 20. — William R.
Hearst, who is now In San Francisco,
\u25a0wires to his New York paper and
there is printed in the American this
morning a sensational, double column
scare Iread telegram urging that the
Pacific fleet be sent back to the Pa
cific coast immediately in order to
forestall any action that Japan might
take, growing out of the legislation
now pending in the legislature at Sac
ramento. Hearst says:
There Is another acute situation
with Japan. The usual complica
tions are developing which threat
ened war before and threaten war
now and may eventually result in
war. ' j
These "acute situations" and
diplomatic complications and
threats of conflict will, recur as
long as conditions are allowed to
exist as they formerly existed and
now exist.
Mr. Roosevelt may go flown to
posterity as a great statesman, as
a great orator, as a great phil
anthropist and as. a -great rough
and ready fighter, but he will never
illuminate the pages of history as
a great strategist.
. The best he can do now is to
correct an obvious mistake, as soon
as maybe and. send the fleet back a
to the Pacific coast. It is needed
here and it may be needed im
mensely and immediately. It is
not needed to. pay presidential calls
upon the potentates of Europe. •
California should and doubtless
will accede to your requests, "Mr.
Roosevelt, and temporarily " re
linqish her state's right to avert
war, but nothing that California
can do will prevent war as long';
as Japan wants war.

NEWBURGH IN TEARS
ON WITNESS STAND
At^orne^on for; Attempted
Jury Bribing Denies Story
Told \u25a0 by } Blake ;
Wife of Accused; Rages Against
District Attorney; on Leav
r ing Courtroom
Sobbing between answers duringlhls
examination, Adolph.-S. Newburgh, on
trial for attempted jury bribing, was' a
pitiable sight as a witness in : his-own
behalf -before Judge -Murasky.; arid^ a
jury at. last night's session of his trial.'
Throughout the trial jjf Frank J^ Mur
phy^ who was simliarly charged, . New
burgh -.few .emotions other
than fright, and he testifiedin that. case
without the slightest, show of emotion.
Last night \ he was: pale, nervous
extremely irritable. At frequent inter
vals he burled, his .face' in his -hands
and wept. So often " was this scene
re-a.cted" that Attorney 8.. Schlesinger
was: forced to ask his client to: speak
louder and to address' the jury."
: The session yesterday was a bad one
for Newburgh.v During the; noon. recess,
as .{ the : defendant \ and ' his . t wlf e -were
leaving the courtroom, Mrs. 1' Newburgh
burst Into a rage and attempted to;sub
ject " District Attorney Langdon to a
bitter -denunciation. Newburgh, .after
various attempts .to quiet his | spouse,
was compelled to clasp his. hand over
her mouth, '. and with great \ effort she
was prevented -from carrying out her
intentions. This display- of ; temper
prevented the woman, from appearing
at the trial during the afternoon and
evening sessions. .; . ;
SMALL FEE CAUSE OP TEARS /
; From 8 o'clock In the evening until
10:30 Newburgh \was under 'examina
tion,'first by his own "counsel and then
by District Attorney Langdon in cross
examination. The; defense put up' by
the witness agreed in many despects
with his former testimony and 'dove
tailed into the : statements made by
Murphy. But there were wide differ
ences between the defendant's testi
mony, and that of E. Al 1 S. Blake. ! Be
fore: proceeding very far Newburgh at
the suggestion jof his counsel denied
unequivocally all Blake's, lncriminating
testimony. He did state, however, that
the ; ialse affidavit ' prepared by-Blake
was to be sprung In court during the
examination of Ruef talesmen, as It
would create a sensation.
For all his trouble in conducting the
police court end of the Ruef case New
burgh received a fee of $25 ' a day from
Ruef and it was the statement of this
fact that caused the defendant to shed
his first tear. V \u25a0 ': ' 'H\ :;.
Before ho had - become an attorney
at law Newburgh .'was engaged in
many enterprises— as % a drummer, ped
dler and agent. ': He.' had also sold
blankets and "blue, cloth" to Chinese
residents, of this city. \u25a0 • ,'< •'\u25a0.• .'\u25a0'•
.Newburgh said that he. told Carroll
Cook, - former - superior- judge;;' Dr.
Rosencrantz and Joe ' Naphtaly, &-po~.
lice .court lawyer, thatiKelly' had ' ; so-,
•licited a- bribe :to!i vote j for 'an Vacqulttat
If. .he. became; a.member. of ' the : Ruef
jury, but that he did not tell Ruef.
TESTIMONY OF CHARACTER ;
Following the' procedure taken in the
trial of Frank J. Muruhy, Newburgh's
attorneys called ' many "witnesses who
testified to the defendant's record as a
lawyer. Two important facts "in conf
nection r with . Newburgh's career as. a
lawyer came to light. It appeared that
Newburgh had a physical Rencounter
with* Superior Judge Edward P. Mogan
over *a . difficulty that occurred^ in' the
latter's courtroom. It'was also stated
that Newburgh had' been implicated ; in
the alleged theft of , three racehorses
from the old Bay district track and
that a .warrant was issued, for his ar
rest. .:: ' " '\u25a0' ; ." \u25a0s \u25a0 '.•,.;:' .'.
William >H. Schooler, who, at the
trial of Frank J. Murphy placed him
self In an unenviable position as a
witness, was called to the stand;yes
terday and testified that he had been
hired by : Newburgh~ to defend Blake.
Schooler seemed ; to" have \ forgotten
many ;:'ofS the ''conversations-' that- took
place between himself, Newburgh - and
Murphj*. «
CLASH BETWEEN' COUNSEL
During the morning session Robert
Ferral, one of Newburgh's attorneys,
declared that Assistant District .Attor
ney. Cook "could not be insulted,"
whereupon :Cook appealed to the court,
asking that Ferral be reprimanded. The
court I instructed.- the jurors to - disre
gard the occasional outbursts of temper
among counsel. : y, \u25a0'...> \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 , -
Schlesinger during- the afternoon at
tempted ito 'elicit; f rom a witness the
statement that he ; had . been approached
by "Butch" Bell, a notorious Ruef gum
shoe, man, Schlesinger. asserting that
BelUwas acting in behalf of the dis
trict attorney. „. ; ' ; .-/-.
| This ,;•\u25a0;\u25a0' insulting ..reference brought
Langdon; to* his feet instantly, ' and - he
explained just who "Bell was. ' ' J .Th?
reference made by Schlesiriger to the
j notorious character proved & boorher
arigvto : .the defense, for Bell has \u25a0' ben
